Chapter 226 A skirmish, a return to Sedyon
?This is the author. I am returning to writing after a short break. Moreover, I would like to delight you with three chapters for today, which I will release. Of course, special thanks to swcowboy for supporting the book with a donation.
On December 5th, as I wrote this chapter, I saw zero open chapters in the book, which made me sigh heavily...
Enjoy your reading!

Amaria watched with curiosity as Adam and his group began to descend into the forest to catch their breath. The woman was intrigued by their sudden visit and, after some contemplation, realized that they had come to her not of their own accord but due to circumstances. It somehow saddened her.
"Darn, I thought they missed me. After that witch Elizabeth fancied herself the queen of the world, I had to work hard, and now she shows up in my domain," thought Amaria with displeasure, sighing as she recognized the potential consequences if the elves learned of Elizabeth's arrival.
In the eyes of the elven race, Elizabeth, the Queen of Avalonia, was a true villain, doing everything to destroy their race. Because of her, many elves either became widows or lost their relatives and friends. Hatred reached a point where it would be very difficult to restore the situation. Now even human partners in the world of trade have lost opportunities.
Knock-knock. Amaria knocked on the armrest of the throne, and soon a powerful aura surrounded the forest, which then took on a dome-like shape.
"Now, at least, the elves won't feel their aura... I didn't need extra problems on my head," thought Amaria with irritation, getting up from her seat.
She smiled and took a step forward – the space around her visibly distorted, as if she had entered a portal from the movies. After a dizzying effect, she found herself right in front of the four who had been waiting for her.
"Hey..."
"Amaria, I have only one question for you..." Veronica rudely interrupted her and frowned, squinting her eyes. "Where were you during the expedition? I'm sure I remembered the face of every person there, but you weren't there."
"Huh?"
The Elf Queen, who already wanted to greet them and discuss how to get them out of there as soon as possible, faced an unexpected question from Veronica. She looked surprised and could only meet the frowning gaze of the Demon Queen with a raised eyebrow, who suspected her of something.
The girl shrugged, so carefree and reluctantly, answering: "I used camouflage, you know? It's a special technique through which a powerhouse like you can't peek, you get it?"
Veronica looked shocked and simultaneously angry – her reaction greatly surprised the guys who didn't quite understand what was going on. The two women were communicating in codes, and all they could do was wait for an explanation.
However, instead of answers, they were suddenly hit by a powerful surge of demonic energy, which, though not directly affecting them, forced Amarantha to immediately start defending herself due to the uncontrollable flow caused by Veronica's anger.
Boom!
Upon returning to the city, Adam found himself in a trap. From all sides, he was embraced by his beloved women, who didn't even think about letting him go. Especially difficult was with Anna, whose eyes were all teary, and her pale face and emaciated body from malnutrition and long-term distress had brought her into not the best condition.
"Adam... I thought you were dead!" Seraphima cried plaintively.
"Well, I can't die when my dear Seraphima still hasn't seen mermaids," Adam said with a smirk, hugging Seraphima and Anna.
"So you remember..."
The other girls behaved much more restrained, but it didn't last long. In the evening, he was surrounded by Elara, Elira, and Aurora, who tirelessly kissed him and begged for hugs, seeking his attention. The man could only bitterly smile and accept that today he would become a hugging pillow for them.
So passed the first day. And on the next...
"Girls... I can't move. Could you loosen your grip?" Adam mumbled.
He was surrounded. His bed fought to accommodate them all in one place, and it barely managed to cope with it. Anna, Elira, Elara, Veronica, Amarantha, Catherine, Nix, Aurora, Seraphima, Claire, and Mary... a total of eleven people on this bed, not counting Adam.
"It seems like no one hears me..."
Everyone was asleep. It was six in the morning, and usually, Adam would already be dealing with his affairs, but no one allowed him to get up, and the maids didn't even dare to enter. Today was their day off.
The man shook his head and embraced Anna, who winced in her sleep. It was evident that she was in pain, and the pain was very intense. He gently kissed her forehead, and it seemed that she felt it, smiling and settling on his chest.
"That's better," he thought.
This was a challenging period for Anna. First of all, he found out about her condition and realized that she had only three months left before she would give birth to their child. It was necessary to prepare both morally and in terms of relocation. Plans for moving and a small break in the known environment were supposed to start.
After two hours, he finally dared to break free from the embrace of the girls and went to meet the person who was to take on the role of the mayor of Sedion. He was prepared in advance by Amarantha and trained in everything. Moreover, he had to take an oath on the soul font that he would always obey their orders and never cause harm.
This person was already waiting for him in the guest room.
"Sir, good morning. The guest is already waiting for you," Chloe greeted him with a gentle smile.
"Good morning, Chloe..." Adam greeted her in return, smiling.
The maid didn't hesitate to hug him by the hand and press her chest against his left arm.
"Master... could you spare some time for me after the meeting?" Chloe suddenly said with a seductive smile, licking her lips. She looked at him with a pleading look and rubbed her backside against his hard part. "Please~"
