'How did I make such a mistake? There is no way that….was it him?' Aldir was in cold sweat as he looked at Haru. It was clear that he had done sothing since his eyes were glowing in red color.
"Yes, that would be troubleso indeed," Haru said plainly while looking at both Aldir and Windsom.
"Shit," Aldir cursed and use the technique he least wanted to use. But there was no other way for him at the mont. The World Eater technique which allowed him to channel an incredible amount of mana, compacting it until the individual particles began to burst, causing a chain reaction that would spread out to the atmospheric mana and continue until not a spark of his own purified mana was left, causing unparalleled devastation.
That is what was supposed to happen....
"W-What?! Why isn't it working?" Aldir stoic face dropped to one of despair as his last card didn't even work.
'Is this an illusion? It has to be,' Aldir thought in his mind.
"No, this isn't an illusion," Haru said with a small smile and looked at Queresha. Aldir followed his gaze and looked at her not even registering that his thoughts were read by Haru.
"That was a neat trick, exploding the atmospheric mana and causing a chain reaction, But sadly there isn't any atmospheric mana here for you to explode since it is all under my control," Queresha said plainly while looking at Aldir coldly.
"Heh, Isn't that basically a nuke?" Haru said hitting his palm with his fist. The others in the room didn't understand what he said, they had question marks on their heads.
"Sasuga Haru-sama," Queresha said while looking at Haru.
'…..I guess, I understand how Ainz feels,' Haru sighed as Queresha looked back at Aldir.
"As much as I am tempted to let you live but you are out of luck," Queresha said then before Windsom and Aldir could react they were covered by a curtain of darkness.
To everyone else, it looked like both Windsom and Aldir were swallowed by darkness vanishing from the place. Only Haru knew about the horrors those were going to face after they were trapped in the 'Black Coffin'(Nad by Jin-ah) it uses Queresha's space and darkness elent along with her application of aether to create a separate area in which she uses illusions. But he didn't need to worry about their bodies being damaged since he talked about it with Queresha before and he needed them since they will be more useful that way.
"Resha that was great I didn't know your mastery in Mana manipulation reached this stage," Haru said with a smile giving Queresha a thumbs up, It was about how she stopped the technique Aldir was trying to do.
His technique needed him to ignite the natural mana in the surrounding with his own mana to start a chain reaction of explosions, But Queresha already had full control of the Mana in the room and this was done after she sealed Aldir's mana circuit earlier.
So in simple words, Aldir stood no chance since Queresha prepared for things in advance. Well, it was because she was in front of Haru and didn't want a mistake to happen. she knew that she can study this technique later on after Jin-woo makes Aldir a shadow soldier. all she will have to do will be to help Jin-woo with one of his magic experints and it would be all good.
"I will do my best to live up to your expectation My Lord," Queresha spoke with a bow towards Haru.
Zenobia sighed as she looked at the scared look on the faces of the people in the room. This was all clearly intention even if Queresha was normally like this.
'They must be wondering about how powerful Haru himself is since Queresha is acting like this after her showmanship, even if it is a simple trick, it is doing its work properly as at this mont their fear for Haru had far surpassed the fear they felt from the Deities, it is obvious one will fear the sword at their neck rather than one that was far away,' Zenobia thought and waited for Haru to continue the next part of the plan, Her clashes with the royal families aside she still felt pity for them. But that didn't an she would stop Haru from doing this. She has already heard a brief explanation of what the Glayders and Greysunders did which made her indifferent to the matter.
"So shall we talk about so things over tea?" Haru said with a smile making chairs and a big table in front of him with his Wood release.
'Do we have a choice?' That is what was going on in the heads of the Glayders, Eraliths, and Greysunders. But the Eraliths were calr since they knew haru more than the others and they didn't need to worry since they weren't his targets.
'I didn't know he had this kind of side to him,' Zenobia smiled a little seeing at how he was keeping the Greysunders on edge because there were only four more chairs at the table.
After a short talk with everyone, Haru was walking down the destroyed hallways of the castle. The once majestic walls were filled with cracks as the collapsed ceiling was on the ground.
Why is he walking down the hallway you ask?
That is because he waiting for a certain soone to show up.
"You really didn't show rcy Resha?" Haru said while looking around.
"It is what My Lord asked of ," Queresha answered normally walking a little behind Haru along with Zenobia.
"It looked like a nice place," Haru said while shaking his head.
"Do you want a castle, My Lord?" Queresha asked with stars in her eyes.
"No! I think our current house is more than enough, We need to be more conversing of space you know," Haru quickly said before Queresha could go on, he seriously wasn't good with big houses which showed how even after becoming a billionaire in his last world he lived in a 4 BHK apartnt.
"….That is really unfortunate," Queresha said sadly, She was fully ready to build the biggest castle ever if Haru said so. But too bad it looks like she will have to push the project back.
'My Lord won't say no if we have a lot of kids, yes I need to talk with others about this,' Without Haru's knowledge, he was getting sched against by his own wife. But she was right to so extent.
Zenobia was enjoying herself watching the two banter since she could see the new sides to them, It was very refreshing to see the always serious Queresha act like a woman madly in love in front of Haru which broke his always calm deanor, this continued till the one they were waiting ca to them.
"U-Um Mr. Tsugikuni I am sorry to bother you but if there is anything I can do please tell ," Dawsid who ca in front of Haru said while bowing deeply.
'I can't let this chance go, I need to get a strong backing right now, I'll do anything he asks of right even if it is my wife,' Dawsid's mind was in a ss, Too much happened in one day and he was in the worst position right now.
"Hmm, Well since King Greysunder appeared I seem to rember sothing," Haru said while rubbing his chin.
"Please tell , I'll do it, and just call Dawsid there is no need to worry about soone like ," Dawsid said eagerly, seeing that Haru was willing to give him a chance he wasn't going to let this go.
"So Dawsid…..are you still in contact with the Alacryans?" Haru asked with a small smile.

"Fufu, Haru I didn't know you were this evil," Jin-ah spoke looking at Haru as they were having dinner.
'What is evil about that, it was quite basic, The only reason it worked was because I had overwhelming power over them,' Haru rolled his eyes.
"Hae-in and Resha know all about my Evil side you can ask them," Haru said plainly making the two look away from the four prying eyes.
"How many tis have I told you to not talk about this type of thing during als," Kanae spoke while glaring at Haru.
"I didn't say anything bad though, By the way, the Miso soup is great today can I have seconds and a refill on the rice as well," Haru spoke showing an empty bowl.
"Seriously why can't you act like an adult for once, making jokes while eating and eat more rice you are barely eating anything," Kanae said before refilling Haru's food. Though her tone was harsh everyone saw the small smile on her face making a big hill of rice in Haru's bowl.
"And just like that the pure Kanae unnie has been deceived by the devil again," Jin-ah spoke with a regretful expression.
"Tsk Tsk you should be ashad of yourself, How can you do that to soone so pure?" Alea clicked her tongue at Haru and only showed his tongue to both of them.
Zenobia smiled while eating quietly, she really loved these lively dinners at this house. It reminded her of her own family.
'Maybe I should think about what Queresha told ,' Zenobia thought while looking at Haru and a small blush appeared on her face.
