Zou and Ashley

While Aria was heading towards the castle after Han teleported everyone to Quinn's house.

Han was looking at the basement that contained the 20 unconscious servants.

Luckily his mansion was big enough to fit everyone and since Robert's events the house was empty.

Han woke them all up before ordering them to stay in the back, then he would show them around the house and put everyone in basically the same role they did in his mother's house, but for now they needed to hide to avoid any possibility of discovery.

Not that it would make a difference if they were discovered or not, but Han would have a hard time explaining how they got to the capital, how so many people got in without being noticed.

He then turned to his mother who had gone to bed in her room, she hadn't felt well since she heard what old Zou did and what James was about to do.

Lying on the bed, she cried softly, remembering how close her family was when they were all children, but now each one was in their own corner and pointing at the other's neck.

James wanted to attack the family. Old Zou had abandoned her without any protection and went in search of power. Her daughter had not shown up for a long time and had communicated with her very few times, only through letters.

The only one who was always by her side was Han.

And Xunwei at this moment... He was kneeling beside the bed while handing her small tissues to dry her eyes.

Seeing Han enter, Charlotte looked at him.

"Son, do you really think your brother wants to do this? And do you believe that your father really killed the prince?"

Looking at his mother's sad appearance, Han's heart softened.

He sat down next to her on the bed.

"I believe it's true, mother. The army appearing near our house confirms it. But I don't believe that James would attack us just for that reason. Maybe there's something more to this story that we don't know about.''

(Note: The letter Han received only explained the part where the old man killed the crown prince and then James was on his way. The rest was the narrator, me, talking about what happened. It may have been confusing)

Charlotte remained silent and believed. She looked at Han with hopeful eyes, waiting for him to resolve the situation.

She was stronger than him, at this moment Charlotte was almost at the top of her power. She was level 18. Only 4 levels below Charles, who at this moment is considered one of the strongest men in this world.

This was the horror of the red stones. Han massacred families between the two kingdoms and in a short time Charlotte grew to such a level. If he dedicated himself to killing, he could easily make her as strong as Charles, or even stronger than him.

Of course, level is different from power. Charlotte knew little or nothing about fighting and could easily be dominated by someone lower in level than her.

Han needed to find a way to marry Charlotte so that she could also enter the system list and then Han would pass on skills and learning to her. 

Staring at his mother's gaze, who was waiting for a solution from him, Han let out a sigh.

''Don't worry, mother, my plan was already to find out what's going on. I came here precisely to tell you that I'm heading towards the kingdom of Berovia to understand everything that happened. I'll also take the opportunity to look for father.''

A smile appeared on Charlotte's mouth, she stood up, hugged Han and gave him a few kisses on the cheek. 

''Thank you son, I can only count on you.''

Xunwei at the side felt jealous when he saw the scene, but he didn't dare show it. He knelt down waiting for an order. A scene that anyone who knew him wouldn't believe what they were seeing.

Han then stood up, quickly freeing himself from his mother's embrace and then headed towards Berovia.

This time he really needed to accomplish this mission. For the sake of his family and most importantly, for the sake of his dick.

Invisibly, he quickly set off towards the kingdom of Berovia. First he teleported to his house, which was already close to the capital, and then he flew towards it.

He arrived at the capital in the morning.

Just like in the Yuxuan Kingdom, no one noticed that he was invisible and there was no barrier that prevented him from doing as he wanted.

He could see that, just like in the Quinn Kingdom, the common people were anxious.

War affects mainly those who are poorer and without social class. Many of the soldiers sent were family men, beloved sons, loving husbands and many of them will not return home.

Even in the morning, the capital exuded a certain silence and solitude.

But of course, this was limited to the outside; the further you went to the center of the capital, the busier it became. It was the part where the rich stayed, most of the royalty.

While war for some was a misfortune, for these people it was an opportunity.

It was not uncommon to hear someone already celebrating the victory and choosing how they would divide the land of the Quinn Kingdom. They saw war as a business.

Han quickly spotted a huge castle and entered without any difficulty.

He had already come here on one of the occasions when the emperor wanted to assess whether he really did not have any kind of talent.

Now he was returning, and Han was sure that no one in this world had a talent as good as his. Well, he couldn't do anything if his talent was called a system. 

Han then entered the castle where ministers, dukes, and generals had an audience with the Emperor of Berovia.

The emperor, sitting on his throne adorned with what legend said were dragon bones, listened to the reports of his generals.

