HERALD OF STEEL

*Rumble*, *Rumble*, *Rumble*

The rumbling and roaring of thunder and lightning still continued outside with the same intensity as before even as the absolutely memorable mating session finally came to an end in Cambyses’s room.

By then the weather had also become quite chilly, and coaxed by this alluring drop in temperature as well as a satisfacted lower half, both Gelene and Cambyses decided to hit the bed, snuggling up with each other.

Thus the only ones left awake were-

Alexander, who was still worried about the potential damage this downpour was going to cause and thus unable to sleep, and

Lady Nanazin, who due to her previous experience with such ‘exercises’ had developed almost unlimited stamina, hence still appeared spry as a young chicken.

So with nothing else to do, the two chose to move over from the bed and went to the nearby couch, where Lady Nanazin offered her voluminous, still naked lap as a pillow for the man.

Alexander would hardly ever turn such an invitation down and so swiftly padded his head on the soft thighs, loving the sensation as well as the view- looking up he could only see the two half moons dangling ever so close to the face, teasing him with their smell.

While the lady in question with only a thin blanket draped over her shoulder like a cape, sweetly glanced down on the face with a slight mist in her.

Looking at her man… Lady Nanazin felt that even a year ago, she could have never imagined she would get to experience such tranquility in her heart ever in her life.

It almost made all her earlier suffering… if not worth it, at least tolerable.

She thus found herself subconsciously caressing the man’s head, feeling that long, thick hair, then cooing in a teasing tone, “Master, I am not still satisfied! Both of your loads were so thin! Could we go for another round later?”

“Ahhh! You demoness… all of you will be the end of me!” Alexander instantly moaned to the possibility with a slight shiver, narrowing his eyes in half pleading, “I came nine times already. Spare me!”

If Lady Nanazin really tried to go for round ten… Alexander feared his hips might give out, as he helplessly added with a certain bitter and tiredness in his voice,

“Taking four succubi at once is really pushing it. That’s why I never have Cam and the others at once. Ahhh, but today I somehow got tricked into it.”

That was also why when the trio had turned to look at him with that glint after Lady Parthia fell asleep, Alexander had produced that slightly rueful smile.

He knew it was going to be a tough night for him. But he still tried his best.

As for the results….

Well, the man did not really feel any shame nor anger over Lady Nanazin’s playful comment or his own current inability to continue as he frankly confessed.

Because he knew his number for the night was extremely respectable under any circumstance if not an absolute record.

For context, in his previous life, Alexander’s absolute best was six in one night and even that was based on a slight technicality- he had some fun, slept for a bit, and then resumed once more around dawn. Even then, by the end, he was mostly shooting out cloudy water.

Yet here… Alexander not only shot out one and a half times more, but he also did so continuously with little rest. And each of the releases was still relatively thicker.

He suspected this ability was a dual courtesy of the generally more physically demanding lifestyle leading to a healthier body as well as Ophenia’s secret drug.

As for how much each of the factors affected the total number… well Alexander had no idea.

“Hehehe!” Lady Nanazin gave a peal of laughter at the answer, finding his tone very amusing.

Men at the time did not talk like that with their women- in such a weak and vulnerable state. They always tried to appear strong and indomitable for society expected a man to never lose in front of his woman… no matter what that thing might be.

Hence if Lady Nanazin had said this to another man for instance, he would have most certainly agreed to the round even if he risked losing his hips midway.

Thus Alexander’s answer appeared as a very refreshing change in her eyes.

Of course, it would also be a bit disingenuous not to add the caveat that Lady Nanazin only found Alexander’s temporary weakness endearing because of how competent he generally was. Needless to say, Alexander’s stamina in bed had impressed her tonight.

If Alexander was average however and then made the comment, Lady Nanazin would have felt disdain even if she was in love with him.

This was simply the society she was brought up in.

But given the current situation, amused by her man’s lack of spirit, Lady Nanazin curved her beautiful eyes in mirthfulness.

“What did you and Cam talk about today?” Alexander then suddenly chimed from below.

And the lady quickly replied,

“Oh, mostly about the things we discussed today in your study… your new coins and the lending house. Hehehe, I also asked to help put in a good word for my daughters.”

“…” As Lady Nanazin said, she looked down to give Alexander a very meaningful look.

This was a matter she had wanted to discuss for a long time.

Yet, like many other times, the man pretended not to notice, opting to directly avoid it.

It was because it was a loaded topic.

The main issue was Lady Nanazin’s three daughters were not actually from Ptomoly but from a lowly guard. So instead of being royal princesses they actually had quite low status.

But at the same time they were also brought up in the palace with that status, thus making the whole thing a complicated tangle of mess that Alexander did not want to dip his fingers in right now.

“Oh, I sensed a bit of bitterness as you said the words ‘lending house’. Could it be that you still do not think it is a good idea?” So he decided to swiftly change the topic, asking Lady Nanazin about her own thoughts about his new venture instead.

And getting the message, the Adhanian queen too did not push Alexander on this reluctant matter.

Shifting her focus instead, she frankly replied in a cautionary tone,

“I just do not think it was necessary for you to do this right now. I suspect you do not know much about the nobles involved and that is why you are being so dismissive, but I am very intimately aware.”

“These powers controlling the lending do not like competition. So once they find out about this, they will certainly lash out at you! I just do not think it was necessary to put yourself in this when you have little need.” Lady Nanazin repeated the last sentence with a frown just to emphasize her point.

“….” While Alexander quietly listened to her assessment, not outright rebuking Lady Nanazin on her words.

But at the same time, he also did not put much thought into this.

“Oh, which of the nobles are you so afraid of? What is their name? How many pashas do this? And what can they even do to me in here, Zanzan, my hometown?” He fearlessly posed a series of questions.

To which Lady Nanazin was admittedly unable to give a satisfactory answer.

When she thought about it, she found that could not just say they would declare war because most of them were already in a conflict with Alexander, it was just currently frozen and could thaw at any time.

While the usual threats of boycott from social events and sanctions on trade were largely ineffective on Alexander.

The latter was self explanatory- Alexander’s products were so unique and one of a kind that the nobles were unable to resist.

While Alexander voluntarily boycotted most of the social events himself, finding them a bore and more importantly immoral. Yet at the same time, seats for his own parties were fought over tooth and nail among many houses because of all the new kinds of delicacies he tended to present each time.

So Lady Nanazin suspected Alexander would probably cheer if he stopped receiving all those tedious invitations.

As for the very last method available at the nobles’ disposal- refusing to marry into Alexander’s household, well that tactic was also currently moot.

Not only was Alexander not from here and thus had no relatives to put pressure on, but also from the tidbits Lady Nanazin heard from Alexander, he seemed quite against his children marrying into any of the noble houses.

Yes- he was not just disinterested, but actively against it.

For instance, when many nobles had come to him asking for his two daughters- Alexandria and Ophenia’s hands, Alexander had brutally shut them down saying he was not going to discuss it until they came of age.

This was a very telling reply because, in Adhania, it was a polite euphemism for rejection.

And Lady Nanazin also knew the reason behind Alexander’s answer- his dislike for a certain part of their culture.

So for now she could only name a few powerful nobles in the capital.
