NOVEL NEXT Chapter 97: A/lmost at the Fight.
(Syrilblia’s POV)
Seeing the immensely large army in front of us, I wasn’t scared at all. From my estimate, as I really didn’t bother to ask the true number, there were around 4 or 5 million soldiers.
A truly mighty army, but one that was meaningless against us. Looking at them… only Alti had a speck of magical power. Everyone else was weak as all hell.
The hell… most of them didn’t even know how to use magic. What a fucking idiot! He really wants to win this war of his, all by doing a numbers game?
We gave this fucker so many damn years to prepare, and this is what he has brought to the table? Not even a castle of glass, it was a castle made out of old and wet paper…
Marina: “You seem upset, Syrilblia.” She said with a concerned tone.
Syrilblia: “I am just a little disappointed, is all.” I reply.
Fantasia: “Disappointing would be a major understatement… In all these years, this is what he has achieved?” She said with a scoff.
Marina: “Yes, it is almost sad. We didn’t even bother to ruin his progress, either. With his modern knowledge, this was the best that he could accomplish.” She said with a sigh.
All three of us were not in a good mood. Besides Alti and the kingdoms he rules, we have no other enemies. While Alti was busy playing a kingdom making game, we did the same.
I said that we didn’t invade any kingdoms, but that isn’t fully the truth. The foolish king’s ambitions were solely for this land. He cared not for the rest of the world.
While he continued to slowly build up his power, Marina had taken over the rest of the lands of this world. Besides Alti’s places, we ruled it all.
That is partly the reason why I got my core harem members, my concubines, who are very powerful, pregnant. This was it. After this little pointless war, we can all finally relax.
Syrilblia: “He looks so happy… It’ll at least be fun to make his face display infinite despair.” I say with a bright tone.
Fantasia: “Aw… I wanted to kill him quickly.” She said with a pout.
Marina: “Doing so would greatly weaken the morale of his army. But that isn’t needed at all. We have no need for male prisoners of war. All of them will die here.” She said with a serious tone.
Fantasia: “I get that, I really do. But that man… I really wish to kill him instantly!” She said, still with a pout.
Syrilblia: “Fantasia… please allow me to have some fun.” I plead, taking her hands in mine.
Fantasia: “…I want…” I cut her words off.
Syrilblia: “Even after so many years, you still ask for things? Fantasia, you don’t need to barter with me. Whatever you want, you can get.” I say with a warm tone, taking her lips in mine.
Kiss!
Marina was… actually fine with this. Due to her age, she was far more accepting than a normal person would be. She knew that I felt love for my concubines, but she was also aware that my love for her was far stronger and more special to me.
If I ever fell out of love for Marina, or found a woman that I loved more than her, Marina would surely kill that woman, and then lock me up in some kind of inescapable tower… Luckily for me, I truly did love her on a higher level. There wasn’t any force on her part, either. This was just fate.
Fantasia: “Seeing him look so proud and strong… It is sickening.” She said with an angry tone.
Syrilblia: “We’ll wipe that expression off of his face, and he will also be pleading for mercy very soon.” I reply with a serious tone.
Fantasia: “Pleading for mercy? The things that he has done… it far overtakes what you and Marina did. It is like child’s play compared to the atrocities he’s committed.” She said, still with an angry tone.
Marina: “Alti’s evil will be his undoing, Fantasia.” She said with a confident tone.
Syrilblia: “If he just left it all well enough alone, he perhaps could have lived far longer.” I add.
Fantasia: “Alti managed to live a very luxurious life for a few years, but that will soon all come to a close. I cannot believe that I once saw him as a friend…” She said with a sigh.
Marina: “I heard that he spends most of his coins on women, slowly building up his harem. Not to be rude, but those girls aren’t exactly of high quality.” She said with a giggle.
Her last statement was true… Those that remained in Alti’s kingdoms were only women that cannot use magic. Usually homeless, or not of high born.
I wasn’t one to discriminate against a lower-class person, but I do find it funny that Alti had to pay top coin for low-quality women. Referring to a person like that does leave a horrible taste in my mouth, though…
Of course, once said women are with us, they will not be “low-quality” anymore. When you become a demon, even if you were the most unattractive women in history, you’d end up as a true beauty.
My people did not lack beautiful women, as each and every one of them was as beautiful as can be. This, in turn, did cause some problems.
Said problems… were just small fights. Fights that will go on for a long while, I am sure. What kind of fights, you might ask? Love fights…
No, really. That is just how pampered our people and my harem are. In Alti’s world, resources, coin, and women were all lacking greatly.
But here in Trisha, which now encompassed the entire world, everything was in practically endless abundance. The only conflicts were ones of love. That is, the women fight each other for other women. Not in any violent way, mind you.
Everything was as civil as can be. The “fighting” was just a game of seduction. Seduction was really the only method at their disposal.
Alti used power and control to take what he wanted, but our people cannot do such things. Seduce them with material items? I give them all they want. In that sense, the only thing that they can do is to improve their sexual skills.
Each of them was far too powerful to ever be forced into doing anything. There are fights, but the fights are funny, so we do not mind them. Besides, anything that indirectly increases the population is something that we should support. Assuming it is consensual, of course.
As the carriage made its way over to Alti’s large and completely pitiful army, I got even more excited. In the eyes of the women held captive by him and his people, I will well and truly be a hero. My villainess status, which I never really claimed, will finally be scrubbed away completely!!!
