Esper Harem in the Apocalypse-Novel

Chapter 486 War Report

After reaching the battlefield of the east, Virgil sighed in relief.

"I told you she is handling it just fine." Rudy remarked. "She is my wife, after all."

"Yeah… wait…" Virgil turned to Rudy with a confused look on his face and asked, " Did you say wife?"

"Uhh… I am pretty sure I called her my wife before too. Why do you look surprised?"

"When and where did you even marry her?"

"On the bed… during sex…"

"You know… if you weren't the Lord, I would have fought you…"

Rudy cracked his knuckles and said, "If you want, we can still fight."

"No one is fighting!" Jane shouted. "Stop talking about fighting!"

Rudy pulled Jane close to him and said, "You should be taking my side here, wifey."

"I am not taking anyone's side here. I just don't want fights between families."

Virgil gazed up at the sky and muttered, "Why are the clouds still here? I can't see the moon."

Rudy blew air from his mouth, making a giant hole between the clouds.

"They should pass away soon," he then said.

Virgil looked at the moon and said, "You have a limited time here. You should get ready to leave if you don't plan to stay here."

"How long do I have?"

"About fifteen minutes, I would say. It would take us more than that to return to the palace. Not to mention, opening the portal takes ten minutes," Virgil informed.

"I can get back to the palace in one second, so that's not an issue." Rudy gazed down at the army and asked, "Any casualties from your army?"

"A few, yes," Jane nodded. "I had cast a protection spell on them, but it couldn't save them from heavy and strong attacks."

Rudy placed his hand on his chin and muttered, "I have never tried teleportation to such a big number, but let's try it. I am also curious to find out."

Rudy signaled Virgil, and Virgil nodded in return before turning to the army.

"Everyone! Grab each other's hands, or make sure you are touching each other!"

Rudy hugged Jane and placed his hand on Virgil's shoulder while Virgil grabbed one of the soldiers.

"Are you ready?" Rudy asked. "Let me warn you beforehand that it will feel awful."

Rudy teleported them all to the arena without waiting for anyone's response. He wanted to teleport them to the palace, but he wasn't sure if it would work out on a large scale, so he teleported to an open arena instead.

After that, he flew higher with Jane in his arms and said, "I am going to the palace. Virgil, can you open the portal in the meantime?"

"..." Virgil glared at Rudy, but he let out a sigh and said, "Okay."

"Thank you, son," Rudy scoffed softly.

After that, he flew to the palace instead of teleporting there.

Jane hugged Rudy tightly and rubbed her face on his chest.

"What are you doing?" Rudy asked calmly.

"I just realized something."

"Hmm?"

"Do you think Rias would let me come to the human world with you?"

'Oh yeah… I wonder what Rias has planned for that.'

"Why don't you tell everything to Rias?" Rudy suggested.

"No way… she will hate me and never talk to me again."

'She doesn't want to tell anyone, but she also expects others to tell her. I, of course, tell everything when it's due. I told Jane everything, and I told Rias everything. I never had any intention of hiding about my harem.

Jane accepted and joined my harem, and so did Rias, but Jane doesn't know that. And why hasn't Rias told her anything yet? She said she would take care of it, but she clearly hasn't. What are you planning, Rias?'

Even though Jane could fly, she didn't let go of Rudy and kept embracing him until they landed at the palace.

Jane looked at her clothes and said, "I want to take a bath since I am feeling somewhat irritated after the war."

"You can do that in the human world. For now, just go and grab your stuff."

"Okay."

"And grab Niti too. She should be waiting for the invitation," he added.

"I know." Jane turned around after saying, "There is no way I can survive without a maid."

Rudy watched Jane leave and then muttered, "Spoiled princess."

He hurriedly made his way to Rias' chamber and found it guarded by several female guards.

"...."

Rudy got near them, but he was stopped by the guards.

"No one is allowed to go near Princess Rias' chamber without the permission of the Vampire Monarch," they said.

"Step aside."

Rudy ignored them all and opened the door without caring for anything.

"You can't—!" The guard stopped, and all of them dropped to their knees when they realized who he was.

Rudy walked inside Rias' room and closed the door behind him using telekinesis. He glanced around the room but couldn't find Rias.

"Rias?" he called out to her.

"Here!"

She was in the closet, but the door of the closet was closed for some reason.

Rudy opened the closet door and walked inside, which was similar to another small room.

"Are you still packing your stuff?" he asked while walking to her.

"No. I already did that a few days ago. I am here to have a last look at my closet and take out the clothes that I don't wear anymore, so I can give them to the maids or maybe the citizens," she responded without looking at Rudy.

"I see." Rudy hugged her from behind and kissed her on the side of the neck and then on her cheek.

"What happened to the war?"

"It ended a long time ago."

"Is that so? Then what took you so long to come to meet me?" she teased jokingly. "I was waiting for you."

"There was a minor turbulence in my flight due to bad weather, so it got delayed a little," he chuckled softly as he answered.
