"Be careful what you wish for because you might just fall hard on them..."
Stuck in a cursed reverse harem novel, I find myself tasked with helping the second lead male characters let go of their first love and find them new ones in order for me to...
Kung akala ko'y iyon na 'yon ay hindi pa pala. Dahil bigla na lamang sumingit ang punong ministro sa kaganapan habang siya'y bahagyang natatawa.
"Your Majesty, since boldness seems to be in the air today, I suppose I'll speak my mind as well. The desire I have for the lady of house Gemsworth is unyielding, and if you wouldn't mind, your majesty, I'd like to ask you for a duel in exchange of Lady Giezelle's hand."
"You treacherous fool! I will never let you take Giezelle!" King Froy thundered, blocking his path in a heartbeat. But the confrontation was far from over.
The chaos erupted into something far more dangerous when Ser Aeros drew his sword and leveled it at the king—a bold and unmistakable act of treason. His voice rang out, cutting through the tension. "Then let me challenge you instead, Your Majesty. As General of the Asnador army, I demand Lady Giezelle's hand as my prize, should I defeat you in a duel."
The king's fury was immediate, his voice seething with outrage. "You dare call me your king while you speak of betrayal? This madness ends now! I will not allow any of you to lay claim to Giezelle—no matter the cost!"
I tried to stop them, to intervene, but it was futile. They were too far gone—especially King Froy, who shoved me aside and unsheathed his sword with lethal intent, ready to strike.
Laking gulat ko na lamang ng bigla niya atakihin si Ser Aeros gamit ang espada niya. Everyone screamed seeing the dangerous duel between the two. Nakita ko naman na maski ang iba pang male leads ay nagsimulang magaway-away.
For pete's sake, was this all because of me? I never asked any of this in the first place!
Hindi ko rin alam papano ako aawat sa kanilang lahat dahil baka ako naman ang mapahamak dahil halos lahat sila ay may kanya-kanyang hawak na espada at nagtatalo-talo ngayon.
At sa kalagitnaan ng pagkataranta ko'y may bigla na lamang pumalibot sa baiwang ko makisig na braso. Nang mapalingon ako'y nakita kong si Duke Lorkan ito.
"Your grace?" Ang tanging nasambit ko.
"I apologize for being late, my dear betrothed. I had to finish the remaining assassins who were after you." saad niya sabay haplos sa pisngi ko. At hindi pa man ako nakakaisip ng sasabihin ay dagli naman ako inalalayan ni Duke Lorkan sa may tabi sabay sabing, "Now, let me handle things from here, my lady. I'll prove these fools to whom you really belonged to, and that's to me alone."
Following that, Duke Lorkan clearly proved his words to me. Mabilis pa sa inakala ko nang mapatumba niya ang iba sa mga male lead. Gregory refused to fight Lorkan as his loyalty to him was much stronger than his desire to win. And that in the end, the fight was left for Duke Lorkan and King Froy.
Sa titig nila sa isa't-isa batid kong hindi lang basta magiging tagisan ito ng galing sa paghawak ng espada. The Duke of Kahoma was still merciful to spare the lives of others by knocking them unconscious.
However, the way they positioned their swords meant things were about to get bloody. And true to how I feared, nagsimula sumugod ang dalawa sa isa't-isa and I was helpless to even stop it, making me screamed for them to stop.
