Time for expansion

It had been 6 months since the alliance between my kingdom and Luveria had started and until now everything was going very well , me and Regis where very good friends and I had even introduced him to Salem after 4 months. At first Salem was very skeptical about him but after meeting him and talking with him they too had became friends and they were getting along very well , sometimes I worried about ending in a ntr situation but I doubt that can happen as at least according to my skill [Observe] her affection to me was 100% that being soul mates level , I mean literally since I can actually feel a connection with her but it was actually that part that kinda made it hard.

"Sigh..." for the 100th time now I sigh just thinking about the future , I wasn't worried about the kingdom stuff since I was pretty sure I was the strongest human on Remnant but it was the future with Salem that made it hard. I mean even in my last life I never had a relationship so deep , I didn't know what to do or how to proceed since I've never progressed so far in a relationship. I literally skipped all the other steps going right into marriage so yeah it is what it is , but I think that it will all go alright since I had dodged Ozy's mistakes...probably. Well that is something I can't really solve at the moment so first I'm solve all the things and maybe in the process solve this one.

In this period of time the school remained closed as we were still taking care of the professors but now finally there are enough teachers and I was sure none of them would betray me as all of them are people that have access to my system. Speaking of which my system had opened more options when I formed and alliance with Regis , now allowing every person I considered a citizen of my kingdom to have access to it but different from the one Salem and the original habitants of the settlement had that included the status page , inventory and skills page the one they had would only include the status page and the inventory.

There were three that I noticed the first one being that Salem had access to the shop function but she could only buy stuff related to this world , which was a way to stop her from knowing about other worlds I think and the second thing I noticed is that she only had access to it after she had hit 100% in the affection part of her status which I guess only the people that truly loved me could have access to it. That meant that the access to the system depended on the person's affection for me but from all the people that I had meet Salem was the only one who reached 100% and the rest stopped at 90% , those being Rolland and Alfred and they had access to all the functions.

Those being the gain of 2 status points and the ability to allocate them and an infinite inventory and those restrictions bring me to the third thing I noticed. The villagers having an affection that was a bit above 50% had a limited inventory space and couldn't gain extra status points has the ones they received on each level up was automatically allocated to the status they used more or had more affinity with. And that created a lot of job varieties in my kingdom , which was something I found very good as each job in the system was very useful. Has more people joined my kingdom the more it would develop thus raising my choices , my final objective was to join all Humanity and prepare it for another clash with the Gods.

But that was something of a distant future so first of all I had to talk with Regis about fusing our kingdoms so that we could expand and open more chances for development. I spoke with Salem about this plan of mine and she agree that it would be the only way to expand our kingdom fast without the usage of grimms. Speaking of grimms I already had a squadron of grimms with me at all times , my squad was probably composed of the strongest grimm in the world at this time has I had created them and let them grind in one of the dungeons , one dungeon for each grimm making it on total 12 dungeons. Until this day my grimm where grinding every day in the dungeons I would create for them.

I left them once again grinding today and went to Regis's castle to talk with him about the fusion I wanted to do , and after explaining to him he looked pensive and said "Well we can join our kingdoms since I know I can trust you but how are we going to take Menagerie without waging a war with all the other forces?" to which I smiled and said "Well I just have to make them join our little alliance" and he had a surprised face when I said that before he started laughing before sayin "Ozma my friend , you sometimes surprise me" and after that we started going through all the necessary things for the fusion and after a month of preparing we were finally ready.

After we double checked I teleported me and Regis to the center of Luveria in the sky and said while amplifying my voice and his with magic "Citizens of Luveria , I your King Regis Caelum have a message and an announcement to make. From this day onward this kingdom of ours and the kingdom of Lordran shall become one , under the name of Vale. The Kingdom of Vale shall prosper and grow into a name that will be respected by everyone in the world". And after he finished his announcement all the people in Luveria were elated as their kingdom had just changed owner and name.

All of them bowed towards the two figures in the sky and started celebrating but some of them didn't like the current change and tried to speak up but as they were about to voice their opinions the two figures in the sky disappeared , now appearing in the room they had been talking ready to plan who would join next in their alliance. After a whole day of talking and planning I finally went home and as I entered my room I saw Salem sleeping to I silently went to take a bath before sleeping in the sheets and hugging her like a little spoon.
