Husband Thief will be out on April 4th. Let's dive into the prologue...

PS: The new novel might not be related to Men of the harem at all, but mostly everything I post and discuss about is, so please keep in mind that this analysis supports the theory that this work will be a spin-off, and take everything with a grain of salt. Sorry if I'm bias! 1. Why is the title relevant?

Husband thief or Husband stealer. Among all the words we can link Latil to, "husband", must be one of the most frequent ones. She ended having eight husbands after all.

But what about the title in itself? See, the term, reminds me a lot of another, "man stealer", which is sadly used to call a person -usually a woman- who takes a man away from his partner. Regardless of how awful that term sounds, it could have something to do with Latil. The question isn’t how, it’s who, who could claim Latil has taken away her man/ husband from her?

In fact, there are two women who come to my mind: Domis and Arital.

You know what's something that was never clear to me? Carlein and Girgol always acted like they were so sure that Latil was indeed the reincarnation of their past lovers, to the point that I became intrigued of what would happen if she wasn’t? 2. The secrets behind the cover.

A woman that looks very similar to Latil stands-out for her pale skin, with flowers in her hair, and a ring in her finger that connects her to someone by a thorny trail. What appears to be male hand is behind holding her shoulder. The eyes and the skin

The eyes look amber, and Latil's are dark brown. But it actually isn’t illogical to consider a change of tone in the midst of her slow awakening process. The pale skin and lips also give her a vampirical appareance, which could too be indicative of this transformation. The hair

Eight roses adorn her hair. Eight, just like the number of consorts Latil has. This wouldn’t be the first time they use roses to represent each one of her husbands. Remember that one panel for the second season promo? She’s in the throne and many hands are offering roses to her. If you look closely, you'll also notice how seven of these roses are turning white. This, I believe, is a way of representing a fading love. Roses turn white when they burn, just like ashes. Ashes of love.

The ring and the thorny trail

I believe these are the most evident symbols. The ring is strategically placed in the marriage finger, which is highly related to the nupcial theme. But the thorny trail reminds me of the red thread theory and the thread of fate.

This could be representing the painful fate that every Lord is submitted to in his or her life. It could also mean that whoever the red thread is connecting her to, that love will be full of challenging and hurtful steps. The hand

The hand behind her is the most confusing of all the elements. We can see a ring in the hand that could indicate that is one of her husbands, but I don't know if it's shown in a positive or negative light. So I'll save my opinions for later.

3. What are they showing us in the extracts?

At first sight, some might think the pre-release isn’t telling us much, but I disagree.

"Your marriage, it's ruined once again."

The opening line is so important. Not only is it hinted that this person's could have been married before, but we can also guess that marriage ended terribly for them at least once. I can see this being related to Latil, not primarily because of the harem, but because of her alleged past-lives... For instance, Arital warned her about having children since her marriage and family had been ruined by fate before.

I want to take a moment to point out that, in my opinion, Arital is the turning point of this theory. Where do I start?

"Can I tell you something for the last time? Do you know what was the worst thing that ever happened to me? Loving you."

When I read this, I immediately thought about the concept of unrequited love, and in the beginning it seemed like the only two consorts who fit perfectly in my idea of it were Sonnaught and Guesta.

Sonnaught lost his feelings once and deeply regretted falling in love with Latil at the time. Guesta, on the other hand, isn't afraid to show his true colors in front her anymore, he allows himself to be angry when he is. So it wouldn't be surprising if any of them ever say this, right?

However, that's when the third paragraph called my attention.

"Her face was reflected in the pupils of those blue eyes."

The only consort we know who has blue eyes is Klein. If these lines are truly about the same person, then this one discards anyone who isn't him. Okay, I can't imagine him acting like this, but I guess it's not impossible. Unless... there's someone else.

Yup, I admit I didn't pay enough attention to the second paragraph, but having already reread it a few times, there's something I can't ignore.

Their hands, which were never close together before, were now desperate to push each other away.

