Chapter 147: Minthe, Underworld Naiad Of River Cocytus? by Harem-Fan

     Falbium, seeing Cerberus, had no special feelings, as he was unaware of Hades Summons from his dream memories, as Rugby had no contact with them during that time.

     And before the last section of dreams, he was not there to witness their partings. So Falbium seeing this Hell Hound of the Death Plane made no ripples in his heart or soul.

     King Lucas seeing the Hell Hound being so obedient to me and Morgan was strange but within his expectations of strange things happening to me.

     Without any knowledge of my past life as Hades, no one could think I had any such connection let alone Falbium, Morgan, Kayo, Evil, and Freya. (Another was one of Hades' wives, Minthe, who was 'muse'd about in chapter 1.)

     Vera, Lane, Dial, and Dream as Summoners are a bit surprised, but are also a bit afraid of such an ugly and ferocious monster of Death.

     Morgan however is a bit worried about her last Summons when she reaches 7th Circle, and in no way wants to attract Tiamat, the Queen of Dragons, as her personality is impossible to handle, and the number of foes that want her dead can stretch endlessly across all Planes of Myst.

     She secretly decided to not let me help her in the next Summons, and she will do it alone, to avoid any accidents. (Even the smartest woman in Myst can make mistakes.)

     Mari, who was a part of my Royal Guard, came to my side and asked privately...

     "Husband, what is the connection between that Hell Hound and Pluto? It is definitely something to do with you, right?"

     "It seems I was a Summoner in a past life, and they were part of my past life's Soul, so they came to Morgan because they knew my past self. I only have a few brief memories of that life in dreams. Is that good enough for you Dear? It is the truth."

     Mwah, Mari kissed my cheek and explained.

     "Sam, you don't need to explain more, because I do not understand it anyway. But if there are only 3 male casters in Human history, does that mean that life was not a Human?"

     I nodded to Mari and said the truth.

     "From the Plane of Death, a Ghost."

     Okay, I left out half the truth, because I was a Ghost King, so it is like Kayo saying she is a Vampire only, not a real lie.

     Mari patted her E-cups and said in relief.

     "That is good, I would have fainted to know you were a Human Summoner twice, haha."

     Poke Squish, "Ahhhh~!"

     I poked my finger into her nipple while she was laughing at me, and she covered her boob while blushing in anger at me.

     "Mari, go back to work dammit, sigh."

     Mari playfully stuck her tongue out at me as she went to talk to Demeter, her Healer partner in the Royal Army.

     George had been flirting with Demeter, his now wife for a while, and Mari the flashbulb came to mess it up.

     If only my past life self would have read more about Greek Mythology, things in this world would make more sense to me, but past regrets are just that, regrets...

     "Achoo~!"

     As Salinas Argus had opened the 3rd [Gate Portal] of the day, she felt an itch in her nose.

     Salem next to her asked.

     "You're 9th Circle, you can't have a cold, right?"

     The sexy woman with flowing long black hair and light-blue eyes, glared at her younger twin.

     "Nonsense, don't be stupid, it was just sand or dust in my nose."

     Salem lifted his palms up as he shrugged, then jokes.

     "Maybe Sam was thinking about you, haha."

     The Mage Queen without any care for men, said to Salem.

     "Myths of sneezing are just Myths, don't be stupid, now get back in the carriage, we will arrive in Isis Oasis City this evening..."

     As his Sister walked past him, her body-smell of mint made its way into his thoughts, and he muttered.

     "Hmm? I wonder if my Brother Sam likes mint?"

     Before the sunset, our Royal caravan left Isis City in the last opening west.

     The exit portal we left is a small section of the outer Capital of Windless Royal City.

     Just like Lucas Royal City, this City places its merchant Gate Portals outside the City walls in case Demons or foreign spies capture it.

     I am currently riding my Nightmare, with Dream in my arms, as she points around in excitement, to explain things to me.

     As we exited, I got a better sight of the Western City, and the large number of citizens coming and going...

     This Capital is split into two sections, the coastal-west-side, and the inland-east-side. A low cliff-ridge separates the two half sections, as well as a river-bay that flows from the ocean and actually drains inland into the desert.

     The west bay is blocked off by thick sea walls with a narrow opening for ships to enter and exit.

     The bay then funnels to the cliffs, and cuts through them into a small delta river mouth, and then leads into the verdant-belt of the deserts beyond a couple of hundred miles.

     Further into the Anubis Desert, the river vanishes into the sands and stops. Smaller fresh water creeks and streams flow into this river, turning it brackish.

     Only during raging hurricanes will this river from the ocean bring brackish waters deep into the deserts.

     It is believed that this river from the Great Neptune Ocean, is the cause of the salt and desert fields, while the water leaks into the earth, supplying the few oases that survive in the hostile environments over thousands of years.

     The main type of tree that grows in the Capital City region, seems to be coconut palms, with ferns being the smaller vegetation. Normal grass does not grow well here, and only sparse wild vegetation can grow well.

     Nobles can and do have lush lawns and gardens due to hiring low level Mages of the Water, Earth, and Life Elements.

     So the city is separated into 4 sections with the river and cliffs in a cross-section.

     The east-side of the cliffs is where many merchants and nobles live and work.

     On the coast-side of the cliffs is where many ocean-based livelihoods are made. This area by the docks is also where the majority of commoners live and work, as it is cheaper to live on the lower elevations, due to being where Ocean storms hit harder.

     Thankfully, the Windless City only sees about one hurricane a year, and they are light. Every century or so, a strong hurricane will come through, but deaths are relatively low thanks to the use of magic.

     The City has an Air Element Array Barrier that can be activated to reduce the storm's power over the city, though the costs are huge.

