'Dayum...that's a lot of rewards. But what is this medallion thing? I've got to find two more to get that?'

Kaisen pondered, scratching his head. It was like a plot twist in a soap opera. Why did he need that medallion? Did it unlock some secret chamber, summon a dragon, or maybe just serve as a fancy paperweight? He had no clue.

Thankfully, he had a historical figure right under him who could probably shed some light on it. But first, he had to navigate the current mess.

'So, how do I navigate this mess?'

Explaining the whole Aveline situation to his friends would be like trying to explain quantum physics to a goldfish. But he knew Maximus would handle it. They'd talked about this in the desert, after all.

He'd have to explain everything—from being raised inside the palace to spying on Queen Roslyn to report her potential attack on Night Shades and the forest.

"Say Vhalla, you won't come with me from this place, right?"

He asked, staring up at the white moon. The red blood moon had lost all its power, absorbed by Vhalla in her second phase.

But right now, laying on top of a heavenly pillow, looking at the lone moon in the sky, was something else. It was like being in a cheesy romance novel, minus the cheese.

"Th-that is n-n-not what I meant at all, you vermin!"

"So you Slurp~ Slurrrcupp~ want me to le-leave and not return here...SMAAAK"

His devilish grin almost made her cum on the spot. How could a vermin like him affect her this much? She didn't know.

Was it the aftereffects of sex? Is it always like this? Would a woman be addicted to sex after her first time? These were questions she never thought she'd be asking herself.

"When are you gonna be honest with me, Aveline, dear? You are mine, alright. And I will come here with or without your permission, and it would be your job as the hostess of this palace to satisfy my needs. Deal?"

He smirked at her as Vhalla averted her eyes to the other side. That perverted bastard—how could she belong to him, and how could she be responsible for satisfying his needs?

She was Vhalla, the Queen of Night... right?

Wrong.

She was Aveline, a plain, normal woman who was now dominated by Kaisen and turned into a sex-craving woman. And knowing this bastard, there was no way she could escape from him.

She couldn't deny it; a part of her was looking forward to how this man would dominate her in ways she couldn't even fathom.

That got her thinking—if there had been someone as powerful as Kaisen back in her younger days, someone who could subdue her, would her life have taken a different path?

Would she have been dominated like this vermi—Kaisen—was doing now? The Queen of Night didn't know, and honestly, she didn't want to ponder it further.

She only had to deal with the present Kaisen and cater to his whims whenever he demanded—if he demanded, she corrected herself quickly, like a squirrel on caffeine. He could use her amulet to come and go as he pleased, after all.

"I-uh...I have...uh...my guardians who look up to me... I cannot service a man in front of them...aah~"

That was a valid point. She had about 100 guardians who protected this place, handpicked by her, and even went on undercover missions as shapeshifters. They all looked up to her as a strong, formidable leader.

If they saw her hosting a little man, or worse, if they saw someone leaving and returning as if he owned the place, their respect for her would plummet faster than a lead balloon. She couldn't afford that kind of embarrassment.

She had a cause to serve, to defeat the Umbral Sovereign...and a moment of pleasure wasn't going to derail that mission. She was resolute, but what Kaisen said next made her eyes nearly pop out of her head.

"Oh, them? Apart from Theodora, everyone else has been fucked to the point they lost consciousness... slurp~"

If blood had been metaphorically coming out of Vhalla's eyes before, now it was shooting out like a fire truck's hose.

"WHAAATT?!"