Not even think about Latil's husbands. Imagine we aren't considering the spin-off option. Imagine we believe exactly what's apparent: There's a ML who has blue eyes, he's married to the FL and they're on the verge of dying together.

How come, I repeat, HOW COME a man who's been married to the FL never had his hands near hers? Yeah, definitely, this could be just a weird wording, but something there didn't sit quite right. So I put my memory to work... and yes there's someone: The chairman.

The Chairman, a beautiful blue-eyed elf who fall in love with his great friend, Arital. He witnessed her and Girgol's marriage fall, and not only that, he's tried to kill Latil in the past to free the soul of his lost love from the terrible course set by fate. Time is also very relevant to his character, because he's lived a long time, long enough that he's seen many Lords come and go.

For all of this, I believe the extract is showing us the Chairman's last attempt to kill Latil and get rid of the course.

Now, I can't help but remember how I couldn't really understand why the Chairman, Arital, Sell and Girgol were mentioned so much in the side stories. And maybe this was the reason, maybe Alphatart wanted to set the ground to have them shine in her next work.

Anyways. This, friends, is my theory. Enjoy!

Sincerely,

Gobi

Hello! Can I request a Guesta Rhodes x Dom male reader? He's my favorite even though he can be a snake.

⎮Taming the Snake⎮

⏤ Characters: Guesta ⎮ reader

⏤ Including: nsfw (-17) & sfw

⏤ Warnings: sub/bottom Guesta, top/dom male reader, brat-taming, fingering, cum eating

⏤ 3.000 words

It has already been only a month since you became the emperor, your sister, Latil, never left your side. Even when you told her you were planning to take male consorts instead of women.

Surprisingly, the nobles took this announcement nicely, since you were always quite open about your preferences, they knew what they were getting into when they supported you during the war against your brother, Thula. The next day, after your coronation, you announced your choice, asking for five consorts. A number that you will maybe increase later.

From this day, you met those five men, and you had interesting interactions with them, each of them having an intriguing and attractive behaviour. Your favourite became Guesta within a few days, unfortunately for the other consorts. Despite his calm and innocent attitude in front of you, you knew he was not that sweet with the others, his cunning personality being hidden from you.

Till now, it did not bother you since nobody complained about him or his actions, but sadly it did not last long, Klein came to you this morning, accusing Guesta of purposely ruining some of his belongings. You could only sigh and hope Klein will let it go, but knowing him, he was going to make a scene instead of playing smart. Picking a side was not your favourite thing to do, at least Tasir and Carlein weren't troublemakers.

After ruffling his hair and promising to take care of the matter, you ask him to go back to his room, sending maids at the same time to clean the mess. You were already too tired, and it was only the morning. You bury your head in your hands with a long sigh, seems like you need to talk with Guesta later. You send Sonnaught away with a single hand gesture after finishing your paperwork, and decide to head to the library. And your instinct was right because he was sitting on the windowsill with a book you recommended to him in his hands.

The noise of the door closing behind you makes him jump, his head shot up, showing you a frightened expression which disappear the second he saw you. You could only observe with an amused smile how he could change the atmosphere around him this quickly as if he was not emitting a deadly aura just before. Maybe next time you will knock before entering. With his innocent behaviour back, you sit beside him in silence.

“Your majesty, are you here to spend some time with me?”

If you did not know better, this gentle voice and those kind eyes could fool you. But you noticed how he was glaring at Klein this morning when you were talking to him, observing you from the library's window. Perhaps you should teach him a lesson, but for now, you decided to play nice.

“I hear that you purposely wrecked Klein's room. Is that true?”

“Your majesty, I would never do this!”

“… You would not dare lie to me, right? Guesta.”

And, unsurprisingly, he gave you those puppy eyes hoping to make you believe him. You take some seconds to inspect his face, trying to make him nervous. As seconds turn into minutes you could see him starting to scowl, fighting the urge to glare at you. His hands clenched, his arms started to shake and his glaring intensifies. Even more when Klein entered the room unannounced, asking for you. Before Guesta could lose it fully, you ask Klein to leave, claiming an important and private discussion.

