Aria frowned her face and tried to push her aside, but Victoria stopped her and said, “She is as happy as we are.”
”Oh, come on. Since when did you become so reasonable and kind?”
”Why do you think Aurora is his favorite?” Victoria asked Aria in a low voice.
”Uhh… because they have spent more time together than any of us?” Aria wondered.
”No. I am the one who has spent the most time with him.”
”Then why…?”
”Aurora was with him when he needed someone. She is the one who changed him.” She pointed her gaze at Ninia and said, “And she is different from us. I am sure she wouldn’t have stopped Ninia if she was here right now.”
Aria raised her brow and asked, “So are you saying that she is his favorite because she gives him the freedom to do whatever he wants?”
”Not exactly, but yeah. If he kept nagging him, he would obviously feel annoyed. I get it that you don’t like it, but that’s not a reason to act like that. Everyone deserves to love him and spend time with him.”
She shrugged her shoulders and continued, “That was the first thing I learned when I agreed to join his harem. Did you also spend time with him yesterday? I could have nagged him if I wanted to, but I didn’t. So you should treat everyone like how you want to be treated by them.”
”….” Aria stared at Victoria with a confused look on her face and said, “I am well aware of all that. Why did you make such a simple thing so complicated?”
”Huh? Weren’t you getting jealous of Ninia…?”
”Yeah. Because she is not a part of his harem nor his lovers. And look at his current condition.” Aria pointed her gaze at Ninia and said, “He might be in pain, and she is basically crushing him under her voluptuous body.”
”Oh…”
Victoria pulled Ninia back by her veil and said, “That’s enough. Let’s examine his body now.”
”Don’t tell me you are going to strip me naked,” Zach commented. “I wouldn’t mind it, but you will have to help me—”
”We are not.” Victoria held Zach’s hand in her hands and asked with a concerned look on her face: “How do you feel?”
”You should have asked while placing my hand on your boobs. I can’t really feel your hands,” Zach responded with a soft scoff.
”If he is passing jokes like this, then he is probably alright,” Aria stated.
”Yeah, I am alright.”
”But… how is that possible?” Aria asked with a confused look on her face. “You mentioned that using Phoenix’s blessings got your body numb. And Cerberus told us how you used the Demon King’s blessing and lost control.
It should technically have a worse effect on you compared to— oh!” Aria shook her head and hands while saying, “I don’t mean that I want that to happen. I am just—”
”Yeah. I get what you are trying to say, but I am perfectly fine. Maybe not all the blessings have side effects? And… My mother is a demon, so I am technically a demon too. Perhaps that’s the reason?”
”That’s possible,” Aria nodded.
”Umm…” Victoria felt left out as Zach only talked with Ninia and Aria.
Zach smiled at her and said, “Don’t worry. I am fine.”
”My Lord, should I cancel the summit?” Ninia asked.
”Oh, no. It’s my first summit, and I don’t want to make any bad impression. Who knows how many of them would return to the next summit if we cancel this one.”
”That’s true.” Ninia turned to Aria and Victoria and said, “Shall we go and confirm everything is alright?”
”Yeah.”
They left the room, but Zach grabbed Victoria’s hand and stopped her.
”You stay here. I want to talk to you about something.”
”Okay…”
Ninia and Aria left the room, but they also left the door open.
”Can you close the door?” he calmly said to Victoria.
Victoria nodded and rushed to the door to close it.
”So… is there something you need…?”
”I… have to confess something…” he said while averting his gaze.
”Okay? What is it?”
”I know what I am going to say will prove that I am an s-class asshole, and I won’t’ blame you for getting angry…”
Victoria hugged Zach and said, “Say it. I don’t think there is anything that could make me angry now. I have accepted everything.”
”When we were dating…” After a brief pause, he continued, “I… cheated on you.”
”…”
”It wasn’t exactly cheating, but I don’t want to make excuses.”
Victoria let go of Zach and asked, “With who?”
”It’s Siesta…”
”That’s… Shay’s sister?”
Zach nodded and said, “Yes. But I swear it wasn’t a serious relationship.”
”Heh…” Victoria scoffed bitterly and muttered, “Just when I thought you would never disappoint me, you did just that.”
”I know what you are thinking, but I want you to listen to me carefully.”
”Let me ask the correct questions.” Victoria frowned her face and asked, “Did you sleep with her?”
”What… no. Of course not. As I already said, it wasn’t a serious relationship.”
”When did you start cheating on me, and for how long?”
”That was actually before we started dating…”
”Doesn’t that mean you cheated on her and not me?”
Zach shook his head and uttered, “I… I killed that teacher.”
”Wha…t?” Victoria managed to stutter with a pale face.
”The teacher who framed you… and me…” Zach lowered his gaze and continued, “That night, I went to Shay’s house. Siesta was there, too, obviously. I asked Shay if he could do something and get me the address of the person spreading the edited porno.
After finding his exact location, I flew there using my power. And… I killed him on the spot. It was all in rage. I didn’t mean to kill him, but I had no remorse. That wasn’t my first kill, after all.”
