Rise of the Eromancer

Chapter 147 Royal Treatment

"Oh my god."

Perhaps one could not really recover from the experience of being seen absolutely naked by several people. And perhaps, even more so, one would absolutely not recover after being seen naked… and in a very promiscuous position in front of a group of people.

Fortunately for them, Kenneth and the Laughing Bronze stopped streaming when they decided to go on a rescue mission for Rhys — if not, then the entire world would probably be making memes of them right now.

It did not help that they confined them in a small room together, allowing her to think even clearly about the things that had happened.

"Lighten up, Kat. It's not the end of the world — being seen naked is normal. They even have those nude beaches in Germania."

"We're not in Germania, Princess," Ayesha was the one to respond to Lina, as Katarina was currently seated on a chair in the corner, covering her face in embarrassment even after hours had already passed since they were found, "And those Germania people have the biggest balls in the world, remember how they almost annihilated Rhys's kind?"

The group, who was now fully clothed, was currently in the main branch of Amerka's HIU, in the biggest and perhaps most secure city in the entirety of Amerka in terms of having the most high-ranked Explorers living within it—no. Perhaps after what had happened in Mankappan, Washington is now absolutely the most secure city in Amerka.

"Speaking of, Rhys. You recei—"

"Can you two just stop talking already!?"

And before Lina could say anything more, Katarina raised her voice as she looked back and forth between the two; her loud voice, echoing through the small room they were waiting in, "My career… my career as a doctor is over. They've all seen… they've all seen my body."

"Bitch, your career as a doctor has been over for a while now," Lina rolled her eyes as she looked at Katarina, who was now covering herself with a blanket that was provided by them, "Just embrace it."

"Like how you probably embraced the Recruit's rock-hard cock," Ayesha snorted. She and Lina, bumping arms and nodding to each other after she said that.

"Kat, it's fine. Well, it's not fine… but it will be," Rhys, who had been listening to the three just bickering with each other, finally spoke up as he let out a short but very deep sigh, "Everyone's focusing on Arachnea, I don't think they are thinking about your bodies."

"Oh," Ayesha once again snorted as she focused her attention on Rhys, "That might be true… but they are definitely thinking about your large and girthy cock, Recruit. Did you see how the women of the Laughing Bronze were looking at you after they found us?"

"Wait…" Katarina's expression finally started to lighten up as she stood up from her chair, "You're right, most of them were women too."

"They probably heard it was Rhys who was missing and volunteered to come with Kenneth," Lina scoffed, "Those bitches. We should—You're back!"

The group's conversation was interrupted as Maria entered the holding room; her face, once again back to being completely stoic.

"I have cleared everything," Maria raised both her thumbs at the group, "I will not be charged and suspended for indecency since I explained that everything was a misunderstanding and that we tripped and I accidentally almost put Rhys's penis in my mouth."

"That…" Katarina could not help but squint her eyes at Maria. But after a few seconds, she shook her head and stood in front of her, "What about Arachnea and… and our connection with her?"

"I told them the truth," Maria shrugged.

"You told them the truth…?" The room slightly quivered as Ayesha's voice turned low; her step as she approached Maria, causing the floor beneath her to slightly crack.

"Yes, the truth." Maria subtly shook her head before pointing at her chest, gesturing to them that she was wearing a wire. And as soon as Ayesha and the others realized this, they just nodded their heads and turned quiet,

"You three are free to go. But they need to question Rhys."

"What…?"

"He is at the center of this after all," Maria walked back to the door and opened it, gesturing to Rhys to come with her, "And this is the third time you have encountered Arachnea and survived, and they are very interested in what you have to say. But if you ask me…"

Maria then made it look like she accidentally covered the wire she was wearing,

"They want to talk to you because of your… political potential."

"Who… am I meeting?" Rhys lowered his eyebrows.

"The one who almost ordered you to be arrested back in the apartment," Maria glanced at Rhys, "The Secretary to—"

"I do believe there is no need for that."

"What is the meaning of this!?"

And before Maria could fully open the door, she was slightly pushed to the side as a man suddenly barged into the holding room, who was followed by an obviously fuming old lady.

"Madam Secretary," Maria quickly stood in attention as she saw the woman. And as soon as Rhys heard her words, he also stood up straight and saluted. As for Ayesha, she just rolled her eyes and even sat down; not even paying her any respect.

Although the Secretary to the President was just a completely political position, Karen still holds the honorary rank of Lieutenant General of the Surface Army. And yet, right now… she was being ignored by an old man sporting a very thick mustache that almost covered his entire mouth.

"Prince Lance, you just can't pull Rhys Wilder out, he is currently at the top of the POI list and is due for questioning!" Secretary Karen raised her voice; the security team behind her, not really knowing what to do as they just looked at each other.

"But I already have, dear," the old man, Prince Lance, held a certain elegance in him as his eyes scanned Rhys and the others, "My niece has diplomatic immunity, and therefore, by extension, her fiance."

"Huh…?" Everyone turned to look at Rhys as Prince Lance focused his eyes on him. But very soon, Prince Lance's eyes strayed toward Ayesha, who quickly stepped to the side and revealed the hiding Lina behind her.

"...Fuck," Lina cursed as she just very slowly turned to look at Prince Lance, "How did you find me!?"

"How can we not?" Prince Lance then grabbed something from the inner pocket of his coat, "When your face is all over social media."

"That…" And as soon as everyone caught a glimpse of the photo, their eyes started to widen.

How could they not…

…when it was a photo of the exact moment that all of them were naked and lying down on Rhys?

"No…" Katarina, who was actually starting to recover, could not help but once again fall down on her chair as she covered her face.

"A shame," Maria, on the other hand, could not help but sigh in disappointment, "Our faces could barely be seen due to the quality of the photo."

"My face is barely visible! How did you even know it was me!?" Lina raised her voice as she slapped the photo away. And true enough, one could barely even make out the faces in the photo.

"I raised you, Linette. Of course, I would recognize you," Prince Lance shook his head, "And I am here to bring you home, child."

"I won't go back there!"

"You have even adapted the crassness of the tone of this barbaric country, a shame."

"I won't go with you."

"You will, and you must," Prince Lance then turned to look at Rhys again,

"Everyone is eager to meet your fiance, after all."

"Wait…

…he's coming with me?"
