Skarla – The F*ta Conqueror

41 – Lunch and Royalty!

PART 0

—————————

Before we go any further, I think I need to give some explanations and make something more solid regarding Martial Arts, Cultivation, and Murim.

1° Through cultivation, a Martial Artist develops his Internal Energy, which can make him stronger, healthier, and even increase his life expectancy, but does not make him invincible.

Treat Internal Energy as a supplement that helps maintain the balance of the body, condensing it to, for example, have the physical capabilities of a modern human at its peak, such as 500 kilos of weight lifting, 50 km/h speed, etc. (Note: Naturally, I'm rounding this up.)

Internal Energy will not make an individual above these limits; it will only help them reach them with relative ease, but it still takes a lot of training and effort.

That's why in Murim works, you see extremely high-level Martial Artists, who are said to be invincible, being hurt or injured when their Internal Energy runs out, making them very vulnerable. This occurs because, in addition to giving them strength, energy also protects them and amplifies their senses so they can act and react, thus defending themselves. If it comes to an end and someone with energy and strength attacks, he will be defenseless.

So a Martial Artist can be strong, but this is because of Internal Energy, without it, he is only a healthy person or someone with a lot of physical strength, which makes him an easy target for those who are not in the same situation.

2° Martial Arts are techniques that shape Internal Energy, which makes them truly special. Without this, Internal Energy would merely serve as a supplement to the body, providing power impulses and ensuring some defense, but without the knowledge of how to utilize it effectively, it would be virtually useless.

For Skarla, for example, even if she used all of her strength and energy in a punch, if it were a pure punch, her fist would most likely only have sunk into the mountain rock, but things changed because she used Martial Arts techniques, which greatly amplified the punch's effect. One can understand the difference between a bodybuilder and someone who trains for combat. Even though those who do bodybuilding may be strong, those who train to fight will defeat them. For example, in the pathetic fight between [Popó x Bambam], famous people in their field, BamBam was just a bodybuilder who thought he was too much, with no real technique. Popó is a boxing champion.

As a result of the fight, BamBam was on the ground in less than 30 seconds. This is due to Popó's fighting technique and knowledge, which made each of his attacks more efficient.

The same is true in the case of Skarla. Without the "technique,” it would just be an improved punch; with the "technique,” it becomes an attack tens to hundreds of times stronger, which can take several forms, from a generalized dispersion of the force and shock of the attack to the entire mountain, causing devastating damage, but she could also wield it so that it was a straight line attack, with less range and area damage, but a more concentrated and deadly destructive power.

This is the familiarity of Cultivation with Martial Arts. Simply cultivating will not give you strength; even if you have 100 years of cultivation, you will only have a strong body, but you will not know how to use that energy. With Martial Arts, your 100 years of cultivation become a formidable weapon.

3° Without the support of more than 80 years of cultivation, Skarla's current body surpasses her previous body by a factor of 5 to 10. So if now, without any cultivation energy, both of them faced each other, Skarla would win easily.

But it turns out that her past self had centuries of accumulated cultivation; with the addition of that and now, both being able to use their energy, Skarla would lose in 9 out of 10 fights. His only chance of defeating his past self would be to force him to expend a significant amount of energy, prolong the fight, and withstand destructive attacks, ultimately leading to victory.

Then, in Murim, she had a weaker body, but because of cultivation, she had the strength to ignore the differences between their bodies. This is the difference between both worlds.

In Murim, few could cultivate and have access to Martial Arts, since energy was also scarce, which made it very difficult for any self-taught person to do so with only a truly absurd talent. But even that wouldn't be enough; you need a base, because creating everything alone is something arduous. Over millennia, the refinement of cultivation (using this work as a base) led to its current state.

So, in a very simple sense, it is impossible for any absurd genius to appear out of nowhere and create his own martial arts without first having a base. For example, Albert Einstein. And if he hadn't learned to read, would he still have created relativity theory and become the father of physics?

For every genius, it is necessary to have a base on which to create. Because even if you put the creators of something, for example, Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton, to interact and share their knowledge, Albert Einstein would have a lot of advantage, and his knowledge for Isaac Newton would be something innovative and even magical.

For cultivation, it's the same thing; there's no way Isaac Newton in his life thought of what Albert Einstein thought, but through what he developed, he ended up supporting Albert Einstein's discoveries.

So the creator of the first Mantra, could not imagine or think of better ways for this to develop, of the Martial Arts that would emerge, shaped by his descendants, enemies, etc., as more people used them, the more they developed.

Let's now discuss the differences between the two worlds. In Murim, the Mantra converted the Energy of the World or Energy of Nature, into Internal Energy to strengthen the body, store it in the Dantian, and thus be able to use powerful Martial Arts to reach the top.

