Rise of the Immortal Black Dragon King

Omniscient POV

Over the years, Kouske has significantly expanded his Sabnock territory, fully reclaiming the lost lands and even further expanding after clearing the pits.

In the newly colonized lands, he was establishing cities and farmlands to cultivate unique crops, fruits, flowers, trees and vegetation.

Additionally, he had opened a training ground for the general populace, where they were being trained by professionals.

Although it functioned much like a school, he chose not to call it one to avoid potential conflicts with the nobles.

Kouske preferred to avoid the hassle of dealing with their stupid objections on opening schools for the commoners, for now.

But he had the right to strengthen his territory by training the commoners, and the nobles couldn't hold anything against him for this.

As a result, the overall power of the territory was rising over the years. Akatsuki members were almost always seen in the territory, and it had become quite common to see them there.

He had been making the commoner devils and Akatsuki members work together. While devils, especially the noble ones, had prejudices against other races, most commoner devils were too busy with their own lives to engage in blatant racism.

So, making the natives accept the Akatsuki members wasn't that tough, though some problems still persisted. Bertrand also knew about Kouske being Akatsuki.

Over the years, she had proven her loyalty and earned his trust. The relationship between Kouske and her had evolved beyond mere master and servant, especially when she had unintentionally expressed her willingness to become one of his concubines several times.

To be honest, Kouske never liked the term concubine; if he was going to have a harem, all of them would be his wives.

He had been training her to become stronger, as she wanted to become his Knight.

Kouske also made a taming contract with her and acquired her bloodline power, Abyssal Slash (C+), an ability to cut through things, which was quite powerful in his opinion.

Kouske had also discovered that Gasper was actually a girl, not a boy, and it happened in a rather strange way.

During the opening of one of their hot spring resorts, Kouske had dragged Gasper into the men's bath when she tried to join the other girls in the women's bath.

He 'found out' she was a 'girl' in the bath. She was a blushing mess. Let's not delve further into it; it was one of Kouske's most embarrassing moments.

For years, he had been unknowingly bullying the poor girl. But it wasn't entirely his fault. Gasper had the same face and behaviour of the male one from the original story.

So it wasn't that hard to mistake her gender. He quickly apologized before any other men entered the bathroom and sent her back to the girls' area.

Since then, Kouske had been calling her 'Gaspy,' like Valerie did. Otherwise, it just felt too weird for him to call her Gasper.

After that, Serafall and the other Satans had organized a tournament for the commoners, recommending the top fifty participants for the rank-up examinations to ensure fairness and equality in the Underworld, gaining massive commoner devils' support for the New Satan Faction.

Many of Kouske's new retainers excelled in the tournament, earning recommendations and achieving Middle Class devil status after the rank up exam.

To avoid accusations of favoritism, Kouske prohibited some of his retainers from participating, as many of them were physically as powerful as an Ultimate Class devil. The tournament was scheduled to be held every five years.

It also silenced the laughter of the nobles who had mocked him behind his back and spread false rumors about him having only commoner retainers, thereby looking down on him.

Now, with Middle Class devils also serving as retainers in his household, they could no longer make such disparaging remarks.

With the looming threat of the future ExE invasion, Kouske had been dedicated to strengthening everyone in recent years.

Well, founding the organization Akatsuki was also aimed at preventing the future ExE invasion and defeating Trihexa (666).

And if he finds himself unable to confront the machine gods at that time, he has the option to escape to other dimensions with his friends and family, or seek assistance from allies from those worlds.

Especially powerful people like Rimuru, Milim, Veldora etc. This is why he plans to visit Tensura in the future.

However, this is only considered as a last resort. Ideally, he prefers to face the ExE gods alongside the inhabitants of this world.

Over the years, he has taken many mistreated people under his wing. Kouske has been secretly clearing the pits in the center of the Underworld to establish a hidden country, and the Demiplane has also been expanding significantly.

His research has extended to developing Fertility Pills, a medicine aimed at guaranteeing pregnancy for races that struggle with conception.

He has also made low class potions (very low quality) that can be found in some rare markets, as a show that he can also use his bloodline ability for alchemy too.

Additionally, he has been investigating the Sleeping Disease, leveraging his bloodline ability that grants him mastery over alchemy. Kouske has indeed been quite busy in recent years.

In the morning, after cleaning up, Kouske was in the office room with Bertrand and Tarte while Sakuya was back to her duties as usual, making breakfast with the other maids.

It was the morning right after Kouske and Sakuya had their first time together, in this life.

At least he managed to get a lovey-dovey morning kiss from Sakuya before she could go all stoic and enter her maid mode.

As Kouske checked the papers related to his territory, Tarte poured him tea, standing still behind him like a diligent maid.

Over the years, she had fully embraced the 'art of being a maid.' Whenever Sakuya was busy and couldn't be beside him, Tarte always stayed by his side and accompanied him from place to place.

