Because we were away from the Kingdom for around a week, there were some slight changes around. First of all, the surrounding of the Grand Forest had suddenly gained some kilometers of walls, as I quickly detected that they were Slime Walls into their "Wall Form", the moment they noticed me they extended some of their gray tentacles and waved at me, they seem to have intelligence as they were synthesized alongside my Slime Clones, gaining some of my own consciousness.


I also saw Guubo and the two Chimera Guardians training, when they noticed my presence they stopped and "kneeled" in their own ways, I could see that they were stronger than before, especially the Chimera Guardians who had an almost max level, I wonder what kind of beings will a giant skeleton centipede and a dark mushroom empress evolve into.


I got some news about Guubo exploring the Forsaken Labyrinth and leaving a big mess inside, he reached around the 50th floor and gained plenty of levels as he just digested everything inside like a snack, after reached floor 51th he was reprimanded by the Rin Sisters as they told him that I was going to clear the dungeon first. Guubo level cap seems pretty big, I wonder how terrific will he be after evolving.


I also met with Mao, my Chimera Lion mount, which was sent home alongside my wives mounts to train and possibly evolve once again. He was very close to evolving and was very excited, I feel like he missed me as I"ve left him out for a bit. With so many children and wives its hard to find some time to spend with my pet. Nonetheless, he was still happy to see me and let me rub his belly while I fed him some monster meat.


Although I can just summon another Chimera like him, Mao has become something unique already and his personality and soul have evolved enough to be treated as something else than just expendable fodder or food. If he trains hard, he may join the Chimera Guardians, as they are only two for now.


My wife"s mounts have also become stronger and may follow him on his evolutions. They could become strong partners that would always be at our sides, a strong pet that can protect them anywhere they are will be very good, especially if someday we have separate to do different activities in faraway zones or dungeons.


Aside from them, the Kingdom has expanded even more through these last days, already reaching the fourth layer of the forest and even occupying some of the abandoned dungeon shrines, the Rin Sisters and my Clones have been doing some business with the Spirits and we even made them official citizens, this also includes the original Yuki-Onnas, Wendigos and so on.


Now that I"ve tasted each spirit to my heart"s content, I don"t care if they live with us, although they are very weak, they got their uses like Spirit Stone production, environment purification, environment enhancing they can even take care of dungeons to a certain extent, so some were put to work in the b.l.o.o.d.y Sacrifice Dungeon, administrating the monster evolution rates and the own dungeon expansion, alongside administrating the adventurers and knights that enter.


The town is overflowing with life and harmony, as my citizens walk around doing different activities, the houses have expanded and some have begun to increase in quality. There are plenty of new factories and facilities as well and the streets are more refined.


Nesiphae"s mother shrine has been remodeled and made even greater and there is another shrine for me as well… Which is rather strange, there are plenty of people attending there and praying to me… I guess it"s fine…


Every time I go around Amiphossia"s (Nesi mother, not her daughter) Shrine, I can feel a strange essence, it was something akin to Spirit Energy, however, it was very concentrated and it had other properties, like Life energy and Magic energy, I couldn"t grasp its components and when I tried to absorb it, I was not able to. Every time this energy stockpiles inside of the shrine, the more people go pray for her, the more of this strange energy is acc.u.mulated. Because it wasn"t harmful and it made the ambient of the shrine soothing and relaxing, I left it alone.


I also reached a zone in the forest that was completely filled with thousands of summoned creatures being constantly killed or fused. These were the leveling training grounds, that now included living Familiars, the ones killed will be carried elsewhere to be butchered and processed for selling.


Our crops were also flouris.h.i.+ng and there were plenty of beautiful trees around, mostly fruit trees and veggies similar to cabbage and potato. There was a group of Small Dryads that can be summoned attending them, alongside Lilith"s family.


There were some of the Forest Dryad"s, but very few. I"m planning in going to convince the Dryad Empress to join the Kingdom already, she has been playing dumb for too long, she should already recognize that I am the boss here. If she refuses again, I will just give her a little time of pleasure with the myriad of l.u.s.t skills at my disposal until she becomes my submissive concubine.


When we reached the Kingdom"s town, we were all once again received by all my people like heroes. Monkeys, Trolls, Goblins, Harpies, Salamanders, Wolves, and Humans all welcomed us. Behind the scenes, the Rin Sisters once again prepared another welcoming festival and as the day went by more people gathered around the food stalls and spectacles.


I met with Redgaria who was controlling his Skeletons like a puppet show, entertaining the people. As he was sitting in the sides while selling some of his talisman and magic books, I noticed a cute azure haired Undead Knight, this must be the Champion of Freezing Winter.


"But if it isn"t the Empress! Welcome! How was the conquering? Did you gather more wives? Hahaha!"


"Sigh… Everything went quite well, we already looted the treasury but Athetosea by itself is still very useful, I"ve made some changes in the city and established several factories using the System, aside from that, I added more guards and such"


"Ohh! Very well done. I never thought that one day that Kingdom would be actually conquered! Haha!"


After saying that, Redgaria opened his Item Box and gave me the Champion of Freezing Winter Relic.


After receiving the reward, I gave Redgaria a smug smile as I glanced at the cute Undead Knight girl at his side.


"You also got yourself a cute girl, isn"t it?"


Over my words, Redgaria began to cough as if his lungs were getting out of air.


"Geeh…! S-Shut up…"


The cute knight at his side quickly reacted, asking if Redgaria was okay.


