Chapter 172 (Pretending)

All of his women were looking at him closely, afraid that something will happen to him. They were also quite worried about eating the pill on his own.

The moment he consumed the pill he felt a lot of pain inside his body... this was the process of cleansing his bones. Still, this kind of pain is way too little for him but for his women and other people this would be excruciating.

Noticing the worried gazes of his women... he suddenly thought of something.

"Argh..." He suddenly crouched down while holding his chest with a lot of pain showing on his face.

"Alex!!..." All of his women screamed as they quickly got closer to him... checking if there is something they could do.

Almost all of them have worry plastered all over their face. Though it was 'almost' all of them. Some felt something weird was going on. Scáthach was one of them.

"Arghh..." He screamed yet again... but inwardly he was smiling. Of course, it was just an act.

"What happened? Tell me quickly." Alexia said worriedly.

"Where does it hurt? Here? or here?." Selena asked while cautiously touching him afraid that the pain will get more painful. Right now, she couldn't think straight... she even forgot that the pill he consumed was regarding about bones so there is no way she could see where the pain was but she still have to ask.

"I regret letting him take it after all. We should have been the one to take it... I was talking about protecting him just before this... yet I can't even do anything about this." Catherine said.

'Fuck! I'm such a sinful man.' He thought while looking at the worried gazes of his women. Still, he already got this far. At least he need to finish this through. With that, he continued his act.

Cough* Cough* This he took it even more further as the moment he coughed there was blood mixed with in it.

"Don't die... I need you." Clara was almost crying.

"Speak to me... damn! We are still not over!." Violette screamed

"I dare you to die... I will curse you to death." Eva shouted as a tear fell from her eye.

'What a unreasonable woman... if I die you are going to curse me to death? Is that double dead then? Mercy please...' He thought

"Girls... I'm sorry. I think maybe I— He couldn't finish his sentence as he coughed out blood again.

"No!!! There are still things we need to do together... if you die what would I do?." Rose cried with a lot of tears falling from her eyes. It was just today that she told him what she really felt now his going away? She couldn't accept that.

"Rose... sorry..." Alex smiled while caressing her face... trying to wipe away her tears but it wouldn't go away as drop after drop of tears fell from her eyes.

"Your not pretending right?." Kiara asked

She was one of the three that felt something else is going on. The other two is Zeth and Scáthach... but Zeth still don't understand emotions that much unlike the two, Kiara and Scáthach.

"Kiara!!!." Selena shouted. It was not the time for jokes.

But the moment Kiara said that he flinched. Of course, almost all of his women didn't realize it as he quickly composed himself.

'This Kiara is quite sharp.' He thought

Even though he thought no one found out... But this small thing couldn't escape from Scáthach eyes.

"Don't stop her." Scáthach said to Selena as she continued. "Damn bastard if you continue to pretend the dying this Queen will be the first one to send you to death!."

'Shit! I almost forgot this immortal woman! What a blunder!.' He thought while trying to think of a way to continue this act.

"Dear, are you joking?." Alexia asked. It was at this time that the other also felt something weird was going on... and Scáthach words have a lot of impact on it as she was really strong compared to them so if she said that he is pretending. It should be the truth.

"Now that I think of it... how could this pervert die with just a pill." Violette said. She has also realize that with his strength there are not many things in this world that could threaten his life.

"Bastard! Get up for this lady... You wasted my tears!." Eva shouted as she grab and shook his neck.

'Is this woman trying to kill me for real.' He thought but still he need to keep his act.

"Cough* Cough* What are you saying? I don't have much time... can't I just say goodbye to you all?." He said while continuing his act. This time, his body gone limp without strength in it.

"Hey... if you stop doing this now... this lady can still forgive you! But if you don't..." Catherine was angry, really angry. She was not such a clueless woman to still not find that there was something wrong with him.

"I'm also really angry, you know that?." Rose said while wiping her tears... still she was smiling as she was happy nothing happened to him.

"Stand up for this princess! You need to face this princess's wrath!." Clara shouted while trying to claw him.

"Go, go, go. Beat this bastard for trying to trick us... I was even almost swayed at the start." Kiara said.

His limp body got clawed and shake around by Eva and Clara

'Fuck! these women are so cruel... but is there really nothing I could do?.' He thought while closing his eyes pretending to be dead.

"Hey... this Queen is already out of patience. If you still don't stand up in the count of three. You will remain lying there for the rest of your life. As this Queen will really end you." Scáthach threatened.

He still didn't budge to her threat.

"1..."

Scáthach started counting.

"You really want to die that badly, huh?. 2..." Eva and Clara already got off his body.

'Shit! Do I really have to get up?.'

"3... Die for this Queen!." Scáthach finished counting as she rushed towards him.

"Okay-okay! Stop-stop. I'm already up okay?." He quickly stood up stopping Scáthach's move.

"Humph! You think you can get out unscathed?." Scáthach asked with an evil smile.

He got confused but soon notice that gazes of all his women. It was so fierce as if it was trying to eat him alive.

And this was the moment he knew he... What was it again readers?
