CHAPTER 13 (17162-18743)

After the chat in the group, I waited for the milk tea to arrive. I remember going to India once and having different kinds of milk tea in different states. The tea was sometimes wonderful and sometimes more than enough to make me stay awake at nights. It was more useful than coffee. Remembering about coffee, it is indeed sometime since I had had coffee. While I was thinking about different things, the door was opened and a lady came inside. She was beautiful with brown brunette hair and had a beautiful long body. She smiled at me and bowed and said, "Greeting's saint-king to arrive at my shop. I am the heiress to the house of rosewood and will inherit the title of an earl." She moved her hands to show three maids carrying different kettles and snacks. "These are the food I prepared for you. Please have it."

After the items were set up and they retreated I asked her, "Please sit down. So what are you after. After all, you did not come to simply provide me with this wonderful delicacies, did you?"

She smiled and said, "I had sent an invitation to a party set up tomorrow. It is a beast party with different animals in exhibition. They are well tamed and will play alongside the works of humans."

I had conquered the world but rarely came in contact with animals. Maybe I should try them. I also sent a message to my AI butler to collect and breed different animals. Although I had kept bionic living beings, I never bred any animals for war purpose or pets. I decided to breed some animals in the direction of cuteness to keep them as pets and others in the direction of ferociousness to become war-pets.

I smiled at her knowing that she was interested in associating with me and my power. I asked her, "How do you tame the animals."

She smiled and said, "We have unique magical spell structures created in our family. Our special bloodline also create familiarity with different animals and animal hybrids. Nothing to do with animals like dragons though, mostly feline beings."

I moved forward and asked her, "Can you conquer a fox miss?"

She smiled and said, "I can try, but it is was never tried till now. It would be better to wait for some time."

It seemed their bloodline was not that useful. Bulk's bloodline was more inclusive in that case. It would be better to talk to Bulk about keeping a pet. I can also genetically engineer animals to completely be subservient to me.

The invitation was useless to me but I decided to go to the party. I was not much involved with the culture of this kingdom and it is time to involve in it. I am filled with more knowledge from the clones as I had discarded all other memories, so as not to be corrupted. Only pure information and knowledge, similar to accepting data from AI was accepted. It seems there is one more way for me to enjoy life. I smiled at her and said, "I will be coming to the party. I am interested in it. When is the party going to start?"

She smiled and said, "It is at the dawn of night at the twentieth hour. Is there anything else I can do to satisfy you, my lord."

I smiled and answered, "I will be trying to enjoy the party properly. If you satisfy me, I will be giving you a gift. I can make you my spokesperson and allow you to manage temporary followers who come under me for this year temporarily. If you can satisfy me then I will be supporting you later too. But let me say that all of that should begin based on today's performance."

She was happy to hear about the opportunity to come under me. She smiled and bowed to show her gratitude. She said, "Thank you sir, I will be trying my best to impress you. Please have the tea. I will be calling upon the orchestra so that you can enjoy the time."

I smiled and said to her, "Please ask them to play the 'red dragon take away the princess.' That is my favourite one."

She stood and bowed, "Of course sir, I will be taking care of it." She went outside. After some time the orchestra came inside the accompanying room and started playing the song. I drank tea listening to the song.

It was heart soothing to enjoy some tea and listen to the music. It was some time since I had relaxed. I walked to different places. I saw a very huge library and many people trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible. These low-class nobles and middle-class nobles did not have much personal books and hence they took the time to absorb knowledge from here. I also saw a lor of people trying to eat as much food possible due to high energy content in the food and also due to delicacies.

I was checking the buffet different kinds of food when I heard an argument going on between two people. It would be better to take not care about them. I walked out after finding that there are nothing special about anything. While I was trying to walk away, I saw that the women who was supporting one of the man who was arguing pointing her finger at me and shouting. "Hey you. Get out of the way. Can't you see my husband the viscount is having an argument here."

I smiled and looked at both of them. A pitiful person. One viscount and other a powerful baron who had recently become more powerful to be enough to challenge the viscount. After hearing the remark of the women, who was nothing more than the daughter of a count who was not loved enough, but due to dowry from her mother's side was given a chance to marry the heir of the house of viscount, both of them stared at me angrily. If they do not apologize to me seeing my wonderful clothes and my temperament and also me not showing any fear or negative emotion to the fact of hearing that the heir to viscount was talking here, then both of them are fools.

It seemed that both of them was indeed fools. The son of baron approached me and growled, "What are you doing here fool. Get out here."

I smiled and spoke disdainfully, "What do you know about power? Are all nobles foolish as you to make enemies everywhere without knowing anything. Is there such a foolish heir."

He spoke arrogantly, "You do not understand anything about us nobles. You are nothing but a pitiful commoner."

I spoke, "When did I appear to be a commoner and you fool! Can't you see that my dress is more luxurious than yours. Can't you understand that I am of higher stature than yours."

He statured a little. He then determinably spoke, "Who knows? Maybe you are nothing more than a talented commoner who was favoured by a noble. No matter what, I am a noble and a noble always stands with a noble."

I released my aura to scare all the people there and spoke, "You are indeed a fool. You! Woman! Are you to make him fight me? Are you perhaps provoking him and trying to shift the fight? You are indeed a powerful person in terms of calculations. You will face my true wrath."

I walked away from there without giving them much consideration. They were still speaking among themselves about the fact that I might still be a commoner. It seems I overestimated them. It would be better to take action myself but when I can already take advantage of the rules of the society, why should I work myself. I smiled not thinking much about the fact about the incident. I took the photos of the people from the recoding that is occurring all the time and gave it to my clone, commanding to give it to the earl's daughter I met today. If she can handle this issue, then it would indeed be possible for me to accept her.

While I was walking back to my dormitory, I thought about the fact that it was allowed to hire adventures or mercenaries or more precisely outsiders. They can work as muscles for the nobles. It would have been better to get someone from my marquis territory but since many would be bringing people from outside the kingdom, how can I not have someone from outside the kingdom. I sent a message to my AI butler to arrange a competition at Eastern empire to arrange a competition to select a powerful warrior to appear here. I wanted someone who was not already famous but strong enough to work for me. I let the AI butler arrange the competition and kept the competition within the upper echelons of the empire. Even though my empire did not have nobilities due to being a newly formed empire, it did have its own upper echelons. I was going to sleep for now. I was waiting for my wife to return thinking about the format of the competition that needs to be arrange. I was going to appear in the competition myself since it would be the first of the kind competition in the empire.
