Most of the content involved using his beauty to seduce countless men.

“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.”b0d8ee265d3a2c43

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. It was clear that the disappearance of everyone who entered the mountain was not a natural occurrence. The only place where people lived nearby was the plain within the four peaks.b495bef54c5ec123
The lord suspected that it was the people of the plains who were responsible for it and led his soldiers to find them. However, they couldn’t find the missing people inside.
