Chapter 4: Distrust
Almaz heard his name being called before he lost consciousness. As he hit the floor, he didn't feel anything anymore.
"Quick we need to get him to nurse's office quickly!" Said Sapphire as she jumped off of Aurum and ran to the fallen overlord/hero but be before she got to him, she found her way blocked. The people blocking her way were the class leaders, who were still injured, and Super Hero Aurum.
"We won't let you try to kill our dean princess! Do you understand what I am saying to you? Is what I say clear?" Salvatore said to the princess while she had her hand on her gun ready to draw her weapon at an giving moment.
"Wait, what do you mean? I'm not here to kill him! He is my friend and I would never try to kill a friend!"
"Awwww tsk, tsk, tsk, princess. Do you really believe us as fools that we would believe you are his friend. What kind of friend would abandon his friend in his time of need and then say she would be back one day to kill her so called friend just because he became the Overlord and dean of this school?" Said Master Big Star while holding a bright red rose near his face and smiling with his eyes on her.
"Do you really think that I would be that heartless and try to strike him when he is down?" Sapphire said. She put her hands over her mouth realizing what she just said was not what she meant to say.
The class leaders looked at her with disgust. Not believing what she said.
"So you still plan on killing your friend Princess? I won't let you lay one hand on my friend even if you are here for the signing of the treaty. Oh, I'm sorry, but allow me to introduce myself my name is Rutile." Rutile said.
"They have a point Sapphire, we can't really trust you especially with what you said just now. My name is Petta."
"So you came here to try just to kill him like Mao princess? You are just like, him and will do anything to get what you want!" Said Super Hero Aurum while taking a fighting stance.
"Everyone, that is enough. Don't be too hard on her please."
They turned to see Almaz had woken up and was trying to stand but was not having much luck staying up. He was about to fall again but he was caught by Kyoko and Asuka and Raspberyl who had rushed to his side after they helped him up he spoke again.
"Long time no see princess. I would offer you a place to sit if we were in better condition. Everyone, please go to the nurse's office to get yourselves healed. We are going to have a lot of work to do after what Mao has done to the school." Almaz said with his face facing down
"Almaz are you all right are you -"But before sapphire could finish he spoke.
"I'm very sorry for interrupting you but we can talk later, OK? Right now I'm feeling weak. We will also have to reschedule the signing of the treaty for another day. For now you can stay at a guest room that I will provide for you free of charge as you are our guest here."
She was about to say something but was stopped again.
"Don't worry, I didn't do anything to the room if you're worried that I might try to do something to you, have your hopes too high." Almaz said before his vision started to go dark again went limp less in Kyoko's, Asuka's and Raspberyl's arms. The last thing he said was" I'm glad you three are safe and the kids."
"We need to get him to his room to rest." Raspberyl said.
"We will take him there right away My Lady!" Said Kyoko and Asuka said at the same time before carrying him to his room with Super Hero Aurum behind them.
"Well the dean has given us orders. Let's get to nurse's office to get ourselves checked out before we get to repair the school." said Raspberyl to the class leaders. They all just nodded and went to the nurse's office while the princess decided to follow them and see if she could anything to help.
When they arrived at the nurse's office, her room was filled with injured students and other nurse's healing the ones that were hurt but not many were injured in the attack that Mao had launched. After they got themselves checked out the decided to go to the staff room, where they sat in silence until Sapphire decided to speak.
"When are we going to see if Almaz is ok? I don't think I have had the pleasures in meeting the two you." she said to Petta and Rutile who were sitting on a couch next to each other and looked at her when she talked to them.
"As I said before, my name is Rutile and I was transfer student from the human world until I came here and applied to be a student here and the dean or Almaz let me stay. I have been trying very hard in trying to get my graduation diploma so I can make my parent's proud me. I am also the freshmen leader." Rutile said while bowing to Sapphire.
"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Petta, I am Overlord Zetta's one and only daughter!" she said with a smile. "I'm also the junior class leader of this school. The reason I joined this academy was to prove my strength to my father for him to finally accept me as his daughter."
When they were done with their introductions they just sat back down and didn't say anything else. Sapphire felt as no one wanted to talk to her. She felt a little hurt not even her old friend Miss Beryl wanted to talk to her. She was looking down to the floor like she was in deep thought but she looked worried. Before she could ask what was wrong, the staff doors opened with Kyoko and Asuka walking in. They walked to their lady and began to talk to her and it made her worries disappear a little bit she looked little happy.
"What's going on Miss Beryl? Is Almaz alright? Sapphire asked.
