After the intense intercourse, Roina regained consciousness, ironically, early the next morning. Her mind had been dazed from the overwhelming stimulation, but Roina’s body, having absorbed mana, was full of energy.

It was quite embarrassing to wake up naked among three men, but Roina eventually accepted the situation with a sigh.

‘They are, after all… my contractors.’

She would somehow compensate them again. The restoration of Castrello this time was also part of that. Perhaps it was because of their contractual relationship with Roina. It was unexpected that they could all have a relationship with Roina at the same time. But if this was also a part she had to accept, it was okay.

Although she thought it might be overwhelming if they asked to have a relationship with her simultaneously again…

‘Let’s think about that later.’

That wasn’t the important thing right now. She soon pushed it out of her mind.

The mana absorbed from her relationships with the three men was definitely helpful to Roina. She had had countless relationships with the Crown Prince, Ryuhyeon, and Lutan, so she had plenty of mana, but the mana from the three men was definitely much smaller in comparison. So, as she absorbed mana from them, the amount of golden energy increased.

Thinking about it, it was truly a very lewd night, but Ethan’s words about it being more efficient to have a relationship with all three at once were actually true. Her energy had increased twice as much as it would have if she had done it with each of them separately.

Roina spread her palm wide and looked down at it. The power within her was growing stronger and stronger.

Before leaving the Magic Tower, she had shared her mana with Lutan. It didn’t have an immediate dramatic effect, but this golden energy clearly had a slight but definite impact on him. His erratic breathing became stable, and the golden scales stopped covering him.

She thought that if she infused him with even more energy, it might have a greater effect.

If that was the case, she had to have a relationship with them for the time being, at least until the mana from the three men was balanced within her.

Roina was leaning against the wall of the inn, lost in thought like that. Her thoughts were interrupted when Ethan approached her side at some point.

“The preparations for departure are complete.”

Roina nodded and took Ethan’s outstretched hand. The royal palace was quite far from where they were, so some preparation was needed to get there. Although it was within the Castrello Kingdom and the capital, this place was on the outskirts near the city gates, and the royal palace was located in the deepest part of the city center.

They were in the outer city, so they would have to pass through at least two city gates to reach the royal palace.

Roina sighed weakly. Currently, the imperial palace of the Kailum Empire was occupied by the Revolutionary Army and the anti-Crown Prince faction nobles, but that wasn’t the end of everything. According to the investigation before coming here, the administrator staying in the Castrello royal palace was Count Icardo, who cut off contact and went into hiding as soon as he heard the news of the Revolutionary Army occupying the imperial palace.

He was an extreme Crown Prince faction member who acted like the Crown Prince’s tongue, so it was highly likely that he intended to occupy this place and wage a siege as an independent state.

Although Yoseph didn’t directly mention it, it would be more advantageous for him, considering the Revolutionary Army’s military strength wasn’t that great yet and it would incur significant losses to push directly into this place, to let Ethan, who was also the successor to the Castrello throne, handle the administration here and then hand over this place and maintain a friendly relationship. The conversation at that time implied that and was tacit permission for Roina and Ethan to do whatever they needed to do here.

After that, it was Ethan’s share to reclaim the royal palace from the Count’s forces.

In fact, Roina’s group, who could infiltrate secretly like this, was the most suitable for that role.

Roina looked at Ethan for a moment and then boarded the baggage wagon that had stopped in front of the inn. They planned to disguise themselves as merchants to enter the inner city and assess the situation.

“We’re departing now, so hold on tight!”
