The things went on just like how Sam planned for the next few days.

Aina and the King are doing what they are doing and the rest of the women are being thankfully ignored only involved when Aina wanted some excitement in.

But the King is not getting that feeling.

They reached the next settlement and this time, the ceremony is almost non-existent. The King is fully focused on Aina, the Queen was completely sidelined and was told to pick the women she liked while he went into the Mansion along with Aina.

He was smitten with her and if not for the fact that she is sure that she wouldn't be able to defeat him, the Queen herself wanted to deal with him.

The orgy in this city was completely bland. He didn't make time for any new additions. He just kept on having sex with Aina for seven to eight hours a day. It is too much even for an Astral Plane cultivator.

But he got addicted to it.

Aina who was feeling good about this was having second thoughts, but when he saw the lost look on Queen's face and how the King couldn't even get himself turned on when he is trying it with Queen alone. He has to keep physical contact with Aina continuously.

He is getting more and more addicted to her and she is downing more and more potions into her body.

Arona who was not raped for more than ten days is feeling grateful and happy after a long time. She looked at the deprived state of the King and felt a sense of victory over him.

After the bland time they spent within the settlement once again, they went out to the next journey.

On the first night after they left the settlement, Aina came to meet Arona secretely.

"I just want to talk to you for some time. Can we do that?"

Arona nodded and both of them took a seat by the lake side. Aina looked exhausted and asked Arona.

"Why is the King so crazy? He was not like that when I met him for the first time. I never thought I would say this. But I don't want to have sex for a while."

"Maybe he fell in love with you."

"No, this is not love. I have seen love. My husband loved me. This is more like a crazy lust."

"Well, he is the king, he would do whatever he wants. Even if his lust is crazy nobody can do anything about it."

"I wish he would tone down his libido a bit. He is so out of control for a person of that cultivation level."

"Is it really that out of hand?"

"Well, he is acting more and more like a beast. There is no mind and thought put into that sex. He is like a beast in heat."

As they chatted, the Queen suddenly who is hiding in the rear heard these words and left to talk to her husband.

The King cannot be insulted like this and even the slightest of suspicion he gets would be answered with death.

And she has seen many of the concubines he keeps in the castle getting killed because of her snitching and she felt it would be the same.

At least that is what she hoped and the initial reaction is indeed so.

"AINA."

The King yelled out as soon as he got the complaint.

Aina and Arona went running towards him and he is indeed furious.

"Queen has something to say about you. Do you have an answer for that?"

The Queen repeated what she did and then pointed at Arona.

"She is there too, ask her if I am telling the truth."

She looked threateningly at Arona which is obviously an indication for her to not lie. But Arona behaved as if she never even saw that and spoke.

"Lord, I am sorry to say this, but the Queen came to us when we are speaking and she started yelling at Aina about her being a vixen and hogging you all for herself and she said that this would be the end of Aina's wicked plans.

She is just lying to make you angry so that you would punish Aina and she can have you all for herself."

She bowed down and spoke in a pitiful voice as if she was afraid to speak up.

Aina was dazed for a moment and it didn't take long before she took the hint.

She averted her gaze with tearful eyes and when King saw that he thought of his own answer and he took out the staff immediately and swung it at the queen.

The Queen was shocked. She was Queen not just because she is a good lay, rather she is most trustworthy to the King.

They practically grew up together. She is his political and business advisor and that is the reason he trusted her every time she reported something and it should have been the same at this moment.

But the King completely took the side of a woman who is nothing but a good lay. She has nothing to offer other than her body.

Even though, there are many thoughts running through her mind, protecting herself was the top priority and she did just that.

The staff hit her on the torso and she flew back and crashed into the tree as she spat out blood.

The King looked at her coldly and said.

"I am forgiving you because of all the things you have done for me, but there is no way I will let you off if you do something like this again."

The queen's face is filled with shock and pain.

She really wanted to retaliate, but she knew that her power is not equal to the King. She has to endure this.

She looked at Aina and Arona with a hateful stare which both of them ignored and went to finish their chat.

"You are really gutsy. You should have given me a headsup."

"You are going to be the next queen anyway, there is no problem. It is only a matter of days."

"But still; this is too early. What if she just kills us and be done with it."

Arona didn't say anything and stayed silent. At midnight she sent the report back to Sam and got a reply.

That night the exchange of notes went for quite a long time.

The next morning, she went to meet Aina again as soon as they got the chance,

"I have a plan for you. If you want to become a queen. Then you can become the queen and it would be announced in the next settlement. You can get rid of the Queen and her companions easily."

"Is there really such a good deal in this world? How can we get rid of them?"

"We are nearing the lair of a beast. I have a herb that attracts that beast and I have a plan. If you want to, tell me before we reach the settlement.

We would out of range of that beast lair after we reach the settlement."

After that she didn't stay in touch with Aina that much, but she did change the cooking pattern. Which means she changed the food for the queen and the rest of the women. It is also another drug that was still in research.

And this increased their aphrodisiac content and then came the effects of the new drug. It has the function of increasing the blood pressure.

This is for surgical purposes. Not everyone has so many elements like Sam, they couldn't control the blood flow in the middle of healing someone.

There is another drug that helps with slowing down the circulation too, bit it has no use now.

As the queen and the rest got the new foods, they are becoming more and more out of control. There are many instances where they wanted to kill Aina directly and the Queen even thought of ideas of killing the King while he is doing Aina.

As she observed the changes in the behavior, Aina became more and more cautious and on second day she agreed to Arona's plan.

"Try to find a way to get all the women to a separate spot and make sure that King is a bit away but not too far. Try to talk him in to making this happen and the plan with succeeding easily. I will take care of the rest."

"But what if the beast manages to kill me."

"There is no chance. The beast would be more interested of the herb than us. And it cannot consume it directly, there is a large process it has to go through before eating it away and it would be very possessive of it.

So don't worry. As long as it gets the herb it will go away.

In fact, I will give the herb to you and you can throw it away whenever things go south. But one thing does make sure that the queen and the rest know that King is nearby, then only the plan will work."
