Dragon King's Harem Chapter 265. Ambush I
Across the expanse of the grand hall, the chaos echoed beyond my own encounter. I caught a glimpse of Eir and Guillotine, locked in their own battles against the traitorous dancers.
In an instant, the vibrant atmosphere of the hall transformed into an eerie hush, as if the very air had been sucked out of the room. The once-joyful symphony of chatter, laughter, and music dissipated, replaced by a tension that crackled in the silence.
In a startling display of unity, the clan leaders, previously engaged in their own revelries, revealed their true colors. With determination etched upon their faces, they drew forth their weapons, each glimmering blade reflecting the sinister intent. Their eyes fixed upon us, the targets of their deceit.
Like a slowly encircling storm, orc soldiers closed in around us, their hulking figures a formidable presence. Each one emanated a raw, primal power, ready to unleash their savagery upon us at a moment's notice. Their muscular frames and battle-hardened expressions left no doubt that they were prepared to carry out their deadly orders without hesitation.
Not only were the clan leaders and orc soldiers aligned against us, but even the seemingly innocent maids and servants revealed their true identities.
I cast a piercing gaze across the room, my displeasure was evident on my face as I took in the scene that had unfolded before me. My attention shifted towards Burz, a fake mixture of frustration and disappointment etched upon my features. "What does all of this mean, Burz?" I questioned, my voice tinged with discontent. At that moment, I chose not to acknowledge his elevated status.
With a quick mental adjustment, I decided to play along, maintaining the illusion that their scheme had succeeded in weakening me. The shock painted across my face, my voice trembling with feigned concern. "Eir!" I exclaimed, my tone filled with a mixture of worry and disbelief. I projected an image of shock, as though I had witnessed his sudden decline firsthand.
Feigning a display of my own powers, I conjured flames in the palm of my hand, allowing them to dance and flicker momentarily. But just as quickly as they appeared, I dissipated the flames, as though the effort had proven too great for my weakened state. It was a calculated move to further solidify the belief that the poison had taken a toll on my abilities.
"W-What?!" I stammered, my voice betraying a mix of astonishment and vulnerability. I made sure to inject a touch of confusion into my words as if struggling to comprehend the magnitude of the situation unfolding before me. It was crucial to maintain the illusion that the orc's poison had succeeded in shaking my resolve and weakening my powers.
