Villain : I reincarnated as a Prince! Shouldn't I have a Harem?

"What?? You want me to go with that bastard who played me like a fool, murdered my disciple and now controls our lives? It would be better if I just die rather than going with him?"

Feng Xue furiously asked her father, standing in her chambers. Find your next read on m,vlemp _yr.

Ashen had allowed all the sect leaders to return to their sects after his Grandfather had left.

He also returned to the Phoenix Feather Sect and was now in his mansion.

"Xue Er, Listen to me. His Highness can take our lives with just a thought. He can also force you into marrying her, even his father, the emperor has done so on many occasions, however, he is not resorting to that and instead, he wants to win your heart."

"He is sincere and truly loves you. At least give him a chance. He had promised to send you back unharmed if he is not able to win your heart, so you just have to not fall for him."

"Me? Fall for him? Impossible!" Feng Xue immediately denied the possibility.

"If that's the case, then there shouldn't be any problem with going with him. He has given me his word to not use force on you, so you can rest assured with that. Xue Er, we are facing a very formidable man here and you can't make him angry. Just accompany him and return. Think of this as a trip to the capital, alright!"

Feng Tianlong was gentle as he tried to convince his beloved daughter.

"Sigh, Alright father, I'll listen to you!"

"Good, then prepare yourself. His Highness has instructed me to ensure you're ready to depart this afternoon. You'll be leaving via the teleportation formation."

Meanwhile, In Ashen's mansion,

"You murderer! You lied to me! You killed him, you killed Mo Fan"

Ling Yun shouted in anger and horror, seeing Ashen enter her room.

She had fallen unconscious in the arena upon seeing Mo Fan's death. It was only this morning that she regained her consciousness.

There was a sound barrier, so Ashen wasn't much worried about her outburst getting heard by the others.

Tears flowed down Ling Yun's eyes as he continued:

"It was you, you were the mastermind all this time. How easily you manipulated me into believing that you were my benefactor, when you were actually the devil himself!"

"You said that Mo Chen was the one who was after Mo Fan's life and you were the one who was protecting me from him. I was the fool to easily believe you!"

"You were the ninth royal prince and if you wanted to protect Mo Fan, could Mo Chen even retaliate?"

"It was you all along who wanted Mo Fan dead, am I right?"

Then, a confused expression arose on her face as she asked:

"But... How did a small person like Mo Fan manage to offend a big shot like you? He hasn't even been to the capital in his life."

"What was your motive? And how do I fit in all this? Why did you come after me? Why did you fool me? What did you gain, tell me!"

After Ling Yun was finished, gasping for air with tears in her eyes, Ashen decided to speak:

"It was you, I killed him because of you!"

"What? What do you mean? How can I be the reason for you killing Mo Fan?"

Ling Yun was dumbfounded upon hearing his answer.

"Everything I told you was true. I truly saved you from Mo Chen, however, I wasn't aware that I would fall in love with you after being with you all this time!"

"However, that love turned into a curse in my intentions to save you and Mo Fan. When Mo Fan appeared, I saw love for him in your eyes, however, I couldn't bear seeing that!"

"I wanted you to look at me with those eyes. I wanted that love to be for me and so I decided to replace Mo Fan. As long as Mo Fan was alive, you wouldn't have even looked at me."

"Hence, I decided to kill him. Now, Mo Fan is no more, and only I am suitable for you!"

"However, My love is not something that will bind or force you. If even after knowing how much I love you, you want to leave me, I'll not stop you!"

"Everything depends on you. I'll be leaving for the capital this afternoon. If you wish to accompany me, meet me at the Sect's entrance before I depart. If you choose not to come, I'll understand that my love will remain unfulfilled."

Saying that, Ashen turned around and left her room.

Ling Yun on the other hand was in shock. It turned out that she was the reason for Mo Fan's death.

(Ques - What do you think? Will Ling Yun be ready to accompany him or will she leave him? What will happen? Any guesses?)

Next Ashen called the three girls to the dining table to inform them of the news.

"I'll be leaving for the capital today afternoon so be ready. You all will be coming with me!"

"Your Highness, why do you want to take us mother and daughters with you? There should be no reason!"

Lady Suying asked respectfully. She had heard from her daughter about what occurred in the arena and now she was aware of Ashen's status and power, she dared not be disrespectful to him.

Ashen smiled gently as he reminded: "Lady Suying, did you forget about the oath I made to you? I need to protect you and your daughters, so that's the reason why I am taking you all with me!"

Lady Suying forced a smile as she acted surprised: "Ah, I completely forgot about that."

"How can you forget about that mother when brother Ashen is so kind to us?" Veli said cheerfully, hugging Ashen's hand from her chair.

"Veli, how can you address his highness as brother after you know his identity? apologize to him!" Lady Suying ordered with a stern expression, afraid of any dire consequences.

"Don't worry lady Suying, It is me who has allowed both of your daughters to address me as brother. There is no need to apologize. Just get ready to leave in the afternoon. I'll take my leave now. I need to get ready myself!"

Ashen said before leaving.

In his room, he began checking the harvest of yesterday.
