"So what took you so long in Stardawn?" Spencer asked. When the news spread, Spencer and others assud that as soon as the news spread all over Stardawn, Aditya would return regardless of what situation he was in.
But he ended up returning at the very last second. Just when the girls were about to die in Robert's hands, he saved them. "Well, we were busy gathering so valuable things that we couldn't leave behind."
"Such as.....!!" "Anti-gravity crystals, Gold coins, lower-star artifacts, Paintings, ancient books, research journals and papers, weapons, and many other things that I thought would be valuable for the Istarin Empire."
The 'Anti-Gravity Crystals' words caught his attention. "Anti-gravity crystals?" Spencer had heard of them before. "I have been looking for anti-gravity crystals for a long ti. I found an entire island full of Anti-gravity crystals. I took so ti to steal.....cough!! I an, collect all the Anti-gravity crystals. And once I was done, Rin and I made a trip to the place where I had hidden all the Anti-gravity crystals."
Spencer pretended not to hear the word 'steal.' Even if soone knew that the Dragon Monarch had stolen their Anti-gravity crystals, what could they do? No one will co to the Istarin Empire demanding all the Anti-gravity crystals to be returned, not especially after the fight between Aditya and Robert. "What are you even planning to do with this much Anti-Gravity Crystals?" Spencer asked. The amount that Aditya brought with him wasn't small.
The quantity of anti-gravity crystals was tons. "When the Dragon Palace changes the next ti, it will float like a floating Island." Hearing this, Spencer's eyes widened in shock. "Are you serious?" The current Dragon Palace was massive. It was like a mini town. "Of course! It will happen sooner than you realize." "And when it happens, the Dragon Palace will be on top of the Azure City. At that ti, people from other surrounding cities will be able to see the floating Dragon Palace." This was nothing but Aditya's speculating things. Who knows, the system might take a different approach and create sothing even better.
"Alright! Don't think about the future. How was everything in my absence?" It was ti to think about the Istarin Empire's imdiate future. They had to make sure that they kept the stability of the Empire while taking care of the millions of displaced people from the central region of the Beast Continent. "Everything was going smoothly. But we did not expect Charles to have a spy watching over his son's actions all of the ti."
"Garrick had originally planned to poison Charles and take the throne forcefully. But his bodyguard ca to Charles. The entire plan was leaked." "Fortunately, Emma managed to know this in ti. So, using whatever ti she had, she killed the Pri Minister and Charles's loyal butler." "Although we are not 100% sure, I firmly suspect that it was also around this ti that Robert t with Charles, and both of them made their plans to go to war."
"And just a few days later, we confird that the Dune Sovereignty is preparing its troops for a large invasion." Spencer gave him the full details that led to the Crimson Dunes Conflict. "I feel that killing the Pri Minister was a bit too much." Ultimately, Aditya felt so disappointnt, but he recognized Emma's situation.
Spencer stared at Aditya and waited for his explanation. "After all, our end goal was never to destroy the Dune Sovereignty but to make sure that Soraya becos the next Ruler. Now that she has beco the New Empress, without an experienced Pri Minister, things might be tough for her." Aditya never really cared about the Pri Minister's life. He felt that letting the Pri Minister live could have been more useful in the long run. "If the Pri Minister were alive, we might still have a cold war with the Dune Sovereignty," Spencer replied with a smile. "That's true!!" In the end, what happened was for the best. Aditya was more than satisfied. Now, he had nothing to worry. No one would dare to trouble his Empire. He can finally focus on building his Empire's strength to face the enemies that will co in the future. The enemies that were ntioned in the two prophecies.
"Moreover, Lady Soraya is more capable and intelligent than we often acknowledge." "Interesting.....!!" Since Aditya had never t her, he could not really tell what kind of woman she was. "Contrarty to our belief, she is a really smart and mature woman. She isn't naive. She isn't soone who is lusting after the Throne or the Crown."
"The way she carried herself at the coronation ceremony is very comndable. It felt as if I were before a strong Empress who is neither too humble nor too arrogant."
"I heard that last night, she had a really long conversation with the forr King. I was told that their relationship significantly improved from that one conversation. The Forr King seems to have completely changed after his defeat. So I really doubt, she would make any mistakes with the Forr King guiding her. Aditya began to think. He rubbed his chin for a few seconds before nodding his head. "It seems we have to change our views of her." "Yeah! With given ti, she could beco one of our most powerful allies." Ultimately, Aditya felt very satisfied with the outco. He and Spencer were never looking for a puppet in Soraya. If they did anything, they were glad that Soraya turned out to be this capable. Sigh...!!
"In the end, I never really got my hands on Charles and his dear son, Garrick."
"Well, you cannot have everything in life." Aditya nodded his head in agreent. "Furthermore, after the coronation, I requested Lady Soraya to surrender her father to . She begged for her father's safety and freedom. Despite her dislike for her father's actions, she never truly hated him."
