Author's Notes, DAILY CHAPTERS: Hi guys, let's try something. I will make a double release now, and if you guys vote with power stones and this novel keep in any rank below 100 (the original rank, which doesn't demand too many power stones), I will keep making daily releases for that entire week.
###################
After the great week-long celebration was over, things started to get back to normal in Portgreen.
Well, not quite normal as Portgreen is now growing in power and economy like never before and slowly expanding its territory to the south, while the Light Empire collapses at the loss of so many troops.
Lucien and Cassidy started making preparations for the sea journey, that is, leaving the Kingdom in an organized way so that Ron can take care of everything without problems.
Right now, Rom arrives at the throne room, where Lucien waits on his great throne with Lust sitting on one of his thighs and Amelia on the other while Cassidy and Angela sit on other thrones beside his.
Rom respectfully bows to Lucien. "My king."
Lucien notices a slight smile on Rom's face, then he laughs. "Are you having fun with the situation of this friend of yours?"
Ron can't stop smiling as he answers honestly. "With your character... I think it cannot be helped. I imagine it is difficult to take care of so many women."
Lucien strokes Lust and Amelia's hair. "Nah, I love them all so much, so it's my pleasure to be able to take care of them."
As the girls blush at Lucien's loving words, Ron looks at him with an expression of admiration. "That is why you are not only a great man, but also a great King, and a great husband... definitely the most incredible man I have ever met."
Lucien can't help but smile because he knows that Ron has no reason to flatter him. "You are also a great man, Ron, my friend."
Ron bows again. "Thank you for the compliment, my King."

'He has arrived, hubby.' She says.
'Okay, bring him to me.' Lucien answers Neola mentally.
Then he looks at Ron. "Raco's ruler has arrived."
Ron makes a thoughtful expression. "He should be waiting for the celebrations to end to come and speak to your majesty."
"What do you plan?" Ron asks.
Before Lucien answers, Cassidy speaks first. "Isn't it obvious? He is selling slaves in our Kingdom destined for freedom, and not only that, but he has sold some people from our family as slaves as well. His head will roll."
Lucien extends his hand to the side and caresses Cassidy's hand. "My Queen is totally right."
Ron nods. "I agree. So, Raco will need a new ruler, right?"
"You must have already suggestions, right?" Lucien asks.
Ron nods again. "Yes, I imagined it would happen, so I investigated some people, found suitable candidates, and I have already gathered them here in the city. They are ready for your majesty to choose the best among them."
Lucien smiles. "Splendid. Ron, you will be a great ruler when Cassidy and I are gone. Please, bring these people to me."
Ron bows as he prepares to leave the throne room. "Yes, my King."
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})But then Lucien raises his hand. "Hang on."
Ron looks ahead and sees the purple world portal opening beside the thrones. After a while, Kara leaves the portal and jumps into Ron's arms.
"Uncle!! I missed you so much!!" Kara giggles while hugging Ron tightly.
Lucien smiles. "Let Kara go with you for a while. She has been missing you."
Ron pasts Kara's head. "How has your new life been, my niece?"
Kara looks at Lucien while hugging Ron. "Lu- hubby has been wonderful to me. All the girls at home treat me very well, so everything is wonderful. I'm really happy with them!"
Ron looks at Lucien with an expression full of gratitude. "Thank you, Lucien. My niece's happiness is really important to me."
"For both of you, my friend; after all, she is one of my beloved wives." Lucien smiles at Kara.
"Just let her stay with you a little if she doesn't bother you. We'll be traveling soon, and you won't be seeing each other for a long time." Lucien completes.
Ron nods. "Thank you, Lucien. I will bring the candidates for Raco's ruler, and Kara can go with me without any problems."
Lucien nods, and Ron walks towards the throne room door with Kara, but the little maid stops. "Wait."
Then Kara runs to Lucien's throne and kisses his lips. "Thanks, hubby. I'll be right back."
"Okay, dear. Have fun." Lucien tenderly kisses Kara's lips.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Ron and Kara leave the throne room and pass next to Neola and Emmanuel in the corridor. The fat man didn't even recognize Neola and thinks everything is under his control.
Neola enters the throne room, followed by Emmanuel. He bows to Lucien, "My King."
But Neola walks over to Lucien and kisses his lips. "Hubby."
Emmanuel is not surprised to see so many women beside Lucien. He and everyone in the world now know that Lucien has many wives, treats them very well, and is overprotective.
The fat man is smart enough to know how to act. [I can't even look at one of them. Offending him or any of his wives will be very bad.]
Well, he doesn't expect that something that happened so long ago will cause his end now.
Lucien wastes no time and gets to the point. "Emmanuel, right? How do you feel knowing that you came so far just to die?"
Emmanuel is shocked. "M-m-m-my KING?!?! What did this humble servant do to offend your majesty?"
Lucien strokes Neorla's face. "You really don't recognize this beautiful lady? You sold her along with other of my loyal troops a few years ago as slaves."
"Slaves??? And I don't know what you're talking about, my King." Emmanuel is crying in his mind but tries to look calm on the outside.
Cassidy shakes her head. "There is no way to fool us, your disgusting pig. I always thought you did wicked things in Raco, but I never had evidence. Thanks to an event that has nothing to do with you, we found out everything. You must know that it is not healthy to hurt my husband's wives, right?"
