Before they all arrived here, Davis and the others saw that the Imperial Castle was full of fanfare, having a festival-like atmosphere.

Festival lights almost covered a few kilometers from the Imperial Castle. When he asked why, he learned that Clara, the Loret Empress, and Mark Ruth, the Ruth Emperor, jointly announced the marriage agreement between Crown Prince Davis Loret and Princess Isabella.

Apparently, both the Loret Capital and Ruth Capital were full of fanfare for the last three months, attracting many people from cities and towns and even from other empires.

After all, it was the marriage between the strongest man and the strongest woman in the Grand Sea Continent. More so, there was a rumor that a dragon would be overlooking the marriage, making them all want to witness it!

Davis couldn't help but smile as he thought of Princess Isabella. He wanted to surprise her as well, but it wouldn't be strange if some random person decided to inform her that he returned.

"Brother, a few people, Princess Isabella's half-brothers from the Ruth Empire, decided to plot and make trouble for us, so I put an end to their miserable life and imprisoned some. You won't blame me, right?"

"Of course not." Davis shook his head, "What about Isabella? Did she say anything?"

Clara imperceptibly smiled, "Sister-in-law Isabella said that they deserved it."

Davis smirked, feeling that she was ruthless indeed. After she had promised herself to him, how could she allow other men to look at her in a romantic light? It was possible that she would perceive them all as a threat, or even an enemy and kill!

He was immensely satisfied with her actions.

"Woah, there are so many things I didn't know about big brother before..."

Tia Alstreim dreamily uttered.

There was just too much information for her to comprehend. The building here was absolute garbage compared to the Alstreim Family's single mansion, and yet, her elder sister's family, who came from here, were so strong.

Evelynn, Natalya, and Fiora also listened to the two siblings speak, occasionally adding something meaningful or humorous to the conversation.

People were still interacting in the Throne Hall half an hour later. These six people were interacting with each other while Edgar Alstreim and his wife were with Logan, Edward, and Diana.

Diana instantly took a liking to her grandfather and vice versa as they quickly bonded while Edward had already passed his stage of shyness and became a confident man.

He spoke eloquently, garnering his grandfather's praise when his father also suddenly praised that he should inherit the Loret Empire's Emperor status while Edward respectfully declined, saying that he preferred to be like his elder brother, free and glorious.

It caused Logan to fake his anger because if no one wanted to be Emperor, where could he search for one? He had less interaction with his other children, but there were a few children who seemed responsible. However, would Claire allow him if he made them the Emperor? It was more like she would hold a grudge for that.

'Well, if she doesn't allow me to name my other children the Emperor and Evan don't want the throne of the Emperor, I will make her give birth to a son who wants it eventually...'

He inwardly nodded because he felt that Claire's as the Empress was to give birth to a suitable heir. However, all she did was give birth to suitable heirs, but none of them seemed like they wanted the throne!

It wasn't like the Loret Family would continue staying here. He imagined that both the Loret Family and Ruth Family would eventually make a name and become hegemons in the Fifty-Two Territories while leaving the Empires here as a branch. However, he didn't get ahead of himself and also knew that it would be a few centuries later.

On the other end, Claire was with Nora while they both held each other's babies, looking at her family interact with joy while accompanying her sworn sister so as not to have her feel like she was left out.

"I shouldn't ask this after we have arrived but are you fine with leaving them like that?"

Claire suddenly spoke, garnering Nora's attention.

"You mean my father and mother?"

Nora giggled as she caressed Laura in her arms.

"Big sister, it's not like I abandoned them. I am sure that we will return in a few months or years. Although I feel sorry for leaving them just when I saw them alive, you two already let me stay with them for a long time without saying anything. I'm deeply grateful. Besides, I'm not an Alstreim anymore. I'm a Loret, just like you."

"What do you mean?" Claire looked confused, "You don't want to rule the Alstreim Family with your blood? Surely, Laura could achieve that... It is not like our Alstreim Family only allows men to become Patriarch. It is interchangeable with the position of the Matriarch as long as the woman is exceeding. Moreover, it's not like you'll have only one child with our husband. You'll eventually birth a son, no?"

Nora giggled again, "You're right about that, big sister. However, ever since I became his woman, I am his, and not the other way around."

She sent a soul transmission suddenly and laughed.

"Ahaha!~ You beat him up on the surface and yet melt whenever he says something good. You're completely submissive to him, and yet you act like you hold the reigns."