In this world, there is Mana, an energy that exists everywhere; it is much more abundant, but its quality is a little lower than that of Murim, but here it wins in quantity and not quality. Not to mention that Mana has many variations.

While in Murim, the elements would be somewhat more metaphorical, such as the Demon Slayer's breaths, in this world, Mana makes these elements real in martial arts, significantly enhancing their visual effects.

Note: It is not because in Murim the elements are metaphorical that the damage that such elements cause is false. Internal Energy is capable of simulating the same effects and making them real. So a Martial Art in combat, Fire x Ice, for example, can result in a real decrease and increase in temperature during the confrontation, with Fire simulating and causing burns to your enemy and the environment, and can even create real fire depending on the place, while Ice can cause frostbite, lower ambient temperatures result in ice appearing in the environment, and so on.

Because of the differences in the Energies of each world, as well as their own laws, it resulted in what Skarla is today.

Skarla forcibly mixed the laws of the two worlds, bringing the Cultivation Mantra here while using the body modified by the system of this world, the same system that tried to analyze Cultivation and give a basis for its effects, trying to simulate it and bring the maximum possible balance.

And in fact, it managed to bring balance, but the question I ask is: How do you bring balance to a technique that makes it stronger over time?

It's not like it's a power or ability that allows you to get stronger by killing a certain amount of enemies, which would force you to kill those enemies to increase your strength, but rather a technique where you don't need to do anything; just sit there, meditate, and that's it; you'll accumulate energy and become stronger and stronger.

So it's impossible to bring real balance to something that shouldn't belong in this world from the beginning.

So Skarla was able to acquire a body enhanced by the system and rules of this world, having been raised to the maximum through cultivation, its advantages helping the body reach its magical potential faster and with ease.

But in the end, the focus of Cultivation is always Energy, but in this world, it turns out that the “Body” is limited by the system. People's initial bodies already have a much higher limit than Earth and Murim, what happens as a result? This limit, which should be reached with difficulty and with the luck of the people of this world, was reached with the pure effort and skill of one person.

Now, why is this large wall of text giving this explanation of why she is different from her past, as well as why she is so strong even though her abilities originate from Murim? This is because I saw comments from people who were confused about its strength, because these same people, like me, consume a lot of Mundo Murim and understand the logic of power and the balance that exists in this type of work.

And in fact, the origin is Murim, but this same Murim was assimilated into a System similar to that of D&D. Anyone who knows the world of D&D understands that after Level 18, your character literally becomes a god, with mages literally having spells to stop time, being able to kill instantly, etc., while warriors and barbarians can achieve feats of tremendous physical power, going head-to-head against colossal beasts.

Now let's do a basic sum: What happens when you add 1+1? Result: 2!

So we can add: Murim + D&D = Protagonist fucking the balance, spanking his ass, and calling him a bitch.

PART 1 – Lunch! (I)

—————————

The meal was ready, the large table was set, and the guests arrived. It was a last-minute event, but it was still luxurious, and everyone was appropriately dressed and appeared respectful.

They are about to encounter a legendary figure, a seemingly young, unengaged woman. Bearer of a power that she can make even the empire afraid of.

If any of them manage to attract even the slightest interest from Skarla, his family will rise to the top of the empire. Regardless of whether it is a weak baroness family or a bourgeois family that rose through the political ranks through money and contacts, it has limited power.

Regardless of who it is, bringing Skarla into your family or just having her support, even if minimal, will be a great fortune.

At first, it was a simple meeting: people greeting each other. Letiphia, as hostess, had to receive the guests, always smiling, and her smiles were very attractive to everyone. No one had ever seen her smile and act like that, as it seemed genuine.

Letiphia was truly radiant, and as a result, many had the will and courage to praise her and shamelessly try to insult her. Letiphia surprisingly didn't incinerate them or beat them with black tentacles; she just smiled, accepting the compliments, and continued.

Her mood is excellent, but it got a little worse with the carriages arriving. From a luxurious and huge red carriage, surrounded by royal guards, the door opened, and from it came a tall, slender figure with vibrant violet eyes.C41-Kalen-Zenirys.jpg

Long white hair, soft skin, thin lips, and a delicate face. Wearing beautiful black and blue clothes, a suit, and a cape. Kalen Zenirys, known as the Violet-Eyed Devil, is the first prince.

Long time, Duchess Letiphia; you are as stunning as ever.” - Kalen smiled and bowed, kissing the back of his hand.

Your Highness, it is an honor to have you here today. I hope lunch is to your liking.” - Letiphia said, bowing.

Kalen smiled happily. - “You don’t need all this attitude with me; you are one of the shields of this nation, and you are protecting us from these freaks. It is an honor for me to be invited by you.”

