"Alright, everything is set up. We can use this Outing Portal to traverse between our conquered kingdoms. This library in Idrisid doesn't have information about the power of a God-Emperor so we will need to go back to Luceros, I'll stay in this Kingdom and try to find more soldiers and knights to add to the army." Felix said.
"Alright, I'll see you when I see you." I smiled then walked into the portal, teleporting back to Luceros.
Felix walked off and left the area. Charlotte peeked into the room and Raven sighed that she was being dragged along with her. Midnight was also confused on why she was dragged along.
"Is there any reason why you decided to drag me with you?" Midnight asked.
"Because I need you two as my wing-women. I need you to sell the idea on how great I am." Charlotte said.
"First off, you're narcissistic and I don't know how anyone could like you and two, I don't even know you like that." Midnight sighed. "This is a waste of time."
"You're seeking a new mate right? My King will happily take you in as a mate." Charlotte said.
Midnight thought about the words I told her in the village about me helping take care of her children. She sighed and also remembered her children are dead. "Fine..."
"This is so stupid." Raven said.
"Let's go~" Charlotte said then walked to the portal and walked inside.
Raven and Midnight followed behind and entered the portal as well. The three of them were transported to Luceros Harber City. Charlotte looked at the sign and noticed the location's name.
"Eh?! This is not where I wanted to go!" Charlotte groaned loudly.
"Well this is not a pretty predicament." Raven said.
I walked into the private library in my citadel then noticed a Mammalian nibbling on paper and crossed my arms. She looked incredibly cute while nibbling on the paper. She seemed so happy doing it.
She had white wool like hair, green eyes, sheep ears and horns, as well as wore glasses. She had a pretty curvaceous body with large breasts. She had a Royal Crest on her left hand. She wore a green and white striped dress with a white short cloak around her shoulder with cotton accents on the edges and collar, white leggings and brown boots.
I walked over to her and she heard my footsteps then got excited and shy. She hid the book she was nibbling on behind her back and blushed.
"Baa!! G-God-Emperor! I didn't expect to see you at the library today!" The sheep woman said.
"I don't think I've seen you around before. What's your name?" I asked.
"The late Goddess-Queen of Luceros...she called me Snowflake when she found me. So my name is Snowflake, baa.." Snowflake said.
"Come here." I said.
Snowflake slowly walked to me, thinking she was in trouble. She stopped in front of me then watched me reach behind her and take the book.
I looked at the book and opened it, noticing the pages were empty. "You eat books?"
"I-It's a bad habit of mine...It used to be a coping mechanism but now it's something I do everyday.." Snowflake said then looked at me.
I set the books down then held her arms gently. She was extremely tense and I gave her a reassuring smile. "You can relax, Snow. I'm not gonna hurt you at all. I've just come to see if there's a book about the history of the God-Emperors and Goddess-Empresses."
"O-Oh..." Snowflake said then calmed down and cleared her throat. She pointed at a book shelf to the right. "There's a book there that talks all about the history of the God-Emperors and Goddess-Empresses written by the First God-Emperor. It should explain everything about what you are and what your powers are and things."
I nodded then rubbed her head. She blushed and closed her eyes then I walked by her to the bookshelf. I searched the bookshelf and found the book then walked to a table and sat down. Snowflake shyly approached me with her chewed book in her hand then sat beside me. I looked at her and smiled then scooted the book over so she could see it too. We read the book together.
"The God-Emperor or Goddess-Empress are the strongest versions of Rulers there are in this world. We are seen as Gods and Goddesses in the kingdom, worshipped by those who truly believe in what we can do. Our goal is to be the savior of our world by keeping the balance even if it means becoming a Divine Tyrant, A Type of God-Emperor that used their power to enslave and conquer those who disrupted the balance. A Divine Tyrant is only known for their overwhelming cruelty and domination of the world. The Fourth God-Emperor was a Divine Tyrant that started a World War."
