The next day, Arona proceeded along with the plan Sam sent her which she advocated as her plan to Aina.
She took three similar herbs that gave out some transparent liquid when squeezed out and applied it on Aina's arms. She only left one herb intact and Aina held on to it.
The women are all moving towards a spot which is supposed to have some special fruit which Aina believes extremely great addition to 'her cooking'.
As the King is a sucker for her and her cooking, he agreed without a second thought and sent all the ladies to collect the fruit. Since he killed his guards the ladies are the only ones left to do his work.
And somehow she even managed to make sure that he stays within a certain range.
Sam planted some berry bushes nearby to create a proper scenario and the ladies arrived there as they plucked the fruit.
At this moment, they sensed a presence coming from the side and before they knew it, the Raiju Elder already appeared near Aina, ignoring the remaining women.
The women who are already under the influence of the drug looked at the most hated person being attacked and didn't even bother to react.
They cannot kill her, as the King would be dealing with them if they did, but that doesn't mean they cannot just let her die on her when an external party attacked.
They are not her bodyguards after all.
They genuinely wished that Raiju elder would kill her. The Raiju elder caused a lot of ruckus and made some big moves and Aina started running towards the Queen.
Queen who is clearly stronger than Raiju elder in cultivation level didn't want to get involved in this. More than anyone else, she wished that Aina died on the spot.
So, she dodged to the side and let the beast have his go.
"Queen, you have to save me. Otherwise, the King wouldn't let you off."
"The King has to know before he makes a decision. And I am sure, no one here will be giving him the news."
As she spoke the rest of the women agreed and suddenly their eyes landed on Arona who is standing at the edge of the field.
"There is indeed a snitch here. It is possible he might know."
As she said she gestured for the women nearest to Arona to make a move. At this exact moment, the King came from his hiding.
"You filthy Whore."
He yelled at the Queen and looked at them coldly. Aina threw the herb into the air and the Raiju elder caught it before running away.
The King wanted to follow him and make a move, but as Raiju elder dove into the forest, he disappeared all of a sudden which cut his trail off.
After a futile search to look for the tracks and the cloud anger he has towards his wife and concubines, he walked out of the forest and went to the field where the women all gathered together, with the exception of Aina and Arona.
The latter is currently feeding some potions to the former.
"King, listen to me for a moment. Please."
The Queen asked as she tried to talk her way through this situation. But the King is already angry and his staff is already out.
The surrounding wind elemental energy is completely riled up. The Queen and the women tried to plead some more, but that all turned out to be futile. He didn't back down and slowly walk towards them as he channeled his energy into the staff.
Queen looked at his cold eyes and spat on the ground coldly before saying.
"I accompanied you through thick and thin for decades. I helped you become the king and offered you all kinds of assistance. I was there beside you in war protecting your back. I was there beside your bed when you were injured.
Now, because of a vixen you dare do this to me? How dare you? How dare you betray me like this?"
She yelled and sobbed at the same time, there is a burning resentment in her eyes.
The King looked at her with anger, disgust, and disdain in his eyes and without speaking anything lifted his staff.
And then the battle began. Aina broadcasted it live and Sam saw this along with the twins and his subordinates.
One must say that the Queen is quite strong. She is at least as strong as one of the twins and she has great battle instincts. She can think on her feet quickly and made some significant damage.
But unfortunately the King who mostly relied on the brute force still managed to overpower.
The battle lasted fifteen minutes and this gap he killed almost all of the women and only spared some as they begged and pleaded for mercy.
No one knows if he didn't kill them because he really showed mercy or if it is because he couldn't care less about them.
At the last clash between the King and the Queen, when the staff was about to make a contact, she used all her energy to thrust her sword into the arm that was holding the staff.
The staff landed and half of the bones in her body broke. She fell to the ground with blood coming from her orifices.
She had a smile on her face as she looked at Aina and said.
"She will be the end of you."
She closed her eyes and died.
He then looked at the women who are half dead and barely alive and said.
"I am leaving you alone for now, because you are just bystanders. But this is the final warning. Aina will be your new queen from today and you all have to respect her as you did to me. Do you understand?"
They nodded and knelt before Aina asking for forgiveness.
Aina was stunned for a moment. This is what she was yearning for. This is her goal and she achieved it just like that.
She can wear the golden shoulder pads and roam around the planet. She would be the dream woman of everyman but they cannot touch her and would even fear imagining something with her.
She would be a symbol of the tribe.
As she was reveling in her own fantasies, the King dragged her away to make love to distract himself and the rest of the women followed.
Arona was the last one to move behind them.
She got a new message.
And she was surprised when she read it.
But she did as she was told.
For the next few days, the wound on the King's hand didn't heal. For some reason, no matter how many times he took the required pills, the bleeding didn't stop and the wind elemental energy is not really a healing element.
He doesn't have any healers at hand. So, once again Arona came into play.
She went to meet Aina and used her to deliver another recipe which stopped the bleeding and made the wound scab, but the arm became a bit numb and he needs to give the arm some rest.
In the next two days, they reached the next settlement, where the King announced Aina as the new queen.
Even though everyone has many doubts in their minds, they didn't dare ask them out loud. King does whatever he wants.
This time he left the job to pick the new women in the city to some other women and directly took Aina inside to make some love on a comfortable bed.
But for some reason, in the middle of the sex, he lost the weird soothing sensation he always gets while doing it with Aina.
But he didn't stop, in fact, he increased his pace and started using all his strength.
Aina started screaming in pain and almost broke some bones which prompted him to leave her alone.
He went to the rest of the women and let Aina recover.
But for the next two days, no woman managed to give him any pleasure.
He felt like he lost a part of him. He felt incomplete.
The sex he liked so much felt like a tedious activity he was being forced to do to find that weird pleasure that made him smitten with Aina.
He couldn't find it anywhere and then he directly went to Aina who was still recovering and started raping her even though she tried to resist.
After knowing that he couldn't be controlled, she calmed down and went along with it while leading him on with her bedroom tricks.
He calmed down for a while and tried to enjoy it, there are a few traces of the joy he was searching. But he couldn't get a hold it.
It is almost like he is fishing with his hand and he could touch the fishtail and fins. But he couldn't get a grip on the fish no matter how hard he tried.
But at least with Aina's efforts, he was satisfied for the moment.
