The Rise of the Black Plain



After all these years, Minos' touch had still been the one that had stirred Misty the most, even though she had become Ambrose Snow's wife and had even already conceived the birth of two heirs to that man.

Unfortunately for her, the years living in Snow's area had taken her away from Minos, and the few times she had been with him sexually were many years old.

Seeing him as she passed through that area to do business, she couldn't help but feel part of herself longing for that man, getting wet even as she felt fear of that creature's corpse.

But even with such feelings, her excitement was so much more, as she was confident that that beast had been killed by that man who had already dominated her in bed more than a dozen times.

She continued to watch him from afar and squeezed her thighs with her hands but without the courage to approach.

Misty had been an enemy of Minos in the past, not a friend who could casually approach him whenever she wanted. As such, without him calling her, she would not go to him, even though she wanted him so badly.

As she thought about him, about how she would touch herself later thinking about her sovereign, Minos had noticed the presence of everyone in the vicinity but had not bothered.

After a few minutes of work alongside Ruth and Isabella, they finished burying the corpse of that beast.

"All right, don't mess with this area. In a few years, you will notice the results of this action.

Notify me of the development of this." He said as he looked at Diana and Raymond, preparing to leave.

...

A few days later...

After Minos and those two women returned to Dry City, it wasn't long before Sista's group sought him out to talk about their queen's decision.

After days in this city, they finally had an answer to their previous conversations.

Queen Sista already knew about Maximillian's situation and that this man would side with the Spiritual Church. At the same time, she had Minos' answers and his potential in mind.

With all this, she had concluded that there was only one way forward now!

"Your Majesty Minos Stuart, my mother has decided to continue our partnership for now." The Third Prince of Sista informed Minos with a smiling expression on his face. "We will reassess this in 10 years, so until then, we can exchange information and move forward with what had been previously talked about."

"Oh?" Minos smiled, noting that his daughter was right.

Queen Sista had decided not to stand against him nor to be with him permanently without knowing more about the future.

Minos saw no problem with that and said. "That's good. I hope we can work well together in the next decade."

"Hmmm."

"For the rest, I am sure we will renew our vows in another ten years."

The prince said nothing more, and after some of his bodyguards informed him of some details of what would happen from now on, they departed.

From now on, they would stay in Sista indefinitely, waiting for the chaotic times approaching in their western region!

With their departure, Minos had all recent matters settled, and now it remained for the Flowers Kingdom group to come to his state to confirm his agreements with the Spiritual Sages, who were relatives of the Goddess of Life, for him to continue developing amidst his temporary peace.

As he stood alone in his throne room, Minos had a serious look on his face as he sat in the most important position in the area.

'That is the peace that comes before a great storm... After that period, I am sure that the threat that Henricus Longus expected will hit us!'

"I hope to be ready when that time comes!"

...

Another week passed...

While the Black Plain Empire was experiencing its best time in many years, with peace, little pressure on the local forces, and plenty of room to grow, a group from the Flowers Kingdom reached that state.

This group was led by one of Minos' rivals from years ago, his second opponent in that kingdom, whom he had defeated to free his grandfather.

Bridget Mcbride!

Currently, the third in the line of succession of the Flowers Kingdom was at level 80, having advanced a stage after the years that had passed since Minos' departure.

Upon hearing about Minos' request, she departed from her state alongside the spiritual judge who would confirm the agreement of Minos and the Spiritual Sages descended from the relatives of the Goddess of Life.

She had not weakened after her terrifying defeat of him. On the contrary, she had overcome that and used such a thing to make herself even stronger, having achieved two breakthroughs in these few years.

Upon arriving in the capital of the Black Plain Empire, she didn't bother to get to know the place and was soon standing in front of Minos, seeing this former opponent.

"Minos, you have become more handsome, haha. Too bad I couldn't acquire your genes." She said while massaging her big belly.

Minos was standing next to Abby at the moment, and they both looked with narrowed eyes at that belly.

"You're pregnant, huh?" He said in a low voice. "Poor fellow..."

"Tsk! He was fortunate to pass on his genes to me, Minos. Our daughter will be a great warrior." She said, not bothered by the looks on these people's faces. "Unfortunately, he died after our ceremony..."

"It's a shame..." Minos commented before changing the subject. "Anyway, thank you for bringing a grade-4 spiritual judge with you. That will help me a lot."

"Hmm, about that, my mother has some questions for you." Bridget became more serious. "Your sudden alliance with Maximillian Flamen has shocked us quite a bit. Can you explain to us what your relationship is with him? Do you know of his interests?"

"I can't speak for him. But I imagine that his plans are dangerous for those opposed to him. So I advise you not to stand against senior Maximillian. 

But none of this has anything to do with me. Our relationship comes down to the protection my state will have from him and how I freed him."

"Freed him?"

"Hmm, well, I guess there's no point in hiding it. Soon everyone will find that out, so I'll tell you, as long as you don't go off talking about it." He said, then seeing Bridget indicate that she would keep this information to those high up in her family.

"I released him from the Seraphim Ancient Sarcophagus. He is Maximillian Flamen, Pope Maximus' rival."