"That's unexpected! We thought she would hate him to death due to how much she was suppressed in her own house." "That just makes her more unique," Spencer replied with a smile. "Just so you know, she will be joining us for dinner tonight!"
"Oh, that's nice. I am always happy.....!!" Aditya then realized what Spencer said. "Wait.....what!!"
"It's true! I think you two should et and know each other. Only that way, we could build a strong alliance." Aditya felt that Spencer was subtly pushing him toward Soraya. It was as if he were suggesting sothing indirectly, making it nearly impossible for Aditya to accurately interpret his intentions.
"Alright, leaving that aside, what are we going to do about the central region? You and Robert's last attack completely destroyed the entire central region." "Yeah, about that....!!
Aditya took out a paper and handed it to Spencer.
"These are so steps that I think we should take." Spencer's eyes widened the more he read.
Aditya's proposal was well-detailed and precise.
"I believe if we take these steps within two months, around 60% to 80% of the displaced population will be able to return to the Central region and live their lives." A big part of this plan involved Riya. Moving further with the restoration plan was impossible without her restoring the land. "When did you even get the ti to write all of these?" "Right after lunch!" He has been thinking about this problem since he woke up. "Do you have anything that you want to add?" Aditya asked. Spencer continued reading while shaking his head. "I feel like your plan is covering everything." •••
A few hours later, "Why was I called here?" Aditya was told to co to the garden once he was done. Arriving at the garden, he found two maids who were cleaning the garden. "Your Majesty, please head this way." As he looked in the direction they were pointing, he saw steam rising further ahead.
"What's that?" Hidden behind tall bushes and green leaves, there was a wooden wall in the shape of a circle. The wooden walls were 5 inches thick and 2 ters in height.
Leaves, bushes, and branches from trees surrounding the wooden walls made the wooden walls appear almost invisible. From a distance, it was impossible to tell that there were wooden walls here. "When did this happen?" He could guess that this change must have happened when he was in Stardawn. The steam was also coming from within this wooden wall. Within the wooden wall, he could sense all of his won's Auras. "Aditya!" Lilith called him out. "Yeah!!" "Use the entrance at your left and join us." "If you don't join then you won't be able to see us naked." How can he reject such a tempting offer?
There was a wooden door at his left. The door connected to the Palace. Upon entering, there was a large changing room. He noticed the girl's clothes on multiple wooden buskets. He quickly removed his clothes. Wrapping a white towel around his waist, he opened the second wooden door. Once he entered, he felt the steam and the slight change in temperature. The floor was made from very smooth stones. As he walked forward, the girls beca silent. Everyone looked at him as he ca in front of the hot spring. The girls stared at him and he also stared at everyone. Contrarty to his expectations, no one was naked but it was still an amazing view. Their bodies were subrged up to their shoulders.
Lara, Rin, and Sasha blushed. This was the first ti Rin and Sasha had seen each other like this. Lara was still too shy. "Don't just stand there, co and join us!!" Lilith ca out of the water. But to his disappointnt, she was wearing a towel. It wasn't a thin towel that would make everything transparent. Seeing his look, she asked while grinning. "What? Disappointed?" Aditya shook his head with a smile. "Why I would be disappointed seeing so many Goddesses in one place?" Everyone blushed at his words. "How does it feel?" Julia asked. "Good!" This water was special.
Soaking in this water felt really nice.
"When did this happen?" Aditya curiously asked. "Well, after you left, Riya and I had nothing much to do so we decided to make a hot spring." For Lilith, this hot spring would open the doors to so many naughty opportunities. Fortunately, she managed to convince Riya with other so excuses. "The problem was there was no natural hot spring water in the ground."
"But we have the Goddess of Nature so such problems can be easily solved." Riya looked proud of herself. anwhile, Lilith kept glancing at everyone. This was a wonderful opportunity to have so fun and create so beautiful, naughty mories. "By the way, now that we are here, I think we should compare."
The girls and Aditya looked at Lilith but she disappeared and appeared behind Alicia.
She pulled the towel from behind and exposed her bouncy big mountains.
"To see who among us has the largest boobies."
Everyone looked as the towel revealed her gigantic heavenly mountains. Kya....!!!
Alicia covered her breasts with her arms. Her breasts were so big that her palms failed to hide them properly. Her actions only made others realize just how big these two weapons were. Realizing this, she imdiately hid herself in the water. The Goddess of Wealth coldly glared at Lilith. Seeing this, Lilith moved away from her and hid behind Aditya. "Scary!!" "That was unnecessary!!" Aditya said to Lillith. Rin, Sasha, and Lara were blushing. Only Lilith could do this type of thing. "But don't tell you didn't like it?" She said in a teasing tone while looking down. Others followed her gaze and instantly realized where she was looking. "Shaless!!" Rin averted her gaze while blushing. Sasha did not look away but curiously looked at his crotch like others.
Lara's face was completely red.
