Chapter 201: Capital of Hex Duchy
"Are you sure you want to follow me?" the alchemist asked, surprise by his decision.
"I always want to go to the capital. The reason I stayed in Furim City is because of you," Alros replied.
The alchemist looked away, though the incubus could see her blushing. It is a novel experience, to not use carnal pleasure and lust to make the others bind to him, and instead using love and comfort.
But he did not mind doing it once in a while. It may take a longer time than using his previous method, but for some reason, he thing doing like this would be more... fulfilling.
"Thank you," her voice is so small it might have been a whisper. Nevertheless, his improved senses allowed him to hear her.
He merely looked at her before glancing at the direction of the Hexun Cavern. Thankfully, the danger zone distance to the capital is a mere 3 days by horseback.
If he flew, he would be able to reach it in just 18 hours or so, and that is if he went on a leisurely flight. If he is serious, he could reach it cavern in 2 to 3 hours.
Of course, he did not plan to do it everyday. Maybe once a week. He did check on them once already, just last night. They had been thriving. Though they did manage to captured some female adventurers, but only one.
He did not claim her virginity just yet though. He plan to have the female monsters break the female adventurers first. And to help with that, he deliver them both Lust Slime and Lust Phantom Wasp.
As he thought of the result of the female monsters tormenting the adventurers, the alchemist slapped his shoulder, waking him up from his thought.
"Are you ready to go?" she asked.
"Yes, but first," the alchemist looked at her in confusion. "We never told the one another of our name," the alchemist was about to open her mouth before closing it, clearly remembering the tiny little detail.
"Right, my name is Mina. What about yours?"
"My name, is Edwin,"

The journey take three days. Thankfully, they did not ran into any trouble, though it is mostly because of his monsters. Alros had sent his Demonic Wolves and Demonic Goblins to hunt.
He almost forget one of his first monsters and spent a lot of his accumulated LP to turn them all into at least C-rank monsters.
By the end of the third day, they reach the capital.

"Wow! It so impressive," she call out. Even Alros had to admit the place is impressive. While he had seen some bigger and better cities in Torim Kingdom and Bertrum Nation, the Capital of Hex Duchy is impressive in its own way.
He could sense the mana in the walls, with the materials used to create it likely taken from the Hexun Cavern and magic circles are later drawn on it.
If he had to guess, it could hold against some of his powerful spells, the wall able to stop the rampage of an A-rankers, monsters or human.
They soon past the gate. Thankfully, Alros had prepared a fake identity for the two of them, allowing them to pas through with ease.
As they find an inn and put their horses in a stable, the two decide to explore the Capital.
"Wow, this is impressive!" she exclaimed, eying the numerous alchemy shop. Unlike the one in Furim City, the equipment and skills of the alchemist in the capital is league better compared to them.
It is no wonder they claimed her to be a witch, in hopes of running her off town.
"Do you think we can compete with them? But we also need money to rent a shop... " realizing her lack of plan, Mina began to panic, only for Alros to hit her on her forehead.
"Don't worry. We will use my money for now. Let just say, I am loaded," his gain from stealing inside the Astor Kingdom, grabbing every single belongings from the adventurers he killed and captured from Astor, Bertrum, and Torim. Not to mention he had sell some of the large Mana Crystals he find when he battled the Golem.
All of it, and the fact he rarely spend it, only using at most 2 gold coins in a single day, allow him to accumulate wealth that would be more than enough to buy an entire street, and still have enough to live his life in luxury, much less opening an alchemy shop.
"Are you sure?" she asked, looking at him in disbelief.
"Like I said, this is an investment, and I am looking forward for the end result,"
-x-
They would be looking for shop the next day, but for today, they are about to do something else. Mina had been on her own and only receive threats, abuse and insults in her entire life.
Edwin is the only one to not do such thing, and instead offer her kindness. She knew she fall in love with the brunette, but she hold backs fearing if her feeling is not reciprocated, or he would be the same as the others.
From him stopping her from committing suicide, to letting her stay in his inn room, to following her to the capital city, and later investing and essentially sponsoring her store, she is sure she had fallen badly for the man in front of her.
And so, once they find an inn, a luxurious one, the twintailed alchemist did not hold back and immediately pounced on the surprised man, almost causing him to fall. She did not care, as she focused more on his lips, asserting herself.
The man manage to stop himself from falling, before his arms wrapped around her smaller form, the man deepened the kiss between the two of them.
Mina could feel his tongue slowly pushing against his, before she was soon dominated, his tongue touching every part of her mouth with no hesitation. She would ask him of how many women he did before, but now, she want him all for herself.
-x-
To say Alros was surprised would be an understatement. He usually is the one that make the first move, after humiliating, degenerating, and tormenting the women with pleasure.
For the woman to make the move, it's both soothing to his ego, as it showed how charming he is, to causing him to feel annoyed over the fact he did not make the first move.
He pushed the later thought aside, as he want to focus more on ravaging the black haired beauty in front of him.