"Your Majesty, the troops are already heading towards Quinn's border," announced a general in black armor, his helmet adorned with horns. "James Vogen leads the first battalion, as ordered. The rest follow in formation." The emperor replied, "Send someone to observe his every move. I want to know if his loyalty truly lies with us. If he shows any kind of treason, I want him crippled and handed over to me. If he resists, you may kill him on the spot." Understood, Your Majesty. The black-armored general spoke before kneeling in respect and then departing. 

The emperor of Berovia, a man with cold eyes and scars that cut across his face like war maps, waved his hand. "What about the red stones? Has anyone brought news?" 

A warrior of colossal stature, whose muscles seemed to be carved from steel, bowed. "No trace, your majesty. The last one was used by that treacherous old man, Zou. He disappeared like a mouse after killing the prince. And rumor has it that Robert of the Quinn Kingdom may possess one, but it is lost among the Yuxuan Kingdom as well. The exact location is unknown." 

The emperor clenched his fists, and for an instant, Han saw the raw hatred in his eyes. "Find her. Without her, this war will be a joke." The court dispersed with a royal nod, and Han followed the emperor through the labyrinthine corridors of the castle, passing by guards as static as statues. The royal room was a den of dark luxury: paintings depicting bloody battles, ancient swords crossed over the fireplace, and a wide bed with black velvet sheets. 

It was then that the unexpected happened.

The emperor stopped in front of a painting hidden behind a silk curtain. With almost reverent gestures, he pulled the rope, revealing a portrait of a young woman with black hair and, most importantly, breasts as big as a head.

Han recognized them immediately; he had seen them the first time he opened his eyes in this world and had also spent a good part of his life suckling. It was a picture of his mother, Charlotte.

"You will be mine, bitch," the emperor whispered, his fingers trembling with hatred and desire. "Zou stole you from me, but I will have you. I will fuck you until you break, in front of that pathetic old man. He will watch as I wring every moan out of you…"

Han had to stifle a laugh. It was funny to think that Charlotte, who now gave herself easily to other men, had been the object of an emperor's desire.

The emperor leaned back in the bed, still staring at the picture. "And when you are pregnant with my child, Zou… oh, I will cut out your tongue so that you cannot even scream."

Han watched the scene with growing amusement. If only the emperor knew that Charlotte would probably love the idea… that she already fantasized about being fucked in front of her husband…

Han watched for a few more minutes but didn't find anything that involved his brother. Apart from his name being mentioned in the meeting, the emperor didn't say anything else.

He now had another problem, he needed to find his father and he had no idea how to do it. He only had one path to try

'System, if I need to locate my father, could you do it?'

'As long as the host is willing to pay with points, yes, I can.'

'Great, how much would it cost to find my father?'

'............'

The system was silent for a while as if it was doing a search.

'100 points.'

'Huh? So low? 100 points is nothing. Go ahead and take it.'

Then Han felt a map appear in his mind and then two points appeared, one indicating him and the other his father.

'System, is this right? Are you sure this is the location?'

'Yes. There is no mistake.'

Han frowned.

The location pointed to the capital and it was actually not very far from Han. He could reach it in less than 5 minutes.

'Well, I'll find out when I get there.''

Han then headed towards the point. It was in the back of the castle. Security was very high, but it meant nothing to Han.

As he got closer, he realized that it was an open space in the back of the castle where there were dozens of towers.

From the conversation of the soldiers guarding the tower, he understood that this was where the emperor's concubines lived.

Each tower represented a woman, and Han could count almost a hundred towers.

The system indicated that Han's father was in one of these towers. With a heavy heart and remembering the femboy pill, Han quickened his pace, afraid of what could have happened to his father.

Luckily, he was wrong. When he reached a tower, he could hear moans.

He knew it couldn't be the emperor's because the emperor was in his room.

While he was thinking, a moan cleared his doubt.

''That's it, Zou, fuck me good, come on''

Han was paralyzed when he heard the intense moans coming from the room. Through the half-open door, he saw his father, old Zou, thrusting hard into the black-haired concubine who was on all fours on the bed.

"Fuck, your pussy is so soaked," Zou grunted, holding her waist tightly as he thrust without stopping. "The emperor doesn't fuck you like that, you little slut?"

The concubine moaned loudly, grinding against the thick cock that penetrated her. "No... no one fucks me good like you... Harder, please!"

Zou increased the pace of his thrusts even more, making her breasts swing violently. "I'm going to break that delicious ass too," he said, spitting on her anus and forcing two fingers inside.