She raised her brows at the red-faced Claire and uttered, "We're both the same, big sister. You might want to stop hitting him if you want to remain the first because the others sure wouldn't let this chance slip because they would all be willing to treat him like the Emperor he is... After all, we agreed to let him spend time with his six other wives after we have returned."

'You don't know... that I do this exactly because I want to be bullied in bed...' Claire inwardly thought to herself, feeling her face become hot.

She was never good with words in bed anyway as she ends up losing all her vocabulary in pleasure. Besides, it was extremely embarrassing for her to ask him to do this and that, that she would rather beat him up and inevitably make him do it.

Likely, Logan knew of it too, and that's why he never took it as an offense. In other words, it could also be said to be their love language.

However...

"I understand. I won't hit him in front of everyone anymore..." Claire sent back a soul transmission.

"Good... I know that you hit him to intensify him in bed. He loves it, especially when I whisper in his ears to bully you more~"

Claire's pupils trembled as she felt her face burn. Her thoughts were already known that she felt she lost all face. She recalled that this happened the night before she got pregnant when she and Nora shared their man on the same bed as things suddenly progressed to that point somehow!

However, she didn't regret it because she got to see Nora squeal all the same.

Hence, Claire admitted that they were the same, as said by Nora.

While the two embarrassed mothers were conversing, the conversation between the others became heated up as Nadia entered the scene, making the previous two groups join.

Edward and Diana were completely awed by Nadia's beauty, and when they saw her transform into a Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf, they were outright mindblown by her aura that they couldn't help but ask if they could ride on her back when Davis outright said no, causing them to blink.

"Nadia is a beautiful female magical beast. She is mine, so how could I let you all get on her?"

Davis boastfully shook his head while Edward and Diana pleaded as they shook his sleeves, unaware that he wouldn't let them climb on Nadia no matter what because she was his woman, not his magical beast mount anymore.

The only ones who deserved to get back on her were her sisters, his women, and perhaps, in emergencies, others like his family and siblings.

"You cannot be like this, brother... Sister-in-law Isabella was rather kind to us by letting us get on Mira's back."

"Mira? The newborn Earth Dragon?" Davis was amused, "Mira is not a King-Tier Magical Beast. Nadia will swallow you for mounting her because she is a King-Tier Magical Beast, a Queen among her Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf Species."

"Woah, brother is so cool... but what's a King-Tier Magical Beast, though?"

Davis almost facepalmed but decided to explain to their ignorance as it was expected.

Both Edward's and Diana's mouths went agape as they looked at Nadia, who returned back to her beautiful human form. They now understood the significance of the black mark with a golden outline on her forehead shaped like a crescent with a three-petaled crowd.

A King-Tier Magical Beast could fight two levels ahead, and that meant that Nadia is a magical beast whose cultivation was at Ninth Stage!!!

Both the siblings couldn't help but smile at each other, thinking that their brother hadn't fallen behind someone. However, they didn't say anything about it and just grinned happily.

"That's not all! Davis has Eldia as well. She's a Mid-Level Emperor Grade Lightning Elemental whose prowess reaches the Ninth Stage. Just before we came, we got to see both their prowess that made the territory fog that's impenetrable by even Eighth Stage Experts look like nothing!"

Fiora bragged as she came closer to Davis, smiling as she wrapped her arms around his arm intimately, her face blushing.

The three siblings couldn't help but blink.

Wasn't Fiora, sister-in-law Natalya's little sister? Why is she holding Davis intimately like that?

Davis raised his arm and patted Fiora's hand, feeling amused as he knew that she wanted them to know who she was amidst them.

"Clara, Fiora is also my woman. Although we haven't married yet, I already consider her one of my wives. Moreover, I have two more women back in the Alstreim Family. Their name is Sophie Alstreim and Niera Alstreim, and the latter is actually our eighth mother's little sister. Then, I-"

"Brother and sisters-in-law." Clara coldly interjected, "Can you all please come with me to brother's room so that we could have a word?"

Everyone couldn't help but blink, especially Edward and Diana, who looked at their brother with utter disbelief.

In almost five short years, their brother had gained five women!?

Natalya, Fiora, Sophie, Niera and Isabella!?

Davis raised his brows, wondering what his little sister got in store for him and them. Nine out of ten times, he felt that he was going to receive a severe rebuking for forming a harem when he said that he wouldn't do something like that to her in their childhood.

He knew he had set a bad example, and went back on his teachings, so...

"Sure..."

He uttered and followed Clara while his women followed him.
