    After Rudy and the group of humans and mythical creatures he had savednded in his dynasty, a sense of awe and wonder filled the air. The sprawling kingdom unfolded before them, a testament to Rudy''s power and vision. Majestic towers reached towards the sky, adorned with banners and gs bearing the emblem of his dynasty. Lush gardens bloomed with vibrant colors, and ornate fountains danced with crystalline water.


    The arrival of the procession stirred curiosity among the girls in Rudy''s harem, who were peering out of their castle balcony. They had grown ustomed to the luxurious lifestyle, and the attentionvished upon them, but this sight was something altogether different. The spectacle of Rudy''s entourage, with mythical creatures and diverse humans, piqued their curiosity and left them in awe.


    Whispers filled the halls as the girls exchanged hushed conversations, their eyes wide with anticipation and wonder. They wondered who these neers were, and what their arrival meant for their ce within the dynasty. Some felt a tinge of jealousy, worried that their position in Rudy''s heart might be challenged. Others felt a sense of excitement and curiosity, intrigued by the possibility of new rtionships and alliances.


    Rudy, leading the group with confidence and grace, noticed the girls in the castle windows and smiled. He understood their curiosity and the questions that swirled in their minds. As he moved towards the castle, a red shine caught his attention that came from the opposite side of the castle.


    He looked at it and saw Rias standing with an expressionless face. However, she wasn''t looking at Rudy, but the people he had brought with him.


    He immediately teleported behind her, catching no one''s attention, and tapped on Rias'' shoulder.


    "Is everything okay?" He asked calmly. "Why aren''t you with the other girls?"


    "I was exploring the castle." She replied and pointed her gaze to the people in the kingdom.


    "What''s what?"


    "You will know in a few seconds."


    "Hmm."


    Rudy hugged Rias from behind and kissed her on the side of her neck.


    "What?" Rias inquired.


    "I am… nervous. Well, not nervous, but… anxious?"


    "I believe both words have the same meaning."


    "Fuck meanings. I did something nerve wrecking today and I still can''t believe I did all that. I instantaneously used all the ideas I had about my new powers that might work."


    Truly, Rudy had used thebinations of many of his abilities that allowed him to create a new one. He had learned to turn his body into molecules, but then he learned to be on an atomic level that could pass through anything.


    Thus allowing him to pass through the walls like a ghost.


    The summoning was also the same. He could create anything using the power of creation, and he couldmand them, even if it was a non living being.


    Rudy never had to use such abilities in his daily life when there was nothing interesting to do.


    The night of the subjugation and summoning was the mark of the beginning of his journey as the Lord, although he was yet to announce his Lordship.


    "Why would you do something alone if you weren''t sure about the sess rate?" Rias asked curiously.


    She leaned back on Rudy and turned around, wrapping her arms around his neck.


    Rudy lowered his gaze and muttered, "I am nning something. I will tell you and the girls when I am ready."


    "Hmm. You don''t have to tell us everything. It''s okay to have secrets. You are the Lord, you can''t tell us everything, you know?"


    Rudy looked past Rias'' shoulder and watched the people he had saved— strolling in the kingdom streets.


    "This kingdom will be lively soon. How is your preparation going?" He asked. "I used my vision ability when I arrived here and I saw Lu B is busy designing the rooms."


    "Yeah. It''s going to take a while, but my room is ready."


    "So…?"


    Rias went silent for a few seconds and spoke before biting her lower lip.


    "I need your permission."


    "For what?" Rudy listened attentively.


    "I want to knock Jane unconscious. I didn''t want to do that without asking you."


    "I am not giving you permission for that."


    "But you promised you will—"


    "I said I will y along with your revenge n. I never said I would help you execute it." Rudy shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.


    "You know I can''t win against Jane. How am I going to lock her in my room? I can invite her and lock her, but she will easily break the door or fly out of the window."


    "That''s your problem."


    Rias let out a sigh with a disappointed look on her face.


    "You can always try other methods. You are a princess, Rias. You were raised to rule the vampire world. Use your intelligence."


    Afterforting Rias, Rudy teleported to his former spot and spread his hands in the air.


    He signaled for the procession to halt. His voice, filled with authority and warmth, echoed through the air.


    As Rudy ascended higher in the sky to the level of the castle''s balcony where the girls were watching from, the harem held their breath, their gazes locked on his figure. He turned his head, his eyes meeting theirs, and a smile danced upon his lips—a smile that spoke volumes of pride, love, and shared triumph. In that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the bond between them transcended the physical realm.


    "My Lovely Harem," Rudy''s voice resonated, carrying his words to every corner of the castle. "Fear not, for this day marks the beginning of a new chapter in our dynasty. These individuals I bring with me are not here to rece or challenge you. They are fellow beings, saved from a cruel fate, and they seek sce and a new home within our walls."


    His words brought a sense of relief to the girls, as they realized that their ce in Rudy''s heart was secure. They listened intently as Rudy continued, his voice carrying a tone of inclusivity andpassion.


    "We are a family, bound by our shared experiences and the bonds we have forged. Together, we shall build a kingdom where love, understanding, and unity reign. I ask you to wee our newpanions with open hearts, for they bring with them unique strengths, wisdom, and perspectives that will enrich our dynasty."


    The girls turned to each other with confused faces, all of them thinking the same thing.


    "Rudy would never say such things…"


    Truly, it was out of character for Rudy to sugarcoat the words and his actions.
