Kazuki and his harem spent the next few days exploring the kingdom of Aradon, marveling at the sights and sounds of the bustling city. They visited markets and shops, tasted exotic foods, and watched street performers. Princess Akane even managed to find a magic shop, where she purchased new spells to add to her repertoire.
But despite the distraction of the city, Kazuki couldn't shake the thought of returning to Avaloria. He knew that time was of the essence and he couldn't afford to waste any more of it. He shared his concerns with his harem, who all agreed that it was time to head back.
Before they left, they decided to pay a visit to the royal library to gather as much information as they could about the enemy they were facing. The library was a magnificent structure, with towering shelves filled with books and manuscripts. They spent hours pouring over tomes on history, magic, and warfare.
As they were about to leave, they were approached by a young woman who introduced herself as a scribe of the royal court. She told them that she had overheard their conversation and offered to help them in any way she could. Kazuki was hesitant at first, not wanting to involve anyone else in their dangerous mission, but the scribe insisted, telling them that she believed in their cause.
They left the library with a new ally and a newfound sense of purpose. They made their way to the stables, where they found their horses and set off on the long journey back to Avaloria.
As they traveled through the desert, Kazuki couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. He knew that their kingdom was under attack and that every moment counted. They rode for hours on end, only stopping to rest their horses and eat a meager meal.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, they arrived at the outskirts of Avaloria. The sight that greeted them was one of devastation. The once-beautiful fields and forests were now charred and barren, and the air was thick with the stench of smoke and death.
Kazuki and his harem rode into the city, making their way through the rubble and ruins. They searched for survivors and found only a handful. The people were frightened and hungry, and many had lost loved ones.
As they made their way to the palace, they were met by the few remaining guards, who were relieved to see them. Kazuki told them of the agreement he had made with the kingdom of Aradon and the promise of aid.
But even with the promise of help, the task ahead of them was daunting. They knew that they would have to band together with the remaining forces of Avaloria and fight with everything they had.
As they made their way back towards Avaloria, Kazuki and his harem couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation. The task ahead of them was going to be difficult and they knew that there would be many obstacles in their path. However, the promise of help from the kingdom of Aradon had given them renewed hope and they were determined to do everything in their power to save their land.
As they arrived at the capital, they were amazed at the sight that greeted them. The city had been fortified and reinforced, with soldiers patrolling the streets and walls manned by archers. Kazuki knew that this was thanks to the efforts of the remaining forces of Avaloria, who had been working tirelessly to prepare for the impending attack.
The group was welcomed back with open arms, and Kazuki was glad to see that the people of Avaloria had not lost their fighting spirit. They were determined to defend their home, and Kazuki knew that he and his harem would have to work alongside them if they were to stand any chance of victory.
Kazuki met with the remaining leaders of Avaloria, and together they began to plan their strategy for the upcoming battle. They knew that they were outnumbered, but they were determined to use their knowledge of the land and their skills in combat to gain the upper hand.
