During the last five years, Nox had fed all his pets with the beast cores he had obtained during the beast tide, bringing every one of them to intermediate tier, and the ant scourge queen to king tier.
Though she didn't spend much time with them because she was busy running the ant colony and managing Nox's private security force that protected both the Cromwell Barony and the Armstrong Duchy.
Yes, the Armstrong family was now one of Nox's top priorities. Nathan was only a duke in name, but he was the one who ruled and handled all the affairs.
Even though the ant queen didn't fight beside him, Nox felt it was a worthwhile investment and had already promised himself to continue supplying the ant queen with resources, eventually turning her into an Elemental Beast.
After all, he was certain that somewhere, sometime in the future, he would call for her help, and when that time arrived, he wanted her to be the best version of herself.