"Oh yes, tear me all over!" she screamed in ecstasy when she felt his cock sliding into her already lubricated ass. "Put it hard, I want to feel it tomorrow!"

The old man wasted no time, pounding her tight ass without mercy while she writhed in pleasure. "Take it you bitch, grind on that cock"

The concubine came violently, her body shaking as she screamed obscenities. Zou kept fucking her until she passed out from so much pleasure.

"Fuck, I'm going to cum!" he roared, pulling out his cock and spurting several jets of cum on her back.

Seeing that the woman was asleep, Han entered the room

Old Zou was startled, he didn't feel any presence but when he turned around he didn't see anyone either

Until a voice sounded from a table.

"Is life really good here, Dad?"

When Zou turned around, Han was sitting at a table eating grapes he found.

Zou didn't answer, he rubbed his eyes thinking he was seeing mirages. It didn't make any sense for his son to be here.

"Don't worry, Dad, I'm real. You weren't the only one who got stronger recently."

Understanding the meaning of the words, old Zou showed strangeness towards his son. Han had always been a disappointment, and he thought he wasn't his son. It was impossible for a renowned hero to be the father of such a useless child.

Knowing that somehow his son had some kind of power, he found it hard to believe.

With a smile, he sat at the table.

"Let's have a proper talk, son."

"Yes, Dad, you have a lot to explain. Starting with why you're hiding here. Don't you know that James is going to attack the Quinn Kingdom because of you? Mom is furious and was crying too. If she knows where you are... Things wouldn't look good''

A vein appeared on the old zou's forehead.

''You scoundrel, you shouldn't tell your mother anything about this. What about your brother? That boy got the princess of the kingdom pregnant and the emperor threatened him with it. And you? How did you get here? My strength may still be rusty but my instincts are strong, I didn't feel any presence''

Han then explained how the ''gods'' had rewarded him with powers. The old zou believed it, just what happened to him was proof that this was possible.

''Father, there's something I don't understand. Why hide? And why here? I'm sure you can easily fight anyone''

''You're right, I can fight, but I'm not the only one who has grown stronger.

The kingdom of Berovia is very calm when attacking Quinn, I suspect they have some secret. Besides, I still can't fully control my power, in a fight I would be at a disadvantage. I decided to hide here because no one would look for me here. Who would have thought that a powerful enemy would hide in the concubines?''

Han stopped to think and agreed. He himself didn't believe it, even though the system indicated it. A normal person would hardly think that this would be possible.

''Let's go back home. Mother is anxious.''

Zou made a negative sign

''What do you mean, go back home? The distance is long and it would be easy to be discovered if I tried to leave the castle. Getting in was very difficult. Besides, I need a few more days to get used to the power.''

I understand the situation Han nodded

''Okay, then we can leave when you're ready. And don't worry, one of the powers the gods gave me was teleportation. I can easily go to other places regardless of the distance. I can instantly take you to my home in the Quinn kingdom. Mother is there. After James surrounded our house, I left it safe.''

Zou heard this and felt ashamed. He had put his wife in danger and in the end she was saved thanks to his useless son. He didn't want to talk about this matter.

"Okay son, you come back tomorrow. Look, she's about to wake up."

The concubine began to move, showing signs of waking up.

When Zou turned to hurry Han, he had already disappeared. He now had a goal. He needed to find this woman named Ashley, after all, she was also part of the mission. He left the concubines' area and began to search with attentive ears to see if he could find anything. 

When he passed an area near a kitchen, he heard two maids walking around with dishes in their hands.

''Don't forget, all must be delivered to Princess Ashley quickly, she likes her food hot and fresh.''

The maid then walked quickly through the castle until she came across a room with a huge golden door, very similar to the one in the emperor's room.

''Princess, this humble servant has brought your meal.''

A young and harmonious voice came from inside.

''Come in.''

The maid and Han quickly entered.

Inside was Ashley, the most beautiful princess in the kingdom of Berovia. The princess had straight black hair, a thin nose, brown eyes and most importantly, a slightly large belly indicating that she was already a few months pregnant. 

The maid left the food and quickly left, leaving Ashley alone.

She felt sick. She looked at the food, smelled it and put it aside, she didn't feel like eating at that time. Ever since James left for the war, she hadn't been able to eat. She was always worried about his safety and how he might be. 

Looking at the window she murmured

''James, I hope your journey is safe and that you return unharmed.''

At this moment Han revealed himself

''Don't worry sister-in-law, no one will hurt my brother. He will return safely.''

