Ghoul King's Harem

The loud sound of banging filled the large village of Selmot, a large group of over 400 women in black and red leather armour with a beautiful sheen.

They shimmered in the desert sun, their hands holding swords, lances with bows on their backs.

Thud!

Alexander watched from the stone walls; thanks to the use of his coins, the entire Selmot was like a fortress, towering walls now over 4 metres tall with towers on each corner and gate, with a dozen militia archers standing watch, their eyes focused and bodies taut.

"You gathered quite the little army, my prince." Qilana\'s soft voice sounded, her body standing in full armour beside the handsome male.

He wore a simple black suit with a white shirt and a huge sword on his left hip; the black sheath was beautiful as it seemed to absorb even the sunlight.

\'This elven suit that Laura gave me, It\'s really lucky it has a regenerative feature...\'

"What are you saying, Qilana? They are ours. Not just mine; I got them to protect you."

[Stupid man! Why can\'t you take my hints...]

[Hmph! One month and we\'ve only kissed! Why do you fuck Zilna and all my knights, night after night after night!!!]

"Then why are they always entering your room, especially those dark elves?"

"So I can help them grow stronger."

[How does having sex make them stronger!]

"Hmmm... Can you not make me stronger?"

"No way, then you might beat me."

[!!!]

\'Such a lovely face, my little princess. When the time comes, I will ravish you until you cannot walk.\'

[Ah!?]

"Ah!?"

Qilana seemed so shocked she reacted completely honestly as his hand stroked her cheek, gently fixing her hair; as the training ended, all 400 of his Maidens of Gula were now sweaty and wounded.

"Why do they all fight so fiercely? That girl lost an arm... I know it can be healed; you\'ve shown it before... It makes me nervous." Qilana whispered.

She watched Zilna, her former knight captain, now wearing the Gula armour and looked towards them.

No, she was looking towards Alexander with an affectionate and obsessive look.

\'It\'s fine; they will heal soon anyway; if they don\'t fight seriously, how will these women improve?\'

Thankfully, Alex wasn\'t stupid and arranged for Anna to become Qilana\'s known guardian knight; she was powerful.

"Because they want to survive..."

Only Qilana herself took more of his essence, despite spending the most time enjoying everything but the final step with Qilana almost every night after the others finished.

She seemed not to count it, as those things weren\'t the last line.

Alexander began to walk towards his troops; the time left before the attack was days at best; the gruelling training, fighting monsters in the woods, all of it was for this battle.

\'The scouts said the queen herself is coming, seemingly obsessed with something, her troop\'s number over 15,000... While we have 400 Gula Warriors, 350 Dark Elf Archers and 400 Militia.\'

"It\'s 10 to 1. The odds are tough..." He whispered, looking at the women who swiftly began to rush to the large baths created in the manor\'s garden; thanks to the special properties of magic and desert sands, it was a wonderful health spa now.

"Can we win..." Qilana whispered, her delicate, trembling hands grasping his.

Alexander stopped walking, looking back at the seemingly fragile princess, shaking his head.

He knew this was merely a momentary weakness, and she was far stronger than even he was, but still, he comforted her, not wanting to see her upset.

"I\'m sure we\'ll surprise them."

The two broke apart as she needed to see the village people, ensuring they were all doing well, while he studied the battle plan for the coming fight.

"Come to my room night, Qilana." 

[Eh!? Finally, is he going to do it!]

\'This girl, why do her eyes look so perverted...\'

[Ah!? I am not a pervert!]

"O-okay... I will come to your room; please don\'t bring other women; I might get jealous this time."

Alex walked into his private chambers, where no one could enter without permission.

There was only him and his maids here.

As he entered, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter," His deep baritone voice echoed through the hallways, making the wooden doors swing open slowly.

A small elf woman dressed in pink smiled, walking inside the room and closing the door behind her.

Her long brown hair fell around her shoulders, tied together by a silver ribbon that perfectly matched the colour of her dress; she had bright green eyes, like emeralds, and a cute smile. Her skin was pale compared to the rest of her race due to being born in the mountains near Selmot.

Like Anna, she was another abused elf, also becoming one of his Vesta early on; rather, he called her Enna as the pair became like sisters from the moment he brought her in. 

\'That princess still hasn\'t joined us, rather she sent this letter...\' Alexander thought, looking at the letter written with beautiful writing; inside was an annoying piece of paper.

It was not only a motion to have a meeting but rather that she would be coming to Selmot within 4 days; Alexander learned more about this princess through the many elves he took under his wing.

