Chapter 1097: Prince Aurelion’s Declaration A day after Zia was brought back to Casimir City by Camazotz... "W-What do you think you’re doing to Zion?!" Siri exclaimed upon being greeted by quite the unexpected sight, though she had completely brought it upon herself by barging into someone’s bedroom without even a single knock. "Huh?!" Princess Xynalia, who was right behind her, also gasped in shock after seeing the scene on the bed. Three beautiful naked ladies lay side by side, with Zia at the center. Sherry hugged Zia from behind, while the latter had her face buried on Princess Aracelle’s chest, like a baby suckling its mother’s milk. Siri’s shout woke Sherry and Princess Aracelle, who looked at her with a frown. "Woman, don’t you know how to knock?" Princess Aracelle asked before lightly patting Zia’s head. "What if you woke Zia up?" "It will be better if she wakes up after this!" Siri pointed at Princess Aracelle. "How could you do such a thing to her while she’s unconscious? Have you no shame?!" Princess Laventia and Stella, who were also headed to Zion’s room, heard the shout in the hallway and hurriedly ran to see what was happening. "Hey, why are you shouting this early in the morning?" Princess Laventia asked. However, the succubus princess’ eyes widened in shock when she saw the reason why. Stella also frowned at the view but didn’t say anything. There were only three naked ladies in the room. Her father had way more wives whom she had seen naked multiple times, so something relatively trivial like this one didn’t faze her. "I think you’re misunderstanding something," Princess Aracelle said. "We always sleep together with Zion like this. Also, she was the one who did this to me, not the other way around." "You think I’ll believe you?" Siri glared. "I don’t care whether you believe it or not," Princess Aracelle replied calmly. "I’m just stating facts." Of course, Princess Aracelle didn’t tell the whole truth. Actually, she was the one who positioned Zia in this manner because it had become second nature to her. In fact, Zia was in a comatose state, so it was impossible for her to do something like this. It was merely Princess Aracelle’s selfish wish to make things seem normal like how it used to be. Sherry understood what the Princess thought and believed that Zion wouldn’t mind if she did something like this as well. After all, her beloved would do this every night, which was practically the norm to them. What these ladies didn’t know was that Thirteen was actually present in the room. He was hovering his body, watching the entire scene with a calm expression on his face. The teenage boy had just returned from the Celestial Realm, two minutes before Siri barged inside the room without knocking. He had tried to return to his body and succeeded in doing so. However, he was unable to move it, so in the end, he decided to just stay in his astral form for the time being. Thirteen also didn’t mind what Princess Aracelle had done. After all, the other party was his lover, and these things were pretty normal according to the notebook that Vincent had handed to him. In fact, according to those notes, skinship was a very important factor that strengthens the bonds of lovers, so it was highly recommended to do it everyday. "So, why are all of you here?" Princess Aracelle asked, stifling a yawn. "Surely, you didn’t come here just to make a scene, right?" "Of course not," Siri replied. "We came here to check Zia’s condition, as well as inform you girls that the Jinns had made a declaration." Sherry’s and Princess’ Aracelle’s expression became solemn after hearing Siri’s words. Thirteen was also curious about the Jinn’s declaration and waited for the young lady to continue what she was going to say next. "Prince Aurelion declared that he would only agree to a temporary alliance with the Wanderers if they helped him return Princess Zia to Velmusa City," Siri said. "That was his ultimatum." ""Huh?"" Sherry and Princess Aracelle both reacted the same way. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺 "Wait, I’m not done yet," Siri explained. "Prince Aurelion said that a Bat-like Majin Prince had kidnapped Princess Zia, and they wanted the Wanderer’s help to eliminate this threat from the continent." Thirteen, who was hovering above the bed, blinked once then twice before glancing at his unconscious body, which was currently inside Princess Aracelle’s loving embrace. The Wanderers already knew about Camazotz, especially the high-ranking ones who would be the decision makers for humanity. His grandfather was also aware that he was Zia, so he would definitely share this information to the Monarchs, who had the final say in any negotiations. "Then, what did the Central Government say?" Sherry asked. "They said that they will consider Prince Aurelion’s condition and get back to him as soon as possible," Siri replied. Thirteen could already see the Monarchs having a meeting, and talking about "Zia," who was currently unconscious in Casimir City. ’This has gotten a bit troublesome,’ Thirteen thought. ’Good thing, Zapar is still continuing the plan.’ As long as Zapar succeeded, Thirteen’s sacrifice wouldn’t be in vain. Although there wre many twists and turns, their main purpose for infiltrating Velmusa City was to let the Majin Prince use his powers to influence the women who held high positions in the politics of the Jinns. Even if Prince Aurelion was strong, so what? His strength alone would not be enough to conquer the Cygni Continent completely, especially since the threat of the Artemians were still at large. Although he had already killed the Artemian Commander, Lucan, he discovered that the latter had a spare body after Sun Wukong "accidentally" told him about it. Of course, this slip of the tongue was intentional, and Thirteen knew that the Monkey King was simply looking out for him. Fortunately, the Artemian Commander was only a clone of himself, and was only of the Champion Rank. With the Golden Azothrall protecting Lucan’s clone, the military strength of the Artemians had decreased drastically. Perhaps, the only silver lining was that Azoh’Karn had managed to become an Archon, replacing Lucan as the pillar of the Artemian Army.
