Dread Sovereign: Monster Girl Harem

Clack!

The sound of Emily's heels tapping the pavement, her face pouting as she recovered slightly from her intoxicated state. Despite loving the steak so much, she let out a nasty burp before squealing like a pig in delight from the taste.

After eating 2kg of steak, she burped again and began to hum happily. Yet Raven could tell she was still angry at that poor boy for interrupting her.

"Emily~ stop rushing off; you forgot this." Raven scolded her deeply, holding her tiny black purse, which was super heavy despite being smaller than his palms.

His voice caused the dreamy dryad to spin around and prance towards him, grabbing the bag and jumping up to kiss his cheek, obviously enjoying the sensation as she repeated the process three times before darting away, her hands resting on her butt.

"Hey, did you not dislike me because I burped?" She asked as his pace soon caught up with her, wrapping his suit jacket around her shoulders and ensuring the neck button was fastened. He felt it was too cold and worried about the vines that withered in the cold.

"Do you want the truth or the blunt truth?" He joked with a smile, wrapping an arm around her back; he noticed that during their meal, slowly, as long as he made her laugh, smile or generally feel good, the pink aura would enter his body.

At the same time, his purple energy would pour into her; over the night, she became more vibrant, her skin shiny and soft.

'It seems women would kill to spend time with me in the future, haha...' He thought, watching the pretty dryad looking at him cautiously, his hands tickling his forearm as it rested over her swaying hips.

"Mmmm... brutal truth... so I can get ready to cry alone with a tub of ice cream!"

"Hahaha... Don't worry." He bellowed with laughter, their pace slowing as they walked down the cool night pavement, only a few hundred metres from the entertainment area. Thankfully they headed in the opposite direction, near the 24-hour hospital.

She poked his forearm as if pushing for his answer; her face looked anxious and slightly embarrassed. Usually, she and her mother would eat alone. Thus, the two women didn't need to hold things back.

Raven seemed to have made her so relaxed she almost forgot this.

"Well?"

"Ah... Well..." Raven leaned close to her; the crossing light was red as they waited for the green man to show his face. His warm breath, slightly sweet and smelling of dark chocolate and wine, with a hint of steak.

"It was extremely erotic; I almost threw you down and ravished you on that black sofa. Vulgar and relaxed women are very sexy."

"Nn..."

He watched as she became quiet, the green man showing as she gripped his arm, her bright face red as she tried to look away from him. Raven discovered that although she was strong when attacking, Emily had a guard of zero when he flirted or teased her, sometimes more naive than Lilith.

'The more time I spend with her, the more she reveals how compatible we are.' Raven thought; when they reached the other side, he noticed a messy blonde ponytail flick across his cheeks as a female bumped into his and Emily's chest.

Raven's reactions were far more potent than the past as he released Emily gently, his body moving forward like a gust of wind, wrapping his arms around the girl's body before his eyes and body froze the moment she fell into his chest, her green eyes fluttering wildly as her nose took a deep sniff of his body.

'No way... This can't be happening, now of all fucking times?' He cursed.

-

Emily's watched the scene. She could have quickly helped; even her vines were ready to stop the worst situation, but Raven's movements shocked her; he was so fast, like a hurricane, before he held the woman tightly and froze.

'Eh? Why are you looking like that? What are those sorrowful and damp eyes? Raven... Who is she? Is that.... her... No way. How can my date with him be so unlucky!?' She lamented.

"Are you alright?" Emily's gentle voice sounded, speaking to the beautiful blonde elf standing dazed inside Raven's arms; her arms were initially against his chest but now wrapped tightly around his back.

"Alistair... Alistair... it's Alistair's scent....!" The elven woman whispered to herself in an almost obsessive voice, her face rubbing against his chest as Emily's voice was ignored.

A strange feeling formed in Emily's chest; from the documents, they broke up because of an argument outside his company, that Philis wanted something different, yet watching this scene, Emily couldn't believe that for a moment.

She could tell from the scent, the look on her face and the way she held him so tightly; thankfully, it only lasted for a minute at most, as the woman seemed to regain her sense and back away, looking towards Raven, then Emily, biting her fingernails before bowing to them both slightly.

"I'm sorry... I was a little shocked and didn't know what came over me... Sorry, Alistair... I hope things won't get awkward for you and this pretty dryad!"

"Don't worry about it...Philis... But you look as beautiful as ever," Raven said, being completely honest; he wouldn't change how he acted because Emily was present, and she knew how important Philis was to him and wouldn't change even if they dated.

'It's this!' Emily suddenly realised what caused her to feel strange.

Neither she nor the woman apologising seemed to treat each other as enemies; Emily could feel that this woman, Philis Raven's ex held no jealousy or anger towards her, even though she was still crazy about him.

