Training Ground Awaits.

A/N: There are both female and male Elyria. The females are more dominant and powerful than the males. While female Elyria can have sex with male Elyria to boost and retain their powers, male Elyria can't have sex with human females due to their low mana. Therefore, they can't participate in dual cultivation with them. The only way they can is by having sex and performing dual cultivation with female Elyria, who have high mana and many years of accumulated magical power to sustain them.

As soon as Commander Aethera stepped out of Kae's room, she was met by a young Elyria man with long ears, who bowed his head in respect. His eyes couldn't help but notice the ruined state of Kae's room, clearly visible since Commander Aethera hadn't yet closed the door. But he dared not ask for an explanation.

Commander Aethera shut the door behind her. "Rise," she commanded, and Eirakon immediately straightened. "Get either Elyria maids or human maids—male or female—to clean the queen consort's room. I'll meet the queen myself. Make sure the consort is cleaned and escorted to the training ground to meet the other consorts." Her voice was stern, and Eirakon nodded, his head slightly bowed as he watched Commander Aethera walk away.

Queen Lyraea Moonwhisper sat in her golden-feathered chair, dressed in a pale, flowing gown that seemed to shimmer like the moon, draping elegantly across her body. The gown was adorned with delicate pearl embroidery, and a golden crown rested on her head, exuding authority and respect.

"Greetings, Your Highness," Commander Aethera, now clad in silver armor, greeted with a deep bow.

Queen Lyraea waved her hand, sending the waves present in her chamber outside, leaving only Commander Aethera and herself in the room.

"You wouldn't have come to report if I hadn't sent Eirakon," Queen Lyraea remarked, her voice stern and cold as ice, sending a shiver down Commander Aethera's spine.

Everyone in Elyria knew the queen to be ruthless and cunning. Her beautiful face was just a facade for the inner demon lurking within. She could kill with just the snap of a finger, and Commander Aethera knew she had reason to fear for her life. Sleeping with the queen's consort was a sin that could strip her of her magical powers, erase her soul from existence, and prevent her from ever reincarnating.

Trying to compose herself, Commander Aethera responded, "I apologize, Your Highness, but I chose to stay in the queen consort's room to observe him further."

"Really?" Queen Lyraea's voice echoed throughout the chamber, softened only slightly as she fixed her gaze on Commander Aethera, who remained kneeling with her head bowed, unable to look the queen in the eye. "And what exactly did you find out?" she continued.

"Nothing, Your Highness. He's just like every other human. No magical affinity whatsoever. I even had a sword duel with him, and yet his sword showed no signs of magic," Commander Aethera answered bluntly.

Queen Lyraea's eyebrows furrowed as she stood and walked over to Commander Aethera. "Rise," she commanded, and Commander Aethera immediately obeyed, though her head remained bowed. "You dueled with him... and had sex with him, didn't you?" the queen questioned, suddenly gripping Commander Aethera's neck and lifting her off the ground.

"No, Your Highness. I would never do such a thing," Commander Aethera managed to say, struggling against the queen's unyielding grip. "I would never have anything to do with the queen's consort."

"Really?" Queen Lyraea smirked. "You know I can detect whether you've recently performed dual cultivation with a human." She released her grip, letting Commander Aethera fall to the ground with a loud thud. "But you didn't."

Commander Aethera could only thank the heavens that she had collapsed after having sex with Kae, preventing her from cultivating. Even if she had cultivated with him, she wouldn't have drained his life force. Besides, she had no plan to engage in dual cultivation with him—at least not yet. She just wanted his seven-inch erect dragon inside her last night , and she got it and even wants more of him now.

"No one touches my consorts. You can all go ahead and have sex and perform dual cultivation with other men for all I care. But when it comes to my consorts, no one has the right to touch them, or they will face my wrath," Queen Lyraea declared, her voice laced with deadly seriousness as she returned to her golden-feathered chair.

"Yes, Your Highness," Commander Aethera replied in a low voice as she struggled to get off the ground. "No one dares to."

"Especially that human, Kae," the queen continued, her voice softer but no less menacing. "The only human who defeated the demon lord's pet Malumbra without losing a limb. The savior who ensured the survival of the other competitors and didn't let them become the beast's meals." A smirk played on her lips as she gazed into the distance. "No one touches him but me. He belongs to me, and me alone."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"The consort training starts today," Queen Lyraea murmured under her breath, a smirk on her face. "I'm eager to see the results."

Kae, now dressed in a white shirt with billowy sleeves, paired with tight-fitting breeches, a wide leather belt cinched at his waist adorned with intricate silver filigree, and knee-high leather boots, followed closely behind Eirakon. They left a group of Elyria maids in his chamber to tidy up.

After walking through the palace courtyard for several minutes, greeted by passing maids, Kae finally stopped, irritation evident on his face. "When exactly are we going to arrive at this so-called training ground?"

"My apologies, Your Highness, but we're almost there," Eirakon replied with a deep bow, though his expression seemed indifferent, as if he were on bad terms with Kae.

Kae couldn't care less. He didn't know Eirakon, and he had no intention of wasting time on him. They soon resumed their walk and eventually arrived at the training ground.

As they arrived, Kae's eyes widened in awe. The vast open space was filled with various training equipment and facilities, each designed to test different aspects of a consort's abilities. In the center stood a massive, crystal-encrusted pedestal, surrounded by a circle of intricate, glowing runes.

The other queen consorts were already present, each dressed in their finest attire, sitting idly as if waiting for Kae to arrive.

Tharros waved at Kae the moment he spotted him, and Kae returned the gesture with a broad smile.

A female Elyria with a sexy and curvy body, blue eyes like the ocean , a pink lips which fits perfectly into her round face, dressed in a white flowing gown directed her stern gaze at Kae and Eirakon as she approached them.

"Greetings, Teacher Vynessa," Eirakon greeted with a slight bow. "The last queen consort is here."

"You passed the illusion world test. You were pronounced the queen consort, but you haven't served Her Highness yet. You're not in her favor," Teacher Vynessa barked, her face contorted with anger at Kae, who was puzzled by the outburst and couldn't understand why. "Kneel down right now!" Vynessa commanded, her voice brooking no argument.