Thankfully he leaves without making a fuss, Guesta thought it has distracted you from the original topic and suddenly get up, standing still in front of you, asking if you would like to eat in the garden with him. You don't object, standing up and offering him your hand, with a gentle smile and reddening cheeks he holds it as if it was one of the most precious things in the world. While strolling around the garden, you head to the usual place you would rest with Guesta, which brought an even brighter smile to his face, his hold tightening around your wrist.

You stop him before he could sit on the grass, placing your coat under him, so he would not stain his clothes. As you were both relaxing outside, you felt like something was missing and excuse yourself to bring some tea and food along with books, not noticing Tasir a bit farther away from your spot, looking at the two of you.

When you came back, you were only able to hear one sentence before Tasir walk away with a forced smile.

“You've been looking up at the sun for far too long that you must think you belong in the heavens too, Master Tasir.”

Those cunning eyes and satisfied smirk following Tasir as he leaves the garden.

“May I know what was that about?”

You could see Guesta's shoulders tense up, knowing that he just got caught in the act. He tries to explain to you what just happened, stumbling over his words. You inhale sharply with your eyes closed, trying to ignore what you just witnessed. The lack of attention you gave him was one of the reasons he was behaving that way, so you convinced yourself that spending the whole afternoon with him would calm him down a bit. You lay down a blanket before placing the tea and books down on it.

Everything was going just fine for some hours, at first you both read a book, talking occasionally, before Guesta lay his head on your lap, listening to your voice as you read the book out loud. The gentle and relaxing atmosphere was making you feel sleepy, as much as Guesta, at least before a question was asked.

“Who are you spending the night with, tonight?”

It could have been an innocent question if you were not feeling the murderous aura Guesta was emitting. And you knew he would not like the answer.

“Tonight? I think it is Tasir.”

“What?”

He looked up at you in disbelief, fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles were turning white. He grabs your hand, his facial expression was pitiful, but his eyes were only showing anger and jealousy.

“You only spend three nights with me!”

Within a month, you only entered his room at night twice, hoping he would understand that his behaviour was the reason you weren't paying attention to him. Seems like it did not work.

“Guesta. I was spending time with you because you keep causing trouble to the other consorts.”

“I did nothing-”

“Don't lie to me. It will only make me ignore you even more.”

His jaw was clenched, you could see he was trying to choose his words wisely. Suddenly, he looked up at you with teary eyes, holding your hands in between his as if he was praying for your forgiveness.

“Talk, Guesta. You are not a child.”

“I am so sorry about my behaviour! So, please, spend the night with me instead of this guy.”

You did see the grimace he made when he mentioned Tasir, but you knew it was the best he could do, since Guesta would never beg or apologize to anybody. You could understand his reaction, while you were trying to make him respect the others, you spend at least 6 nights with them, and the fact that you slept with two of them surely reached the other consorts' ears. You sigh loudly, run your hand through his hair in the process.

“Fine. But you need to learn your place, you have the same status as the others.”

Sadly, it seems like he stopped listening to you the moment you said 'fine' as he smiled so brightly instantly. He moved from laying to sitting on your lap, arms placed on your shoulders, face moving closer to yours. But unfortunately for Guesta, Sonnaught showed up at that moment, saying that a noble was requesting an audience. With a groan, Guesta placed his head on your shoulder, surely looking at your knight with one of his infamous glares.

Sonnaught repeats your name again, this time with an annoyed tone, you remove Guesta from you, kissing his forehead before getting up, and heading to the council room.

This audience was much more boring than you thought it would be, the noble was just complaining for an hour straight, and you could not say anything. You had to restrain yourself from getting up and just straight up grab his head to slam it on the table. You felt annoyed and on the edge, hoping nobody would come to find you now, so you could rest. Just imagining laying down on your bed and sleeping was comforting you.

As you were going to head to your room, you remembered how you said to Guesta you would come to meet him later. And with the mood he was in earlier, no way he would accept that you refuse to see him this night. Immediately you change direction, stopping in front of the big doors leading to Guesta's room. Before you could enter, a maid stops you, saying another was here to see you and instantly, he showed up behind her, saying it was urgent. Your patient was running thin, and you were going to snap when you hear the doors open behind you, an arm grabbing your shoulder.

