Chapter 107: Um... So what if he's gay?
Lier tried again and said in a more seductive yet helpless voice, "I don't want to marry you, oh Almightyness, you could use me as a slave, or use me once and let me go.... I'm just a tiny insect in front of an extremely powerful individual such as yourself. You will not gain anything by killing me.... I am not a threat or can't be a threat. So why don't you use me for your pleasure and then let me go, oh great person."
Harry visibly cringed whenever she said oh Almightness or great person. He literally felt cringe pierce throughout his whole body when he listened to what she said.
Harry said with disgust visible on his face, "Oh but I do not have the habit of letting tiny insects escape, especially ones who could do anything and everything. If you are even willing to be my slave just to live temporarily, you could form alliances just to kill me. And anyway, why the hell did you think that I'd be willing to marry or even touch a slut like you, who even used her fellow comrades as body shields just to survive?! "
Harry did not know why, but he felt immense disgust when he saw the woman. At first it was just irritation, but now it was pure disgust.
The woman was extremely shocked when she heard what the man said. Really? He had such high expectations of her?! Form alliances to kill the man?! Why the hell would she do that?! Her brain did not register the last part when Harry said that he had no intention to marry or associate with her in any manner.
Lier clearly understood that she would die today anyway, and so she decided to go out by atleast making the man feel absolutely traumatized.
She knew that she couldn't even touch a hair of the man's, and thus wanted to use her poisonous mouth to make him become angry and embarrassed.
She concluded that the man must be gay but was not open about the fact, or he would've just rejected her with that reason straight up instead of all these reasons about him not being interested in her.
She..... is absolutely... idiotic. Seriously, why can't he just love his wife and not want to betray her, or just not be interested in crazy and shameless sluts like her? And what's wrong if he's gay? It's his choice!
Now the answers to all these questions are simple. She doesn't believe that such a 'powerful' person, who must be in a high position back in the human kingdoms, only had one wife. In this world, polygamy is so common, that monogamy was looked at weirdly. Even a person with a fragment of power had two wives, while for a person who was in high positions... three wives is a less number.
There are rare cases of people in high positions and even kings having only one wife, but they are known to have multiple concubines that they visited. On paper, they only had one wife, and all power belonged to her, but in real life, while the kings did only accept her as the only queen and that she had all the power, they had children with many concubines, who later fought for power with the crown prince, thus ruining the peace of the kingdom.
A person with a monogamy, a single wife, without any concubines, was seen as weirdly in that world as how a polygamy would be looked at in Earth. The people in Earth look at a polygamy with absolute hate. Polygamy is banned in almost 142 sovereign states, with polygamy being punished in those states with many punishments, even including jail time in some states.
Polyandry, the practise of a women having multiple husbands, on the other hand is banned in virtually every country. Discrimination!
So, the woman could not believe that the king was actually rejecting her because he had 'a' wife waiting back at home.
As for her not believing that he was not interested in her, this was just ego sprinkled with over confidence. She did not believe that a man could not like such a beautiful woman like her.
As for what's wrong if he's gay, nothing much really. It's just being gay is looked down upon and hated by people of that world. It was considered as something shameful to be gay in that world. Thus even normal people don't tell others that they are gay in that world, let alone people in high positions. The people in high positions would do anything and everything to not let news leak that they are gay.
So, since she thought that he was gay due to her inflated sense of ego and self importance, she wanted to use that as a key to escape or atleast to traumatize him.
At this point, her brain had stopped working due to the stress and excessive thinking that it had to endure. Thus, she had made an extremely stupid plan of suddenly revealing that he was gay, and when he becomes shocked and angry, she would say something like, 'Let me go! Or I'll cast a spell to tell everyone in the human kingdom that your gay!"
How would she do that? Only she should know.
Harry was tired of this woman and her antics, and wanted to kill her already, when the system said in his head,
[Pleaseee Host! Let's see what else she tries. It's been ages since I've recieved such quality entertainment. She's absolutely funny. I'd want you to keep her as a jester in your kingdom if not for the fact that she is so egoistic.]
Yup, that's right. The reason he was keeping up with and bearing all her shenanigans was because of the system. Or he would have killed her ages ago due to the irritation she had caused him.
The woman said while looking at Harry, "You're gay aren't you?!"
Harry was confused. Why did she get that idea? And even if he was, so what?
Even though there was absolutely no whatsoever reaction from Harry, the woman had imagined him to have a surprised expression, which was changed into an expression filled with resentment and embarrassment shortly after.
Yup, she had gone crazy. She had lost it. She had gone absolutely bonkers.
This is why you should never think too highly off yourself. Because once someone breaks your perfect imagination of yourself, you will go crazy.
[I wanted to say something deep and meaningful here, but I ended up saying something funny instead.]
The woman did not even need Harry to reply, as her vivid imagination made her hear the man's voice say filled with apprehension , "H- How did you f- find out? This o- only gives me more reasons to kill you! I c- can not let that matter leak out!"
The woman laughed loudly as she said, "As if I will let you kill me! The second you try anything funny, and I will make sure all the humans get to know that you are gay! Then your king will be disgusted with you and lower your position!"
Harry was amused yet disgruntled at the same time, as the system was laughing in a comical way with it's robotic voice. Pluto on the other hand was stifling his laughter.
Harry was sincerely confused though. Who was she talking to? Maybe she had gone crazy? What he did not understand was how he was gay, and even if he was gay, what it had to do with the king and his position.
There was no way he would lower the position or hate someone who was gay. The only person he hated were people who were his enemies. As long as he was fit for the position and was hardworking, why would Harry lower the position of someone? Because they were gay? That's just stupid.
But it was not uncommon for people who were gay to get discriminated in this world. For Harry, who had come from modern Earth, where equality and freedom was promoted, being gay made absolutely no difference.
As long as the person was deserving of his position, he would retain it.contemporary romance
Author's Note:
Please read the story from the start again. I'm rewriting it. I assure you it'll be good (pats chest). Like I'm including stuff like a secret group of assassins for Harry, and all. I'm also thinking of including a function like scope of personality that will give him powers to examine all his citizens and kill those who are not loyal [Grins evilly and scarily.]
Gimme your Power Stones please! I'm not getting many good features, and it may help if I enter the top 200. The 199th novel has like 380 Power stones, so gimme 400!
Lol, it's not like I'm asking it for free. You'll get 4 chapters on Sunday if you gimme those 400 Power stones. [Pleading expression].
