Chapter 552 – 158. The Future of Island and the World Tree (2)
“I’m glad everyone looks healthy!”
A gentle voice like the characteristic spring breeze filled the room.
The party was surprised to see Lilia.
“His Majesty Lilia? How did you get here…”
Chloe said.
Once everyone set her example to her.
Lillia was the emperor of the Holy Ramir Empire.
Now, no matter how much they leave their respective affiliations and follow only me.
She couldn’t ignore that identity.
Everyone bowed her head to her respectfully, putting her hands on her chest.
“You don’t have to be so polite! We are… One family, right?”
Lillia said with a smile.
She was also like Lilia, who was extremely caring.
As a fiancée, you might be jealous of those lovers.
Rather, he was generous enough to consider them members of the same harem.
They are lovers who have already been together several times.
Most of the other lovers also seemed to think well of Lilia.
In an instant, the two’s eyes met.
Lilia and Eirin.
However, the atmosphere was strange to talk about only these two people.
Both of them rank high in my harem.
At the same time, two people who have a strong rivalry towards each other.
‘If you think about it, it was like that from the beginning.’
They may have instinctively sensed that each other was a strong enemy.
“Eirin-sama is also as beautiful as ever! I’m glad you look healthy!”
“Praise the glorious wings of Asterisk. I am honored to hear you say that.”
The two looked at each other with bright smiles.
However, at that very moment, I noticed the cold eyes of the two searching for each other.
‘As expected, the two of them seem to have no intention of conceding.’
In fact, the tacit arrangement of the harem order was over.
Regardless of the order of the 1st and 2nd seats, it was certain that those two would be the first.
However, Ei-Lin moved her body within seconds.
“I will quickly serve tea for Your Majesty. You must be tired from coming a long way.”
Lillia also moved her body and sat on the sofa in front of the table where her party was sitting.
And after a brief greeting, the expression of the party came to mind.
“But how did His Majesty come to this primeval forest…”
Lucia said.
It was a natural question.
The place where Lillia, the current emperor of the empire, should be is the imperial capital Teria.
There is a physical distance between Teria and the great temple of the primeval forest here.
It wasn’t for nothing that Agriel-kun was trying to cross the Altern Mountains.
Even so, Lilia was here.
Lillia quickly answered the question.
“All of you here must have entered the primeval forest through the portal that exists in the Pantheon Underground Temple 6. I came here through the same method!”
“But that portal is without a special boot seat…”
“I have the blood of Asterisk running through me. That blood itself gives you access to the portal without the boot seat.”
At that, everyone nodded.
Like Lillia said, the royal family Asterisk was a noble family with special blood, just like the Reinhardt family.
‘It’s not just that Lilia was obsessed with my blood.’
Even before she became a saint, Lilia was the closest nun to her sainthood.
She may have felt instinctively that she needed special blood to open up a new future.
So if you think about that future.
The one closest to the first wife also had a high degree of justification for Lilia.
‘Perhaps Eirin is thinking about that too.’
So the others might not have noticed.
I noticed that Eirin had become strangely sullen.
‘Well, it doesn’t necessarily mean that Lilia will be her first wife, though.’
What matters is my choice.
In fact, I myself have not yet chosen between the two.
It was not the time to choose my personal love.
It was the future of mankind.
Besides, I loved both Lilia and Eirin.
Depending on which stance they stood on, both of them were qualified to be first wives.
I had to make that decision carefully.
Heading for the World Tree with the two of them.
A special ceremony will be held there.
I will experience the true sexual love of having a child with that one person.
‘I don’t think it’s necessary to think too complicatedly.’
My mother’s rosary resonated lightly.
Whichever choice you make will be right, even if you don’t take it too seriously.
I went back to my bedroom after a long talk with my lovers.
***
Even after Yulian went to the bedroom, the lovers’ conversation continued.
“Oh my goodness! I already knew that it was being delivered from the Demon Kingdom by the arrangement of the great Jedin… But you guys have done a much greater job! That’s amazing!”
Lilia was leading the mood.
When you think about it, it wasn’t unusual.
Before ascending to the throne.
Even during her third princess days, Lilia was famous for her personality and affinity.
She showed up not only at social gatherings among nobles, but also at exchange meetings with students from commoners.
Even now that he has ascended to the throne, his personality has not changed.
It will not be a pretense.
‘Joy. Well, I’m better looking. I should have a good personality.’
Chloe muttered to herself.
Friendly atmosphere.
Although there are commoners here who would never have met Chloe if it had been before.
Still, I didn’t like this place.
‘These women know that I am a very good person. You don’t have to pretend.’
In fact, Chloe did not have a single woman close to her personally.
