Back at An's mansion, Linda was taking care of Rachel. First, she convinced the girl to take a shower and eat something, and both of them spent some time talking about useless things.
Rachel never thought she would be so happy to have a harem sister. She and Linda really felt like true close friends.
"Will everything really be okay?" Rachel asked, still worried about Elizabeth.
"Are you really worried about that dumb blonde?" Eliza said as she stepped into the room, having overheard the conversation. "She won't do anything to you; her influence is nothing compared to the Tay Clan."
Proudly, Eliza puffed out her chest. She felt a personal rivalry with Elizabeth, as both were young, promising women from the two largest clans in Hilan City.
"But don't they say the Tay Clan is behind the Sun Clan in terms of influence, power, and history?" Rachel asked reflexively.
Eliza's smile faltered, her temple twitching as an annoyed vein pulsed beneath her skin. "Who told you that nonsense?" she snapped, her voice dripping with irritation.
Before her temper could flare any further, Linda gently placed a hand on her sister's shoulder. "Calm down, Eliza. She didn't mean anything by it," she said softly, giving Rachel an apologetic look.
Eliza huffed, crossing her arms and looking away, though her pride still burned in her eyes.
"Besides, she is not wrong; the clan's head would never enter a conflict with Elizabeth, you know that," Linda pointed out.
"Yeah…" Eliza let out a deep sigh.
A long time ago, she had beaten Elizabeth up at school, all because the blonde had provoked her. But the situation ended with the Tay Clan forcing Eliza to apologize, since they couldn't afford a conflict with the Sun Clan.
Not that any of it mattered anymore, after all…
"That bitch is so screwed now," Eliza said with a childish grin. "You don't have to worry, Ana will take care of everything."
"Who's Ana?" Rachel asked, confused.
"Another one of Nolan's women," Linda explained with a bright smile. "She's a bit extreme and weird, but she's fun. I'm sure you'll like her."
"She's the blonde who broke into your apartment," Eliza added in a simpler tone. "She owns this mansion, and the little girl who brought us here is her servant."
Rachel nodded. She remembered Ana. In fact, she remembered how stunning and busty the woman was.
Fuck, it's not a fair competition, she thought, biting her lower lip. Rachel couldn't help but notice how every girl in Nolan's harem seemed to have magnificent, huge breasts... except her.
The smallest pair she knew, besides her own, belonged to Eliza, and even hers were considerably bigger than Rachel's.
"But why is the Sun Clan in trouble? Is Ana really that important?" Linda asked.
"Right, you don't know about it…" Eliza murmured.
Ana's face wasn't famous; on the contrary, just a few influential people would know about her and her lineage.
"Well, to put things short, do you know Katherine Aurora?"
"You mean the one from the five sits?" Linda asked in shock.
There wasn't a single soul in the world who hadn't heard of Katherine. Renowned as the second strongest woman alive and the leader of the Five Seats, the council that governed the World Order, her name alone commanded respect and awe.
"Ana's mother is Katherine's right-hand woman," Eliza continued her explanation. She turned to Rachel. "So, skinny bitch, you don't need to worry even a little. Elizabeth can't even dream about escaping this situation."
"Hmm…" Rachel agreed with a nod.
Both she and Linda were more than a little surprised. They had never expected Ana to be someone so influential.
"Then, just who is Nolan?" Rachel asked in shock. "How could he convince a woman like Ana to be part of a harem?"
"I don't know," Eliza admitted.
Meanwhile, Linda chuckled softly. Considering how downright crazy and horny Ana was, it wasn't hard to imagine what had convinced her to obey Nolan.
"But I think he is probably invincible in one-on-one combat," Eliza remarked, remembering her own fight against him.
She had clearly felt how all of her mana stopped flowing. If he could do that to any woman, he could turn any fight into a pure contest of strength. And his imposing muscles made it clear no one would be beating him in such a fight... at least, not in this world.
Anyway, Eliza decided not to speak more about the subject. Soon after, Ana showed up. More specifically, Mika teleported her and Nolan back to the mansion.
However, what caught the girls' attention was that Nolan was in Ana's arms, his eyes closed as he slept profoundly.
Seeing the relatively small girl carrying a giant, muscular man like Nolan might have been a funny sight in another world, but in this dimension, it was natural.
"Is he okay?" Linda immediately got up, worried when she saw Nolan.
"Yes, don't worry," Ana reassured her, adjusting her grip on his sleeping form. "He's just exhausted. He will be completely fine by tomorrow morning."
"Then we should put him to sleep," Eliza suggested.
All girls agreed, and with coordinated effort, they guided Ana as she carried Nolan to the master suite of her mansion.
They pulled back the plush duvet on the enormous bed, and Ana lay him down with tenderness. He sank into the mattress, his breathing deep and even, not stirring once.
For a moment, they watched him, their powerful protector rendered vulnerable by exhaustion.
A silent understanding passed between them. One by one, they leaned in to place a soft, lingering kiss on his lips, wishing him good dreams.
No words were needed. They exchanged glances, and a unanimous decision was made. They wouldn't leave him to sleep alone.
Moving quietly, they slipped into the vast bed beside him, arranging themselves around his large frame.
Linda curled against his side, her head on his shoulder. Rachel nestled against his other side, her hand resting gently on his chest. Eliza spooned his back, her arm draping over his waist, while Ana, claiming her right, curled up atop his legs like a protective feline.
