Making a kebab was simple. First, marinate the meat, cook it, and then wrap it with flatbread.
Done.
They added the tomato slices, vegetables, and other toppings according to their liking.
Aldred was enjoying a kebab with his Mary, Mira, Mareona, and Sophia.
"Guys, did you notice that Bartrem is becoming better at cooking?" Aldred said.
Mareona nodded. "I still remember the day when you guys cooked fish without any seasonings."
"Yeah. Now he can make a delicious kebab."
"Maybe he started to find love in cooking since we have a lot of chances to cook during our travel," Mira said.
Aldred chomped onto the kebab. The soft flatbread, the meat, and the vegetables, all at the same time were dancing on his tongue. The fragrant smell enticed his stomach to eat even more.

Aldred smiled and ate his food. Unfortunately, the food only increased his attributes once. So the food cannot increase his attributes anymore. Maybe because it could only increase so much before it wasn't effective on him no more.
But as he enjoyed his kebab, Sophia kissed him on the lips. She then hugged his right arm.
"Sorry, Aldred. You're just too handsome. I cannot resist myself."
"It's getting cold out here," Mareona said. "Let's grab some kebab and eat it inside the tent.
"Good idea. Bartrem, we'll be taking some more and eating inside."
Bartrem nodded and pointed at the table with stacks of kebab piling up. "Everyone can come and take some."
After Aldred took some kebabs, he entered the tent and relaxed in the hot bath.
Sophia approached him and took off his shirt. "It's not good to wear a shirt while in water."
She blushed as she saw his muscles through the transparent water. Her hand moved around his defined abs, and up to his chest. Her breathing became heavy, and she looked at Aldred with lust.
Sitting on his lap, Sophia purred as she hugged him.
Aldred smiled and caressed her head. "What is it, Sophia. Why are you acting like this?"
Sophia did not say anything and simply stayed in his embrace.
Mary, Mareona, and Mira smiled when they saw her acting like this. They approached and hugged both Sophia and Aldred.
With four beautiful bombshells women sandwiching him, Aldred felt he was in paradise. Especially with a big-chested, and voluptuous Sophia on his lap. Her panties were directly above his little brother. And when she squirmed around, it tingled his rod slightly.
Aldred did not want to complain. He enjoyed this moment.
Mareona caressed his cheek. "What are you thinking, you naughty boy."
"Nothing." Aldred smiled. "I was wondering. Before this, is there any other treasure hunt?"
Mary hugged him and pressed her nippled against his arm. "There is one. But that was more than one hundred years ago. The one who obtained the treasure failed to reach Adamantite Rank."
"That's it? No other similar event?"
"There's a lot actually." Mary hugged his right arm. "Some do become an Adamantite Rank, but each side received the same amount, so the balance stays."
Aldred's hand wrapped around Mira's waist and pulled her in. "What about other continents? I know this continent is very large but is there more continents out there?"
"There is," Mira said. "The pope once met with this person and obtained some knowledge about their continent. Apparently, there are so many continents out there, but getting there is not easy."
"What's the biggest roadblock?" Aldred asked as he squeezed Mira's ass.
She moaned slightly before replying. "Supplies. Depending on the wind, the speed of their ship will affect how many supplies they consume."
"That will not be a problem for me then."
"Are you planning to visit the other continent?" Mareona asked.
Aldred grabbed her boob and squeezed which made her blush.
"I plan to have an adventure after I conquer the empire. But this continent has a lot to explore, so I think I will be here for a while."
"You will take us with you, right?" Sophia asked with teary eyes."
Aldred's hand went to her panties and felt the warmth coming out of it. "Of course, I will."
Sophia blushed and hugged him.
Aldred pushed her slightly and ripped her Gothic dress. He squeezed her boobs hard before showing his fangs and biting her neck.
Sophia felt a tinge of pain only for a short moment before a wave of pleasure washed all over her body. She felt her ass being grabbed, and she moaned in pleasure. While doing all these, Aldred hadn't stopped sucking her blood.
With his vampire race evolved, Aldred could now feel more clearly the blood that moved in her veins. Her heart was visible to his eyes, and it beat faster the more he squeezed her boobs and ass.
But other than that, Aldred could also feel her emotions. Pleasure, desire, love, lust, and the feeling of being safe when she was with him. She was feeling safe in his embrace and knew that she would be loved. Aldred was glad she felt that way.
When he finished sucking her blood, Sophia weakly fell on his chest, and her body became warm.
[Evolution: 18/100]
That was a good number.
"Aldred, take me with you." She tightened her arms around his neck. "Take me wherever you go."
Aldred smiled. "I will."
Sophia smiled and got off to let the other women take a turn.
This time, it was Mareona who sat on his lap with a smile on her face.
"I have been wanting to ask. Are you guys okay with sharing me?"
Mary and Mareona looked confused.
"It's normal for a man to have more than one wife," Mira said. "My religion used to have a rule that one man can only have one wife, but that rule changed a few decades ago."
"Why?"
"To fight against Ceraisian's growing numbers of soldiers. When a male has more wives, he had more children which produced more soldiers for the army. The pope noticed this and reformed the rule."
Aldred nodded. That made sense.
Mary and Mareona did not know that. They thought it was normal from the start. Mary felt like her knowledge wasn't enough. She read many books yet did not realize that a man can't have more than one wife in some places.
She should read more in the future.
"Anyway, why does the pope make a rule that one man can only have one wife before?" Mary asked.
"To have a better quality of children. When a man only has one wife, and a low number of children, they can put more resources and attention on them. But with more wives and children, the father only had limited resources to split. This is why only knights are allowed to have more wives. Other people still can do it, but they wouldn't receive any government money to help raise these children to discourage having more wives."
"So only soldiers and rich people have a lot of wives and children?" Aldred asked.
"Correct. Rich people have the resources to raise a lot of children, and most of them are smart when they grow up. That wasn't the case for poor people. The pope worked hard in creating an education system for poor children. Not much can be done, but at least they could read and write."
Mary was amazed. "All of them can read and write?"
"What's special about that?" Aldred asked.
"Peasants generally couldn't read or write. They only know one thing; farming. Usually, only nobles, soldiers, and scribes could read and write. The empire thought it was a waste of time to teach them those two skills."
Aldred scratched his cheek. "What an interesting world we live in."
