Jemil and his wives attended the Demon Princess Lilith's seduction ball. Now Lilith has formally applied to be Consort #6. But before he can even reply... the harem is calling an emergency meeting. 🏛️ Location: Flare's Private Training Dojo Event: Secret Harem Strategy Session Agenda: Whether or not to let Lilith join the party (literally) Flare: "No. We vote. I say we decline her." Naia: "She saved Jemil's life during the Mirror Trap." Yura: "She's hot. Can we at least interview her?" Saphira: "She's unstable. Like... more than you." Lyra: "If she tries to cuddle my spot on the bed, she's dead." They sat around a glowing table made of enchanted dragonbone. Jemil, meanwhile, stood in the corner, sipping tea and wondering how his life had turned into a high-powered magical girlfriend committee. "Uh. Shouldn't I be part of the vote?" All five turned and glared at him. "You're the prize, not the voter," Flare said flatly. "Stay pretty and sip your tea," Yura teased. 💥 Then It Got Worse... A golden scroll materialized in midair, spinning and glowing. [Celestial Law Invocation Detected] "By royal decree of the Celestial Beast Council, engagement claims are being activated." "The following parties have submitted contracts of Divine Betrothal with: Jemil, Mortal Realm Summoner" Three names appeared: Astrae, Phoenix Queen of the Skies 🔥 Mira, Leviathan Princess of the Deep 🌊 Noxie, Shadow Sprite Empress of the Lost Vale 🌑 "I don't even know who Noxie is!" "You do now, honey," came a playful, echoing voice from the shadows. "Phoenix Queen?" Flare shouted. "That's my rival from Elemental War Year!" "She said Jemil promised her a duel!" Naia stood. "Mira is... complicated. We trained together once. She's obsessive. Don't let her near a fish tank." Lyra threw up her hands. "I can't keep track anymore! Are we... a team? A cult? A sorority of magical disasters!?" 📜 [System Log – Engagement History Review] Engagement 1 (Astrae): Made during a spirit duel when Jemil accidentally "claimed" her phoenix feather. Engagement 2 (Mira): Formed via an underwater life-saving soul bond. With kissing. While unconscious. Engagement 3 (Noxie): Contract sealed via prank summoning ritual at age 13. Terms include "marriage when powerful." Status: All three legally binding unless actively denied. "I AM NOT EVEN SURPRISED ANYMORE!" Flare shouted, lighting her hair on fire. "WE NEED A WHITEBOARD FOR THIS!" "I didn't mean to engage anyone. It's like fate is matchmaking me in my sleep." Yura giggled. "That's... kind of romantic, actually." Flare + Lyra: Hard no. Block Lilith. Burn the phoenix. Freeze the fish girl. Naia + Saphira: Strategic acceptance. Use their powers. Monitor behavior. Yura: Accept everyone. Make Jemil sleep in a bigger bed. "So what's the plan?" Jemil asked. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NoveIＦire.net "Simple," Flare grinned. "We hold a Harem War Council Tournament." Every claimed or existing wife must compete. Each challenger must prove they can protect Jemil, support him, and NOT drive him insane. Final approval? Jemil himself. Naia raised an eyebrow. "You're letting him decide?" "If we're going to share, we share the power too," Saphira said. "Or else it's not a harem. It's a hostage situation." Everyone looked at Jemil. "...Can I not die during this?" 📣 [System Notification] "Harem Selection Trials: Part 1" Location: Celestial Summit Incoming Challengers: 3 (Confirmed) Status: Jemil is the Ultimate Prize Meanwhile, in the distance... A woman wrapped in flame and feathers watches from above. "Jemil..." Astrae whispered. "You took my feather. Now I'll take your heart." And far beneath the sea... A glowing leviathan whispers to the deep. "Soon," Mira murmurs. "We'll be together forever, Jemil. And I won't let them take you back." 🗨️ Comment below: Who are you rooting for — the OG wives or the new mythic fiancées? 🌟 Vote with Power Stones 📅 : "Trial 1: Queen of Flame vs Queen of Skies"
