The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 26 Choosing A Concubine



Rose sat infront the loom, her fingers deftly moving over the threads as she wove the fabric.

Her thoughts drifted to the recent announcement made by Lord Maximus, the ruler of the territory where she now lived and worked.

[Enchanted Weaver's Loom -A loom that can weave clothes rapidly, with the quality of the resulting product up to one grade. Price 5]

The announcement had caused quite a stir among the workers in the clothing factory.

Her friend and coworker, Angeline, sat next to her, "Did you hear that Lord Maximus is looking for a wife?" Angeline asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Rose nodded, keeping her eyes on her work. "I did. I heard he already has 4 wives."

Angeline shrugged. "Maybe it's not enough. Other nobles have at least 3 wives and 10 concubines."

Rose didn't like the sound of that.

She knew Powerful men like to have many wives and concubines, which is common practice in this world.

However, she also knew that it was necessary, especially in a dangerous world like this.

The conversation lapsed into silence as they both focused on their work.

Rose couldn't help but feel grateful for her job in the clothing factory.

It provided her and her family with a means of support after they had been forced to flee their home due to the war.

While they were engrossed in their work, a sudden commotion erupted from behind, swiftly capturing their attention.

Startled, Rose and Angeline were taken by surprise as a group of men clad in black approached them.

"What is this about?" Rose asked, her hands trembling.

"We have been sent by Lord Maximus to bring you and your friend to the castle," one of the men replied.

"The castle? Why?" Angeline asked, clearly confused.

"I don't know the details, but I was told it was for a special assignment," the man said cryptically.

Afterward, they talk to Rose and Angeline, asking them to visit the castle at a specific time of the day.

As the men dressed in black departed, Rose and Angeline could sense the curious gazes of their coworkers fixed upon them.

"Do you think it has something to do with the recent announcement?" Angeline whispered nervously.

"I highly doubt it," Rose replied. "Just get dressed and be presentable."

After completing their work for the day, under the curious stares from their fellow workers.

They exchanged a knowing glance and went their separate ways to prepare for their upcoming meeting with Lord Maximus

...

As Rose reached her home, her parents were surprised to hear that their daughter was invited by a nobleman.

They knew that Lord Maximus was looking for a new concubine and they were happy for their daughter.

"This is a wonderful opportunity, my dear," her mother said teasingly.

"Mother, please don't get ahead of yourself," Rose replied, joking with her parents.

Her father was silent, lost in thought.

Finally, he spoke up. "You just need to be careful."

Rose nodded in agreement, knowing that her father's concern was well-founded.

She reassured her parents that she would be cautious and vigilant during her visit to the castle.

Her mother hugged her tightly. "Be careful, dear," she whispered.

With a heavy heart, Rose bid farewell to her parents and set out toward the castle, her mind filled with a mix of excitement and trepidation.

...

Meanwhile, Angeline went to the market to buy new clothes for the occasion.

She wanted to make a good impression on the lord.

As she walked through the market, she saw many beautiful dresses and jewelry, but she couldn't afford any of them.

She eventually found a small shop that sold secondhand clothes.

After searching through the racks, she found a beautiful dress that fit her perfectly.

It was a bit worn, but it was the best she could afford.

As she left the shop, she saw other women at the gate of the castle who were also dressed beautifully, hoping to catch the lord's attention.

Angeline felt a twinge of nervousness, aware that the competition was fierce.

But she didn't let that discourage her and continued to prepare for the invitation.

...

Maximus sat at his desk, his eyes scanning the latest batch of candidates for his concubine.

The Phantom Group had sent him a selection of the most beautiful and intelligent women in the kingdom, and he was to confirm whether they fit the system's requirements.

The first candidate was a striking brunette with sharp features and piercing blue eyes.

She spoke confidently and eloquently, but when Maximus ran her through the system fit detection test, her score was a disappointing 75.

Next came a delicate blonde with soft features and a timid demeanor.

Maximus was initially intrigued by her shy nature, but after scanning her with the system.

Her fit score was even lower than the first, at a mere 74.

The third candidate was a redhead with fiery energy and a quick wit.

She bantered with Maximus easily, and for a moment, he thought he finally found one.

But when her system fit detection test results came in, her score was only a disappointing 87.

After several more interviews, Maximus was growing frustrated.

None of the candidates had scored 90 and above, and the system required a score of at least 90.

Just as he was about to be disheartened, the next candidate came.

a stunning woman cream like skin and piercing green eyes, her score appeared on the screen.

To his disappointment, she had only scored an 88.

Maximus sighed heavily, leaning back in his chair.

None of the women he had interviewed had met the system standards.

He dismissed the candidates with a wave of his hand.

As the candidate left the room, he leaned forward, his brow furrowed in thought.

His system was too picky.

If the system didn't have any requirements he would probably become a god right now.

Maximus, feeling disappointed and prepared to end the selection process for the day, sat back on his chair with a heavy heart.

Angeline was escorted into the room, her heart beating fast as she tried to calm herself down.

"You can do this," she whispered to herself.

"Just be confident and honest." She took a deep breath and walked towards Lord Maximus.

His eyes locked onto her as she approached, and he was immediately captivated by her beauty.

She stood a little shorter than most, with luscious blond hair and a curvaceous body.

Maximus couldn't help but admire her stature.

Curious, Maximus had his system scan her.

The result appeared before him, showing a fit value of 92.

His excitement grew as he realized that she met the system's criteria.

With a smile, Maximus beckoned Angeline to take a seat across from him.

She approached cautiously, not fully understanding the reason behind the lord's smile.

Maximus sat across and asked. "Angeline, can you tell me a little bit about yourself and your family?"

Angeline's voice trembled slightly as she recounted her life. "My parents were originally from another city. My father was a doctor, and my mother was a skilled seamstress. We were fortunate enough to enjoy a comfortable life," she said, her eyes downcast.

"But the conflict between nobles... claimed the lives of my parents."

Maximus listened intently.

Angelina shared her story, as she hold the tears down her face.

He couldn't bear seeing her cry, so he instinctively walked over to her and embraced her tightly.

"I'm so sorry, Angeline," he said.

The room fell silent, filled with the emotion that hung in the air.

Maximus held Angeline, providing a comforting embrace.

As Angeline rested her head on Maximus' shoulder, she felt a sense of security that she hadn't felt in years.

His embrace was warm and reassuring, and she couldn't help but feel trust for his kind gesture.