You could see the face of the noble turning white, and he started shaking, backing away while looking at the man behind you. He excuses himself before saying he'll come back later, running away from you. You motion for the maid to leave before turning back, looking at the man in front of you who looked quite annoyed. He grabs your arm before leading you inside, or more like dragging you inside.

You let him guide you silently, too tired and in a bad mood to say anything, a constantly frowning. An arm pushed you down, making you sit on the bed before Guesta started to massage your shoulders with a worried expression.

“Are you mad at me?”

“What? No, no, absolutely not. This noble earlier was just really infuriating.”

“Your majesty, could you not dismiss him?”

“Do I dismiss you when you cause a fight?”

You see him look down, his ears burning a bright red. His shaking calmed down and with a newfound determination, he pushed you to lay on the bed, sitting on your stomach.

“You said I was your favourite… But you still slept with the others.

That's not fair. If you don't want to make the first move, then I shall do it.

I can't lose to them.”

He started undressing you, kissing you while unbuttoning your shirt. You let him do what he wants to since you did not mind but when he tried to restrain your hands, you made your move.

“What do you think you're doing?”

You move on top of him suddenly, looking at him with raised eyebrows. His satisfied smile pissed you off even more, with all the annoyance building up inside of you and his actions made you lose your patience. Since he was acting like a troublemaker, you should treat him like one.

Guesta could only watch with a smirk how your patience snapped. After all, that was what he wanted, but something was telling him that he was going to regret it. As he looks up at your expression, he feels your hand gripping his waist tightly, making him wince. That's when he understood, that a mad emperor was not something you wanted to witness, and here he was, lying under you with no way to escape.

You were tired of dealing with all of this, and Guesta was not helping, since he wanted so bad to have your attention, then he will have it.

And now he was on his knees, panting harshly and unable to do anything but listen to you. You've been playing with him for what seems like hours now, he has not been able to release even once, he was feeling so sensitive. You ran your thumb across his bottom lip, his head nuzzling into the palm of your hand as you watch him blush.

As you brush your finger against his jaw since he hasn't replied verbally to you for a while, you're surprised by the whine he lets out. You froze on the spot, trying to understand what just happened, your eyes widen in surprise instantly, understanding the situation, and you try to run your hand through his hair softly. Immediately, you hear him let out a loud groan, his body shuddering at any of your touches, you never thought he could be that obedient after an hour only.

You can't help but pity him, he looked absolutely pathetic, trembling body, dried tears on his cheeks, mouth wide open to let out harsh gasps. As you continue to run your hand through his hair, you suddenly grab it harshly, tugging it back for him to look at you standing in front of him. Unlike his poor self, you were still clothed except for your shirt that he unbuttoned earlier, Guesta felt so humiliated at the thought of it, at how weak he was against you.

You kneel in front of him, kissing him softly on the lips, Guesta reacts immediately with a whine, placing his hands on your shoulders and sobbing against you. The mix of violence and gentle love you were offering him was driving Guesta mad, he only wanted to please you, make you proud of him, and make you fall in love with him. The thought of you giving so much attention to the others was filling his body with hate.

But as you murmur praise in his ear, with the softest voice you could do, each word coming out of your mouth made him tremble in your arms, making him think he was the only one for you. You stand up suddenly, and he scrambles to take on hold of your neck, trying to bring your lips back against his. He gathered all the strength he had left to kiss you before his body went limp against yours, his whines getting louder against your ear, the overstimulation making him unable to process anything correctly.

You chuckle against his neck, before kissing up to his mouth, you wait for him to get lost in the gentle feeling before grabbing his cock tightly. Guesta throw his head back suddenly, a high-pitched moan leaving his throat which made you laugh at the display. Tears slide down once again, and he starts begging. For what? You had no idea. You move one hand towards his ass, waiting for the good time to make him feel overwhelmed.

