Sima Yi's expression was dark and despondent.

The femboy pressed his crimson-stained lips together, his dark eyes glimmering with a hint of watery sorrow. His legs, encased in thin silk stockings, were drawn together and slightly curled inward.

He turned his gaze away, looking at the winter landscape outside the carriage. The ethereal falling snow was no match for the melancholy in his heart.

It was almost as if... he truly felt lost...

Seeing Sima Yi in such a pitiful state, Reinhard couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt, as if he had wronged him.

Why do you look like I've abandoned you? This path isn't accessible to me!

While showing affection is natural and teasing Reines and Gray is fine, but having a man join in was too much. Reinhard thought to himself, he didn't have a dual-gender charm.

How could even a man be swayed by him... Reminded of the already deeply feminized Dr. Heartless, Reinhard couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.

Could it be that he truly had the blood of an incubus? Or is it all because of Slaanesh?

Slaanesh is inherently attractive to both genders, famous examples include Nero and Zeus.

Nero was appealing to both genders, while Zeus would seduce anything attractive, even if it was a cow. This idea was hard for Reinhard to accept.

Clearly, he was only engaging in normal conversation, expressing his views, and discussing openly. He wasn't some gentle and caring person, rather, he was adept at mass purges, genocide, and neutron extermination... a pure disaster-class war criminal.

Why did it always feel... like he was in a dating simulation where the girls were being won over? His interactions with other senior brothers were normal, but Sima Yi was excessively dramatic. Even Zhuge Liang didn't act like this, he slept like a log every day.

So, what made Sima Yi different from the others?

Was it because... Reinhard vaguely realized... Sima Yi was an evil person?

The debate between the inherent goodness and evilness of human nature was intense, and Reinhard had no interest in discussing the philosophical arguments and implications. However, his current companions, in the worldly sense, were all considered evil.

Simply put, they were inclined to break the order, belonging to the camp of chaos or evil.

The Witch of Britannia, the Darkness Devil Goddess, the Violent Maiden, the Fallen Hunter Princess, the Witch of Betrayal, the White Death, and the Beast of Regression...

Even the King of Knight, originally of lawful good, had been twisted by him into Blackened Artoria.

He was a pure villain, no doubt about it.

His current companions and those yet to be conquered, the women who coveted him, all bore traits such as: ominous, demonic, twisted, obsessive, deranged, sadistic... A veritable gathering of wicked women.

Unfortunately, Reinhard would not allow them the chance to fight amongst themselves. He would hone his skills, ensuring that their protests were merely playful, like fish out of water.

Preferred by the wicked.

Because... they lacked love?

Those deprived of love, walking in the shadows, often became more obsessive. Given a sliver of hope, they would rush toward it like moths to a flame.

Unintentionally, when he gifted Sima Yi the women's attire, it was indeed with a hint of teasing. He found it amusing, and it showed how devious he was.