Letiphia smiled gently. - “It seems the rumors are true.” - Kalen said.

Oh, what rumors?” - Letiphia asked in surprise.

That the icy duchess’s heart was stolen. Her smile is that of a woman in love. I am happy for her happiness, and I hope it lasts forever.” - Kalen said in a calm tone, and Letiphia blushed slightly but smiled and thanked him.

Now I'm even more curious about Lady Skarla; she must be someone really impressive. Any tips for this prince? I don’t want to insult you by accident.”

Skarla is a peculiar and formidable woman indeed; she is difficult to deal with, but as long as you do not provoke or irritate her, she will respect you accordingly. I think it's unlikely that any problems will occur between you, but I think you'll like her.”

Kalen liked what he heard, smiling. - “Then I will talk to my old acquaintances and wait for the delicious lunch and, of course, to meet the Heroine of the Empire.”

Letiphia smiled and led the way. Kalen walked away, and shortly after, another carriage, only blue, was also guarded by royal guards, but they seemed more fierce.

Soon a handsome young man with long white hair and vibrant red-orange eyes came down with delicate features and an impactful countenance.C41-Angelo-Zenirys.jpg 

The second prince, Angelo Zenirys, has just arrived. The one known as the Wings of the Empire.

As soon as he got down, he narrowed his eyes slightly; his nose appeared irritated, but he still approached, with a calm and gentle expression.

Your Highness, it is an honor to have you with us.” - Letiphia said, bowing.

Duchess Letiphia, thank you for the invitation and for your services in protecting this nation. I look forward to better results in the future.” - He said it in a calm tone, perhaps forgetting that it was he who invited himself, not the other way around.

Letiphia thanked him.

I see that my brother has already arrived; I will speak to him. Thanks again for the invitation.”

Letiphia opened the way for him, grateful for not dragging out the conversation; the prince's contempt for her is obvious.

When she turned to the front, thinking that there were only two more guests left, she found an old man. - “Lady Duchess, I beg your pardon for bothering you, but I am the butler of the Sondau Family. It turns out that the young lady has fallen ill and will not be able to come.”

Oh, I see—a shame. I wish her well and will ask a priest to come to her aid.” - Letiphia said gently, and the butler thanked her, then said goodbye and apologized again.

Hey, am I the last one to arrive?” - An energetic voice sounded, leaving Letiphia alarmed, as she didn't feel anything and turned around. - “Oh, did I scare you?” - A laugh came.

On the side, a tall figure at 1.9 meters tall, with long dark brown hair, sharp and beautiful brown eyes, white skin, and an incredible, stunning figure, with muscles so defined and seductive, as well as a large volume between the legs.

C41-Hackel-Zenirys.jpg (Author: I love this image, I will use it as the protagonist in a future work of mine.)

Princess Hackel.” - Letiphia bowed.

Hey, you know I don’t like this; you don’t need to lower your head. I came walking and ended up seeing little Angel coming in; he didn’t say shit, right?” - Hackel laughed carefree.

Your Highness, Prince Angelo, was quite polite.” - Letiphia said calmly.

I highly doubt it, but I apologize in his place. But seriously, you refused my advances and were taken by another; it seems that from the beginning, one princess wasn't enough for you; you went after a legend!" - Hackel laughed.

Letiphia remembered why she avoided the capital a lot and why none of her daughters are married to royalty, because the 3rd Princess, who has a lot of influence, only had eyes for her, not being interested in any of her daughters. It seems that besides the thing between the legs and the muscles, she and Skarla have something in common; they preferred the older woman to the immature daughters.

I don’t know what you’re thinking, but how about we go in? Or is there another important guest that forces you to wait outside? I find it difficult; let’s go in; it’s getting cold, and I’m hungry!” - Hackel laughed and entered, with Letiphia beside her.

PART 1 – Lunch! (I)

—————————

The 1st and 2nd Princes, upon meeting, began to exchange barbs, teasing each other without stopping, where Prince Kalen seemed to have the advantage, as it was his specialty, while his brother, Prince Angelo, grew up in a military and religious family. He has little interaction with profanity or words with the same intonation and meaning but which are not rude.

And the two who looked like they wanted to kill each other suddenly stopped; their tense expressions and forced smiles disappeared; they heard a voice and laughter that made them shudder; they recognized and prayed to whatever God or Devil would hear them, wishing it wasn't her.

But when they looked towards the entrance, following Letiphia, a figure impossible to distinguish was wearing a skirt that reached her knees, beautiful black boots, a light shirt, and apparently no bra, showing the mark of her nipples through the fabric.

Hackel Zenirys, the 3rd Princess, has just arrived, is the only futanari in the imperial family, and… the nightmare of all princes, including the 1st and 2nd princes.