Even at the Faculty of Alchemy, although she remained a queen.
Because of her family background, no one was comfortable with her.
However, the current party was different.
My colleagues who have been with me all the way from the battle of Mayeon to the battle in the Demon Kingdom.
In the meantime, we talked a lot more than we thought.
I’m ashamed to say I’m her friend.
Still, it wasn’t awkward being together, to the extent that you could call them acquaintances.
‘Hmm… I don’t really want to play in the flower garden like that princess!’
However, this kind of conversation between women is more fun than I thought.
Today’s Chloe was feeling it.
Come to think of it, Lilia wasn’t wrong when she said that she was one family.
The lovers who all belong to Yulian’s, the demonic dragon’s harem.
After she came to the Demon Kingdom, Chloe had talked to several female alchemists belonging to the Demon King’s army.
‘Now that I know that Yulian-nim’s identity is a demonic dragon. It was also important for him to study the habit well.’
And when she finished checking that information.
Chloe kept quiet with her harem members as she did now, no longer causing trouble.
A demon dragon values its harem more than any of its possessions.
As such, she hates troubles between wives belonging to the harem.
A simple war of nerves would be fine.
He said that he was very reluctant to incidents that would cause problems in the maintenance of the harem itself.
‘If there is a trouble maker among them…’
It was said that it was common for wives to be disqualified and kicked out of the harem.
After Chloe knew that, he didn’t create trouble with the other members as much as possible.
In fact, hiding one’s brilliance a little wouldn’t cause much trouble.
Trouble with other women usually happens.
Because they are always jealous of Chloe and her brilliance.
So Chloe didn’t bother to explain her superiority one by one and stayed quiet.
‘Because everyone knows I’m not stupid. That’s fortunate.’
In the case of Ai-Lin, she was polite to the other members because she was so clear-minded as a maid in the first place.
The same goes for Chloe.
Moreover, Eirin was effectively Yulian’s closest adviser.
So, she herself directed the disposition of her party, which also played an important role in several battles.
‘They put me in a good spot so I can play.’
On that occasion, though, she often paired her with the cheeky witch Rosette.
In fact, since she was hitting and harassing her so much, she developed a feeling of hatred for Rosette.
Rather, she wasn’t bad to move with.
‘Even though her character was the filthiest witch in the pantheon. Still, her skills were outstanding.’
And Cecilia, a docile dragon who never seems to say anything bad to anyone.
In her case, Chloe was the one who discovered and nurtured her qualities as an artisan.
In her own way, she did not forget that grace, and she spoke to Chloe quite a bit.
In the case of Lucia, she has a quiet personality to begin with.
Still, I didn’t see that she particularly hated Chloe. She was fine with that.
Although Lilia over there was not with us in the battle of the Demon Kingdom this time.
In fact, she always sent periodic letters to her heir to her powerful family.
And several times she spoke to her first when she was alone in the church among her aristocrats.
Even though he already has the status of an emperor, his kindness doesn’t change.
Lilia was not an uncomfortable opponent for Chloe either.
In any case, it was the first time Chloe had felt a sense of belonging in a group with so many women.
I hate to admit it.
Chloe also liked the current harem.
‘I also… Want to be Yulian-sama’s first wife…’
It is impossible not to covet her special place.
However, the first wife had a different meaning.
Beyond being simply Julian’s lover, a position to assist him in everything he plans to do in the future.
And it was a position where he had to be in perfect command so that there would be no problems among the current harem members.
If only it was for yourself.
He would have insisted on being the first wife without ever bending over.
Julian was a very important person even to Chloe.
He is her first love, and the man she already considers her husband.
Yulian could not be harmed.
That’s why Chloe eventually gave up on his first wife.
‘But… Even if I can’t have that child first…’
The last two candidates were Lillia and Eirin.
However, the journey to the World Tree is three days later.
At least, there was a chance to monopolize Yulian for a day or so.
“Then, shall we go to sleep now?”
Lilia finished the late night tea time.
Everyone went back to their bedrooms.
Since there were many empty rooms in the Great Temple, all rooms were private.
And Chloe, who was lost in thought for a moment in that bedroom.
In the end, I couldn’t stay alone.
‘Both Liliana and Eirin need to purify themselves for the ceremony.’
So she couldn’t have a relationship with Yulian until she arrived at the World Tree.
But except for those two.
Other lovers aren’t so bold.
‘Let’s head to Julian-sama’s bedroom!’
Having made that decision, Chloe opened the door to the bedroom where Julian was.
“Huh?”
However, Chloe was surprised for a moment.
A completely unexpected person was already hugging Yulian on the bed.
