The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 876: Trying to Seduce?

For the next four days, Aldrian and his troops battled many times and conquered eleven strategic places from the devils. That was something commendable, with six hundred thousand troops, they could take a large portion of the devils' occupied territory, and they did it without any casualties.

This was something impossible for other powers to achieve, and it had everything to do with Aldrian and his capabilities. Without Aldrian, even if his troops did not encounter a devil at pseudo immortal establishment stage or above, they would still suffer casualties.

His quick-processing mind and sharp senses, combined with his domain ability that heightened his situational awareness, allowed him to prevent any losses. As long as his troops were within his sight or sense, it was his responsibility to keep them alive.

Other power leaders would see this as a burden because they would have to take care of hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefield. There was no way they could manage something like that, and in the end, they would have no choice but to let some of their people die for the sake of others.

However, for Aldrian, he did it because he could and because he wanted to. He did not see it as a burden, instead, he gladly treated it as one of his responsibilities. He had the strength and capability to do what others could not, and he intended to utilize it as best as he could.

It would be wasteful if he possessed such great power yet allowed any of his men to die simply because he considered taking care of them a burden.

After they seized another city from the devils today, they finally met another power from the Ancient Blue Gate World. They encountered a power from the Orian Continent, one of the strongest kingdoms on the Orian Continent, the Cerdian Kingdom, which was led by its queen herself.

The beautiful queen was a mature woman with long blue hair tied into a ponytail and wearing her special armor. Combined with the long sword at her waist, it gave her a deadly presence despite her beauty.

Aldrian's troops met the Cerdian Kingdom's troops at their temporary base, which had been built in the middle of the vast barren land. Aldrian was greeted directly by the queen herself, Revania Eyser Cavilon.

"Welcome to our temporary base, Your Majesty," the queen said as she slightly lowered her head.

"Oh, please, Queen Revania, you don't have to lower your head. As a fellow leader of our nation, you don't need to lower yourself to me. Just act normally since we hold the same status," Aldrian said as he offered a handshake.

Queen Revania smiled and accepted Aldrian's offer. "If that is what Your Majesty wants, then I will follow it. But I still feel it is something I need to do because Your Majesty is currently the highest commander of the alliance forces. I simply want to show the others the appropriate attitude toward Your Majesty."

Aldrian did not refute her further and simply nodded with a smile.

"Your Majesty, let us discuss the current situation. From this point on, we will have to fight together until we meet the other powers. I want to know what Your Majesty has experienced these past few days and how we can coordinate for the future battle," Aldrian said.

Queen Revania nodded. "Alright, then let us discuss it in the command tent. This way, Your Majesty."

Aldrian nodded. He also asked Baek Jimin to follow him, while the others would build a temporary base beside the Cerdian Kingdom's camp.

While Aldrian walked toward the biggest tent in the base, many troops from the Cerdian Kingdom looked at him with reverence. They could finally see, directly in front of them, the living legend himself. This was the man who had become the main character and the focus of the central star cluster in recent months.

The man who possessed power and achievements that no one had ever reached in the past.

Aldrian finally arrived at the largest tent located in the middle of the base. A large table stood in the center of the tent, and on it was a wide map showing the region they were currently in.

"How is your troops' situation, Queen Revania?" Aldrian asked.

"Overall, it is good, Your Majesty. We managed to seize many cities and strongholds from the devils according to the plan. We also did not suffer many casualties, which is really good. The only problem is logistics, since we need to spend more than we expected. But that is a small issue and still within our capability to handle," Queen Revania replied.

Aldrian nodded. "I see. Thank you for your hard work, Queen Revania. Although you currently have no major problems, please feel free to tell me if you need anything to support your troops."

Queen Revania smiled. "Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty. It is something we from the Cerdian Kingdom are supposed to do. And thank you, Your Majesty—if I need something, then I will surely tell you." She spoke while standing much closer to Aldrian, almost touching him. Her fragrance drifted toward him, and a flowery scent entered his nose, giving him a refreshing feeling.

She seemed unaware of it and instead turned her attention to the map on the table.

"Your Majesty, for our next target, we know that we will be aiming for this large city located near two fortresses. From what I know about this place, it was once the capital city of a kingdom, which explains its size and the tight security created by the two fortresses nearby. For us to attack, I think it would be best if we pincered them from three sides."

