Chapter 648: Women’s Agreement and a Future Alliance
Upon hearing Ruth’s brief response, Abby was quickly asked. “So?”
“She told me that she had already talked to you about Minos and wanted to talk to me about the same…”
“Uh, she said we should act together to limit Minos’ womanizing side.” Ruth said as she remembered that Nicole had advised her on some issues yesterday.
Nicole was worried about her daughter’s future. For that reason, she didn’t want Abby to have to share Minos’ attention with even more women besides Ruth, with whom young Stuart had already begun a deeper relationship.
To help her daughter, she had taught Abby a few tricks, things to keep young Stuart’s attention, and ways to make him less interested in other women. And since Ruth was essential to making this work, Nicole had talked about the same things with this black-haired woman.
“What do you think about that?”
Ruth then scratched her eyebrows and said confidently. “Well, I don’t know if your mother’s methods are as good as she says they are, but she’s not wrong in wanting to help us with this.”
“Minos has always been libertine in his relationships, and now with so many attractive women in this city, he’s been having fun with an increasing number of women…” She then paused for a moment and said. “I don’t mind him just having fun with these women, but how long will it be before he decides he wants to have a third girlfriend?”
“If we do nothing, we may have to share him in our bed with more people!”
“Hmm, that’s what I was thinking…”
“But what will we do?” Abby asked uncertainly.
“Maybe we should give him what he wants…”
From then on, the two continued to talk about this intimate subject of the two until they finally reached army headquarters.
That was a critical conversation for the two since they both loved young Stuart.
They were capable of allowing Minos to have sex with other women or even add others to his harem since if he were happy, they would be too. But they also had their own selfishness and didn’t want to share his attention with more people.
And one thing did not go against the other. They both could accept other people into the relationship, but neither would facilitate new additions!
So, they were both ready to take up more of this young man’s free time, satisfying his profane desires and keeping him busy…
And they chatted about it until the two set off on their ways towards their respective responsibilities.
‘Ah, Minos, what I am not willing to do for you…’ Abby thought to herself as she thought about the things she had arranged with Ruth.
She would not believe that she had agreed to such things in the past, especially after that tense encounter she and Ruth had had as soon as this woman had arrived in Dry City.
But now, things had changed!
…
Sometime after the two girlfriends of young Stuart reached the headquarters, this ruler was now at one of the exits of Dry City.
Minos was there along with nine of the ten Feathered Serpents that had come to Dry City before. The only one not there was the one who had left with Lee’s group earlier, traveling to the Snow Kingdom.
Anyway, after several conversations between him and the two serpents responsible for this group, they had reached an agreement that was likely to be accepted by the rest of the elders of their tribe.
This agreement concerned the Black Plains’ relationship with the tribe of Feathered Serpents led by Virtus in the short, medium, and long term.
In the long term, that tribe would be part of that young man’s territory and would have all the rights that any vassal noble family could have in the state of their king. They would have the right to rule the land they were on. They would have the protection against outside forces, the right to access the other regions of that state at lower rates, and various other advantages typical of the native powers of a state.
In the medium term, this tribe would have a role as an ally of the Black Plains. It would become a supporter for the young Stuart’s state within the beast world, doing the advertisement and helping this young man gain a different kind of citizen for his state.
In addition, of course, they would help maintain order and fight against enemy forces passing through the Flooded Valley territory.
As for the short term, this was by far the most important to the Black Plain in this agreement. It established that such a tribe would send some groups to Dry City and participate in whatever conflict there was in the future.
They would send some young Feathered Serpents, like the four individuals who were going to be staying here right now, to help with the development of the city. But there would be stronger individuals coming here as well, beings that could fight when the time came.
But they were not very numerous. That number would not reach 400 individuals, even considering the weaker ones.
In any case, these short-term actions were not only beneficial for Minos’ forces. After all, having the chance to integrate into local development was no small opportunity. On the contrary, it would be perfect for those serpents that came here in the first instance!
And, of course, it was also a way for them to lay the foundations of the relationship they would have in the future with the Black Plain.
Nevertheless, as Minos stood there on that spot, with his back to the north gate of the local wall, four smaller serpents stood side by side with him. In contrast, the other five were facing him, creating an ample shade at that location.
“Well, young Minos, that is all. We will talk to Virtus, and you will soon have our contact.” Lack said as his large tongue wagged in his mouth, and his scales shone with the light rays hitting it.
“Hmm, but be careful. Soon this region may become… Well, let’s say, much more active.” Minos warned them, recalling that his territory was experiencing a decisive moment.
“Haha, be sure, we won’t forget that detail.”
After that, Gaia looked in the direction of those four juniors from her tribe and said. “You four, we have already prepared a minimally suitable place for you to live here in young Minos’ city.”
“Then I don’t want to hear about you slacking off to work!”
“Help the local forces as much as possible, and when you have time to spare, work on the local reservation so that more of your tribe brothers can come here in the future.”
“Do you understand me?” She asked briskly.
“Yes, elder!” All four serpents simultaneously said as they used their beast language to communicate.
“All right, you can go back now.”
After that was said, those four young serpents went towards the inside of that dome, leaving behind Minos and those other serpents.
“Well, young Minos, that’s all for now. I hope you won’t have as much trouble for the moment, but we will do our best to help you in the future.” Lack commented as he said goodbye to young Stuart.
“Hmm, thank you. I hope to see you again soon…”
After that, it didn’t take long for those five Feathered Serpents to leave that spot beside the north exit of the local wall and head towards the Flooded Valley.
As for Minos, he too had his affairs to attend to, and it didn’t take long for him to return to that mansion, from where he soon teleported to the Spatial Kingdom.
‘Time to use my music on those soldiers…’ He thought to himself as he walked towards his goal. ‘After that, I will continue painting that artwork.’
