New Beginning or ?

The Phoenix kingdom fell within half a year. Zane frequently visited the front lines and astounded both allies and enemies with his strength. Soon the tales of his accomplishments reached the ear of big shots in all countries. Some big countries were indifferent while some found this new intriguing. Nonetheless, Zane made many neighboring countries wary of the Golden Star kingdom. The fall of the Phoenix kingdom left many lands noble-less as a result many were eager to get a piece of the cake.

Dan's achievements were not low but he kept a low profile. The main reason for this decision was that he became wary of the crown prince, he often felt the familiar surge of power just when the crown prince left the fronts back to the capital. He assumed that the one with great power, whom Aurora slept with, was Zane.

During the conquest, he also reached the third level of Elysian Guardian. This elevation in power scored him two abilities. The Shield of Guardian was a defensive type of ability. It enhanced his defense while also enabling him to cast an illusionary shield with a radius of 3 meters in every direction and create a sphere of protection. Another ability was Farsight. This ability greatly enhanced his vision and granted him the power to estimate others' powers through his eyes. Because of this power, he understood the real power of the crown prince.

The difference in raw power was difficult to overcome as he understood the power of a prince. He was a bit dissatisfied but there was little he could do.

Being one of the people with the most achievements, he became a serious candidate for ruling the new lands conquered.

The king summoned him at the end of the war. The banquet was much like the last one when Dan participated. However, the people's welcoming attitude at the banquet was far from the skepticism they shared in the last one. Wherever he went he would be praised, although he felt a little annoyed he accepted the praises and flattery with a smile.

He saw Aurora briefly, her hair completely green and just some strands of brown hair, if one were to look carefully.

She was surrounded by noblewomen as they looked at her in curiosity. She was beautiful as ever in her pale blue dress.

He smiled at her and she smiled back, it was when the ceremony began.

The king summoned the crown prince, praising his achievements and showing his happiness about the future of the kingdom, " I can be at peace, finally." He said while looking genuinely relieved. Zane on his part looked grateful and happy about the king's words. After all, it further solidified his position as the future king and now he became de facto leader of the kingdom.

Surprisingly the next person who was called was Dan, surprised by this turn of events he kneeled in front of the king.

After praises, the king expressed his intention of giving him the title of Count and a piece of land in a fertile area of newly conquered lands.

This stirred a sensation throughout the hall, many felt envious while some cursed inwardly, and some didn't even bother to express their disdain.

"I am humbled by your grace, your majesty. But I would like to express my desire…. May I?"

His words shocked the people in the hall even Zane's eyes went wide.

"Speak." The king said. he, too, was surprised.

"I thank Your Majesty for granting this wish. I would like to remain as I am. I am grateful for your benevolence. However, I want to remain the honorary knight and serve the kingdom this way ."

He stated his intention carefully.

This answer confused the rank of nobles, they couldn't believe someone would reject such a gift. Thus his rejection caused them to feel a bit wary. ' What's his goal?' some thought.

"Oh? Why would you want that?"

"It's like this that I'm incapable of managing territories and the way of sword and spear is the only thing I know." Dan was putting a resolved look while he scoffed inside.

'I would probably be a better ruler than many presents here, but that would be unwise given our current situation.'

Many in the hall sympathized with him, "Well, for someone of commoner upbringing ruling a territory is hard." Then they would shake their head disappointingly while their true desire was hidden beneath their smiling faces.

Seeing this the king sighed, seemed disappointed he said, "If this is what you wish it shall be granted." The king waved his hands and rewarded him handsomely with a more elaborate mansion in the capital and gold coins. Dan received the gifts gratefully and retreated.

.........

The event of banquet unified many nobles behind the crown prince, making him the sole pillar of the kingdom's future.

Dan became a respectful figure and his authority within the capital was no less than the Royal Captain of the royal palace.

He was waiting at the door of the crown prince's chamber.

Through his Farsight, he was watching the scene inside. A brown-haired young man holding a green-haired young fox woman in mid-air and fucking her in pussy. Her legs were wrapped around his back tightly and he held her thighs, her breasts were resting on his chest and her arms were locked around his neck head. he was kissing her neck and her tail was wrapped around his thigh, occasionally teasing his nether region.

The lewd and wet slapping sounds filled the room as he moved her up and down on his dick.

"...aghnnn…." Her rhythmic moans filled the room with irresistible temptation.

"... He is outside of the room, Wouldn't he hear your loud moans?" Zane said to her ear while panting.

"...ahhn…aghnn..he might hear me…but…. Let him hear ME.. " she almost screamed from pleasure. Dan felt his member stiffen when he heard her moan.

