Extra's Harem: Invincibility Starts with Marriage and lots of Children-Chapter 152 - Knowing Clichés Definitely Helps
SWOOOSH
Orion's aura burst was internal energy reacting to the sudden surge in his Qi, anger rushing through him.
The garden stirred.
Not by the wind.
But by his presence.
He took a step forward.

The subtle chime of polished shoes against the garden grass walkways echoed through the banquet lawn. Dressed in silk-black robes embroidered in gold, his steps were soundless yet absolute. Servants, nobles, and even the lesser royals halted mid-conversation. All eyes turned.
Prince Orion.
The host of the evening had finally made his entrance.
One by one, nobles straightened their postures, fixing collars, wiping wine stains, forming lines.
Voices rose in unison.
"Your Highness."
"May the stars favor His Highness!"
"We are honored by your presence, Your Highness."
Many bowed, while others crossed a hand to their chest in the royal salute. Their lips curved with rehearsed smiles, but their eyes—they flickered with unease.
The moment they looked at him, something primal clawed at their hearts.
It was fear.
And then—
"Kneel."
The word left his lips like a divine decree—not shouted, but spoken with such measured gravity that it resonated through their bones.
For a heartbeat, nothing happened.
Then—collapse.
One. Two. Ten.
Like dominoes, the nobles dropped to their knees, gasping, clutching at their chests as if a mountain had settled atop them.
"Ah—!"
"What—what is this?!"
"My legs—!"
One baron attempted to resist, holding his stance with trembling knees.
Just a mere passing by of Orion as he moved forward like a wave, destroying everything in his way, with his eyes directly set on Kyle. The man buckled, his forehead slamming into the cobblestone.
"P-prince—," Ruvina's voice, familiar enough, cut through the place as it reached Orion, who halted his steps in mid-motion and turned to look at her.
Her golden lipstick smeared, hair disheveled, and her eyes blinking with clear confusion, while the fan, which was part of her identity, was now in the hand of Kyle Arcutus, who held a grin looking back at him.
"You shouldn't have touched her," Orion said, coldly looking at Kyle, who stood farther away, with the sound of the woman's screams fading into the background as he and kyle only remained the center of attention. Orion moved, his eyes flaring with rage simply because he saw that man still standing.
Yes, Ruvina didn't matter. Simply because it was a political marriage to gain the support of the Crutrain family, but he would act like she did.
"Stop, Prince, he didn't—" Ruvina, seeing how Orion was moving toward Kyle, tried to stop him, knowing well that if something were to happen to Kyle, he would never reveal the location of her family's lost spear of flames.
"Silence." But what she met with was just a word from Orion, as if several mountains were thrown over her body.
"Kurgh!" Ruvina was pressed down to the ground, her palm landing directly on the dust as she felt the force not coming from above but from her own body, as if the whole atmosphere had become so heavy that her muscles could not respond.
It was internal, as if every cell of her body had become heavier.
'N-no, h-he will kill Kyle!' Her whole body yelled inwardly with eyes hardly lifting to look towards Kyle, who stood there unaware of the strength of Prince Orion, as she let her voice come out in broken pieces, "R-run....Kyle..."
'.....' Kyle, on the other hand, just saw the side he wanted to see, clearly feeling that things were just going as he thought they would. Now he just needed to deliver a severe blow to this Prince Orion who thought he could ever come between Kyle and his wife. 'Let's kill those first.'
With Kyle clearly nonchalant, eating a dumpling he had taken from the food table, he looked around as the noblemen, from the highest-ranking ones to the lesser ones completely supporting Prince Orion, were now on their knees due to his Qi resonance ability.
It felt like a golden opportunity to put an end to everyone just like that.
And tada.
Silence
One thought from Kyle, and every flicker of life, except for dear Ruvina and a few noblemen, vanished.
The screams and voices coming a moment ago from being crushed by Prince Orion's ability suddenly silenced.
Everyone, each one of the noblemen excluding few, died while being suppressed on the ground.
They met a peaceful death at the hands of Kyle, who was now going to frame Prince Orion for killing his own aristocratic support.
He knew Orion was going to use his ability to show that scene from movies where the arrival of the main villain or protagonist makes others kneel without knowing the consequences if that simple show of strength might bite them back.
A cliché entry plot which Kyle just used to his advantage.
And that's exactly what happened here.
"It's fine, Ruvina, I will not kill your fiancé," Kyle just lifted his hand, placing it on his mouth just like Ruvina did, looking towards her as he gave a wink.
Considering not the least, she considered Orion as her fiancé yet he just used it just to taunt them.
After all, now that he had garnered enough curiosity from Ruvina towards him due to the fact that he knew the location of the Spear of Flames, there were chances for him to seduce her into falling for him.
'System, is she qualified?' Kyle just inquired, looking towards Ruvina, considering her earlier words of anxiousness and worry towards him had touched his heart.
But of course, what touched him more was the fact that he just helped his wife a big time by cleaning up the noblemen without even Orion being aware of it as he arrived just two steps away from Kyle.
"Kyle Arcutus, how amusing. I was wondering why my ability wasn't working on you, but it turns out that you're just a wiggling mortal," Orion narrowed his gaze, looking down at Kyle as he closed his eyes before opening them wide, snapping as the sudden burst of killing intent surged from him directly towards Kyle.
'Meh,' Kyle, who was now seeing dozens of EXP, stats, and bloodlines lying all over the banquet garden venue, just took a side step and hid himself behind Mialthara, considering he should be playing Subway Surfer here and collecting coins rather than fighting this guard before adding, "Prince Orion, I would like to solve this peacefully as you might also not want to fight this hot woman."
DING!

'Shall we break this engagement then?'
