Or else, even by sleeping with James, they wouldn't be able to reap the great benefits like them.

Simply like that, a great three factions started to slowly take form inside James harem. As for James, he didn't concern himself with any of them for now; as he had to train, train hard, train all the time, except when he wanted to sleep with any of his girls.

"I will leave everything here to you," he said to Luna at the doorstep of Dora's large cruiser, "keep mining this ore, and look for other places that might contain it," he added, before gently painting a soft kiss over her lips, while squeezing her soft body in his hands.

The other two just watched with annoyed expressions on their faces, but they said nothing. "I will," Luna simply replied, and didn't add another word. She stood in the ground watching the large cruiser take off, while she evilly smirked:

"I won't let any other girl have this ore without my consent, hehehe."

As Luna was setting the preparations to cut any influence the other two girls might have in the mine, the other two girls were speaking with James about other stuff.

"So you are saying you won't send them back?" Dora asked, with her fiery aggressive tone.

"Sure, why should I?"

"Perhaps because you will infect them with your dragon uncontrolled energy!"

"And what in that?"

"That… that will be dangerous, risky on others. Imagine if they changed to a dragon in the middle of a crowded place? What do you expect to happen then? Huh?"

"Don't be this pessimistic, I slept with you for such a long time and you didn't transform except for late times."

"Dora, he may have a point here," Islinda suddenly joined the debate, with her calm tone.

"May?!"

"Sure it's a good thing to have more dragons in our empire, turning it into an empire of dragons, but did you think over the forces who sent them to spy on you? Your secret will be revealed to them, and they might have a change in wind after that."

"I'm sure such a secret won't be kept off their eyes, and the eyes of any other force watching us for long."

"But you will risk exposing it so early on your own! This is stupidity!"

"It's my own decision, and I won't let these girls be sent away!" he shouted back at Dora while silencing both her and Islinda. They both were trying to decrease the list of competitors, but it seemed they failed, miserably at achieving that!

The two exchanged silent glances, as from this moment on; a huge unofficial war was born between the two, or the three girls; a war of harem factions!

"Let's speak about the matters of the empire," he annoyingly said, trying to change this annoying topic, shaking it off his mind, "What is the current state in the empire?" he asked the two of them.

"Rigo has completed the war, and he is on his way home," Dora said, with a bitter angry tone.

"He sent to me," James nodded, as he read the messages Rigo sent, and the brief report of the fight. "I want you two to work on expanding our fleet more. It's not appropriate for our huge empire to depend on a single fleet! You will be in charge of one, and he will be in charge for another, and Islinda will be the leader of the stationed home fleet."

The girls looked at him as they nodded. "What about the inner state of the empire?" he asked Islinda directly.

"I have implemented the new citizenship system, and so far it gave us a lot of treasures and gains," she replied, "and the capital is now considered one of the busiest, wealthiest, and most advanced places in the whole grand sector."

Her face was brimming with pride, after all this was all thanks to her ideas and efforts. "Good, you did great there," James said, before adding, "start arranging auctions and citizenship to the newly obtained areas in the empire. I will select a few capable girls of those sent by the seven forces, and make them come to aid you in managing the imperial affairs."

He threw this bomb over her head making her speechless for a second, not knowing what she would say. "B-But…"

"Also prepare for some to be sent to you, you two are low on manpower, and capable girls of my harem are there to be used," he said while lashing with his words over Dora's ears, making her face turn redder from anger!

"They can't be trusted! They belong to the seven forces!" Dora exclaimed, while gritting over her teeth, in a try to control her anger and now explode on his face.

"You two are really… sigh! Can't you see the bigger picture?" he was tired from their constant remarks regarding these girls. "What picture?" Islinda asked, with no interest or expectations at all for anything worthy.

"In the near future, not only those girls, but also these seven powers supporting their backs will be added to my empire! in fact, the whole grand sector will reside under my control sooner or later. So, chill out and get over this fast, as sooner or later these girls will be officially loyal to no one but me; as in the end there will be no one else but me."

His words were calm, yet the air around them was very domineering!

The words of his came so sudden as no one of the two girls really expected him to say that! as they landed on the capital, James realized the true meaning of what Islinda said of this planet being the most crowded and prosperous place in the whole grand sector!

The planet entirely had streams of small cruisers and small and large merchant caravans coming in and out constantly from it, forming some sort of traffic even a large distance away from the planet. "How did you manage to organize all this mess?" he asked with astonishment.

"I made a separate building used to control the influx of traffic in and out the planet. The real mess is regarding the ground itself, as many wanted to come and stay; not wanting to leave or even give a definite date for its departure," she sighed, and that made James realize how hard it was on her, working alone all this time was really tiring.

For him, she needed aid, and for her, she was seeing herself capable of running things without any help. However when she and Dora realized the about to occur futuristic war inside the harem, they both decided to use the help James would send and add these girls under their wings.

Like this, the harem factions started to take shape, without anyone really exerting any effort!

James kept watching the crowded scenery from the commanding deck until they landed at the back garden of the palace, where there was one monster wreaking havoc there.

Just as he went outside the cruiser, he heard a soft, yet familiar voice echoing in his mind:

'Kill this monster by your hand! Use me!'

This soft and sexy voice erupted inside his mind, making even his dull senses right now be aroused. 'Stefanie,' he thought to himself while swallowing his dried throat when he recalled the picture of such a sexy body, swarmed underneath him with a shaky bed and loud screams.

James stopped in a try to control himself, and doing so made the two girls stop as well, glancing towards him in question. "Sorry, I have to do something," he muttered, with a grin over his face.

Before hearing any words from the two he turned around and headed directly away, towards the nearby monster.

Since the upgrade of monsters' strength, the defending garrison here was formed entirely of medium sized cruisers, and they were able to easily control the rampage of that monster, despite taking a long time in killing it.

"Come forth, my dear beloved scepter!"

James muttered, while raising his right hand high in the air. The next moment, a long scepter appeared, with a central crystal in his right hand, a scepter Dora didn't see for such a long time!

"Oh sh*t!!" she exclaimed in shock the moment she saw the scepter.

"What? Do you recognize that in his hand?" Islinda asked, as she felt some sort of oppression the moment that scepter appeared in James' hands.

"Run! It's that crazy scepter of his! Run!" Dora instantly shouted to all present around here, before she turned around and ran. She ran, everyone ran, without knowing what really was going on here; all except one; all except Islinda.

"Show me how strong have you become, my beloved emperor," she muttered to herself, while standing motionless in place, focusing her gaze upon James.

"What are you doing there? run!!" Dora shouted at her, yet her shouts didn't manage to shake any sense back into Islinda's mind.