"A God-Emperor is also capable of becoming an actual God if the right requirements are met such as having the Crown of Eternity, The weapons of the previous God-Emperors and Goddess-Empresses, and Holy Temple of Divination awakened. Only the ninth God-Emperor was able to achieve this."
"Oh!~ This is my favorite part of the book, baa~" Snowflake said excitedly.
I continued reading and flipped to the next chapter.
"The God-Emperor has an array of powers that will lead them to being undefeatable unless challenged by those of equal strength or higher. These powers include, Divinity, Deity Soul, Illusionary Perfection, Bestowed Godhood, Master of All, Limitless Power Manipulation, Talent Embodiment, Conquest Embodiment, Legendary Status, Ultimate Being, and Ultimate Power. There are much more but they vastly vary between God-Emperors and Goddess-Empresses as not all of us were human or tyrants."
"If you are reading this book and were able to open it in the first place, that means you are a new God-Emperor or Goddess-Empress and need guidance on how to use your powers to their fullest potential. The secret is the Willpower within. You've been given the ingredients for your power, now it's up to you to make something out of it. You are only as strong as you make yourself to be. This book has a map on it locating where the Holy Temple of Divination is located. You will need Seven Divine Orbs to awaken it, but I doubt you need to become a God or Goddess since you are already one by default. Keep the Luceros Bloodline strong, oh yeah and when comes to marriage, royal descent or linage wouldn't matter since all of your children will be Demigods either way. That's about it."
I closed the book and looked at the back of the book where it showed where the temple was located. "The Temple is under the throne?"
"Mhm, but out of the now sixteen Rulers of Luceros only the ninth Ruler succeeded." Snowflake said.
"I actually want to tap into my power now, but Felix is still in Idrisid." I said then noticed Charlotte walking into the library panting and sweating.
"Fi- Finally- Give me a second." Charlotte panted and leaned against the desk.
"I can't believe you managed to piss off a dragon and get attacked by a gang of Boxing Kangaroos." Raven said. "All to see God-Emperor Ares. Your life is an adventure.."
Midnight walked into the library and dusted herself off then looked ahead and noticed me and Snowflake. Snowflake screamed and hid under the table after noticing Midnight.
"Wolf! Wolf!" Snowflake said in a panicked manner.
Midnight rose an eyebrow and looked confused. "Come on, you believe in that old fairytale that all of us just eat your Caprine Species? Us Wolf Species have way better food to hunt and kill."
"I'm an Ovis Species thank you and yes! Your kind has been proven to eat my kind out of pure instinct!" Snowflake said under the table.
"Man." Midnight sighed.
Charlotte walked over to me and placed her hand on the table. "Me. You. Marriage Mark. Now! I have been waiting until after the battle to ask you to marry me."
I opened the book and scanned through the marriage requirements.
"And no you don't need this whole marriage ceremony to be married. All the spouse needs is the Marriage Mark meaning you can get married in your bathroom or in the ocean."
I looked back at Charlotte. "Why do you want to marry me so badly? We literally met about a week ago."
"How hard is it for you to understand? I got attacked by Kangaroos for you. I would never go through such lengths for ANYONE on this damn planet. I even got attacked by a fucking DRAGON!" Charlotte whined.
"That's very true and it was hilarious." Raven said.
"It just looked really sad to me." Midnight shrugged.
I looked at Charlotte and chuckled. "Wow, a Kangaroo and a Dragon huh. You must really want this badly."
"It's always been a dream to marry you since the day your name was said and you came to my kingdom with your father to form an alliance. You may not remember me, but I always remembered you..~" Charlotte said then held my shoulders.
"Let's just say I do take your hand and mark you as mine. What can you offer me? I only accept the best..~" I said.
"Besides my body and undying loyalty?" She asked.
"Mhm." I nodded.
"Well I am a princess who can fight so I can offer you my protection and the best children this world will ever see in this life." Charlotte smiled.
"Well that's a hard deal to pass on." I chuckled.
