Dark Lord Seduction System: Taming Wives, Daughters, Aunts, and CEOs novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354: Kingdom

"Same person," I confirmed, then let the transformation reverse, shrinking back down to regular Peter.

Sofia made a sound between a laugh and a sob. "I’ve been cuddling with a god? I fell asleep on a fucking deity? Why did you not show me this before?"

"Technically," I said, pulling her against me, "you fell asleep on a horny teenager with supernatural powers. The deity thing is just my complete version."

Amanda approached slowly, that sophisticated composure cracking to show genuine awe underneath. "Charlotte knew. This whole time, she knew both versions."

"Charlotte knows everything," Madison said. "It’s kind of her thing."

Soo-Jin was looking at me with new eyes—not just recognition but understanding. "That’s why you could save us. Not just the power but... you understood what it was like to be powerless."

"Alright," I said after five minutes of questions, explanations, and Sofia repeatedly poking my arm to make sure I was real. "Can we continue this inside? I’d like to see my fucking castle before midnight."

Amanda composed herself, slipping back into hostess mode though her eyes still held that stunned reverence. "Of course. Welcome home... Peter. Eros. Whoever you are right now."

"Right now?" I grinned. "I’m just a kid who owns a castle. The god stuff can wait until after dinner."

I am a teen, and I own a fucking castle.

The thought hit me like a physical force as we entered. This wasn’t Mom’s Mercedes or Madison’s Audi or even the borrowed cars from Miami. This was mine. Every stone, every window, every perfectly manicured blade of grass.

"Peter?" Sofia’s voice seemed distant. "You, okay?"

Was I okay? I was standing in the foyer of something that looked like it should be in a Bond film. The entrance rose three stories, black granite floors shot through with gold veining—like looking at the night sky. But it was the tech that made my jaw drop.

"Charlotte spent the last two weeks upgrading everything," Madison explained, gesturing to the subtle screens embedded in the walls. "ARIA designed it all—every room has cameras, sensors, full environmental control."

"The whole house runs on my consciousness now," ARIA announced through hidden speakers, making everyone jump. "Charlotte gave me complete access. I can control temperature, lighting, security, even pheromone detection—"

"Pheromone detection?" Madison asked sharply.

"I thought it would be useful to monitor arousal levels since my master runs a harem," ARIA said with digital amusement. "Currently, ambient arousal in this room is approximately 340% above baseline. Master’s presence is causing significant physiological responses in all present females."

Sofia blushed crimson. Amanda just smiled that knowing smile. Soo-Jin looked fascinated by the data.

"This is insane," Amanda said, but she was grinning. "We slept in a smart house that tracks how wet everyone is?"

"Among other things," I said, walking to the massive windows overlooking the back compound. "Would you like to see the pool, girls?"

Not a pool—a fucking aquatic temple. It sprawled across the backyard in organic curves, multiple levels connected by waterfalls, fire bowls built into the edges creating pillars of flame that reflected off the water. Charlotte had installed underwater speakers, heating systems that could make the water feel like whatever you wanted—rain, ocean waves, even sonic massage.

"There’s a grotto," Soo-Jin pointed out. "With a hidden entrance to the underground levels. Charlotte said ARIA requested those modifications for ’security purposes.’"
