Harem Overlord

"So how are we gonna see the memories?" Sahara asked as Kai teleported them to one of the many unoccupied rooms in the library.

"We can see them through easily like watching a movie. However, there are some things that you should know. The memories we would see would be from the three person's perspective so please don't say that 'that's stupid' or ask 'what the hell are they doing?!'. You won't get the reply to such questions."

"Quit joking around or I will elbow you in the ribs."

"I wasn't joking." Kai sighed before he focused on his pendant and with that, summoned the three souls inside it.

"Can we see the two subordinates' memories together so that we could focus on the man's at once?" Sahara asked as Kai nodded.

He took out two white balls of light and after raising them in front of him, Kai summoned their memories.

"I wish I could have burned him alive."

"Sahara, I think you made the right choice by asking me to show both of their memories together."

"I always make the right decision. You just don't believe me."

"Now some decisions you have made are questionable but let's not go there. We still have the main guy's memories to see before we go to other realms." Kai replied and took out the last soul from his pendant.

The memories started from showing the guy as a kid and the duo saw that he was taught many questionable things.

"So demons are depicted as the epitome of evil, a supposed god is depicted as the all mighty and merciful while angels are his servants. I wonder who came up with that." Sahara wondered as the man's life started to fast forward.

After a few years, he got married and took the village leader's place. And a year later, he had twins, two daughters.

"But he doesn't seem happy with two daughters," Sahara observed.

"Looks like he wanted a boy to continue his lineage or some shit," Kai replied as they continued to watch.

And much to their surprise, the wife of the man looked extremely unhappy with her husband. Maybe it was because that she had been forced into the marriage by her parents.

And that is why she was planning to escape with her two daughters.

"Looks like the exit is somewhere hidden and only the village leader knows about it," Kai commented as Sahara nodded.

"The previous leader definitely passes on the location to the next leader when he is chosen." She added as they saw the woman, who was Mila's mother, questioning the man about the exit.

She was good at weaving a curtain of lies and the man didn't look as though he had caught on that his wife was lying. However, when the woman was about to escape.

The man came after her with the entire village saying that a demon had corrupted her and she had to be purified. But the woman was quick and she somehow managed to escape from the man and the villagers' clutches.

However, her children weren't so lucky. When she had reached the talent, one of the village soldiers had caught on to her and had been tightly clutching her.

With no choice left, she bit his hand and dropped one of her children in his hand. She then found the pot that was the exit from the place and alongside one of her children, left the place.

Both Kai and Sahara could imagine what had happened next. The remaining child had been taken back to the village leader and the man had been rewarded.

The next few years, they saw how strict the man was with Mila. Her entire life was dictated by her father.

She wasn't allowed to leave her home, she wasn't allowed to eat what she wanted and when she wanted. She wasn't even allowed to talk to anyone else.

The soldier who had gotten Mila from her mother had a boy around her age too. And Mila's father had taken a liking to both the boy and the soldier.

So when both Mila and the boy were 17, her father announced that she would be married to the boy and he would give his position to the boy.

Seeing this, Kai was reminded of Jiyai, the woman he, Mia, and Mariel had met when they had first gone to the Central continent.

She had been in somewhat of a similar situation however, Mila's case was much worse. Perhaps it was because of her being a sin or perhaps simply because she was reincarnated by Kai's wish.

But no one knew the answer to that.

"Sahara, do you mind if you watch the rest of it alone? When it's over, you will be teleported outside the memories and the soul would automatically come back to me." Kai replied as Sahara nodded.

She didn't question him much as he exited the memories. This was because she knew the toll it was taking on Kai to realize that it was his fault that Mila had suffered this much.

Sahara had wanted to tell him that it was not his fault but she knew that would only make things much harder for him. After all, Kai had a really bad habit of thinking that most bad things that happened were his fault.

"I wish he would change but then, he was like this back when he was practicing with all of us back in the special realm," Sahara muttered with a sigh as she continued to watch the memories play in front of her.

And she had to admit, her blood was boiling when she saw a ten years old Mila getting hit.

"Hey Mila, I wonder what you would say right now if you were looking at me," Kai muttered to himself as he appeared beside Mila who was still sleeping.

He stared at her for a few seconds before he went forward and touched her forehead. He gently checked her mind for a seal and found it.

And it was exactly what he had expected after he had seen how Mila's father had treated her.

"A trauma seal…"
