Her posture was rigid, territorial — like a wolf marking its territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuki walked on his left, moving with such absolute silence she seemed more like a ghost than a person, her feet barely touching the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And between the two of them, a tension so thick Mark could feel it as a physical weight on his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like walking between two storms on the verge of colliding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This was a mistake,’ Mark thought. ’Definitely a mistake. What the hell was I thinking?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master,\" Ely said at last, breaking the silence, \"why does she have to walk so close to you? There is plenty of room on this road.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ely, please. Don’t start.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m just pointing out that there’s plenty of space. She doesn’t need to walk practically glued to your side as if she were some kind of shadow... That is my role.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re also walking practically glued to my side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is completely different! I was first, and she is nothing but a... newcomer. An intruder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had modified Ely to be madly in love with him... but he hadn’t stopped to consider that it also meant madly jealous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like an all-powerful, psychotic girlfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Great... just great.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuki,\" Mark said aloud. \"Can you move ahead and scout the road? Make sure there are no ambushes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assassin looked at him with those black, unreadable eyes, and for a brief moment Mark thought he caught a flicker of something...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disappointment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadness?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard to tell with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you command, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then she was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One moment she was there, solid and present; the next, she had vanished as if she had never existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even footprints remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Master,\" Ely said, sounding relieved. \"Now we can talk in private.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ely, there’s something I need to talk to you about... something important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master? You can tell me anything. I will always be here to listen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can’t be jealous of Yuki. She’s a tool, just like...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark stopped, realizing what he was about to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just like me, Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silence that followed was deafening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark could hear the pain in Ely’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain that he himself had carelessly caused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t mean it like that. Ely, I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it’s true, isn’t it?\" she said quietly. \"We are tools. Weapons. Servants you created to serve you. Not people. Not companions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ely...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not angry, Master. Truly. I just... want to understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ely was quiet for a moment before continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What am I to you? A tool? A companion? Something more? I need to know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s... complicated. Our situation is complicated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is not an answer, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know. But it’s the best I can give you right now... I’m sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ely didn’t respond right away, but Mark could feel her heaviness hanging in the air between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tangled mix of emotions he couldn’t fully untangle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of it blended into a cocktail that was probably unhealthy for both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They reached the gates of Thornhaven at dusk, just as the sun sank below the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuki reappeared at his side as if she had never left, silently reporting that the way was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Yuki,\" Mark said, forcing his voice to sound normal. \"I need both of you to hide now. I can’t walk into the city with the two of you at my side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ely nodded and melted into his shadow without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuki did what she always did: vanished instantly — though now Mark understood it was an invisibility skill she possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Great... now I have two jealous undead women following me around.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark passed through the gates without trouble and headed to the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed rest, time to think, and probably something very, very strong to drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inn was fuller than the night before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adventurers packed the tables, drinking, laughing, and telling exaggerated stories with wild gestures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noise grated on Mark’s nerves, but he decided to ignore it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat down in a corner, away from curious eyes, and ordered a jug of the strongest ale they had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark’s situation was a mess. He had two high-level undead under his control, but one was openly jealous and the other was silently devoted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were absurdly powerful, completely loyal to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of feeling safe, Mark felt like he was standing in front of a bomb that could go off at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master,\" Ely said suddenly, her voice urgent. \"Someone is watching you... and has been for several minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark tensed, but resisted the urge to look around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where?\" he asked mentally, alarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Table near the bar. Young woman. Blonde hair. White robe... probably a healer. She has been watching you since you walked in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark took a sip of his ale, using the movement to glance discreetly in the indicated direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spotted her immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood out among the dirty, rowdy adventurers like a flower in the middle of a weed-choked field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blonde hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large eyes with heterochromia — one blue, the other red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A delicate face wearing an expression that was... concern? Curiosity? Interest?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she was looking directly at him, without even trying to hide it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Damn. Does she recognize me? Does she know something about me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman stood and began walking toward him with purposeful steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Damn, damn, damn. This can’t be good.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master,\" Ely said, genuinely alarmed, \"would you like me to intervene? I can take care of her before she reaches you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No! Wait. Let me handle this.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The healer stopped in front of his table, biting her lower lip with obvious nervousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up close she was even prettier... and younger than Mark had thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early twenties, maybe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"E-excuse me,\" she said in a soft, almost timid voice, trembling slightly as if she were just as nervous as he was. \"Are you... the adventurer who saved a young girl in the forest a few days ago? The one who scared off the bandits?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark blinked, genuinely caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... yeah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman’s face lit up instantly with a brilliant smile... then she flushed when she realized she had raised her voice and drawn attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew it!\" she exclaimed, quickly lowering her tone. \"I-I mean... that girl is my little sister. She told me everything you did for her. How you saved her from those horrible men. How you scared them off with your magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark didn’t know what to say — he wasn’t used to being sought out for positive reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was nothing, really... anyone would have done the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t say that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The healer sat down across from him without asking permission, her eyes shining with a gratitude so intense it was almost uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My sister is everything I have in this world. Our parents died when we were children. If anything had happened to her...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shuddered visibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t even want to think about it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... I’m glad I could help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Aria,\" she said, extending her hand. \"Aria Lightwood. I’m a guild healer. Rank S.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mark,\" he replied, shaking her warm hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contrast was stark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So different from the cold touch of Ely and Yuki that it almost made him flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mark,\" Aria repeated, as if carefully filing the name away in her memory. \"It’s a pleasure to finally meet you. I’ve wanted to thank you in person ever since my sister told me what happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really isn’t necessary...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It absolutely is!\" she insisted, her determination clashing adorably with her delicate appearance. \"Please, let me buy you a drink. Or a meal. Or... whatever you’d like, really. It’s the least I can do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master,\" Ely said with dangerous coldness. \"Why are you letting her touch you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark discreetly pulled his hand back, now very aware of Yuki’s invisible gaze on him as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She’s just a grateful healer. Relax. She’s not a threat.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t like the way she’s looking at you. Not one bit,\" Ely replied, making no effort to hide her jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ely. Please. Behave.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A drink sounds good,\" Mark said aloud, ignoring the tension radiating from his own shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aria smiled again, and Mark had to admit it was a genuinely charming smile — one that didn’t seem to hide any ulterior motive.\u003C\u002Fp>",1414,"2026-06-02T12:17:11.678Z",1,"novelbin.me","fdb985b9edbed505a8d5533bba97cd0a8346d1ce68d93569d362394552dbde23","my-harem-of-dangerous-and-crazy-women-as-a-reinc-chapter-14","my-harem-of-dangerous-and-crazy-women-as-a-reinc-chapter-12",190,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-harem-of-dangerous-and-crazy-women-as-a-reinc-cover.jpg"]
