Most of the content involved using his beauty to seduce countless men. Every man he encountered fell for the young master without exception, and it was not surprising that he even captivated the hearts of the famous emperor’s four commanders, and even made them his slaves.

“In the northernmost part of the region I govern, there is a mountain that borders the Sea of Ice. It is a place that remains covered in ice all year round, with four peaks so cold and harsh that no one could enter. Still, a few people managed to pass through the mountains. Inside, there is a large plain surrounded by a green forest. It is said that many people live there, and there has been a legend of a great wizard ruling the place for a long time. However, at some point, the ice on the mountain, which no one could enter, began to melt.”0389c1d54156c398

As none of the people returned, a search party was sent, but they too failed to come back. As people’s anxiety and complaints grew, the lord also became worried.
