My Nine Wives Want to Kill Me!

After walking into the baths from inside the palace, William looked at every concubine who was there. Initially, William wanted to walk out of the palace baths. Still, Elena, who noticed William’s presence, decided to call him inside.

With a heavy and uncomfortable heart, William couldn’t help but walk into the bathhouse together with his concubines. Even Selena was among the concubines. For some reason, an awkward feeling swept through the place.

But William was not bothered by the appearance of the concubines who wanted to bathe with him. On the contrary, William endlessly immersed his mind in the problems that would occur at this time.

Illya’s eyelids flickered at William’s calm and impassive expression. William’s body began to radiate pure power, like that of a saint. Even so, Illya didn’t care at all about the changes that occurred in William’s body.

A small grin appeared on Elena’s lips. As a woman who can predict the future, Elena realized that William had now increased his strength far more than before.

"Your Majesty, your strength has increased very sharply. I believe you have made a great breakthrough. I congratulate Your Majesty."

"Well... Actually, I didn’t think too much about it. And you, Elena, are you serious about sticking by my side? Let the others get it too."

A slightly displeased expression crossed Elena’s face. Elena’s eyes continuously stared at the women in the bath. Even Scarlett was in the bath with all of them. But Scarlett’s current focus was only on cleaning her body. Although Scarlett was aware of William’s breakthrough, she would not ask about his current strength in front of the concubines.

After being in the kingdom for a long time, Scarlett realized that the concubines in the palace were a double-edged sword for William’s survival. As William’s grandmaster, she would not let the concubines know William’s true strength.

"I’m sorry! This is better given to Selena. After all, she also wants to talk to you about the problem."

No answer came out of William’s mouth. Instead of accepting Elena’s proposal, William, without hesitation, immediately ignored Selena’s face, which showed a look full of hope.

"No. Since all nine of you are gathered in one place, I want to discuss something with you. This is about those who want to kill me or want to be part of my women. Apart from Diana and Anna, you cannot be considered my women."

The concubines in the baths realized what William’s words meant. The attitudes shown by Diana and Anna over the past few days were different from the last time they saw each other. Therefore, the concubines considered that Diana and Anna had completely submitted to William’s orders.

"Hehe. Doesn’t that mean His Majesty will conquer us all one by one? Could it be that His Majesty won’t feel satisfied after bringing your mother-in-law home?" Hela’s words didn’t really make William care. There was no way William would feel offended by Hela’s pointless questions. In the end, Yelna was one of the women who slept with William.

A small laugh came out of William’s mouth. William’s calm gaze gave a strange feeling to most of the concubines in the bath. For some reason, the handsomeness shown by William at this time had increased a bit from before.

William’s current figure was like a handsome man who only exists in dignified paintings. Even Selena felt embarrassed when she looked at William’s handsome and charming face. It wasn’t just Selena who was attracted by William’s good looks. Elena, Illya, Hela, Anna, and Diana all shared the feelings that Selena was currently feeling.

Women like Aurora, Scarlett, and Marianee didn’t care about William’s good looks at all. The goals of these three women from the start were much different from those of the concubines. Therefore, they now only focused on taking care of their own problems.

"Cough. By the way, I have something important to announce to you all. It was supposed to be announced the next day. But this is a good time to tell you."

Diana shook her head, in contrast to Anna, who was currently showing an embarrassed face. This was something that Anna could not refuse—becoming William’s second legal wife.

There was no guilt visible on Anna’s face. Both Anna and Diana were two women who had submitted to William’s orders. Even though Diana was jealous, she still considered Anna as her partner on the same side as William.

"Anna will be my second legal wife from now on. You all have to be as respectful toward her as you are to Selena. Even if you are all careful with each other, I just want you to continue to obey every rule within the palace." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The rules of the current palace were changed by William after becoming the current William. The rules created by William before were stupid rules that could destroy the foundation of the kingdom. If William did not immediately change every rule within the palace, he was afraid that the Lionheart Kingdom’s finances would decline and turn it into an abandoned kingdom.

Almost all the concubines in the bath could not express any reaction to William’s statement. Even Marianee, who acted indifferent, showed a surprised expression when she heard it. With one of the concubines becoming William’s legal wife, they would have more authority to command the citizens within the Lionheart Kingdom.

Actually, this was one of Marianee’s plans to become William’s concubine. Previously, Marianee had been too foolish to think about William having a legal wife. But that had now changed after Anna became William’s second legal wife.

William’s statement to make Anna his second legal wife was also proof that they all had the opportunity to become the third, and so on. But that didn’t apply to Selena. Instead of ignoring Anna, who became William’s second legal wife, she felt her heart ache as she remembered her past relationship with William.

"I will make you my only legal wife! Be my woman, Selena. I will swear to make you happy in the future."

Selena’s view of William was no different from before. The attitude shown by William in their childhood was that of a good child. But William began to turn into a bastard who always abused his power to oppress his people. Therefore, Selena had long forgotten the promise William made when they were young.

That didn’t mean Selena didn’t love William as she had in the past. Selena’s current feelings had not changed even after William became a jerk. For Selena, the promise made by William in the past would forever remain a beautiful memory and would never come true.

Now, William had raised Anna’s status from being a concubine to becoming his second legal wife. As William’s only legal wife, Selena felt strong jealousy relentlessly sweep through her heart.

Even though he was aware that Selena’s expression had turned ugly, William ignored her sharp gaze and only focused on Anna. A slight grin appeared on William’s lips. Being able to announce Anna’s rise to the status of his second legal wife was something he found interesting. Moreover, the expression shown by Selena was enough for William to feel satisfied.

This was William’s revenge against Selena, who had dared to harm him before. But William didn’t hate Selena’s attempt to kill him. Instead, he decided to forget what happened in the past and focus on the future.

From the start, Selena was the reason William was able to rise again from death. The only reason William still considered Selena his legal wife to this day was because of his gratitude toward her. William’s feelings for Selena had not changed from the past.

All of William’s previous memories became known to him shortly after he awakened in William’s body. Ignoring the complicated expressions of the concubines in the bath, William decided to stand up and leave.

What William felt toward the concubines was no different from how he felt toward enemies he had to be wary of. Not all the women who became William’s concubines were good. To become a strong and dominating king, William had to subjugate the other seven concubines and make them his women.

After William’s figure disappeared from the bath, a cold laugh came out of Hela’s mouth. Hela’s gaze turned toward Selena, who was still unsettled. Both Hela and several concubines in the bath looked at Selena with pitying eyes.

"He’s so cruel. Pfft... I really feel sorry for you. But that’s him. Because that man has decided to make Anna his second legal wife, you will no longer have full authority to order the servants in the palace."