     The average building is made of white stone shaped by Magic, like Earth's concrete, and the glass is also made from the desert sand using earth-magics.

     So when I look out, I see that most of the city is a mix of white, tan, and browns. Only the government and noble structures seem to use red, deep-brown, and gold as its colors, like a social denotation of status.

     If the North is more like old-Europe of Earth, in regards to fairness and social status, while the South is like a Woman's playground, the West's only real fault is its class segregation.

     The West is not super bad about it, but the nobles do not hangout with lower-class people.

     This also comes back to what I have learned about the physical-appearances of Mages and Knights of nobility and skin colors. Almost all lower-class citizens have darker skin tones from the sun's ravages over generations of class separations.

     But due to more men being Aura users than Women as Mages, most Knights take in many normal women into their Harems. So with the death rate of Knights to Mages, it is about 3 Knights to every 1 Mage. This means over a short time, almost half of all Anubis-Knights die early while trying to make it through the first 3 Circles of their life. This means there are many normal women without men, and every man tends to have at least 2 to 3 normal wives in their homes.

     All of the unmarried women either enter the workforce of becoming fisherman, merchants, prostitutes, maids, entertainers, or a nanny.

     Now mind you, this is only in Anubis. In the South, the Mage population has declined sharply, while the number of normal women are as equal to the Knights, so harems are unneeded, and this is the hidden-danger, because the likelihood of a Knight and a normal woman making a Mage baby is dismally-low, and why they are getting weaker compared to Anubis and North's Kingdoms.

     While Dream was pointing things out, and the [History] and [Geography] skills I got from Evil were being recalled, a group arrived to escort us...

-

     A group of 100 Royal Anubis Knights on Sand Beasts (the camel-bull type) was escorting a lush and richly decorated noble carriage. This group is here to lead us to the Windless Palace, to give us accommodations.

     As Percy and Willow both got out of their carriage, the other carriage door opened, and two lovely women came out. The 1st Queen Domino and Princess Daniella Windless.

     When I saw them, I rode my Nightmare forward. As the 2nd prince and Princess greeted them, Dream and I got off and walked in front of the two women.

     Step Step Step~! Before I could greet them, Daniella threw out all etiquette, and ran into my open-arms, and as she fell into my chest, she kissed me.

     All the Knights of Anubis found their eyes opened wide, seeing their 1st princess act so... womanly. The tomboy like Princess has always been tough acting, never letting any man come to her side. So seeing her leap into the foreign man's arms really changed their eyes.

     Domino seeing this, snickered and teased.

     "Haha, Crown Prince Lucas, you really are the princess-tamer. Hello my Son Sam, I have missed your company, welcome to Anubis."

     "Mmm~! Ah, Hello Mother 1st Queen, I am glad to be...?"

     As Daniella released my lips, she did not let go of my neck, and while I was replying to Domino Sandstorm, I had instantly noticed the bra under the back of Daniella, and her swollen breasts in my chest.

     "Um, I mean I am glad to be here... Daniella, you?"

     As Daniela's eyes became moist, with her gently smiling, her Mother said with an impish tone.

     "Sam dear, we have a Royal surprise for you, so come ride with me and my Daughters into the palace."

     Dream next to us said with a playful grin.

     "Sorry Sam, I forgot to spoil your surprise, hehe, you will like it very much, it is adorable."

     When I looked back into Daniella's glowing face, she said to me softly.

     "Chad Windless wants to meet his Father."

     After my expression went through many emotions, like surprise, joy, and disbelief, I then finished it with a passionate kiss again for my Anubis 1st Princess...

     After our love filled kiss, the Anubis Kingdom successfully honey-trapped the Northern Crown Prince Lucas...

-

     At this time in the Isis Oasis...

     Hum... A portal that was 90 feet wide appeared with the edges glowing in pale blue light.

     Then a large group of carriages and Knights riding horses came through majestically.

     One of the nobleman students of the Southern Knight Academy, frowned and said unhappily.

     "My Vera was stolen from me, I hate you Sam Roland. I do not acknowledge you as a Prince, you harem-fan-scumbag. My heart won't accept it..."

     And in the back of the caravan of carriages, the sibling pair of Salinas and Salem Argus walked through, closing the portal behind them.

     Being outside of Isis City is very safe, normally. However, when the large portal vanished, something had been laying there...

     Falbium, who was grinning in his heart, radiated his Dragon fear to the Southern Caravan, and said with mirth.

     [Hehe, Little girl, you are bold to disturb my sleep. How dare you scare me to death... I have good and bad news for you guys...]

     Salinas was serious as she met the one creature she cannot defeat in all of Myst, so she asked.

     "We are diplomatically traveling, and did not know you were here... So what is the bad news?"

     [The bad news is... I no longer listen to Evil, do to her having a Master, and can do what I like, hehe.]

     Salem then asked with a bit of expectation.

     "What is the good news?"

     [My Evil Master is Sam's Summoned Monster, and because you kid are Sam's Sworn Brother, I won't eat you guys tonight, hehe.]

     Salem smiled, and said politely.

     "Thank you, Falbium, for your guidance. May we pass?"

     Falbium waved his massive bone claw and said dismissively.

     [Move along, nothing to see here, hehe...]

     Salinas still has a fear of this Dragon Lich, because a long time ago, he almost killed her.

     Falbium is immune to all but Life and Light magics, so her Ice Element is ignored.

     As the twins were about to enter the carriage, Falbium's voice carried in the Mage Queen's mind with telepathy...

     ]If anything happens to Sam in the South, I will exterminate all life and make it barren, not even Undead will move there...[

     The mighty 300 foot long Dracolich, then flew west towards the Capital of Anubis...
