Power of Creation

Of course, leaving things like that would cause the King to likely chase after me for the rest of his life. That’s why I hit him with a spell that makes him think both his wife and daughter have died. The rest of that act was not really done for him, it was done for Aura, the mom. She left with me willingly, sacrificing herself for her daughter. She also left knowing her husband wasn’t willing to do the same. It may not be love, but it is a good enough start towards bringing her into my harem.

She makes a surprised noise as the three of us suddenly leave the throne room and end up back in the forest next to my faithful cottage. I stare at the cottage a minute before Ariel leans against me.

"Did Hero allow me to be stabbed so he could show my father's true colors?" Ariel asks. 

"S-sorry... are you mad?" I decide to be honest. 

"Not at all!" If anything Ariel looked even more fervent." In the future, Hero can stick anything in me he wants! Right, mom?" 

"Ah... th-this.. is the Hero's home?" Aura quickly changes the subject. "But you only came to this place a few days ago."

“Master, this cottage is starting to get a little small. Should we make it bigger?” Mulan offers. 

“Naw, it is just a temporary home, anyway. If I want to start changing this world for the better, I need a more public base of operation.”

“What do you have in mind?”

“I’d like a nicely-sized town. Perhaps with an adventurer’s guild if this world has them. The more variety of species the better. I’d like to find elf girls, catgirls, dog girls, dwarf girls… I want to collect everything this world has.

“Um, excuse me, hero-san, our country does not have many demi-humans, but if it’s diversity you want, Riun would be the best city for it. It's in the neutral lands between the demon countries and our own.” The Queen spoke up while sticking close to her daughter who was holding my arm.

“Riun, huh? Do you know how to get there, Millie?”

“This lowly dragon knows the way.”

“Ah, good, then could you fly us over there?”

“No… I am happy to fly Master and the bitch, but I will not take some random woman.”

“Did you just call my daughter a bitch? I’ll have you know, I am a queen!”

“Don’t care. I only carry those that Master has broken.”

“B-broken? Wh-what has hero-san done to my innocent daughter?”

“It’s fine, mom, I’m fine. She means it more like house-broken.”

“Wh-what?”

“Well, I’m the hero’s bitch, mom.”

“Th-the hero’s bitch?”

“Mmhmm… and I’m happy that way. That’s why I asked hero to bring you with us. I know you’ll be happier too.”

“I, I don’t understand what you’re saying…” The Queen looks confused.

“It’s okay, mom, you’ll get it soon. Can we get mom ready?” Ariel begs me.

“Well, I don’t think we have any other choice. I was hoping things would move forward a little slower, but it looks like the queen is going to have to go through Spartan training. There is also a Knight I sent here, but she seems to have taken off. Guess she's playing hard to get.” 

“Mmm… the lowly dragon will wait out here. If I see the Knight, I'll devour her body.”

"Eh... if it wasn't coming from a dragon that sounds kind of hot, how about if you just let me know if you encounter anyone." 

"Very well, Master, I'll guard the cottage while you deal with her." She gestures to the queen. 

“Wh-what are you going to do to me?” Aura asks, her eyes looking slightly dizzy. 

“Don’t worry mom, it only hurts a bit.” Ariel reassures her excitedly. 

The pair of us grab the Queen and drag her into the cabin so that she can get the royal treatment.
