Galaxy's First Ruler

Chapter 197: A Price unseen by the Kings

"I will come by myself. Leave us alone for now."

Aldrich addressed Earl Drago, who was clinging to him from the moment he had arrived on the planet.

Drago's presence had not surprised him. Even though he was given the planet's coordinates, Aldrich could tweak it to control the point of emerging out of the space jump. The entire reason for him to choose Everlasting Tower to come out was to alert the Earl Drago of his presence. But Aldrich wasn't prepared for the shock on Drago's face.

As Aldrich mentioned leaving him and Rosalia alone, an embarrassing red color came on her plump cheeks. And it didn't go unnoticed by Aldrich. Aldrich had already told Drago about the Swordfish briefly. So when he saw Drago flying away with a weird smile planted on his face, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes at Rosalia.

"Have you not come out of your delusions? Or do you want another round of spanking?"

"You"

Crrr!

Upon the mention of spanking, Rosalia pointed at Aldrich and gritted her teeth. The intensity of her anger came out as the grating noise of her teeth rubbing on each other. Her face was about to become red and blue, but soon a deep blush came rushing to her. The phantom pain of three slaps on her tiny butt coursed through her body, and along with this pain came the memory of pleasure.

Aldrich ignored the tumultuous emotions Rosalia was going through. After having an initial mastery over the Law of Devil, he could interpret these emotions vividly. The corners of Aldrich's mouth lifted, seeing Rosalia's indecisive situation.

"How far can you materialize this form of yours outside the Everlasting Tower?"

Even though the planet was originally Rosalia, all its vitality and strength were concentrated on the Everlasting Tower. This was also the reason for the changes in the planet's atmosphere Aldrich had experienced when he had first arrived here. It was almost like this place had its own climate.

Rosalia, still trapped in Aldrich's normal words, didn't hesitate before answering and blurted out.

"Anywhere I want, but I won't have any Dreamer-like qualities."

Aldrich nodded as he dissected Rosalia's sentence. It meant that though she can pop up anywhere on the planet, she would be equivalent to a normal human. And thus, if one were to attack her with the intentions of killing, she would dissipate like smoke. It could be attributed to an effect of Skill, but not all the High Ranked Dreamers could be easily fooled. If even one got to notice that Rosalia wasn't a real person, then a horde of nobles would soon invade the planet to claim her.

How could any Dreamer resist the temptation to know a being that had survived for hundreds of millennia?

Aldrich put his hands behind his back and walked around the edges of the platform, talking in the incredible night view of the planet over the clouds. After a slight pause, he turned around and took a step towards Rosalia's petite figure. This sudden step made her flinch. She put both her hands over her butt and meekly muttered.

"What What are you doing? Stay away"

But these weren't the only words ringing in Aldrich's mind. There, Sha was also fuming in anger.

"Daddy Is this bitch making fun of me?"

Aldrich let out a wry smile and stopped a few feet away from Rosalia. He looked into her expecting eyes and said.

"I think I have found a way by which you can go out to any part of the Galaxy."

Aldrich had been thinking on this matter since the time he had found a way for Sha to come out, leaving the mask on his face. The core of both the problems was the same. In Sha's case, Aldrich needed to attach a Rumok to her body, so that she could control the mask and other Items in Aldrich's hands. And in Rosalia's case, he could do the same by engraving a Rumok on Everlasting Tower.

Aldrich could engrave Rumok on living things even before getting his second title, as proven by his experiment with Boomie. Like Boomie, Rosalia was also technically a Dreamer and not Item. The only issue was she had lost all her Classes' authority and Attributes. But doing all this required a great price. Grand enough to shake the spirit of an ancient planet.

As Aldrich's words magically echoed in the empty and spacious platform, Rosalia involuntarily took a step towards him and shouted out.

"Really?!!"

Aldrich nodded and continued.

"Even though it wouldn't be the same as freeing you entirely, it would be enough for the time being. It's just It costs a heavy price."

Rosalia stared into Aldrich's white eyes and took a deep breath.

"Don't worry about the price. Tell me what you need."

"A King Mana Core."

""

""

Pfft- Bwahahahahaha.

Aldrich watched as Rosalia let out a resounding burst of laughter, holding her belly and rolling on the floor. Even after a few seconds, the sharp laugh hadn't stopped. The rose petals were about to lose the shape of a makeshift bra over her breasts. And even the leafy skirt seemed incompetent to hide her milky thighs.

"What's so funny about it? You were a King Ranked Dreamer one time, weren't you? You must have a King Mana Core stacked somewhere."

Aldrich didn't know if he could handle a Mana core of that level to make Rumok yet. But its presence could open several unopened doors for him through countless experiments. That's why he couldn't understand the reason for Rosalia's belly laugh upon hearing his honest words.

Rosalia somehow managed to stand up and press down on her skirt. Her voice, still hinting at a mocking tone, escaped her baby mouth.

"Wait so you weren't joking?!!"

Aldrich's calm and unwavering stare was enough to answer this question. Rosalia let out a chuckle and responded.

"Haha! If I had a King Mana Core, I would have already sacrificed it to get almost the same effects as you have mentioned."

"But why" Aldrich was about to ask when Rosalia harrumphed and cut him off.

"Humph! You think they are so easy to get. Go ask the current Kings, if they had even seen a single King Mana Core in their entire life so far."
