"Although it's a little late to say this, all my servants seem to be very powerful,"
Leon said with a subtle expression.
He was afraid there was no group of maids in the world as beautiful and powerful as his, so much so that they were stronger than the military forces of some small countries.
For example, the Kingdom of Natra, located at the northernmost part of the map, was said to have fewer than 10,000 soldiers. At that level, only the maids of his castle could annihilate that kingdom.
"By the way, I really want to touch Shino's cat ears again. When I played with them before, they were great. Well, I'm her master, right? I shouldn't be rejected."
Leon looked at the girl who had exchanged herself to become a maid. He felt a slight itch... He wanted to pet this cat.
Leon really liked furry creatures such as cats, lions, Dvalin, etc... It seemed the more he thought about it, the more outrageous it became.
In short, Leon now wanted a pet.
It could heal the body and mind that had been feeling a little tired lately. If he wanted to raise a cat or dog, the best substitute for a cat — Catwoman — was right in front of him!
He really wanted her.
[If possible, I would like to touch the ears, the tail, and the paws.]
Well, this breed didn't seem to have claws, and her hands and feet were similar to a human's.
Their tails could only be touched by trusted people...
Thinking about it, Leon became a little speechless. The reason he took the initiative to capture a girl for the first time was just to play with a cat. He could only say he was truly worthy of her.
Although his mind was filled with these strange thoughts,
he didn't forget about business. At this moment, Leon was busy dealing with the many messages sent by Alpha,
especially regarding the takeover of other kingdoms that were about to be implemented.
Night Raid had already laid the foundations for Midgar and was just waiting for him to go, in the name of diplomacy, before officially launching the plan.
"But it's not just us; the Diablos Cult is also taking their own measures. Well, by then, we'll get them all at once."
Leon wasn't very concerned and casually threw the documents in his hand onto the table. They contained information about people worth paying attention to when he arrived at the Knights' Kingdom.
The first princess and the second princess, who inherited the blood of heroes but had not yet awakened, knights who seemed to have been infiltrated by Diablos worshippers, and the president of a certain gym suspected of being a cult member...
It was very problematic, but Leon still reached a harmless conclusion.
Be it conspiracy or trickery,
once he arrived, there would be no problem sweeping them all away with absolute force.
"But even if it's just a surface excuse, after all, I will be communicating in the name of my kingdom. I can't lose my dignity. I have to think about how to make a magnificent appearance... I could gather a lot of Dvalin mounts when the time comes."
The destination for this exchange was the Magic Swordsman Academy in the Midgar Kingdom. To simplify, he would study there for a while.
Leon felt that to not lose face for his own kingdom, he had to think of a dominating way to present himself.
These pretentious appearances in his past life were usually done with luxury cars and beautiful women. Although there were no luxury cars in this world, there were other means of transportation.
For example, carriages and the like. The nobles' favorite unicorn-drawn carriages were equivalent to supercars in his past life.
So, riding a dragon would be the equivalent of arriving by private jet at school, which was super cool just to imagine.
[In fact, I also wanted to try using dragons to pull my carriage. Unfortunately, I haven't found enough dragons.]
Leon then decided to ask Dvalin if he could find out where dragons lived.
When the time came, he would make a friendly visit and ask if they would like to help pull his carriage.
"Leon-chan~!"
"Highness, sorry to bother you."
"Leon, the team selection has concluded."
At this point, three female voices emerged, and he immediately recognized them as Anis, Euphilia, and Sylphine.
It seemed that the talent selection meeting had produced its results. Leon got up from the couch with expectation, eager to meet the subordinates who would soon serve under his command.
But when he actually saw them...
Leon's expression suddenly became a little strange. He looked at the three women who had been the judges with a subtle expression, as if silently asking what the situation was.
First, it had taken two days to select just five people.
Secondly, all five were girls.
And they were either beautiful or cute...
[Ahem, it's not that I dislike it, but this is a little different from what I expected. Although maybe I'm not in a position to say that, I feel there's something fishy here...]
[But Anis, Euphie, and Sylphine, are you sure this was the result of a fair selection? Are the men of our kingdom so weak?]
"Of course, this was not a fair result, but during the selection, all the men were eliminated in the first round, leaving only women to continue on the national team," Anis said, showing a dissatisfied expression.
What else could Leon say?
He had thought it was his sister who had pulled some unprecedented stunt again, but it turned out it was actually an operation initiated by Sylphine... allowing only women to participate in the national team.
Queen Sylphine, are you sure you were choosing subordinates and not wives?
"Leon, don't blame me, there's a very good reason why I did it."
"Ahem, and what reason made you choose only girls?"
"It's to ensure their loyalty. For your great cause, you first need loyal subordinates, and second, people with excellent skills," Sylphine said with righteousness.
After thinking silently for a moment, he asked, "And what does that have to do with choosing only girls?"
"Because of your charm, Leon. If you chose men, there would be a risk of betrayal. But if you choose girls, they will definitely be impressed by your charm. That way, they definitely won't betray you."
Leon was stunned. He gave a silent thumbs-up, meaning, "What you said makes sense; I don't even know how to refute it."
Euphilia and Anis beside him sighed deeply, feeling sorry for not being able to prevent such an outcome.
"So let me introduce them to you."
Sylphine clapped her hands and said.
Five charming girls stepped forward. Unlike the delicate daughters seen at banquets, they all carried the heroic spirit of warriors.
"Highness, I'm Jean Gunnhild, from the Gunnhild family of Mondstadt," said the blonde girl.
"Highness, my name is Noelle, also from Mondstadt," said the girl with short silver hair.
"Highness, my name is Asuna Yuuki, second daughter of Count Yuuki's family," said the girl with long brown hair.
"Highness, my name is Alice Zuberg, from Rulid Village," said another blonde girl.
"My name is Esdeath, and I come from a northern border village," said the woman with long water-blue hair.
The lineup was luxurious from all angles.
Leon squinted slightly, still suspicious that Sylphine had selected wives for him rather than subordinates...
