Imperial Capital, General's Mansion.
"Wuwuwu… Big bad guy, you clearly said you'd be gentle, liar, big liar!"
"Uh… ahem, don't be so upset. My beautiful and lovely Miss Mine, it's only because you're too delicious that I couldn't resist!"
"Flattering me won't work, those are just excuses! Wuwuwu… it hurts so much, I can't even move now…"
"Oh, that's nothing. It's your first time, I'll massage it for you, it won't happen again!"
"Get lost! I'll never trust you again! Big bad guy! Big liar! Give back what you tricked from me!"
"Uh… how do I give that back? Haha… I got it, once you recover, we'll do it again immediately, then you can take it back!"
"Wuwuwu… you're bullying me again, I don't want to live anymore…"
…
Watching the two who made a fuss as soon as they got home, Esdeath, Najenda, and the other girls all had dark expressions. They had already learned the situation from Akame and Suzuka. Their eyes toward Sora were full of deep contempt, while their eyes toward Mine were full of endless sympathy.
How nice it was to be a free and easy young lady before! So many people envied you!
Hmph, now look, you're just like us. From now on, Miss Mine will be bullied and tormented by that annoying guy for life!
After the matter with Lord was settled, Sora gave instructions to Lord and then returned to the imperial capital with the girls. They had leisurely ridden horses on the way there, but the return trip was over in the blink of an eye.
Last time, a minister's child gave Sora a great item: the Teigu Dimensional Formation [Shambhala], which can instantly teleport the user to any place where a coordinate mark has been left. It can also create a special spatial barrier in a small area, allowing the user to freely teleport within it.
Naturally, Sora wouldn't miss such a convenient and useful item. Like a demon possessed, he directly fused it into the King's Sword, thus mastering this ability.
He left coordinate marks at home and on the girls, so no matter how far away, he could appear beside them in the blink of an eye. Although it's a bit different from the Black Feather Divine Wings ability he gained after restoring the Overlord's power—which allows him to reach anywhere without leaving marks—this ability was especially useful when his otherworldly powers were sealed!
As for Miss Mine, who had been making a fuss since returning home, Sora felt a little apologetic. Although she was small and cute, she really tasted quite delicious! Last night, he got too excited and almost overdid it, nearly breaking her apart.
But now, it's too late to say anything. Should he really give her back? Well, he personally had no objections and was quite willing, sweat…
…
"The Revolutionary Army and Path of Peace have already submitted to us. When do you plan to start the plan?"
Najenda wasn't interested in the trivial matters between Sora and the tsundere Mine. What she really cared about was overthrowing this corrupt empire, so she asked Sora seriously.
"Dear, I want to know too. It seems it will be very interesting."
With sparkling icy blue eyes, Esdeath also looked expectant.
"For me, it doesn't matter when we start, but the Revolutionary Army and Path of Peace need some time to prepare. Najenda, you arrange it. One month from now!"
"First, we'll capture the imperial capital and control the entire empire! Then, we'll clear out the various foreign tribes in the east, west, south, and north, and control the entire central continent! Next, we'll attack the southern countries and northern frozen lands, controlling the entire eastern continent!"
"Finally, we'll destroy the strongest western kingdom and control the entire world!"
Sora's passionate voice echoed through the air, making the girls inside the room's eyes sparkle with excitement and their blood boil. Even the noisy Miss Mine quieted down, her pink eyes shining with endless fiery light.
To dominate the continent and unify the world—just thinking about it was already thrilling. Who else in the world could say such domineering words besides this man before them?
Before encountering this man, they were either noble ladies confined to their boudoirs or talented women cultivated by their families. Although they appeared glamorous on the surface, their fate was to be treated like merchandise, bought and sold at high prices. Facing this cruel and decayed world, they had no ability to resist.
But now, things are different. Not only do they control their own destinies, but they will also control the fate of this world! They will overthrow this rotten and twisted world and rebuild an ideal new world—a world that belongs to them!
"Hehehe… It looks like the coming days won't be boring at all. I'm really looking forward to it…"
Seemingly already envisioning herself hunting one prey after another on the battlefield, Esdeath licked her lips, her icy blue eyes filled with endless anticipation.
"To build a new kingdom where commoners will no longer be oppressed or suffer…"
Najenda's voice, usually serious, couldn't help but express infinite longing.
When she first met Sora, she had a very bad impression of this infamous guy. After he and Esdeath and those other hateful women did that thing to her during the campaign to vindicate the non-human tribes, she hated this evil man to the extreme!
But now, Najenda no longer harbors that hatred. Instead, she feels a bit of relief—for herself and for this world. Although he appears extremely evil, especially domineering toward beautiful women, he can destroy this dark and decayed world and bring new light to it!
"Hehehe… Bad little brother, whether it's those non-human tribes or the southern kingdoms and northern tundra, there are many beautiful women, you know—princesses, queens, empresses…"
"That's right, I heard that in the Western Kingdom, the realm is governed by the Church of Light, and the Holy Maiden representing the supreme divine authority is said to be the most beautiful woman in the world. What are you planning to do with them?"
Pushing aside Miss Mine a little, the slender-armed fairy-like Martha hung her arms around Sora's neck, giggling mischievously with a flirtatious look.
"Hehehe… Isn't it obvious? I'm a man with a heart to save the world! War and decay bring people pain, so I must save them!"
"Don't worry, little fairy, if I don't go to hell, who will? Let me sacrifice myself for those poor souls!"
"Tsk tsk, you seem to know a lot about this. Come on, tell me more!"
Ignoring the disdainful looks from the other women around, Sora urged Martha.
Noble queens, beautiful princesses, dignified empresses, even the holy maidens—oh my, just hearing these names made Sora's little heart race wildly.
"Hehehe… As expected of the greedy bad little brother, I knew you'd say that!"
"Come, let me tell you, starting with the Ice Queen of the Northern Tundra…"
With a coquettish laugh, the shameless fairy Martha began to tell Sora.
The Ice Queen of the North, the Forest Princess of the South, the Holy Maiden of the West, and so on and so forth. Sora listened like a thirsty student eager for knowledge, memorizing each beautiful and enchanting name and secretly tagging them with his own labels…
