“The Tigerkin…”
“Did you ever wonder why they were so rare?” He shrugged. “I couldn’t have some kind of competitor rising in my wake, so I made sure to kill all of them.”
“Are… you sure about that?” Astria asked, her expression somewhat dark.
“Yes, you must be speaking of the Tigress, Lydia was it?” Astria’s expression fell at his words. “Someone must have gone to a great effort to sneak her out. Having her listed as a catkin, and even selling her as a sex slave. To subject your own family to such a life just to keep them alive, she was able to slip through my fingers. Thankfully, your foolish Deek had her properly registered in the Slave Guild, and I was able to learn of her. Then, he even broke the bond with her, so I could deal with her properly.”
“What did you do?” Astria cried out, trying to lunge out at Roth, only for the lead lioness to get in her way and kick her in the stomach, causing her to collapse, coughing up more blood.
“She was dealt with.” He responded shortly. “It didn’t really matter. Even if she was alive, the prophecy was for a male tigerkin, not a tigress. She wouldn’t have been able to change a thing…”
“Th-then, why?” Astria croaked.
“I’m done answer questions. Playtime is over. Isn’t that right, Deek Deekson?”
He looked right at me once again.
“Right…” I spoke back coldly.
I was shaking with fury, watching as Astria was beaten. I was compelled to continue to listen only because he was revealing much that I didn’t know. I had begun to wonder if he knew I was there, given how much he revealed. He seemed to like to gloat even more than Demon Lord Aberis. Perhaps that was a theme for villains.
“The reasons I’ve told your little fairy all of this is because no matter what happens, you won’t be able to change it. What has happened has already happened, and what will happen is already decided.” King Roth crossed his arms and stood as if everything was in his control. “I will offer you a chance. Give me the fairy spring, and your head, and I will make sure your harem is well taken care of.”
“Are you kidding me?” I couldn’t help but snort.
He shrugged. “Suite yourself. I already knew you’re refuse my offer. You see, I know you. You’re just like Karr, a Harem Master wannabe who lacks the strength to take what he wants. In the end, you’ll lose everything. I know the ending to my story, and this isn’t it. If I’m successful, then my story will never end.”
“We’ll see about that.”
“I wouldn’t want you doing something foolish like destroying the fairy spring. Therefore, I’ll give you the illusion of a chance at victory. One week… a magic rune will trigger the moment you get this message, and then you will have one week before I march on Chalm, and take everything by force. You can surrender early, or you can watch it all taken from you.”
“You call yourself a Harem Master when you throw women away? Master will beat you-” Astria tried to speak, but the lead woman slapped her again.
“You’d call him any better? I seem to recall a certain foxkin recently stumbling through my lands full of dispair. His tigress is dead. As for you…” He turned to me and grinned. “Ladies, rip off her wings.”
“No. Noo! Nooo!” Her pleas were ignored as the lionesses descended on Astria.
For the first time, she had a look of terror on her face.
“A Harem Master that can’t even protect his harem.” King Roth didn’t even look back as Astria screamed. “Pathetic.”
The image disappeared with a flash.
