Harem Overlord

"Hmm, this place isn\'t what I imagined it to be." Qin muttered as they appeared at the entrance of the city.

Her gaze fell on the fortified palace in the distance before she turned towards Kai.

"I expected it to be like made from stone or something. But this place is quite modern." Qin replied as he smiled.

"You never came to this city before?" He asked a Qin shook her head. The five of them then moved towards the gates as the guards suddenly snapped to attention.

[ Quickly kneel. That\'s the sacred ambassador from last time! ] One of the guards sent a spiritual message to the other one as both of them bent down on the ground.

"How can we help you, great sacred ambassador?" One of them asked as Kai shook his head.

"We are here on an official visit." Kai said as the guards stood apart and let the five of them move inside.

"That aura around him was so calm yet dangerous. No wonder he is a sacred ambassador." One of them muttered as they got back up.

"Hmm, you could have just teleported us to the palace instead of parading through the entire city." Qin muttered to Kai as they walked through the streets of the city.

Everyone, they encountered immediately stopped doing whatever they were doing and got down on their knees as they saw Kai and the others pass through.

"The best way to look for protestors is to find them in the crowd. Since they were wearing masks, there\'s a good chance that they are normal elves within the crowd. Any person sharing signs of distaste might be one of them." Watanabe answered Qin as the latter looked surprised.

"I used to rule a small place for some time. From my experience, such people are usually hiding in plain sight." Watanabe winked at Qin who suddenly looked at the former with respect.

"Wish I knew about such things. Most people either adore me or just fear me so there are no riots or protests." Qin said with a dropping head as Watanabe smiled.

"Then that means that fewer people die under your rule. Even though if you use fear as a way to stop such things, it\'s still something." Watanabe replied as Qin nodded.

"How old are you?" Watanabe asked casually as a small smile appeared on Kai\'s face when he heard the two girls talk.

"Why are you smiling?" Levian whispered near his ear as he shook his head.

"It\'s nothing." He said but didn\'t stop smiling. Levina couldn\'t figure out what he was thinking so she decided to just fall back and talk with Kiana.

"I am a hundred and sixty-three years old." Qin replied as Watanabe blinked in confusion.

"You are pretty young." She said in a surprised tone as she herself was more than three centuries old.

"Hehe, the only reason I have a high cultivation is because of my golden lightning." Qin replied with a smile as Watanabe sighed in disappointment.

\'Lucky children.\' She thought as she looked at everyone surrounding her.

All of these people were natural-born talented people while she was someone who had just gotten her special title.

\'There\'s a huge gap between me and them that no special power can fill.\' Watanabe sighed as the group reached the palace.

It looked as the news of their arrival had already reached the palace since all the members of the royal family were standing outside to welcome them.

"Instead of surprising you, I just decided to walk here." Kai said as he smiled and extended his hand towards the king.

The king shook it while returning the smile. For some reason, Kai wasn\'t as arrogant or simple-minded as the ambassadors that had visited the land of earth in the past.

\'If not for the aura surrounding him, I would have thought that he is just an easy-going normal elf.\' The king thought as Gaia stepped forward from behind.

"You are the person from two days ago." She surprised Kai by speaking perfectly as he examined her appearance.

She was as tall as a five-year-old kid in just two days and was wearing a blue earring on her right ear.

"Aren\'t you growing too fast for a kid." Kai replied as Gaia raised her eyebrows.

​ "Are you jealous? Perhaps you grew too slowly." She replied as Kai smiled.

"Making assumptions even though I didn\'t say anything regarded to my growth. I expected better." He said as Gaia suddenly smiled.

"Why do you even expect something from me?" She asked with a grin as she thought that Kai would be stumped but she was proved wrong.

"It\'s not every day that I see someone like you so of course, I have some expectations." He replied as the two of them smiled at each other.

Both the sides gathered there looked at Kai and Gaia\'s exchange with wide eyes as though they weren\'t quite sure what was happening.

"Are ambassadors trained to handle smart kids?" Qin asked Watanabe as the former shook her head.

"It\'s just a little ability he has." She replied while furrowed her eyebrows.

\'Maybe I should have just told her that I didn\'t know that Kai could manage kids so well.\' She thought as Kai stepped back while Gaia kept staring at him with curious eyes.

"Gaia come back." Her mother called out as Gaia turned and walked back to stand beside her mother.

"Anyways, we are here to help you deal with the protests." Kai said as the king raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Why is the capital so interested in helping us?" He asked while narrowing his eyes as he was getting suspicious about Kai and the capital\'s actions.

"It\'s cause we have neglected this place for way too long and have let the rivalry between the two lands grow bigger. That is why I am here with my partners to compensate for neglecting this place." Kai replied as the king was taken back.

"If that\'s the case, then let\'s move inside and think about this." The king replied as the two parties moved inside.

"You go ahead. I will be right behind you." Kai said to the girls as they looked at him with confusion before walking inside.

He then stared at a house in the distance for a few seconds before he moved inside with a small smile on his face.

As soon as he went inside, a shadow leaped from the same house and traveled towards the palace silently.
