“What is the status on the enemy army?” I asked.


    “Spies reported there was some kind of fighting, but right now they’re quiet.” The Guildmaster explained as I brought him back to my mansion.


    I had formed a small meeting with the relevant parties who weren’t present in the boss room during the battle and informed them of the results. The Mayor, Draven Nova, and Sapphire’s mom were all present. Meanwhile, the girls were seemingly trying out clothing and acting quite relaxed. The bickering that had persisted the last few weeks had disappeared like smoke thanks to Lydia. I didn’t know how she did it, but her very presence seemed to cause all of the other girls to look at her.


    The girls who weren’t part of my harem were still given clothing, healed with potions, and patched up. I use Mass Resurrection in my soul world and brought back the other girls who had perished in my dungeon. Seeing the others they had stepped on, kicked away, or abandoned suddenly in front of them caused the surviving girls to have complicated looks. When it was finally revealed they had all lost and that their lord was dead, not a single girl cried. Rather, they just stared off into the distance, as if wondering what they would do next.


    I wasn’t foolish enough to assume that every girl there would act properly in my soul world. I had my girls make a cell first, and they were resurrected inside that. The girls finished by tying them all up until every harem girl was tied up.


    “It’s possible that they aren’t aware of what happened to King Roth.” I finally answered.


    “Should we send an envoy with the results?” He asked.


    As I said farewell to everyone and reentered the mansion, I realized that there was one girl still by my side.


    “Lydia? What is it?”


    “I-is Master going to bed?” Lydia asked.


    “Yeah, why?”


    Her cheeks reddened. “Do I have to say it?”


    I grinned, reached over, and picked her up, causing her to squeal. “Not at all!”


    “Ahh... M-master!”


    I kissed her roughly and then carried her the rest of the way to the bedroom. I was tired, but I wouldn’t waste a second where I could be with the ones I loved.
