I Became a Level -99 Vicious Lord

Chapter 164:

Camille’s painstaking efforts were ultimately unsuccessful.

Camille did his best for Otto, leading Elise to a secluded place and bombarding her with a barrage of nonsense.

But at best, he could only buy twenty minutes of time.

“So where is my fiancé now?”

“His Highness is currently sleeping in his quarters.”

“Sir Camille.”

“Yes?”

“I applaud your efforts to protect my fiancé.”

“……!”

“Ah, Lady Elise.”

“I need to meet my fiancé.”

In the end, Camille failed to hold off Elise.

A mere five minutes.

Maybe a minute or two longer, and Otto would have been able to safely escape out of the harem….

Instead, Otto was forced to follow Elise like a cow being led to the slaughter.

Following Elise along the path.

‘What were you doing… why didn’t you stop her?’

Otto accused Camille with a glare.

‘Do something.’

‘I did everything I could, you know?’

‘Okay, what’s the use of blaming now? I’m already dead, so thanks for everything.’

Otto stopped communicating with Camille with his eyes and dropped his head.

Otto and Camille were taken to an eerie place.

“Sir Camille.”

Elise called out to Camille.

“Yes, Lady Elise.”

“Sir Camille, leave.”

There was no doubt that the implication behind the words was “if you don’t want to be fucked”.

“…Thank you.”

Camille bowed to Elise, then turned to walk away.

‘I did everything I could.’

No matter how much Camille was Otto’s knight, this was a matter between a man and a woman.

There was no more room, and no justification, to intervene.

‘….Like her, you should move on.’

He tried his best, even to the point of unintentionally bringing up painful memories.

‘She won’t actually kill you.’

Camille whispered in Otto’s ear as he walked away.

“Please clean things up quickly before it’s too late.”

“Do you think I can survive with that?”

“We can’t give up without even trying, can we?”

“Well, that’s true, but.”

“Please survive. That’s all I have to say.”

And with that, Camille walked away.

Of course, he wasn’t completely gone.

He hadn’t completely left, of course, but he hadn’t gone far enough away to intervene if there was any sign of bloodshed.

Not that it would stop Elise.

And so Camille left.

*Shudder*

Left alone and without backup, Otto shuddered, like a rabbit before a tiger.

“Fiancé.”

“Yes….”

“Did you have a good time in the Harem?”

*Shudder*

Left alone and without backup, Otto shuddered, like a rabbit before a tiger.

“Fiancé.”

“Yes….”

“Did you have a good time in the Harem?”

“N…. Nooo!”

Otto denied it fiercely.

And he really meant it.

In fact, if Abdul II hadn’t invited him, as per the Custom of Hospitality, he wouldn’t have gone to the Harem at all.

“Absolutely not! I would never have been distracted!”

“Is that so?”

“Please believe me!”

Otto begged, taking Camille’s counsel.

Though I didn’t kneel down to that extent, it wasn’t because Otto was an audacious person.

‘I feel so wronged! It’s unfair!’

Otto had his ‘reasons’.

He just prayed that Elise wouldn’t ‘misunderstand’ him.

*Heh*

Elise gently raised one hand.

*Flinch!!!*

Otto squeezed his eyes shut in fear, thinking a fist was coming.

But Elise merely swept a strand of hair behind her ear, and she was not going to throw a punch.

“Fiancé.”

“Yes.”

“Tell me honestly. Is it hard for you to endure?”

“What?”

“I’ve heard that men have a hard time holding back their sex drive.”

“N-No, absolutely not! That’s not true at all”

Otto denied it vehemently, and it was true.

Why?

Because it hadn’t crossed his mind since he’d arrived in this world, trying to survive.

Moreover, this time even Otto had a clear ‘justification’.”

“Do you want someone else other than me?”

“That’s definitely not it either.”

“If that’s not the case, then why did you go there? Am I not enough?”

“I swear, not even that.”

“Then what is it.”

“Could you at least please listen to me this once?”

“Okay.”

Elise gave Otto a chance, without pulling her sword.

‘This is my final defense.’

Otto knew this was his last chance, so he defended himself with all his might.

“And that’s how it happened….”

Camille watched Otto and Elise from a distance, fidgeting, and then his eyes widened when something unexpected happened.

‘What?’

Otto and Elise suddenly clasped hands and started walking together.

From a distance, the atmosphere seemed jovial, indicating that the likelihood of bloodshed was entirely absent.

‘Why?’

Camille was bewildered, unable to understand what was happening.

‘At the very least, I thought he was going to get beaten up.’

Even if Otto hadn’t done anything outrageous, it was still clear that he was surrounded by dozens of dancers.

Strictly speaking, entering the harem while being engaged was already a mistake.

Of course, according to Otto’s words, the Harem was a place of recreation, not entertainment, and Camille felt the same way.

‘Was Elise’s benevolence this great, that even jealousy didn’t cross her mind?’

Camille recalled his conversation with Elise earlier.

‘I have something to tell you.’

‘I would like to talk to you about His Highness. What he likes, how he usually spends his time. I thought it would be helpful for you to know.’

