After they finished negotiating, Lulu looked at Minos slightly differently and winked at him. "I think we should celebrate this agreement..."
"Is that so? How about we arrange a small occasion after we sign the papers? We can have something to drink on that occasion." Minos said without any hidden meaning.
"Hmm, that will be good. But I was just talking about that..." She licked her lips, looking at those women beside Minos. "Why don't we have some fun together? My secretary and bodyguard can participate too if you want."
After those words were spoken, Minos' three women looked strangely at that princess of Albano, not believing that she had quoted such nonsense.
"Are you crazy?" Abby asked, finding such a thing unbelievable.
Minos then looked coldly at the people in front of him and said. "I know Albano has its strange traditions, but if you suggest something like that again to me or my women, Lulu West, prepare to face my full wrath."
"There are many losers in your state who accept your family's methods. But a real man doesn't divide his woman where I come from." He said in a tone that showed his disgust. "That's just pathetic."
That bodyguard felt particularly attacked by Minos' words, while Albano's two women bitterly smiled.
Minos then focused his attention on Lulu and released his killing intent. "One more warning. Look at my women like that again, and it will be the last time you ever look at anything."
"That..." She felt a strange dread in her soul, for some reason thinking that Minos was the worst of everyone there. "I'm sorry, I thought you would have fun as we..."
She stood up and bowed her head in sincerity.
Gloria then said. "If we ever come to your state, make it clear to your queen and people in your organization how they should behave with our family. I don't even want to hear about you looking at our man!"
Ruth and Abby nodded in agreement.
They already disliked Minos getting involved with other women who had been close to him for years, so when they noticed this opportunity, they used it to scare Albano's women.
"Wooing our husband will be like getting the hostility of the Black Plain. Any good relationship we could have will end if you cross the line!" Abby firmly commented.
Hearing all this, Lulu sighed in disappointment, as she had found them all very attractive and wished to have fun with these four, particularly Minos. 'Sigh... I should have just talked to him!'
'Damn it!'
'I was a fool. People from outside the kingdom don't like to share their women...' She regretted her lack of experience in diplomatic matters like this.
Meanwhile, Minos saw no problem with his women's threats. He enjoyed his relationships with beautiful women, and Lulu seemed perfect. But the way this princess had looked at Gloria, Ruth, and Abby did not seem like a woman's look but a man full of desire.
Unfortunately for Lulu, Minos was highly possessive of his women and was capable of killing anyone who disrespected one of them in such a way.
If it were not for the fact that she was a woman, the princess of Albano, and also had agreed to a deal with him, Minos would have killed her there.
For all that, any attraction he might have had for her was replaced by a great disgust, which prevented him from caring about his women forbidding Lulu and women of that state from approaching him.
"I'm sorry, that won't happen again..." Lulu said before leaving Minos' office with her two companions.
As they left Minos' palace, the princess' secretary commented with a smile on her face. "They don't know what they are missing... One man can hardly satisfy a woman."
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard felt a pain in his chest, as if the world was conspiring to make him feel diminished...
"Sigh..."
"I'm not sure that's the case," Lulu reflexively commented. "My mother once said she slept with a man from the Western Empire. She said that had been the only man who had ever completely satisfied her in bed."
"What?" The bodyguard asked in surprise since he knew of Iris' great sexual appetite.
Lulu continued. "According to her, if she had met a man like that while she was young, she might not have had so many husbands and partners."
"Really?" The secretary asked in disbelief. "Who is this person? Why have I never heard of him?"
"Simple, he didn't stay long in our kingdom. According to my mother, that man liked her but would not accept sharing her with others. My mother already had five husbands at the time, so that fellow only stayed with her once and then left without looking back."
"Anyway, because of that story of my mother, I believe that maybe men outside our state, or powerful men from outside our state, have the capacity for that." She commented on her point. "Perhaps our culture has weakened the personality of the men from our homeland, and this caused a decline in their performance..."
"Oh?" The secretary opened her mouth, thinking that might make sense. 'Regardless of culture, we all seek pleasures. But outside of our state, the idea of reverse harems is not common...'
"That makes sense! They are a bit fragile..." They continued talking, every few moments striking an invisible blow to the confidence of that level 69 man.
'How can that be? I've always done my best!'
'Why do they think I'm so weak?' He did not understand the problem, especially considering that they seemed so content on the occasions they had during their months of travel...
'Were they faking it?'
...
A month later...
After the previous uncomfortable situation, Lulu and Minos eased their tensions by coming face to face, having had several conversations in the following days.
They did nothing, as expected, and aside from sighing in disappointment, Lulu kept control over her impulses, leaving the Stuart family alone.
In the end, after they signed a Soul Contract, her group left back for Albano, ready to start putting the previously agreed terms into practice.
Their agreement was long and complex, with several parts that would take years to fulfill but others that could already begin to be put into practice. Like, for example, the part concerning the Giant Turtles.
The queen had accepted Minos' proposal concerning these beings. Because of this, they had not had to renegotiate, having signed the contract and already being on the wait for these beings.
The Black Plain was also already preparing the resources for the first payment for the resources that Albano would export here, which would come along with those spiritual beasts.
In the meantime, Minos had finally reached level 61 and was ready to go to the Kingdom of the Waves with his wives!
