Rudra followed his coronation with some time off with Ruby , as the two finally spent some quality time together.

  In the week that followed their formal engagement , Ruby stayed in the new True Elites Kingdom inside Rudra's majestic palace sharing a room with Rudra.

  Needless to say that the nights were full of passion and romance , while the days were more or less the same.

  Ruby's shy nature made her face go red 15 times an hour as Rudra would make one lewd comment after another as he teased her in bed.

  However nonetheless she was very happy with how things turned out , and very happy with the palace where she would stay . ( Also happy with Rudra's stamina and performance )

  She immediately took up her duty as the queen to be as she reorganized the palace , appointed new staff and impremented some much needed structure and order to the place to the absolute pleasure of Amelia .

  Rudra was surprised at how luxurious life could be , as Ruby's management helped him experience peak convenience , as she made everything very functional , and hence as a bachelor who was unorganised and pretty much useless in all the house related stuff , he appreciated Ruby's help around the place very much.

  Had it been upto him , he would have never let Ruby leave the place , however her spending such long amounts of time at his place without their formal marriage was not approved by her father, hence regretfully untill the marriage , the two had to part ways.

  The marriage date was set to be 4 months from now , at the peak of spring inside Vanaheim , as it was the most beautiful season with the rare white ygssadrill flowers blooming , which was the dream wedding in Ruby's mind.

  Hence Rudra had to bear the bachelor life for 4 more months untill he could officially wed Ruby.

  However naturally this did not sit well with his parents , as the moment he returned to reality , he was dragged into a very serious family conversation , that saw him get into deep trouble for having an affair in-game and not informing his parents.

  Rudra was helpless , as although he was an independent adult capable of making his own choices , he was also someone who respected and loved his parents to the extreme , and he did not want to take Any actions as far as possible that would hurt their feelings and emotions.

  Hence after a round of back and forth and compromises , it was decided that mama and papa Rajput would accept Rudra's relationship with Ruby as long as Rudra formally got engaged to Naomi in real life and planned their wedding as soon as possible.

  Rudra was not completely against marrying Naomi in real life , however for him the decision was not as smooth as agreeing to marry Ruby , which he looked forward to.

  However if his parents were happy from it , and he knew that Naomi would surely be thrilled , he decided to agree to it as he bought a ring and proposed to Naomi as well.

  Naturally Naomi was extremely happy and satisfied , as Rudra felt a knot in his heart untie as finally his personal life seemed to have stabilized for good.

  However little did he know that it was mama Rajput's and Naomi's combined plan that forced him into this situation . But even if he did know it would not matter much anyways , as he knew in his heart that it was the right thing to do.

  Hence , Rudra finally felt that after a pastlife of goofing around and unsuccessful relationships he had finally turned things around in his second life with him being able to land not one but two great women who he cared for as his fiance.

  Was 2 considered a harem? He did not know , however he was sure that he would never need a number three , as for as far as he was concerned , Ruby was shakuni's wife while Naomi was Rudra's.

  Hence with all these problems settled when Rudra finally focused back on the game and its problems , his first goal was to collect the remaining pages of the demons diary as he started to seriously put his back behind that mission ——

  ( Meanwhile near a hut in a desolate forest)

  Dronacharya rode his mount , the whiteback rhino alongside Dele Ali a tier 4 member of the blood merchant organization , as they rode towards a small hut in an otherwise desolate forest.

  Dronacharya asked " Are you sure a tier 4 mage would be living in such a shabby hut? "

  Dronacharya seriously doubted if someone as great as the legends he had heard would choose to live in such a hut , especially considering the wealth and respect such an existance could command.

  Dele Ali said " It's the style of the black hood shaman , don't say this infront of his face lest you offend him ".

  Dele Ali reprimanded dronacharya and reminded him that the person they were going to meet was extremely dangerous and not someone that could be easily offended.

  Dronacharya gulped , if the legends were to be beleived then the shaman was one of the strongest characters under tier 5 in the game period!

  If they could obtain the help of such a character , then their chances of victory over the elites would be greatly increased!

  As the two approached the hut , an extremely foul smell that would make any normal tier 0 human faint entered their noses as the mounts instantly got wild and kicked their owners off their backs as they spend away from the house .

  " I guess on-foot then " said dele Ali as he glanced towards the hut in fear .

  Even the blood merchants were wary of this guy , as nobody wanted the shaman to put a curse on them.
