--Yue's POV--
Yue was currently sat in the cargo bay, smiling at the scene of Myu trying to escape Shia's embrace whiles asking Riveria for help. If one could read her thoughts, they might wander how she's smiling at the object of her envy.
' How can I get ahead of her? If things are left this way she might be his favorite even with my role of keeping the harem in check'
'How was Riveria the only one to know the real him? How could I have missed it when he spends most nights with me?'
'It looks like I have to double my efforts '
Yue sighed through her 'smile' and thought back to her past whiles she closed her eyes
Even though she doesn't remember much during the times before her betrayal and imprisonment, Yue knew that she was content using her innate ability and talents to lead the Vampire nation into "a new era" as they would say.
In a blink of an eye, she was betrayed by her most trusted aid– her uncle, and spent an unknown time in darkness with no means of a hopeful release by death.
And for the first time in a long time she felt some heat in her cold hell along with her hope– a young man with bluish white hair and golden eyes that glittered brightly in the darkness.
And with her release came an exciting adventure through the underground world that housed her sealing room that once held her. It was during the fight with the Hydra when Ken passed through the barrages of magical attacks and saved her did she feel like it wouldn't be bad to trust again.
When Ken was bathing after he arose from his exhaustion, Yue gathered the courage to try and bond with him but learnt of his intention to build a harem.
That was a huge hit to her, after all she was a noble, better yet a queen, so the idea of sharing her man was bitter but in the heat of the moment she didn't think further and bonded with him becoming each other's first, sort of.
Yue was very happy and inwardly thankful, when Ken gave her the ring as a symbol of her authority to choose who shall be her sister-in-bed. At first she planned to choose none whiles she slowly changed Ken's mind but she later noticed that every girl who joined their party was dependable, beautiful and strong or had such potential.
She was in a state of internal disarray thinking she might lose what she now had, but the [Light of Apocalypse] showed her a way; to be queen of his heart and harem by supporting most of his desires and placing herself at the fore front of it.
But he went 180° on the idea of " Queen of the Harem" and put Yue through what she could only be described as psychological torture.
"Being Queen means serving and being the best and brightest in the eyes of your subjects", Ken said as he 'forced' Yue into cooking and other domestic chores whenever they had free time during their journey.
'If that's what it takes to be first in his heart, then so be it
I don't care about the past, from now on it's a start '.
Yue opens her eyes with renewed determination and drive which was directed at Riveria, who held Myu in her embrace.

Shia's POV---
Shia currently was with her arms crossed as she pouted at Myu escape from her caring embrace. But she couldn't stay that way for long when every moment since she left her tribe was an expected banger. Sitting with people who were like her and cherished her innate gift which brought fear to most beyond her tribe.
She couldn't help herself as she went down memory lane to remind herself why she changed her passive self.
There wasn't much to her life, other than living in constant fear of when her gifts would lead to her death and that of her tribe's. Even as she begged them to let her go, they stood by her side as they faced opposition from many sides.
Wanting to prevent the annihilation of her tribe and family, Shia did everything she could to activate her gift that she couldn't control and her foresight showed her three powerful individuals.
After her tribe was saved, she decided to be influenced by them and change for the better or worse, it was all about having the strength to change her visions and the future of her loved ones.
Eventually putting her innate abilities to good use.
Even though Ken told her that she didn't need to think that having sex with him would make her belong to the party since she's proven herself in Miledi's Labyrinth, Shia was curious about what her parents had and what Ken and Yue were building.
And even though it was a shocker that the one who hasn't had sex with him was the one could potentially be his favorite, Shia has already decided to use this opportunity to carve a personal space in Ken's heart.

Koari's POV---
Koari just sat with her eyes wondering around as she seemed to smile at everything. Even though she hasn't known them for long, Koari really enjoyed their company as she evaluated them, who could be her best friend's love rival in the future.
Before and after they took flight, she has been feeling a massive shift in the atmosphere among the girls. And as far as she's seen, her friend will be late to the race that the determination in their eyes indicate is ongoing.
And yes, sometimes she feels inferior to them for their combat abilities and their overall appearance but more than that she's thankful that she has Hagime to herself at least for now. And if... IF there are others in the future, she will try and be open-minded about it since she knows Hagime's principle in regards to relationship– he wants his woman to love only him, so he responds in kind by loving only her– , and she will show them whose first.
After all these thoughts run through her idle mind, she looks at Hagime and Ken who were talking in the cockpit, and then back to Ken's girls;
'You're missing all the fun and excitement, Shizuku'
