The Conquerors Path

'She has come a long way in bed...'

I mused as I slowly played with the hair of my mother, her face filled with satisfaction and happiness as her body intertwined with mine fully naked as her head lay on my chest, the night being a very good one for the two of us with me having filled all three of her holes with my seed as she happily took it all in.

'Everyone has their own hidden face, you just have to reach that important level for them to show you that face.....'

After all, who would think that hidden behind that noble and graceful facade of a loving mother, lay a beast in bed?

'Now that was a lot of fun...'

With a smile, I slowly left the embrace of my mother, replacing myself with a pillow, my lips finding themselves on her forehead as I quickly left the mansion, my senses extended as I could feel the sleeping forms of my sisters. The two of them, no doubt, exhausted, the shitstorm happening here affecting everything.

Elda from the groups of men vying for her attention and her hand, while Nora has to struggle to keep her position as the second-hand woman of Olivia. With all the talents that joined all the princesses, there will, after all, be those who wish to be only below one but above hundreds, and the challenges are taking a toll on Nora.

The smart ones are keeping their eyes on her, letting the 'weaker' geniuses tire her out and understand her powers and bloodline. This repetitive attack is keeping Nora on her toes, and Olivia can't do anything about it. In this world, only the strong speak, and in a technical manner, these new geniuses have no reason to truly fear Olivia's power and prestige, for they have their backing.

'This situation is spread all around...'

My eyes turned calculative as I moved around the busy streets of the morning. The more normal students moved around to get to their classes and deal with the things of today. My presence moved undetected among them all.

While Nora is getting bashed, she is also being poached and asked for her hand in romance. Her beauty, style, and presence invoke the desires of all those male students to get a feel of her. The same thing is happening to all the other women, even the princesses that are to be mine.

In a sense, this is good. This pressure and a newfound challenge are slowly strengthening them. The other new geniuses are the whetstone that is grinding these girls, making them better and stronger. That's the main reason I haven't gone all out and helped them all, for they aren't damsels in distress, well, most of the time...

By now, Nora's strength is increasing by the day, while Elda's character is developing in a strong front by dealing with all the ones trying to get her. Her mentality is growing stronger, and that is something I can happily see happening to her.

'But that doesn't mean I want to watch it all happen...'

A smirk lit up my face as I entered the meeting room. My eyes met all my friends and now the new ones sent from the outside. My eyes first met the ones from the Archery Association, powerful archers trained and taught by the best of the best, some even being the direct students of the Council of the QuiverLords.

And such arrogance can be seen in their posture and sitting, but the moment they met me, it only lit up with respect and admiration as all 15 of them gave me a light bow. The strict discipline I did to them is engraved into their body. After all, I did meet them all before, and I did tame all of their arrogance, making them now fully loyal to me, their future lord.

Giving them a nod, I turned to the other batch, the ones sent in by the Dark Night. Their response was the same, a respectful nod to me. But unlike the ones from the Archery Association, their presence was more thin and dark, a weary yet sinister aura around them, blood and poison being their power.

Yet they bowed to me with immense fear and admiration, a subtle difference, yet all the same.

"It's good to see that you are okay,"

Alex spoke with a cheeky grin as he looked at me, the rest of them nodding with relief in their eyes as they gave me their own words.

"Well, I feel good,"

I replied as I took the center seat of the table, the rest taking their positions with respect. The room was now bigger than it had been in the past.

"So how messed up is it?"

I asked Alex.

"As messed up as it can be..."

He replied.

"Is this the list of all the ones aiming for my sisters?"

I asked.

"Yup, every single detail is in there,"

Alex replied with a smug grin, to which I turned my attention toward Emma.

"How is the acquisition of the new beasts I moved?"

"They are well and ready..."

Emma replied, flashing me a nice look. While 'seductively' trying to put her hair to her ears, her appearance is a bit different, a touch of femininity and sexuality mixing into her.

'Whatever Clara is teaching her, it's working...'

Musing at that thought, I turned towards Rina. Her eyes, unlike before, dodged mine, seemingly both embarrassed and not knowing what she should do, yet she was trying her best to look at me as she replied without me asking anything.

"I have acquired the ones you want and put them into the training."

"Good,"

That is all I spoke as my eyes met Mika and Rika, both of them biting their lips as I asked.

"So it went bad with your cousins... huh?"

These words only made them guiltily look down.

"Don't worry, we will talk about it later."

With that response, I turned to Zora.

"Are they all ready?"

"Ready to cause damages everywhere, and there is something I need."

Zora spoke.

"What is it?"

I asked.

"I need to discuss something important with you after all this is over..."

She spoke, to which I gave her my words, but that talk is never going to happen. When this problem is solved, another one is going to pop up. I will make sure of it. After all, I need to keep these girls busy from suddenly jumping at me and confessing all their feelings.

"Mark..."

I called out.

"45 challenged and 45 wins."

He immediately replied.

"Good,"

I replied as I turned to Jacob, who flinched at my gaze. The normally energy-filled man was meek and sad. Seeing this, I smiled at him.

"That girl was wrong for what she did, and it's something everyone falls for."

"But, but I should have seen it coming!"

Jacob shouted as he slammed his hand into the table, it trembling under his might. His emotions are anger and betrayal. It's the reason being very simple, a girl he came to love and cherish ended up being a controlled plot of an opposing party to get information about me, in this case, the party being Angelina.

"My friend, you couldn't have seen it coming because of this."

As I said this, I passed a document to Jacob, one that I passed to the rest of them. A few seconds of silence passed by after which his body started to tremble, his veins scrunching up, while his muscles started to deform.

"I... WILL... MAKE... THEM... ALL... PAY..."

Jacob spoke through gritted teeth, his expression of anger being on the rest of my friends. The reason was simple, for the girl didn't betray Jacob, for she genuinely cared for him. Otherwise, I would have had her removed from this world a long time ago. Yet I didn't expect Angelina to pull a move like this.

It's an unspoken rule of the Babylon Academy to keep the challenges to the academy within the academy. Going outside to deal with such things isn't acceptable, and with the proof I have, I can get Angelina thrown out of the academy, princess or not. The Babylon Academy isn't a place whose rules can be easily bent.

And Angelina went out of her way to make this girl's life miserable, to push her into a situation where she didn't know she betrayed Jacob with information.

'A clever ploy, she even covered all her tracks, but she didn't cover them enough.'

"My friend, we will make her pay, but shouldn't it be in a way that makes it the most enjoyable?"

I asked with a smile. This situation wasn't one I expected, but it sure as hell is one that I am going to use.
