I continued on toward my next destination—the Titan Kingdom.
A land whispered about with equal parts fear and awe.
It was a kingdom known for housing one of the largest creatures in existence, beings so massive that their silhouettes alone could blot out the sky. Legends said the titans were among the most powerful beings alive, creatures whose overwhelming size and monstrous strength could make even an ogre look small and fragile in comparison. Whether those stories were exaggerated or not didn’t really matter. Power like that always left a mark on history.
At present, I wasn’t traveling alone. This ti, another set of won accompanied . The Dryad Sisters had stayed behind with the Lamia tribe, exactly as I instructed. Their role there was far from insignificant. They were helping nurture and sustain the surrounding woods, strengthening the trees themselves so they could withstand disasters—natural or otherwise. The forests under their care would grow denser, tougher, and more resilient, perfect for long-term use by the workers and craftsn.
Dryads were honestly impressive in that regard. They didn’t just tend to plants; they seed to understand them on a deeper level. Trees, crops, vines—everything flourished around them. Once I realized the extent of their abilities, it was obvious that placing them as supervisors over the farms and agricultural projects our company had been developing was the smartest move. Productivity and quality would both skyrocket under their watch.
As for , I was currently traveling with Tilde and ria.
Tilde was a rabbit woman, a veteran warrior from her tribe. Despite her slender build and soft appearance, she carried herself with the confidence of soone who had survived countless battles. ria, on the other hand, was an ogre—towering, muscular, and overflowing with raw power. She followed with unwavering loyalty, her presence alone enough to make most people think twice before approaching.
The reason I brought both of them to the Titan Kingdom was simple. They were capable—dangerously so.
Tilde, despite being a rabbit woman, possessed assassination skills that bordered on absurd. Her movents were precise, her instincts razor-sharp. She could slip in and out of combat before most enemies even realized what was happening. While she hadn’t yet surpassed Bernadette’s level, I could see the potential clearly. With proper guidance and experience, she might soday stand on the sa level—or even exceed her.
ria was the complete opposite in fighting style.
Where Tilde relied on speed and finesse, ria was pure destruction. Being an ogre, her physical strength was on an entirely different tier. Every movent she made carried explosive force. If soone like her was fighting on my side, worrying about titans felt unnecessary. Not that I was particularly worried in the first place.
"Husband," ria suddenly said.
Her voice cut through the air, deep and firm.
"What is it, ria?" I replied, glancing at her.
"When will you mate with ?"
The question ca out of nowhere—straightforward, blunt, and impossible to misunderstand.
I paused for a mont. I honestly didn’t expect her to bring that up so casually, but thinking about it, it wasn’t completely unreasonable. She was the only one I still hadn’t fuck. Well, Zes was technically in the sa position, but our schedules never lined up properly. Timing always worked against us. With ria, though, there had been chances. We weren’t always together, but there were monts where it could’ve happened. Circumstances just kept getting in the way.
Before I could even respond, Tilde let out a soft laugh.
"Fufufu, this is the first ti I’ve seen an ogre this hopeless," she said, clearly amused. She looked at ria with a teasing grin, making no effort to hide her mockery.
"Shut up, rabbit woman," ria snapped, turning sharply toward her. Her eyes burned with irritation. "You used your body to charm Husband! Typical of rabbit won. I chard Husband with my strength! That’s why Husband doesn’t love you as much as you think."
That statent landed like a spark on dry grass.
I could visibly see a vein pop on Tilde’s forehead.
"Oh? Is that really how you see it?" Tilde replied, her voice calm but edged with venom. "Then let say this. Just looking at you, it’s no wonder Leon doesn’t see you as breedable. Compared to my body, yours is too muscly and completely unappealing. My body is very breedable, and Leon actually enjoys mating with ."
She tilted her head slightly, eyes locked onto ria.
"anwhile, you haven’t even been mated with him yet. Maybe it’s because he finds you unappealing. You’re just forcing yourself on him because he happened to beat you in battle."
She didn’t sugarcoat anything. Every word was sharp, deliberate, and ant to hurt.
ria froze.
Then her pride shattered.
Her teeth clenched so hard it looked like they might crack. Thick veins bulged across her arms and neck as a terrifying aura poured out of her body. The air itself felt heavier, vibrating under the pressure of her rage.
"You...!" she growled.
In the next instant, ria launched herself forward, her massive fist swinging with deadly intent.
If that blow had landed, Tilde would’ve been dead on the spot.
But Tilde was faster.
Her body vanished in a blur, leaving behind nothing but an afterimage. ria’s fist smashed into empty air, the force of the strike sending a shockwave rippling outward. For a brief mont, ria looked confused.
Then she looked up.
Tilde was already standing atop a thick tree branch, balanced effortlessly as if gravity ant nothing to her.
"As expected of an ogre," Tilde said coolly, brushing imaginary dust from her clothes. "You imdiately resort to your fists. This is exactly why people see your kind as uncivilized."
ria didn’t reply.
She lowered her head, bent her knees, and crouched low. The ground beneath her feet cracked as she gathered power into her legs. The tension built for a split second—
Then she exploded upward.
The earth shattered where she stood, leaving behind a massive crater. In the blink of an eye, ria shot into the air, her body moving so fast it almost seed like she vanished. Wind roared around her as she closed the distance between them, reaching Tilde’s position with shocking speed.
Tilde’s eyes widened, genuine surprise flashing across her face.
Even so, her instincts kicked in.
She twisted her body midair, narrowly dodging the attack as ria ca within striking distance. The branch they’d been near snapped violently from the pressure alone, splintering as ria’s montum tore through the space Tilde had occupied just monts before.
