Fae is an ancient race of magical beings that live in this world alongside humans after a long war. The humans and the fae had been at war for as long as any of them could think back, but the appearance of a dominant and violent demonic race forced a pact between the two races. 

One may be curious why humans would be worthy to have a pact with the oldest race known to date, it is because despite their apparent weak nature, humans have an absurd ability to adapt and learn new skills. Many say humans are incredibly 'lucky' but the oldest of fae is aware it is something called disposition. 

Although they don't live for thousands of years like fae, they are blessed with talented children in every generation. Not to the extent of surpassing other races but enough to survive and stand on their own in a cruel world. This is why the fae recognized them as worthy foe and gifted the five fruits to the five individuals at that time hoping they will be strong enough to occupy the demons. 

Kai looked at the lavish decoration and entered with Zira on his side as his date. Just s they stepped into the threshold, a meticulously dressed butler asked their names.

"Mr Kai accompanied by Lady Zira Bunisin!"

'Ow wow.' They call their names like in the movies.

"Seeing your stupefied expression, this is the first time coming to a royal baguette?" Zira asked her partner for the night.

"Yes." Kai agreed not caring if this makes him un_ sophisticated.

The peculiar thing is that many people are watching them intently even those pretending not to be are actually paying a close attention to them.

"Okay I came, now I will find an inconspicuous time to slip away." Kai said to his date. Zira is wearing a light purple gown. It's color is so light it may as well be white.

It makes her dark colored hair and eyes pop while hiding her sharp sword master aura making her a little delicate beauty.

"Did I tell you how beautiful you look today?" He looked at her and asked. She looks around seeing everyone's eyes glued to them her cheeks flushed.

"Kai?" Victor's voice sounded from behind Kai.

"How come you're here?" Victor and Kai looked at each other in surprise.

"What? Think just because you ditch me, no one else will pick me up?" Kai rolled his eyes.

"Don't pout, I am sorry about that but I promise it is for your own good." Victor pulled his arm lightly. The act is simple but between two men it seems very intimate.

"Ehem.." Zira cleared her throat and Kai turned to her in concern.

"Are you okay?" He pulled her away from the gawking crowd towards an empty seat. "Is it cold here? We should go back if you're not feeling well." His words fired in rapid speed mostly because he is flustered from the encounter with Victor.

"I am fine. Besides we can't leave before the royal family makes an entrance." Zira smiled. "The eyes on us are too much so I was thinking maybe you and your friend could be a bit more careful with your interactions. You are my date after all."

Hearing her words Kai seems confused.

"Rumous in the capital would ruin my reputation making it hard for me to develop my family's territory like I plan to." She pulled his hand and spoke softly.

"I know about your reputation and what happened in the academy between your orphans and the nobles. I know they are now either hating you or need a favor from you which is why I agreed to accompany you here to boost my own reputation. Don't turn it into me being called a third party in your relationship with another man." In the end of her statement she is whisper yelling in outrage.

"Okay. Calm down your grip on my arm, it would fracture the bone if I was a normal man." That's when she realized she is tightly gripping him by the arm and because she is a strong warrior, a normal man would have lost an arm by now.

"Fine. I will be a good partner from now on." Kai relented. It's not like he has no plans of his own.

"Thank you." She said just in time for the royal representative to come.

"His highness the crown prince Nolan Bhalomi." The same voice suddenly shouted and the people stopped what they were doing and stood in attention Victor appeared next to Kai and also looked forward.

The crown prince entered slowly in his robe which Kai assumed is the royal robe, 'lame' but also dazzling with golden threads and a large red and gold crown in the middle.

Long fiery red hair and golden eyes. Tall, narrow waste and wide shoulders. If there is a crown for being handsome then this man will certainly wear it well.

Those molten gold but lazy eyes making people feel like they are making a fuss. He is wearing long white pants, a light red shirt that is open showing strong chest muscles the robe is draped careless on his shoulder but seems out of place as if he didn't want to put it on but it's making his outfit look effortlessly good.

"Close your mouth, you're drooling." Victor said from the side of Kai who touched the side of his mouth before realizing Victor is joking.

Victor chuckled but the eyes are a bit chilling.

