Chapter 49: Two Waifus in my Bedroom
As Koul strode down the vast halls, he decided to quell his curiosity and confusion.
Looking around, he noticed the system wasn't anywhere in sight, so he called it.
"System," he called and a second later, it appeared.
[What is it?] it asked grumpily like it had been called away from the middle of something important.
"The girl who followed the prince here, who's she?" Koul asked. "Do I perhaps know her?"
[Of course you do! She was among your wives. She's your ex wife,] it revealed nonchalantly.
Koul froze on his spot, his muscles locking up from surprise.
Not only do I have an harem of women who loathe me, I also have an ex? Possibly, exes?
"But why's she with him? And how did she become my ex?"
[Well, through the same thing that will happen tomorrow. Probably,] the system emphasized the last word.
Koul stared at the system with an exasperated look, silently telling it to continue and stop cutting its words and keeping him in suspense.
[She was won over by prince Armin through a duel he held with you. He won and claimed her as his. Though, she didn't initially want to stay with you. She offered herself to him rather than have him choose the moment he won.]
I see. I'm not surprised. They loathe me, so it isn't anything shocking if they wish to be with someone else.
Besides, I'm Iimpotent. I mean, the previous Koul is.
Explains why she was constantly staring at me. She must hate my guts.
"So that's what you mean by the same thing will probably happen tomorrow. The prince is certain he'd win and once again, claim one of my wives," Koul said in a casual tone but his mood was anything but casual.
His temples were bulging with pulsing veins as hot blood streamed through him.
I can't just give them out just because they loathe me. I will try to work things out with them.
Will that even be possible? They all seem to believe I'm impotent. And it appears Yui hasn't gone around telling my business either.
[You don't have to feel bad or responsible in any way. It was her decision,] the system consoled.
"As if! Why would I care if one of my possessions get claimed by someone else? I have plenty more others!" Koul let out with confident pride.
I killed that, hehe. That's exactly how the real Koul would've seen things. He'd be too unbothered to care for a mere single girl.
As Koul relished in his moment, a screen appeared before him, reading.
[You Have Acted out of Character..]
[Launching penalty. 10…9…8…7…]
Koul stiffened up instantly, fear mounting his senses.
What the? How?!
[The real Koul wouldn't say that. To him, all his possessions, whether big or small are his possessions. Even if he has no use for them, he sees them as his and should remain his. He was upset when the girl left, angry that one of his possessions had been taken away.]
Oh! He's a crazy one for sure.
With urgency, Koul summoned his status window and navigated to the points he's earned.
Points: 390
Under the points read an option:
[Pay the Penalty with Points…]
Koul didn't hesitate and clicked on the option.
[You have paid the penalty with points…]
[Deducting Points…]
[Remaining Points: 310..]
Koul's mouth slightly fell open. "It took 80 points?!!"
[You're even lucky it worked. And that's because the penalty was light else it would have demanded more,] the system said.
Unbelievable! I need to grind for more points for when a heavy penalty falls on me. The first penalty was already that crude. I don't want to find out how the next one will be.
And as it stands, I can't go against the system. At least not yet. But I will. There has to be a way and I won't relent till I find it.
And the judges will be judged!

Back in Koul's chambers, Yui relaxed into the circular wooden tub. She rested against it, groaning and exhaling as her muscles soften.
While Hera who'd been asleep on the bed, stirred. She had been asleep for long and was already about to wake up, so the soft noise from Yui stirred her awake.
As she rose from the bed, and pushed aside the curtains framing it, she sighted Yui some distance away.
Quietly, she got down from the bed and that caught Yui's attention.
Yui flinched, utterly stunned. She hadn't noticed Hera on the bed, probably due to her fatigue.
"He-Hera?" She stammered, taken aback.
Hera sat calmly on the edge of the bed and crossed her legs. She rested her cheek agaisnt one hand and stared silently Yui.
"Hmm…. so he already played with you," she said softly.
Yui turned her gaze away, shy and embarrassed.
"I was thinking we could have some fun moments, but you ended up taking it away," she sighed, rising from the bed.
"Well, my fault for sleeping off," she shrugged.
She drew near Yui and squatted. Then swept her eyes all over in scrutiny.
"Look at all those marks. He must've really liked it."
Her gaze noted all the tiny pink love bites all over Yui and her breasts.
"But why are you taking a bath? Did he play with you down there too?" She asked.
Yui could only turn away, too embarrassed to even speak or answer such a question.
"You seem weak. Were his hands that good to get you this down?"
Yui shot her a look, realizing Hera still wasnt aware that Koul was no longer impotent.
In fact, no one else knows. It was just her, and the vice captain… probably.
She thought whether to reveal it to Hera or not. But she decided against it.
She thought Koul should be the one telling his own business, so she turned her gaze away.
"You're still as shy as always. I wonder how you got to him."
Hera rose.
"Anyways, take your bath and come join me in bed. We should spend the night here today."
She parted Yui's head and walked back to the bed to lay down.
Yui had her bath and just like Hera had suggested, she went to the bed.
"You don't have any clothes?" Hera asked when she saw Yui come to the bed naked after drying up.
"H-he tore it," she replied.
Hera burst out laughing. She leaned over, laughing loud and mocking.
"He's fierce, hahaha."
Her laughs slowly faded, turning into chuckles.
"Then just manage this for now."
She wrapped a blanket over Yui.
Then they both sat, resting against the bed's frame. Their gazes were focused on the door, waiting eagerly for Koul like dogs waiting for their owner.