Both, without exception, insulted Letiphia in their minds for inviting Hackel.

"Angel, and you too, Kaka?” - Hackel laughed happily and advanced. Both forced to swallow their fears and acting very cordial, they approached, and before they greeted her, she caught them in a hug and lifted them up. - “I missed you so much; why didn’t you come visit your big sister again?” - She laughed, and they were both embarrassed, asking to be taken down. It was humiliating.

Hackel, laughing, took them down, but not before grabbing their bottoms while taking them both for a sweet hug. No one saw anything out of the ordinary, except for the silly hand, but they could think it was an accident and they are brothers.

I'm really sad that they've avoided me so much, so you better pay me a visit this week, or I'll do it.” - She said she was laughing and soon stopped hugging them.

Oh, Mia!” - She found someone in the audience and ran to her.

Kalen and Angelo looked at each other and decided to stop with the barbs. They needed to be careful about how to deal with this time bomb. His eyes ended up landing on Letiphia, and both of them, very resentful, said nothing more.

……

After a while, with Letiphia now present in the dining room, someone entered who everyone was waiting for. She is a tall and muscular beauty, appearing to be very young, more than everyone present, but no one would take her as a child, especially because she is taller than the knights who are guarding them.

Her presence was powerful, even unintentional; everyone could feel that she was strong. This is the experience they acquire as nobles who interact with strong people; they can detect it more easily.

But it didn't just stop with looks, because soon, the people closest to the door through which Skarla entered the dining room came to her, introducing themselves and their families, giving thanks, and receiving various compliments.

The closest and most intrusive, who tried to close the distance with Skarla as much as possible and stop others from getting in front of them, soon found themselves stopped by something. An invisible barrier prevented them from getting too close. They could extend their arms if they wanted, and they would touch Skarla, but that would be very offensive.

Without realizing that the barrier was something subtle, they only noticed that it was strange when they tried to advance and found themselves unable to do so. The conversation was already flowing; Skarla was smiling and was very skilled.

She was a genius researcher in her first life, then the scion of a prestigious family, and dealt with many influential people in her second life, so she knew how to deal with high-ranking people.

The princes wanted to get closer, already advancing, but someone went ahead first, and they automatically stopped their advance.

"Hello! You are more beautiful than I was told.” - Hackel said, smiling and slightly biting his lip, evaluating Skarla from head to toe.

She naturally, as a princess, has seen and slept with beauties of all types; she has several wives, many of whom she considers more beautiful than Skarla. But Skarla is unique in many ways, and for strong people, she naturally possesses an attractive aura.

And you must be Your Highness, Princess Hackel.” - Skarla said, smiling and allowing her to get closer. - ‘She’s beautiful…’ - Skarla thought, internally shocked by the beauty and physical size of the woman in front of her.

Hackel proudly stood in front of her, having to look up to meet her eyes. - “You are also very tall; what did they make you eat to make you like that? And you don’t need to call me princess or your highness; you can call me Hackel. I would feel disappointed if the heroine of the empire treated me so distantly.”

So, I ask that you also call me by my name, Skarla.” - Skarla said, smiling slightly.

"Normally, I would invite you to drink or hunt, but you have other guests. Let me introduce you to my brothers; they are a little troubled, but they are good people.” - Hackel said, smiling and leading the way towards his brothers.

They were already hurriedly getting ready, strengthening their faces, and Kalen went first. Angelo was looking in another direction, looking at a specific person.

"Hello, Lady Skarla, I'm Kalen. It is a great pleasure and honor to finally meet you. I have heard about her achievements and am truly amazed.” - Kalen said, bowing in respect and admiration towards Skarla.

I am honored to be held in such high regard by your highness.” - Skarla said, smiling.

That’s my Kaka. Hey Angel, don’t be rude.” - Hackle said, pulling Angelo, who snorted, but showing due respect, he did not hesitate to pull Skarla's hand and kiss her back.

It is a great honor to meet you, and as prince of this great nation, I thank you for all your work and effort.” - Angelo said, smiling slightly and getting up.

Skarla wasn't too happy with this approach, but unfortunately, she's dealing with a prince and can't send him flying. She smiled as Angelo looked at her face. - “I am happy to recognize my merits, and I wish the empire much prosperity.”

Angelo, at that moment, was confused and shocked. Skarla smiled with her eyes slightly closed; to him, she seemed so different and so beautiful. Although she is not the most aesthetically pleasing woman he has ever encountered, he was instantly captivated by her.

Hey Angel, I know she’s beautiful; she doesn’t need to be lost.” - Hackel said, waking him up from his stupor.

Oh, sorry, I got lost in her face.” - Angelo said, smiling, and Hackel beside him laughed.

