"And if you are wrong, it will be our lord who will pay the consequences of your error. With these words you will not manage to convince me."
Simón already believed to a great extent Olleg's words, but this subject gave him a very bad presentiment.
"I believe that if we remain here we will not get anywhere. It will be better that you see it for yourself before taking a decision."
Mary desisted from convincing Simón and decided to let him see the situation for himself.
"Very well, take me to the battle front so that I may judge the things on my own."
Simón also felt curiosity to know what kind of war that was which had lasted two thousand years.
"Very well, then we head toward there now. Could you wait a few minutes while we prepare the portal?"
Without waiting for Simón's answer, Mary, together with other witches, began to chant spells in a strange tongue that Simón and his group did not know.
A few minutes later a dark portal of two meters in height appeared.
"We are ready to depart, Lord Simón," Mary said.
Simón did not enter at once.
First he looked at Rubén, and the latter nodded.
Then Simón knew that that portal was trustworthy.
"Then let us go, Miss Mary."
"Please, call me Mary."
Mary took the initiative and entered first.
After that, Simón and his group followed her into the portal.
**Battle Front**
After a few moments, they came out of the portal at the battle front.
**BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM**
That was the sound of the hearts of Simón and his group, accelerated upon seeing what they had in front of them.
At that moment they found themselves on the summit of an immense ice wall of one hundred meters in height.
Simón's face was pale.
What he had in front of him was, by far, the most impactful thing he had seen in his life.
After calming himself a little, although his legs still trembled, he looked at Mary and said:
"I understand what you want to say. Do not worry; at once I will depart and inform my lord of what I saw here. In addition, we have a great deal of armament on our ships and I am certain that it will serve a great deal."
"We will be grateful to you."
"When you said that you had a powerful enemy, I imagined anything but this."
"Very well, Rubén. Without you saying it I can see it. Now what we have to do is hurry and bring the armament from the ships."
Simón interrupted Rubén's words, with a firm and dignified face.
**Solomon City – André's Study**
In Solomon City, inside André's study, he found himself reclining on Amanda's lap, enjoying a rare moment of rest.
"Look at how you are now; you are still a child," Amanda said in jest while massaging André's hair.
"Only for you will I always be a child," André answered with a smile, keeping his eyes half-closed.
"I have heard that Rose and Grace are your formal girlfriends." Amanda smiled playfully upon saying those words.
"And I thought that you missed me and came to see me. Now I realize that you have other motives."
André put on a face of sadness and also mocked Amanda.
"Who is the one who never visits me and only spends the time in his study or in his laboratory? It seems that your room is only an ornament."
"I cannot help it. Lately I have had a great deal of pending work. We are in a stage of accelerated development.
When things normalize I will have time to see you every day; later do not complain if you cannot stand me."
"That will not happen. But do you believe that I do not know that you changed the conversation in a disguised manner?
Come on, tell me what you intend with them. Once and for all I warn you that if your intention is to play with them, I will be the first not to be in agreement with these relationships."
Amanda returned rapidly to the previous subject.
"How is that possible, Mom? I go out with them with the intention of marrying both.
Perhaps there will be more than two in the future, but no matter how many they are, I will not go out with anyone if I do not have plans to marry."
André's words were sincere.
As a man of the modern era, now he had the opportunity to have his own harem and he planned to take advantage of it.
He remembered that in his previous life he could only look with envy at the Arab sheikhs.
It was not only the money, but the fact that they had their harem with all the legality.
In his previous life he had been an avid reader of novels.
He knew that many people hated harem stories, but in André's opinion, they simply felt envy of those protagonists, since they had no opportunity.
André was certain that if someone from his previous life were in his place, he would do the same.
If someone acted in a contrary form, either it was a woman or he did not like women.
"I see. Then, what about Sofía? If you do not plan to form a relationship with her, it is better not to encourage her.
I realize that she is beginning to look at you in a different way."
Amanda's words pleasantly surprised André.
In reality, Sofía pleased him a great deal, but he was not certain of how she thought about him.
"In reality Sofía pleases me a great deal, Mom. So those were your true intentions.
Tell me, who asked you to act as a spy? I did not expect you to sell me out."
André feigned an expression of betrayal while mocking.
"I had no other choice. Seeing my son, who wants his own harem and does not realize the feelings of those who surround him."
Amanda launched a critical blow, filling André's face with shame.
"Of course I had realized it. It is just that I had not found the opportunity to speak with her."
André would never admit that he did not realize Sofía's feelings.
"I am glad to hear that."
"You have not told me who asked you to act as a spy."
"This morning, that girl Grace approached me and told me her concerns about Sofía."
"Grace is always so conscientious. That is what I like about her."
André was delighted upon knowing that Grace did not oppose him initiating a relationship with Sofía.
He felt like shouting in a loud voice:
**LONG LIVE THE HAREM!**