"Hold it!" Midnight said then walked ahead. "Actually, I'm gonna stop you here Miss Narcissist because I feel like I am a better choice for a wife."
"He's actually kinda married already so you'll be his second wife. Lulu is pretty much Top Wife." Raven said.
"Top Wife?! That Bovine?! There's no way she's a top wife when I'm around the more superior woman!" Charlotte asked.
'Sounded a little y'know outta pocket but I don't know.' I thought to myself.
"No I deserve to be Top Wife more than anyone of you. I am actually a Princess!" Charlotte scoffed.
Snowflake crawled from under the table then looked at Midnight and Charlotte. "You two are fighting for who becomes his next wife?"
"God-Emperor Ares has offered to take care of my children before the news broke that they are dead so I know he is generous plus he's a perfect mate! Hybrids are scientifically proven to be stronger than purebreds!" Midnight said.
"If that's the case then you should be competing with Lulu for Top Wife since she's Half Mammalian and Human." Raven said, only fueling the flames more.
"Raven!" I called out to her.
"Great idea! God-Emperor not only will I compete against this Failed Princess, but I will also be proving myself for Top Wife!" Midnight said.
"Failed Princess! Ha! For a woman who doesn't bare a Royal Crest, you sure talk big!" Charlotte scoffed.
"If you are competing I want in too, it sounds fun! I wonder what activities we will commence in." Snowflake smiled innocently.
"Trust me, Snowflake...you do not want to join this." I said. "While you two argue I have errands to run really quick, so I'll see you two later."
"When you return, this competition starts!" Charlotte said.
"Mhm." I smiled then stood up and left the library.
I made my way to the giant tower and walked inside, walking to the Outing Portal. I walked inside then was transported to Luceros Harber City. I walked to the dock area and noticed Celica standing on the dock then walked to her. I tapped her shoulder and she turned around to look at me.
"Hey..~" I said and smiled.
"You're back, I've been waiting here for days waiting to see your face again..~ I told my parents about our encounter and they were overjoyed to the point where they asked if you offered to marry me." Celica giggled softly.
I chuckled and looked out in the distance at the ocean. "We defeated and conquered the Idrisid Kingdom. Now I have so much free time than I know what to do with."
"Oh? How about coming to Vitalis? It's an unaffiliated Kingdom and if you form an alliance with us, you'll be able to come there any time you like with the Outing Portal." Celica looked at me.
"Is that how you come here?" I asked and looked at her.
"Yeah..~ I'm actual the Princess of the Kingdom so I have access to it." Celica smiled.
"I see..~ Well Princess, your parents were delighted about me so will you be my wife?~" I asked and held my hand out to her.
Celica blushed and smiled. "Wow you move fast. We barely know anything about each other..~"
"Well we can have a lot of time to know each other when we're together, casually and intimately..~" I said then moved my eyebrow up and down.
Celica blushed even more. "I didn't know you were such a smooth talker..~ You're a real charmer aren't you..~"
"Heh...I know you like that I am..~" I smirked.
"Yeah, it's very attractive. Most princes and kings don't have this degree of charm to them other than the old way of charming women. Take me back to your kingdom, I'll happily marry you since my parents also want this. This will also unite our Kingdoms..~" Celica smiled then held my hand.
I smiled and nodded then used my Crest of Divinity to mark her. "You'll be able to meet my other wife, she's very nice. Introverted and shy but nice."
Celica nodded then I lead her back to the Outing Portal. We walked into the portal and were transported back to the citadel of Luceros. I led her back to the castle and we walked inside and I asked a maid to take us to Lulu. She told me Lulu was in the hot springs and she could take Celica there. I nodded and Celica went with the maid to the hot springs.
"I guess there's nothing I can do to stop Charlotte and Midnight from competing with one another and potentially Celica an Lulu. Something is telling me this harem is about to be very interesting. At least nothing is too out of control yet." I said then went to find Charlotte and Midnight.
