Harem System In A fantasy World

Everyone stared at Zenith with a dumbfounded expression. Since Elion had mentioned that she was a saint somewhere along his explanation, none of them could even refute her bold statement about controlling a mysterious system from a literal goddess.

Elion sighed, "See? This is what I mean by troublesome."

Zenith, however, looked proud regardless. Mira covered her mouth lightly, "I like her more and more."

Tessa muttered, "I am starting to understand why you said her personality is troublesome."

Elion nodded solemnly, "She is very beautiful, very powerful, and very dangerous."

Zenith’s eyes brightened, "Hubby is praising me." She squirmed sensually in her seat.

"That was only half praise."

"I will take it anyway."

Still, Tessa had not forgotten the original question. "So this Incubus Bloodline," she said. "What exactly does that mean for you?"

Elion blinked. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, are you different because of it?"

Mira’s eyes gleamed slightly.

"Well," he said carefully, "it changed my body, charm, instincts, and some abilities."

Mira smiled, "Instincts?"

Elion glanced at her. "Mira."

She was already aware of all this, and yet she was going out of her way to make things difficult; maybe she was just getting back at him for being gone for so long.

"What? I am asking for the sake of everyone’s understanding."

"You are asking because you are enjoying this."

"Both can be true."

Either way, Isla’s face warmed as she seemed to realise what Tessa was implying. Succubi and incubi, otherwise known as lust demons...Their abilities and innate qualities were well known.

So the question was, did that apply to Elion as well since he was technically part incubus?

Aria stared at Elion quietly, though her ears were faintly red as she recalled some of her experiences while having sex with Elion.

Elion rubbed his forehead. "Yes, my desire became stronger, much stronger, among other things, of course. The Incubus Bloodline affects that."

Mira’s smile widened. "That explains a lot."

Elion sighed, "But it is not just that. It also improved my charm, perception of affection, and certain abilities related to intimacy and emotional bonds. The Harem Seal is one of those things."

Tessa, who had only recently begun stepping into Elion’s world, frowned slightly, "Harem Seal..."

Elion nodded, "It is a bond. A permanent one; if both sides accept it fully, it links me to my partners. It lets me sense them, share certain things, and in some cases, protect or strengthen them."

He paused. "The link is also how I found Mira earlier."

"Oh, I was wondering how you tracked me; it works that way too?" Mira chimed in

"Yes."

Aria’s fingers tightened against her lap. "If not for that..." She did not finish.

Elion’s gaze grew colder for a moment. "If not for that, I still would have found her."

Mira smiled gently, "Of course you would."

Elion continued, "The seal is not something I force. At least, not anymore."

Tessa frowned, "What does that mean?"

Elion closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again. "It means I may have made mistakes. When I first received the system, I did not understand everything properly. I was desperate, angry, weak, and when I gained abilities I had never imagined before, I did not always think clearly about what they meant."

Elion looked at Aria.

"Some things happened too quickly. Some choices were made in ways that I would not do so casually now. The seal is powerful, but because it is powerful, it has to be treated carefully. In the event that Mira, Aria, or Zenith betray me, say by sleeping with another, or having thoughts of harming me, though I’m not sure about the second one, they will die. However, that also means that if you had any doubts about being with me at some point before then, it is better to just give up before committing since the consequences can be so dire."

Aria stared at him with a grave expression. "Are you saying you regret sealing us?"

"No." Elion shook his head.

"I do not regret being connected to you, any of you." His gaze moved to Mira. "I regret not understanding the weight of it sooner."

Mira smiled. Their first time having sex together had not been exactly pleasant, but somehow she ended up enjoying it anyway. So that answer seemed to satisfy her more than a simple denial would have.

Tessa looked at him for a long moment before asking, "And me?"

Elion turned to her. Tessa’s face was a little red, but her gaze was direct.

"I mean, if I decide to... join this ridiculous garden of flowers, or whatever Mira calls it, what then?"

Mira corrected, "Elion’s harem of beautiful flowers."

"Do not make me say that."

"You will eventually."

"I will not!."

Elion chuckled softly, but when he answered Tessa, his expression was serious.

"You can decide at your own pace, but for many obvious reasons: if you want to commit yourself to me, then it’s only natural that you have to accept the harem seal, because if you are truly committed, and you wish to be with me, there is no reason to refuse, regardless of the consequences.

"If you find yourself questioning your own choice, and a part of you is even the tiniest bit worried about the consequences, then that just means you were never devoted in the first place. As I said before, I will not force you into anything; the choice is yours to make."

Tessa’s gaze narrowed. It might have sounded like Elion was threatening her, but there was really no way to refute his logic. Besides, as he had said, she had no reason to refuse, unless she had doubts about her own devotion toward him.

"You are right, but I will still take you up on your offer to be given more time to think about everything; you did just throw a lot on my plate." She chuckled. "Just don’t try anything funny before then..."

"Of course," Elion smiled, "Besides, you would punch me if I tried anything too shameless."

He had no reason to worry about her changing her mind; as soon as she got her first taste of his dick, she definitely wasn’t going to even need another moment to think and second-guess devoting herself to him.

Tessa raised a fist. "I still might punch you afterward, harem seal or not."

"See? Free will."

Mira laughed.
