The more Asmodeus investigated the current King of the Fynn Kingdom, the more disgusted he became.
He couldn't believe that someone like him was able to remain in power for so many years, with no one challenging his rule.
Perhaps, there had been a few who did challenge the current King in the past.
However, with the backing of the corrupt Nobles by his side, these Rebels were snuffed out before they could even grow, allowing the vile King, who was sitting on the throne, to continue his debauchery.
'This King's days are numbered,' Asmodeus thought. 'Of all the people that he offended, he chose to offend my Master's parents. His death will certainly not be swift.'
The Lich King's lips curled up into an evil smile as he gazed at the Royal Palace in the distance.
If he wanted to, he could probably kidnap the King without too much effort.
But he didn't want to risk it since there were two Saints protecting the Kingdom.
He was afraid that if he made a move, the King would go into hiding, making it more difficult to capture him.
For the time being, he silently continued gathering information on who might be the next suitable ruler of the Kingdom.
In all honesty, Asmodeus wanted to propose that his Master just take over the kingdom as its King.
He had the bloodline of the Fynn Royal Family flowing inside his veins, so his legitimacy was secured.
Though, even without that Royal Bloodline, Lux could still take over the Kingdom using sheer might.
Even though the neighbors of the Fynn Kingdom, like the Vahan Empire, might be alarmed by the sudden changes that would be happening soon, Asmodeus didn't give a hoot about what they thought.
If they had a problem with his Master, he would not hesitate to march his Undead Legion into their Capital Cities and drag their Kings off of their thrones.
That way, Lux would not rule a single Kingdom, but instead a vast Empire, with countless subjects waiting for his beck and call.
"Keep dreaming, Asmodeus," Asmodeus said bitterly. "Master will never do something like that."
The Lich King sighed before shaking his head.
'I wonder if I can convince Eiko to become an Empress? Asmodeus thought. 'Although Master doesn't like to rule, I have a feeling that Eiko might be willing to do it. If only she was just a bit older… it would have been perfect.'
What Asmodeus didn't know was that the Baby Slime that he was thinking fondly of was currently humming a happy tune as her Boom Boom Pirate Crew destroyed all the opposing forces in the Ford Federation.
The Pirates, as well as the families, who longed to overthrow the Three Great Families and the Ten Prestigious Families of the Ford Federation, were all gathering under her banner.
The remaining forces of the Families who once ruled the island nation with an iron fist were either fleeing to different nations or surrendering to their enemies.
None of them were powerful enough to face Eiko's might, especially after she had turned the Supremes of the Three Great Families into her underlings.
The flags of the Boom Boom Pirate Crew fluttered across the islands of the Ford Federation.
If Asmodeus was able to see them, he would probably ask the Baby Slime to give him a few of her flags so that he could also plant them in the Fynn Kingdom.
Eiko was Lux's daughter.
Since she was family, then she could rightfully rule the Fynn Kingdom.
What? A Baby Slime, who is considered a Monster, didn't have the right to rule a Human Kingdom?
Who said that?
Blackfire would like to offer you a Life Insurance Package before it slaps you to oblivion.
Huh? Kings and Emperors would refuse to recognize her as Empress?
Wait a minute, we have a few Supremes and Demigods who would like to talk to you about the meaning of life.
Unlike her Papa, Eiko was a battle junkie who wouldn't hesitate to start making things explode left and right.
If the Baby Slime was aware that the Divine Army had bullied Lux while she was away, she would have probably teleported to Lux's side and summoned Poseidon to start an all-out war against the Divine Army of Light.
So what if they had one of the Pillars of Eternity?
Eiko had one too, and her Golden Anchor could drown countless cities in Sea Water if she wished for it to happen.
Fortunately, the Lich King had no idea that Eiko was in possession of such power.
If he knew, he would happily collaborate with the Baby Slime and conquer vast swaths of land, making her the Empress of the biggest Empire in the world.
Of course, whether Lux would allow such a thing to happen was another story.
Elven Spring…
"Lux has eight lovers?" Adeline asked in a surprised tone as she washed Aurora's back.
"It almost became nine a few days ago," Aurora commented. "However, I believe that it will only be a matter of time before Princess Anastasia becomes one of my Sisters."
"…I can still believe that Lux is capable of having two Dwarf Princesses as Fiances," Adeline said. "But, two Dragon Princesses as his lovers as well? I don't know if I should commend him or caution him for daring to do such an outrageous thing. He is just an A-Ranker. Isn't he afraid of Supremes pinching him like a bug?"
Aurora giggled as Adeline continued to wash her back. "Believe it or not, he managed to do it. But, please keep this as a secret for now. If this gets out, things might get complicated."
"Then why did you tell me this?" Adeline inquired. "Are you not afraid that I will spread this information to others?"
"You won't do that," Aurora replied with confidence. "You won't do anything that might bring harm to Lux."
"How can you be sure of that? We've only been together for a day."
"Woman's intuition."
Adeline didn't know if he should laugh or cry after hearing Aurora's casual reply.
"Have you forgotten?" Adeline lightly patted Aurora's head. "I'm a woman too. Also, you made a mistake."
The beautiful Elf moved closer to whisper something in Aurora's ears.
"You're still a young lady, and not yet a woman," Adeline whispered. "I can tell that you still haven't done it with Lux."
Aurora's face reddened after hearing the beautiful Elf's words.
She didn't know that Adeline specialized in Nature Magic, so the Elf was able to tell these kinds of things with a single glance.
"I-I am not in a hurry to do it with him," Aurora stuttered.
"Really?" Adeline smiled. "Well, I guess that's fine too. Letting nature take its course is how things should be."
The beautiful Elf wanted to know more about Lux, so she asked Aurora many questions.
There were a few questions that she wasn't able to answer.
However, she had the Guild Chat.
Aurora didn't hesitate to ask these questions in the chatroom where all of Lux's lovers were.
Iris, who heard her questions, asked Aurora why she was asking these kinds of questions.
Since the pink-haired beauty didn't want to have secrets with her sisters, she mentioned that she was currently with someone, whom she believed to be Lux's biological mother.
The young lady didn't expect her words to instantly cause a commotion among Lux's fiances and lovers, who started to interrogate her and ask her where she and Lux were currently at.
"… I should have gone with them," Iris muttered while rubbing her forehead. "I missed the chance to meet Lux's Mother first."
Cai, who was seated beside her, was also feeling regretful.
Lux didn't say where he was going with Aurora, so the majority of them thought that he was just taking her out on a date.
Among Lux's lovers, Aurora was the only one whom Lux hadn't embraced yet.
Because of this, everyone encouraged her to spend some time with Lux alone and even told her that if she saw an opportunity, she shouldn't hesitate and go for it.
Although Iris and Cai were a bit disappointed that they weren't able to meet Adeline like Aurora, the two of them answered the questions that their sister had asked of them.
Of course, they made Aurora promise them to do everything in her power to convince Lux to make Adeline one of his guild members.
That way, the Elf could teleport to Lux's Guild Headquarters, giving them all the opportunity to meet his Mother for the first time.
