A FEW DAYS LATER
Inside the royal palace there was a place specifically designed for the females in the harem of the King of the Ironforge Dominion. Four bountiful women in their youth sat on the bed in an open courtyard area that blossomed with garden flowers and soft rays of sunlight flashing on their milk like skin.
Beside the bed in a more reserved area, a middle aged man knelt before a woman hidden behind white curtains that had a massive cross engraved in its fabric design.
The Ironforge Dominion was known to be extremely religious in their worship to the sun god Helios. They viewed and preached sex to be a form of tantric holy ceremony between Priests, Kings and other high ranking people with the women in their harem.
"What you speak of…. is it truly wise? Your majesty" the woman asked.
The middle aged man dressed in an all white linen attire had just finished engaging in holy coitus with his holy harem and had signs of dizziness— Messy hair, wrinckled clothes etc.
"Yes mother… Lady Elyria of House Valthorne has displayed rise to glory and her scion— Kael Valthorne seems to be a suitable pick to take my daughters hand in marriage…"
"Elyria's rise has now placed house Valthorne on par with The Inca Clan, even though the Incas have been leaders of the church for centuries and they have strong ties to the mother land Ember Crown Empire…"
Ironforge Dominion were originally under the rule of the country Ember Crown Empire, but a few centuries ago, a civil war broke out and the two countries disbanded.
Ironforge Dominion took the cake of the war by seizing most of the resources and powerful people backing them up from both inside and outside the country.
That's why Ironforge Dominion is higher in prosperity than Ember Crown Empire, however, people in Ironforge Dominion still have the same traditions, religion and lifestyle as those in Emberfall Crown Empire.
The man rose with wide grin on his face, looking directly at the curtains that housed the woman.
"The Inca Clan and House Valthorne are crucial if we want the Ironforge Dominion to expand properly. I have taken the necessary precautions and this plan will not backfire, so you can relax mother." King Percival said.
The Matriarch sighed heavily and the silhouette of her figure shook its head ever so slightly.
"You are the sole ruler of this nation…Percival. You do not need anyones approval to act, not even my own. But as your dear mother I will have to advise you, even if you won't like what I'll say."
King Percival squinted his eyes at his mothers figure, "What are you saying mother?"
"Right now, my advice to you is simple… Cancel whatever plans you have up your sleeve!"
The Inca Clan were the leaders of the church and were seen as 'The Holy Family', they were the family that had the divine mandate as the god Helios used one member of their family as his vessel once every thousand years— This individual was known a The Pope and the religion had origins in the Ember Crown Empire.
Therefore, using them against the Ember Crown Empre would be like relying on the enemy's spies to destroy their own base.
"Needless to say… even your wife was once a Nun in the church, how can you trust them?"
"House of Valthorne is much better. Kael is the matriarchs heir and a candidate to take your place in the inevitable case of your death. Who do you think the Valthornes listen to? You the king of the country or the Ember Crown Empire that aspire to regain control over us and our resources"
"By involving the Inca Clan, you are literally inviting tigers into your home full of gazelles and you're giving them license to tear them apart with their ferocious teeths"
King Percival's mother finished her speech with a huge gulp of air, but the King himself was simply smiling to her remarks, as if he anticipated all that she was had said.
"No need to worry mother. I've got it all calculated and sorted out. The Incas and Valthornes of this age are destined to become the spear that helps us topple the Ember Crown Empire once and for all…"
The Kings mother shook her head again, "What of the Pope…The vessel of Helios himself, he wouldn't want to betray the motherland… where his dear religion anchors and started from…"
"Like I said mother, This generation will topple the Ember Crown Empire… including the pope".

Meanwhile, inside the main hall of the House Valthorne, the house elites gathered alongside with Lady Elyria and her husband Nexon Valthorne. This group included elders, administrators and most promising youngsters of the extend family.
Virtually all the men in the massive hall-like room had their eyes locked on Lady Elyria, as they fixated their gaze on the matriarchs flawless skin and wondered how in the span of a mere few days, she had gotten so much more radiant and hypnotic.
