Chapter 52 52: Just Let Me Sleep Tonight!

There were several different types of dwellings, including adobes, straw roof homes, and other sorts of houses, at the very edge of the city; these had to be the farm residences on the outskirts of the city.

As as I really approached the palace that Alex was standing on, the surrounding buildings became increasingly opulent in both their architectural design and the materials that they used.

The wealthy people evidently lived in places that were closer to the palace, while the less fortunate people lived in the outskirts of the city.

Alex observed that the city was built on multiple levels, the outskirts being the lowest level of all. However, the closer one got to the palace, the higher one had to climb in order to reach it.

That would undoubtedly come in handy in the event that this city was subjected to a siege or any other form of attack. Alex strained his eyes and was able to make out a number of different squares that appeared to be used for market stalls and local markets of varying types.

Even yet, he was able to pick out several demonic beings flying around the city, despite the fact that they were all dressed in armour. It was clear that the city was something that could only exist in a role-playing game of the fantasy genre.

Aureal was the first to speak after a long period of quiet, "In neither the heavenly realm nor the earthly one could you ever hope to see something like that. I am quite amazed."

The only thing that Lauryn can do is be amazed and nod in agreement with Aureal. Even though Nyssa had previously witnessed sights similar to this one, she commented on this, "This metropolis is extremely impressive, as it was clearly constructed with the intention of hosting future conflicts in mind. The defences are just incredible."

"I was not alive when this city was initially built, but yes, I am told that that was the reason why this city was built. Because they have the best natural defences. There are waterfalls that bring fresh water into the area in case there is a siege, and the terrain definitely gives us an advantage when it comes to raining projectiles on our enemies. The mountains cannot be crossed, not even by flying. Only three times in all of our history have we been assaulted at this location, and one of those times was during the most recent war between angels and demons. They never made it past the middle terrace, no matter how many times they tried." Asmodea seems to have a good understanding of the workings of the city's infrastructure.

"Now that we've arrived, let's make our way inside; I'm sure that all of you are rather exhausted because you didn't get any sleep on the journey here. Batibat needs to get things ready for us as soon as possible." She said this to everyone.

Alex was really worn out, and he was annoyed by the fact that it was at least three in the morning when he entered the portal, but it was already the middle of the day here.

After passing through the entrance, they found themselves inside the palace. It was equally incredible on the inside as it was on the outside.

Exactly what one would anticipate finding at the mansion of a lord. Each and every corridor was filled with opulent carpets, tapestries, and furnishings.

There was not a single doorway that could house a big double door. Alex was also able to catch a glimpse of the palace kitchen, which was loaded to the brim with fresh food and had burning burners and sweaty chefs.

They would halt, walk to the side, bow their heads, and utter the words "My lord" whenever they would come across another person in the hallway.

It appeared that succubi and incubi were the preeminent race in the Land of Lust due to the fact that the majority of the demons they encountered were of these two species. If there weren't any succubi or incubi, it would have been strange for it to be termed the 'land of lust.' If there were, though, it would have been odd.

They were escorted to a room that gave off the impression of being a luxurious bedroom.

"Alex, you have taken possession of the master bedroom that belonged to the former lord. You are free to contact me whenever you like... You may have whatever you want, in all honesty. It is your country, whenever everything is said and done."

"Don't make fun of me in front of other people like that... I haven't quite gotten used to the idea that I run a full nation just yet." Alex said it embarrassingly.

"Oh, not just a nation, but the entirety of the world. The entirety of this realm is included within the confines of the Land of Lust. Because each of the seven rings is in its own realm, we must use portals in order to move between them."

"This is fantastic..."

"And as for you three ladies, I'm going to presume that you'll be coming into the bedroom with us?"

"Of course I will, seeing as how I'm married to him... or that it soon will be!"

"Yes... In order to keep Master safe, I have to stay in the room with him when he sleeps."

"It wouldn't hurt for me to get in on the action," she said.

Each of Nyssa, Aureal, and Lauryn responded in turn to the question. Alex held out hope that he might be able to get some sleep eventually.

Alas, it turned out to be a fruitless line of reasoning. He was well aware that it would be next to impossible to persuade such determined women.

'Would it be possible for them to let him sleep tonight?' Alex thought, he was so exhausted that he was on the verge of passing out.

"Okay, because I am aware that it will be impossible to refuse entry to any of you, at least allow me to get some sleep tonight. I'm exhausted, I need to get some rest, and I'll comply with whatever you want from me tomorrow..." Alex was aware of his error, and he attempted to make amends for it.

"No, don't worry about anything. I don't care what you want to do. Just let me sleep tonight." Alex assured every lady.