"In any case the crown prince already has three wives he adores, don't get your heart broken." Victor said narrowing his eyes but Zira quickly got between them in a subtle way which reminded Kai of their earlier conversation.

"General Jiang you have made a tremendous...." The speech is long but he is basically thanking the retiring general for his contribution to the kingdom.

Others followed toasting to the general and giving well wishes. The general in question has fiery red hair just like the crown prince and that chin looks the same. It seems the king is not happy with his in laws giving him a piece of desolate land that will not feed anyone on the other side of the kingdom.

Worst still, making his grandson deliver said reward/ insult. Kai still hasn't decided if he should feel sorry for the crown prince when Victor chuckled mirth fully.

The general looked to be on the verge of bursting out in anger but is holding it in with thin strands that may snap at any moment.

"The man looks to be losing the inner battle." Kai comments just as the general smashed the cup in his hand and walked out huffing.

"Dramma." Kai couldn't help but comment.

"If it were you what would you do?" Zira asked Kai who answered without thinking.

"Poison him."

"You would wouldn't you?" Victor smirked.

Kai just shrugged. "Can I go now? The host has come and this type of scene makes me who is too comfortable being truthful very uncomfortable." He whispered to Zira who shushed him.

"Don't mess this up for me Kai. I am still your lord." Her purple eyes glisten with a warning.

"Right." Kai said with a fake smile.

The people didn't take long to start conversations to fill the awkward silence left by the angry general. The crown prince on the other hand doesn't seem to have witnessed something out of the ordinary and continued with his princely ramblings.

Kai received a call from Mace, one of the informants who is spying on the saint Paul church. It is a church devoted to the wind spirit God.

The atmosphere in the hall has returned to normal although everyone is wondering what will be the punishment general Jiang will receive for his 'contempt' of the imperial family.

Having rushed outside, Kai opened a face time with Mace who showed him an interesting scene. Rows and rows of small children sleeping outside covering themselves in rags and other ineffective materials. The weather hasn't been good in this area and the mud outside is almost covering them.

"Mace, why are you showing me such things?" Kai asked flabbergasted.

"These orphans could use a home." Mace said looking at him with red eyes.

"Then give them a home." Kai said unconcerned.

"But the orphanage...."

"What about the orphanage? Do you think just because I run an orphanage it is my duty to save every child on the street?" He chuckled. Wouldn't he die of poverty having used all his resources in this way?

"You're an adult now so you can change your grand aspirations of being a renowned sword saint to run a local orphanage in that place and house all those pitiful children." Kai offered.

"But you're the director." Mace sounded genuinely confused by Kai's reaction.

"Of one orphanage darling. May I remind you that I was forced into this job? I know you mean well but if you really want to care for those kids, help them yourself and don't go around forcing people to be kind. That's emotional blackmail and it's not honorable for a holy knight to do that sort of thing."

"That's not the only reason I called. There's a large plot of fertile land here for sale but it is near the border of the kingdom and fae clans."

"The land I have now is fine Mace."

"But that land is dry and nothing can grow there. I know your dream is to be a farmer and you were held back and became an orphanage director. "

"It very sweet of you to care about my dream Mace but I can assure you that my land will recover. Just give it time. It's only been a little over a year. It will not be a wasteland soon enough. Instead of caring about strangers, take care of your own safety out there."

"Alright. There's a file in your inbox with my report."

"Bye bye." Kai chuckled. The kid has a heart of gold but it all seems funny when he are not willing to use his own resources in these charitable situations he always comes across.

Kai is about to go back to that dull party when a large figure stood in front of him. He has sat down by the lake to take this call. Now his gorgeous lake view is blocked by someone with a pair of strong thighs. Unsure whether to enjoy the new sight or get mad.

He tries to look up only to find a pair of sharp green eyes staring at him intently. "Is the person you were talking to just now in Zeron city?"

The general asked having seen and heard the call between Kai and Mace a while ago. "Is that a magic device?" He asked but Kai shook his head.

"It's a communication device." Kai answered.

"Is it made from magic?"

"No. It's technology." Kai said nonchalantly. The general is curious however, he is too prideful to humble himself to ask Kai. He looked at Kai's relaxed state while talking to him and got annoyed.

