Extra's Harem: Invincibility Starts with Marriage and lots of Children-Chapter 35 - Olea’s Parents’ Death
’What the?’,
Olea stood there looking towards both of their conversation regarding her.
While she was not asked for any consent, she remained static.
She couldn’t help but look towards that man who claimed to fall in love with her, while just a moment ago he was enchanted by the princess.
She clearly heard how his reaction and the words were genuine as he called the princess beautiful.
This led the princess to use that weakness against him, acting in a way to extract information about Mialthara’s address.
Initially, Olea had expected it to be impossible for this man, who had suggested her to air Mialtara in the Ghost Sect, to reveal such crucial information to the princess.
Here, she observed how his behavior until now, during their way to the capital city, showed his attraction to her.
She had completely rejected the fact that he would choose the princess’s side in front of her.
"Princess, at least—"
Observing how they were not even asking her, she tried to interrupt.
Clearly taking her stand, she realized the princess was giving a promise that didn’t include her consent.
And even when she was not her subordinate or entitled to follow that promise.
"Olea, you don’t need to care either about my father; I will bring you to meet him tomorrow before my marriage to get his permission."

But suddenly, she got interrupted by him, causing her to halt and turn.
Narrowing her gaze as she heard his words, she reflexively tightened her hand on her sword’s hilt.
She heard his offer where he was going to arrange a meeting with his father.
It was an instant where she felt that same suffocating feeling after losing her emotional balance due to anger directed at that man, to whom she had several scores to settle.
Prompted to compose herself first, she kept looking towards Kyle.
’Well..’
Leon observed that his words were strategic.
First, he took the promise from the princess for official acceptance of polygamy after their marriage.
If he were to pursue or marry any other woman, most probably the laws would have prohibited it.
Though he was stronger than anyone here, numbers and long-range attacks could definitely harm him.
He needed to remain vigilant of the Azure Flame Kingdom’s laws at least for now.
So first knowing the future where tomorrow he would be married to the princess, he got that promise.
Second, by offering Olea a chance to meet Duke Arcutus, he ensured that she remained absent from the palace after his marriage.
After all, he needed to avoid killing Olea.
For others, there were no exceptions.
So, it was better if an assassination attempt on him was going to happen by members of the Ghost Sect or another group rather than by her or the princess.
But the issue here was how he was going to arrange a meeting with his father, given that man was already under the possession of the dark witch, the stepmother of Kyle.
To be specific, according to the story, when Kyle’s real mother was still healthy and had a good amount of influence over the social circle in the kingdom, her husband was out of the kingdom at that time.
He caught the attention of a demonic cultivator who pursued him until the end.
The cultivator used leverage of his pregnant wife against him to marry, and then kept corrupting the first mistress until she finally died when her child was 8 or 9 years old—a truly sad backstory.
She became the mistress of the Arcutus family.
But this was not just the end.
Given how, after Olea had destroyed the complete Arcutus family, she became bloodthirsty for Kyle’s life.
This was from the fact that her parents’ deaths were related to Kyle.
More specifically, it was that after killing Kyle’s real mother, the stepmother needed to get rid of the sole heir of the Arcutus family.
To do that, she used a universal death magic—an art used to kill someone by summoning spirits and ghosts of ancient warriors.
So, it was like the stronger the spirit or ghost belonged to someone who had killed many individuals or was a murderer, the better their chances would be to fulfill the death circle.
The prime souls she found best for the death ritual were the assassins of that time, called Black Swan, who were coincidentally Olea’s parents.
But somehow, being lucky or whatever, Kyle survived that attack.
This led to the sacrificial souls that were used—Olea’s parents—to be trapped in a loop where until Kyle died, they could never reincarnate or move to the next life.
This fact led Olea to go after Kyle—even going so far as to ascend to the upper realm in the form of a broken soul—so that she could kill him and free her parents’ souls.
So it was just, there were too many death flags in Kyle’s life, and Leon had just stepped into that path.
"Duke Arcutus? Will he meet me?"
Olea inquired with a narrowed gaze, not trusting him.
She couldn’t help but find his confession suspicious, even after it was widely known how he was banished at such a young age.
He had no connections with the Arcutus family, except for the transfer of taxes on a small portion of resources back to them.
Having already been fooled by believing his words earlier, where she had thought that the chances of him revealing the address of Mialthara to the princess were null, she found it hard to now believe his other words.
Either way, it didn’t matter if the princess took that woman or her.
Given the temporary present, both were on the same side.
With having a conversation with Mialthara, she would persuade her herself.
"No, not exactly."
Leon stuttered, thinking of a way where he could naturally avoid arranging a meeting between the head of the Arcutus family and her.
His plan was to misguide her, but knowing well she would come after being lied to once, he needed to give her something more important than the Duke Arcutus’s head.
He noticed a frown deepening on her eyebrows after hearing his words, causing him to just reveal the secret behind her parents death, "As you see, there is a secret passage leading to the main mansion within Arcutus territory.
But it will be dangerous for you, given it has a forbidden illusionary death circle strong enough to kill that time’s strongest assassin couple called the Black Swans."
!?
Sckhlt!
Olea’s blade passed directly through Leon’s neck the moment he mentioned those words....
