Reincarnated As The Crazy Prince

Chapter Nine: The Prince's Palace of Delights

As Prince Lorcan returned to the palace, his successful handling of the mercenary threat bolstered his reputation among his people and the royal council. His bold leadership impressed many, but his unpredictable ways continued to leave others questioning his decisions.

With his newfound fame, Lorcan decided to indulge in one of his favorite pastimes—keeping everyone on their toes. He began to make changes to the palace that reflected his new status as a powerful and influential leader.

One of these changes was the introduction of concubines to his court, a decision that surprised many and unsettled others. Lorcan transformed a wing of the palace into an extravagant and luxurious haven for his concubines, filled with lavish decor, plush furnishings, and a tranquil garden.

The prince handpicked individuals known for their beauty, charm, and unique talents. They hailed from various parts of the kingdom and even from distant lands, adding an exotic flair to Lorcan's collection.

Lorcan took great pleasure in his new companions, hosting extravagant feasts and entertaining evenings filled with music, dance, and spirited conversations. His concubines adored him, showering him with attention and admiration.

Despite the initial unease among the palace staff and council, Lorcan's concubines quickly adapted to life in the palace, winning over many with their grace and poise. The prince, too, enjoyed the variety and the companionship they offered, finding their presence a welcome distraction from the complexities of ruling.

However, his decision to bring concubines into the palace did not go unnoticed by his former fiancé, Eris. The news of Lorcan's new indulgence left Eris feeling conflicted and distant from the prince.

Eris's sense of duty and love for the kingdom remained strong, but he couldn't help but question Lorcan's choices. He wondered if the prince was losing sight of his responsibilities in favor of personal pleasure.

Lorcan, on the other hand, seemed unbothered by the reactions of others. He carried on with his plans, taking joy in the whirlwind of excitement he had brought to the palace. His concubines filled his days with entertainment and intrigue, allowing him to bask in the attention and adoration he craved.

As Lorcan's life became increasingly extravagant, whispers of his new habits reached the council's ears. They watched him closely, uncertain of how his decisions would impact the future of the realm.

Despite the council's concerns, Lorcan seemed to revel in his newfound freedom, relishing the opportunity to enjoy life on his own terms. The prince's journey had taken an unexpected turn, and only time would tell how his decisions would shape the fate of the kingdom.
