My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse

"Mack and may be you two never grow up. There is no family to support again, you are all alone. If I decided to kill you three, nothing would happen. Thus, instead of you setting your priorities straight. You leave in the past."

"Hence, until you realized what is important and move forward from the past. I don't thing we have something to talk about."

Mack and his two other friend returned to the the unmarked section of the ark with various conflict expression on their faces. The short conversation with Susan dampened their behavior.

"What do you think?" Mack as they took a seat. They unmarked section was neatly attended to like the other section of the ark. The car was only filled bunks. And with the addition of the prisoners, everywhere was rowdy and smell like shits.

"Curently, I don't have any thought on it. I need to rest." William said as he lay on the thin bed.

Seeing this, the other look at each other and sighed. Mack was helpless about his friend situation, leaving in such a bad area. He looked at William and Roberts one more time before he departed.

Robert watch as Mack left the car before he looked at William and asked. "What do you think?"

"Before I tell you what I think why don't you tell me what you think?"

"Huh!" Robert knitted his brow and looked at the group of people moving back and forth in the car. The wailing and groaning of people with putrid smell made the muscle on his face twitched. "I think we don't decide this treatment. We should be part of the elite region. Besides, I think Susan arrogance was way too much. Just because she was stronger than us. Don't give her the right to look down on us. She was only a circle higher than us and we reach her level; I'll also look down on her."

William creased his brow and his lower lips trembled a bit. But the slight change in his expression disappeared quickly. "What about mack?"

"He wants to help but he's too weak and his rank on the ark is just too low."

"What do you think about their king?"

"Too proud!" He answered without thinking.

A sigh escape from William mouths and he shook his head.

"Why do you that?"

"Because I pity you and Mack."

Hmm. Robert frowned.

"Since we arrived on the ark, if you don't learn how thing are done on the ark. Then, it won't surprise me if we don't leave these area for the rest of our life. Perhaps, we may die an unfortunate death during some battle with some beast or other race."

"I won't tell you what I think because my thinking and yours are totally on different plane. But I want to ask you. Why is Mack circle so low while other are so high." With that, William left the car, leaving the dumbfounded Robert.

He quickened his step as he move from one car to another. After bypassing a couple of security, he arrived the royal suite. His eyes wander at the pristine area, the air smell of fresh paints, the wood and curtains were new and orderly arranged.

'The last time I came here. This wasn't like this.' He thought in daze.

"Why do you want to see his Majesty." A young man in black armor with long spear asked.

"It's personal." William responded with a slight frown on his face. The guard was only a first circle existence, how dare he question him.

"If everyone come here to see his Majesty for personal matter. Then, his mayest won't have peace."

"If you can't state why you want to see his Majesty. Go and collect a letter of recommendation from the nobles. Else don't come back here or you will be lock in the dungeon."

Williams mouth was ajar, staring at the guards. Their two guards guarding the royal suit but only one of them did the questioning. He looked at the other guards but he was ignored.

His chest rose and fell as he tightened his fist. Veins protruded from his forehead and blood rushed to his face. He gnashed his teeth and took a deep breath.

"I…I want to ask His Majesty how I can earn his favor." He said through grit teeth.

Unknown to him, the short action from the guards were commanded by Justin. It was a short test and he unknowingly pass the test.

"Come in."

William looked at the two guards and clicked his tongue. 'Don't worry. My turn will come.'

He entered the conference room and took a deep breath to control his raging emotion. His eyes wandered as he looked at the row of beautiful seat and when his eyes reach the biggest seat inside the room. He inhaled deeply.

Although the room was empty, the biggest chair was different. He felt a kind of pressure staring at the seat. It was as if he was looking at ethereal being.

Creak!

The slight creak from the door woke William from his stupor. He saw Justin entering the room and gave a bow. Previously, he may have had some discontent in bowing toward him but when he saw his power against the Abyssal desert horde king. He succumb to his strength.

"Take a seat."

"Thank your Majesty." He cleared his throat and arranged his thought.

"I won't waste your precious time, so I will go straight to the point…" He swallow the lumps in his throat. He was taking a risk and all his hope the risk won't have a negative effect on him.

"I want to know I can elevate my status from unmarked to marked and leave the unmarked region to the elite section."

Justin didn't have any change in his expression. Since he appeared on the royal suits, he had guess his intention.

"What do you understand by being marked?"

"I don't know anything but I heard is that it magically appeared on their forehead."

"The mark means loyalty. Total loyalty to Genesis."

Hearing this, William wasn't surprised by it but what astound him was how it magically appeared on their head.

"I understand."

"What are you good at?"

"Management?"

"Go and meet Nasir he would have a post for you. Do this, and your status would changed. Knows this, if you want to be marked, it all about your heart."

"I understand" He nodded with a bright smile. "Thank you your majesty."

Justin wave his hand without uttering a word. William left with a large stride but meet a woman at the exist. 'Hmm. Is that not the woman we save from the horde— Leah'

He though for a moment before he threw the thought out of his mind as he rush toward Nasir department.

"What is the secret that you can't tell others?" Justin asked.

"It not that I didn't tell the others but none of them seems to understand the problem." She answered without raising her head.

"I'm all ears."

"I don't know what happen but I have dream where I use power."

Hmm!

Justin fixed his gaze on Leah. She was dressed in a makeshift red and white gown. Her protruded collarbone, green veins and dried skin showed what type of situation she was previously in.

"Raised your head and looked directly into my eyes."

Leah fidgeted with her finger as her heart was pounding in her heart. Slowly, she raised her head and look straight into his eyes.

Buzz!

The heaven's mark on Justin forehead glowed. He knitted his brow as he saw flashed of scenes. After what seem like forever, Justin averted his gaze and Leah fell on her butt.

Her back was drenched in cold sweat as she breath erratically. She looked at her trembling and shivered when she thought of those strange eyes.

"Are you alright?"

Y-yes… Your Majesty."

She held one of the chair and use it support herself to stand up.

'How could the hordes had such kind of power.' Justin knitted his brow as he shocked by his deduction.

'The water they gave the prisoner had power to block them from using their ability and also erase their memory.'

The more he though about it, the more he became more furious. 'I know this earlier, I won't have given that asshole some easy death.' He sighed and looked at Leah.

"Open your mouth."

Leah didn't think twice and opened her mouth. A liquid landed inside her mouth at an extreme speed.

Subconsciously, she swallow the strange liquid and looked at Justin with wide eyes.

"W-W-h…" She trembled.
