The four of them, having committed adultery together, began preparing to leave the Phoenix Fire Kingdom for the upcoming academy entrance exam, which would be held in the Frozen Kingdom in three months.
They planned to pass through the Aqualand Kingdom to pick up Silverene (Silvy) along the way.
As their journey began in a carriage—now comfortable thanks to springs invented by Ares and mass-produced throughout the empire—all four sat inside: Ares and Veronica on one side, and Delvia and Greneta opposite them.
"Muh~ I want to sit beside my master too~"
"Umm, me too."
"Shut up! The seat beside master is exclusively mine, humph! Since childhood."
Ares smiled as he looked out of the carriage, amused by the bickering among his women.After many hours, the scenery outside began to change.
The sun dipped lower while the humidity increased as they approached the Aqualand Kingdom.
At nightfall, the carriage stopped at the border of Aqualand to rest.
They set up camp outside, ate together, and then slept.
By midday the next day, they reached Atlacis, the capital of Aqualand Kingdom, where Silvy had been training for years.

Inside a dungeon, a girl could be seen fighting a giant octopus alone.
Boom Boom
Explosions echoed throughout the dungeon.
"Ahhhhhhhh... PHOENIX REVIVE!!" she screamed beautifully as she raised her sword to the sky.
She summoned a large blazing bird named Phoenix.
"End him, my beloved Phoenix," she ordered. The Phoenix attacked the octopus with fire breath, engulfing the monster in blue flames and killing the dungeon lord.
"Hah, the dungeon is cleared," Silvy murmured to herself, recalling the Phoenix. Her body was drained from the high mana cost and from injuries inflicted by the dungeon lord.
/-------------------------------------------------------
Ares and his companions asked around the city about Silvy and soon learned that she was at the healing hall, curing her wounds after successfully defeating the dungeon lord.
Ares was excited to meet his fiancée again after five long years. His heartbeat quickened as he approached the healing hall.
He asked at the reception about Silvy, then went to see her.
All four of them gathered in the room where she was resting after being healed.
Ares knocked on the door and entered.
"Missed my handsome face, Silvy, hehe."
Silvy was shocked to see Ares at the door.
"Greve??"
"Uh—huh, no. My new name is Ares, hehe. Like it?"
Silvy jumped into his arms, hugging him tightly as tears welled up. Ares embraced her just as tightly.
After explaining everything for two long hours, they stayed wrapped in each other's arms. Silvy clung to him, not wanting to let go.
"Umm, young lady Silverene, don't you think clinging like this is a bit... unladylike?" Veronica said in a slightly irritated and jealous tone. Greneta and Delvia nodded firmly from behind her.
"Got a problem?" Silvy said coldly, in sharp contrast to her usual kind tone, clearly annoyed at the interruption.
"Oh yeah, a lot of problems," Veronica replied coldly, her eyes darkening as the yandere within her threatened to surface.
"Hey, hey, don't heat up the room. Please calm down, ladies.
""SHUT UP!!!" both screamed in unison.
"Sorrrrrrrrrryyyyyy..."

Elsewhere, inside a cave, a young man laughed maniacally while holding a glowing sword.
"Haha, haha, finally! Now I'm going to be invincible, haha!" The handsome man laughed. His silver hair revealed his origin—he was from the Fairyland Kingdom, the kingdom of light.
"Hehe, System, tell me what my next mission is," the handsome man muttered to the air.
(A/N:- sorry was busy due to work and FESTIVAL!!! In my country, HEHE, be patient please.)
