The Rise of the Black Plain

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ

While Nelson fled the Brown Kingdom capital to hide from young Stuart, Misty had just gotten her hands on one journal that had information about the war's ending.

After months since Minos' passage through the Snow Kingdom, this woman, formerly part of House Reid and now engaged to the local Crown Prince, sought information about Minos almost daily.

At first, she still did this because she wanted to read about young Stuart's possible problems or mistakes. She wished that the one responsible for the deaths of her loved ones suffered. She had already given up on any desperate attempt at revenge, but that did not stop her from praying for the worst for him.

However, without realizing it, she had begun to follow the regional news with some satisfaction as she read about the good news for the Black Plain and Minos.

Not only that, such a beautiful woman had already spent days thinking about how Minos had 'rejected' her and how he was terrible for saying things with double meanings to her in front of her fiancé.

So, whenever new issues of the regional periodicals were released, she wasted no time in getting a version for herself to keep up with the latest doings of that fellow.

And that was what she was doing at her residence, sitting beside a table, holding the large sheet of newspaper in her hands, while a cup of tea on that table emitted a yummy fragrance.

'... That way, the Black Plain as an independent state is already a reality. We are just waiting for the official coronation ceremony to confirm all the regional changes.' She finished reading one of the stories in that edition, looking at that sheet in her hands with a twinkle in her eyes.

'Everything is finally over... Now we can go back to living in peace without senseless confrontations.' She closed her eyes, glad that the war was over.

She had been well away from the war for most of the conflict on the Black Plain. However, that did not mean she was not affected by such a thing. After all, war disrupted the functioning of every organization involved in it.

Moreover, even if the Snow family had subordinated themselves to Minos, that was no guarantee that there would be no trouble and that they were safe.

Considering that she had already fled one family, which had now been wiped out, this woman could not help but feel good knowing that the war was over and that its instability could soon be resolved.

Since the entire region was now under Minos' influence, her future as queen of a regional kingdom was assured.

Being the queen of one state subordinated to another was not precisely something great. But almost all the states in the region were in more or less similar situations to the Snow family. So, the queen status she was about to gain would not be that much less than that of the queens before the rise of Minos.

With that, Misty was relaxed about this position that would be passed on to her in the future.

Her marriage to Ambrose was scheduled to take place in the next few months. However, even if King Snow was still the de facto king, due to Minos' agreements, Misty had that position guaranteed by marrying such a prince.

And knowing the end of the war, she feels more comfortable with her kingdom's position and looks to the future.

She took her eyes off those sheets of paper in her hand, looking out onto the luxurious balcony that was in that residence Ambrose had given her. 'I must teach my fiancé to be useful to Minos.'

'In the past, I was a fool to stand against him even though I knew how talented he was. But I won't make that mistake again!'

'He said that if I worked well for him, he would reward me, right? Well then, I will make the Snow Kingdom the state under his control with the best results!' She closed her fists in determination, remembering how that person had looked at her before he departed from this city.

She then murmured. "Sooner or later, you will see my worth..."

After that, Ambrose entered that area and saw his fiancée with a thrilled expression on her face. "Misty, what's the matter with you? You look even more beautiful than ever!"

That woman then lost the distinctive look from before and observed her fiancé with an expression she knew how to use to please. "Do you think so?" She said it in a flirtatious tone, fiddling with her hair.

"I was thinking about the most handsome man I've ever met, and I got like this..." Misty said this seductively, looking at Ambrose as if to say she was thinking of him.

"Oh?" He smiled in surprise, thanking the heavens in silence for bringing this woman into his life. "Hehe, looks like I'll have to try harder not to disappoint my beautiful fiancée."

...

Meanwhile, Jade had also learned about the recent news and was more than happy with Black Plain achieving independence.

"Sigh... Finally, this madness is over." She said this to her husband as she lay on the large bed where only she and Linette were at the moment.

Linette then looked at the man getting dressed next to that bed and said. "Now that this is over, we need to start putting the Black Plain migration policies in place."

King Carline continued putting on his clothes and said. "Yes, we have already started doing that."

"In any case, now that the war is over and the Black Plain has become a state, it won't be long before even more critical changes take place in our region..."

"We have to be prepared for the challenges ahead. That brat won't take it easy on us. I can feel it."

Hearing this, Jade frowned and looked at her husband seriously. "Don't call him a brat! What do you think will happen to subordinates who behave like that?"

"If he finds out about this, I don't know what might happen..."

After those words were said, the two people there looked at her for a moment, but there was nothing to say against those wise words. It was just bizarre for them to see that woman defending Minos so early in the day.

"I don't think he'll find out. Just stay calm, Jade." King Carline said this without caring much for his wife's words.

But Linette looked strangely at Jade, trying to understand what was happening with this woman. 'Jade has been behaving differently since her return from negotiations...'

'Has something happened? Has Minos threatened her in some way?'

Jade then said to her husband, who was already leaving that place. "In any case, let's not cause trouble for ourselves by just silly words."

"Minos is already the leader of our region, and considering his talent, it won't be long before he becomes a Spiritual Emperor. So, let's forget about past problems and focus on the future."

"We must do our best to attract his attention. Maybe this can turn into great gains for our family!"

Before leaving that place, the king sighed and agreed with his wife, leaving that place with a slightly altered expression, feeling a heaviness in his heart that he did not understand.

As for those two women, when they were finally alone, Jade moved from where she was until she stood over Linette.

She looked into that woman's white eyes and smiled just before moving down her body and kissing the seductive neck of Ford's mother.

"Mmmmm~"

"Jade, what's the matter with you? Why do you keep defending that young man even when we are alone?" Linette asked this amidst her altered breathing as she felt Jade's fingers trailing down her body.

Jade did not answer immediately, devilishly smiling as she kissed Linette's neck. She then said. "Forget about it. I'm just worried about our future."

"But let's not talk about that at the moment~" Jade finally removed the top of Linette's clothes, revealing two perfect peaks, which now had their nipples fully erect. "Let me show you something I learned recently~"

"Ahhhh~"

Immediately after feeling Jade's mouth and finger movements, Linette began to moan in pleasure, feeling something different than what King Carline and this man's women made her feel.

"Ahh~ Jade, what is that? That is different from your techniques~"

"Hehe, maybe in the future I'll explain it to you about that..." She said this as she felt the taste of Linette's left nipple in her mouth. "Maybe I'll even let you try that thing that inspired me."

"You won't regret it!" She looked into Linette's eyes just before she got under the sheets of that bed, ready for her first 'meal' of the day.

"Ahhh~"