"Ah! My beloved Master, are you okay? Can a lowly servant like me be of any help?"


As she said that she came very close to Redgaria as she tried to hug him as if he were his husband.


"Agh! Don"t touch me! Stop being too clingy! Kireina, take her away from me, p-please!"


I only kept looking at Redgaria with a smug face as I said;


"Eeeehh? Why? She loves you a lot, you should appreciate her feelings and maybe reciprocate… What a heartless man!"


"W-What?! What are you talking about?! I-I don"t care about her! H-Hey! Why are you walking away! Come back! Aaagkh! This d.a.m.ned slave seal…"


The Undead Winter Champion approached Redgaria with a concerned expression.


"My beloved Master, please calm down! Also, you should consider the Empress words!"


"S-Shut up! Agh! I should have never made you an Undead! Sigh… Now do something useful and sell these relics, make your Master so money at the very least…"


"Y-Yes my Beloved Master!"

After chatting some time with Redgaria, I went to the Castle with my family and left anyone who wanted to rest in their respective rooms. Nephiana moved her nest in my room and quickly went to sleep. I would have really wanted to sleep at her side while hugging her tightly, but my other wives needed some attention as well. Altani also wanted to rest and have some dinner so I called the Arachne Maids to attend her needs.


The rest of my wives and children accompanied me around town, most of them were wearing j.a.panese-like attires like Kimonos. It seems that I somehow influenced them to like these attires, especially when they want to wear something easy to go around with. Aarae and Ailine looked precious with their Kimono while Vudia was wearing a small golden one, resembling the one Brontes was using.


My exotic wives like Nesiphae and Zehe had special Kimonos adapted to their bodies, Zehe was using a Kimono with six sleeves and it was perfectly decorated with ribbons and such. Ryo already had his own that he crafted with his Sewing skills, and even made some for Amiphossia and Valentia as they had different sizes despite being giants.


I also noticed that my townsfolk had adapted these attires and customs, most probably copying me as I am the most wors.h.i.+ped here. They usually wear kimonos when they are relaxing and such, while some warriors began to wear Samurai-like armors, and Katanas and Odachis have become very popular around my knights and soldiers.


We also came across the Slave Team, the Slime Family, the Demi-Humans, and the Demon Trio and chatted while trying snacks in an overall harmonistic scene. They all had become very strong, but for now, I wanted to enjoy the present and inspect their changes in more detail tomorrow.


When it was getting quite late, Amiphossia saw Evan who was wandering around on his usual attires alongside the Black-Haired Swordsman and some other humans, who were from the Tribes we enslaved. The Tribe Woman was being very provocative with Evan and was asking for him to give them his children as he was very strong. Evan was very fl.u.s.tered and couldn"t make up any words from its embarra.s.sment.


Amiphossia is of course in love with the blonde boy and when she saw this scene she quickly rushed towards the small group.


"Humans! Don"t touch my man!"


As the Tribe Women saw the actual Princess of the Kingdom calling Evan "her man" they began to sweat heavily as they were already getting ready for punishment.


Over Amiphossia"s words, Evan suddenly blushed intensively while scratching his head with a stupid smile.


"Aahah… Hi, Ami"


"Aah~! Evan, I"m glad to see you are healthy! Where those women molesting you?! They should know that you belong to me! Now go away, don"t come near him ever again if you value your lives!"


Over the menacing words of my daughter, who also showed her big fangs and scarlet eyes to intimidate the humans, even more, the girls ran as fast as they could while promising to never talk with Evan ever again.


Meanwhile, the Black-Haired Swordsman slowly walked away leaving Evan completely alone.


"I-I see you two are pretty busy, I don"t want to get in your way, so enjoy the festivities! Bye, bye!"


"Oh! Your friend is very smart, Evan!" (Amiphossia)


���A-Ah… Y-Yeah…" (Evan)


Hmm, I don"t really like how Amiphossia has already taken Evan as her husband or concubine… I hope they don"t do anything s.e.x-related for now.


Evan seems like a good boy; I just hope that he doesn"t turn down Amiphossia"s feelings or he will most probably get squashed to death by me. And I don"t really want to kill him, he"s a good soldier.


"A-Ami, d-did you say that I belong to you?"


"That"s right! You are mine! You are my man, Evan! I choose you; you are mine only, from no one else! Teehee!"


"A-Aaah… T-That means that you like me?"


"E-Eh? A-Ah… I suppose… I was just being dominant, that"s how my mother taught me if I like someone, I need to take it for myself before someone else takes him!"


"A-Ah?! W-Well I see… Amiphossia, I also like you. You are very nice to me, and an honest girl… (And I also don"t want to be killed by Kireina) It doesn"t matter if we are from different species"


"Aaah~! Evan! I"m so happy! Let"s go make babies!"


"A-Ah?! B-Babies?! I-It"s too early!"


"Oh, really? But I feel like I can pop an egg if we pa.s.s the night together"


"A-Ah… P-Please understand… Y-Your mother wouldn"t allow us either… Look, she is glaring at me with those deadly eyes… I feel like I am being inflicted with five different status ailments… Ugh"


"M-Mother!"


After I talked a little bit with Amiphossia and made her clear that I didn"t want any type of s.e.xual intercourse between her and Evan until she becomes a fully maturated adult (in Lamia ages), I left the two love birds alone as I spent the rest of the night eating and chatting with my wives.


When we came back to the Castle everyone was exhausted over walking and eating so much aside from Alice, so I had a private night with her, due to being a Dhampir she is very wild…
