I have a question. If I open a Patreon account alongside Ko-fi, will anyone be interested in it as I've heard from some experienced authors here that people prefer Patreon over Ko-fi. What are your thoughts?

"It's her again!" Haru did not forget this woman who had great ambitions. Aria was one of the Top-Level Castle Lords, with Golden War Lions as her troops. During the novice period, she won the acclaim of the entire world with her cheap food. After that, she did a series of actions to helped her become famous again and again.
Amongst the castle forces, Aria's popularity was second only to Haru. She was revered as a Goddess by countless Castle Lords! Based on this, Haru believed that this woman was no ordinary person. She had great ambitions. Of course, this was understandable. After all, this was a cruel world and it was enough to spawn all sorts of people.
Haru even believed that in the later stages, the titles 'Queen' and 'Emperess' would appear on the heads of many women. They would also build a dynasty that would not be much worse than men. As for Aria, she was the strongest among the female Castle Lords. Even during the Beast Tide event that had just ended, Aria was still able to suppress countless Castle Lords, breaking into the top ten of the Combat Strength Rankings. This reflected the strength of a woman and her ambition for the future.
"She wants to add me as a friend?" Haru looked at the friend request from Aria. Unlike the other Castle Lords, Aria did not want to sell him the [Troop Summoning Blueprint] but wanted to give it to him. She wanted to make him a friend.
"She sure is stubborn!" Haru fell silent. During this time, he would reject a large number of Castle Lords who wanted to add him as a friend every day. He occasionally paid attention to it. Among the Castle Lords that he rejected, Aria seemed to have sent a friend request every time. In his eyes, this was very persistent. There seemed to be a feeling of not not giving up until she reaches her goal.
Finally, he thought for a moment. Haru did not refuse and agreed It was difficult to resist the temptation of the [Troop Summoning Blueprint]. Under the temptation of this blueprint, even a madman would accept a friend request.
…
Endless Prairies: Golden Castle.
The Beast Tide battle had long ended. Aria was cleaning up the battlefield with her Golden War Lions. She had also lost seven or eight Golden War Lions in the Beast Tide this time. The Troop Summoning Blueprint that she had originally obtained could completely make up for her casualties. However, she still chose to use the blueprints in exchange for an opportunity to get in touch with Haru.
The other reason was that she wanted to prove herself. As long as it was something that Aria wanted to do, she would succeed even if it cost her a lot!
"The harvest was great!" A smile appeared on Aria's beautiful face. Her face was still stained with blood, and the blood of the wild monsters also dyed the high-ranked armor on her body red. This gave her a strange beauty.
"There's new news! Could it be that the Alliance is looking for me?" Aria opened the friend list. Her expression on her beautiful face froze. At the same time, her pupils shrank and gradually widened, revealing a trace of joy.
"As expected, even Haru, who is recognized as the strongest Castle Lord, cannot resist the temptation of the Troop Summoning Blueprint." The corners of her lips curled up in a stunning arc. After adding him as a friend, she did not hesitate and immediately sent a message to Haru. "It was not easy but you, the strongest Castle Lord, have finally added me as a friend! Do you know how many times I've applied?"
Haru: "I'm sorry, there are too many people who send me friend requests. I refused all of them."
"I understand!" Aria acknowledged this reason. Many people applied to add him as a friend every day. Naturally, it would be difficult to add Haru's friend. Up until now, there seemed to be only a single girl named Lily. She was considered to be the closest person to Haru but at the same time, no one had been added as her friend too. Haru and Lily seemed to be independent of the Castle Faction.
Haru said, "Let's get down to business. At what cost will you sell the Troop Summoning Blueprint?"
Aria replied, "I want to give it to you for free."
Haru: "Free items are always the most expensive, let's settle on a price!"
Aria raised her eyebrows. After some thought, she replied.
"Haru, I sincerely want to invite you to join our High Lords Council! Up until now, High Lords Council has nearly four hundred Top-Level Castle Lords! In the future, it will become the strongest alliance on the endless continent." She told the truth.
"The original intention of High Lords Council was to fight against your Angel Army but I hope that we can become allies and sweep across the Endless Continent together! After you join the Alliance, the Alliance will consider giving you a seat as an Arbiter!"
"The Arbiters are the upper management of the Alliance! As long as you join our High Lords Council, you will have an incredibly powerful background and will be able to rapidly develop your Angel Castle soon!"
…
In the Angel Castle Haru looked at the reply from Aria. Her words were not exaggerated. Every Top-Level Castle Lord had a bright future, so it was not difficult to create a powerful faction. Among the Billions of Castle Lords, the number of Castle Lords with Top-Level troops didn't exceed 10,000. In this newly established High Lords Council, there were nearly 400 Top-Level Castle Lords. How many Top-Level Castle Lords would join this Alliance in the future?
One could foresee that as long as they managed it properly, there would not be too much trouble that would cause the High Lords Council to collapse. There was no doubt that High Lords Council would become the strongest Alliance on the Endless Continent and the Arbiter position was an extremely attractive offer.
However, with the development of High Lords Council, the High-Level council members would be equivalent to standing at the peak of the castle's power. They would also have a terrifying power. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that it could shake the world. In this position, any Castle Lord would not be able to resist the temptation. They would not hesitate to join the High Lords Council.
However, Haru refused. Joining the High Lords Council would be like bowing to the top Castle Lords who had formed High Lords Council to fight him. Although he did not care about that, he still wanted to see it. Was his Angel Castle stronger, or was High Lords Council stronger!
Haru: "Give me a new price!"
Aria: "Didn't you think about it? I feel that High Lords Council has a lot of prospects. As long as we stand together, our alliance will be invincible! Even if it's the local empire in the central region, it can still be defeated!"
Haru: "Not for now."
Aria was helpless. However, she was already mentally prepared. As the strongest Castle Lord Haru was not someone who could be draw in with just a few words. Aria was not surprised by Haru's rejection.
Aria: "Then we'll talk about it later! As for the Troop Summoning Blueprint, I'll give them to you and just be your friend."
Haru: "Make an offer!"
She looked at the crude reply and rubbed her forehead. It was not easy to become friends and play nice with Haru. Aria thought about it and replied, "300 Power Stones."
This was a friend's price. To the Castle Lord at the bottom, the Troop Summoning Blueprint was not worth 300 Power Stones. However, it was worth at least five hundred Power Stones to the Top-Level Castle Lord while for Haru, its currently exceeded even 1,000 Power Stones.
After all, his troops were Angels. If Aria asked for 1,000 Power Stones, Haru would immediately buy it. It was nothing more than deleting her as a friend after the deal. Aria also knew this, so to build a good relationship with Haru, she did not give him an expensive price.
Haru: "Deal!"
"Alright!" Following this, Aria placed the [Troop Summoning Blueprint] in the trading area and set the price at 300 Power Stones. She also designated Haru as the buyer. Aria could see that the [Troop Summoning Blueprint] had disappeared from the trading area. Moreover, there was information that indicated that she had obtained 300 Power Stones.
She did not feel distressed. To her, she could recruit troops daily, but her friendship with Haru was of great importance. She chatted with Haru. Suddenly, Aria seemed to think of something and couldn't hold back her curiosity. She asked, "Can you reveal what the unique reward for the Beast Tide was?"
Haru: "You want to know?"
Aria: "Hmm"
Haru: "Divine Artifact, Dynasty Heart!"
Divine Artifact! Aria took a deep breath. She felt that the Dynasty Heart had an important relationship with establishing a Kingdom or even an Empire.
