"It''s not going to happen," Minosmented to those three women in a tone that showed his determination.


    "But..."


    Before Iris could even say anything in her devilish voice, Minos rose from his seat, and his women did the same, quickly walking toward the exit of this ce.


    "Well, I''ll find a ce to stay in this city for the next few days. You cane to me when you have official business to talk to." He spoke before opening the door and leaving that office.


    After seeing that, the three women were surprised at Minos'' overreaction, particrly Iris and Joan, who had not witnessed the situation in Dry City months ago.


    "I don''t think he''s going to change his mind..." Lulumented. "Minos is different from the men in our family or our vassals."


    "I refuse to believe he doesn''t desire me!" Joanmented as she got up from her seat, heading out of there, already thinking about how to seduce Minos.


    On the other hand, Iris was more experienced than her oldest daughter and did nothing. Instead, she just stayed behind with Lulu, thinking about the young King Stuart.


    ''Sigh, it will be a pity if he is one of those who only rte to women of his own...'' She looked towards the exit of that ce, wondering if Minos was pretending to be what he was not or being sincere.


    If it was the second case, there was nothing she could do since he was someone important to her ns, a fellow sovereign who deserved respect despite his current low level. So she could not take things too far and would have to ept that she could not experiment with that young man full of energy.


    Lulu was already skeptical about the potential sess of her mother and sister''s onught, so she epted the situation more readily.


    After saying goodbye to the Queen, she went directly to take care of her business, cultivating, something she had done much more since she met Minos.


    Minos cultivated very fast, and a woman like her, who was considered a local prodigy, could not help but be excited to cultivate and not get left behind.


    Before, no one outside her family could apany her in cultivation and serve as a rival. Thus, she had been acent girl who did not cultivate so seriously.


    But now the situation was different!


    So, they all left that ce in the blink of an eye. Minos and his group went to get to know this city while the others followed their own ns.


    ...


    Three dayster...


    After the previous situation, Minos and his group spent their time in the capital of Albano without any problems. They lived in this ce like sovereigns when they were not trying to leave in secret.


    The local guard paid attention to their movements, always trying to escort the group and prevent trouble from getting to them.


    But now and then, Minos'' group would escape from their watch temporarily to experience this city as ordinary cultivators.


    Right now they were doing this, all four of them dressed in clothes that hid their bodies and masks on their faces.


    He and his wives were in a local restaurant, a ce of taste and refinement but with people from all backgroundsing and going.


    Just at this ce where they intended to try a typical local dish, two men sat down near the table of the four and started talking about an exciting subject.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "Have you heard? A ship from the elves'' ind was dered lost six weeks ago." A level 65 man said this to hispanion while drinks and snacks stood between them on the table.


    The other person, of the same level, only with a lot of hair on his face, nodded and said. "That happens from time to time. Elves Ind is not that far from the North Sea. So now and then, depending on where the ship left this ind, the storms in that region may have taken another ship."


    "Hmm, the North Sea is terrible. My grandmother always said that was a home for demons..." The bald fellow said, soon afterward sipping his drink.


    When those individuals changed the subject, Minos was still interested in the words from just now. He was not looking at them to avoid drawing attention but with his pupils turned in their direction.


    Minos'' wives were talking to each other, and then one of them asked. "My love, what is it?"


    Minos looked at Abby and then at his other two wives. "I just heard about the North Sea."


    The North Sea was the reason Emlyn and K had met Minos, as well as being the home of the mysteries that gued Old Grant, the crippled Spiritual Saint of the ck in Army. Because of this, Minos was interested in that area and naturally would not ignore people talking about it.


    ''The home for demons, huh?'' He looked away and then considered. ''That must indeed be the case...''


    ...


    The next day, Minos finished his business with Joan, having gotten his hands on copies of Silver-grade techniques for array masters. At the same time, his order for the originals of ck-grade ssification had been confirmed. It would only be a matter of time before they were delivered to the ck in.


    After finishing his business locally, Minos was sought out again by Queen West, with whom he was walking in a local garden at this instant.


    "So, how was your journey here?" She asked him while having her left arm being held by him.


    The Queen was quite invasive and had an easy time getting into men''s space. Since she was not bold to the point of crossing other boundaries, Minos epted her, although he did not like the situation.


    He then answered her while his wives followed behind them. "Normal... But we''re leaving in the next two days."


    "You''re leaving already?" She stopped walking and turned to him. "Are you sure about that? Training in my state for a while might be better for you before returning to the ck in."


    "About that, I intend to do something else in Albano before returning to my state." He said. "But that may take some time. So I will leave as soon as possible."


    She clenched her fists, frustrated at not getting what she wanted with a man for the first time in decades. "Are you sure you won''t try thisdy before you leave? You know, I would make you my first husband easily if you wanted to..."


    Minos'' wives looked at that shameless woman with narrowed eyes, but they did not even have to say anything.


    "A real man would never subject himself to entering a woman''s ''realm.'' Instead, he would choose which woman to enter his." He said without much feeling, showing her how ipatible they were.


    "Anyway, don''t push it any further. It''s not going to happen."


    "Sigh..." She looked at Minos'' wives andmented but soon followed with their walk, talking about other things.


    At the end of it all, Minos would not join Iris'' reverse harem, and dayster, he would depart this capital in search of the site of the God of Death''s inheritance!