Skarla smiled, and at that moment, Letiphia said: - “Everyone, please go to your assigned seats; we will start lunch.”

Skarla sat at one end of the large table, where Letiphia sat next to her, which is normally the end where the host sits. In all this, she showed that the rumors were real.

On the sides, next to Skarla and Letiphia, are Kalen and Angelo, followed by Hackel, but she didn't hesitate to switch with Angelo, as he was closer to Skarla.

The remaining seats were occupied by the many guests, and then the servants began to come and fill the table with delicious aromas and various dishes. For a moment, Skarla's attention went to the dishes, as the smell was strangely appetizing. Even the princes and princesses looked with interest.

There was no presentation, no speech, or anything like that; this was a simple lunch for nobles. They looked at Skarla and Letiphia, and when they picked up the cutlery, they officially started picking up theirs too to eat.

It was very quiet, as lunch is like that; unless the host says something, no one is allowed to start conversations, which is very disrespectful. Even Hackel, who appears sloppy and rude, follows this etiquette.

Then everyone took their first bites of the dishes, and everyone's expressions became one of astonishment. Many were confused as to why it was so tasty. The smell was already attractive, but now...

Many wanted to ask who the chef was, but they knew the rules and ate, only being able to enjoy every bite. The drinks that accompanied it were also good, very light, and went well with what they were eating.

No one left a grain of food on the plate.

I see everyone liked it; I’m happy.” - Letiphia said, smiling slightly after cleaning her mouth.

Yes, that was wonderful, but I'm sorry for the question. Who is the cook?” - Kalen asked about something everyone wanted to know.

It was Skarla herself.” - Letiphia said, and everyone was shocked.

It may seem like she only knows how to fight, but she is a great cook. I was also shocked the first time I tried her cooking.” - Letiphia said, smiling at the reactions—the same ones she had when she tasted it and discovered who had made it.

Lady Skarla, this is wonderful. I ask the princes and princess for forgiveness, but I don’t think even the imperial chef has such skill.” - Said one of the nobles, and many agreed; others held back but mentally agreed.

There is no need to apologize; as a princess who lived her entire life in the palace, I have tried all types of spices made by the hands of skilled chefs. I guarantee that in my entire life, this was the most delicious food I have ever tasted. Everything about this meal was balanced, and I can still taste the aftertaste on my lips.” - Hackel said, sparing no effort in his praise.

I've traveled throughout the empire and neighboring nations, always eating the best, but none of that comes close to yours. I'm grateful for such a pleasurable experience.” - Angelo said, finishing his drink.

I'm glad it was to your taste. I normally feed my students and those closest to me with this food. It has several benefits, as it is cooked with lots of love and perfection.” - Skarla said, smiling slightly, and from the looks on their faces, it's obvious that everyone wants to know, even if it's little.

For someone at my level, we can detect more than what the eyes can see; naturally, we take vision and other factors to another level. In my case, I use Aura, and I know many variations and techniques. But the point of cooking is that I treat each ingredient as if it went through the process of alchemy, removing impurities and maintaining its freshness, balancing what I like to call nutritional values to suit most palates without being too heavy or too light.”

Simply put, I studied the characteristics and flavors of each food and ingredient in my possession, creating the balance in foods that the body needs. Not to mention that there is still a residue of my energy, and don't worry, I use neutrality, so it is unlikely that this will cause you any problems. So in addition to the flavor that matches, you may feel more energetic and stronger, just one of the many effects that my meals bring.”

There were several nods and several compliments, even though they didn't understand even 1/3 of what she was saying. Skarla is the expert, and they are the laymen. She knows what she is saying, but they don't know what they are hearing.

I understood a little; I never thought something like this was possible. But what specifically are impurities?” - Hackel asked curiously.

Something we all have in our bodies is magic, which unfortunately we cannot escape without the necessary strength and technique. This accumulates in the womb and does not cause real problems, except in cases of fragile and unhealthy bodies. But simply put, it is dirt that accumulates in our bodies and brings some penalties. If it is expelled, our bodies will become lighter, the blood flow and even the magical flow will be greatly accelerated, and the rate of muscle growth and recovery will be much greater. Getting rid of the impurities that accumulate in your body guarantees health and longevity. If you don't have a properly healthy life and exercise to stay in shape, it is very likely that you will gain weight, which accumulates in large quantities alongside the fat, making it easy to have several health problems and can lead to death.” - Skarla said calmly, Information that left many astonished.

I’ve heard of this before—concepts that come from the East.” - Angelo said calmly.

I’ve already had the pleasure of getting my hands on some of these documents; they’re very useful for the view they have on the body.” - Skarla said calmly.

I never paid much attention because of the distance and because they are quite reclusive, but I believe I will make more efforts.” - Angelo said he was interested in this area.

