The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-1256-30041322

A day later, the emperor had already been notified of Minos' return to Payton and authorized Gloria's parents to take this young man to his home for lunch without delay.

With this, Minos and his wives were already preparing to go and visit the most important person in the entire Flaming Empire, having already settled some business concerning spiritual techniques.

But while they were getting ready, Zoe was nearby, talking to them about this moment.

"You have to be careful. The imperial family is unlike organizations where you can behave as you please!" Gloria's cousin said to Minos and Abby, these two young people from the poor northern region.

Ruth and Gloria did not need to be told about this since they were from the Empire and certainly knew how to follow local etiquette and fear the right people.

"We know, Zoe..." Abby commented. "Do you think we're just going to walk into that palace like we own the world? We have common sense!"

"I don't know..." That silver-haired young woman laughed. "But be careful not to let that man near the princess. She is gorgeous, and a womanizer like him could end up bringing trouble to all of you by not knowing how to control himself."

Zoe had talked to Gloria several times about Minos in the past and had heard stories from Ruth and Abby since she met them. So, she knew how the husband of these women was, having even seen that he did not forgive even her...

Minos always seemed ready to flirt with her when they met, always making her feel curious and wanting to get closer to him. Thus, even though she had known him for such a short time, she already understood that this guy was dangerous around women and would not let any beauty pass by him.

He laughed as he heard Zoe's comment, winking at her.

As Zoe blushed, the three wives of Minos looked at each other, worried about this princess. Especially Gloria, who knew Isabella.

'Bella has a perfect body, one that has Minos' favorite measurements...' She remembered that woman who had played with her when she was a child and met her in various situations during her years here in the Empire.

Gloria, as well as Abby and Ruth, knew well Minos' preferences. So, it was easy for this redhead to know that her husband would be attracted to Isabella...

Hence, she showed her concern in her gaze at those other two.

'We don't have anything to do. We had enough fun earlier today...' Ruth thought about it as she showed her inability to think of something for them to do in her expression.

As sexually active spouses, they did their activities at least twice daily. Besides, sometimes Minos would look for one of them when the others were training or busy, so he had even more action in his days.

In this way, they were already doing their best to calm the burning flames in Minos' heart, and Ruth, like those two, had nothing else to do in this situation.

Abby then looked at Minos and said. "You better put your thoughts away when you meet this woman. Don't go causing trouble for all of us, OK?"

Minos unfairly looked at Abby and said. "When have I ever caused trouble with this? Why are you acting like this? I've met plenty of beautiful women I haven't connected with!"

"Really? Name one name." Ruth questioned her husband.

"Angela!" Minos remembered this soldier from his army, the former bodyguard of Regina, his poison master. "She's a virgin, yet I've never tried anything with her..."

"The same goes for Celeste. Although married for years to Neal, that woman has always tried to seduce me into going to bed with her." He showed another proof that his wives exaggerated their reactions to his joys.

"Tsk!" Abby turned away, not knowing what else to say to him.

That was true. Minos did not run after every woman that appeared in front of him. But considering the number of women he was in relationships with, people in his surroundings could not help but judge him as a typical womanizer.

"So nothing will happen between you and the princess, right?" Ruth's eyes narrowed as she looked at him.

Minos' eyebrows arched, and he said. "How would I know? I don't even know her! Come on, don't think about such things. You know I'm not the type to force myself on such things..." He walked to their side, trying to finish this conversation.

"Humph!"

"You tried to get me into bed for months, Minos Stuart." The queen of the Black Plain said this as she looked at him thoughtfully.

"Something similar happened to me..." Gloria nodded to Abby.

Gulp!

Minos was silent for a moment and said. "You are exaggerating. Everything happened naturally between us, so don't think about the princess and me. We haven't even met. Maybe I won't like her..."

"We'll keep an eye on you!"

"Sigh..."

'I have to put up with that for a woman I haven't even taken to bed yet...' Minos sighed as he closed his eyes, wondering if that was what marriage was all about.

Luckily, his wives rarely did such a thing, so his married life was terrific.

"Come on. Now that you have talked so much about her, I'm curious to meet this woman..." He said with a cheeky smile on his face before running from there so as not to get caught by his wives.

"Bastard!"

...

Half an hour later...

After arriving at the Edwardstone family's imperial palace, Minos' group soon followed Margot and Joseph to the emperor's residence area, passing through several checkpoints.

On the way there, many people were watching for Minos, as the visit of the King of the Black Plain was already expected.

Since Minos was almost a celebrity to these people, they could not help but look at him with interest, thinking about the things he had done in the northern region.

Stories of the war in the northern region had become a fever in the Empire as soon as that conflict ended. Many local periodicals recounted the phases of the conflict and the accomplishments of the Black Plain Army weekly over months.

Even a book called 'Rogue Ascendant' was written based on the events caused by Minos in the northern region and became a great success in the Empire.

Therefore, although he was weak, Minos was famous in parts of this state where such stories had become widespread, and those who knew he would be there in the palace could not help but watch him.

Amidst the many looks in the surroundings, he arrived at the emperor's residence, where a young redheaded woman with hair a little darker than Gloria's welcomed them at the entrance door.

"Welcome to my residence, Frost family and Stuart family." She said with a smile on her face, first looking at Gloria, then Minos' wives, until her gaze reached this man.

Minos looked her up and down, understanding where Gloria's concern was coming from. 'She truly is a cutie...'