His words were intelligible, but you hum as if you understand what he meant. You repeat his name many times before you finally manage to grab his attention and bring him back to reality.

“Guesta.

Guesta, look at me. Do you know why I am being like that with you?”

“Because I kept annoying the others.”

“That's right. But you're going to listen to me now.

You're going to be good for me, right?”

He screams a 'yes' as you insert a finger at the same time, his hole tightened up instantly around it, and your other hand which was wrapped around his cock started to move. You did not know if he was answering your question when he screamed, but you don't mind, by the end of this, he will be a good and gentle consort for you. You watch with mocking eyes as he loses himself in the feeling, his screams, and whines could surely be heard in the other rooms, but you don't care at that moment, his pleasure being more important.

You shove a second and the third finger in him, watching him squirm against you. His eyes roll back and his head lolling from side to side, you observe his body convulse, the only thing holding him up with his arms wrapped around your neck. As you continue to murmur praise to Guesta, you jerk him off and finger him at the same time, you've been playing with him for too long, and you still want him to be able to wake up tomorrow morning.

As you move one last time your hand around his length, his body jerk suddenly and his scream fill the room, a warm fluid covering your torso and hand. As Guesta calms down from his orgasm, you hear him stutter words out, eyes rolled at the back of his head and drool slipping past his lips. You collect the cum on your torso with your fingers before placing them in front of his mouth, with shaky hands he grabs your wrist and starts to lick up the substance. You ask Guesta again if he is going to be good now and don't cause any more trouble, and you get an answer this time.

“I am the emperor's consort.

I'm going to be good now.

I'll be the best, your majesty.

Please, continue punishing me.”

You can't help the chuckle that escapes your mouth, watching as he looks up at you with hearts in his eyes, murmuring about how much he loves you and will make you proud. You raise an eyebrow when Guesta goes silent suddenly, and you catch his body when he falls limp on the floor. Seems like it tired him out quite effectively.

You gently hold him before tucking him in bed, a warm smile on your face, you kiss his lips listening to the whimper he lets out while he sleeps. You let go of him long enough to let you change before laying beside him on the bed, the warmth of your body drawing Guesta to cuddle up against you. As you listen to his soft breaths and his heartbeat, you feel your eyes closing and some seconds later, you fall asleep.

The next morning, as you get up and help Guesta change into his clothes, you could see how he was reacting differently. And so, if he was not forced to let go of you, he would stay glued there, with his arms wrapped around your waist, his head buried against your torso. Unfortunately for him, it was time to eat breakfast with the other consorts and was forced to let go of you. When you both enter the dining room, all eyes are focused on him.

You never saw Tasir glaring with so much hate in his eyes, Carlein and Klein had dark circles since their rooms were next to Guesta, it seems like they did not sleep that much. Klein looked betrayed and shot up from his seat, asking for an explanation, since he told you that Guesta wrecked his room but was not reprimanded. Claiming that it was not fair, but your answer made his knees buckle.

“What are you talking about Klein?

I did what you wanted to,

I disciplined him.”

They were all standing there in shock, the words you pronounced sending an agreeable chill up their spine. Klein sat back down with red cheeks, knees unable to hold him up.

None stopped glaring at the red-haired male hiding behind you, who was offering them a proud smirk while you weren't looking. He pulled his shirt down a little just to taunt them with the marks on his body, the glass in Ranamun's hand broke and Carlein stabbed the food on his plate with the fork. Guesta moved his arms to wrap them around your waist, which made you focus on him immediately. As he looks up at you, you can't help but give him a gentle smile and ruffle his hair.

If a look could kill, Guesta would have disappeared for a while now, with the consorts looking daggers at him. Even if you knew what Guesta was trying to do right now, you let him have his fun, even as far as letting him sit on your lap while you were eating, occasionally feeding him when you notice his puppy eyes directed at you.

You just hope it won't give ideas to the others to start being troublemakers just to be put back in their place.

⏤ Thank you for reading! I wish you a great day.

