There was warmth, an ease that settled into her bones without her noticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Aren... that feeling was absent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, he had saved her today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps she was overthinking it. Perhaps suspicion had clouded her judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why, earlier, she hadn’t voiced any of her doubts in front of him. Now, with Yuel asking directly, she laid out her thoughts without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel’s lips curved into a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had known it. His Rory was far too perceptive not to question it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You asked me that for a reason,\" she continued, studying him. \"You think his timing was too perfect too, don’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had felt staged—almost rehearsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But arranging for a Tenth-Rank fighter to appear? If Aren had truly orchestrated it, the cost would have been enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel then told her about the other females who had been attacked earlier that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she listened, Rory’s brows slowly drew together until they nearly formed a tight line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So now you suspect Aren might be behind all of it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel nodded. \"Vincent has already sent people to investigate. We should have answers soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then added calmly, \"If Aren created all this chaos, it might be because he was afraid he arrived too late—afraid you wouldn’t accept him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So he staged a rescue. A calculated act of self-sacrifice. But he also muddied the waters—arranged attacks elsewhere—so we couldn’t easily trace it back to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory’s expression darkened. \"That’s disgusting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was steady, but anger simmered beneath it. \"It wouldn’t matter that he arrived late. I wouldn’t blame him for that. But if he truly caused something like this just to manipulate me...\" She shook her head. \"I would never accept him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The method was cruel. Underhanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And above all, she despised being deceived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll get to the bottom of it soon,\" Yuel assured her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took her hand and pressed a lingering kiss to the back of it, his breath warm against her skin as he murmured near her ear,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory... help me tonight, hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bit his lower lip lightly in response. \"Only once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man truly had no sense of restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel immediately sat up, visibly delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’ll shower first. Which sleepwear would you like tonight? The silver one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer fabric, the subtle cutouts along the waist, the lace tracing the lines of his abdomen—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can wear whichever you like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had seen enough of his wardrobe to know: not a single piece of it could be described as modest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, downstairs, Aris lay stiffly on the firm bed in the plainly furnished room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space was minimal. Clean, but cold. His gaze hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent had done this on purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t blind—those men were clearly united against him, quietly resenting that he had arrived last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were trying to isolate him. They didn’t trust him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine. Then he would kill them. Kill them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who should he start with?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent was too powerful—and far too sharp. Not easy to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel? That one was full of schemes and hidden calculations. Just as troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper? No. That snake had too many tricks up his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix? That fool would be easy enough to handle. No rush there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah... yes. That half-dead wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who had mocked him. The one who told him to go die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would start with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Nix had just stepped out of his room when he froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kneeling outside Yuel’s door was Aren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix rushed over in shock. \"Aren, what are you doing kneeling here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he offended Yuel somehow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aris—still wearing Aren’s face and mannerisms—kept his voice faint and slightly breathless, though a gentle smile curved his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m waiting for the Female Master to wake up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix blinked. \"...Waiting for Rory? Why are you kneeling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aris looked genuinely puzzled. \"Isn’t this what matched partners and spouses are supposed to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his gaze modestly. \"In the Succubus Clan, this is how I was taught—serving and attending to the Female Master first thing in the morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression grew faintly startled. \"Don’t tell me... you don’t usually take care of her this way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix’s eyebrows shot upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well... no. No one had ever told him that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Rory had never asked for anything like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Nix dropped to his knees beside him. \"I didn’t know before,\" he declared seriously. \"I guess I should start doing it now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He absolutely could not let someone who arrived later outdo him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little cat did, after all, have some pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Vincent and Jasper stepped out of their respective rooms—only to stop short at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you two kneeling outside Yuel’s room this early in the morning?\" Vincent asked, brows knitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What new nonsense was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix answered with complete sincerity. \"We’re waiting for Rory to wake up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shifted slightly, even making space beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren said this is how matched partners and spouses serve the Female Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aris added weakly, as if embarrassed, \"In our Succubus Clan, that’s the rule I was raised with. As long as I can take good care of the Female Master, I’m willing to do anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Vincent with quiet humility. \"Of course, if it’s inconvenient for you, you don’t have to. The Female Master never required it of you anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Aris lowered his head and fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sneered inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Prince of the Firebird Clan had grown up with others kneeling before him. How could someone like Vincent ever truly bow to anyone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before his own Female Master, he likely wouldn’t kneel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let Rory see it for herself—Aris and Nix kneeling faithfully at her door, while Vincent stood tall and unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time might not matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But over time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doubt would grow in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once that seed was planted, it would only take patience to make it bloom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper looked at Aren and Nix with wordless exasperation. Aren stirring up trouble was one thing—but Nix actually following along so earnestly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Xarion emerged from his ice crystal coffin downstairs, having caught the tail end of Aris’s insinuating remarks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly made his way upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reached the second-floor landing, he paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent... and Jasper... were now kneeling outside Yuel’s door as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion considered this for a moment, then walked over and simply flopped down beside Vincent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kneeling was exhausting. Lying down should count too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aris hadn’t expected Vincent to actually kneel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His jaw tightened. So the mighty Second Prince could swallow his pride after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of favor, he truly would do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bedroom door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory and Yuel stepped out together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight that greeted them made Rory jump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened? Why are you all kneeling here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Vincent could respond, Nix spoke up eagerly. \"We’re waiting for you to wake up, Rory—so we can serve you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Serve me?\" Rory blinked, utterly confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel, standing at her side, cast a cool glance at Aris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to ask. This had Aren’s fingerprints all over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix nodded. \"Aren said that as matched partners and spouses, we should kneel outside your door every morning and attend to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked apologetic. \"Rory, I’m sorry. I didn’t know this was the proper rule before. But now that I do, I’ll make sure to follow it properly from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough.\" Rory felt a headache coming on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached down and pulled Nix to his feet, then tugged Vincent and Jasper up as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xarion, she lightly nudged him with her foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get up. There’s no such rule here,\" she said firmly. \"In this house, no one kneels. In the mornings, do whatever you normally do. If I need something, I’ll call you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turned to Aren, who had just been helped up by Nix. \"Aren, please don’t kneel either. I don’t like it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aris immediately lowered his gaze, contrite and soft-spoken. \"Female Master, I understand. I’m truly sorry—I didn’t know you disliked it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added, almost innocently, \"I thought Vincent and the others, having been by your side longer, would understand your preferences and rules better than I do. I never expected them to follow me in kneeling when they knew it was wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1436,"2026-06-05T18:17:47.496Z",1,"novelbin.me","1083fe31a5aedd5a76a3d04fcb5bd04ed9a8e456faf29847e081d019aa042fcf","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-152","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-300",315,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finterstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-cover.jpg"]
