My interracial harem of beautiful queens

204 Attack on the Royal Castle

A month had passed since Adam was taken into custody. Apart from some unpleasant experiences, life here flowed quite smoothly. He had a comfortable bed, and they even allowed him to have a drink. However, of course, continuing this affair would be too foolish.

Having seduced two female knights, he successfully obtained some details about why they wanted to interrogate him. Camilla told him that Queen Elizabeth wanted to create a sensation in this way and gradually weaken the influence of the Veridia Company. Moreover, according to the girl, she had seen a man with a cloak and a plain white mask together with the queen.

Adam had his thoughts on this matter. If he wasn’t mistaken, the man in the mask could easily be the CEO of the Branks Company, who was the main reason why Adam ended up in this situation. Undoubtedly, this fact greatly annoyed him.

“So, I need you to convey these fragments to a neutral journal. I’m sure that even if they were on Branks’ side, they wouldn’t miss such details,” mumbled Adam, holding a glass in his hand.

He was in his room, sipping wine, as it was nighttime. The stars sparkled brightly in the night sky, while the only illumination in the room was the moon. Moreover…

“Okay, I got it,” a female voice responded to Adam’s request.

Next to Adam floated a token belonging to Amarantha. Through this token, he conveyed his request to her, as he had already noticed that the whole situation with his arrest and the like ended very quickly, giving him more space to work.

“Thank you. I hope everything will turn out for the best,” the man murmured, ending the connection.

The room was silent and dark. His mood was not the best, and his hands nervously trembled as he held the wine glass and occasionally sipped from it, trying to relax. The situation with house arrest was getting on his nerves, considering that he could hardly do anything.

In the political sphere, where he ventured to enrich himself, there was no such thing as resolving matters by force. Of course, he needed power, but due to the incident with Veronica, Elizabeth now suspected him, losing all her trust in him and changing her attitude by 180 degrees.

“Yeah. Why did I get into politics?” he thought, although these thoughts were more of a joke.

His position was simple. He wanted to, by any means, create a place for himself where he could live as he pleased, without feeling any restrictions. A kind of earthly paradise, for which he should strive, but for now, he faces serious obstacles.

Those were not ancient times when one could establish control over a territory by sheer force. No, diplomacy and long-term cooperation were needed now. Moreover, almost all the places on the continent were occupied, leaving him in a suspended state. There were only two options: either find another continent or create a kingdom in a separate space.

However, both had many problems. Finding a continent was much more challenging than just sailing the seas and hoping to find something. There had been attempts before him, but nothing was discovered, creating a sense that some force was blocking explorers.

Regarding creating a kingdom in a separate space, the problem here was much more serious. Adam planned to settle people in his territory, rather than representatives of other races. And speaking of beastmen, for example, they also needed suitable conditions. And a separate space doesn’t always come with good conditions.

“However, patience is necessary. Many years will pass, more than a hundred, probably, but I will still achieve my goal,” he thought and sighed, looking at the moon. “Either way, I have all the time in the world in my hands. The main thing is to take small but confident steps.”

Two days later…

The capital was in chaos again. It seemed like they would never get used to sensations, as today’s news was. The editor of a newspaper called “Only Truth” released an article stating that the Branks Company was caught selling prohibited substances on the black market. Moreover, they were actively involved in murdering people and other illicit activities.

“What the hell… these are the infamous killers, the ‘Cult of Alfred’! No one has heard of them for over twenty years… I thought they disappeared!” exclaimed one of the guards standing at the gate with surprise.

“They are slippery bastards. They say these scoundrels were planning an assassination attempt on the queen, and there was even an attempt, but they were immediately killed. I also thought they were all extinct, but as it turns out, Branks was covering for them!” replied another guard with irritation.

The Cult of Alfred. They were like the masons in this world and had once become famous for controlling large cities in Avalonia, while even aristocrats collaborated with them. Most of their activities were tied to murders and the sale of prohibited substances, and only then came slave trading and extortion.

