Harem Tournament of Champions

Chapter 103 Blood Contract



"Alta, don't do anything irrational," Hisha warned.

Melody took steps back, weary of an attack she wasn't prepared for.

"She had attacked that puny fish chief!" Alta hissed as her wings curved ready to let out a barrage of hard sharpened feathers.

'How the fuck does she know about this?!' Hisha internally complained about his system.

[It would seem she had been lurking, one of the benefits of being able to fly]

Glaring at Alta, he was sure to confront her on this, "were you spying on me?!"

For a moment, Alta was stunned, having forgotten that she had made a spill of her action.

Forcing her down in submission with his telekinetic binding, his eyes glowed in rage, "you are overstepping your boundaries demoness!"

Alta's wings drooped, disheartened by her actions, and could only mumble. "I was trying to look out for you, dar–"

Tightening his grip on her arms, Hisha struggled to stand firm in his decision to teach her a lesson.

"I'm sorry," Alta muttered under her breath.

Melody winced at the display, seeing herself in her position, wondering if that was how she looked to Hisha.

Taking a look at Hisha, she could see the struggle on his face. Placing a palm on his shoulder, Melody hummed a tune into his ear.

Easing his grip on Alta, he turned towards Melody in confusion as to what she had done.

All she gave as a response was a smile, "she didn't mean any of that."

Alta had her teeth gritted at her response, "who are you?!"

Melody closed her eyes and shook her head, it wasn't her place to explain since she had little time left.

[45:06:54]

Releasing his hold on her, Alta immediately had her palms used to support her from collapsing onto the floor.

"Do not ruin anything, can you do that for me?" Hisha gave a cryptic response and hushed her.

Switching glances between Melody and Hisha, Alta gave a reluctant nod and a forced smile.

Offering his hand out to her, he had a warm smile as he stared down at her.

[Exp+3]

Taking the gesture, she was pulled to her feet and pulled in for a kiss to appease her.

Melting into the kiss, Alta wrapped her hands around his neck, pressing her bust onto him.

[Exp+4]

Melody watched with a stoic expression, looking down immediately as they use broke off in their pants.

Turning his attention towards Melody, he had a smirk as he made a telepathic communication with her.

[They would soon make their appearance here, be ready]

Making his way towards his throne, he sat down with his legs wide apart and his hand on the armrest.

Melody and Alta watch him stare at the door while deep in thought.

Immediately after his gaze shifted in their direction, Melody was forced to her knees and the cuffs reattached to her wrists and ankles.

Alta raised a brow at the strange arrangement going on between them.

"My lord, it is I!" Mich's loud voice boomed on the other side.

'Just who I was waiting for.' Hisha's grin widened.

With a clench of his palm, the metaes obliged and allowed him entry.

With his hand behind him, he crossed over the threshold and immediately he set eyes on Melody, he felt a sharp pain in his crotch.

Mustering all the strength he could, he walked past her as though he didn't have an idea of who she was.

Melody on the other hand struggled in her clutches, snapping and hissing as he passed by and stopped when he was stopped by Alta.

Mich looked upwards to the overlord, bowing in reverence, but internally cursing at him.

Sneezing, Hisha rubbed his nose and let out a low chuckle, understanding what he had done.

[He cursed at you]

'I know, he still hasn't learned his lesson.' Hisha replied, having his fingers steepled and a malicious gaze placed on Mich.

Pretending as though surprised, he looked over at Melody, then at Alta–feeling a bit unsettled by her presence.

Alta folded her arms, not ready to budge except Hisha told her to.

Calling her over, Alta flew up the mezzanine to be by his side as her hands roamed his body, but her gaze was on Mich as though mocking his situation.

[Exp+5]

Mich cursed under his breath, trying his best to maintain his composure while he put on a smile.

"My lord, wouldn't it be best if–"

He was cut short when Hisha silenced him with his hand-clenching gesture.

"The last person who had used such suggestive speech with me, had his last breath taken!" Hisha grinned at the thought of Rean.

Gulping to the warning, Mich staggered back and took a side glance at Melody, biting down on his bottom lip.

He didn't feel comfortable speaking about his vulnerable condition while Alta was present.

"So..." Hisha leaned forward, "what would it be?"

Left with no choice, he conceded and nodded his head to the condition.

"I apologize for my insubordination..." He bowed slightly.

Alta squatted and laid her legs to the side as she rested her head on his thighs.

"Is she the one you were trying to search for?" Hisha questioned, gesturing at Melody.

Acting on the plan, Melody snapped at his gesture and struggled to be let loose as the cuff tugged at her when she charged toward Mich.

Taking three steps back, Mich grimaced at her aggressive nature of Melody but tore his gaze away and responded with a nod.

"Yes, my lord. Although, at the time, she was more conservative than now."

Alta took a glance at Melody and remembered their first interaction, she did look like what Mich had said.

'What's going on that I am not understanding here?' She narrowed her eyes at Melody.

Melody panted as she felt exhausted after her numerous attempts at getting her hands on Mich and reverted to being calm as she sat on the floor.

"My lord, could I ask where she had been found?"

"Straton, any other information is to be kept confidential," Hisha responded.

"Could you tell me, what you plan on doing with her?" Hisha smiled.

Melody's chest heaved as she glared daggers at Mich as the thoughts of what he had put her through before her demise came rushing in.

Mich's look turned sinister with a crooked smile, "I would treat her to a special treatment that would be far more beneficial for me than it would be for her."

Alta got to her feet, triggered by his speech which had been similar to what she had heard years ago while she was in danger before being rescued by Hisha.

Hisha shook his head at her attempt to cause a fight, it wasn't in her place to ruin what he had planned–Mich was one of his valuable assets he needed to get to his ultimate goal.

Mich looked back at the two and was puzzled as to why they looked as though a conflict was just averted.

"You can do anything you want with her..."

Mich bowed in appreciation.

"But," Hisha snapped his fingers to which a floating glowing piece of paper zoomed towards Mich and spread out in front of him.

Weary about the plan set before him, he took a step back so he could have a better look at the paper.

"My lord, what is this?" He asked, noticing the blank piece of paper.

"Place your hand." Hisha nodded to the paper.

"On the paper?" He questioned, skeptical about it.

'Where else do you think I could mean, you fish brain?!' Hisha snapped in his thoughts.

Instead, he tilted his head and smiled, "you seemed to have forgotten the deal we had made in your chambers. I fulfilled mine, would you?"

Making a double take on the reference, Mich suddenly understood what the piece of paper could do.

"I would not take my chances, if you do decide to back off, I won't hesitate to kill her in an instant," Hisha added.

Making an incomplete clench of his fingers, Melody began to gasp and struggle to be freed from the hold that was choking her with every passing second.

[I'm sorry, but it has to go this far to be convincing]

With no way of escaping the situation, Mich pleaded for Melody to be spared. "I will do it, please let her go."

For a brief moment, Hisha had almost fallen for his seemingly empathetic approach, but knowing Mich, he could already tell that he had other plans for her, if he was willing to plead.

Stretching out his hand and placing it on the paper, he hissed as he felt tiny jabs under his palm.

Pulling it out as he watched the tiny blood particles were gathered and forming a swirl pattern that would bring out the true state of the contract.
