Chapter 286: I Choose All of Them

Faced with the unwavering and demanding question from the girls cornering him in the cold hallway of the new castle, Ryan let out a long, heavy sigh laden with evident annoyance.

Being the new ruler of the north came with far too many political problems, but dealing with his own tactical squad at bedtime seemed like an even more exhausting battle.

However, as he swept his gaze over each of their expectant faces, Ryan thought to himself that, after almost being torn apart by a demon king, it was not bad at all to relax a little now that he finally could.

That thought crossed his mind just as his gaze stopped on the wind dragoness’s figure, who was standing to the side of the argument.

"Lise," Ryan uttered with a firm and authoritative tone of voice, breaking the hallway’s chaos.

The wind dragoness widened her two-toned eyes, and an intoxicating smile formed on her lips.

"My young master, did you really choose me?" Lise asked, hugging herself as an overwhelming expression of pure lust spread across her face.

Faced with that quick and unexpected action, the entire hallway suddenly erupted. All the girls in the group thought he had actually chosen the perverted dragoness over them, and they began to hurl their intense complaints without any filter.

"Have you lost your mind?!" Helen reproached, taking a threatening step forward. "Are you going to choose a damn perverted lizard over us? She just arrived!"

"This is completely unacceptable, Ryan," Mirian added, frowning with clear indignation. "We have been by your side since the beginning, you cannot give privileges to someone we do not even trust yet."

"How disgusting," Beatrice complained, crossing her arms and looking at the dragoness with pure disdain. "Do you really prefer to spend the night with someone who has that mentally ill look?"

"Is it because she is the only one of us you have not touched?" Irina questioned, puffing out her cheeks in annoyance. "Or is her strange lust affecting you?"

Alicia, twitching her wolf ears very nervously, tried to calm the waters. "G-girls, please, do not get mad at him. Surely His Majesty has an immense and profound reason for choosing her first! Right?"

Amidst all the chaos and jealous complaints, Karol simply crossed her arms with a mischievous smile. "Well, if the problem is that she is very insistent, I have no problem joining you two."

"Silence," Ryan suddenly ordered, raising his voice with an authority that brooked no argument.

He completely ignored all the girls’ unfounded complaints and comments, keeping his sights fixed solely on the wind dragoness.

"Lise, what are you supposed to be doing here wasting time?" Ryan questioned coldly. "Go guard the entire perimeter of the territory right now. It is an order."

The dragoness’s illusion shattered into a thousand pieces.

"But young master, do not be so cruel to me," Lise pleaded, making an exaggerated pout. "I also want to sleep with you tonight to taste your delicious energy."

"Do your job first," he ordered sharply, pointing at the large window that overlooked the dark, snowy night.

Upon hearing those strict words, Lise’s mind took a drastic turn. She took it with immense excitement, blindly thinking that what Ryan actually meant was that when she quickly finished her patrol duty, then she could finally be alone with him in bed.

"As you command, my beloved king! I will return in a flash!" Lise yelled, jumping out the window and retreating at top speed toward the dark skies.

Karol watched the trail of light disappear into the distance and shook her head. "Now I really feel very sorry for her. That poor girl did not understand anything."

Without saying a single word more, Ryan turned around and walked calmly to the enormous double wooden doors leading to his luxurious main chambers.

But the girls were not done with him.

"Ryan, do not try to ignore us by escaping the situation!" Helen demanded, following him closely. "You still have not chosen who you are going to sleep with."

’As if I were going to choose just one,’ Ryan thought to himself, stopping right in the frame of the immense bedroom door. ’After all, if they themselves insist with so much fervor and stubbornness, then they will have to endure much more than they imagine.’

Ryan slowly turned toward them.

"What, is it not too obvious?" Ryan said, looking at all of them. "All of you will come with me."

"Eh?"

The sound of surprise was completely unanimous. All the girls froze in place, blinking in disbelief at their leader’s unexpected and direct answer.

"No ’eh’ about it," he said, and a clear, dark, and malicious smile formed on his lips.

"Karol," Ryan said, giving her the final signal.

The blue-haired mage, perfectly understanding her leader’s lustful intentions, did not hesitate for a second. With a knowing smile, Karol snapped her fingers, channeling her magic.

Immediately, the bodies of Helen, Beatrice, Mirian, Irina, and Alicia began to float in the air, completely losing control over gravity.

The girls erupted into complaints, squeaks of surprise, and useless kicking while Karol guided them through the air, taking them straight into the immense main bedroom and dropping them suddenly onto the enormous, soft mattress of Ryan’s new bed.

’It is time to release all the accumulated pressure from this damn war. Tomorrow I will figure out what the hell to do with the politics in this territory,’ Ryan thought with absolute resolve.

Without wasting another second, he locked the double doors behind his back and began to take off his combat attire. The thick fabric fell to the wooden floor, revealing his well-built frame and taut, sculpted muscles that left no doubt about his rank.

Silence fell suddenly, and to the surprise of all the girls, Ryan smiled with a slight tone of malice on his face.

Seeing Ryan’s overwhelming and dominant figure advancing toward the bed, Karol’s face showed such a level of perversion and expectation that a bit of shiny drool slipped from the corner of her mouth.

And Helen, despite her tough and defiant attitude from moments earlier, swallowed hard, feeling her heart race upon seeing Ryan so determined to devour them all.
