Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

"I will be sleeping now. You may send Vriti here if she is free," Jane uttered calmly.

Niti forced her smile and said, "Good night."

She left the chamber with the glass in her hand and took a deep breath.

\'What was that? Did I see it right?\' she asked herself. \'I saw it two times, though…\'

She placed her hand on the chest and muttered, "It might just be my imagination, or maybe I didn\'t see it clearly in the dark, perhaps it\'s because Princess Jane got onto the bed, and that shook Princess Rias\' body; I saw her eyelids moving for a split second. And not once, but twice…"

The mere thought of Rias catching Rudy and Jane in action made Niti\'s heartbeat go crazy. She was afraid that it would be her turn soon and she would be punished, without knowing that Rudy was sworn to protect her as well.

Niti spread her wings and flew away.

FLAP~ FLAP!

On her way, she looked at the half-filled glass and muttered, "I thought it was Master Rudy who ordered it. Maybe he couldn\'t drink it?"

\'I know Princess Jane asked me to get rid of it, but I can\'t do that. I will drink it and wash the glass as she wanted.\'

Niti took a sip, and her eyes instantly widened.

\'This taste… It\'s so familiar yet different from the blood moon milkshake. It actually tastes… better and sweeter.\'

Without even realizing the contents of the milkshake, she drank her favorite Rudy milk mixed with blood moon fruit juice.

She smiled and recalled her time with Rudy.

"I wonder when we will do it again…." she muttered.

She first went to the kitchen and washed the glass as she was instructed by Jane, and after that, she went to the royal throne room.

She was curious why Rudy was summoned by Virgil at such an hour.

\'Master Rudy did mention that he made moves on the Great Mad Queen Nyxia. Did the Vampire Monarch find out about it and call Master Rudy to punish him?\'

Niti shook her head and scoffed softly as she muttered, "No one can punish Master Rudy. In fact, he punishes everyone on the bed."

When Niti reached and entered the royal throne room, the atmosphere was cold, and the silence was eerie. Just after stepping a foot inside made her feel uneasy, and she wanted to leave already.

\'What happened here…?\' She wondered.

A while ago, Rudy teleported to the palace in Jane\'s room and made his way to the royal throne room.

He wasn\'t exactly worried as he had a firm idea why Virgil had called him. As he went closer to the throne room, the guards\' numbers and the security got tight.

More than twelve guards were standing at the massive door of the throne room.

\'Not going to lie, when I crashed into the party that day, I thought that hall was a throne room since there was a throne at the pedestal, but I learned today that it was just a chair for the vampire monarch to sit on and enjoy the show.\'

SIGH!

Rudy entered the throne room and was greeted by various royals, nobles, and elders, who were sitting and standing at their respective seats. Some were happy, and some were upset, while the rest seemed uninterested and were only there for the sake of formality.

Rudy didn\'t care about any of that or what they thought of him. As long as they didn\'t mess with him, they wouldn\'t end up like Vesier, who was currently stargazing in the space.

"Rudy… welcome. We all have been waiting for you," Virgil warmly welcomed Rudy as soon as he entered.

Nyxia was standing beside Virgil even though there was a throne beside Virgil\'s throne.

"It\'s good to be here… or… something like that…" Rudy shrugged.

"Do you know why I called you here?" Virgil asked calmly.

\'Well, I do. But I will play to play dumb for my plan to work,\' he uttered inwardly and shook his head.

"I am not quite sure," he responded.

After a brief silence, Virgil uttered, "It\'s about the blood moon trees. A guard came to inform me and disturbed my sleep. I was furious at him for such an action, but what he told me left my ears yearning for more. I saw what you did with the blood moon garden, and I cannot describe my gratitude in words."

"I see."

"What did you do? How did you produce the blood moon trees?" one of the elders of the board asked.

"It\'s a secret," Rudy responded in a neutral tone.

"You imbecile! That\'s no way to talk in the presence of the Vampire Monarch," the elder yelled. "And this is our world, our rules. You are currently standing in the royal throne room. You are being questioned. You are being judged! So answer the questions honestly, or there will be consequences!"

Even Virgil didn\'t ask how Rudy produced the blood moon trees because he already knew what Rudy would reply with.

"I don\'t care about anything. But you better be glad that I have produced new trees." Rudy frowned his face and asserted, "Just as I created them, I can destroy them in less than a second. So keep groveling in front of me if you don\'t want to face my wrath."

"How dare you—"

"Alright, that\'s enough," Virgil interjected. "I didn\'t call him here for all this. I called him here to reward him."

He turned to Rudy and asked, "Rudy, what do you want as a reward?"

"I didn\'t do this for a reward, though."

\'I totally did this to get a reward! My plan is going perfectly so far!\' Rudy rejoiced inwardly.

Rudy wished for something that left everyone speechless and baffled— that no one would ever dare to wish for, even to the god.
