How to Survive as a Princess in a Reverse Harem Game - Chapter 84
As Reno froze in shock, Nepheli’s sweet mana flowed into him, mingling with her saliva. The intensity was on a completely different level compared to when he had initiated the kiss earlier to draw mana from her.
At some point, Nepheli had wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him close.
She clung to him, overwhelming his inexperience, and continued to pour mana into him relentlessly.
It wasn’t just mana that transferred. Heat began to surge through his entire body.
Most of the heat pooled in his lower abdomen, an unbearable warmth that churned and demanded attention. While his lower body started to make its presence known, another desire was even more urgent.
I want to be closer. Just a little more, I want to taste this soft skin, to touch this tender flesh I’ve never explored before.
It was a craving he had never experienced before.
Yet, beyond this point, Reno was at a loss. He vaguely understood what might come next, but now that the situation was unfolding, he was utterly confused.
Do I take off her clothes? Can I even do that? And even if I do—what happens after that?
Reno’s hand wandered hesitantly along Nepheli’s waist, trembling with indecision.
In the air above them, faint green particles began to shimmer and fall. It was his spirit.
―Lord! The black-haired human is approaching!
The ‘black-haired human” the spirit referred to was Isaac. Spirits only became bound to their summoner once given a name, and despite their reverence for names, they often cared little for anything outside their contractor.
The spirit’s announcement jolted Reno back to reality, as if being yanked awake from an intoxicatingly blissful dream he never wanted to end.
I don’t want to stop. But I should.
Suppressing the conflict raging within him, Reno gripped Nepheli’s hands and gently pried them away from his neck. Yet his effort proved futile as she clung to him even tighter.
“Your Highness, this is enough…….”
“A-ah… hmph~ more… just a little more…….”
The relentless flood of mana overwhelmed Reno, washing away any trace of rational thought. Even the name he had just heard—Isaac—faded into insignificance.
There was no way out. On the surface, it seemed like Nepheli was clinging to him, but in reality, Reno was the one being consumed. He continued to absorb the mana she poured into him without end.
Knock, knock.
Then came a knock at the door.
“This is Isaac Harsen. I’m coming in.”
The door opened, and Isaac stepped inside. He showed no surprise at the sight of Nepheli tangled with Reno. Instead, he calmly closed the door behind him and walked toward the bed.
“You may step aside now, Reno. I’ll handle the rest.”
Isaac’s voice was steady, his movements deliberate as he approached. He gently grasped Nepheli’s arms, pulling her away from Reno. Just as her breath escaped from Reno’s lips, a surge of longing gripped him, and he instinctively reached for her.
“Huuh, I-Isaac……?”
“Yes, Your Highness. I’m here.”
Her voice was faint, but the way she called his name was unmistakable. Nepheli’s flushed face brushed against the back of Isaac’s hand as she panted softly.
“I-Isaac… Ha~ah…… Please…… I… It’s too much, hngh…….”
Isaac naturally took Reno’s place, silently gesturing for him to step back. Slowly edged out of the way, Reno finally managed to move his feet, retreating from the room.
Even outside the bedroom, he could still hear Nepheli’s desperate voice calling out to Isaac.
As he listened, Reno slowly clenched the hand that had just moments ago reached for her. A whirlwind of unidentifiable emotions surged within him.

I slowly opened my eyes. The distinct amber glow of a lamp filled the space. Apart from the areas touched by its light, the room remained cloaked in darkness, a clear sign it was night.
Blinking in a daze, I noticed an unbearable dryness in my throat, as though I’d been burning up with a fever.
‘Water……. I need water…….’
I tried to sit up when I heard a rustling sound nearby, followed by a low voice.
“Are you all right, Your Highness?”
“……Isaac?”
“Yes.”
Wait, why is he here……?
Startled, I turned to look at him, but my gaze quickly shifted to the floating message window, which jogged my memory.
[―Current Mana Accumulation: 54% (Normal)]
Ah, right…… I was on the verge of losing control.
Judging by the now-normal numbers, it seemed Isaac had managed to resolve the situation somehow, though I had no recollection of how.
‘At least I didn’t die.’
