Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 861 At the Castle

When Rudy was subjugating the labyrinthine facility, the beautiful girls of Rudy's harem gathered in the opulent meeting room of the castle, their voices echoing through the grand chamber.

It was a common hall which Lu Bela had designed for them to sit and enjoy quality time together with Rudy.

The girls had selected a room of their choice and described how they wanted the interior to look like. Lu Bela had personally taken notes, and she was in the process of bringing the rooms of their dreams to come true.

All the girls were present there, except Rias.

As soon as Rudy left, Rias approached Lu Bela and demanded her room to be the first one to be prepared. And so, her wish was granted and her room was perfected first.

Then, she closed herself in the room to get ready for her revenge plan against Jane, who was oblivious to everything and having a meeting with the girls.

"I feel sorry for Rias…" Maria muttered. "We can't discuss harem in her presence, but it feels like we are betraying her trust by doing things behind her back."

Of course, all the girls in Rudy's harem knew that Jane was the only one who was unaware that Rias already knew everything. Rias had somehow managed to get all the girls onboard for her revenge plan against Jane.

After hearing Maria's concern, Jane clenched her fists and said, "Isn't it her fault too?"

"Jane, how is it her fault?" Lilim asked with a mixture of curious and confused look on her face.

"If it was me in her stead, or in fact, any other girl, she would surely have gotten suspicious of Rudy. But no, Rias never confronted Rudy about how close we are to him. Neither did she ask us. Don't you think that's strange?"

"Isn't it because she trusts us that we wouldn't steal Rudy from her?" Angelica wondered, hiding her smirk behind her face.

"Or… she trusts Rudy that he would never fool around with other girls behind her back. I mean, we all are at fault here. We are partners in crime. All of us are equally guilty for misusing Rias' trust, even Rudy.

We all share an equal responsibility to let her know the truth. Remember, I am not the only one who is betraying her. And if she ever catches any of us, others will go down the same way."

Jane was right according to her since she didn't know that Rias already knew about everyone even before they told her. After the vampire gang moved to the mortal Realm, the girls had taken up to themselves to let Rias know about the harem.

However, Jane was the only girl who didn't do that. And that's what Rias was furious about.

Jane had so many chances to reveal the truth, but she didn't. If she hadn't caught Jane and Rudy in the secret chamber where Rias was supposedly in the slumber, Rias would have never found out.

Of course, Rudy would have told her as soon as he had gotten a perfect opportunity, but Jane wouldn't have otherwise.

Rias would have let it slide if it was any other girl, like she did with Niti. But Jane was her blood related twin sister who hated humans, separated her from Rudy on Virgil's order, and then fucked Rudy when she was in a slumber.

Rudy could easily solve the pro-longing matter in seconds, but Rias didn't want Rudy to intervene in her family matter. Still, Rudy wasn't sure if he should let Rias do what she wanted, but he eventually let her do it.

He wanted Jane and Rias to solve their matter for all at once, rather than them bringing it up again and again every other week or so.

The other girls in Rudy's harem shared the same concern.

"Say, Jane…" Niti spoke out, softly. "Rudy was already acquainted with the other girls before and after he met Rias, but it's different for you. These girls are strangers to Rias, but you aren't. Don't you think Rias would feel more hurt if she were to find out that you have been doing something so cruel to her?"

Niti was a mother figure to Jane, and she was the only person Jane would listen to.

"That's why it is tough for me to tell her. It could break our relationship or her relationship with Rudy. I don't want to destroy that, but I know I can't keep my relationship a secret forever." She let out a weary sigh and bit her lips.

"I should have let Rudy tell her when he was offering his help. But I acted high and mighty in front of him to look cool. And now I can't ask him to do the same. Otherwise, I will lose my self-respect."

"So when do you plan to tell Rias?" Lilim asked, glancing at Jane. "We moved to the castle today. I think it's a great time to let her know. This will be a new beginning for all of our lives."

"What about you girls? Are you not going to tell her?"

"We will, after you."

"I think that's a bad idea. I can guarantee she will be fuming once I tell her, and if any of you tell her about the same, she might take her anger out on all of you, too."

"Who wants to tell what to who?" Rias asked as she walked into the grand hall. With heavy footsteps, she approached the girls, who were sitting comfortably in the soft chairs Lu Bela had bought for them.

Lilim moved next to Angelica to make space for Rias to sit beside Jane.

"So?" Rias made herself comfortable next to Jane and glanced at the girls' faces. "What were you guys talking about?"

"Oh, that!" Jane forced her smile and continued, "We were talking about a TV show we all watched a few nights back, and wondering what's going to happen in the next season." 𝐢𝗻𝐧𝐫𝗲𝐚𝐝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Looks like you have gotten a little too accustomed to the human world, Jane." Rias sharpened her glare as her voice changed the tone. "I hope you don't embrace to human ideology and become like them."

Rias was there to give one last chance to Jane to see if she confessed or not. Now, she would not stop or alter her revenge plan, no matter what happened.
