Transmigrated in the F-Rated Reverse Harem Novel

Chapter 6: Isn't that fox a little too sly?



The concubines were all gathered in the long table made out of gold with a fancy chandelier in the middle, completely adorned with different jewels and stones. Each of them situated in their seats with gems engraved according to their ranks. The first concubine Aresian is situated beside the middle area in the right side, while the second concubine is situated beside the middle area on the left side, on the other hand, the third concubine L'sthar sat beside the second concubine, and lastly, the fourth concubine Thaddeus sat beside the first concubine.

"How befitting of you both to sit beside each other, a noble without manners and a peasant who slept his way to power." L'sthar covered his mouth with his fan and giggled.

Aresian smiled sweetly and tucked his hair behind his ears "I see why the count struggled to get the mine from Baron Stonen despite being a count, having an unclassy mouth does run in his blood."

L'sthar clenched his teeth in anger, all he wanted to do at this point is to grab that long brown hair of that dirty bastard who dared embarrass him in front of his wife a while ago, he couldn't care less about the insult thrown at his father.

With nothing to respond to the first concubine, he switched his focus to the fourth concubine who was sitting quietly beside Aresian, "Come to think of it concubine thaddeus, how's your mother lately? I assume she haven't met your father yet." 

Thaddeus bit his lower lip, clearly aggravated by the third concubine's words. "She is doing well, this concubine expresses his gratitude for your concern."

'Ah, this is hilarious. He should have just straight up asked if his mother is still alive and hasn't followed his father in heaven' The second concubine covered his mouth with his fan, hiding his light smile.

Aresian smiled "It seems that the third concubine greatly missed the fourth concubine's father, why not visit him yourself, concubine L'sthar?"

The third concubine slammed his hands in the table and clenched his fists tightly, shaking in anger. 

"Hah! Rather than me, it seems that you're looking forward to it more concubine aresian, why don't you go first, i'll follow you right after." Concubine L'sthar glared at the first concubine, smiling while the veins in his neck is about to pop out.

'Is that a new way of saying, you'll die before me?' the second concubine giggled under his breath, clearly enjoying the show. 

"I was taught everything I could possibly need to become successful by the royal etiquette tutor and part of his teachings was for me to become the bigger person and help others, ease your worries concubine L'sthar, I'll make sure to assist you in meeting the fourth concubines' family." The first concubine smiled gently, the light breeze from the window of the dining room swaying his hair.

'He made it impossible for him to respond by bringing the name of the royal tutor in the conversation, threatened his life, and pointed out that he might kill all the family of the fourth concubine and let them ascend together with the third concubine. Oh my, please come quickly your grace, these concubines are scary.' The second concubine folded his fan and hid it behind his dress with a smile plastered in his face. 

A/N: the dresses of men referred to in this novel looks like hanfu or yishang, which is a chinese traditional clothing for woman and men.

"The duke has arrived." Upon the announcement of the servant, they all stood up and faced the huge door. A woman with white hair and grey eyes arrived wearing a red and black uniform of the imperial palace which hugged her curves in all the right places and made her God like features stand out. All the concubines were at awe of her beauty and magnificence. They all bowed their heads and said in unison.

"Greetings, your grace." The woman went straight to her sit in the head of the table and motioned them all to take their seats.

"Serve the meal. My concubines must have been famished already, given how their mouths have been running without a certain destination in mind." Ilyana said, looking at both the first and the third concubines consecutively.

After a while, the second concubine smiled and raised from his seat, lightly walking with grace towards Ilyana. 

"What do you think you're doing Zathar? I see, the second concubine has lost his manners as well." Ilyana said, taking a sip from the wine in her glass.

The second concubine kneeled in front of Ilyana. He gently placed his head in her lap, his red eyes looking at her lovingly, tears slowly falling off his eyes "I apologize for acting like this, my wife. I was worried about you, as well. Yet, no one informed me that my wife has awakened from her slumber. My heart was torn into pieces, thinking that you might not wake up again. However, I knew that my wife is extremely strong and I believed in my wife so instead of lingering around your chambers, I decided to deal with a presumptuous animal daring to bite the hands that feeds her."

'This sly fox, he's been quiet but now that my wife is here, he's clearly showing off that he took care of the Baron involved in the suspension of the new law submitted by the south.' The first concubine grit his teeth in anger.

The third concubine dug his nails in his own palms, seething in fury 'Hah, I should take care of all of them extremely well, they're all nothing but flies buzzing irritatingly well in my wife's ears.'

'I should also be useful to my wife, all i've done is cause trouble.' The fourth concubine lowered his head and bit his lower lip in shame.

"My, you really are lovely, my little crow. You're forgiven for your actions just now." Ilyana smiled, running her hands through his soft curly hair. 

'Zathar Silva is the third prince of the neighboring country. Despite the fact that he's the illegitimate child of the King born from a noble who wasn't part of the King's harem, he was talented enough to keep his head intact. And while he often acts docile, simply enjoying the show from bickering consorts, he's also an ambitious man who founded the best intelligence guild without getting caught. He's definitely a walking treasure trove.' Ilyana thought.

"You there, prepare some berry cake for dessert. It's my sweetheart's favorite." She gently wiped the tears off his face and smiled at him.

"You remembered?!" He exclaimed, clearly overjoyed.

'Of course, how could I not when you're this useful? That damned baron had it coming, how dare he get in the way of my golden pot of money.' Ilyana thought grinning like a mad man in her head.

"Of course, how could I not remember my beloved concubines favorite cake?" The second concubine beamed even more, happily walking back to his original seat, clearly satisfied of the results of his hard work.

"Very well, let's eat." After taking her first bite of the steak, everyone else followed shortly after, eating their dinner in silence. 

The dinner had a heavy air, tension clearly visible between concubines except the second concubine who's clearly in cloud nine after being given attention by his beloved wife. Each bite of the steak felt nauseating for the others, making it difficult for them to swallow it. After awhile, Ilyana wiped the corner of her mouth with the towel and stood up. 

"Zathar, once your done with your meal, head to my chambers." After saying that, the servants opened the door and Ilyana headed out.

"Yes, your grace!" The second concubine replied, grinning widely.
