My Nine Wives Want to Kill Me!

Initially, Marie wanted to look for William and ask about Saintess Aria’s current whereabouts. However, what Marie found after going outside the castle was bad luck. When Marie intended to break into the castle, Scarlett appeared and dragged Marie back out of the castle.

Scarlett’s cold, emotionless expression stared at Marie’s face, which now revealed her ugly expression. It was not a good thing for Marie to face such a terrifying master. From Marie’s point of view, Scarlett was no different from the higher-ups in the orthodox church.

Scarlett’s power was not something Marie could resist. Previously, Marie had completely ignored the hidden strength of the Lionheart Kingdom’s troops. But now, all the thoughts Marie previously had had disappeared without a trace. Scarlett’s presence alone had shown how strong the Lionheart Kingdom’s foundation was today.

Suddenly, a nervous expression began to appear on Marie’s face. Marie’s previously wary gaze revealed a look full of fear. Her entire body began to shake as if she had encountered a terrifying monster.

"No way... The Destroyer, Scarlett!? It was you! I remember that you were the one who previously disrupted our orthodox church! How come you are in a remote place like this!?"

Scarlett’s previously firm gaze began to reveal a merciless look. Someone from outside the four kingdoms knowing Scarlett’s identity was not a big secret. From the very beginning, Scarlett had been a fugitive sought by the orthodox church of the Sun God for a long time.

The chaos Scarlett created in the past had taken root and continued into the current generation. Many people within the orthodox church were afraid of the terror Scarlett had brought upon them in the past. However, Scarlett’s strength was absolutely not something ordinary weak experts could resist.

"It seems like you have a background that is not simple. Little girl, I advise you to shut your mouth. If you dare to inform those old officials about my presence, I will go to your orthodox church just to behead you!"

Marie’s legs unconsciously gave out beneath her. Scarlett’s threat was enough to make Marie unable to resist every word she said. Suddenly, the sound of clapping was heard above Scarlett. The figure of a woman with light blue hair wearing a witch’s hat revealed her presence after hiding for some time.

"Aurora... didn’t I tell you not to interfere? This is my problem with this little girl!"

"Heh~. Bullying the weak doesn’t suit you at all. Is it all because you are concerned for that little boy?"

"Since you already know, then why are you asking again? This is all for William. I just want to lighten his burden as a ruler." A sigh escaped Scarlett’s mouth. Scarlett’s only goal right now was to protect William. Even if Scarlett wanted to kill Marie to protect William, she could do so without having to worry about the anger of the higher-ups of the orthodox church of the Sun God.

Not all the higher-ups of the orthodox church would be concerned if one of their top-ranking experts was killed by Scarlett. After the chaos Scarlett created in the past, the higher-ups of the orthodox church believed that they should not provoke Scarlett over such a small matter.

"Hehe. You are one of that little man’s women. So am I. We have both married him. Why don’t you give yourself to him?"

Every time Scarlett talked to Aurora alone, she felt her anger could explode at any moment because of Aurora’s chatter. Maybe it was true that Scarlett had become William’s woman. But William was a weak man. As a woman who had reached the peak of the power hierarchy of this world, she would not allow a man like William to possess her, even if he was the child of her two deceased disciples.

"Ck. What about you? You should also have the same thoughts as I do, right? You think of William as a little boy. Therefore, I know you are not serious about becoming one of his concubines at all."

The reason Aurora wanted to become one of William’s concubines was to stay by Scarlett’s side. Everyone outside this remote region knew Scarlett’s true identity. As a witch who stood above the hierarchy among witches, Aurora had the full right to stay by Scarlett’s side and receive her protection.

Aurora’s admiration for Scarlett was tied to the protection she wanted to receive from her. Aurora’s only goal in the Lionheart Kingdom was to remain with Scarlett, and another reason was to escape from the angels’ pursuit. After being chased by angels for several dozen years, Aurora decided to hide and chose to become William’s concubine.

There were no feelings of love between Aurora and William. One of the reasons was also the vast difference in their ages. Therefore, none of William’s concubines had any feelings for him beforehand.

Until now, Aurora had not seen William as a man who could stand on equal footing with her and Scarlett. From Aurora’s perspective, Scarlett’s strength was something someone like William would never be able to achieve in his entire life.

Aurora’s understanding of magic had surpassed that of top-level magicians. No one knew the reason why Aurora tried to escape from the pursuit of various powerful parties. Scarlett was the only person who could help Aurora escape from the pursuit of those terrifying angels.

"Sigh. You’re just troublesome. You should at least be a good girl like Diana. You should know that she has also become stronger after having sex with William."

"That... that... I know too! I still don’t even know what method he used to increase the strength of Diana and Anna."

Silence fell between Scarlett and Aurora. What they thought of William was no different from a tool that could increase the strength of every woman who had sex with him. If what Aurora and Scarlett thought was true, they could not possibly imagine what fate would befall William in the future.

Many women out there shared the same thoughts as Aurora and Scarlett. That did not mean the two women would take the initiative to throw themselves into William’s arms. On the contrary, they were not weak women who could give themselves to William at any time.

"Hehe. But that won’t be useful for people like us who have already reached the threshold of this world. Maybe if that little boy managed to reach the same level as us... maybe we could pass through that wall..."

"Sorry. But I won’t believe it. What a shame... I will forever assume that little boy won’t have the chance to become a Heavenly Circle stage expert!"

A small laugh escaped Scarlett’s mouth. Hearing the disbelief in Aurora’s voice regarding William’s talent was enough to make Scarlett unable to hold back her smile. This was Scarlett’s only consolation after staying in this lonely and remote place for so long.

Teasing Aurora and making her angry was enough for Scarlett to satisfy her monthly entertainment. But that did not make Aurora happy at all. There was no way Aurora would admit that William had the strength to stand equal to her and Scarlett. Even if William managed to reach the Formation Circle stage in just one month, Aurora would not acknowledge him as the most talented man in the entire world.

Neither William nor Aurora had any relationship even after their first meeting. Aurora’s sole focus after becoming William’s concubine was to seek greater knowledge of magic that remained beyond her reach. For that reason, Aurora wanted to gain protection from Scarlett while trying to escape from the angels’ pursuit. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Moreover, William’s daily focus was carrying out his duties as a king and gradually pampering Anna and Diana. Even though William had seven other wives to take care of, he did not have time to speak with them because he was always busy.

The first time William met Aurora was when he spoke with Scarlett a few weeks earlier. Therefore, William completely ignored the trivial glance Aurora gave him before.

"Stop... stop first! Why are you ignoring me and only focusing on your own conversation?! I’m still here!"

"Ah... I’m sorry. But little girl, you can go back first. About your young lady, don’t worry. Moreover, our king is not a man who would do indecent things to beautiful women."

There was no option for Marie to take Saintess Aria back from William’s grasp. The strength of the two women before Marie far exceeded her common sense. Even if Marie asked the church for help, they would not have any chance of taking down these two women.

Marie’s previously doubtful expression returned to a calm look. Her head bowed before Scarlett and Aurora. Even though Marie accepted Scarlett’s proposal and wanted to remain there, she would not lower her guard or decide to leave that place.

Sitting in one corner near the outer wall of the castle, Marie decided to wait for Saintess Aria to walk out of the palace. However, Marie’s only duty was to guard Saintess Aria and make sure she did not die.

Seeing Marie’s actions did not make Scarlett care at all. Instead of being angry at Marie’s refusal to listen to her advice, Scarlett decided not to think too much about Marie’s actions or the rejection she gave.