\'To think that girl is just protective of her people... Now she comes to Selmot in the time of most danger...\'

At first, Alexander hated the elves; they attacked them from nowhere, then tried to capture Venri; rather, it became worse when they accidentally came 400 metres within the dark elf territory and swarmed like ants after honey.

"Enna, how are the preparations to protect Qilana when I am gone?"

His face and voice became serious, the room seemingly covered by a strange barrier; this was the talent that Enna developed after becoming his ghoul; although her combat power was below Venri and Anna, she was exceptional at assassinating and controlling a certain area\'s sound and vision. 

Thus she became the head of his current secret unit, one secret from Qilana, Zilna and even Venri or Anna.

"My lord!" Enna\'s body knelt, her beautiful cleavage squished together as she placed one fist against the ground, looking up at him with her pretty green eyes.

"I have managed to recruit over 500 agile and stealthy elven slaves, the total cost was 10,000 coins, but they are all equal or beyond the current Gula Warriors, daily I have been having them drink and eat the special essence you handed to me, I also have been taking it. Forgive me for being so greedy."

\'What a cute girl, she always tells me the naughty things she did when leaving... Probably wanting to be spanked as punishment as usual.\'

"So, you know exactly what the essence is, right?" Alex asked her, his body leaning forward with a smirk.

Her face showed a rare blush; even when he used her ass or mouth or treated her badly, she never showed emotions, only when being spanked or praised; now, he seemed to have found another little aspect of her.

"It\'s...." 

"Go on."

"It\'s..." She paused, her cheeks turning darker, "...a very tasty thing."

"Ohhh... You\'re such a dirty little slut."

"!!!" 

Enna\'s body shuddered from his curse; she almost dropped the sound barrier due to her shock; it was rare for her master to be so crass or vulgar unless they were in bed together; she looked up to see his eyes staring at her like a wolf eyeing a rabbit.

"Don\'t tell anyone else about the Essence, understand?"

"Y-yes, sir!"

With that, Alex stood up, pulling her up with him; his strong arms lifting her easily.

"Now go and prepare the rooms for the new arrivals; I need some privacy."

"Yes, Master!"

"Ah, wait..." 

"Eh, yes... master?"

He held Enna\'s body tightly, giving her a strong squeeze, before kissing her lips; this girl worked as hard in the shadows as Anna in the sunlight.

"You may join me tonight after everyone has gone to sleep and Qilana has passed out from pleasure."

"Of course, master!"

"Good."

Enna\'s soft arms wrapped around his back as they kissed passionately, her soft pink lips sucking on his tongue with her eyes closed tightly as if wishing this moment would never end.

***

After several hours of preparation and training, the men who joined the militia and became Vrykuls picked village women as their wives, like a huge matchmaking, and the women of Gula finally made it to the village gates.

All 400 warriors of Gula were dressed in black leather armour, with weapons strapped across their backs and bows on their chests; they were adorned with colourful flowers and feathers.

While the 600 warriors of Selmot were a mixed troop of males and females, all clad in light and heavy armour, carrying spears, shields and swords, each of them also carried a bow on their hips and arrows on their belts.

They marched side by side, ready to strike down anything that dared stand in their way.

The sun was setting fast, the moon rising high above them as the massive gate opened, revealing the main street of the village; it was lined with buildings of wood, stone and metal, filled with thousands upon thousands of elves and humans alike, all waiting eagerly for the arrival of the enemy.

"Alexander has them practising this every night at random times each day..." Qilana whispered as she was also suited and ready to fight; beside her were Zilna and Anna, who gave the cute princess a wry smile.

"He said, should the enemy catch them off guard, he wanted to retaliate with full strength as quickly as possible, no matter what time, state and day," Zilna replied. Her voice was passionate and filled with pride.

"Mmmm, he also wanted them to be this disciplined for the future, as not every battle will be face-to-face."

"That fool... He is always so busy with different women I thought he might be a fake... Did he arrange all this for my safety? Idiot... If he cares that much, why not just sleep with me..." 

"..."

"..."

Anna and Zilna looked awkward as criminals who slept with him every night and enjoyed the taste of his essence almost whenever they wanted.

Still, they knew that the women he truly treasures most in this world were Qilana and the elven princess, but neither complained as they also realised he would treat them the same as themselves once they were also Vesta.

"That idiot wants to give you a perfect first time..." Anna whispered, a little jealous.

"Perfect... He likes her more than everyone else and wants to treasure her a little. haha!" Zilna also, with a bitter tone, laughed.

But for the princess, it felt even more insulting that two women that bang her future husband each night were acting inferior and jealous of her.
