Thirteen minutes after Mikahil and Praia were sent to the snowy areaa
Within an underground chamber beneath a colossal tree, twelve women were seated in chairs, with Kileana positioned in the central one.
Each of the twelve women hailed from a different race, bringing an astonishing diversity of abilities and powers with them. There was a slime woman, her malleable body able to adapt to any situation and environment; an enchanting mermaid whose hypnotic voice could influence even the tides; a foxwoman with keen intuition and unknown, formidable magical abilities; an enigmatic shadow woman, capable of moving silently and concealing herself within the shadows; a mighty dragon woman, her imposing flames reflecting her majestic presence; a fairy brimming with an enormous amount of mana, able to bring life and beauty wherever she went.
Among them stood a minotaur woman, possessed of unmatched strength to blaze trails through challenging paths; a wolfwoman with heightened senses and a profound connection to the wild nature; a phoenix woman, whose ability of rebirth carried an aura of hope and renewal; an elemental woman with a body composed of electricity; a Vampire, her exceptional agility and speed matched by a Yokai, shrouded in mystery and gifted with illusory powers.
In that subterranean environment beneath the towering tree, each woman represented a distinct race and bore her unique abilities, forming a circle of power and diversity around Kileana.
"Unfortunately, not all are present... But we can declare it officially that all the women in this room will eventually become Mikahil's wives."
"Unfortunately, not all are here... But we can declare it officially that all the women in this room will eventually become Mikahil's wives," Kileana said, rising to her feet along with the other women. Just then, the door opened, and two more women entered – the catwoman and the elf.
"Sorry for the delay, I was having a meal, hehehe," the catwoman spoke with embarrassment, her ears lowering and her tail curling, attempting to hide.
"My lateness is her fault... She ended up feeling unwell after eating that enormous fish," the elf explained, her expression showing disgust.
"Hehehe, I shouldn't have eaten the whole thing..." The catwoman spoke, pinching her two fingers together, receiving a deadly glare from the other eleven women in the room.
"Huff... We've told you, Katty, you can't just go around eating them like that, their eggs take centuries to hatch," Kileana spoke, placing her hand in front of her face.
"We've had a tremendous job finding a way for them not to go extinct... That's why I dislike the Mæw realm," the fairy said, tapping her thigh disapprovingly, not looking directly at Katty.
"Sorry, sorry, I was so hungry..." Katty spoke with her feline eyes darting around the room, observing everyone's faces – all bearing expressions of disappointment.
"And that's what happens when they turn an apprentice into a queen..." the Slime woman spoke, gazing at Kileana. "We should punish her somehow... and I think it's only fair to make her the last on the list."
Kileana began pondering this, looking at the other women. She spoke, "If everyone agrees, she will be one of the last to receive Mikahil in her realm."
"What?!" Katty shouted, her face frozen in a sad expression. "That's not fair... I could feel that man's gaze on me, why do I have to be the last?"
Without waiting for the others to say anything, the elf lightly patted Katty's back and said, "You brought this on yourself... You knew the rules and still let your hunger override them, it's all your fault."
"Mindreni, you damn witch, do you know how much we've helped your realm in the war, and this is how you repay?" Katty's fists clenched, her voice dripping with anger, yet her face still resembled that of an abandoned cat.
A small electric bolt struck the tip of Katty's left ear. "Shut up, Mindreni, you've done more than enough, acting like her nanny all this time."
"Hahahah, didn't we agree not to tease Katty for being the youngest among us?" the dragon woman spoke with disdainful amusement.
With a stomp on the ground, all the women except Kileana were lifted into the air. After clearing her throat, Kileana said, "Stop this and pay attention." Behind Kileana, a dark shadow emerged from the ground, holding an enormous scythe in its left hand.
Small flames could be seen exhaling from the dragon woman's mouth. "Alright, alright, we're in your realm, we'll behave as you say, girls."
All the others fell silent, which in these meetings meant agreement.
"Great. Now let's settle the last matter of this meeting. And you already know, no fighting in my realm... Let's decide the order in which Mikahil will visit each realm to find the bearers of the first descendants."
After Kileana finished speaking, the eyes of all the girls sparkled, and a sudden thirst for blood emanated from each of them, dominating the room.
"Unfortunately, we already know who the second and last will be... But the third one," the elf spoke, squeezing her fan so hard it shattered.
The vampire, with green eyes and long black hair flowing down to her thighs, said, "It's your fault for taking so long, I've already got everything organized with the perfect choice for the bearer of the first descendant, along with other carefully selected ones to welcome him warmly, hohoho."
"Damned vampire..." the minotaur woman's surroundings seemed to be breaking apart.
The massive dark figure behind Kileana moved its right arm, which held a huge black cloak that completely covered its body, causing the entire room to be shrouded in its darkness. Kileana's red eyes seemed like two ruby stones amidst the obscurity. "I've said it before, no fights... Let's resolve all of this peacefully."
A few hours had passed, and Kileana was now in her office, sitting on top of her desk. She spoke, "Perfect, time to call those two again. Come on, my dear Mikahil, and I hope you've done your job well."
Kileana brought her palms together, creating a multicolored sphere that morphed in various shapes until it turned completely white, taking the form of a perfect sphere.
"And it's better if you haven't left the Cabin," Kileana said after which the sphere began to glow intensely, and the sound of finger snapping echoed.
When the glow dissipated, Mikahil and Praia would appear seated on the ground, looking at Kileana. She smiled, picking up a pie next to her and addressed them, "Very good, you seem to have done exactly what you were supposed to. Why don't we celebrate?" Kileana paused briefly before continuing, "By enjoying a cream pie."
Praia and Mikahil exchanged puzzled glances, both sensing something unusual in Kileana's behavior, but for different reasons.
'Is this something to celebrate? Mother... Have you lost your mind?' Praia thought, seeming to regain her sanity.
'This woman... I can't believe she made this pie just for this little joke. She's truly dangerous,' Mikahil thought, realizing Kileana's gaze was on him.
