Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Since that day, Hayes has not been able to forget the goddess Lycorette.

He had lived more than a thousand years and had seduced many women, but this was his first experience. He wanted to get her, no matter what it took.

The day after he first saw Licorette, he began to research her. And the information was quickly gathered. She was the wife of the king of Agartha, Linos, and the empress of that kingdom. She was the first daughter of the previous emperor of the great nation of the Heedata Empire. In that empire, she was considered to be a person of very radical ideology, and she was married to the King of Agartha after she was sent away. Moreover, she had two children with her husband Linos. She and her husband Rinos were on good terms, and although she had not been seen recently, before the birth of the prince, she used to appear in a store in the capital on a whim.

Above all, what captured Haze's heart was the fact that she herself was very intelligent and dynamic. This explains her behavior toward the nobles of the Mideast.

He himself has acquired countless number of women, but once most of them are his, he becomes quiet and beholden to him. This is mainly due to the fact that he has mainly targeted women who are dependent on him, but for him, such women have already become boring and uninteresting.

He had never been a fan of strong-willed women, but now that he had met the goddess Licorette, Hayes began to think excitedly about how he might get his hands on her .......

However, he couldn't just take his time ...... as he had done in the past. This time, we need to do it in a moment, taking as little time as possible. Besides, we have to take it for ourselves as soon as possible after taking it. Recovering the princess from the elven village was also quite difficult, but this time it will be even more difficult. Given this, the moves we can take will naturally be limited.

However, there is not a trace of anxiety or fear in him now. He has an ideal face and a strong personality. He would have such a beautiful and dignified goddess with intelligence in her eyes, Licorette, at his mercy and in his service. ....... Imagining such a thing, I feel a strong desire for the first time in a long time. Since that day, he has not been able to stop thinking about her, whether he sleeps or wakes up, and his mind has been controlled by his desires without his knowing it.

On the other hand, he was beginning to feel a burning jealousy toward her husband Linos, who could freely play with her beautiful skin and body.

The goddess Lycorette is destined to be mine. She just doesn't know it now. ......"

Muttering these things to himself, he turned his attention to the city of Agartha.

Liko was attacked by Haze. Matkal, sensing this, swung his sword, and Gon attacked him at the same time, and managed to protect him from him.

What is interesting is the bruise on Rico's right arm. The bruise means that his arm was damaged to some extent. This is impossible. I have her warded at all times. Warding that cancels both magic and physical attacks. And yet, her arm is bruised. What is this?

I immediately flew with Rico to my grandmother's house. But she herself had no idea what the bruise was, and was rather furious with Gon for letting Hayes escape. Rico explained to her that it was indeed impossible to kill him in that situation, but we had a hard time appeasing her, as she kept lamenting that Hayes would disappear more and more.

Even after a few days, Rico's bruises did not heal. I asked May and Roni to make a medicine for it, but it showed no sign of going away, and in my frustration I took a bath with Rico every day and washed him carefully, but to no avail. Was it because I washed too much that the bruise was still there?　No, that is definitely not true.

Even under such circumstances, Rico did not stop going to the village. Stubborn as she may be, she is passionate in her own way in educating the children of the nobility. So I decided to accompany Rico whenever he went out.

Watching her work, I noticed that she handled things very efficiently. And she tries to get things done in the shortest possible distance while skillfully involving others. This is very instructive.

The one who was impressed by this was none other than Teishin-sama. He used to follow us whenever we went to the village. As he watched Rico's work there, he noticed something about himself. One time, when Liko and I were cooking, he was watching us. And when he was done, he slowly approached us and opened his mouth.

"...... Maro may have made a mistake."

"What's wrong?"

"...... Maro was trying to do everything himself. That's not good enough."

"......I wish I could do that, but unfortunately I'm not that skilled. After all, I am running the country with the help of others. So is my wife. She is much more skilled than I am, but still there is a limit. So, I have many people helping me. I am sure that my wife would not have been able to do so much if she had to do it alone.

In fact, not only Rico and I, but also the children of the nobles who come here to pick up the rations, are helping with this soup kitchen. Some of them are extremely dexterous with their hands, while others are quick-witted. By recognizing their aptitude and having them help us, our work has become much more efficient.

"Uchiko here ...... are they called children in this country?　They alone can accomplish so much. And leave the nobles behind. It depends on how you do it. How do we get them involved?

"It's not that difficult, my Lord. All you have to do is to look at the person carefully, praise him for what he can do well, and stretch him. I'm sure their parents are also very talented.

"Yes. Thank you, Empress. Maro must return once more to Meereen. For that time, let's work together once again in this village to establish a national structure with the involvement of the nobles.

"I will help you, my Lord."

My husband and I are already involved with the emperor. And the townspeople are already involved with the emperor. With your power and virtue, it won't take you long to get the nobles involved.

Rico is smiling a pretty smile. Seeing this, the emperor was also smiling.

Seeing that, I was sure that the Mideast would be restored. I was convinced of that.

"Now, what should I do first to get my goddess Likolet ......?"

"Hayes. You're blushing. That's unusual.

Hayes stared out the window with his arms crossed, his face red with eerie dark circles. Needless to say, this was a sign of a high-ranking fox, which was a rare sight for the cautious Hayes, who had always acted as if no one could see it, even in his own room.

The one embracing him across his back is Meek, the daughter of the Elven King. She is still in her undress, rubbing her luscious form against Hayes' body.

"When was the last time you saw those reddish-black streaks on your face?"

"This is ...... what I did. I haven't seen such a blunder in at least a few hundred years."

What happened then?

You.

A concubine?

"It was time to take you from the land of the elves. I had to go as fast as I could to get you out of there.

"Hmph. You're still a smooth talker. So, what's so special about this girl?

"Oh, she's the best woman I've ever met."

"Huhuhuhuhu, ahahahahahahaha. Hayes always says that."

Meek is rolling on his belly laughing. Hayes, watching this scene with a wry smile on his face, envisions in his mind how he can get his hands on Ricolet.
