Extra's Harem: Invincibility Starts with Marriage and lots of Children-Chapter 151- Orion’s Arrival

As they walked through the royal streets toward the banquet hall, the golden embroidery on Prince Orion's flowing robe shimmered beneath the lantern light.

He moved with composed elegance, hands folded behind his back, followed closely by a small entourage.

Among them walked Prince Alden, his gaze narrowed, his thoughts distant—focused not on the grandeur around him but on the faint possibility of encountering Princess Aleriana.

To Alden, she wasn't just a royal figure. She was a symbol—an answer to a question he hadn't dared to ask aloud.

Aleriana had achieved what his own mother believed to be impossible for a girl.

She shattered every constraint, every expectation.

She existed as a girl wielding a sword, standing toe-to-toe with princes, even surpassing some of them. And she did it without needing to shed her identity.

That image haunted Alden—in a way that both inspired and tortured.

For someone like him, cursed since birth by his own mother and forced to live under the illusion of boyhood, Aleriana's existence was like a cruel miracle.

He couldn't even think of himself as a girl without pain lancing through his mind, a twisted curse his mother had woven deep into his being, as if just acknowledging his truth would defy fate itself.

So he wore the mask. A mask given the moment he was born.

The mask of a son his mother wanted, rather than the daughter he was.

Every step he took in his polished boots, every time someone called him "Prince Alden," was a step further from himself.

And yet… seeing Aleriana—even the thought of her—was enough to light a spark inside him.

A defiant warmth.

A yearning.

She was the girl who never stopped being a girl, even when the world begged her to become something else.

And he… he was the girl who never got the chance to be.

"Alden, don't go following Aleriana if she is at the banquet," Orion said firmly, moving his hand behind, warning his sister, who was now a brother, against making foolish mistakes.

"...y..yes," Alden just replied.

"Pfft."

With eyes downcast, Alden heard the other two walking with him laughing, knowing well that, just like everyone, they also thought of him as someone who had a crush on Princess Aleriana, maybe even more than that. But all the time, Alden was searching for his own identity in Princess Aleriana, just fighting and trying to be like her.

He definitely stalked her whenever he got the time, simply to know how a girl should act, how, even being a woman, she had strength while not letting any harm come to her in any form that might threaten her identity.

There were no feelings, just a chase for his own identity.

What made Aleriana different from him? A simple question lingered in Alden's mind, the answer to which he was chasing.

"Ahem, by the way, Prince, why are we not going by carriage? Shouldn't we have a royal entry?" one of the men following behind him asked, looking towards Orion. He thought about why they weren't entering the banquet with the carriage, even though it was hosted in the mansion they stood in. Following tradition must show their own status. As he coughed, he clearly felt how childish Prince Alden was to still inquire about Princess Aleriana, given that she had definitely just offended Prince Orion.

"It's best to see surprise and then let others be shocked rather than simply stating our presence with a bow of greetings. It lets us see how their faces normally look before turning into one full of fear," Orion uttered, his eyes closed as he moved, clearly composed.

He thought about how his entrance would most likely be quiet, as everyone would be engaged in their own conversations, dealing with their business while perhaps even thinking of finding a way to separate the Alliance from him now that exorcism had vanished.

He had decided to embed their faces in his memory before his arrival, and then, after he crossed them, he would regard them as insects.

After all, it is a fact that people normally have two faces, one of which is revealed at crucial moments, either when they are betraying someone or when they are facing death.

"Indeed, a wise choice, Your Highness," the other one said with clear amusement, nodding. They followed behind him, given their own status as ministers personally hired by the second queen. They were most likely the arms of Prince Orion, following him as his guard.

Though, of course, with the Prince's strength, he did not need their help, yet they were there, accompanying him towards the banquet venue.

"Don't announce my arrival," With a hand gesture he firmly told the guards not to announce his presence in the banquet as he entered through the back door, clearly waiting for everyone to look in his direction simply to be surprised, and then their change of expression would bring the utmost satisfaction to him as he would walk over their crawling bodies.

"Did you just see, Lady Ruvina definitely had some affair with Kyle Arcutus?"

"Now that I think about it, it definitely is possible, but Kyle Arcutus?"

"Didn't you see that fan in Kyle Arcutus's hand?"

"Isn't Kyle Arcutus banished from the Duke family? Is this why Lady Ruvina is now approaching him so boldly?"

'.....' Orion halted at the entrance; the moment due to his announcement, his ears were filled with the single name resonating throughout the murmur of the nobility.

As their gazes were not at the entrance, but settled at a distance towards a young man standing with a fan beside a woman dressed in red holding a cat. Yet for Orion, he definitely did not like it.

The whole venue seemed much calmer than he had thought, looking coldly towards everything while feeling that none of the individuals seemed to care about his arrival, while their words made him think for a moment.

'Ruvina and Kyle?' From none of them did he hear the name of Princess Adriana as he focused on the conversation to know the whole matter and only to find that Ruvina had pulled away Kyle from the eyes of people and after some time arrived back in that state, making him clearly enraged as she was his fiancée.

Ruvina Crutrain was fiancée of Prince Orion. Was the fact known to everyone yet they were talking such blasphemous words aloud?
