Supreme Harem God System novel Chapter 2248

Chapter 2248: Authority of Universe’s First Goddess.

"What do you mean?"

Shadow frowned, even though she wanted to explain herself, Felberta’s words attracted her attention.

And Felberta—

"Allura."

She said a name.

"Can you look into her mind and see if she is hiding something from us?"

"Huh...?"

Shadow blinked slowly, still half wrapped in sheets, still trying to drag her thoughts out of sleep.

And when the meaning of those words finally reached her—

"Read her mind...?"

She repeated in a low, uncertain voice.

For a moment, the entire room went quiet.

Shadow’s eyes moved from Felberta to the others. Aeliana’s stare was sharp. Lyriana’s eyes looked cold enough to cut. Skyla leaned forward like she was about to explode with curiosity. Even Lane, who usually kept her tone calm, looked somewhat tense.

Shadow sat up slightly, pulling the black silk higher. Of course, the women didn’t care about these people looking at her naked body—

in fact, if the mood was any lighter, she would have jumped on them naked just to annoy them.

But right now, she could sense the strange solemnity in the mood—solemnity so strong that even she didn’t feel like it was the right moment to pull a stunt like that.

Therefore, she held back her urges and levelled herself with the rest of the room.

"I... don’t usually do that,"

She muttered with an uncertain look on her face.

Felberta didn’t say anything; she just watched her. Almost as if she was giving Shadow time to correct herself.

But Shadow didn’t give in.

She *couldn’t* give in.

"It crosses a boundary,"

She tried to explain herself.

"I don’t like stepping into someone’s head unless I have to."

And for a moment, it seemed like what she was saying made sense—

that it *would* work and the women would listen to Shadow and drop the idea.

But then—

"Don’t think we forgot what you did to Sharnoth."

Amaya’s cold voice cut through the silence and in an instant—

Shadow froze.

Her eyes widened a little, as if trying to recall what Amaya was talking about. Then, when her still sleepy mind finally made the link, her gaze shifted away.

And slowly... she rubbed the back of her head, as if her skull itself was uncomfortable under that sentence.

"...Ah."

The guilt was obvious.

She tried to smile.

It came out sheepish.

"That was... a mistake,"

Shadow said, like she was confessing to stealing sweets, not breaking a rule inside the family.

Then, she used the method that worked all the time—

smiling brightly and acting cute.

"I mean, you know what kind of situation she had put me into, I had no oth—"

"Enough."

Amaya waved her hand as if she was swatting away smoke.

"I don’t care."

Her dark black eyes narrowed.

"Do what you are told."

She ordered in her same cold voice and—

Shadow’s smile died.

She did not like being ordered around like that.

But at the same time, Amaya’s tone made her realize that the situation was much more serious than she previously believed.

She frowned, then, instead of Amaya—who clearly seemed on edge—she glanced at Felberta instead.

"Why?"

She asked.

"Why do you want me to do this?"

"She seems to be hiding something,"

Felberta answered in a simple manner.

Shadow stared at her for a moment and then—

"...And you want to read her mind because of that?"

She raised an eyebrow.

"Yes,"

Felberta, however, despite the look Shadow was giving her, did not step back.

And Shadow—

"Haaaahh..."

She exhaled as her body leaned back slightly, eyes half-open, thinking.

"Nux didn’t like it last time."

She muttered to herself—well, at least that was how she acted. But it was clear she was trying to come up with an excuse and she wanted the women to hear her.

Her gaze flickered to Amaya for a second, then back to Felberta.

"He doesn’t like when I use that power,"

Shadow spoke directly.

"He said it’s... invasive, and Sharnoth’s family now. I can’t use the power on family, else I’d be peeking into your minds every chance I get.

So sorry, no matter how much you want it, I won’t do something that would make Nux sad."

The moment those words left her mouth—

"Just do it."

Felberta snapped.

Of course, unlike Amaya, her voice wasn’t loud, but it was sharp enough to make everyone flinch. After all, Felberta rarely lost her calm like that.

And that outburst made Shadow blink, almost moving back a little.

Felberta, however, stepped forward. Then, she looked into Shadow’s eyes with a clear, clean look on her face.

"Do it.

I will take full responsibility,"

She declared.

"If Nux asks, I’ll tell him it was my decision. I’ll tell him I pushed you. I’ll tell him I forced this."

Shadow stared at her.

"You’re serious,"

She whispered.

The Universe’s First Goddess could tell Felberta wasn’t bluffing.

She was serious.

Something was bothering her and... she wanted to know what it was.

Felberta nodded.

"Find what she has been hiding,"

She requested.
