“What kind of rare magical monster was it? I’m curious…” Henrik inquired, intrigued, what kind of exotic Magical Monster did the husband of those said Unparalleled beauties hunt that it became a sensational rumor.
‘No matter how exotic Magical Monster he hunts, he is still someone I can crush with my feet like any other.’ Henrik reflected.
Although Yuan, the husband of those unparalleled beauties, is a very powerful hunter capable of hunting ‘C’ or ‘B’ rank monsters, his power as a fifth-circle mage and the heir of the Monbrook family pales in comparison.
And he has the power to crush Yuan under his feet in front of his wives. He has nothing to worry about when it comes to courting Yuan’s wives because no one in Monbrook would dare to go against his wishes.
As the young Lord of the Monbrook household, he has ultimate authority over the whole Monbrook city, as well as the Monbrook city’s genius lightning mage.
“Well, according to the recent rumor young master Yuan wanted to sell a rare breed of wolves’ hide— Greater Flame wolf’s hide.” With a slight smile on her face, the innkeeper responded a bit later.
The innkeeper was certain that after hearing the magical monster slaughtered by Young Master Yuan, Young Lord Henrik would forgo the idea of going after his wives and leave her Inn immediately.
After hearing the innkeeper’s statements, Henrik and his servant Caden appear astonished and in disbelief. How can a single person effectively hunt down a monster that would require a group of expert A-rank hunters? Is the Innkeeper teasing them?
It was general knowledge in this world that hunting a single Greater Flame wolf required a large number of A-Rank hunters, due to the Greater Flame wolves’ exceptionally quick speed and sharp claws, which could easily tear apart heavy armor.
‘Isn’t the fur of the Greater Flame wolves the highly sought-after material by the high-ranking noble family such as the Young Lord’s Monbrook family?’ Caden thought with a disbelief look on his face.
‘I should immediately warn the young master about it before he does something wrong. Killing a Greater Flame wolf is not an easy task, not even for an S-rank hunter, let alone killing one of them alone.’ Caden’s face immediately turned serious as he understood the meaning behind the Innkepper’s words.
“A Greater Flame wolf, huh? An exotic Magical Monster whose hide is highly sought-after material by us– Nobles. Not bad for the husband of those said Unparalleled beauties, he is quite capable.” Henrik mumbled a moment later in a dazed voice.
“To slay a Greater Flame wolf alone would require an incredibly large amount of mana and a powerful ranged magic spell. Moreover, one would require a very keen perception to take down a target such as the Greater Flame wolf who is known for their exceptional speed.”
“He is a very powerful mage, perhaps even stronger than me— A fifth-circle lightning mage. No wonder those unparalleled beauties are following him, this explains a lot.” Henrik said afterward.
After listening to Henrik’s words, The innkeeper shook her head and said, “However, you’re wrong about one thing Young Lord Henrik.”
“And that is?” Henrik frowned his eyes at the innkeeper, wondering what is she trying to say.
“The rumor doesn’t say that he only hunted one Greater Flame wolf and waited to sell its hide. Instead, he sold 27 Greater Flame wolves’ hide at the hunter association and numerous hunters have witnessed it with their own eyes.”
“27 of them?!” Young Lord Henrik and his servant Caden were shocked after hearing the innkeeper’s words, causing them to stagger.
“Killing a single Greater Flame wolf is an accomplishment to be proud of. But killing 27 of them…” Caden couldn’t help but mumble in a dazed voice, as he felt fear towards the husband of those unparalleled beauties.
At this point, not only Caden but Henrik also couldn’t help but feel fear towards Yuan after hearing the Innkepper’s words.
He had read many records about powerful mages, magic knights, warriors, and even Heroes, however, none of them were able to kill more than four to five Greater Flame wolves alone, let alone an entire group of wolves.
A moment later, Caden concerned about his safety, asked, “Young Lord Henrik, I don’t think it’s a good idea to approach those beauties when their husband is with them. Shall we return to the mansion now?”
“Return back? No, we’ll not return until I meet those said Unparalleled beauties.” Henrik said.
‘It will ruin my face if I return without bringing those beauties with me back to the mansion. I’ve already informed my friends that I have taken those unparalleled beauties as my concubines, so I can’t go back empty-handed.’ Henrik said to himself inwardly.
