36 Raise the Taxes!

Rowen laughed at her sentence and made her take the original form she has, the original Blair. "Return to your previous form, I have some things to do, we will talk about this latter. Now come to the throne room." He said and strode out of his room.

Both of the ladies seeing their man leaving the room quickly changed into new clothing and left the room with him, fortunately, Blair could turn into a normal human, otherwise, it would be difficult to get new clothes without exposing herself. 'Fortunately, I can revert back to a normal human, or it would have been difficult to get new clothes without exposing myself.' She thought to herself and sighed in relief.

Lilias on the other hand quickly put on a fancy red coloured robe with the golden patterns, on her body she then quickly followed the new king of Ellesmere. She had a proud expression on her face while she followed Rowen.

'Today is the day that my son will sit on the Throne of this kingdom.' She thought and then a grin formed on her face. 'I will make sure to help him however I can.'

After the three of them reached the throne room all the ministers that were sitting on the chairs stood up and bowed to Rowen, they already knew that this new king of Ellesmere was not someone to be messed with. They have already witnessed the destruction his demonic servants has caused in both Ellesmere and the surrounding kingdoms.

The Choryn Kingdom, which was one of the neighbouring kingdoms of Ellesmere has already lost their novelties, the king was dead and so was his family, even the army of Choryn Kingdom has been razed to the ground. It was all due to the four demons that have been let loose on there.

These ministers were also thankful that those monsters have not wreaked their havoc on Ellesmere. If they did then it would be troublesome. The Queen has controlled them on time before they could do anything drastic.

However, the previous King of Ellesmere and the private Army of Bolrock was already killed when Queen left the courtyard with Rowen without giving any instructions to the four Demons. All of them were mascaraed and then eaten by the demons in just a few minutes. Especially the Death worm, he was already in the Spirit Saint realm. The realm that was only mentioned in the legends.

Rowen could already feel the negative emotions coming from all of them, most of them were scared and some were even angry at him. 'Looks like some of their family members were in the private Army of Bolrock.' He thought and then laughed in his heart.

He silently paced towards the big golden throne in the middle of the giant hall and then elegantly sat on it. He was truly happy from his heart, the first step towards the greatness has already been achieved by him, he is already the strongest existence in the whole of Rubloa. He can rule the whole continent now if he wanted.

He manifested the golden colour crown and placed it on top of his head, he could feel it's power nourish his life force. He then cast his gaze in front of him and waved his hand to all the ministers, ordering them to sit down. All of them sat on their sofa-like chairs again and relaxed a bit.

Rowen could feel the negative power in the atmosphere decreasing. He smiled and then looked at the two beautiful women standing at the door of the Throne room, he flicked his black iris gently, indicating them to sit on the minister chairs.

The previous kings have never bought their wives in the throne room, therefore, there was no queen throne in the room.

Blair glanced all around the room and didn't find any empty spot to sit down, she was confused where to sit, however, when she saw the queen pacing towards a fat minister and then killing him. She got enlightened.

As she has already awakened the Flame Elf bloodline she was not hesitant to kill anyone and on top of that she was already an assassin before becoming a Flame Elf, that is why without any further hesitation she burned down the minister sitting on the front chair and sat down in his stead.

Lilias also threw the dead body of the fat minister towards the guards and sat down on his seat. Both she and Blair sat opposite to each other with an arrogant air around them.

A smile formed on Rowen's face, he was very happy with his mom and Blair. He didn't care about the dead ministers anyway, both of them were the loyal dogs of the previous king. Killing them was the best thing that could have happened to them. He could also feel the negative emotions of fear raising again in the room, this time even stronger than before.

The other ministers were dead silent in the room, they didn't even dare to breathe too loudly, in case they offended the King. The whole room turned dead silent. No one dared to speak a bit.

Rowen laughed out loud seeing all their covering expressions.

"Raise the taxes of the Kingdom to ten times and whoever fails to pay the taxes, the private army will be under the control of those families, they will suffer a fate worse than death."

Rowen declared. His voice reverberating loudly in the big silent hall. He was doing all this to gain as much negative power from the kingdom as he can, so he could become powerful. Although he had powerful servants like Death worm and the three-headed demonic dog. He wanted to empower himself, this weak body of his.

Only by empowering himself would he have enough confidence to step out of Rubloa and reach out to other places in this vast and magnificent world. He wanted to freely travel in all the directions and reign his terror throughout all the life forms that he comes in contact with and to do so, he needed to gain power, he needed to empower his body.

And to increase his cultivation the best way was to get as much negative emotions as he can from all the people around him. As the basis of his Demonic technique was the negative emotions, it was best for him to stick to it. Using any other kind of cultivation will not only weaken his demonic dao, but it can also even cause a backlash from his demonic technique.

It doesn't matter to him if someone was innocent or guilty, he would use anyone and everyone to gain as much power as he can and reach the true Demonic Dao.

Everyone in the Throne Room was dumbfounded and expressionless, all of them were angry at his decision but they could do nothing to him or they will be killed, the fear that the two devilish beauties have instilled in them was terrifying. All of them were scared shitless when two of them killed two ministers, without even blinking an eye.

Only Devils could kill like that, and it was apparent to all of them that their new king was a devil himself, he had many demonic beasts as his servant and then these two devilish beauties, that killed without even batting an eye.

None of them spoke and accepted their fate silently whilst releasing negative emotions that empowered Rowen.