As the queen explained, she tucked her long hair to the side, revealing more of her smooth white neck to Aldrian. Baek Jimin, who stood to the side, watched the queen's behavior and could not help but frown.

However, as if he noticed nothing unusual, Aldrian simply replied to the queen's suggestion.

"That is a good suggestion, however that means we need to…" Aldrian continued explaining his opinion and planning the best formation for their attack. Baek Jimin, meanwhile, kept glancing at the queen's behavior beside Aldrian from time to time.

'Isn't she too close to Aldrian?' she thought.

The way she saw it, the queen's gestures seemed far too intimate. It felt as if the queen was showing a vulnerable side to Aldrian. And more importantly, she was like—

'Seducing him.'

However, Baek Jimin did not say anything and simply listened to their discussion in silence. She did not know if it was just her mind being too sensitive, which made her think this way, so she tried to keep a positive outlook. Maybe Queen Revania was not doing what she imagined. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

But as the discussion continued, she saw the queen

act even more boldly, her body repeatedly brushing toward Aldrian. Queen Revania behaved as if each touch was accidental, but to Baek Jimin, it looked deliberate.

As time passed, the queen grew even bolder with her actions. She showed her grace and beauty by releasing her ponytail. She even made subtle motions that emphasized her body curves—motions that would make any man lose focus and stir their desire.

Even though she wore armor, the armor clearly accentuated her curves. The part that revealed a portion of her thigh made the queen look undeniably sexy, and combined with her beauty, Baek Jimin doubted any man could resist being drawn to her.

'She is indeed seducing him. There is no doubt about it,' Baek Jimin screamed inside her mind.

She then glanced at Aldrian's expression. He did not show any sign of attraction or fluster. He looked calm and acted as if nothing had happened, focusing only on what they were discussing.

After more than an hour of discussing the plan and matters regarding the war, they finally finished.

"Alright, I think this is enough. Queen Revania, the plan is quite detailed, and I think there will be no problem. I will return to my troops, and tomorrow we can depart," Aldrian said.

"Alright, Your Majesty, please have a nice rest," Queen Revania said with a beautiful smile.

Aldrian and Baek Jimin then stepped out of the tent and walked outside the base camp. The sun was already near the horizon, and the scenery had turned slightly dark.

Once they were outside the Cerdian Kingdom's base camp, Baek Jimin instantly hugged Aldrian's arm tightly, causing Aldrian to raise his eyebrows before smiling warmly.

"What is it, my dear? You seem to be sulking?" he asked.

Sylphia looked at his face. "Are you really saying you didn't know? Or are you pretending not to know? I doubt you didn't notice it. About Queen Revania," she said with a slight pout.

Aldrian let out a small sigh along with a smile. "Well, to be honest, there is no way I could be oblivious to the signs Queen Revania showed me. I mean, even you saw through her—how could I not know what is inside her mind?"

Baek Jimin tightened her hug, pressing his arm even more between her breasts.

"That woman… how could she brazenly seduce you? Is she not afraid of you or anything like that? Does she not care about her image as an queen? As a noble woman?"

"Well, I think that is simply her effort. I heard Queen Revania never married. Many men in the past were drawn to her and proposed marriage, but she refused all of them. As one of the most beautiful women on the Orian Continent, she is confident in herself," Aldrian replied.

"When she sees someone who interests her, she tries to pursue him. In this case, it happens to be me, even if she needs to act that boldly," he added.

Baek Jimin sighed and gently pinched Aldrian's cheek.

"Sometimes I want to put a mask on your face so no woman can be seduced by you or get trapped in your charm. Once they fall into it, I don't think they can easily escape the image of your face."

Aldrian smiled, then took the hand pinching his cheek and kissed it.

"Well, what can I say? I was born with a handsome face and a high level of charm. This is the combination of my father's and mother's good genes. The important thing is that I never showed any interest in those women, right?"

Baek Jimin smiled. "What an arrogant scoundrel."

Aldrian suddenly leaned in, bringing his lips close to her ear.

"Well, this scoundrel will give you a gift tonight for your good work these past few days, so you'd better prepare."

Baek Jimin flushed at his words. She knew perfectly well what kind of gift he meant.