Bertrand also tagged along, insisting it was important for a knight to ensure her lord's safety.

Sakuya could stay by his side all the time if she wanted, but she thought it would be unfair to the others.

She believed he should spend more time with the other girls whenever he could, as Sakuya and Lavinia were the ones he mostly spent his time with.

"Thanks, Tarte. It's delicious. How are your missions going?" Kouske asked as he sipped the tea.

For a while now, Tarte had been working with the kids from the Holy Sword Project on various missions as their leader.

They were mostly active around the Vampire Faction, a bit away from the Church Headquarters.

"It's going well, Kouske-sama. But we have been looking for a certain necromancer from the Tepes Faction for a while now, and still haven't found him," replied Tarte, her expression suddenly turning frightening just at the memory.

Kouske could feel the murderous intent radiating from her. He knew that necromancer must have done something terrible to provoke such a reaction.

As she was lost in her thoughts, Kouske suddenly and firmly slapped her plump ass, eliciting a startled yelp.

*Slap*

*Yelp*

"Eeepp!" Tarte yelped in surprise. Her exclamation turned into a low moan as Kouske began kneading her tight ass.

"U-umm, Kouske-sama?" asked Tarte, her voice shaky as she tried to hold back her moan, her face deep red.

"Hgghnn..."

"Cool down a bit, will you? Don't get too absorbed in work. You should try to relax too," Kouske said caringly, removing his hand from her ass but not before giving her one more hard slap.

*Slap*

*Yelp*

"Eepp!" Tarte yelped again.

"So, where is the report about the businesses in the west district of the territory?" Kouske asked, turning his attention to Bertrand, who had been quietly standing in the corner of the room, furiously blushing. She hadn't said anything since the morning incident.

"Hmmnn?" Bertrand responded absentmindedly.

"The papers," Kouske reiterated, extending his hand.

Tarte, beside him, was lightly rubbing her plump ass with a red tint and pout on her face.

It had been a while since Kouske and Tarte had officially started going out and became lovers, so it was pretty normal for them to get a bit intimate nowadays.

"Oh! Sorry. Here," Bertrand apologized, handing over the papers.

"It's alright," Kouske replied, smiling, as he started going through the files.

The west side of the Sabnock territory housed many of his businesses, particularly the shopping district.

This area included malls selling Akatsuki's exclusive products, hotels and hot spring resorts, an arcade building resembling a vertical gaming console controller with toy guns on top sides, named Control, shops specializing in one-time-use magic circles, stores dealing in monster remains from the pits, and outlets for his hand crafted weapons and medicines.

He had already started his hotel and hot spring resort business in the human world and some of the other devil territories with the Gremory family's help. Sirzechs had fulfilled his promise to assist him in his business, and it was going well for the moment.

The arcade and the one-time-use magic circles were a massive hit. Sadly, Elle had been spending too much time in there. So he had to ban her for a while.

Kouske had revolutionized the market by selling the one-time-use magic circles at reasonable prices, something no one else had done before.

These circles were a massive hit, bringing in huge revenue. As he reviewed the reports, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction at the success of his ventures.

Many nobles were infuriated with Kouske for making magic circles accessible to commoners, albeit weaker ones.

However, their opinions didn't matter to him. But the meetings with many clan heads and the reporters were a constant pain.

"Now, give me the letters," said Kouske, asking Bertrand for the correspondence.

With his skills, going through the previous papers was instantaneous, making Bertrand and Tarte amazed despite having seen it many times.

"Here," Bertrand handed him the letters.

Being his secretary was mostly Sakuya or Tarte's job, but Bertrand had been following him for a while in many places.

So he thought he might as well make her accustomed to these tasks to lessen their workload.

As Kouske was going through the letters, he saw many requests for meetings to discuss new business ventures.

He could tell that some of them were from spies sent by other clan heads, trying to cause losses for him or bind him to unfavorable contracts, based on the connections these people had with the other clans.

Kouske obviously wasn't going to accept their requests. But there was one name that he found important: Naud Gamigin, from one of the 72 pillar devils, a very famous announcer of the Underworld media.

It seemed he wanted to host a one-time program about the Sabnock's return. The idea itself didn't seem bad to Kouske, but the day Naud asked for the meeting was a bit troubling—he had date plans with Tarte that day.

So, he quickly wrote a letter in response to reschedule the meeting for another day. Tarte, being beside him, could see him writing the letter.

"Um, are you declining his request? He would actually be a good help to boost our clan's image," said Tarte.

"I am not declining. I am just delaying it for a bit. We have our date that day, right?" said Kouske casually.

"Huh?" Tarte let out a confused noise as a blush slowly crept up her face.

"Y-you d-don't have to worry about that. This meeting is important. We don't know if he would be willing to postpone it; he is one of the most influential media personnel. What if his ego gets hurt? He is a devil after all..." Tarte went on, not wanting any opportunities to be missed just because of her.