Ashley's eyes widened and she quickly looked to the side, there was Han eating the food that should have been hers.

She was shocked, not without knowing what was happening, and tried to understand what Han had said. Sister-in-law? Brother?

Thinking about James' origins she seemed to have an answer.

''Would you be... Han Vogen? James' brother?''

''Bingo princess, it's me. Nice to meet you. Unfortunately, I don't have a suitable gift for our first meeting at the moment. I'll owe you one.''

Ignoring his joke, she asked directly.

''How did you get in here and what do you want? Didn't they say you were useless?''

Without feeling offended by what the princess said, Han continued to eat. The food at Berovia's palace was really different and he was enjoying it.

The room was tense for a few minutes while the princess watched Han eat everything.

Finishing, he replied.

''I don't pose any threat to you. I would never hurt someone who carries the blood of our family. And in fact, what they said was right. I was useless, but since the event of the red stones happened, I was also able to become stronger.''

Understanding, she agreed. She didn't feel any kind of threat coming from him. ''But what do you want here? Don't think about kidnapping me to stop James.''

''Princess, I already told you that I'm not here to hurt you. James is my brother and you are now part of the family. And I'm here precisely because of him. My father started this war and caused the separation of our family, now he's missing and my brother is pointing swords at us. I came to try to resolve the situation.''

The princess then replied.

''This situation has only one solution: Either our kingdom dies or your father surrenders. The emperor is very furious with the death of the crown prince. My brother was the most talented among the princes and everyone had high hopes for him. Dying at the hands of your father completely enraged my father. I don't see a way for this war to end without someone in your family having to suffer.''

Han agreed with every word. From what little he had investigated, the emperor of Berovia wanted not only the death of the old zou but also his humiliation.

''Yes, princess, you are right. But I will still achieve a different result. You can count on that. What I can tell you for now is that my brother will be safe. And one of the reasons I came here is precisely safety.''

A necklace then magically appeared in Han's hand, surprising the princess who believed in him even more.

''This necklace here is a very rare item. It ensures that you can be protected against fatal blows. I'm afraid that Emperor Charles will send people to attack you, after all, if you die, my brother may revolt against the King of Berovia and may even be killed by the soldiers of the battalion. Use this and I can rest assured that my sister-in-law will be safe. Emperor Charles is my father-in-law, but unfortunately I don't have any kind of power in the castle and I can't guarantee that you won't be attacked.''

Han threw the necklace to Ashley who caught it. She looked at the beautiful green necklace and didn't feel any kind of danger. Thinking about how she could be attacked and how James could die, she quickly put it on her neck and, in fact, after putting it on, she felt something wrapping around her, making her feel warm, like a feeling of protection.

''Did you feel that, princess? It's the protection of the necklace. Always keep it with you and if anything happens, you'll be safe.''

Everything Han said was nonsense. Aria already had good control over Charles and it would be impossible for him to send someone to attack Ashley. And what about the necklace? It was a necklace of lust. Its effect is to make the wearer and the people around him slowly become more lustful. It wouldn't control the mind in an extreme way similar to what happened with Charles or at the party event, but it would subtly cause some barriers to be broken. The system didn't consider it as breaking the mission, so Han decided to use it.

Since Ashley was also on the missions, Han needed to somehow corrupt her and that was the first step. As she wore the necklace, day after day she would become hornier, until the moment she gave in and then revealed some hidden desire she had. After that she would start to accept such desire naturally.

Feeling the "protection" of the necklace, Ashley smiled, feeling safe.

"Thank you brother-in-law, now I can rest easier. But I wish James was wearing this necklace. Can't you give it to him instead of me?"

Thinking about James wearing this necklace, in the middle of an army composed only of men, Han felt goosebumps all over his body. "Don't worry princess, I have things prepared for my brother too. He won't be left defenseless." 

Han and Ashley then talked, reinforcing their family friendship. She told about how she grew up admiring James, training to be a knight and then beating everyone at the same age as him. She told about how they fell in love after being paired up at an annual royal hunting event. She even told about the first time they had sex. Han noticed that the necklace was already taking effect. 

Han also shared some stories from when he traveled all over the continent and also stories of him and Aria, about the first time he met Aria and was attacked, how despite being useless he conquered the most beautiful girl in the kingdom, Quinn, and how they got married. 

Han only left when it was night and Ashley was sleepy.

Before Han left, the princess asked him to return another day to tell more stories and also asked him to protect James.

Han then said goodbye and returned to his home in the Quinn Kingdom.
