Chapter 62: Princess Maid

"I can see the capital already, Minmin!" Yuna's voice drew Minato's eyes ahead.

He was having fun with Yunyun, making her look around for any foreigners. It was pretty embarrassing to cuddle this much on their way toward the capital.

Minato didn't care, and he also used an excellent excuse to keep his wife close to him.

It was... snowy!

A green forest turned into white woodland. Animals adapted to their environment, having thicker fur and bodies. The temperature spared no one, or at least it tried to.

Minato and Yuna could ignore the snowy environment because their physiques are out of this world.

They were just stronger.

However, it was a new land! A new land came with foreign snacks and clothes.

It would be a sin to not see his wife in new clothes. Elves also looked phenomenally in those clothes, though no one really liked them.

However, a lot of elves grew up in a dungeon. They needed to wear those clothes should they want to stomp in the Majestic Ice Kingdom's capital.

The Elven Queen was exuded from that list.

Alas, Minato still forced her to wear more clothes outside. In their home, the elven forest, Ingrid naturally could wear the elven's skimpy clothes.

But outside? That was out of the question.

Minato wouldn't allow anyone to look at Ingrid's body. In her tribe, that was fine since it was an elven custom.

The world had many races and people whose lust knew no bounds. It was unpleasant too, so Minato conveyed his wishes to Ingrid.

She was secretly overjoyed as Minato's possessiveness yet again made her feel treasured. Perhaps, at some point, love would bloom together with that peculiar emotion.

"Let's go straight to the Ice Volcano," Minato chuckled.

"Yes, Minmin!" Yuna shared his sentiment.

Were it not for the lack of bags or equipment, the couple would've looked like adventures or merchants. However, their bodies were clad in clothes, no less, no more.

That was precisely why a certain princess was aware of their arrival.

A man with quite a friendly face and a unique aura...

A blonde woman with otherworldly beauty and a gentle smile...

A black-haired woman with sharp eyes and lofty demeanor...

Out of these three descriptions, the two were on the spot!

The guards protecting the capital's walls and surroundings respectfully called out Minato and welcomed them to their abode.

In the guard's dwelling, Minato and Yuna received a warm drink. The guards were also sociable, overly sociable, actually.

They apologized a few times already because their lady took their time to answer their call.

"That lady must be Julia... If not her, then who?" Minato chuckled as he tried the first food from the Majestic Ice Kingdom.

It was warm, quite close to hot, yet it didn't gnaw on his tongue. If he wanted, Minato would be able to drink it in one go!

Though it didn't storm Minato's palate, the drink heated his body as if he tasted a little of lava. It was pleasant warmth that would allow him to stay in scanty clothes during winter days for at least a week.

Minato and Yuna nodded, "That's a nice drink! Can we have more?"

"Yes! Of course! Yes!" The guard replied, flustered, then rushed to prepare a few more drinks for the couple.

These two grinned at each other, then waited for more snacks.

At last, Julia came, and her eyes dilated as she noticed a lot of empty cups.

Minato smiled at her, "It seems like you haven't expected us here this soon."

"That's right," Julia's lips curved up into a dazzling smile, "I expected you to not use Cloud Status to enter the city, though."

Minato gave her a thumbs up, then invited her for some drinks.

Julia chuckled at this gesture while the guards stared in disbelief at the newbie Overlord... It was their abode, was it?

However, the princess offered a better deal, "Come to my home. It has everything our kingdom can offer. Since I know you have a big family, I will prepare many snacks and drinks for a small request."

Minato raised one of his eyebrows, "What request?"

"It's related to the dungeon. That's all I can say without revealing too much," Julia smiled awkwardly.

However, Minato and Yuna knew that she could shoo away all the guards from their abode with one swift hand move.

Yet, she didn't do it.

That was because she just wanted to invite Minato to her home, and that deed would go against her wish.

That was one thing... Julia also could use Mind Whisper!

Minato smiled, "I guess we can see your home. Is it the castle? I haven't been in a castle, actually."

"A new castle might be the inspiration for our future home," Yuna nodded.