"You are supposed to give me the seat and go away." The man said in a deep but raspy voice.

"I don't want to." Kai said feeling incredulous.

"It seems you don't know the basic rules of etiquette. I am a noble and you are a commoner. This is what should be done." The man said sounding more irritated than before.

"Okay." Kai stood up and walked away but when the general sat down on the stone bench with a complacent smile, the bench disintegrated into sand at an accelerated pace.

Kai is still at the hallway when a sharp aura attacked him from behind, he used his lightning body to disappear just as a fierce sword light cut the ground where he had been standing before.

Kai appeared behind the fuming man whose red sword aura is swirling around him like a tornado cutting the ground and the nearby grass with its sharpness.

"So old yet you have no way of controlling your temper." Kai sneered. The imposing man turned around to find Kai with a mocking smile.

"You don't understand, I have worked so hard even my precious daughter was taken away by them to be locked up in this damn place. Instead of gratitude what do I get? I lost so many good men I had personally trained and attended each of their weddings." The anger has quickly turned into rage.

"So what?! What do your problems have to do with an innocent bystander like me?" Kai rolled his eyes. If he was an ordinary man he would have died just now.

The general just sneered in response. "Why should I explain myself to the likes of you?"

Instead of being upset, Kai just laughed. "I bet that is exactly how the 'king' feels about your situation." He dusted himself and walked away.

"Wait." She shouted and out of consideration Kai stopped and turned to him.

"I'm sorry, you're right about me acting up in anger to the wrong party it's just so frustrating." He said and then pointed at the pile of sand where he had been seated before.

"Is that your doing?" But Kai ignored him and wanted to go back to his date.

"I already apologized." Kai thinks the old man is whining like a wronged kitten.

"I'm Jiang Shun. What is your name young friend?" Kai turned

"I'm Kai." He smiled and the old man remembered hearing something about Kai.

"You are that young man who runs a very suspicious orphanage. I heard you are a powerful potion master." The old man looked skeptical.

"Did you really produce 1500 power houses?" He asked but Kai smiled dismissively.

"Of course not. That's ridiculous." Kai winked at the old man making him doubt whether the information is true of false.

He looked at the disinterested stone bench and asked Kai suddenly "If you were me what would you do?" Kai looked confused.

"If you gave someone all the blood and sweat of pure hard work and in return they did this to you what would you do?"

Kai thought about it for a while and smiled. "The place is said to be desolate and poor. I would ask for exception from paying tax in the next 100 years and a written decree the royal family will not interfere with the management of the territory. Forever." The old man scoffed.

"That would give them the reason to abandon me to that place and never be accountable for negligence if something happened to me or the locals." Jiang Han said but Kai ignored him.

"Then I would turn it into a wealthy place that just belongs only to me without their claws reaching in." Kai looked at him. Jiang Han narrowed his eyes.

"You are confident to turn a place like that into a wealthy place? What gives you the confidence?"

"Hi, I'm Kai." Kai said distantly.

"Is that supposed to answer me?" Shun raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. I am a genius." He rolled his eyes.

"Hey, don't roll your eyes at me I'm an elder." Jiang Shun scolded.

"The point is that if I were in your place, I would be happy. That place is very large and far away from their politics. Plenty of population which would supply a steady stream of labor for me to make wealth." Kai said stunning the man.

"How would you generate wealth in a dry place with no water or fertile lands?"

"I would find myself an alchemist with a product that can turn hard stone into fertile soil." Kai turned to the disintegrated bench and walked away.

The general ran after him, when Kai entered, the man almost pulled him by the arm luckily Kai suddenly increased his pace and reached Zira who is socializing with some important looking nobles.

Just as he is about to start listening to their bullshit politics, Victor pulled the general away from him just as the general is about touch Kai.

"Kai, a word?" Victor said looking at a handsome young man who is a prince if his totals features are anything to guess by.

Kai let Victor take him to the prince. "I am Arion the second prince who sent you the invitation." The handsome man said. Kai watched him and frowned, this man gave him a naughty feeling like he is a natural trickster. Then he remembered the intelligence he gathered about his fox lineage.

