Chapter 305: The Ships arrive! Time to Depart!
"The Drakkur family don't fuck around..." Lorem spoke with her genuine shock, losing her gentle tone.
"No... They don't." Asura replied.
He looked around and felt a strange feeling because Asura knew the truth. 'Verena, not her mother or Verana, sent these. What is that woman thinking? Did she really kick away the Eastern Empire just to support me?'
"This is amazing!" Lucia cheered. "We'll get to fight on the water with them and their massive weapons of death!"
Though that thought appealed to Asura too, he enjoyed the sound and feeling of vibration through the ship when cannons fired. These were the ones he arranged with the dwarven and foreign merchants to form in Wolfsheim. 'She went to such a degree to support me? I have to give her a chance...'
"What's the matter, Asura? You look so serious." Lucia poked his cheek, snapping him back to reality.
"Nothing! Just thinking about where the rest of my army is going. We don't know how many people will die in the next few weeks... I just want to make sure you are all beside me when I fight."
"So we can see you shine?" Lorem's lips gently pressed against his cheek as she whispered while hugging him tightly, a reassuring and supportive movement. "I will support you until the end, my prince."
Asura's eyes widened as he grasped Lorem's warm hands and Lucia's cool fingers wrapped around his shoulder. He felt their support, love, and devotion toward him.
'They are with me... They will be there beside me, no matter what happens...'
"It's not the time to think about this stuff!" Lucia's energetic voice made him focus on her.
"Yeah, let's continue our date while we can!" Lorem also said, giving him a soft smile.
"Then let's go somewhere else, ladies!" Asura held their hands, and the three ran around the city for several more hours before they went home.

In the queen's chambers, Asura and Vela knelt before the Queen while all of Asura's women were in attendance, along with the Captain and new Vice-captain of the Seventh Unit also joined, the rumours of a commoner academy being created in the Phoenix Glade accepting anyone who reached Stage One spread through the kingdom thanks to the queen's actions.
"Thank you for coming, you two. We have a lot to discuss," The Queen said in her official tone, gesturing for them to sit down instead of kneeling.
Asura took a seat, looking at the people present. "Is it something that we need to keep a secret from the kingdom?"
"Indeed, Prince Asura," The Valkyrie who protected the queen, Epsilon, spoke before giving a polite bow.
The two did not know what would happen; however, with the support of his other brides-to-be and the support of his sister, Asura felt confident in their future.
At the port, Asura looked at the large fleet of ships. They were all equipped with massive cannons, each capable of destroying an enemy ship in a single attack. They had a crew of 100 women on every ship, and a Valkyrie from the third squad led the supporting ships while Ignis and Cynthia's strongest members would protect their main ship together.
"Wow, our ship has double the guns and a magic barrier protecting the hull!" Lorem began to geek out as she touched the pad in her hand, making small bleeping sounds while she rushed to the boarding area.
"Who would have known that Lorem was such a geek with ships?" Lucia muttered while Asura, who stood in his noble attire beside Vela, could only smirk, knowing how she was in the distant past.
Suddenly, the sound of heels tapping against the wooden peer, the salty scent of the sea filling the air as Asura turned to see her... "Helliana?"
With a single black wing on her back, perfect fair skin, a beautiful black dress and straight hair down to her hips. The woman who supported him in secret, even dying and losing most of her soul, all to support him. "Prince Asura... It has been a long time."
"Helliana, what are you doing here?" Lorem asked with her eyes looking shocked.
"Oh, little Lo, you look so cute. Does the ship's technology make you excited?" Helliana gave her a teasing smile.
"Of course, it's amazing!"
"Then you will love what I've brought." She looked at the large warship before a large black magic circle appeared under the vessel, then a strange belt spread from the magic circle and covered the entire ship, forming a strange layer of protection. "It's the residue of a slime king. This reflects and resists all magic below Stage Seven, fufu."
"That's great, Helliana!" Lucia said, her eyes filled with joy.
"Yes, it will make fighting the mages in the east easier. Though we will have to worry about the physical attacks from their cannons," Asura said with his brow furrowed and his hands folded, but it was a relief.
"Tsk, tsk, not just for your ship, but I also have regular residue for the fleet! It only resists Stage Five magic, but if you want it... I want a kiss!" Helliana teased.
Asura shook his head, then grabbed her, and before she could react, he spoke. "You don't have to say that. We will have a long journey ahead of us, so I hope we can spend more time together." Then his lips met hers.
"Damn!?"
"Darling, Another woman!"
"Noo... husband.... kiss me instead."
"Helia!!!!" Lorem shouted before trying to part them.
It seemed a simple kiss triggered the first-wife war.
