The Rise of the Black Plain

"I think she's great, but I don't feel the same way about her as I do concerning you and Abby," Minos replied sincerely to Ruth as he felt her hands around one of his arms.

Ruth smiled softly and said. "That's better. I don't think it would be good for you and her to have more than just fun anyway."

"Oh? Why is that? Were you jealous of her, Ruth?"

"I'm not saying I was jealous, but, indeed, I don't want you constantly chasing other women..."

"But I don't think Kara would be a good woman for you because she is too libertine." She looked into his eyes, ready to inform this man of some things she knew.

"Libertine? I don't disagree, haha." Minos laughed, confident that this was Kara's case, or she would not have given in to him in the previous situation when he had such high demands on her family.

On the other hand, even if Minos was ignorant on this point, the very behavior of that woman in bed was a great warning of her personality.

Unlike Abby and Ruth, who had given him trouble to conquer and had taken time to evolve their skills in bed, Kara was an authentic sex goddess!

And in Minos' experience, a woman with so much energy in bed, and techniques to satisfy her partner, would hardly not have an extremely active sex life.

And people like this usually had several partners.

As such, he agreed perfectly with the description used by Ruth to describe Kara.

But then he heard something he did not expect. "Hmm, but her level of debauchery is a little higher than you think." She smiled as she stopped the two of them walking, brought her lips to his right ear, and whispered. "I once saw her and Ford having sex."

"What?" Hearing that, young Stuart exclaimed this in shock as he looked in disbelief at his beautiful fiancée, "Is that serious?"

She nodded in agreement. "Hmmm. I almost couldn't believe it when I saw it, but it was indeed both of them."

"Unbelievable!"

"Or maybe not..." He looked down at the ground as he remembered how Ford had reacted after discovering that his precious sister had played with him. 'Now it all makes sense!'

'That fellow's reaction was way over the top for someone who just had his sister fucked by me...'

'And come to think of it, by Jade's ways, that hadn't been her first time seeing Kara having sex with someone.'

'Hmmm, she definitely knew about the forbidden relationship between those two!' Minos' eyes widened in interest, finding that family's affair curious.

Minos naturally did not judge the wishes of others. To him, as long as each party involved wanted such a thing and did it with discretion, he honestly would not mind.

He particularly would not recommend it, but hell, who was he to judge others?

And, of course, he felt pretty interested in relationships like this between women. After all, it was a magnificent experience, and he knew this very well...

Viola and Mirya had shown him that!

Minos then looked at his fiancée and asked. "And why did you only tell me this now? I'm sure you've known this for a long time..."

She looked away from his gaze and explained. "Before, I didn't want to expose a friend telling such secrets."

"Uh? And now you aren't friends anymore?"

"We are still friends. But since you and she had your adventures, you deserved to know the truth about her." She looked at him again with a loving expression on her face. "I wouldn't let you get more seriously involved with her without telling you that."

"So that's it..." He laughed, pleased that his woman had told him this.

'But I wonder how the relationship of those two will turn out? What that fellow saw in his father's royal throne room is not something for everyone...'

'Haha, never mind. When I see her again, I'll try to talk to her about it.' He laughed internally but did not feel bad for everything that had happened.

Ford had decided to spy on his sister having sex with Minos. And hell, young Stuart had nothing to do with those two's relationship.

If they had a commitment and she still gave herself up to Minos, then that was Kara and Ford's problem, not young Stuart's.

And at the end of the day, Kara probably had other partners. So, if she was important to Ford, this man already had plenty of problems besides Minos!

With this in mind, Minos quietly returned to his mansion at Ruth's side.

...

A few days later.

After leaving the Spiritual Church camp, Gloria had traveled directly to the capital of the Kingdom of the Waves, where she had just arrived.

With this, she was interested in ending her affairs in this kingdom at once by having the coronation ceremony for the new king of this state.

However, unfortunately for her, upon arriving at the local royal palace, she found a slightly different situation than she expected.

"Archbishop Frost, I am sorry to inform you, but the future king and his brother are not in the capital." One of the strongest individuals left in this place after the invasion of Minos said this in an apologetic tone.

Upon hearing such a thing, the eyebrows of that beautiful red-haired woman rose, and she asked. "They are not here? I know Prince Blake will probably take a few days to finish his journey back, but what about Wilfred? Why isn't he around?"

"That..."

"Archbishop Frost, don't you know about the recent news?" That man who had his head down until then looked at her briefly as he asked this in doubt.

"Of course, I know about the recent news. Who wouldn't follow that at such a decisive moment?" She replied as she remembered how much Minos had surprised her.

She already knew that he would try to eliminate those people from the Brown Kingdom and the Cromwell Kingdom. Still, she had never expected that things would develop so easily for him!

She had honestly been surprised when she heard about the death of King Brown and all the descendants of that state that come from the Flaming Empire.

However, she still did not understand why this member of the Walker family was talking about it at this time.

He then explained. "Your Highness... No, Charles Walker will be executed in Dry City in the next few days."

"Minos demanded the presence of Charles' two older brothers."

"What?" Her eyes opened wide, finally understanding the situation. "So the two of them are going to that place?"

"Yes."

She then looked up at the sky and closed her fists, feeling that Minos was purposely acting to delay her plans.

'That rascal!'

'This will delay my return by months!'

She was here to do a coronation, but the heir would be away from this place for at least a few weeks. That was not good for her!

Gloria still had to go to the Brown and Cromwell kingdoms to do the same. But leaving this place now to go to another state would result in her wasting even more time in this region.

And knowing this, she could not help but sigh in defeat, realizing that waiting for the return of the two Walker brothers was the best thing for her.

"Sigh..."

'Minos, I think you'd better make up for that in the future.' She thought about it with her eyes closed, imagining the attractive face of that man. 'But I hope your actions won't keep delaying my return indefinitely.'

'Or I'll have to teach you a real lesson.' She smiled just before leaving that palace and heading toward the church headquarters for this region.

'Well, since I'm here with nothing to do, I'll take the opportunity to clean this place up.'

'Now that the war is about to end and the Black Plain will become my partner, there is no point in keeping the corrupt people of this place!' Her eyes brightly shone as she remembered how many local Bishops had made bad decisions due to personal interests.

Such actions had not damaged the Church but had not helped either. On the other hand, the Church could have moved much closer to Minos and directed the previously serene situation into something more peaceful than what developed in the region.

And that could have accelerated the Church's gains from that deal that Minos seemed willing to make with her.

Thinking about it, this woman was highly disappointed with the local members of her organization!