Men of the harem.A rant (more like a total slander):

Disclaimer:I dropped the series around chaliter 75 and I barely dived into the novel.

So, first of all, is the series worth reading?

Sort answer is NO.It had potential, it had great premise and great art but it did not deliver any of the things it promises it will.And the fandom is toxic af, I should've know it's a problem when reading the coments made my vein nearly explode.

But why?

First of all there is NO harem romance and by that I mean barely a few kisses.You keep reading and reading and waiting for Latil to finally spend time with her consorts and every single time she needs to go to solve some imperial shit.And that's a HUGE problem when you have "harem" in your title, no matter how good the storry is, if you don't give the readers what they came here for failed at your job.

Second huge problem:The plot

Men of the harem did something I'd warn any writer no matter their niche not to do, add to manny plot points and/or sublots.

We didn't need undeads rising, we didn't need supernatural shit going on, we didn't need 69 political problems.What we needed was Latil solving the misunderstanding with Hyachint, her moving on from that,her past, the harem plot and how she solves the mistery of her father's death.

And when the story doesn't go with 300 km/h we stop at a consort who gave another consort impotents drugs.As if Latil ever slept with any of them.

I think I lost track of what's going on after 50 chapiters and that's by no means good.So please, by all means don't do what this series did and don't worry if you think your storry has to little things to say or show, sometimes less is more.

Another major problem:The main character

Latrasil Valentine Tarium is a toxic, petty, ville and remorseless bitch.That's it, I said it and I'm not taking it back!

Where to start, well she decided to make a harem to ger revenge of her ex, it would be pretty coll if Hyacinth WASN'T BLACKMAILED I TO MARRING AINI TO WIN THE WAR.And before you say something, would you expect Latil to give up and quit the war? I don't think so.

Like girl, if he left you for another I'd understand, I don't have anyhting against you getting multiple men, but to get revenge of a man who had no choice and the fate of his nation was on his shoulders? It's not like you didn't have to fight against your own brother to take the throne that was rightfully yours and you said you understand (she understood ,my ass).Plus it turns out he sended her letters and gifts every week but they where stolen.

Like who's the petty one here? Not to mention the when she sended a letter to Karisen to ask for a consort.How the fuck was that letter aproved, no one in her office was like "Umm Your Majesty I understand he broke your heart but you should think twice before talking shit about the emperor". And in the end when he refuses (with is both understandable and a bad idea) she does some fake girlboss shit that made me cringe so hard, cuz no you ain't shit for acting like you didn't just sended an offensive full of venom letter to a foreing monarh.

And once the harem is made, she does nothing with them, she just shuts them down and treats the poorly.Especialy poor Klein say what you want about him but he didn't deserve to be mistreated like that.It made sense at first since she has an empire to rule but it got old pretty fast.Like girl you wanted a harem don't pretend you don't know how it works.

In the end I'm pretty sure getting your consorts drunk and run your soldiers to exhaustion just so you can read their minds is power abuse, how comes Sonaight allowed that to happen?

And yeah she made him miserable multiple times albeit without that being her intention.But not informing him about who Zaicin is and why she took him as a consort is a big red flag.

Their entire relationship rubs me the wrong way, there's no way she would'n figure out he has feelins for her.And considering both his dad and her maid (or nanny I forgot) told him to let it go mkles it even more clear whatever it is, it's unhealthy.I'm sorry to say it (I'm not) but the ship sank before even sailing.

Sonaught dear, you should let it go, for your own good.

I know I pissed off like half of the fandom with what I said about Latil, but remove the girlboos, strong independent woman from her character and look what's left, it won't be pleasant but it is what it is.

Also not sure if the series wanted itself to be feminist but you can't do that when there are only a handful of female characters and only one of them is consistent in the storry.

I won't ramble to much about how the fandom constantly badmouths Hyacint and magically forgets pretty important plot aspects just to hate on his since my sanity would be damaged.

In the end it's sad the series it's such a disapointment considering it was writen by the author of Remarried Empress, but sometimes people fail and that's fine. (I said that like I didn't just wipe the floor with the series)
