the invitations

A delicious scent wafted through the air and into my nostrils. I opened the large wooden door to the dining room, and I was greeted by a cheerful atmosphere.

Elias, Sylvia, and Mia brought breakfast dishes into the hall, while Fynn and Emma joyfully set the table.

Chairs scraped across the floor, dishes clattered and echoed in the hall.

"Good morning!" Mia beamed at me, running up to me and giving me a good morning kiss.

I naturally returned it and also greeted the group aloud, "Good morning."

"Morning!" Emma and Elias said simultaneously.

"Good morning."

"I wish you a wonderful good morning, Your Majesty Leo," Fynn joined in with Sylvia.

I sighed and simply nodded, "Do you need any help?"

"No!" Mia hugged my arm and led me to our seats, "we were just finishing up."

"Next time, feel free to let me know, I'm happy to help."

"But Your Majesty!" Fynn bowed slightly, "it's unheard of for the king to..."

But Emma interrupted him, "Exactly! Next time, you can help your wife, you sexist."

With eyebrows raised in confusion, I looked at Emma and just smiled it off.

Once everyone was seated at the table, I cleared my throat and announced the news, "You may have already heard from Fynn, but I want to inform you that today we are inviting the first people to our kingdom!"

And like clockwork, everyone's expressions lit up, and I saw my wife excitedly wiggling in her chair.

We ate leisurely and cheerfully, cleared the table, and all went towards the throne room.

Beforehand, I asked the assistant, "What do I need to invite residents?"

[You need 10 servings of food per person, enough mana stones, and a few alluring words.]

"Alluring words?" I asked.

[Yes. Why else would they follow your invitation?]

"Ah," I nodded slowly, that makes sense. "How long will it take for them to arrive here then?"

[It depends on how quickly they accept the invitation.]

Understood, I thought, and entered the throne room.

The four robots stood unchanged in the middle of the room and only moved again when we entered.

"Your Majesty!" they greeted me and my wife, smiling at the others.

My queen and I each sat on our thrones, the family tree behind us still as it was the first time, and the colorful light cast beautiful patterns on the floor.

"I just spoke with the assistant," I began, "it may take a while for the first people to arrive. They must be willing to come here."

"What if nobody accepts?" Emma asked skeptically.

I smiled confidently, "Sooner or later, someone will." I scratched my head and said, "If you want, you can leave, and I'll send out the invitations first."

"Then we'll take a stroll around the island!" Elias announced loudly, prompting Sylvia to smile and link arms with him.

"Go ahead," I smiled, "if you get bored, we can go monster hunting later."

He smiled, but his eyes didn't seem thrilled, "Better not," he replied, "maybe something different."

With that, he casually left the room, and I didn't ask any questions because he had spoken decisively. Emma hesitated, her gaze shifting between Mia and Fynn.

"I don't need you right now, Fynn, only when the first ones arrive."

Emma's expression brightened, and she brushed a brown strand of hair from her face as she smiled at Fynn.

"If you'll excuse me, Your Majesty," he said with a slight bow, "please call on me when you need me."

After saying these words, they both left the castle's most beautiful room.

I looked at my wife with a smile, "If you want, you can leave too."

Without hesitation, she shook her head, stood up from her throne, and sat on my lap.

"No, what would I do with those lovebirds? I'd just be the fifth wheel."

"What's going on with Fynn and Emma?" I asked as I wrapped an arm around my wife's waist.

"Don't you see it?" the queen asked, "it's going well!"

Then she smiled and nestled closer to me.

I scratched my head because I had noticed that too, I wanted to know a little more specific.

I shrugged, opened my status system, and went to the population section where I could invite the wooed.

"Let's get started then!" I smiled.

That was surprisingly simple, I thought, because I just had to select which group of people I wanted to invite, write an invitation letter, and choose how many of them to send out.

"Take notes," Mia said after I explained it, and for the next two hours, she tried to write an appropriate letter.

It wasn't as easy as it seemed. We had to convince people that it's better here than where they were before and convey trust that we would be good hosts.

During that time, when my wife needed a shot brake, I fetched the sub crystals needed to make the personal IDs, of each district, and gave one to each robot.

After this we continued an some time later, we were very satisfied.

"Are you sure about this?" I asked Mia uncertainly, "it sounds a bit cheesy."

"I don't think so. It mentions all the important aspects that many people desire…At least that's what comes to mind right now. Besides, it's a bit mysterious and well..." She shrugged.

I scratched my head and shrugged as well, "All right, I said I trust you, so... here we go! Assistant, I want you to invite 50,000 fleeing people."

[Confirmed]

[500,000 servings of food have been used, 50,000 high-class mana stones, ...]

[Please wait]

[Successful]

[Invitations have been sent and will appear at the best possible moment before the eyes of the people.]

"So that's it, hmm?" I pondered and looked along the red carpet.

I can only hope that not everyone declines.

That's why I invited many to spread the risk or increase the likelihood.

My wife also looked satisfied and smiled at me, giving me a big kiss, and was about to stand up when I held her waist tighter.

"Not so fast, miss!" I grinned, lifted her up, and sat her on my lap so that one leg passed on either side of me.

Then I hugged her back and pulled her body closer.

Surprised but not unwilling, she squealed, and started to smile, with a slightly flushed face she hugged my neck, bit on her under lip a little and gave me a erotic kiss.

I let my hands slowly stroke her back, moving up a bit where I opened the cage, then down where I massaged her well formed and soft buttock. With my mound gently kissed her neck.

My wife's warm breath quickened. We automatically moved our hips in unison, and I slowly opened her blue and white dress.

With a "Ha" from Mia, the incredibly soft, warm buns gently jiggled out of their packaging.

They swayed gently, and I aimed for the pink tips.
