The purge of the noble families which began with the coronation ceremony proceeded smoothly.

It did not end with the death of the nobles of the Imperial faction only. Kings and Nobles of every Kingdom who were corrupted had a hand in committing unforgivable crimes, all of them were executed without mercy.

There was an atmosphere of terror, and everyone felt that they might be killed at the slightest grievance so many rushed forward to confess their crimes.

Both the cause and the power were on his side, so they could not resist and they had no other choice but to get slaughtered helplessly.

It was ridiculous for them to even threaten Alex with that kind of power in the first place.

'Well, ants are born to be crushed. Father's seclusion had loosened the administrative power.'

Due to the large-scale purge, many vacancies were created inside the Imperial Castle. If not for Alex holding everything with his tyranny, the Kinley might have collapsed now.

'It would not be a bad idea to fill up the vacancy with the guys who had contributed greatly.'

Those who have good abilities but do not shine because of their background and existing vexed interest.

With a sigh, Alex put down the paper containing the list of candidates and raised the teacup with one hand while his other hand caressed the lovely redhead snuggling against his chest.

"Have you calmed down?''

"Hmm!"

A soft whimper emerged from her.

Alex's heart softened seeing her messy dishevelled hair.

"Thankss!"She murmured faintly.

Alex put down his cup, and wrapped his hands around her hugged feeling her soft skin brushing him.

It would be a lie if he said he was not afraid. Soul damage was hard to heal. Her parent's souls were almost corrupted and even if they forcefully tore both sides, they might never recover.

So, after they attacked Alex leaving Yvonne's parent's bodies, Alex destroyed them and after cleansing their souls had been trying to heal them.

Each of his wives had lost their parents. So, he did not want to lose his only in-laws.

It was a pity he realised this later.

'Fortunately, Father protected Riya's soul otherwise with God Of Darkness corrupting her she might have already died.'

If his father had not left the safety plans, he wouldn't have been wasting time purging things here.

Alex, who fell into deep thought, suddenly snapped out of his thought feeling a soft touch on his lips.

His eyes widened with surprise seeing Yvonne voluntarily kissing her.

Alex was about to fight back but Yvonne withdrew and spoke with a flustered expression"That's enough."

"Wait!''

Before Alex could pull her, Yvonne ran away like a frightened kitty.

"Damn...They are becoming more courageous. Just wait, after I finish everything you will regret playing with me."

Cough...Cough...

Alex stared at the door and raised his brows seeing two old foxes.

"Your Majesty, it seems you are busy. We will come later."The Elder of Wolftribesman spoke.

"Shut up and say why are you here?"

Enoch gave the old wolf a glare who in turn helplessly stepped back.

Enoch sighed and stepped forward"Your Majesty, since you ascended when are we going to hold the Empress ceremony and who will be the Empress?"

Alex folded his arms giving the two a stare.

"In name, Catherine would be designated as Empress but in terms of power and task, each of them will hold significant power."

Alex took a sip, explaining his plans.

"Catherine will look after the administration.'

"Christina will be in charge of the military."

"Yvonne will take care of the wealth sector."

"Athena will look after the warfare of citizens."

"Your Majesty, we wanted to talk about that."

Alex stared at Elder Wolf's confused expression.

"Is there a problem with Elder Nioky?"

"Highness, an Emperor needs to be heartless.I know you love your wives and want to divide the power equally but it may be troublesome in future."

Alex's body froze for a moment. He was not that dense in understanding the underlying meaning.

"There may exist harmony among you but what about your descendants?'

"And then your grandchildren. Fighting for the throne can never be prevented. Still, the Emperors tried to control the scale and balance the noble families. But now since noble families have been mostly purged, each wife of yours will get hold of immense power and control of a sector, the fight Throne may go out of control in the next generation."Enoch answered.

"It is especially dangerous if this child happens to be Highness Christina's or Highness Catherine."

"Hmmm!"Alex nodded and tapped on the rip of the cup.

A chilly silence lingered as the two saw the deep frown on Alex's face.

"Haaaa..."

Alex then laughed, shaking his head.

"You two worry too much."

"But Your Majesty.."

Alex waved his hand signalling them to stop.

Alex got up and walked towards the window.

Seeing the sunlight passing over him, Enoch and Nioky saw the familiar vestige of Kevin on Alex.

"I don't plan to hold the Throne for long."

"What?"

Alex's words sounded like thunder in their ears.

"Your Majesty?"

"There is no use persuading me. With five Goddesses in my arms, I would be an idiot if I didn't look after them instead of becoming bald and managing the affairs."

"I don't want this useless Crown that takes away my youth and kills my feelings. I can be heartless to anyone except for my wife."

The scene of his wives fighting beside him and then trying to keep Kinley safe after his death was fresh in his mind. They have come a long way and they need rest.

"I already have a suitable candidate in mind."

"Your Majesty, if you are thinking about other Princes or Princesses you can't, they don't have Stan blood."

Enoch felt a suffocating pressure coming from Alex.

"Don't talk about something stupid like bloodline."

"We will talk about it later."

"1 week."

"I want to clear everything in the week whether through persuasion or force."

"After a week, it's time for me to descend into the Darkness realm."

Alex's eyes flashed with a dangerous glint.
