Inside a room, Alcimus and Ellinger sat with solemn looks on their faces. There were a few servants around them as well, however, all those servants had lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a single word.
"It is about time."
Ellinger spoke.
"…"
Alcimus didn't say anything and just nodded.
The two of them didn't have to wait for long, the doors of the room opened and a beautiful woman walked in.
The woman had dark brown hair, sword-like eyebrows, a thin nose and a beautiful face, however, even though she was a rare beauty, no one inside the room dared to look at her face for more than an appropriate time. Heck, the weak-willed wouldn't even dare to look at her for even a second, that was just how scary the aura she unconsciously released was.
"Your face is still as scary as always, Astaria."
Alcimus commented.
Astaria glanced at Alcimus and narrowed her eyes,
"Of course, I am not saying you are ugly or something like that, I am not blind, you are definitely one of the most beautiful women I know, though I will say, that strict expression of yours makes you look quite scary."
Alcimus laughed.
"Is that so?"
A smile appeared on Astaria's face.
Seeing that smile, Alcimus was taken aback.
Was this normal Astaria?
He wondered in his head.
If it was before, Astaria would have simply ignored him and would have walked towards her chair.
'Is it because we are allies now?'
Alcimus wondered inwardly.
He had received a letter from Astaria before the meeting.
'The Skadi's and Solid Earth Kingdom are allies, if things go out of proportion, then just like I promised, I would deal with Amletus, however, you would have to deal with Herms yourself.'
'Heh, being allies with the strongest human in the world definitely feels different.'
Alcimus thought inwardly.
While he was thinking all this, Astaria walked towards her seat and sat down.
Alcimus's eyes then finally fell on the masked man who was following Astaria and he commented,
"I expected to see Queen Evane today."
"She is a little busy with a few things."
Astaria replied.
"Ah, I understand."
Alcimus nodded, however, inwardly, he couldn't help but frown,
'Busy? What could be more important than a meeting where the strongest beings in the world meet each other?'
Of course, he didn't voice these thoughts and brought his attention back to the man who was following Astaria.
The man had black colored hair and very rare golden eyes that looked as if they had some sort of hypnotic magic inside them. Even though the man's face was not completely visible and half of the part from the nose to the neck was covered with the mask, Alcimus could tell from just his eyes and eyebrows that this man was handsome and young.
What was even more surprising was that this man was a King Stage Cultivator!
A young King Stage Cultivator!
Alcimus couldn't hold back his curiosity and questioned,
"Who could this man be?"
"He is my student, Nux Leander," Astaria replied with a small smile on her face.
"Your student?" Alcimus's expression changed.
The student of the strongest human in the world.
"Wait! L-Leander?"
Ellinger, who stayed silent till now couldn't help but react.
Alcimus frowned at this behavior, however, as he heard the name 'Leander' again, he quickly recalled something as well,
"2 of the nine King Stage Cultivators that the Skyfall Kingdom sent as reinforcement had the last name Leander as well…
Are they and your student perhaps connected to each other?"
Alcimus questioned.
"Oh?"
An interested smile appeared on Astaria's face as she turned towards this student of hers.
"It seems your name is quite popular, boy."
"What can I do, they are just that good. People can't help but remember the impact they leave around."
Nux shrugged as well.
Then, he turned towards Alcimus and replied,
"Yes, they are my wives.
All 9 of them."
"WHAT!?"
Alcimus and Ellinger couldn't control themselves and stood up with shocked looks on their faces.
Nux just smiled.
"N-N-Nine wives?"
Ellinger couldn't help but stutter.
Nux frowned, "What happened? I heard Dynast Ellinger has around 20 wives as well, doesn't he? Why are you acting so surprised?"
"…"
Ellinger didn't know how to reply.
'20 wives my ass! Even 1000 wives would compare to the 9 you have! All your wives are King Stage Cultivators! How in the hell did you even find them!'
He couldn't help but shout in his head.
If it wasn't for people around them, he would have rushed towards this man and would have placed his head on the ground to beg for 'the way'. The way to woo so many beautiful women.
He has seen those women before, and though they wore masks, he could still tell that all of them were exceptional beauties, especially the woman named Amaya Leander, he had never seen a woman as beautiful as her.
And Beauty was not the only thing.
Ellinger had heard this from the soldiers.
Those 9 women alone took out most of the Solid Earth Soldiers, all the soldiers only helped with the clean-ups. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
No normal King Stage Cultivators could do something like that.
Those women were all monsters.
And the man who convinced those monstrous women to be his wives…
Ellinger couldn't help but think how fearsome this man could be.
Let alone Ellinger, even Alcimus was looking at Nux with a surprised expression on his face.
"Hoh? The atmosphere here seems quite lively."
Suddenly, everyone present in the room heard a voice.
They all turned around and saw an old man walking in.
He was Herms Lizander, he was followed by a normal King Stage servant and quickly walked towards his chair.
"Tsk, I purposefully came a few minutes later to act like a main character, but I think Amletus would be taking that role.
I can't believe he is so late."
Herms shook his head and sighed, he then turned towards Alcimus and smiled,
"So Alcimus? I heard my Kingdom gave quite a trouble to your dynasty? Don't worry though, I already gave an earful to that silly child.
Hahaha~ He was just playing around because he was a little bored.
He didn't think he would cause you so much trouble just by playing around, I apologize on his behalf."