Emmanuel realizes that there is no escape for him. Still, the poor man can't help but try to turn and run.
*BAM*
*Thud*
Upon turning around, Emmanuel is hit on the belly by a heavy punch from Kylee, who was called to the throne room by Lucien.
Kylee looks at Emmanuel, moaning on the floor as she makes an expression of pleasure. "I have waited many years for this."
She gets ready to kick him again, but Emmanuel quickly thinks of something, which might not save his life but at least guarantee him a quick death.
"Wait!! I have valuable information about the Queen's enemies!!" He screams as a little blood drips from his mouth due to the heavy punch he received from Kylee.
Kylee looks at Lucien, and he nods at her, so Kylee kicks Emmanuel again, breaking his arm and throwing him a few meters back, rolling across the floor.
Emmanuel is shocked and groans while feeling a lot of pain throughout his body.
Lucien asks in a cold and calm tone. "Queen's enemies, did you say?"
Emmanuel quickly speaks between groans of pain. "Theodore! Theodore!! I know where he is!! Bowen, too, I know where they are both! Just spare me, and I'll tell you!!"
Lucien recognizes both names, while Cassidy makes an angry expression. He looks at her for her opinion.
Cassidy really wants to find Theodore and take revenge on him. In the case of Bowen, it is a little more complicated because he is Mia's father.
Still, Cassidy does not want another man to claim to had been her husband in the past, and that is why she very much wants to kill him, and of course, also because he abandoned Mia and her when they most needed help.
But now, Cassidy has a big family with Lucien and needs to think about their needs, too. She doesn't want to deprive Neola, Kylee, and other Lucien's troops of their revenge for hers, especially after Lucien has already done so much for her and Mia.
She smiles at Lucien. "We don't need his information. There is no way for Theodore and Bowen to escape us forever, and now that Emannuel has talked about it, I think it's very likely that they are hiding in Raco."
Lucien can't help but be happy that Cassidy is so amazing. Most other women would think about their needs first, but Cassidy is always thinking about their family too, and that is why she is like Angela, one of his Queens, even at home.
He looks at Kylee. "Torture him to your heart's content. It would also be good to call another one of the girls who were sold as slaves to have fun. Just try to get some more information out of him before killing him."
"No!!" Emmanuel realizes that his plan has failed miserably and screams as he tries to crawl across the floor.
*BAM*
*Crack*
But Kylee stomps on his back, breaking some of his bones and making him scream even more in pain.
"Easy, Kylee. We don't want to kill him that fast." Neola laughs as she walks towards Emmanuel.
Then she takes some healing potions from her storage ring and dumps it on Emmanuel. The potions will not heal him that quickly but will prevent him from dying too quickly.
Also, she takes an arrow with rope from her storage ring and pierces it in Emmanuel's leg. Then she says goodbye to Lucien and begins to drag Emmanuel's body across the throne room floor towards the castle dungeon to start a long torture session with Kylee and some other girls.
Lucien strokes Cassidy's hand. "I also think it is possible that they are in Raco or someplace near it. Anyway, I will send some spies of my male troops ahead to look for them."
Cassidy kisses Lucien's hand. "Okay, but there is no need to rush. Everything is perfect now, so we should just follow our plans."
Lucien laugh. "Yes, my dear. Still, we will be passing by near Raco to travel to Aliança, so it will be good to go there so that Mia can kick the ass of her failure of a father like I want to do with mine."
Cassidy laughs too. "Yes, I bet she would like to kick his ass. Mia never liked her father. Well, nobody liked that idiot."
While the girls tortured Emmanuel in the castle dungeon, Lucien and his Queens continue to resolve Kingdom matters.
Ron brought new candidates for the ruler of the island of Raco, and Lucien chose a woman for the position. Although men like politics more than women, Lucien prefers to deal with women as he can easily get full loyalty from them in many different ways.
While he organizes everything for his trip, his troops are also preparing. While most girls continue to train in combat, some of them learn more about navigation.
Many of Lucien's current troops, who were previously adventurers in the L group, already have experience navigating at sea. Still, now they will not have other people traveling with them on the ships, the girls will have to take all positions on the ships, and for that, they are learning important tips from experienced ship captains.
Also, most of the ships that Lucien requested when he assumed the Portgreen crown are already made. Creating large ships is not a quick and easy task, but with many workers, resources, and magic, building new ships is not slow either.
After days, everything got ready for the trip. Ron is fully involved in all matters of the Kingdom, and everyone understands that they must obey him in the absence of Lucien and Cassidy.
Lucien's troops are ready, and the group's wind mages are well boosted by Lucien, especially Madelyn, who, despite having much to improve, can now impulse the ships from Lucien's fleet by increasing their navigation speed while he keeps her reserves of mana high, of course.
At the Portgreen docks, Lucien and his girls look at the giant eleven ships ahead of them with expectant looks.
Their life with Lucien is every day more and more fantastic and exciting, so they can't wait to travel over the whole world by his side and live new and exciting adventures.
"Is everyone ready?" Lucien smiles at his wives.
They quickly respond. "Yes, hubby!"
"Yes, brother!!" Amelia hugs Lucien tightly.
*Roar*
Oya shows her approval.
*Meow*
Little Ko licks Lucien's face while sitting on his shoulder.
