I think I’ll get going,\" he said, heading toward the door. \"Take all the time you need, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t respond with words, only let out a soft moan of agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then he left the bathroom, leaving Emilia inside to finish showering more calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark closed the bathroom door behind him and stood in the room for a moment, listening to the sound of water falling on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While in his mind he could only think of one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emilia’s behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Emilia who had been crying on her knees on the floor last night and the Emilia this morning didn’t seem like the same person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Honestly, I wasn’t expecting such a change in attitude,’ Mark thought as he ran a hand through his wet hair. ’Could she have gone insane?... or maybe that was always her true personality.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark didn’t have an answer for that, so he ended up pushing the thought from his mind and decided not to dwell on it further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked around searching for something to dry himself with and saw that on the bed lay a white towel perfectly folded that apparently Emilia had left there before entering the bathroom with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark took the towel and began to dry off calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was barely finishing running it through his hair when the bedroom door suddenly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zilu’s voice came from the entrance, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark turned his head toward her just as Zilu looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then she saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in the middle of the room, completely naked, with the towel still hanging from one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zilu’s ears shot straight up and her face turned completely red in less than a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"—!\" she spun around so fast her ears shook from the momentum and she was left staring at the wall with her fists clenched at her sides. \"I-I’m so sorry, Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark let out a short laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t have to be embarrassed,\" he said, resuming the task of drying off with complete ease. \"It’s not like you haven’t seen me naked before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-that has nothing to do with it!\" Zilu protested, still staring at the wall with her ears trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ve literally already done it, Zilu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"THAT’S NOT THE POINT, MASTER!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark chuckled while finishing drying off and beginning to dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright,\" he said. \"What did you come for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zilu, still facing away with her ears flattened against her head and her cheeks burning, spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-the others want to meet with you in the throne room,\" she said, her voice still trembling. \"It seems to be important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did they say what for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not exactly, but Miss Rose mentioned something about the results of last night’s meeting with the queen’s subordinates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They also requested Miss Emilia...\" Zilu continued, glancing around the room. \"But no one can find her anywhere since last night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark tensed for a brief moment, but quickly composed himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...She’s probably distracting herself somewhere in the castle,\" he said calmly. \"After all, things have been... very hard for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zilu turned her head slightly without fully looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re probably right...\" she said, not very convincingly. \"Anyway, if you see her, tell her to please head to the throne room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll make sure to tell her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, with your permission, Master...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zilu began walking toward the exit, but just before crossing the door she cast one last glance at the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that’s when she noticed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the bed lay a black piece of women’s clothing, torn and clearly out of place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that all the pieces fell into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slight nervousness in her master when mentioning the queen. The faint scent of another woman still lingering in the air, too fresh to be residual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon understanding what had really happened there, Zilu’s face flushed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I’m leaving!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl practically fled the room, closing the door at full speed behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark stood observing the door somewhat confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, behind him, he heard the bathroom door slowly opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is she gone?\" asked Emilia, peeking her head out with wet hair dripping over her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah...\" Mark replied, finishing buttoning his pants. \"And you should hurry. The others are looking for us in the throne room and it seems to be something important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emilia nodded and went to the enormous wardrobe to search for something to wear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short while later, both were already dressing quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark put his usual tunic back on, while Emilia changed into a clean dress she pulled from the wardrobe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they finished, they left the room and began walking down the palace hallways toward the throne room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they hadn’t gone even twenty steps before the stares began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every servant they passed stopped and observed them without any attempt to hide it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emilia was completely clinging to Mark’s arm, holding it with both hands as she walked beside him with an enormous smile on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that, for anyone who worked in the palace, was a scene impossible to ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this was the same queen who barely left her room, the same one who never smiled in public and always seemed to have a sad or vacant expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two servants carrying trays of food froze upon seeing them pass, and one of them even nearly dropped her tray from the shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark glanced at them out of the corner of his eye before turning toward Emilia, who was still clinging to his arm with no intention of letting go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing?\" he asked in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just playing the part,\" she replied with complete ease, not erasing the smile from her face. \"We need to look like a happy newlywed couple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark observed her for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It doesn’t seem like you’re acting at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made Emilia let out a little laugh before leaning her head slightly on his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who knows...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark decided not to keep insisting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two continued walking down the palace hallways, leaving behind a trail of bewildered servants and rumors that were probably already spreading throughout the castle before the morning was out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although, for once, they weren’t bad rumors... or so they wanted to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally they reached the end of a long hallway that ended in enormous double doors that Mark hadn’t seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The throne room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark stopped in front of them and Emilia finally released his arm to position herself at his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here we go...\" he said before placing both hands on the doors and pushing them inward.\u003C\u002Fp>",1108,"2026-06-02T12:17:11.958Z",1,"novelbin.me","7a1d6c8b20c3e782fe6be1f03da27970a865d7858c9c717bc7c8c823c1fbc71c","my-harem-of-dangerous-and-crazy-women-as-a-reinc-chapter-190","my-harem-of-dangerous-and-crazy-women-as-a-reinc-chapter-188",190,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-harem-of-dangerous-and-crazy-women-as-a-reinc-cover.jpg"]