The most crucial thing was that they couldn’t be caught, and countless attempts to infiltrate them as a spy ended with the death of the person sent for espionage, along with messages directly threatening murder if such incidents were repeated.

Considering that the Branks Company had always been under suspicion, news with direct evidence indicated an undeniable fact – Branks intentionally hides criminals!

An official response had to be waited for more than a week, causing a lot of dissatisfaction among the people. And when the Branks Company came out with explanations that this recording was false and manipulated, no one believed them anymore. As evidence, they simply said, “Trust us, we are good!”

Small problems started, causing tension in Branks. By that time, attention was diverted from Adam’s persona.

And though the man decided to take the next step to attack the queen’s authority, he suddenly received “unexpected” help.

Early in the morning, the royal castle suddenly experienced a powerful earthquake, forcing the servants to run around, trying to save valuable items. However, to their surprise, it all stopped after a few seconds.

But in reality…

In Elizabeth’s chambers, there was complete chaos. Her luxurious bed was broken into two parts, and there were cracks and holes in the walls. In the room stood two women face to face. Elizabeth herself and…

“I don’t remember inviting you here,” Elizabeth said with a cold tone, crossing her arms on her chest and looking at the woman in front of her. She mentioned her name with irritation: “Veronica. What the hell are you doing here? Testing my patience or what?”

The uninvited guest who suddenly came in and, by the way, broke the room into two parts was Veronica. Anger was on her face, so strong that even Elizabeth felt discomfort. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and her hair, as if defying gravity, floated in the air.

Tension in the room grew a hundredfold, while the pressure from their emotions began to clash, causing the strongest vibrations. These clashes, encountering the castle’s protective mechanism, were absorbed.

“Bitch! Have you become so powerful that you dared to arrest my Adam? Slut, you’ve lost your mind!” Veronica shouted and stomped on the ground.

BOOOOM!

A loud explosion echoed, and at the spot where Elizabeth had a second ago, sharp spikes appeared, but by that time, the woman had already avoided the strike. Looking at Veronica with a serious expression, the queen infused her magical energy and enveloped the room in ice.

“What, do you think your ice will help cool my temper? HELL NO!” Veronica shouted, clenching her teeth and looking at Elizabeth. “Brain-dead whore! Knowing that he’s my adopted son, you dared to arrest him! Has our little one become so strong? Let me check that!”

Vshuuuu!

Suddenly, the temperature in the room rose to two hundred degrees, not stopping and continuing to rise. At the same time, the ice began to melt, although Elizabeth’s magical energy helped restore it. The room was filled with fireballs that flew in different directions and began to crush everything in their path.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth was forced to grit her teeth, holding back countless attacks from Veronica that rained down on her body like a hailstorm. It was very challenging for her, but she refused to give up.

“What is this… you haven’t exactly become stronger since our last encounter… SO WHERE DOES THIS CONFIDENCE COME FROM, YOU BITCH?!” BOOM! With a single strike, Veronica sent Elizabeth crashing into the wall. This time, the defensive mechanisms didn’t activate, and the queen’s body passed through the wall, creating a hole. In mid-air, Elizabeth frowned, feeling a slight pain from the Demon Queen’s blow, but she managed to regroup and dart back. 𝓲𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝒎

At high speed, both women clashed with blows, causing a powerful explosion followed by an equally strong aftershock. The capital’s residents were stunned by the display of this force, and more than a hundred people watched the scene. Among them was Adam, who simply shook his head, sighing.

“They’re not even fighting at full strength, and that’s fine. I shudder to think what it would be like if they used the Higher Energy,” he thought, taking a drag from his cigarette.

Higher Energy. It surpasses magic in purity and contains the laws of nature, amplifying any spell a hundredfold. Fire will burn forever, water will never run out, the earth will be solid and unyielding, and the wind will always be strong.

Its excessive use can lead to catastrophe. All the laws of nature will be violated, and a place affected by Higher Energy will always be in a state of chaos. That’s why Adam wasn’t concerned; no one in their right mind would use Higher Energy.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM! …or would they?
