After the announcement from the King, more people started to disperse, the time already near midnight. Some already left the palace, exhausted yet pleased from the connection they make while some anxious as they now knew of the trial placed by the King for the succession competition.
Ryker was among the last one that left, one servant giving him a communication token while he receive several message from the King, and Grand Duke, mostly on his interaction with the daughter.
He had to emphasize he did not plan on making a move unless they wish to further their relationship from brother's friend slash ally, to something more, which seem to placate the two Sovereign for now.
Which is good, as he did not want to leave the kingdom when he just settled in nicely here.

When he arrive at his home, he could sense the rest of inhabitants already asleep, with even the servants calling it a night.
He was about to do the same thing before Natali pulled him. He can easily break free but decided to humor the servant. When they reach one of the servant room, Natali's room from the size of it, he was pushed on the bed, sitting on it before the servant stood in front of him.
Because of their height difference, only when he was sitting did they manage to see eye-to-eye, in literal cases this time. Natali clearly had something to say, by how she seemed trying to think of the words he want to say.
Ryker was about to ask what is this all about, though he could guess where this will end up with, he is not that dense or stupid, when she finally said it, "I love you, Master!"
Her face turned bright red after her declaration and she looked like she was about to dig a hole and hid herself in it. But Ryker will not let such thing happened. His arms wrapped around her petite body, causing her to stiffen before she was pulled into his embrace, the two sharing a deep kiss.
One that get heated when Natali used her tongue to prod him mouth, something he returned. The end result is that the older but less experienced servant find herself being dominated by him, in term of tongue at least.
As the two kissed, Ryker's hand crawled all over her body, removing every garment sticking to it. The last one was her underwear, to which he find it very arousing, as she had wear a very sensual purple lingerie.
Seeing how he looked at him like a fine sculpture, Natali looked away, though her cheek showed how much she blush from being exposed to his gaze.
His hand cupped her cheek before forcing her to look at him, his head lowered as they share another kiss. His other hand stop on her left peak. Despite her being shorter than his other lovers, her size is not something to scoff at, being almost comparable to Ina, maybe even bigger than his first lover.
The servant let out an aroused moan as her breast was kneaded by his skill hand, shaping it into what his heart desire. His hand released her cheek, before dropping into her panties and touching her pink pearl, causing her to jolt from the touch on the bundle of nerve.
Natali soon find herself lying on the bed, as his hands and mouth target her pink pearl and nipples. His mouth especially eager to suck on the red tip, even giving it a little nibble that make her slightly crazy.
As for his hands, both are doing their jobs on tormenting her with pleasure, her body spasming as the hands make her feel thing she could not feel when she pleasured herself.
"Oh, how old are you?" he asked. After all, despite how young she might look, she should reach her fifties or so.
"68," she said with a hint of shame in her voice. Considering how far the difference in age between the two of them, it could lead to such thing. Then again, it is only complied with mortals. As for cultivators, they did not really care for age gap, unless if the person in question is too young.
Considering how each major realm in the Genesis Grand realm added 10 to 30 years to a cultivators lifespan, when one reach the Genesis Sea, the cultivator could live up to 300 years.
So, in comparison, she is like in her twenties for a mortal.
"That's why you want to do it?" he asked. "You starting to worry about your age?" which for him, is a stupid thing to worry about. Then again, he was still young and reach the World Source realm through a lot of resources so he did not really worried about such thing.
"Well, I find you very handsome," he nodded, he may not be vain, but he still knew in term of looks, he could be at the very top. "But, I don't want just that with my partner. I also want him to be powerful, or at least have potential to be powerful,"
Which is not surprising. After all, similar to how wealth attract mortal woman, powerful cultivators attract the admiration of other cultivators, some of it even translated to love.
"Then, I want someone who is kind, or at least will treat me well. With how many lovers you have and how well you treated them, I think you will be the best person get as a lover," she told her final reasoning before kissing his lips.
"Oh, so you have been looking at us using the image transmission crystals," her face paled, before it turn into a blush.
"N-no! One of my subordinates did it and I planned to remove it but you suddenly did it and what am I saying-" as she began to mumble, Ryker slowly shift until he was on top of hers, the platinum blonde woman covering her face when she realize how close and how it would look to others if anyone barge in.
"I already covered the room with Sound-Sealing Formation and the door had been sealed with Earth Lock Formation, so you did not have to worry about anyone barging in,"
His voice soon turn into a sinister take,
"You only have to worry about the beast you are trapped with,"