I guarantee you won't regret it. I learned a lot from these concepts and their vision of the world. Being able to see the world from different angles gives you more advantages than you can imagine.”

Truly wise words; I feel inspired. But forgive me for being rude, but please tell me there’s dessert.” - Kalen said, smiling, and Skarla nodded, laughing. Letiphia clapped her hands, and the servants removed the dishes and served new ones.

A gelatinous, yellow mass appeared. They looked at it curiously; they had never seen anything like it before. - “This is a sweet I call Pudding. One of my favorites." - Skarla said calmly, and everyone began to taste, amazed by the sweetness and explosions of flavors.

Grunts and even moans came from these people. Letiphia next door also savored them, always being amazed by the things that Skarla presented to her. A true food from another world.

And it goes without saying that after tasting, there were explosions of praise, the dishes were taken away, and it was time for real socialization.

Skarla was the center of attention, and several questions arose on a variety of topics, initially about her political views and how she sees certain markets. Skarla was sincere, and her knowledge of these areas amazed everyone, as she does not seem to be someone knowledgeable about these things.

And at that point, both princes looked at her with greater interest. Skarla is beautiful, but what truly attracts them is her strength. It is not wrong to say that they both came to meet and evaluate this legendary force that had emerged in the empire, potentially bringing it to their side.

But now that that has changed, they have seen that their skills are impressive, not just in combat but in politics as well. She has a sharp and analytical view of the subjects mentioned, surprising even Letiphia, who didn't know she was so impressive.

Angelo, who had already felt a great attraction for Skarla, became even more attracted to her than just her body and strength, but also her intellect.

As a future candidate for emperor, he not only has to have many allies but also make these allies understand who is superior and inferior, showing a hierarchy before sitting on the throne and showing that he is capable of being above everything and everyone.

An Emperor is not a friend of his subjects, whether nobles or commoners; he is the one who rules and is often seen as a divine entity by his people, unreachable. Opening up opportunities for his subjects to think that perhaps they could approach and be friendly with him makes everything problematic. Nobles see kindness and goodness as weaknesses, especially the corrupt and power-hungry.

In addition to establishing hierarchy, a future Emperor must attract a diverse range of talented individuals to his side, particularly his wives. These women will not only provide him with greater control over the nation's main families, but also provide valuable connections.

A capable and supportive wife is something that an Emperor needs, as sharing his authority will be inevitable, so it must be with someone truly capable and trustworthy. Who better than the future mother of your children, and who will share the bed every night?

For Kalen and Angelo, the fact that Skarla is likely of commoner origin no longer matters. She is a legend; who will disrespect one because of her origins? As long as she isn't from an enemy nation or an abomination to humanity, it doesn't matter.

And now that she has demonstrated political vision, business knowledge, and everything else that any nobleman would want in his future wife, this would help them immensely in ruling in the future.

For them, Skarla was a potential ally who would give them a lot of strength and influence. If they could successfully woo her, it would yield significant financial benefits; having her as a wife would ensure her ascent to the throne. But if you add political and business potential to that, she automatically becomes eligible to be the first wife with everything she has.

Regardless of how many she has or how influential her family is, they will all be thrown back by Skarla's presence.

They were both thinking the same thing. As for the fact that she has a penis, it turns out that they grew up with Hackel, so, like it or not, they know what it's like to live with a futanari, and there's no discrimination about it; Hackel trained them well.

The conversations were quite random, no one mentioning their past or personal information, until finally someone brought up the subject of their great battle, wanting the details of how it brought down the Krugar Mountains, known for being impossible to cause real damage or having already done so. in the past.

Skarla had no trouble explaining her first attack, which aimed to destroy the internal structure the demons had built in the mountain and kill as many enemies as possible, as well as her subsequent confrontation with Sueika, which nearly cost her her life.

Everyone was very impressed, until Hackel said. - "As? I surpassed level 10 a few years ago. I've gotten stronger, and I'm looking to develop my Aura, but I still feel like I'm far from that. But even so, the feat of destroying a mountain with two attacks—I don’t see how it’s possible.”

It’s normal, but I actually used Aura for this… Soldier, hand me that shield.” - Said Skarla pointing to one of Letiphia's soldiers stationed nearby for security.

Obeying, he approached and handed over the shield. Skarla positioned it for everyone to see and say. - “The standard use of Aura, in addition to strengthening the body and senses, also allows you to strengthen defensive and offensive power.” - She easily pierced the shield's metal with her finger, as if it were the simplest thing, and Hackel watched carefully.

What I just did was simple; I concentrated all the power into one point, as is normally used by users of Aura or similar energy, which gives them a lot of power. But the point is, if I used it to punch a rock, the obvious result would be my arm going through it, just like my finger going through the shield.” - Said Skarla, showing everyone.

