My Girlfriends Are Hardcore Yanderes - Chapter 207

Chapter 207: Big Surprise
Back in the arena, all five named sages were safe, but the sudden teleportation had left their robes askew, exposing their faces and, in some cases, revealing more of their features than intended.

Asher nearly broke into a cold sweat when he finally got a good look at their faces.

Nyx’s face was small and uniquely charming, with hair that was a mix of black and purple, barely reaching her ears. Her large eyes gleamed with an eerie, yet fascinating glow, giving them an almost insect-like quality.

Despite being the Sage of Death, she appeared surprisingly harmless. Her eyes, larger than normal in an unconventional way, gave her a cute, almost endearing look. Above her eyes, delicate antennae curled like those of a butterfly.

Next to her was another woman. She had cow-like horns protruding from her head, and now that she was sitting on the ground, he could see the traces of her thick and curvaceous body beneath the baggy robe

It seemed she had intentionally worn it to conceal her features.

Her face gave off a warm, caring vibe. Dark eyes and white hair, streaked with black spots of varying sizes and shapes, gave her the appearance of a cow’s coat.

Right beside her was another girl. Her round, orange eyes were impossible to miss.

Feathers, soft and light, grew along her neck, replacing where skin would normally be. Her dark brown hair framed her face and fell around her shoulders, adding to her unusual appearance—half human, half owl.

Then there was Kaliah, whom he had seen before. He had to admit, she was the second most attractive—well, technically, she used to be third, but with Liara now dead, she moved to second place.

Her fierce aura, a result of being a tigerkin, made her look really intense and intimidating in a good way.

She had the kind of look that made it seem like she would bite a man—though, truth be told, only an idiot would stop her if she aimed for the right part.

Lastly, there was Lizana, as beautiful as ever, with her silver hair that always seemed to be wet due to its glossy sheen, and her blue neon eyes.

She looked the most human among them, which might explain why he was a bit biased in judging her looks.

“Are you all women?” he blurted out.

They all turned to him, the question landing as offensive.

Asher mentally cursed himself, realizing he should have expected it. In this world, women were generally stronger, and he had forgotten that fact since Julius was male.

The sorcerer king was just an exception to the rule.

“Yes,” Lizana replied, standing up with a warm, reassuring smile. It was a well-timed save on her part, easing the tension and avoiding the awkward silence.

Then, turning her attention to the other sages, she gestured gracefully. “Please, introduce yourselves to our new king.”

The first to stand was the woman with the cowlike features and drop-dead body. Despite her tall stature, there was a gentleness in the way she carried herself, like a mother figure who demanded respect without needing to raise her voice.

“I am Emelda, the Sage of Knowledge, and the head of artificers in Eryx,” she bowed her head.

“My name is Asher,” he responded, maintaining a calm demeanor.

“So it’s King Asher,” Emelda repeated. She studied him for a moment, her gaze lingering slightly longer than usual.

The next to stand was the woman with owl-like features.

“I am Aelira, the Sage of Mind,”

She didn’t look fully convinced that he should be the new king—a reaction he expected.

Truth be told, he wasn’t sure he was fit to rule either. If it weren’t for the resources he needed, he wouldn’t have bothered with any of this.

The third to introduce herself was the half-butterfly beastkin, Nyx. After her introduction, Kaliah followed, her beastly aura as strong as ever.

“So, is that it?” Asher asked, his voice laced with uncertainty. He wasn’t sure where to go from here.

“I understand that all of this is confusing, so for now, how about you appoint a local of Eryx as your proxy?” Lizana suggested. “You’ll still be the king, but most of the difficult tasks will be handled by your representative.”

The other sages exchanged glances, already figuring out Lizana’s cunning strategy, and Asher caught on quickly too.

“You do it,” he said with a shrug, not particularly interested in taking on more responsibility.

Just as things were starting to flow more smoothly, Lucia flew down to him.

She had evacuated with the masses earlier and returned after things had calmed down. Her concern was visible as she noticed he was surrounded by the sages.

Just as she was about to speak, Lizana beat her to it.

“Is she really your wife, King Asher?”

“King Asher?” Lucia repeated. She still had no idea what happened.

“Yeah, I somehow became king after taking down the old one,” his tone was so casual that the named sages nearly broke into a cold sweat.

The words slipped out before he could catch them. It felt surreal.

The weight of it hit him for a moment—then faded, swallowed by his usual detachment.

It wasn’t his fault. Whoever decided the strongest should be king was a fool—nothing good ever came from that kind of politics.

They were lucky he had no intention of staying long or using his power for bad things.

Lucia blinked in surprise, her mouth slightly agape as she processed it.

“Wait… you really killed the Sorcerer King?” she asked, her voice filled with skepticism. No one could blame her; it was a hard thing to believed.

“And now you’re the new king?” She added, struggling to wrap her mind around the situation. “This is… a lot to take in.”

She glanced at the named sages, and they all nodded, confirming everything .

Soon, more and more members of the noble families began gathering back in the arena, all eager to learn the current situation.

They were in for a big surprise.