"Alistair... The cute dryad is?" The beautiful Philis in her smart work suit, black skirt, tights and jacket with her hair tied with a black ribbon looked towards Emily with a gentle and motherly smile.

"Nice to meet you; I am Emily... Alistair's...."

"Girlfriend, she's become my girlfriend tonight." Raven finished as Emily's hands tightened, happy that he stated it honestly and clearly. The fact he acted so normal with Philis caused her to feel strange, but now she realised.

'He's just that kind of orc... haha.... the big bastard... I thought he might deny it....'

There was a slight tinge of jealousy when she first saw Philis hugging and sniffing Raven.

However, when she realised how particular Raven's body was and who the woman was... All her strange feelings vanished, instead... it scared her to be so accepting of another woman holding her boyfriend.

"Hmmmm... She looks like a good girl; I hope you don't do those things to her too soon... She might break," Philis said with a whisper into his ears, but Emily could easily hear them.

"Don't worry; she seems the type to love that stuff, like you."

"Hmm.... you've gotten bigger and more handsome, you know? Did breaking up let you finally spread your wings? Your face seems so happy and shining, like your mother in the past when she spoke about clearing dungeons."

Emily let them speak because she also learned about his past; Philis knew things that no amount of the bureau's documents had.

"Haha, well, thanks to you leaving, maybe? Also, thanks to this dryad's help guiding me to the right path. Look, I'm an adventurer now... here's my card!"

Both women looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes, a slight shimmer as they smiled at each other, although there might be a touch of jealousy, maybe regret in each woman's heart.

The moment the man they both loved began to speak about his new job, going into dungeons like a child who got a new toy and bragging to his parents, they both realised that even after knowing him for so long, Philis still didn't know everything about her ex-lover and Emily continued to find new, adorably parts of his personality.

"Hmmmm, so you got that title today, and to celebrate, you took Emily for a date and finally became a couple... fufu~ you never change."

Philis moved deftly towards Emily before whispering in her ears, using a particular skill to limit the sound to one person; even if Raven was standing with his ears to her lips, only Emily could listen.

"Congratulations Emily, you will never regret your choice, especially as he's even bigger now! But there will never be another man that can fill the void he leaves~ both mentally and physically fufu~" Philis spoke with a sultry voice as she looked down at Emily's lower body, causing both girls to slightly blush and giggle.

Emily wanted to learn more about Raven and his past, even this soft-spoken and lovely woman who didn't show any bitterness or spite; there was no hate in her heart even jealousy turned to peace as the savvy businesswoman avoided being too touchy with him after her first moment of weakness.

Maybe it was because the affinity between elves and dryads was the highest globally.

Beep-Beep!

"Oh... It looks like my sister is calling me home; she's so problematic; it's not like I am dying... it's something most women deal with in their lives...." Philis muttered, looking at Emily with a wink before stroking her stomach.

Philis stepped forward with light steps before standing on her tiptoes; he was now so tall she could barely reach his cheek, so she kissed him and darted into the busy crowd, leaving both Emily and Raven in shock.

Raven stood watching as she vanished, not for too long but long enough to show his feelings and how strong they still were.

Emily noticed that Raven's face was relatively calm as he turned to her, then showed a slightly apologetic look, causing her to feel amused. This guy, why was he so confusing before tonight?

He was sincere with his feelings at all times!

She moved forwards, her steps almost mimicking the ones used by Philis as she leaned up, the same height as the elven beauty, kissing the opposite cheek, which left Raven blushing and looking awkward.

Her mind was filled with the final words that Philis said, "I haven't given up; let's take care of this silly man together, okay?"

'If they were to rekindle their love... '

'I wouldn't get in the way... as long as he loves us equally... and doesn't mind dealing with a dryad and elf at once...'

Because Emily realised, from the very start Philis knew it was her fault he didn't spread his wings, he was too devoted to her and never saw his happiness merely enjoying hers, thus it made Emily's thoughts change too.

'I won't rush things; let's allow him to keep growing... Keep soaring in the air! If he shows signs of being tied down because of my love. I'll use my vines to tear those ropes apart! Never let him forget his passion and love for adventuring!'

"Emily, are you alright?"

"Mmm! I feel amazing!"

"You're not mad?"

"She's lovely; there's no need to be mad!"

"Haha... true..."

"Oi... your girlfriend is right here..."

"Ah... sorry."

"Fufu~ I am joking... but why did she leave the hospital? This isn't the A&E ward but... the one for..."

Raven looked at her with a tilted head, unsure what the difference between an A&E and this place was, but Emily realised. She realised everything... a bitter smile came to her lips as she complained in her mind.

'Damn elven witch... no wonder she is so relaxed.... she has his first...'

"Let's go, Alistair!" She chirped, her arm wrapped around him as they moved back towards the entertainment district.

"Uhm... you live the other way. Did you get lost?"

"I know! Let's go drink!"
