Why was Kitty able to open the treasure chest? Because she had mana the belongs to Yunan thanks to the slave/master contract between the two.

Although Kitty was worried about the injuries of her beloved master, she did not fuss around like usual simply because though it was grave, her master was not feeling much troubled himself. Mostly Yunan was feeling a bit more grateful to Ophelia than usual, he knew very well how much care she put in her work on him, making him feel like he should bring her into the harem before she gets tired of acting like it didn't matter to her at the moment.

Yunan stayed in bandages for about a month before he was brought before the whole family and sat face to face with Leader, he was asked the most important question a family member can ask "are you alright?", Yunan was expecting questions like, what happened, or why are you trying to get killed, how come you are too weak, and so on, but the question he received made him feel a little happy and warm on the inside.

"I have a 20% debuff on all stats for 100 years unless I complete a quest, so far, I have no clue about the quest, therefore I choose to use my disability to gain new heights in comprehending my own abilities, it worked so far and I should have used a buff to counteract the debuff but I could not resist the idea of being challenged to death". Yunan expected a scolding from Leader, especially with the way she looked starting the interrogation, but he found it was a relieved hug and a flick to the forehead.

"Next time tell us what happened and your plans before we get worried, that way we can respond faster and be ready for more eventualities, also don't scare me like that again, you lost half your torso, you were split in half, how can i not worry, I know you are a good healer too but if you are injured in that kind of mental state how do you expect to properly heal yourself". Yunan sat in place and let himself enjoy the scolding, it was full of so much care that he wished the boys would beat him to make sure this wasn't a dream.

It seems that stagnation in the 81st floor was something beyond the power of Debauchery and they were getting sick of it, so Yunan decided that before they fought the next time he would give them a good buff so that they could progress a bit better in their quest to conquer that floor, after all, he owed them this much at least. After being scolded so tenderly Yunan was dropped off at the guild headquarters with the mission to buy a kingdom for himself, "Reina is not getting younger and she couldn't keep rejecting suitors unless she had one in mind, and unless you are a king it will look shabby to others, so get your shit together and make Reina your Queen" that was what Lili said when he has been given his mission, it was true, 22 years old was getting on with age in Burkan, a few more years and she would be unsuitable for marriage according to the ordinary people, but for dungeon explorers she still stank from her dirty diapers.

Reina had light pink flush cover her cheeks as she locked hands with Yunan and went on a daydream about how they looked like a couple buying their love nest, Yunan led the girl gently inside the building and they soon were meeting with the clerk in charge of selling and buying kingdoms. The man looked rather pleased, if you buy a kingdom for your friend, you will surely buy one for your wife to be.

The clerk was smart enough to showcase the royal palaces instead of the kingdoms themselves, and that worked fine until Reina remembered they could just ask Hephaestus to build them a royal palace of dreams and that was the best way to get the best royal palace ever, so she changed her mind and started looking at the qualities of the kingdoms.

On the table between the spreadsheets full of information, one caught Yunan's eye and he reached for it, probably it was the one the clerk wanted to keep for last or did not intend to show at all. It was a small kingdom, just 75000 km² of coastal land, the royal city was sheltered from storms by a natural golf hidden between 2 giant cliff walls, then the ocean was west side and on the east of the royal city was a rather green, tree fruit farmlands that looked like a primordial jungle.

What caught Yunan's eye, however, was the word "autonomous", meaning the kingdom was able to function for a long time without much interference, neither did it need a public figure like a king to show their face every now and then and the authorities were doing a good job keeping it running.

" How about this one, it is the kind we like, a nice view with a big garden". "Excuse me sir but that one has not had a public figure like a king and is run fully by the population, the happiness rates are high and the population are content with the work they do and the management, it is currently under the supervision of the guild and has been for the last 400 years, this kingdom has not had a king since then, and since it population is independent, they would reject the meddling of a stranger king, it has not been bought at all, I dare say that this kingdom would not suit sir and madam at all".

"How about education, infrastructure and services?" Reina turned on her royal Princess mode and asked with sparkling eyes. "Madam, under the guidance of the guild this kingdom does not rely on magic and is a scientific nation, the use of magic is prohibited, with exception of trading with the neighbouring countries, and communication with them this kingdom does not allow the usage of magic, in order to prevent the influence of magic and mana corruption on the land, that is why it looks so beautiful and natural, everything from roads to plumbing to heating to farming and whatever you can think of is made through science and technology but never magic".

"The kingdom also has a 100% educated population, and has population control laws, the older generation is to work in logistics and matters of diplomacy and governance while the younger generation works the fields and the production, the kingdom also has many laws that restrict the pollution and the waste management that comes with industrialization, there is also strict migration rules as well as tourism, also most services are provided to the population free of charge to those who pay taxes, as for the proceeds from the trade with the rest of the world it goes to the improvement of the kingdom and betterment of its Infrastructure and farmlands, as well as pay the staff from the guild".

"Basically, sir and madam, this kingdom is not a place where you can rule or become a public figure, it also forbids the use of magic so that many conveniences are lost, otherwise it is a happy little corner of the world with perfect tropical weather all year long". "Then we would like to buy it, and I would like the current management to stay as is, the citizens would know about me buying the land and becoming its king but nothing else will change and everything will stay the same, if the guild can keep the current management they have over the kingdom I would be happy, for now i want to focus on clearing the dungeon, as for the royal palace we will deal with it at our own discretion, as for the kingdom I want everything to stay the same, even the name, the only thing I want to change is my name as the owner of the land and its king".

The clerk was once again perplexed, first this man before him bought a bankrupted kingdom, started sweeping reforms, and gave it to his friends, he even paid a hefty sum to get a lot of help from the guild, that same person now just bought an autonomous kingdom, asked for nothing to change but his name on the deed of the land, something that was mind-boggling, that kingdom has been returned by many prospective buyers simply because the population refused to offer tribute or work under changed laws, sometimes the population went as far as refusing to acknowledge the king and rose in revolution, however this guy here wants his new kingdom to stay as if he did not even buy it, rich people were weird.

Once done with the formalities, king Yunan of the twilight pearl kingdom returned with his queen to be to their bridal home where the king's harem and his retainers awaited with anticipation the kind of kingdom their lord would claim as his own regal territory