He rubbed his bulge through his pants as he watched more of the illicit affair.

On the other side, Aurora was kissing Zane passionately and her tongue danced with him in their mouth.

"....hmmm…." She moaned in his mouth when he start walking toward the door. A fear crept to her heart as she tightened her entrance around his cock.

"….aghnn…mmm… D-Don't…" she said between kisses.

"….Don't….. Mmmm…worry…" he said as walked toward the door.

He then pushed her body against the door making her back leaning on the door's frame. He then raised her thigh with his hands. She was sandwiched between his body and the door, he leaned forward licking her neck down to her collarbone, and then engaged in another sensual kiss. In the meantime, he never ceased his dick's back and forth and more wet sounds were created. The shaking of the door and the loud sound of slapping meats were easy to notice on the other side of the door. Dan found it fortunate that the guards weren't present for whatever reason or else his bulging pants would be the cause of shame and embarrassment.

On the other side, Aurora was holding back her moans, her hand muffling her moans as she kept it around her mouth. Her face was that of pure ecstasy and pleasure as he rammed his member into her pussy.

He buried his face in her neck between her soft hair, inhaling her fragrance and feeling a pent-up release coming.

"….. I'm close…." He pushed her harder, squashing her breasts in the process. She tried hard to hold back her moans.

"…ahhhh…" With a guttural groan, his cock twitched in her pussy and his seed overflowed her cave.

His legs almost buckled if not for his willpower and superhuman strength. She orgasmed with trembling, unable to hold her moans any longer she moaned whorsihly. She then leaned her exhausted body back to Zane's broad chest.

'The sex with her became more pleasurable. She is the only one who can take me…..' He hugged her body and caressed her back slowly moving to the bed.

His eyes looking at her perfect face and blue eyes had a new light in them. The one of affection and love.

He put her body on the bed gently and whispered, "I will go meet a friend." She nodded lazily. He then start cleaning himself with a wet towel and got dressed.

Dan on the other side had long released his load in his handkerchief throwing it away. He stood up when Zane came out. Seeing him Zane smiled lightly, "I hope you didn't wait too much, I apologize for this… delay. You see, me and my concubine are quite passionate about our love." He said and chuckled lightly.

Dan felt a burning sensation upon hearing his words, he swallowed a bit hard trying to focus. Yet different emotions like jealousy, arousal, and anger kept his mind wandering.

Seeing his a bit listless expression, Zane smile strangely and said, "Why not we discuss your new assignment in my office?" he said, pulling him out of his inner struggle.

Dan seemingly coming to his senses replied, "Ah, your highness, Pardon me. My mind wandered a bit. Of course, let's meet in your office." He said and followed him behind before glancing at the door of the chamber.

...............

"Huff….huff…." A blue-hair wolf man panted while he released his huge dick from the body of a busty and beautiful woman. The woman fell to the bed like a puppet with cut strings twitching and leaking white liquid from her snatch.

Just then the door of the room he was in swung open and a red hair beauty strode in.

"What the ….. You horny dog!" she yelled at the wolf man.

The wolfman scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly, revealing his slightly sharp fangs.

"I left you alone just for a moment and now…..sigh ..... You are hopeless."

"Ah… sorry? I can help myself when I see a ripe fruit." He said licking his lips and looking at the fallen woman.

Red hair shook her head, "Doesn't matter. I think I've found clues regarding our mission."

"No shit!" the wolfman was surprised.

She smiled and said, "It's real. Although this realm only has one continent and a weak one on top of that. We still have hopes about the mission."

"So?" he asked a bit impatiently.

"Yeah. I am eager too, apparently, there is a kingdom up to the north of here around the middle of the continent. Around six months to one year of travel. There is a prince who has great strength according to the rumors. He conquered a small size kingdom around twelve months ago easily and his fame spread far and wide."

"The point?"

"The point is that his strength increased day by day."

"Maybe he just hide his strength?"

"That is also possible, but here is the next clue.... He has a Foxwoman concubine." She smiled knowingly while the man's face brighten from the news.

"Although it's a bit different from the Nine-Tailed Clan's method, it's likely he doesn't know of anything related to their customs and culture."

"So he is a guardian?" he asked with a wary apparent in his tone.

She nodded, "It's probability is high."

"What we should do? Informing the High Kings?" he sounded exhausted.

"Well, we can do that. But also we can do something else.." She said smiling a bit.

He narrowed his eyes, " What's your plan?" he asked.

Her smile grew wider and she started,

"Well...."