But things change when you better understand your energy, control it, and use some techniques. For example, instead of focusing all of the attack's destructive power on one point, which is good against single enemies, you can disperse all of the attack's power, distributing it evenly.” - With those words, she hit the center of the shield, and it undulated, quickly warping and creating wave details that are obviously unusable now.

The damage may not seem like much, but think of it like this: Using the first method on a 10-meter rock, my arm would pierce it, and cracks could appear. It is heavily dependent on energy distribution. Now, using this method, think that I have made my energy like a net, spreading it, making it infiltrate deeper into the shield structure, or in the case of the hypothetical scenario, the 10-meter rock. The arm would not pierce the rock, but all the accumulated strength and energy of the attack would spread out equally, enough to cause damage, find the weaknesses, and, as a result, the entire 10-meter rock would suffer from the attack and thus break.”

I say this with the mountain: the first punch was to destroy the internal structure, greatly damaging the mountain, but due to its size, it only caused internal collapse and did not cause real damage to the entire area of the mountain, but left it unstable. The second punch, which I used even more force to bury the demon and kill it, had a much greater impact power; the structure of the mountain, already unstable, could no longer support it, and like a chain effect, the entire part of the mountain fell. .”

Everyone was impressed by what Hackel asked. - “Can any Aura user do this?”

I can, so I believe others can; it’s not something that complex; as long as you practice, anything is possible.”

I heard you talk about your disciples; what do you think about teaching me a few things? Naturally, I will pay for being taught by someone so formidable.” - Hackel said, smiling, and many were surprised.

Hmmm…” - Skarla scratched her chin, evaluating Hackel not only for her beauty but also for the inside of her body, her magical power, her quality, her strength, and how close she is to developing the Aura.

To be honest, the inside of her body is impressive; she was born with incredible genetics, and her talent and affinity are also above anything she has seen. Sasha and Holga, who are her disciples and very talented, don't hold a candle to Hackel.

I must admit that I am impressed. I believe that if you continue to develop in this way, in 1 or 2 years, you will be successful in using Aura without reaching or surpassing level 15. To be honest, your talent is impressive; if trained, you can certainly achieve great things.”

I am honored by the compliments, but my request was not answered.” - Hackel said.

As long as I'm in the capital, I don't see any problems with having one more to teach. Don’t expect me to teach you my secret techniques, but I can help you in... maybe 4 months, awaken your Aura.” - Skarla said, scratching her chin thoughtfully.

"Four months?" - Hackel was now surprised.

Like I said, you are talented, and without the middle level, you could get Aura. If you follow the training you are currently doing, if you follow mine for 4 months maximum, you can get it sooner.”

Hackel smiled. - “Then get ready, because I’m going to torment you for 4 months, and you can’t refuse!” - She said it excitedly, her eyes shining with an intense flame.

"What about me? If you could see my sister’s talent with just one look, do I believe you can do the same for me?” - Angelo said while smiling slightly.

Don’t leave me out; I’m curious too.” - Kalen said, laughing.

Skarla evaluated them, doing some simple calculations, and said: - “Your Highness, Prince Angelo. From what I can see and analyze, you have had great training as a knight; your bones and muscles are quite dense, which indicates that your physical attributes are not too far from the limit. Rather than analyzing how your muscles have developed, you are more focused on explosive power and possessing a lot of endurance and strength. You are capable of enduring long battles without needing to use powerful attacks, but if you did, it would be a race against time, so I recommend you start training to improve your flexibility and to be able to avoid using skills that require a large expenditure of energy. And know that I will be using Princess Hackel as a basis for talent assessment, where, in addition to her natural talent, which I believe is very high, she is also someone at a much higher level and has overcome a barrier; this in itself amplifies her talent.”

But in a very simple way, you have great talent in hand-to-hand combat, carrying around 55~65% of Princess Hackel’s potential in this regard. Regarding energy affinity, which can allow you to use Aura in the future, I would say it is around 30~40%. You have neglected your magical training a lot; I can feel it, and maybe you were unlucky in leveling. The point is, you'll need to put in a lot of effort if you want to potentially use Aura. I also feel the Holy Power within your body; unfortunately, my information on this is low and I can't give a real assessment, but I would say the data is no different from what I just presented.”

Angelo scratched his chin thoughtfully, and with little interaction, Skarla figured him out so well. How much is she able to see?

As for your highness, Prince Kalen, You have great physical conditioning. I can see the individuals of someone who trains with a sword, but also with a spear and bow. You shouldn't focus too much on training hand-to-hand; unfortunately, you don't have much talent for that compared to your brother or sister. But on the other hand, her affinity for energy is not inferior to Princess Hackel; I can even say that it is 5~10% superior. If you have plans to develop your close combat skills, I recommend you focus on being something like a Magical Warrior, focusing on skills and spells to support your combat style.”

