I spent an hour with the waitress in that room, I held her so that nothing happened that would become a regret for both of us, I used her desire for me to snatch every bit of information she had, among the various lewd things she was doing speaking, she told me everything she knew about the most turbulent time of this Realm, about the former King I overheard the Adventurers talking about in the restaurant, and about what has been going on for the last week.
She told me a lot of things, a lot of unreliable information, contradictory information, and incomplete information.
I had to sift through all the information to see what fit and what was just unfounded rumour.
After I got the information I needed I let Nix undress the waitress while I was walking away from the bedroom window, from struggling to free herself the waitress was already very sweaty, besides that, I increased the effect of my Aura before putting her to sleep with a sleeping poison that comes out of my clutches.
When she wakes up she will mistake what we talked about for the sex dream she is sure to have, a sex dream is inevitable as she was at the height of her lust when I forced her to sleep.

I met up with the others during the night in the alley we had passed before when we entered the city, I wait a few seconds for Nix to come back and take the carriage to leave the city with everyone and return to the place where we are riding opening the Dungeon in the forest.
Jade and Sapphire were a bit grumpy as they weren't able to do anything this time, they don't have any information gathering skills or experience, I already knew that and just took them to do a number, I wanted to show a group full of different races to blend in better in the city and that's what happened.
When we get back to the Dungeon I go back to the government building in the center of the city and tell them to call the others to have a new meeting where I would talk about everything I found out.
I wait in the meeting room that now only had the people who went to the capital of that Kingdom along with me, we wait almost forty minutes before everyone is gathered in the Meeting room.
When everyone is gathered I start talking about the information I have, Nix and Samira also talk about what they found out that was very similar to the information I said.
After that Lilian also spoke the information she knew about this Kingdom and the former King who is younger than her, as someone who worked for 900 years as a spy on this continent, she has a lot of information that complements what we currently have, with all this I can understand more or less about this Kingdom.
----------
To summarize what we know:
This ancient King lived 500 years ago, he was a Devil at the time, when he inherited the throne the country was starting to face problems due to his father's incompetence, the people were discontented and many were hungry, and an epidemic was spreading and the Kingdom had a broken economy.
The former King whose name was Alexander demonstrated great leadership skills, it seems that even before he inherited the throne he studied ways to solve these problems which he put into practice as soon as he became King.
In a few years he stabilized the Kingdom's economy, he also managed to solve several other problems that were accumulating, but he couldn't completely take care of the pandemic, because of that several of the small villages were destroyed with few survivors who blamed the King for what happened.
His brother at the time used the hatred of these people to put down a rebel group that started to create various problems to increase the people's discontent against the current King.
With this, a civil war ensued between the people, the Royal Family, and the Nobles who were divided or neutral choosing to just wait for the outcome.
The civil war took years and weakened the Kingdom, but Alexander managed to defend the throne and put down the rebellion, but at that moment an organization that did not belong to the Kadra Kingdom attacked with full force, they were people who saw this moment of weakness as an opportunity to conquer the Kadra Kingdom.
Alexander was already in the midst of so many bloody battles he ended up evolving into a Vampire, in other words, he became a Patriarch of his own lineage, to increase his strength he took the warriors and mages most loyal to him to become his children, with this new power they managed to survive and defeat the unknown organization that tried to attack the Kingdom.
The army was in shambles, the economy was even worse than when Alexander's father was King, the surrounding villages were abandoned or destroyed, and traces of corruption on the part of the Nobles were starting to show now that there were none left great conflict to distract your attention.
As Alexander began to investigate together with his subordinates who were still alive, Alexander realized that it wasn't just the Nobles, the greatest Traders of the time were also stealing from the Kingdom.
Over time he was destroying this cancer in his Realm only to find that they weren't doing it for no reason, they had accepted bribes, threats, and blackmail from the Realms around them.
It seems that he somehow managed to eliminate all the Nobles and Traders involved, he had also managed to kill an unknown number of spies from the surrounding Realms, but two of the Realms made a deal to attack from both sides and conquer the Kadra Realm, they planned to divide the territory in the middle between its two Kingdoms.
The situation was impossible and everyone thought that the Kadra Kingdom was over, but King Alexander came up with a strong army that fought for months against two armies without fear, because of that the two Kingdoms worried about the dwindling of their armies and were afraid that other Realms trying to do to them what they were doing to the Kadra Realm offered a truce.
After months of negotiating a non-aggression treaty that lasted for 300 years, since then the Kingdom's problems had accumulated a lot during this terrible time, these problems started to be resolved very quickly in a matter of months.
The two neighboring countries offered their food as compensation for the war, somehow King Alexander managed to attract new rich Traders to the Kadra Kingdom and managed to stabilize the economy quickly.
He also accepted many immigrants from other Realms to increase the population of his Realm which was in a low after so many conflicts, King Alexander himself had become much stronger than he had been after being at the forefront of all these conflicts.
Because of his military conquests and his wisdom in the Kingdom's internal affairs, he has been idolized by the people of that Kingdom to the present day, even after handing over his crown to one of his sons 100 years ago, he is still known as the former King for all.

That was all we knew about the history of this Kingdom and about this ancient King Alexander, in the stories he looks like the main character of some game or anime from my old world, but I noticed some things that don't make sense in these stories.
