The supporting character's harem is very normal

Chapter 278 Soul Balance

Lathel felt that his thing was being surrounded by Akna, and all of her gentleness and softness were being transferred to him.

Then… endless waves of lewd and stimulating sounds rang out.

The scent of their hormones mixed together filled the room.

Lathel felt pleasure for the first time while doing this. Unlike when he slept with his wife, who was a lifeless doll with disdain in her eyes.

At this moment, Akna was like a fire, burning deep into his mind.

“Young master… more… um… more… uh… don’t pity me…”

Akna’s words rang out, and she gasped as she spoke, accompanied by a lustful moan that made Lathel completely lose her reason.

He could no longer restrain himself, as his physical strength was now reaching its limit. His thing seemed to want to explore all of Akna’s internal positions, making her moan until she was hoarse.

Their skin constantly rubbed against each other, and their sweat and saliva mixed together.

Lathel felt as if he himself were ascending to heaven. At this moment, he realised how wonderful sex was.

At this time, he also realised that… without love, sex is just a normal type of physical satisfaction that is unable to reach such a wonderful state.

He completely shook off the resentment of more than 15 years of living with his wife as he filled Akna with all his love.

No, Akna could not contain all his ‘love’, so it overflowed outside. But that was not enough; Lathel wanted more, and Akna also cooperated with him by offering all her gentleness and softness to him.

Outside, the three moons were no longer full, as they were all crescent moons. However, those three moons were all obscured by clouds, as if they were embarrassed by what was going on inside Lathel’s room.

…

At the same time, in another room, Iritellis knelt on the ground, surrounded by four maids, who were each pointing daggers at her.

Iritellis frowned; she didn’t pay attention to the four maids but only looked towards the woman sitting in front of her.

It was an extremely fat woman who looked like a pig. The woman was so fat that her flesh trembled with each breath she took.

Iritellis immediately felt sick when she saw the woman, but she knew that woman was the person with the greatest power here.

“This is our first meeting; you can call me Ryne.”

Hearing that, Iritellis nodded and said: “I am Iritellis; are you… the owner of this place?”

“That’s right.” As soon as Ryne finished speaking, a maid walked up to her and handed her a small scroll.

Ryne opened the scroll to see, and Iritellis also remained silent. The atmosphere was so heavy that it made Iritellis suffocate.

A moment later, Ryne handed the scroll to the maid. The maid received the scroll and began to read.

“Iritellis, race: Dark-Elf, talents: dark magic, seduction magic, Eyes of Lust, balanced with natural elements.”

“She first appeared 170 years ago in the Kingdom of Edos. After that, she was chased by the elves, and she hid everywhere.”

“The last time she was captured was a month ago by the Black Wolf Guild. However, almost the entire guild was killed, leaving only five survivors.”

“Then… she was bought by Young Master Lathel for 130 million gold coins. However, when returning, a female elf named Venfina chased after her, and he was seriously injured.

“Fortunately, at that time, Young Master was saved by Captain Laura, so he escaped death.”

Hearing that, Ryne frowned and looked towards Iritellis with eyes filled with murderous intent. The red hair on her back was like a flame; even though there was no wind, it was still flying in the air.

“Tell me, Iritellis, how should I punish you?”

Iritellis was startled when she heard Ryne’s voice. That voice was full of murderous intent and coldness. Iritellis could even feel a spark in her chest that was ready to burn her to ashes.

Iritellis felt pain and clutched her chest, however, she remained unafraid.

She raised her head, looked straight into Ryne’s eyes, and spoke: “I agree that I pose a danger to him. But… I… I like him; my fate and his have been linked together, we will never be separated.”

“From now on, I swear to protect him with all my life. If he dies, I will die with him, I can also die for him to live.”

Hearing that, Ryne frowned, and her voice rang out again: “Your eyes… that curse makes me feel a little interested. However, that is not reason enough for me to completely trust you.”

“Iritellis, you said you would trade your life for him to live, right?” 𝘪𝑎.

“That’s right!” Iritellis said firmly.

Ryne didn’t continue; she took out a cross-shaped scale from her space bag, with a small trough on each side.

“This is ‘Soul Balance’, I can tell if you are lying or telling the truth.”

“Of course, with this ‘Soul Balance’, even if you lie so truthfully that you even deceive yourself, your soul does not know how to lie.”

