Reborn as a Leader: King's Debauchery, SSS-Yandere Harem and Evolution-Chapter 38- A temporary Plan

’Hope she doesn’t attack,’ Akhil made his way inside the queen’s room, noticing that the servants wore scarves, as was customary.

The room was empty, as the servants were on leave, which was expected; even though he was a king here, the real power lay in the hands of the aristocracy, as those who possessed wealth held the strength.

And naturally, in a kingdom where corruption was at its peak, the nobility were the ones holding more wealth than the royal family.

Uncaring, he arrived directly outside a room and opened it. As he did, his eyes went straight to the bathroom.

Considering what had happened a few hours ago, he was sure that the first thing she would do was try to clean herself off.

He made his way towards it before taking a seat on the sofa.

Of course, he was here to make a deal, not to offend her further by entering the bathroom, so he just tried to sit on the sofa, which was at the front of the bathroom door.

Swish

As he was about to take his seat, a light streak suddenly appeared in front of him after the bathroom door shot open.

The speed was too fast for him to react, but the shield artifact he possessed had already appeared in front of him, while his eyes fell on the woman within a bath-pool, with only her cascading hair visible.

’Laila, don’t!’ Akhil, already aware of who it was, swiftly suppressed the artifact, causing it to vanish.

He felt the world turn upside down as he was pressed directly to the floor with the cloaked woman on his back, holding the dagger.

Considering her weight and the sight he wanted to see, he let himself fall to the floor, aligning his gaze in the bathroom’s direction, looking towards the woman basking in the bath, inhaling a lungful of breath before yelling, "MOTHER, SAVE ME!"

Why did he do this?

He did it because he wanted to startle and embarrass her.

As he expected, the bathroom door which was already open, and his eyes set on Astarra’s back, in bewilderment, stood up from the bath pool, her whole body on display.

Water clung to Astarra’s skin, sliding down her body in slow, glistening trails through the curve of her spine, the slender waist caught in the line of sight with gravity slowly letting it climb down towards the curve of her plump hips.

Her thighs still trembled, faint bruises blooming along her hips where fingers had dug in deep, raw and fresh—her butt cheeks reddened.

"Y-you!" She turned her body in his direction as she saw him lying on the floor.

Her breasts bounced due to the recoil of the turn, swollen and flushed, rising and falling with shaky breaths—plump as they were, marked with hickeys around them.

Her pink nipples were hard and sore, still stinging from the way rough hands had squeezed and mouths had sucked, left aching and sensitive in the cool air.

Red marks, bites, and scratches littered her neck and collarbone, stark against her pale skin.

Her inner thighs glistened, a messy mix of water and the slick evidence of what had just been taken from her.

She stood there, dripping and bare, caught between fury and shock, eyes burning as if daring him to look any longer.

"Help... Ahem, sorry for those hickeys," Akhil, who was on the floor, flashed a smile as his eyes met hers while clearly noticing the mess he had made of her body, which was definitely needed, considering he, as a man, had to leave a long lasting first ecperience on her.

The major reason for him treating her in that way was due to his experience with the demon queen in this life. As he had not experienced it before, he had forgotten how to act like a human and treat women gently for their first time.

"How dare you, Lysanderic!" Astarra, visibly enraged, stepped out of the tub. With her first steps, she began to create a golden light that appeared like small, sprinkling needles, scattering around as she activated her dominion.

Her dominion was mind control, where based on her mental strength she could clearly hypnotize people, showing them illusions based on their primal instincts.

To put it simply, it was the ability to enhance a person’s emotions—whether they were experiencing trauma or nightmares, or the peak moments of happiness.

She could target either of these emotions, magnifying their overall effect and causing them to surge into euphoria or plunge into nightmares.

"Wait, at least hear me out, Mother," Akhil lifted his palm, trying to make a point while looking at her. He considered that he could definitely retaliate, but in the end, fighting these people would only increase his chances of facing defeat at the hands of those who were waiting for them to fight and grow tired.

In a moment where fighting them could not only lead to his defeat, but on the other hand, it would lead to both of their deaths at the hands of those who would want their bonds to break; he needed to form an alliance.

Of course, he had already secured the artifact which he needed most from her.

"Mother? Don’t disgust me, you lecherous worm," Astarra was visibly thunderstruck, hearing this lecherous man refer to her with such a holy title after doing all those things.

Clearly angered, she noticed that her dominion, even though it reached him, was not showing any resonance.

She exited the bathroom and pulled a towel from the nearby drawer to cover her body.

As she arrived, Akhil lay there, narrowing her gaze as she stood just a hand’s distance away, confused as to why he wasn’t either succumbing to her dominion or showing any reaction.

"Fine, Queen Astarra, I want your help in saving this kingdom." Akhil was well aware that the initial step for him should be to save this dying kingdom, considering the remaining human zones was already suffering from the demon attacks.

The land that is habitable for humans, with the laws already established, was the first thing he needed before taking any further steps.

"Kill him...."

"Huh?"