"I see. May I do anything for you?" Kai asked and Victor laughed at this. Kai was telling the truth when he said he despised politics.

"It is not a secret in the kingdom that I have a sick mother, as a renowned potion master I was wondering if you can cure her for me?" He asked with a visible nervous but firm stance.

"I can't promise anything but I can study and see if I can cure her." Kai said. The second prince gestured to follow him. Kai pulled Victor and whispered in his ear.

"Look at them. Don't they all look like vultures? let her know she should book herself a room in the city to rest. I will find her." Kai said and followed Arion.

"Are you really this desperate? You barely know me." Kai asked the prince puzzled.

"I am. Even an elf couldn't cure her. Most importantly she doesn't have long to live. This this sickness has taken too much of her vitality, her body is finally shutting down. You are my last hope." The prince said. Kai understood he is in a predicament, he can't refuse unless he doesn't want his dry piece of land anymore. Not to mention rhe shopping center.

"Sigh." The only way to not have political pressure is if he is in charge and after the responsibilities dumped on him the last time he took on a role of a leader, Kai is not interested.

The only other option is for him to play ball and do what they want at least for now. It's still his vacation. His lightning is slowly turning darker because his supernatural powers are advancing so Kai wants to improve his skills while on vacation in this world.

However, that will not happen if he challenges the monarch in this place. "You're very quiet. Why?" The prince asked but Kai only shook his head slightly. 

"Look, I understand I am forcing you to help me but I am desperate." The prince said with a sincere tone.

"Kai, why was that old man trying to grab you earlier?" Victor asked with obvious displeasure written all over his face. He has rushed over after sending his message to lady Zira.

"We had a bit of an argument out there and I thought we resolved it nicely." Kai shrugged.

The two of them are following the 2nd prince but there is no sign of being 'forced' in fact, they look like lovers taking a stroll.

When they entered the place where the patient is laid down, Kai frowned right after entering. The woman is not sick, she is a host to something sinister and the only reason Kai can tell this is because he activated the high level scanning function in his AI.

Kai looked at the 2nd prince and gave him a smile. "I can save her but..."

Hearing him, the second prince looked shocked. He may have dragged Kai here but he never thought this young looking man would be able to help his 2 decades comatose mother.

"But what?"

Kai threw him an energy ore and the spirit ore. "I want 10 high level mines with these two materials as a reward. Do you think you can do that?"

"I have never seen this ore before." The second prince frowned but Kai knows he is lying. In fact, the royal family is already mining these two ore mines for their secret deal with the mage tower and the Ziphia country.

"I know you are not being truthful. Talk to your father and have an answer for me as soon as two days. She can only survive a month at most. I hope your father values your mother your highness." Kai pulled Victor out of the medical treatment chamber.

The second prince didn't waste time and went to request an audience with his father.

"Arion you haven't sought me out since you were a child." The king looked at his son in curiosity.

"The potion master said he can cure my mother but he wants five high level mines of these two ores."

Second prince said without any pleasantries. He honestly can not stand his father but he has to deal with him occasionally.

"Can he really cure her?" The king asked even though his expression doesn't show anything, the heavy pressure that suddenly enveloped the weak second prince made him cough out a mouthful of blood.

The king quickly withdrew his aura. That had been subconscious. He had broken through to third level black gold level. The power hasn't been consolidated yet which is why it suddenly ran amok like that.

The second prince pulled a clean handkerchief and wiped his mouth. The king asked him as soon as he is done. "Do you trust him?"

"I don't know him. But there's no hope otherwise. I heard general Jiang met and spoke to him too. If father doesn't trust my judgment maybe we can get a second opinion?" Arion said with a self deprecating smile.

"Bring him to see me tomorrow. Those ore mines are a secret we have kept for generations. How did ke know we have them? How much does he know?" The king felt uncomfortable with this person having classified information.

The king smiled at Arion who nodded and went out with a promise to come back the next day with Kai.

Kai is currently being cornered by the large general who is looking at him as if he wants to beat him up. "You said you could help the land because fertile?"

"It depends on what you will give me Mr. General." Kai is gloomy because Victor disappeared as soon as this man approached him. He could have gotten lucky tonight.

