However, because of that, he had to endure the blatant whispers, and his face naturally turned red. Especially since this accompanying priest embodied the typical character of a priest as perceived by the world, the situation was even more embarrassing.

‘Chancellor… I thought about it when you were dealing at the casino, but why always in this way….’

“We’re here.”

Meanwhile, the head servant stopped in front of a new harem room that had been hastily prepared in a day and smiled.

“I hope only good things happen here from now on, Zaicin.”

The chancellor nodded and entered the room.

“Not bad.”

The room was clean and bright, given it had been prepared in just a day. There were only the most basic pieces of furniture, but each one was expensive and made of shimmering materials, so it didn’t feel empty.

It looked even brighter since Latil, keeping in mind that he was the chancellor, had ordered it to be decorated entirely in white as a halfjoke.

As soon as the head servant retreated, the accompanying priest quickly followed him inside, carrying two suitcases, grumbling.

“I’m too scared, Chancellor. The casino was scary, but now the harem? Is this okay?”

“To avoid enemies, you need to hide in a big shadow. Her embrace is wide and dark. Plus, she’s the most powerful person in the world, she’ll protect me well.”

“But still, a harem is….”

“There’s no choice if unknown enemies are after me.”

The accompanying priest wanted to say that still, the harem seemed a bit much, but the door suddenly opened wide. The accompanying priest quickly sat down, opened a suitcase, and pretended to organize things.

“Oh my. I’m sorry, Zaicin.”

The person who came in was the emperor’s head servant who had guided him earlier.

“It’s okay.”

When the chancellor replied with a generous smile, the head servant thought, ‘He’s more serious than I thought. His dance was wild.’ and informed him.

“Her Majesty said she will visit you tonight, Zaicin.”

At those words, the accompanying priest gripped the clothes he was arranging and bulged his eyes. Tonight?

And as soon as the head servant left, the accompanying priest, scared, asked the chancellor.

“Ch, chancellor, you’re not really going to, night, night, do that, are you?”

‘I said I’d hide in the harem, but I wouldn’t really do a concubine’s job.’

That night, Latil went to the room assigned to the chancellor, thinking he had perfectly understood her words.

She held a small book in her hand, which was actually a decoy. Inside it was a note with several issues to discuss with the chancellor.

Could people suddenly acquire strange abilities, did the chancellor have any reliable informants he could secretly utilize, was necromancy a type of black magic, and so on she had many questions.

But the moment she entered the bedroom through two doors.

“Aah!”

Latil was startled and dropped the book she was holding. The book rolled on the floor with a thud, and the note inside scattered, but Latil couldn’t even pay attention to it.

The Prime Minister lay bare on the bed, waiting for Latil on his side.

“What, wwhere are your clothes?!”

“Please come in, Your Majesty. I am ready to fall into temptation.”

“!”