Before coming here, he had already informed his friends and fellow brothers at the magic academy that he had taken those rumored unparalleled beauties as his concubines.
If he were to return empty-handed now, not only would it ruin his face among other noble heirs but would also shame his family name, which he cannot let happen even if he has to die.
‘I tried to infuse fear into Young Lord Henrik’s heart, but it appears that it’s not working at all…’ the innkeeper sighed.
“But Young Lord–” But before Caden could finish his sentence, he received a cold gaze from Henrik and forcefully shut his mouth.
“I know he is strong— very strong.” Henrik’s face suddenly turned very serious, and he said, “However, I can’t return back to the mansion empty-handed now, since I have already informed my friends and fellow brothers from the magic academy that I’ve taken the rumored unparalleled beauties as my concubines.”
“And if I return empty-handed now, it will not only ruin my face but it will also put shame on my family name and I cannot let that happen as the heir of the Monbrook family,” Henrik said afterward.
‘What?! How could young Lord Henrik think of taking other people’s wives as his concubines?! And he is shameless enough to boast that he already acquired them as his concubines?! Is he an idiot?!’ The innkeeper cried inwardly after hearing Young Lord Henrik’s boastful words.
‘I know young Lord Henrik can be unreasonable sometimes. However, this time it’s something else…’ Caden couldn’t help but sigh in his heart after hearing his master’s words.
A few minutes later, Yuan and his wives arrived at at the reception table after finishing their breakfasts and saw that the Innkeeper was talking with the new guests.
“Miss Innkeeper, you’re here,” Yuan approached the innkeeper with his wives, he didn’t forget to look at the guest the innkeeper was talking to.
After hearing Yuan’s voice, the innkeeper turned her head, and said, “Oh, Esteemed guests, are you guys heading out now?”
“Indeed,” Yuan nodded with a smile on his face, and said, “We have a very busy day ahead, so we don’t want to waste our time. And there is a chance that we may come late today, you wouldn’t mind that right?”
“Why, of course not. A little late is fine but don’t be too late.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Then Yuan’s eyes landed on the two individuals the innkeeper was talking to, he had a frown on his face as he looked at the two individuals before them.
‘From the clothes they’re wearing they must be from a high-ranking noble family for sure, only a select few can wear clothes of this quality.’ Yuan thought as he inspected them head to toe.
Meanwhile, Henrik and Caden are stunned after witnessing the beauty of Yuan’s wives. Henrik had never seen women as beautiful as them before, and their beauty could only be described as Unparalleled in this world.
Even though Henrik has witnessed a fair share amount of beauties before none of them could compare with the beauties before him, and he can’t help but fall in love with them instantly.
Caden was the same as his master Henrik, even though he had witnessed the beauty of Yuan’s wives before but seeing them up closed left him speechless. 𝘪𝘳𝒶.𝘤𝑜𝓂
“Beautiful…” Only this word came out of Henrik’s mouth after witnessing Yuan’s wives’ attractiveness, which led Yuan’s wives to frown at him.
“Young Lord, didn’t I tell you that you wouldn’t be disappointed by their beauty?” Caden commented, noticing the pleasant gleam in Henrik’s eyes.
“Indeed, they’re just simply too beautiful.” Henrik reacted while admiring Yuan’s wives’ attractiveness.
“I made the right decision by coming here,” he said, “they’re truly worthy to be my concubines. Furthermore, I am confident that having them as concubines will significantly improve my fame and influence throughout the Kingdom.”
‘Fuck!! This is terrible!! Is he aware of what he’s rambling about in front of their husband?! Nobles are indeed despicable!!’ The innkeeper cried inwardly, and her heart began to beat faster and faster.
Henrik then abruptly approached Yuan and his women, ignoring Yuan’s presence as though he didn’t exist, and set his gaze on the unparalleled beauties behind him.
“Good morning, ladies,” he began with a practiced charm, a subtle arrogance tinged his tone. “I am Henrik Monbrook, heir of the esteemed Monbrook household.”
Yuan’s wives exchanged a glance but remained composed, their silence a formidable response.
‘What is this imbecile trying to accomplish? Is he attempting to court us?’ When they saw Henrik’s behavior, Anna and the others thought inwardly as they’d encountered such situations in the past.
Henrik, undeterred, continued, “I’ve heard tales of your unparalleled beauty. Stories that did little justice compared to the reality before me.”
