Kara couldn’t stop smiling while sitting on Lucien’s lap, which made it difficult for them to kiss, but it was still enjoyable.
Feeling his hands around her thin waist easily made her wet to soak through her clothes, and because of that Lucien’s pants also wet.
Lucien started to increase the intervals between their kisses. “Little maid, you must control yourself because your uncle is approaching.”
Kara blushed a little as she spoke shyly. “We’ll continue this later, right?”
He laughed and bit her ear, making her moan cutely. “Yes, of course, my dear.”
She gave Lucien another kiss and tried to get off his lap, but he kept his hands around her waist. “I meant for you to contain your liquids, but you can still stay on my lap. You are so cute.”
She happily smiled. “But won’t my uncle find this inappropriate?”
Before Lucien could answer, Ron entered the room and bowed to Lucien. “Good morning, My lord.”
Lucien smiled as he spoke in a friendly tone. “How many times have I asked you to just call me Lucien?”
Ron embarrassingly smiled. “Sorry, Lucien, it’s a habit.”
Then he noticed Kara on Lucien’s lap. Her smile was both shy and bright. “Good morning, my niece. You seem to be very comfortable there.”
Kara was so embarrassed that she pressed her face against Lucien’s chest to hide her cute reaction. “Uncle, I… I… I just… It’s not that…”
Ron sat at the table while he spoke. “It’s all fine, Kara. If that’s what you want, I won’t stop you from being happy. Also, I know that Lucien will take good care of you.”
Lucien started patting Kara on the head. “Of course, I will take good care of her. This cutie deserves to be treated like a princess. I was actually saying that she is going to be my chief maid and live with me from now on.”
He told Ron about the house in the purple world, because he trusts Ron a lot, and also there was no reason to hide it from him. But he only told him essential things to keep the explanation short.
Ron could only be happy for Kara. She would be going with Lucien’s group so he could rest easy, knowing that she would be happy and safe.
Then he started reporting to Lucien about his group of male troops. “Only a week has passed, but we are making good progress. They are very willing to work hard and become disciplined soldiers.”
Lucien was unable to keep himself from laughing. “They are afraid to go back to the forest or that I will cut off their heads. Also, did you get any extra information from the Light Empire Captain that I brought as a hostage?”
Ron quickly started telling him everything they learned from interrogating the Light Empire Captain. “Yes, he didn’t want to say too much in the beginning, but I threatened to call you and the tigress, so he told us everything he could starting from his childhood.”
“From what he said, the Light Empire is mobilizing thousands of troops towards the Alliance. They were on some kind of break since the last year, but now it looks like they are going to attack with all their forces again.”
“That would certainly cause great losses for both sides and would leave the two empires completely unprotected, but apparently the Light God has sent someone to lead them, and now they are stronger and more motivated than ever.”
“The soldiers you faced in the forest were a small part of a larger group that was tasked with opening a larger path through the forest to the Alliance, so they wanted to make sure that the bandits wouldn’t be able to bother them and also wanted to use them as slaves labor.”
Lucien heard that when he quickly tortured the Light Empire Captain, so it looked like the man didn’t have much information about his sister, Amelia.
Ron gave some more technical information about the Light Empire’s armies, and Lucien couldn’t help but be concerned about the massive difference in numbers.
The Light Empire has about three hundred thousand trained soldiers, while its total population reached almost one billion.
The Alliance population and trained soldiers are around the same size, but it is more difficult for them to be completely sure because there are many demi-humans clans further to the north.
But the total population of Portgreen was less than two hundred thousand. And Lucien would kill many of the adventurers and mercenaries when they fought to reclaim Cassidy’s crown.
That concerned Lucien because even if he had a lot of strong women, he would still be at a great disadvantage in relation to Amelia, who was controlling the Light Empire from within.
Still, there was no point in thinking about it too much now. Lucien had plans to use the influence of Scarlett and Olivia to mitigate the losses in the battle for Portgreen.
But before going to Portgreen, he needs to train his troops to be able to face enemy forces twenty times bigger or more in combat.
While Lucien thought about his plans and patted Kara on the head, Ron spoke.
“Lucien… I know you fight very well alongside your wives, but I would still like to suggest some exercises to improve your leadership with the troops.”
Lucien knew that Ron was right. He had not given his tattoo to the troops of women, so he had no way of communicating with them mentally.
His tattoo creates a very profound and mysterious connection with the girls, so Lucien only wants to give it to women he is sure would be his wives and will only belong to him.
Lucien also didn’t know yet if he would need to put a black mark on the female troops because even without his tattoo, they were very loyal to him. After all, they could drink special milk if they work hard.
On the male side, despite being trained by Ron, most of them would be under Lucien’s command in combat, so he needs to learn to lead everyone cooperatively.
“What do you have in mind, Ron?” Lucien asked.
Ron explained. “To begin with, some battle simulation exercises. As the male and female group has similar numbers, they can fight each other while you lead one side, and I lead the other.”
“Next, we can do bigger simulations with you leading them all against me, I will be leading the new soldiers of the kingdom. This type of exercise will be good for everyone to gain more experience.”