"I have wealth." The general said.

"I want a mine with this material. It there is plenty of them in your new territory, several of which are high level. I was 7 of those and I will help you grow as much food as you want." Kai put a rough small ore in the large hands of the general.

"You..." The general looked at Kai with vigilance. How did this boy know about this?

That place has these mines but only the demons know of it which is why thy had insisted on taking it over. It is an excellent material for creating magical weapons and armor.

In fact, the general knows about these mines because he was stationed there but the royal family does know. Being rewarded that plot of land is in fact the best thing general Jiang can ever hope for.

Years from now he will pretend to stumble upon these mines and the royal family will only think it's luck. But Jiang Shun had expended a lot of man power in order to get his hands on this valuable material.

He can trade it with the tower. This is why Kai thinks all these people are all schemers. The king will never think he was in fact manipulated in his decision from the start.

"It's up to you if your new home is fertile or not." Kai smiled dismissively.

The general seems to have a bit of hope. He had wanted the valuable material but he will have to spend much of it acquiring food from others, this is not ideal. But if he is able to grow his own food he will be one of the wealthiest firmer generals in the country.

His daughter had gone insane and poisoned the woman that king favored all those years ago and the woman will finally perish soon and who knows what the king will do then?

He wants to slowly take charge of his family's future away from the wrath of the royal family. If he gains more wealth and power, his grandson's position as the crown prince will be secured.

"Treatment duration will depend on the condition of your land." Kai said in response.

"Alright. If you are able to turn that desolate dry place into a livable place I will give you 5 high level Wenghu mines that hasn't been mined yet." The general said straightforwardly which make Kai choke on his spit.

"With all due respect general, I'm gonna need assurance." Kai took out a contract he had prepared for this transaction and gave it to the general. "If you don't mind.... I have trust issues." Kai said with a gloomy tone.

The general realized he had been set up by the boy. He stood up taking the contract with him and left the table. As soon as he disappeared outside the door, Zira came over carefully seating in front of him.

"Looks like I am not the only one who came to socialize in the capital city this time." She said with a smirk.

"To making friends." They clanked their mugs and shared a drink. Kai frowned looking at the unsightly cup in his hand. Mugs. What a bunch of cheap fuckers.

The sun has gone down and a bright full moon hung in the sky. Kai used the magical shower to wash up and then went to sleep.

In the dead of night a figure approached his room. When he sent spirit power to check it out he saw Zira pacing in front of his door looking flustered.

He opened the door yawning. "If you are not sleepy go outside, you are disturbing me." He closed the door but Zira opened it and entered closing the door behind her.

"I can't sleep." Kai went to bed and fell on the soft mattress, his head hitting the pillow. He closed his eyes ignoring the woman. Unexpectedly she took off her robe and entered the bed with him.

The warm soft feeling on his back startled him causing his body to stiffen. "What are you doing?" Without answering, she started trailing kisses down his spine.

Kai had only long silky pajama pants but no top, his fit tall body on display showing his strong compact muscles which is why Zira couldn't hold herself back just now. She really wanted to feel the texture of those vein lines under the tip of her fingers.

Kai must have been repressed for far too long because he turned and pinned her under his body in the blink of an eye. Watching her eyes carefully. "You are poisoned. I have an antidote." He said but the woman shut him up with a rough kiss.

He roughly kissed her back, his hands became very dishonest. Hearing her moans in his ear, he couldn't hold back and took her nipple into his mouth reaching for her flat stomach to trace her own abdominal muscles driving him into a lustful frenzy. The two bodies under the covers became hot.

He played with her clit feeling her body shudder under him as she enjoyed his attention. Perhaps the foreplay had taken too long because she flipped him under her sitting on his cock in a sharp fall.

She realized her mistake when pain shot through her making her scream a moment later. Kai realized that even though she wasn't a virgin, her action had brought her pain because of the size of his shaft.

Gasping, he took her breath away silencing the rest of the scream and after ensuring she is alright he began to move slowly. She is so tight around him.

Kai really started a race pumping into her, he granted in pleasure as her pussy wrapped him tightly making him sink into the lustful haze. It is going to be a long night and Kai intended to enjoy this tight cunt.

...