It was no secret that Elyria had always been drop dead gorgeous, but now? She looked like a divine bombshell, causing all the men in the room to have a bump in their trousers due to their preeqs getting a rush of blood. Still, she remained calm, standing tall and commanding. Zaja stood beside her holding notes, assuming his role as the 'privileged slave' of the house.
And just as the men stared at Lady Elyria, the women stared at Zaja with pure, hungry lust regardless of their age.
"I'll be swift and direct. The House of Valthorne has received a massive opportunity along side the Inca Clan. King Percival plans to turn the Ironforge Dominion into a superpower capable of resisting clashes with Ember Crown Empire and the likes of Blackfield Gorge…"
"And to do that, he wants to accelerate the development of Sunshine City, due to its location close to the borders, he plans to use it to manipulate the economies of stronghold cities beyond our borders."
She paused, letting the information sink in. Using her eyes to run through the individuals listening to her speech, she was able to pick out a few who had their cocks bulging out from their trousers.
Sunshine city was the hottest topic in the country as it was the fastest growing city, even surpassing the capital.
As one would like to think, the border were normally weak and dangerous. Leaving the inland to be protected and powerful, but Sunshine City was the exception.
Even though it was just built a little over 500 years ago as a buffer city, it held a special privilege: It could make its own laws even overruling royal degrees. Because of that, it became a hub for luxury, riches, crime syndicates and information exchange.
With more than four million residents, Sunshine City generated twice the wealth and Arcane Crystals than the capital city.
Unfortunately, the royal family had lost control of many of the city's major industries to a shadowy faction known as the Institute of the Halo.
"Using the excuse of 'New Management,' the King wants us to suppress Sunshine City's rising factions, take it back from the Institute of the Halo, and expand its economy and most importantly— its military. A new mansion has already been prepared for us, plus 3,000 royal guards, subsidies and other massive gifts…" Lady Elyria continued.
A moment of silence cascaded around the hall for short while, until Nexon Valthrone spoke up.
"My lady, I beg your pardon… is this decision deemed to be wise?"
Sunshine City's location had a reputation for being terrible, yet the city still thrived. To the East, the city faced hungry nations that would jump at the chance of stealing Arcane crystals from them, to the South, they faced the infamous Ember Crown Empire and the weak, volatile relationship the country had with the religious country, to the West, they faced behemoths that were heavily influenced by Lady Xena Apotheosis's Blackfield Gorge.
Nexon's concerns stemmed from valid feelings as he knew that three thousand royal guards was nowhere near enough against the Ember Crown Empire. They're not even enough to use as toothpicks.
Nexon took a huge gulp of air before speaking again, "Bringing those guards into our territory is basically inviting spies into our home. They're are loyal only to the King and they will watch everything we do… who is to say the King doesn't have diabolical plans against us to steal our resources for himself"
He was making perfect sense and Lady Elyria knew it deep in her bones.
But then she said something that shocked everyone, "We've also been granted unique expansion rights. Any land we conquer becomes ours."
Immediately those words came out Nexon's eyes widened in shock, and a gasps of shock spread through the crowd.
"The nations beyond our border? Even the ones colonized by the Blackfield Gorge?"
"Will be ours for the taken…" her voice thundered through the hall. "Don't you understand? Percival is giving us the legal right to build new nations of our own. Whether we succeed depends entirely on our strength…" she finished.
"I don't know my Lady, it all seems way to easy… and I've come to realize that great things never come easy." Nexon said as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
"A decade ago, several Red Veil Arcane Beasts invaded the House Valthorne. We have reason to believe that that attack was initiated by the mercenaries of the Ember Crown Empire and the Church. That means we have dangerous enemies inside the inland, enemies who want to exterminate us…"
"...The Ember Crown Empire have been looking for a way to seize back control of the Ironforge Dominion, what better way to do it by crumbling the strongest and most powerful family in the country…"
"...They are using their Churches here to infiltrate our country and strategically want to seize the capital and declare control over our land, how does no one see that asides me?"
"We defend, we fight, and we crush those who plan on bringing down the powerhouse we strived to build…" her speech ignited the entire hall.
Zaja, however, had simpler priorities. 'Why is everyone acting so dramatic and stuck up? You're all just hungry for power and are causing my skin to crawl. Well, no worries, I'll calm myself later by pumping cum into one of these hoes later'.
