The Rise of the Black Plain

One month later...

After Minos identified the location of the God of Death's inheritance, he and his wives moved through Albano, not taking long to reach the capital of this state.

But in doing so, they had quickly been identified by the soldiers of the local army, as there was information about Minos circulating throughout all four states of the alliance against the Empire.

Since he and his wives had been traveling leisurely, even visiting large cities in recent weeks, news of his presence in this state had reached the queen's ears.

And with that, the moment Maida approached the capital of this state, royal guards appeared to welcome them before they even landed nearby.

Then these guards promptly began to escort them through the streets of this city, where some ways were closed, and people were in the streets waiting for them to pass.

Minos had become famous in some parts of the Empire for the stories of the Black Plain War of Independence, but also in the four enemy states of the Flaming Empire.

In the case of these kingdoms, Minos was most famous for recent events. His involvement in the situation behind the downfall of the Vogel family and subsequent appointment as future king by the noble families of that state.

So even though he was only a level 62 Spiritual Emperor, someone who could only be considered a little above average in this city, the people here received him happily.

Sovereigns naturally had moments of weakness, the beginning of their journeys when they were not so strong. So many did not care if his level was low and was there to see someone so famous and with such a great future.

One day King Stuart could become a high-level Spiritual Saint, so everyone there could tell stories of seeing such an expert when he was still in his youth.

Thus, Minos and his wives proceeded inside a carriage of the local royal family to the palace of this organization, seeing no problems with these arrangements.

"Minos, don't forget where we are..." Abby commented in a warning tone so that her husband would be more careful in his actions in this place they were in.

The West family had non-traditional methods of relationships, things that even someone with Minos' history of sexuality might be shocked by.

So as it was Abby's concern, as well as Minos' other two wives, to protect him and the family, she made that reminder to him.

Minos heard that and remembered Lulu. "Don't worry. I don't like those strange things practiced in this place."

Minos enjoyed a good time with his women and sex partners. But that was only true if he was the only man involved!

It made no sense for him to do something like share a woman with another man. That was simply absurd!

So, naturally, he did not like the practices of the West family at all and preferred to stay away from the people who led this organization.

Anyway, while they were talking, the carriage taking them soon arrived in front of the royal palace, where many people were watching the area from outside the bars. At the same time, troops and bands were performing a small ceremony, which ended when Minos and his wives stepped out of that carriage.

As they stepped first onto the beautiful sidewalk in front of the entrance rotary to the royal palace, Minos and his wives immediately encountered a group of men, and a few women lined up.

Lulu was standing there while a woman who looked just like her, only a little taller and much stronger, stood to the right of the woman between the two.

The woman between the two, with long beautiful white hair, beautiful in body and face, level 77, was smiling, looking at Minos as if he were a predator in his haste.

A Spiritual Saint then introduced him. "Your Majesty, Minos Stuart, the King of the Black Plain, future sovereign of Vogel."

Another individual said. "Your Majesty, Iris West, Queen of Albano."

"Your Highness..."

Each of the princesses was introduced, along with the introduction of Minos' wives.

At the same time, Minos discovered that all the men there, almost 40 people, were the husbands of either Iris, Lulu, or Joan, that trio of mother and daughters.

'Unbelievable...' He looked at those people and felt a great sense of shame, not understanding how anyone could accept that.

'I would understand ordinary men accepting this humiliation, but...' He looked at the Spiritual Saints among those men, some good-looking, the kind who could do harems elsewhere.

To Minos, it made no sense for people like that to subject themselves to situations like these, to share a single woman with many others.

It must be said that every man above level 65 in that place had the scent of the queen, something that Minos noticed, even though he did not know this woman well.

So, the 'many' were not insignificant!

If they were ordinary people with no prospects, unable to take a woman like Iris to bed, Minos would understand. It might be worth the price for some men to agree to share such a woman. But that did not seem to be the case for the men there...

'Sigh...'

'The West family and their vassals have unique ways of operating.' He laughed, knowing that Iris was looking at him as if she was in the mood to take him to bed.

"King Stuart, it is a pleasure to finally meet you," Iris said as she looked into Minos' brown eyes, ignoring the three beautiful women beside him. "My daughter has said amazing things about you. So why don't we go and talk somewhere quieter? I know you must be tired from the trip here."

"Hmm." He nodded and walked ahead of his wives, approaching that woman and her daughters.

Lulu nodded to Minos and smiled while Joan winked at him, finding this person to have a more 'sharp' bearing than rumors gave him credit for.

In particular, the tattoo in the middle of his forehead was very cool, and she could not help but feel shocks through her body as she felt the sensation it was giving her.

"I didn't think you were so young, King Stuart..." She smiled as she approached him, wanting to do what her younger sister had failed to do.

"Hmm, you all look young too." He said, indicating that they were not, despite their excellent appearances.

So Minos and his wives went about talking to those three while their men stayed behind, just chatting and wondering what would happen.

They had no influence to keep up with the queen, and what's more, they knew what was likely to happen in a few moments...

'Lucky wretch!' Many of them thought about it in silence.

'He's going to have fun with six goddesses all by himself while we have to share them with many of our brothers!'

'What a terrible fellow!'

'Ah, but what can we do? We're not sovereigns like him...'

Thoughts flew in that area as Minos and his group settled into the business room usually used by Iris to negotiate with her partners.

She wanted to have fun alongside her daughters with Minos. Still, she knew she had to talk about serious stuff first, like the issue involving the Flaming Empire!
