And...

After Damian put the communication lacrima back in his storage, he landed in the area destroyed by his Etherion and placed his hand on the ground to take a feel of the ethernano amount in the area.

As soon as he tried to sense the ethernano, his whole body twitched and his expression turned to that of surprise.

"How the hell does this land have even more ethernano than the one fired by me in that attack?"

Damian stood up and then walked to an area which was not damaged by his Etherion and did the same process once again.

"Hmmm, the ethernano amount has increased here as well, though only a bit....but still this land is going to be way to fertile if it is able to maintain this much amount permanently."

He then remained silent and thought for a while, and after a bit smacked his fist on top of his palm and said, "Alright. Let's charge up all the depleted lacrima that I have in my storage. " And the took out a huge circular machine from his storage.

Seeing the machine that appeared in front of him, Damian immediately started setting it up and connecting it to the ground.

He then opened the top lid of the machine and then dropped all the empty lacrima from his storage inside of it. Once the setup was complete he used his enchantments to change the flow of magic in the ground towards the machine's socket and then once again placed his hands on the ground to check how the magic in the ground was reacting.

Seeming satisfied with the result, Damian nodded his head with a smile on his face and thought, 'This land surely has become one of the best spots to open a factory or something. With the current amount of magic in the ground even a medium sized factory would have no problems.'

".....Should I fire an Etherion over the kingdom to make it a more productive land?"

--------------------

While Damian was busy with checking out the land and thinking of making his kingdom more productive, the officials back in Dragonof were very busy with the sudden increase in their work because of result of the war.

Even the servants were not spared from the ruckus in the castle as many officials from the anti Dragonof alliance were coming there on a daily basis to negotiate.

Irene who was talking with Damian just a few minutes ago sighed and kept her communication lacrima in a pouch which was hanging by her waist.

She then looked down at her table with a frown on her face and then banged her fist on the table with a bit of anger.

"How many more bundles are still left to deal with?!" and glared at the stacks of paper on her desk.

She then leaned back on her chair and said, "Zena, would you please brew me a cup of tea?"

Zena who was standing behind Irene and arranging the bundle of papers that just came sighed and nodded her head. She was getting rather annoyed arranging the documents and felt a bit happy when Irene asked her to brew the cup of tea.

She left the room in hurry but just as she closed the door her pace slowed down and she started walking towards the kitchen at a slow pace. "Hmm, half an hour of a break should be fine, I guess. I will just take my time to go to the kitchen and brew the tea slowly and affectionately for the queen. I should not rush and take it slow." and continued to walk towards the kitchen while deliberately taking the longer path.

Irene who was well aware of what Zena was going to do got up from her chair and the laid down on her bed with her arms and legs spread out.

"I am totally exhausted, why can't those people just go with the alliance, and stop making it more troublesome for me."

She then massaged her temples and took a deep breath, trying to relieve a bit of her stress.

She then looked around her room with a tired expression on her face, but while she was doing that her gaze suddenly came to a stop when it landed on a cabinet. She widened her eyes a bit and after a while a slight blush appeared on her cheeks.

Her body fidgeted a bit and she immediately looked around with a surprised expression on her face checking whether anyone was there or not. She also made sure to check if someone was peeping at her with some kind of magic, and after making sure that no one was there, some magic circles appeared in front of her hands and various enchantments were placed all over the room.

She then got up from the bed with a blush on her cheeks and walked towards the cabinet. Once she was in front of it, she stood still for a while and once again looked around.

An audible gulp was heard a bit later and the sound of her opening the cabinet proceed it.

Once it was opened a large amount of magic circles appeared in front of it which were blocking the view of what was inside it. The number of enchantments that Irene placed there would make even Damian widen his eyes in shock. She once again got motionless and started hesitating a bit, but soon she clenched her teeth and removed the enchantments placed on the cabinet and the items inside it were revealed.

Inside the cabinet were various kind of items that Damian had gifted Irene while he was away along with some other things.

Amongst all those, Irene took out some kind of cloth, a shirt, or more accurately a shirt that would usually be worn by males.

At a simple glance one might think that the shirt was something simple or by looking at its design, it looked like something that a commoner would wear.

But to Irene it was not just a simple shirt, it was a shirt that was used by Damian, and Zena had brought to Irene without even cleaning it.

Irene still remembers the day when Zena handed her the shirt with a huge smile on her face while also telling her how should she use it and even though she was embarrassed about what Zena told her, she still put a lot of enchantments on the shirt, so as to not let it's condition deteriorate. She might or might not have also put an enchantment to prevent it from losing its scent.

She stared at it for a while and then burried her face in it and....