The couple stood up and followed Julia out of the guards' abode.

They all stared at the development with curiosity and a lot of shocks...

It was rare for the princess to show this much attention to a man!

A man with a wife already, no less!

"Is it just you two? Ah, that's true... You have your own world," Julia asked, then corrected herself as realization sprouted within her.

Yuna chuckled, "We had little companions... Alas, they couldn't follow us for too long... Otherwise, a certain man would unconsciously impregnate many elven women."

Minato coughed a lot, "I will have little foxes first."

"That would be nice... but it's unlikely, Minmin. My physique is... too unique... It was already a miracle for me to be born with it... But I would be more than elated if I could pass it to at least one of our children." Yuna explained, then genuinely smiled at Minmin.

Perhaps, the Overlord Physique would be able to fulfill her wish.

And as Yuna thought as such, her smile widened, and her beauty dazzled all around her. The princess paled in comparison to the happy and cheerful fox wife!

Minato didn't reply but inwardly swore to fulfill that wish.

He then shifted his eyes to Julia, "Since we can talk in Mind Whisper. Do you want me to not take your dungeon?"

Julia already made it clear she knew about Minato's power.

That was why he bluntly asked her this question.

Julia shook her head, "I want you to conquer it... It would help us... Still, the dungeon is a treasure vault in itself. Many of my brothers and sisters, nobles, wouldn't like to see it disappearing from their eyes.

They will make sure to stop you... I don't know whether my siblings already learned about your appearance here..." Julia sighed.

Only now did Minato notice her appearance was different from the outsiders. The guards still knew that it was the princess' order as they wouldn't take orders from someone who hid their appearance.

It was a big 'if' whether the guards told someone about her request.

Julia looked up to the sky, "I want to buy treasures from the dungeon from you after you conquer it... If not money, then I am willing to listen. As long as it's a fair deal... A fair deal seems a little impossible, doesn't it?"

Minato and Yuna didn't reply.

Julia sighed, "A woman from the low world wouldn't even give you any benefits from dual cultivation. Money... You would be able to get a lot more from the neighboring empire. The dungeon's entrance? I don't think you would have any problems secretly entering one... What can we give to you? I thought about it..."

Now that Julia invited Minato to the capital and strolled the city with him, Minato would just need to use Bei's magic circles. He would be able to enter the dungeon within the capital...

She didn't regret her choice, however.

Her world never saw the disappearance of the dungeon... However, they knew about it due to the records spread across the universe.

If Minato died in the dungeon, it was doubtful for any of them to conquer it... If he survived and conquered more, taking more dungeons would be a piece of cake.

That was why Julia wanted to strengthen her kingdom!

She carefully spoke with Minato about the dungeons.

She didn't ask for the elven treasures, nor did she want to buy them. It would be good if Minato tried to sell them here, but her goal was to make sure the treasures from the ice dungeon would fall into their hands.

Those treasures would ensure the kingdom's longevity.

Minato smiled, "A warm welcome... That's one treasure... Your conduct is worth... at least one hundred treasures."

"O-One hundred?" Julia turned around and gawked at Minato with widened eyes.

Her blue hair fluttered as she stood motionless, her mouth parted into a cute 'O' expression.

Minato once again chuckled, "We want to see the Ice Volcano... If you manage to reserve one for us for the whole day and night, I will give you many more treasures. If elves are happy, then you will get even more...

Haha! If I could get one for my world, I would give even more!" Minato brightly laughed while scratching his head.

He was sure that taking a part of the world was impossible for him... It was easier with dungeons as they had many purposes, but the world?

It was indeed impossible.

But as he grew stronger, wouldn't that be possible as well?

Minato pondered while Julia batted her cute eyes, "I will take care of you! I will make your stay here the best vacation ever! Give me one day to prepare, though!"

"Haha! Sure," Minato nodded.

That day, the princess brought Minato to her house and gave him the best guest room.

That day, the princess shocked a few maids as she ordered them to pass all their knowledge and experience to her!

She would serve the quests... with all her royalty looks and demeanor mixed with the standard maid service!

That would be indeed a sight to behold!