Since Angela took control of Bluewind, she has started a campaign to recruit young people from the local population and train them to be soldiers from the beginning.
Lucien couldn’t help but think out loud. “Why didn’t the stupid King train soldiers from the local population like Angela has been?”
Ron shook his head. “He said that our people are a bunch of hicks who didn’t know how to use a sword, and that was why we had to hire experienced soldiers. I couldn’t do much because he was the King.”
“Lucien couldn’t help but chuckle. “What an idiot… It is no surprise Angela never saw him as her man.” Then he continued to pat Kara, who kept smiling. “Ron, you are a good friend and a handy assistant. Should I show all my gratitude to your niece?”
Ron smiled. “Everything I do, I do for the people of Bluewind. I believe that you are already pretty much in control of the Kingdom, same as the Queen- the Queens… Well, they are with you.”
“So I just do my duty as a servant. But if you want to reward me, reward Kara in my place, and I will be extremely grateful.”
Lucien gently kissed Kara on the head. “Little maid, you have nothing to complain about having such a good uncle. Tell me what you want as a reward.”
Kara couldn’t even think straight, enjoying so much pleasure from Lucien’s pats. It wasn’t exactly sexual pleasure but something kind and loving that made her heart warm.
She spoke while making a joyful expression. “Pats… I want more of this, more pats, so much more.”
Lucien laughed as he continued to pat her head gently. “I understand. How about a half-hour pat session every day for a month?”
“Yes! I want it!!” Kara looked very happy, but then she made a thoughtful expression. “After a month, can I have more?”
“Yes, of course, good girls always get rewards,” Lucien responded and continued to stroke Kara while arranging the future battle simulation exercises with Ron.
————————-
An hour later, Lucien went to the barracks behind the castle to continue training the female troops. Lust, Astrid, and Ghilanna were always with him to help.
Lucien’s other girls were more focused on their individual training and mainly received private combat lessons from Cassidy, who also gave sword training to the female troops. Angela helped whenever she could, with anything related to magic.
As soon as Lucien arrived behind the castle, he found all of the women in a very organized formation.
“Master!” Everyone greeted him together. Although it was strange to see him with horns, he was still their handsome master, who gave them special milk as a reward.
Lucien looked at the six hundred women. Although only a week has passed, his essence has made miraculous improvements to their bodies.
They still didn’t look like soldiers, but at least they looked so much healthier than before. Their olive skin shone, and their hair was clean and with a pleasant fragrance.
Neola was in front of the group with a straight and proud posture. Her exotic beauty seemed to improve every time she drank Lucien’s essence.
In fact, all the girls were more beautiful after drinking special milk full of Lucien’s life mana.
Right behind Neola was little Kylee, who, despite being the youngest girl in the group, was the second in the rank among them. As a result, she was the woman who drank most of Lucien’s creamy milk after Neola.
Lucien smiled and approached Neola. She was very eager, but he ignored her and started patting Kylee on the head.
“Little Kylee, you get more beautiful and stronger every day.”
Kylee closed her eyes as she smiled happily to receive Lucien’s affection. “Thank you, master. All my improvements are because you give me delicious milk.”
Astrid and Ghilanna couldn’t help laughing. “I can’t believe we’re part of this…” The elf said.
“It really seems unbelievable. But we know how it is… So I think it can’t be helped.” Astrid responded.
Lucien sent the group of wizards to the castle to receive magic lessons from Angela, while Ghilanna went to train the archers. Neola also started to follow her, but Lucien told her to stay.
The main vanguard had been training fist weapons with Astrid and swords with Cassidy the last week. But Lucien wants them to know how to use various types of weapons as well, to allow their troops to be more adaptable.
Since he recently got the naginata, Lucien wanted to train with it again, and his troops could follow him training pole weapons. He also wants Neola to train with them, even though she is an archer.
The group equipped themself with spears as they had no naginata. Lucien was waiting for Rebecca’s response before looking for another blacksmith to start making his army’s equipment, so they could always have naginatas later.
Lucien first instructed them on how to use a pole weapon properly. He explained the advantages and disadvantages of that kind of weapon.
Then he started sparring with Lust, who is very skilled with most weapons, while the women imitated their movements.
So the group spent the whole morning training. Then they had a great and lively lunch together and continued training in the afternoon.
All the women were focused on their training. The wizards worked hard in their studies with Angela to improve their magic while the archers also did their best to learn from Ghilanna.
Everyone wanted to become stronger as well as receive more rewards from their master. They received their rewards at the end of the day. When Lucien took a bath with everyone in a big pool in the barracks.
The troops had the night to rest while Lucien returned to the castle and entered the purple world with the girls. Some stayed in there during the day to gain extra hours for their training.
The girls took everything they needed to the house in the purple world and so they made a great dinner in the kitchen.
Kara also joined the group and officially became the chief maid. She was delighted to be with the group and did not stop smiling.
While Lucien saw the girls so happy while they were having dinner, he couldn’t help but think of two girls who were missing.
Angela seemed to be very willing to join them and just needed some time and more teasings from Lucien.
So Lucien had to deal with Jeanne. The problem was Mason, who, even in the castle prison cell, still seemed very hostile to him.