"Yes he is he will pull through, he's just tired and needs his rest for now. He is in his room resting and being treated by the nurse's who are not treating the injured students in their office. Kyoko and Asuka just told me that Diane and the kids will be here at any moment and that Aurum is guarding Almaz by standing guard outside his room." Raspberyl said to everyone in the room.
The class leaders looked a little relived as well they were happy that there dean was going to be OK. That moment Diane and the kids walked into the room. The kids each ran to their mothers and were pulled into a hug before being told to sit down. Diane sat in between her grandchildren.
"So princess, I suppose you want know what's going on here and what I'm doing here with my grandchildren."
Sapphire only stared at her and spoke.
"Wait, you mean they're your grandchildren. Then that would mean that Almaz had children with- with…"
She only looked at the couch that Kyoko, Asuka and Raspberyl were sitting on as they were looking away from her gaze and they each had hint that they were blushing .She then looked closely at their left hands and each had a single different colored ring on their hands. Raspberyl's ring was a pink ring with a red glow to it, Kyoko's ring was purple with a faint dark glow, and Asuka's ring was light red and gave a strong glow and heat.
"You're joking right? This has to be dream, right? This isn't real; I know this is all a dream. We still haven't even faced the Super Hero and Almaz isn't the Overlord. He can't be! He's still the weakling that I know and love right? None of this can be true, he can't be married he said that he would love me only!" Sapphire said with worry and obliviously a little jealously.
"I'm sorry to say this, but this is not a dream princess, this is real life and my son is married to these three beautiful ladies' here." Diane said to Sapphire.
Sapphire did not want to believe this at all. There was no way this could all be true. But the more she looked at the kids and the rings on her friends hands the more she thought it was true.
Everything she had been told was too much for her so she did something that no ever expected she passed out right in front of them and fell to the floor.
Everyone looked at the passed out princess on the floor.
Until Raspberyl's child Shilin spoke.
"Mommy is the Princess ok? Does she need help or some tea?"
Raspberyl only smiled at her child. She was happy and proud of her daughter just like Asuka and Kyoko were of their kids.
"She's fine Shilin, she just passed out from what we told her and is resting now." Raspberyl said.
One hour later, Sapphire started to come around to her name being called.
"Princess! It's time to wake up! You can't stay asleep all day, it's bad for you." She heard the voice say.
She thought back to who would be worried about her. Her thoughts brought her to Almaz she unknowing pulled that person into a hug and said:
"Almaz, please don't leave me again. I'm sorry for abandoning you here in the Netherworld." She was brought out of her dream when she heard some call her and wake her up.
"Princess! You're crushing me again, please let me go!" Raspberyl said to the princess who was waking up.
"I'm sorry Miss Beryl! I couldn't help myself, you're just so cute!" Sapphire said but she was lying to Miss Beryl. She didn't want her to hear that she was dreaming about Almaz. Raspberyl looked at her like she knew what Sapphire was really dreaming about but she let it go and went back to couch next to Kyoko and Asuka. Sapphire got up from the couch and sat straight up and looked around to see Master Big Star had left and Diane and the three kids left as well. She was left alone with Salvatore, Petta, Rutile, Kyoko, Asuka and Raspberyl.
"How long was I out for?" Sapphire said to everyone in the room.
"You were out for about for one hour before you came back around." Rutile said to Princess.
"Thank you Rutile. But Miss Beryl, if I may ask, how did the three of you marry Almaz and why did you the three of you accept his offer?"
"If you want I can tell you the story of how we got together but we all need to talk, that includes you Salvatore, Rutile and Petta."
They all looked at Raspberyl with questionable looks.
"What do you mean Raspberyl?" Rutile asked.
"She's right, what are you talking about?" Petta said.
"They speak the truth Raspberyl! What are you saying?" Salvatore said
"Our lady and us know that you each have feelings for our husband, including yourself Princess." said Kyoko and Asuka.
The four girls just stayed in silence not looking at each other.
"The three of us should really have seen this coming since Almaz told us how he has helped all of you out in the past and since he has become the Overlord."
"But we don't know about you Princess, since you left him and even said that you won't try to attack him with his guard down makes us a little worried that you still might have a grudge against him." Raspberyl said for the three of them.
"I'm sorry for what I said. I didn't mean like that, I swear! I just spoke without thinking. I'm really sorry. But what did you mean we all like Almaz?"
"I will get straight to point. Me, Kyoko, and Asuka are willing to share him, but only if he agrees to it and his mother as well. But before you ask why we are doing this, it's because we don't want to all of you to be hurt. We have seen how you look at him when he is not looking. We see you blushing and you quickly look away. You can tell us what you think of our offer when we tell you how we got with Almaz then how we got married with him." Raspberyl said to the girls who were staring at the three of in shock.
