"As you wish," they all say in unison.
As I waited for the leaders of my kingdom to arrive, I sat on my throne scrolling through my status.

…
My new status was intensely powerful with the scythe I'm holding in my right hand. I also decided to test out [Summon: Slime Weapon].
When I used it, my palms started to feel sweaty but when I checked it, blue slime started to leak from my palm. While using [Concentration], I gathered it towards the center of my palm and easily molded it into a bow and arrow. I held the bow in my left hand and the arrow in my right.
As I pulled the blue arrow back, I felt the same feeling as when I practiced with a spear. It felt like I was a toddler trying to drive a car... uncomfortable.
I closed one of my eyes and aimed above the arch for the main entrance of the throne room. As I let go of the slimy arrow, you could hear a whistle and then a,
tunk
The arrow wasn't even close to where I was looking, but the power on it was insane. The arrow was currently halfway embedded into the throne room wall. Even a spider web crack appeared.
I reached out my hand and then the slime arrow came darting back into my grasp. I was in awe at how powerful it was. I could make a loophole of where I fire multiple of these at a large crowd or… army to eradicate them in an instant. This would only work since my partial scythe mastery takes away all accuracy and efficiency used.
"Would you like me to fix that? My queen…" I hear a man's voice says.
I look over to the right entrance of my throne room and see Akio standing at the doorway.

"Yeah, but after the meeting," I say while deactivating [Summon: Slime Weapon].
Not long after, everybody came into the throne room, bowing before taking a seat at a larger and grander table. Even though I didn't ask, my wives came as well, clearly unhappy about me forgetting to invite them.
I tried to ignore their scowls and through the pressure of their stares, I could tell everybody got stronger. The pressure in the room was so much that some maids had to step out otherwise they would've passed out. I think the only ones in the room who didn't emit any pressure at all were myself and Akito who were aware enough to contain it.
Mia was slightly struggling but not as much as the assassin corps excluding Yin.
The newest members of the assassin corps were sweating bullets from not only the pressure but the presence of everybody in the room. They could guess that we were able to take over an entire kingdom even without an army.
"Shall we start this… war council? I guess this is a war council," I say while everybody quietly chuckles to themselves… except for my wives.
"While I was out on my hunting trip, I gained many new skills and one of them was to create blood minions," I say while letting blood drip down from my hand.
This time I let out much more blood, enough to create one that was about 3 feet tall. Everybody in the room was shocked at my creation and I could tell Akito wanted to fight it, but I'll let him do it later.
"When I was hunting with these minions, I ran into some werewolves and you could probably guess where this is going. I attached smaller blood minions onto their clothes and allowed them to track them back to their base. We found a settlement, but that might not be their main residence so we will first take care of that first.
We will then torture for more information. Once we find the main settlement, we will try and lure out the wolf mountain guardian. If anybody would like to test your skills on it then go ahead, I will not stop you since it is the weakest of the guardians.
I will be mainly watching out for the "5th mountain guardian". She might take advantage of the war I'm starting so I will stay back and try to take care of her. If anybody spots a humanoid figure, littered with jewelry, and has the features of a bear then don't hesitate to notify me," I say with some of my bloodlust leaking out.
I didn't like her. She was too much of a threat to be left alone and be unaware of her current position. If only I had my blood minion skill back then, then I could've just attached one to her and let her go where she wants. Then I could strike her when she least expects it but… life isn't that easy.
*sigh*
"All right, Akito and Mia, gather only 1/4 of our current army as that is more than enough to take over the settlement. But make sure the rest of our army is in peak condition just in case of an emergency. Once we are ready to attack it then I will let one of my blood minions lead the way,"
"As you wish," they say while standing up and bowing before sitting down again.
It seems Mia has adjusted well since she exudes a more confident attitude, I'll be looking forward to her contribution in this upcoming war.
"Assassin corps, you will help in the shadows to torture for information and scout for any incoming threats that we might not know about yet,"
Only Yin stood up as the rest of the corps was standing behind her. Once Yin stood up, they bowed as well with eager smiles, ready to carry out my orders.
It seems like they would do anything to avoid training with Yin.
"Aimi, you will send out posters for recruiting for the army. You should be able to do this smoothly due to your influence all over my kingdom," I say while she stands up and bows before sitting down again.
"Aiso, you will gather all the blacksmiths to make the most efficient armor and weapons for the army. I hope you are ready to be working day and night since this might be one of the most important jobs,"
"As you wish! I will not fail you, my queen!" Aiso says, standing up, bowing, and then sitting back down.
"Finally, this is sort of unrelated to the war but I need Akio and Aito for this job. I haven't talked to Aito in a while so this might be rude to ask, but I feel that you will be perfect for being the headmaster of a school I want to create.
I don't like how our citizens are only becoming battle-crazy maniacs without any knowledge, so I want to put this plan into action. Akio grab Leo with you as you both will help create one of the only schools I want in my kingdom,"
"It would be an honor," Aito says while standing up and bowing.
"As you wish. I will be sure not to fail you," Akio says while standing up and bowing.
They both sit down again while I got ready to say the most important news in my opinion.
"Another reason why I want to create a school is that I currently have a skill that allows me to make babies of any gender. If it works and I can have children of my own, then I want them to have a proper education but here's the thing,
We can announce that I have children, but we won't show their faces to the public. I want them to live normal lives until they fully grow up. This means they won't have to struggle with the pressure of needing to uphold the honor of the kingdom.
We will send my children to school and they can stay in the dorms or live in the castle. It's entirely up to them, but make sure only a select few know of my children's identity at school,"
"As you wish," all the leaders say while pumping their fists in excitement before bowing once again and sitting down.
I glanced over to my wives as their angry expressions turned into excitement. It seemed that none of them didn't want a child. This put a smile on my face since I never got this… luxury? Every adult I've spoken to that has a child always said it was like hell raising them, but I should be fine. It only takes a couple of days for them to grow.
