This one... and this cutie as well.

The Lora Kingdom.

The beautiful kingdom submerged in earth, wind, and water elements. Each of these powerful element had been used to grace the kingdom with eye-catching attractions. The citizens were also using those far better compared to other kingdoms.

Because the soil was soaked in magic, the colorful gardens were scattered along with the capital. There were a lot of lakes as well with lovers on the boats enjoying the glittering water. The wind itself was spreading the fragrance of flowers causing the capital to be in a lively mood nonstop.

Of course, nothing can last forever or at least not disturbed.

""""...""""

The citizens froze when they saw the metal creations going through their streets. The carriage itself was not some normal carriage that merchants from the Perante Metal Kingdom use. It was way bigger and clad in the metal defenses like the creations pulling it.

The creations were pulling the carriage, so it is at least some noble going to the castle!

Surrounding this carriage were soldiers carrying the thick metal aura that sullied the colorful land. Of course, Perante Metal Kingdom also had cheerful citizens, but the capital itself was shrouded in the dark metal aura, so the vibes were different.

'I would rather be here than in that metal kingdom.'

Still, everything had its own charm.

Reigner just felt like the Lora Kingdom looks closer to his 'homeworld' except the magic elements that are used by the citizens. The lands were also emphasized by the magic, but those just make the kingdom more beautiful.

Every human on the earth would welcome such magic.

"What are they here for?"

"It looks like our soldiers are... just keeping an eye... with respect?"

"Is there going to be an alliance?"

"I can't tell it."

Listening to those whispers, Reigner's lips went up as he would have similar thoughts. Of course, he is not going for a nice alliance, but something similar to that. His carriage also didn't stop once he passed through the royal castle's walls.

He barged into the castle, and thanks to its majestic wide corridors, the carriage could keep going.

Still, he already made a show.

Many people clad in luxurious robes wanted to shower him with their own element, but the royal guard stopped everyone with the king's order.

Thuuu~~

The gates leading to the king's chamber opened by themselves then! It would be a pity if those also got stomped upon! Going straight to the chamber, Reigner's carriage roof slowly split up. His whole body then became visible for everyone in the king's chamber.

Royal family, the children of the king and nobles... with their wives and concubines. Everyone was here as it was a way too unusual event. Furthermore, it would be a shame to not take a look at the new rising noble from the metal kingdom.

So everyone shifted their eyes to Reigner who stood with his chin high.

He can not show his earthling decorum, even a bit of that.

"I have read the letter, Noble Medusa."

"I am glad you have sacrificed your time, Lora King. So?"

"So you are an earthling, aren't you? Why would you request the assistance of my people in the world hope lands?"

No respect was within Reigner's tone, so the king himself casually spoke with his eyes lingering on his form. Similarly to the father in law, Lora King was looking around his thirties with an imposing aura shrouding his body.

"In order to come back to your world, you need to prepare up the land within the world hope. This land can not be sullied by our world's energy, otherwise, the teleportation won't materialize."

"Exactly. I need to prepare the land, so I want the troops to keep an eye for other kingdoms people. Your and Perante Kingdom is enough for that. I will then come back home."

"So why do you request my royal blood to join your ranks? Not only the royal blood but also other nobility?"

Before coming here, Reigner told Paula to ignore all his words. The reason for that is exactly the words of the king. He wanted people to join his ranks to avoid the Lora Kingdom doing anything behind his back.

Even if going against Reigner would be the worst choice of their lives, some nobles might try to test their luck and get some loyalty and rewards by getting his head. Reigner is going to stop that by asking for their daughters.

Women.

Beauties.

The pleasure.

In this fantasy world filled with strength, there is no better reward and pleasure other than that. The strength and power-up come close, but those fall to the category of 'status'. Reigner also knew that Lora King treasures his children.

"What do you fight for? For a kingdom, for the family... But during all those wars, the slaves are inevitably taken. It is like a golden rule here. And what are the fates of those slaves? The most worthy ones get their bodies sullied while the rest are given for lower people and then send to the work."

The victor takes everything to his hands, including the lives and bodies of the fallen!

"..."

"Believe me or not, in my world, beauty is also influential. Money and beauty, that is. With the money, a lot of idiots tarnish their beauty with some shitty operations and so on... Well, what I want is to have some high-quality women in my bed before I leave."

Reigner sneered then. He was looking so convincing one might call him a good actor. There were also some experiences of Nightmare flashing through his mind where even more 'high quality' beauties were the targets.

But in the higher worlds, the women themselves are the kings, leaders, and bosses all over.

"I see a lot of beautiful vases here... Yet again, believe me, or not, but I think you are going to win the world hope's land. So there is no way for me to even see such beauties yet again after I disappear, right? Let me taste them then."

"There is a limit to your... lust, Young Noble."

"Exactly because I am a young, I can do my stuff for a long time before my leave."

"..."

The paintings of Reigner are way too vehement. Those paintings can destroy his whole kingdom and him coming in with the carriage had told everyone that those paintings are with him. There was also chance Reigner distributed a few of these around his capital secretly...

They couldn't risk.

"Not like I am going to sully their bodies without any reward. I am willing to give you a powerful painting. Treat it as your greatest insurance or weapon of mass destruction."

"What if you have done something to the painting?"

"Since you have read the letter, I am sure you know the origin of those paintings. And do I look like someone who uses the earth element? Everyone can use those, and I am willing to part with one after your women serve me for enough. Of course, your troops too."

The king pondered, his eyes skimming through his children... He also peeked at these wives, then other nobilities felt his gaze... The poor mothers and daughters trembled, thinking that their fate is going to be similar to the slaves... that their families had brought over from the countless wars.

If that's the case... then they won't be able to recover from such treatment. Of course, unlike the whole army, the one doing them would be Reigner... But still... Who knows what kind of a man he is in the bed?

Reigner wasn't really thinking deeply about it as well. He never thought that the treatment of the slaves can be this rough and pitiful. But that's how it is in the world where the strength rules, the beauty rewards.

If he knew the thoughts of the nobility ladies and that they suddenly got hit by the conscience, then he would laugh at the loud, his lips continuously showering them off with 'Disgusting' word.

Anyway, he had to put a strong front and so he did.

"This woman... And this... This as well... Oh, what a nice cutie. I am taking her as well... Hmm, I am also taking this one."

Reigner was pointing and the ladies, choosing them like toys. They blushed, let out some cries, and trembled, but yet their family heads said nothing. They stood silent, their eyes on the king... In the past, they also had displayed similar to Reigner looks.

But the target of their fingers was... women of the less status.

Other than disgust that their daughters and wives are going to be tainted, a few men also had jealousy welling up in their hearts.

Kinda fucked up they are, those gentlemen!

If they had similar treasures... and barged to the Perante Kingdom or the beast one... Yes, such a question and 'what if' appeared in their minds.

"Enter Noble Medusa's carriage."

"""""...."""""

"When are you going to the world hope land?"

"Next week."

And just like that, Reigner began the preparations to come back home.

During his comeback, Reigner turned his eyes to the lady sitting silently in the corner.

"It's been a while, Sylvie."
