Chapter 4: "The Goddess of Silence Arrived (And My Harem Forgot How to Yell)"

Volume 5: The Forbidden Queen Wants Me (But So Does My Entire Harem)

Section 1: Prelude to Silence

Kai's dreams were a kaleidoscope of floating hearts, flaming bedsheets, and the cold, unnerving stare of Velrisa ranking his wives with military precision.

He bolted upright in bed—only to find Malvexa using him as a human pillow, Elyssaria curled around his arm with her halo blinking low-battery red, and Moona whispering sweet nonsense to the vines.

> [SYSTEM NOTICE: Glitch Event Incoming] [Forbidden Bride #3 Approaching: 00:00:11]

Kai: "NOPE. I'M NOT HOME!"

Too late.

The entire divine palace flickered. Lights dimmed. The scent of burning roses and system corruption filled the air. And then—

Silence.

Not just absence of sound. No magic. No system beeps. Not even breathing. It was like existence itself forgot to exist for a full minute.

Then she appeared.

Floating inches above the marble floor, draped in robes woven from void silk and starlight, eyes hidden beneath a veil of night, the Goddess of Silence entered Kai's world.

Section 2: She Speaks in Destruction

Her name was Serika.

She didn't speak. Instead, the wall behind Kai exploded into glitched particles that spelled out: I'm your bride. Do not resist.

Kai: "I AM SO TIRED."

The other goddesses rushed in.

Elyssaria, drawing divine blade: "What is she? She's severing my prayer stream!"

Moona: "My plants are afraid of her. Plants. THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE BRAINS."

Malvexa summoned a flame barrier, which silently crumbled to ashes when Serika stared at it.

Velrisa, now lounging with popcorn: "This'll be fun."

Caelith entered mid-song—and her music notes froze mid-air and shattered like glass.

Kai tried diplomacy. "Hi, Serika. You're beautiful and ominous. Could you not destroy my house on our first date?"

Serika blinked.

> [NEW GLITCH ACQUIRED: Vow of Silent Submission]

System: You have now entered a binding silence pact. If you speak above 30 decibels around Serika, your emotions will implode.

Kai tried to scream. Nothing came out but a cough and a nosebleed.

Section 3: A Library of Forbidden Whispers

In an attempt to understand her, Kai followed Serika to her lair—an ancient, long-forgotten archive known as the Library of Breathless Tomes.

Here, every book was a curse. Every scroll a song unsung.

She led him to a specific book sealed in a coffin of glass: The Lexicon of Eternal Hush.

It opened when he touched it.

Inside, was a poem.

> To love the one who cannot speak, Is to hear with the soul, not the ear. To survive her silence, you must listen with the heart.

The book closed. Serika looked at him.

She placed a hand on his chest—and for a moment, all his thoughts quieted. His pain, lust, confusion... still.

She smiled.

He understood something in that instant.

She wasn't mute. She just only spoke when words would fail.

Section 4: When the Harem Goes Quiet

The strangest thing happened that night: no one yelled.

Elyssaria cooked dinner in total silence. Malvexa heated the soup without setting the table on fire. Moona wrapped everyone in vines for a group cuddle. Even Velrisa held back from commenting.

Serika sat beside Kai, not touching him, but somehow closer than skin.

He realized something dangerous.

He was falling for her.

> [Harem Harmony Heat Index Updated: Serika added as wild card] [WARNING: She does not participate in rankings. She sets them.]

Yui beeped one final warning:

> [Emotional Stability at Critical Level. Forbidden Bride #4 unlocking sooner than expected.]

Kai passed out… but this time with a smile.