‘If that’s the case, it’s fine.’

‘His Highness enjoys sweet foods. He especially enjoys roasted sweet potatoes with honey.’

‘I will remember that.’

‘And His Highness is always living a very ascetic life. He is always serious about his training.’

‘Good.’

‘Also, His Highness is….

Camille sold information about Otto to Elise in order to save his life.

And Elise seemed to carefully listen to what Camille told her.

That was proof that Elise was actually quite interested in Otto.

And yet, she never lost her temper, which made Camille, who was observing, puzzled.

‘Since nothing happened, is it just a warning this time? Maybe it’s possible. Phew.’

Camille thought, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just being able to avoid seeing Otto’s head rolling off thanks to Elise’s sword was satisfying enough, but seeing such a harmonious scene made me feel relieved.

‘I guess I can leave him be.’

Camille decided he’d hear about it tomorrow, and turned to head back to his quarters.

*Throb!*

His heart suddenly ached.

“…I haven’t gotten over it yet.”

A bitter muttering escaped Camille’s lips.

“I don’t think I’ll ever get over it.”

Like an afterthought, the conversation with Elise left a lasting impression on Camille.

‘If only I could see her from a distance.’

The thought suddenly crossed his mind, but he knew he shouldn’t say it.

Why?

Because she was now another man’s wife.

Moreover, Camille was certain she would never be happy.

She would be unhappy, and he was willing to see her so.

Even if it was from a distance.

30 minutes ago.

“Kekeke! Pansy! What a waste! Kekeke!”

Kairos mocked Otto as he was being dragged away by Elise.

“I hope you survive! Kahahaha! A man who can’t even move a finger against his fiancée! You’re also going to be a eunuch! Hahaha!”

Kairos mocked Otto to no end, complaining that he had once been bitten by a flower snake and had his life ruined.

In truth, he himself had led a stoic life that was far from debauchery, except for his heavy drinking.

“Keuuu! The liquor tastes good! mm!”

Kairos continued to drink, feeling better than he had in a long time.

He didn’t even bother to use mana to expel the alcoholic effects, not wanting to waste the intoxication.

“Argonne, you bastard, I’m in the Harem where you’ve never been! Are you jealous, Hahahha!”

And just like that, Kairos was surrounded by dozens of dancers, having a good time.

But only for a moment.

“…Hmph.”

Kairos suddenly grew sullen.

“What is the matter, senior?”

“Guic, Gwik Guii!”

Qasim, who had been beside him, playing a drinking game together, asked Kairos.

“Is something wrong?”

“What’s the matter!”

Kairos bellowed, seemingly unperturbed.

“I’m in a great mood today! What could possibly be wrong!”

“You don’t look well.”

“What’s wrong with my face! Shut up! Drink! Drink!”

… but in truth, Kairos was sullen.

‘Tsk. I can’t get over you, you venomous bitch. Why do you keep tormenting my mind?’

Though he claimed to have gotten over it, Kairos was still bitter about the end of Beatrice.

The woman he’d loved all his life was actually a flower snake, and she’d come back to life to commit evil again.

It was a great psychological pain that Kairos, a staunch purist, could not easily shake off.

Although he did manage to thoroughly destroy Beatrice.

‘Why is my life so miserable, Why, no! No, No, This is not what I deserve! I must have more fun! More fun!’

The thought made Kairos chuckle harder, talk louder, and consume more alcohol.

Then.

“I’m going to go to the restroom.”

Kairos suddenly felt the need to relieve himself and went to the restroom.

The harem restrooms were immaculate, with rows and rows of pure white porcelain urinals.

Also, there were no women’s restrooms, only men’s.

It didn’t even register with Kairos, who was almost completely drunk.

*Slooooosh!*

Standing there, relieving himself.

“Hmm?”

Kairos stiffened at the bizarre sight.

“W-Why are you here, this is the men’s restroom?”

The dancer Kairos had been drinking with earlier was peeing in the urinal right next to him.

By the way.

“Huh?”

Something was wrong.

‘Wh-Why is there a dick in there?!’

When he glanced over, he saw an ugly “thing” hanging from her lower body.

*SPLAAASSH!!*

Something huge.

*Shake* *Shake*

That ‘something’ that is shaking.

*Shoot!*

Even the pissing thing was more powerful than Kairos.

‘What did I just see? Am I really that drunk?

Kairos panicked and expelled all the alcohol in his system.

The first thing he needed to do was sober up.

*Whoosh!*

The alcoholic essence gushed out of Kairos’ body like a mist sprayer.

“What the…?”

Only when he sobered up did he see the restroom in detail.

He looked around and saw that the restroom was full of dancers.

They were looking in the mirror, retouching their makeup, and talking amongst themselves, but they all had one thing in common.

*Shoot!*

The dancers were using the urinals, and they all had something hanging from their lower body.

‘If I look closely, they’re all tall, with big hands and feet, and very small breasts… Huuk!’

That means……

“Holy shit, they’re all cross-dressers!”

Kairos suddenly realized the ‘truth’ of the Harem.
