As Viktor moved through the garden toward the manor, his mind churned through logistics.
He'd promised the villagers fair payment for gathering poisonous herbs—yeah, for them it was fair, and by now, they'd likely stockpiled quite a bit.
Using Gareth's carriage was the obvious solution—efficient, practical, and saved time.
But more importantly, he needed labor. Strong backs and willing hands.
For what?
"For a forge," he muttered as he looked directly towards the huge tower appearing from miles away within the mountain ranges, a perfect spot for him.
The Tower loomed in the distance, its glowing purple-pink light visible even in broad daylight. It pulsed like a heartbeat, casting eerie shadows across the countryside.
A place where he could finally put Mira's abilities to work—Forge Master and Craftsman Genius—skills that would allow him to create weapons and armor that could rival anything produced by ducal families.
High-quality gear. Masterclass weapons. Legendary-tier equipment that adventurers would kill for.
And he needed it done fast.
It wouldn't be long before word spread. Adventurers. Hunters. Glory-seeking idiots looking to make a name for themselves.
They'd come.
Viktor estimated maybe a week or two.
And when they did, he needed to be ready. Traps. Defenses. Challenges designed specifically to loot them—and break them.
He smirked to himself.
The smile was simply because he was going to create a casino here.
Just like how ten gamblers enter among whom just one wins the money of the five while the four is kept by the casino. He was going to farm attract more such gamblers to create endless loop to feed his family.
After all, he would have many wives, many children, who need food, and food comes from money and money needs power to be protected creating an endless loop which can only be maintained by having a business.
The business of a Dungeon lord.
'This is going to be fun.'
Viktor stepped through the manor doors, the cool interior air washing over him like a relief after the afternoon heat.
He scanned the main hall quickly.
Mira stood near the dining table, wearing another self-made tight alluring dress though the stitches were too raw, making him think if he should make more for them—given his ability, he might just pull off a rabbit costume, latex suit, or stockings easily.
'Fuck, is my nose bleeding?' Viktor really felt it just by imagining it on them, even though he had enough of his wives, it made him feel super hot.
What could he do? She looked just that hot. Her dark hair was still damp, clinging to her neck and shoulders. She was idly cleaning one of Kaida's daggers with a rag, her green eyes seeming focused.
Helena was nearby, holding a towel and squeezing water from her long brown hair. Her enormous chest strained against the fabric of her dress, the damp material clinging to every curve.
She looked freshly bathed.
'Wait, did she think I wanted her to bathe?' Viktor chuckled, realizing that most probably Helena had misinterpreted his earlier words about her accompanying Mira or little Toby.
Kaida leaned against the nearby wall while observing Toby playing nearby, arms crossed beneath her breasts, red eyes flicking toward him with a mixture of irritation and something else.
Her short red hair was messy, sticking up in places, and her expression screamed perverted beast before she even opened her mouth.
Bella emerged from the hallway, the same as before when she had bounced on his cock just a few minutes ago greedily, screaming vulgar words unlike how innocent she looked right now.
"Y-you're here." The voice interrupted his thoughts as he turned to look toward a ledger, a file, which he blinked at, taking a peek at the one held in Elara's hand.
"What is this?" he asked, curious, as he did not expect her to even talk to him after what he had shown her just a few minutes ago.
"Lady Mira gave me these documents. I corrected the tax calculations she made mistakes in." Elara used her finger to point toward the notebook, making Viktor look at it before turning toward Mira.
'Wait, didn't I tell her—' But he wasn't able to complete his thought about how he had told Mira that this was useless since they could not enforce taxation universally in Millbrook, as he saw a soft smile on Mira's lips, eyes narrowed as she telepathically told him.
// Praise her, she would become addicted to it... //
'Woah.' As he heard her message, Viktor realized.
Mira was too awesome.
"Thank you. Thank you for helping her," Viktor said as he gently lifted his hand and placed it on Elara's head to pat her.
'!'
"Wh-what are you doing!?" She was clearly taken aback as she suddenly flushed, stumbling back while retreating, holding her head in shock.
"Huh? I was just praising you?" Viktor acted innocent.
"Praising me!? Am I a child!?" Elara yelled, shocked, as she wanted to say more—like how her mind flashed to those images, how he had placed that hand on Kaida as he had held her hair while she sucked his thing greedily.
He had used the same hand to clean juices off both women on his cloth.
But she couldn't. She just turned and distanced herself, clicking her tongue as if accepting she would have to go through all this regularly now.
// That was unexpected. Did you show her too much? //
'Nope, just Kaida being a pervert sucked me off in front of her.' Viktor shrugged his shoulders, acting innocent, as he looked toward Kaida, including her in the telepathic message.
// What the hell, you bastard!? I was just cleaning that lustful cat's mess! // Kaida yelled telepathically before turning toward Bella.
// Wh-what? Miss Kaida, but weren't you just sucking him off to compete with Lady Helena? // Bella, having her voice much more open now—as if Viktor had opened her throat by making her moan and gag—clearly pointed out the real culprit, shocking Kaida as she didn't expect her to get back at her like this.
// You—// Before Kaida could speak, Helena interjected.
// If Kaida wants, then we can suck husband off together to see who makes him come fast. // Helena, as understanding as she was, thinking how she should maintain harmony, gave a suggestion that only acted as fuel to the fire.
// Y-YOU PERVERTED WOMEN, SHUT UP! // Kaida could only yell at these dirty women as if she hadn't become like them.
While hearing all this banter, Viktor—even with his mind crowded with all the telepathic messages—felt the true joy of a householder.
'Sigh. How peaceful.'
"Okay, okay, listen up everyone." Viktor clapped his hands together sharply, the sound echoing through the room.
All four heads snapped toward him instantly.
He grinned, letting the silence stretch for just a moment too long.
"Excuse me, ladies," he said, his tone light but carrying an undercurrent of authority. "But I think it's time we all did some hard work."
The reactions were immediate.
Helena's face flushed bright pink, her hands clutching the towel tighter against her chest.
Bella's cat ears flattened against her head, her eyes going wide as saucers.
Mira glanced up, a teasing smile playing at the corners of her lips. Her eyes gleamed with mischief.
Kaida groaned audibly, rolling her red eyes. "This perverted beast..."
Viktor coughed, suddenly very aware of the tightness in his pants.
'Damn it.'
"Not that kind of hard work," he clarified quickly, raising a hand. His voice was a bit strained. "I meant actual work. Physical labor. We're moving out to our new home."
Silence.
Five—including Toby, six—pairs of eyes stared at him blankly.
Then—
"WHHHHHATTT!?"
All five women shouted in perfect unison, their voices blending into a single note of pure shock that rattled the windows.
Viktor's grin widened.
"We're leaving the manor."
Helena's mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water. "L-leaving? But Young Master, this is our home—"
"The Tower," Kaida interrupted, her sharp mind already piecing it together. Her eyes narrowed. "You want to move closer to the Tower."
"No, why would we move near that thing?"
Viktor crossed his arms, his dark eyes sweeping over all of them.
"Ah, yes." Kaida nodded, realizing that it was impractical to begin with.
"We are going to live inside of it."
'!'
"HEHHH?!!"