Kouske suddenly held her hand and pulled her onto his lap, making her yelp in surprise, making them come face to face.

*Yelp*

"Nah, you are more important to me. So don't worry. We don't really get much free time together anyway, and I won't let it go to waste," said Kouske, making Tarte turn her face to the side, her cheeks reddening at his words, causing her heart to flutter.

Kouske noticed the tints of red in her ears, even as she tried to hide her face. Gently, he turned her face back toward him, bringing her face closer to his own.

"You look adorable," said Kouske, gently, in her ears, making a shiver run down Tarte's back. Then, looking at her cute face, he affectionately touched and rubbed her nose with his own.

Soon he took her supple lips in his own and started kissing her, his hands creeping up to her soft breasts, pulling on her nipples, making her squirm and let out muffled moans.

"Nnggh... Mmm..."

She began to reciprocate, their tongues twisting and twirling inside each other's mouths, mixing their saliva.

Tarte wrapped her arms around his body, pulling him closer as her firm and spongy breasts pressed against his robust chest, mushing them together, changing their shape.

Kouske's hands were exploring her ass, rubbing and molding it as his hand slowly slipped inside her panty.

After some time, Tarte jerked back, arching her body backward in his hold. She reached her first orgasm, pure bliss and small tears evident in her eyes.

The sudden arching interrupted their kiss, showing a string of saliva connecting their lips.

It was the first time Kouske had been so proactive with her.

Maybe, after his first experience, his sense of desire had increased, making him want more. He is an evil dragon after all.

Tarte was huffing and puffing in bliss; it was her first time feeling anything close to this.

Exhausted from the sudden increase in her hormones, she fell asleep peacefully in his arms.

Kouske hugged and smelled her soft body affectionately for a while, making her squirm and rub her pussy on his length over his pants in her sleep.

Soon, Kouske gently put her down on the chair next to him.

Then he looked at the person who had been ignored for too long.

Bertrand was looking at them hotly, her face fully red as her legs squirmed and rubbed together where she stood.

Slowly, her hands crept down to her legs, but she stopped as she noticed Kouske looking at her state.

She was a blushing mess, her heart rate and breathing uneven.

Seeing him gaze at her embarrassing state, she panicked, blushed, and tried to run out of the room. Her mind was also full of the incident from just this morning.

"S-s-sorry! I will e-excuse myself!" Bertrand stammered, attempting to flee the scene in her embarrassment.

"Wait," Kouske ordered, stopping her in her tracks, her head bowed in shame, awaiting his next command.

"Wanna join?" Kouske asked, smiling at her.

"Huh?!" she exclaimed, bewildered.

"You love me, right? I've also come to like you over the years. Maybe it's fine to make it official," said Kouske, urging her to come closer.

"My Lord~..." she whispered.

"Just call me Kouske. You don't really have to be so stiff. It's already been years," said Kouske.

"How could I?"

After some back and forth, she finally agreed to call him by his name when they were alone.

She slowly approached him as he suddenly lifted her up into his arms, placing her gently on his lap, bringing them face to face.

*Yelp*

Then he gently kissed her to mark the moment. She responded, though her inexperience showed—it was her first kiss ever.

They followed their desires as she wrapped her legs around his waist, but Kouske restrained himself, respecting the significance of their first time together. He didn't go any further than some hot kisses.

But their intimate moment was interrupted when Sakuya suddenly entered to call everyone to breakfast.

Throughout the hot session, Tarte remained wide awake, though she pretended to be asleep, her face flushed red.

Both Kouske and Bertrand paused, unsure if Sakuya would be upset, especially after their first night together just the previous evening.

Sakuya showed no anger; she simply urged Kouske to join them at the table, a hint of blush softening her usually stoic expression.

"Okay. We will soon be there," Kouske replied as Sakuya went back.

"Bertrand, tell old man Dutch that I'll be meeting him next week," said Kouske, gently setting Bertrand down on the ground from his lap.

Kouske referred to the Beleth clan ancestor by that name. His sudden intention to meet the ancestor puzzled her, but she resolved to follow her lord's orders.

"Y-yes, I will relay that message, K-kouske-sama" replied Bertrand, her cheeks still flushed as she tried to compose herself after the intimate moment.

Three days later, Kouske took Tarte and Bertrand with him to meet the Nakiris. It would also work to provide some experience to them.

He planned to meet them as himself, not under his Akatsuki persona, since the Nakiri siblings already recognized his face.

It was clear they knew Kouske and Akatsuki were the same person, especially since he had been using his adult appearance, merely changing his hair and eye color.

Their previous meetings had already established this, so there was no need for secrecy.

This time, they were meeting to discuss the Utsusemi Agency and the recent kidnapping of children.

Was Kouske's behaviour kinda cheap?? And how he just asked Bertrand to... I do think it was quite unlike Kouske to just outright ask her like that...]