“I will put Lathel’s life and your life on the ‘Soul Balance’. If you tell the truth, Lathel’s life will be heavier, and I will believe and let you stay by his side.”

“If it were the other way around, I… would kill you.”

“However, if you leave now, I will give you a few gold coins, and let you leave safely.”

“Iritellis, which option will you choose?”

When Iritellis heard Ryne speak, her eyes opened wide, and she looked towards the ‘Soul Balance’ floating on Ryne’s palm.

She gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with determination, and said: “I want to use that thing.”

“Are you sure?” Ryne frowned, while looking straight into Iritellis’ eyes: “You should know that… if you fail, I will kill you.”

As soon as Ryne finished speaking, a maid held a dagger and placed it against Iritellis’ neck.

The dagger’s blade slashed Iritellis’s neck a bit, blood flowed from the cut, rolled on her honey-coloured skin and fell on two large mountains.

However, Iritellis remained steadfast in her words: “I will not change my words.”

“You should know…” Ryne said: “You can deceive yourself, but your soul cannot lie.”

“It’s very possible that the curse is something you just imagined.”

“No!” Iritellis said: “Even if the curse did not exist, I would still like him.”

Suddenly, Iritellis’s tears flowed out like two small streams: “For 200 years, I’ve been hiding like a mouse. No one cares whether I live or die.”

“The eyes of the men out there looking at me only carry lust.”

“The eyes of those men made me feel nauseous. What they want to see is just lust, but Lathel is different, he dares to risk his life to protect me, and I will also risk my life to protect him.”

“Even though I’m not strong and I don’t have as much power as you, but… at least if he dies, I will die with him.”

Ryne frowned, feeling extremely confused. How could a girl who had just met Lathel be so loyal to him?

If it was because of the curse from the ‘Eyes of Lust’, then Ryne felt this was extremely dangerous.

Ryne knew that there were many spies who snuck into the political and royal apparatus. However, no one discovered them because they themselves did not know that they were spies.

It was a kind of hypnosis, so the spies themselves thought they were normal people.

When necessary, the people behind the scenes dispel the effects of the hypnosis magic, so that the spies remember the mission they need to perform.

Because of that, Ryne thought that Iritellis wasn’t lying; she felt that … Iritellis had hypnotised herself, so she believed in the so-

called Curse of ‘Eyes of Lust’.

If one day Iritellis suddenly realises that the curse is just a lie, then… Lathel will be in danger.

Ryne doesn’t want to let someone she can’t control stay by Lathel’s side.

“Very good! Then… I will begin to weigh your soul.” Ryne said as she stretched out her hand.

Her finger pointed in the air, forming countless concentric circular waves that spread around.

Iritellis suddenly had a very magical feeling, as if she were flying.

From the middle of her forehead, a stream of white smoke flew out and then flew onto the scale. On the other side, Ryne placed a small glass ball the size of a thumb; inside, there was a drop of blood.

“On this side is your soul; on the other side is a drop of Lathel’s blood, representing his soul.” Ryne explained.

“As long as Lathel’s soul is heavier than yours, it means that you don’t love him at all, and you are only deceiving yourself.”

“If your soul is heavier than his soul, it means that you love him but not to the point of sacrificing and dying for him.”

“Only when the scales are balanced will what you say be true.”

After Ryne finished speaking, she let go of the smoke, and immediately, the balance began to tilt.

At first, it leaned towards Lathel, then it leaned towards Iritellis’ soul. The balance tilted to both sides continuously, and then it slowly entered a state of balance.

Iritellis stared at the ‘Soul Balance’, her eyes showed no fear; on the contrary, those eyes were filled with determination, as if she completely believed in what she was thinking.

Ryne frowned. She looked at Iritellis, then looked back at the ‘Soul Balance’ that was slowly balancing.

In her heart, Ryne secretly thought that if the balance was a little off, even if it was off by just a hair, she would immediately kill Iritellis.

However, Ryne was disappointed to see that the scales were completely balanced. Even the special symbol in the middle of the balance radiated a dazzling aura.

Seeing this, Iritellis asked: “What does that mean?”

Ryne looked at the ‘Soul Balance’, remained silent for a moment, then said: “That means… your fate and Lathel’s are completely connected.”
