Chapter 32 : The King's Messenger

Chapter 32 : The King's Messenger

2 Years Later

It's been 2 years since we had to deal with the indirect invasion of the East Empire via the Masters Corporation. We've had no direct contact with management. When I say direct I mean they used some of our staff from time to time. When we see strange behavior we investigate. 

For example when one of the young maids stopped showing up for work, The head maid went and found her secluding herself in their house in town. She simply refused to leave even under threat of losing her Job. 

When the head maid pressed her for a reason, she told her to summon me. She left but passed the information up the chain anyways. When It reached me through Felmina. I went to go see her. 

As it turns out management was involved. She presented me with a bottle of expensive whiskey. She said Management told her to give this to me, I'll be drinking some sometime in the next 6 months. 

I may only open this bottle when a direct request for it is made of me for the whiskey by name "Jonas Brothers Whiskey 15 Years". She then revealed that she can return to work in 2 days time, otherwise her mother would be hospitalized and not recover.

I got my first Level down Notification. I figured out that I need to maintain my Level. I noticed a significant increase in my appetite since I went to Level 205, well 204 now. My Level up notifications are gone obviously. I need to get some Levelups to keep incase of Emergency. So here's how I went about doing just that.

Me and my wives started training together 3 days a week, we went running, weightlifting, combat training including sword and hand to hand combat. We even took on some monster slaying missions to raise their level. They are both now around Level 150.

In addition to this I started dragging heavy concrete slabs around. My Laboratory is finished, I run experiments and do my research there. My Schedule is getting full.

I've also had them minimize their levelup notifications alerting from level 90. They now keep count of it manually same as me. It really helps you out in a pinch. We 3 are closer than ever. 

We decided to replace half the crops with MP, HP and SP flowers and used my harvesting methods to produce the potions. The workers all pull long faces when HP harvest time comes around. They hate being poisoned.

My Level is back to about 300 now. I feel noticeably lighter. As far as I understand it my body developed muscles to carry around plusminus 300Kg, but since I am currently level 205 I weigh only 205Kg. So I am faster too almost half the speed I was during my stay at the Shadowfall kingdom's palace in their capital City 'Vincent' which I only found out the other day.

My strength can be explained by using something I remember from earth. If a heavyweight and a featherweight boxer fight. The Heavyweight does way more damage, provided he can hit the featherweight. Or Like Imagine you get hit by a speeding truck, you would most likely die from the impact. But what if the Truck only weighed 10Kg instead of a 1000Kg. 

You see, It's like that.

Within 6 months the potion factory was up and running. When we started exporting to the East Empire, a whole gang of delinquents showed up, there must have been like 200 of them. They demanded to see the Lord of the region. 

They called me out by name. When I arrived Cindy and David was there to greet me. They pledged their undying loyalty to me and asked for work. Some of the guys from their gang was not impressed with this. In short they challenged me. 

David did told me he would stop them if he could, however these guys only speak violence, and the strong will rule. He also said 'Make an Example of one to warn a hundred'. 

That's exactly what I did. That first guy got knocked out in 5 seconds flat. I had to hold back a lot. In the end I just hit him in the jaw sending the shock directly to his brain. 

I decided to have them be used as security for my trade wagons heading for the East Empire. When I had Felmina come with me the next day in order to divide up the forces, some of the women started taking shit about her indirectly. One of them looked like she was about to say something when Felmina gave her this glare. 

If she looked like that at a canary It would surely die, probably. 

There were no issues with labor after that. Felmina also told them to recruit strong people from the empire. She said we'll need them soon. We where busy building a road for the wagons to the East Empire, but construction was hella slow. 

Roka started construction for the sewer system for the town, she also sent word to the Shadowfall kingdom for magicians especially the earth type.

I've made some discoveries by talking to some business owners in town. The Magic cores collected from monsters are left in MP Potions overnight, they absorb it until they reach capacity. Then they are dried and crushed into a fine powder which is then mixed with a sort of ink. This is what is used to create magic circles like the one for anti-gravity and the encryption. The one on my hand is imprinted using the same technique as the Loyalty Seal. 

It also uses this magic ink. It pulls into the skin like a tatoo. I wonder how it works. I'll Investigate.

I've recently started having tailors make me a few stretchy fabric long sleeved long legged clothing. I turned those inside out and made a gravity suit by stamping the Gravity increase seal onto it, you know for training. I'm tired of pulling slabs all day. I then connected the circles and tested it out. It failed miserably I couldn't get it to activate. I'll put this project on hold for now.

I'm off today, Felmina's off managing the town or something, and Roka is busy on site.

The head butler Sebastian comes walking up to me, I'm in the living room having a meal.

"Awfully sorry to disturb you sir"

I look up

"Yes?"

"There is a messenger here from king Raymond"

"Send him in"

"As you wish sir."

He bows gracefully, and leaves. I can't hear his footsteps. Do all butlers get like ninja stealth training or something?

"Lord Kaijuu"

I Jump.

It's Sebastian. He's behind me. I really hate it when he does that. Curse those stealth skills of his.

I look behind me. He hands me a sealed letter that reads.

"To Kaijuu Ryu-sama, Kaijuu Roka-sama and Kaijuu Felmina-sama from King Raymond Shadow-Wolf.

URGENT"

Shadow-Wolf that's such a cool surname, I had no idea. Wait that's beside the point.

"Fetch my wives"

"Immediately Sir"

I look at the letter again, then behind me, he's gone. He's like Batman, how does he do that?

They arrive within the hour.

We open the letter together.

[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------]

Dear Kaijuu Family

I'll be arriving in a week, we need to talk.

Sincerely

King Raymond Shadow-Wolf

Shadowfall Kingdom.

[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------]

"1 week?"

Roka sounds puzzled

"He said 1 week, didn't he?"

I confirm

"That's not enough time, what the hell are we gonna do."

Felmina grabs her head and starts to panic, Roka follows.

They both start running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Their arms are stretched out in front of them as they go crazy, running around.

"Stop for a second, what's the big deal?"

They both freeze

""You don't know""

Their voices overlap. They both kneel down and grab their heads, mumbling. I walk over to Roka.

I touch her shoulder, she jumps. she wants to run away. I grab her.

I drag her to Felmina.

"Sit down you too, and tell me"

Felmina snaps out of it. they both kneel on the floor, I'm standing

"NOW TALK!"

""YES!!""

Roka looks up first.

"Children"

"What children?"

Felmina reaches out grabs my pantleg and looks up at me.

"He's gonna wanna know why we don't have any children yet"

Roka grabs and hugs Felmina.

"And we don't know what to tell him."

I think a bit. They both give me puppydog eyes like they expect me to have all the answers. 

I don't. Let's try reassuring them at least.

I hold out both my hands to them and help them up.

"Kids huh. I think that if it's meant to be, It'll happen. I mean it's not like we haven't been trying."

They both blush, it's soooo cute.

I pull them both close hug them and whisper.

"We can try again tonight if you want."

I can feel them start to squirm a bit, but my grip is too strong. 

They give up and melt into me. I let go.

"Now you two, get back to work. It's still my day off"

""Yes""

The Next Day

Mid Afternoon

Laboratory underneath the mansion

"Lord Kaijuu"

I jump. Damn it Sebastian!. Lucky for you I wasn't handling anything dangerous.

"What is it?"

"The King has arrived sir."

"Wait what?"