If I could recommend it, the study of magic would be the best for you, but I assume that you have already raised enough levels and distributed some attribute points in some physiques, which unfortunately harms certain future possibilities, which makes you dependent on warrior magic as the most plausible path. But if you can develop a good fighting style focused more on speed and dodge like a rogue while leaving the destructive power to magic and related skills, I guarantee that when you unlock the aura, which wouldn't be difficult for you at all, neither your sister would match.”

Kalen smiled, enjoying hearing the last part. - “Really shocking; even the Commander of the Royal Guard doesn't have such a detailed perception. What do you think about accepting me for some training too? It would certainly be a valuable experience for me, with your permission, of course.”

I would not accept refusing your highness, but I hope you understand that there is not much I can teach you other than how to use a sword and some techniques to move in coordination, but in relation to magic, I cannot do anything as I know little. Aura is not something I can instruct you on due to the lack of attributes and the necessary level, I cannot instruct you on Aura. I can teach Princess Hackel because she follows a somewhat similar path, and what I know could be useful to her.”

I don’t see any problems; even if I can’t learn the same as my sister, I will still learn a lot under her tutelage.” - Kalen said, smiling.

As my brother has already taken the initiative, I won’t hold back in asking for the same instructions. I believe that just like magic, you have little knowledge of sacred power, which makes it impossible for you to help me, but the opportunity to duel and learn under your tutelage is something that I, as a warrior, cannot refuse.” - Angelo said, and Skarla smiled.

'This brat is very abusive, inviting himself without even waiting for the other side's response, which forces me to accept since he is a prince.' - Skarla thought during her smile and said. - “I don't see any problems, but I think this could incur complications with those who don't know, so it would be better to have confirmation from the emperor or empress themselves; it would be better to avoid strange rumors or misunderstandings.”

I think it’s unlikely that the parent will refuse, but it’s still a good idea to go and ask.” - Hackel said, and the others nodded.

And before anyone else could start making requests to join the training, Letiphia directed the conversation to other points until the time arrived and she named it, officially indicating the end of the lunch that stretched on for almost 3 hours.

When everyone left, Skarla grabbed Letiphia, lifting her close to her face, where they kissed, and she walked to the bedroom. She still wants to feast more on that wonderful body.

I didn’t expect you to end up agreeing to train royalty.” - Letiphia said, laughing, not caring about the looks from her servants.

No either, but... Hackel interests me.” - Said Skarla.

Did you fall in love with the young woman? I thought you had no interest in what you have and use a lot.” - Letiphia provoked her.

I'm not; I've never had the slightest interest in a dick in my life before, but... something about Hackel attracts me, and it's unlikely to be some artifact. I'm sensitive, and I doubt there's anything like that that confuses my senses and emotions. I guess I’m just attracted to your beauty.”

Do you know what I see when I look at her?” - Letiphia asked, and Skarla was curious.

A version of her, only impulsive and arrogant due to how she was raised, but of course, without all the strength.” - Letiphia said, laughing, and Skarla shrugged. She continued. - “I believe you were attracted to her because you look alike in many ways.”

Maybe. I don't know how I'm really going to act on this, but I'm not some little girl in love; it's just sexual interest, but until something comes up, I have you and a few more beauties to fill my spacious heart.” - Skarla smiled as she gave him a few more kisses.

Letiphia rolled her eyes, hugging her neck, she said. - “I have no problem with you fucking the princess; she has bothered me a lot in the past, and it would be interesting, but having a relationship with royalty will bring problems, especially since she is a star among the emperor's many sons and daughters. As you saw, she has a lot of influence over the princes.”

"Yeah, it looks like she’s going to fuck them both.” - Skarla said, laughing, and Letiphia was surprised by this line. - "Like this?"

You know I literally hear everything in a certain range, so when they hugged and she touched their butts, I heard her words, and from their fear and excitement, it seems like she trained them.” - Skarla laughed, and Letiphia was surprised.

I know the princess bullied her brothers, but… this…” - Letiphia swallowed her saliva.

Rumors abound about this, but the person who disseminated them ultimately faced execution for lying. But if true, Hackel's obvious influence on her siblings is understandable.

Anyway, we will know more about this in the future. I want to test some things with the princess; she is very close to awakening her aura. I want to know if the restriction is really the level, amount of HP and MP, or if only with training and effort is possible.” - Skarla said calmly.

"I hope it works." - Letiphia smiled, and they arrived at the room. The door opened and closed in moments, clothes already disappearing from their bodies.
