Osirus sighed as he walked to the meeting room. He could understand her a little, such a potion could be dangerous if it was used against her. She's already dangerous enough, so seeing her fighting savagely, and using her gear… She would be unstoppable. He knows that it would be impossible for her to take the potion willingly, but there's enough chances that someone may put some in her food, or in a drink. But knowing her, she might be a bit more cautious from now on. He entered the room and took his place, sitting next to Chevalir. He had to confess this, sitting that way is a bit hard for him since he's more comfortable with chairs. He understood that Kumiko wanted the city to feel like a city in ancient Japan, but he didn't like it. If he could ask her to change the city's structure, but knowing how attached she's to the traditions, she would see it like an insult. He knows that it was an idea of his lord to get more cultures into this place, and that the medieval European culture is already in this world. He sighed as he saw the samurai entering the room, she was followed by Vali and Azazel. They all took their seats and waited for the others to get here. When he saw Shirone and Li Niang entering, he felt like there's something between them, as they couldn't look at each other's eyes and their faces were red. He then saw the others entering.
"Thank you for coming" sighed Kumiko as she gazed on the others "Ever since the first meeting that took place a month ago, the city was in peace. But recently, the kingdom began to disturb the peace in the city… by sending illicit substances. The first time, they tried to get drugs in, but they failed thanks to the efforts of the justiciar and the supreme commander of the cavalry, we took them out. Their second attempt, is by bringing their potions in" she put a potion on her table "To normal humans, it will stimulate their sexual desire to a point of no return… but to none humans… it can bring their primal rage out, transforming them into killing machines" she paused before taking a grim look on her face "And for the Onis… it can lead them to a destructive path… and then kill them"
There were many reactions ; Osirus was shocked by the last part, Vali was more furious as his bloodlust was emanating from him, Glarion was worried on the effect on his draconic genes, Arthur frowned at it as he knew what kind of damage it could cause, Le Fay was worried if it touches anyone of her none human friends and its effects on them, Shirone was a bit more worried than the others since it could force her to use her Senjutsu to harm others, Kuroka knew how to control herself but was still worried about her sister, Mare didn't know how to react to all of this, Lifain was a bit angry at the kingdom and their ways to take what they can't by manipulating the others to destroy it slowly from the inside, Chevalir seemed like she wasn't listening, Pugione narrowed her eyes as she was thinking of something, Li Niang was worried about Kumiko, Akeno knew that it wasn't something to laugh about and that it could cause the basis of the city to collapse, Azazel was a bit calmer than the others and was thinking.
"Can… can I ask Ainz-sama about this?" asked the girlish elf.
"Since he's the one who rules over this territory, it's just normal to inform him of it" answered Kumiko.
"Can't we just attack the nobles?" asked Osirus.
"Don't be that foolish" sighed Arthur "If we kill him, the other nobles would take up their arms and force others to fight"
"Arthur is right" added Kumiko "It would cause people to lose their fathers, brothers, sons… A true ruler must always try to leave the people in peace"
"So what should we do?!" snapped Li Niang "I don't want big sis to get hurt!"
"Li…" called Shirone as she caught her hands "Kumiko-nee-ama can't be fooled by them"
"Shirone…" called Li Niang as she blushed.
But the two soon realized that they are still with the others and let go of each other.
"The best we can do is make sure that no one enters the city" stated Kumiko "Then, we search the entire city and make sure that there's no one in here. The assembly is done" as the others were leaving, she called Osirus and told him to stay.
"What do you need" sighed Osirus.
"How are things with Chevalir?"
"We talked and… she seem like she knows that I still love her"
"Is that all what you did?"
"What do you mean?"
Kumiko sighed before looking at him "How can you be so stupid?"
"What?"
"Look, I'll give you both the rest of the day off. So listen to what I'm going to say; go to her, and make her FEEL that you love her. Otherwise, she would think that you're only interested in the child both of you are going to have" explained Kumiko "Don't lose her"
"I-I didn't know that you cared that much" said Osirus with wide eyes.
"You said that you wanted to live in peace in this world, so I've decided to help you with that" replied Kumiko "So go, and make sure that your woman is really yours"
Osirus chuckled and headed home, with the advice of the samurai in his head.
He walked home trying to think of something he could do…
Something clicked and he changed course.
{wow, you actually had an Idea}
'Do you have to be so mean?'
He got a giggle in response.
He bought an Item that was very expensive but will be worth it… he hoped.
He was not ambushed by his old master this time, she must be plotting something.
He walked inside and saw Chevalir standing in the center of the room with her back to the door, she seemed to be lost in thought.
He placed the small item quietly on the table and got right behind her.
He grabbed her and quickly turned her around, pulling her into a kiss.
She froze in response with wide eyes, she slowly melted into the kiss and hugged in return.
They seperated after a few minutes, he held her there.
"We have the rest of the day off, will you come out with me?"
"Where?" she asked.
"Just come with me"
He pulled her along with him and took her to one of her favorite places.
"Why are we here?" she asked, still not in the best of moods.
"We are here because I have some things to say, and I wanted you to be in one of your favorite places when I do"
They both sat down on the ground under a large tree, the view around them was grand.
"Chevalir, I am not the brightest, and I don't think I ever will be. That means I might do stupid things and regret them later. I might say things that offend people and not realize it until everyone around me is upset."
He paused and looked her directly in the eyes.
"I may not be the best when it comes to plans and strategies, but I will fight to protect the ones I love. I'm not good at coming up with ideas, I am not very confident in my most recent one but I will go on with it."
He stood up and pulled her along with him, he pulled her into another kiss.
He steeled his resolve and let her go.
"With all that said, I have…..a question for you" he said in a soft voice.
He summoned the small box and held it behind his back.
"What…..what is it?" she asked with a nervous voice.
Osirus dropped to one knee and held up the box and opened it, revealing a shining ring.
"Will you marry me?"

Her heart skipped several beats, she could see the fear and uncertainty in his eyes.
'He….he really does love me….'
She did not know what to do….. She had fears as well.
She really wanted to say yes…..but what if this is all a game?
He said it was a drunken mistake, but it could have been a lie.
She saw the fear continue to grow in his eyes, genuine fear.
She could tell he was trying his best, it could all be seen in his glowing orange eyes.
'Maybe I should give him one more chance?'

He was terrified, she has been silent for a while.
'I fucked up, didn't I?'
{Do you want my honest opinion?}
'Not exactly'
{What are you going to do if she says no?}
'I…..i don't know'
{you still have me~}
'That's refreshing'
{You also have you old master, and the succubus won't be leaving you anytime soon}
"Yes"
He was torn from his inner conversation by Chevalir.
"R-really?"
"Yes, but don't go getting any other girls that I don't approve of pregnant, or I will castrate you personally, understand?"
"H-hai"
She took the ring and placed it on, then pulled him up into a kiss.
'W-wait, did she say any girls she doesn't approve of?'
She let him go but grabbed the front of his shirt and began to pull him. "Now come, you're going to satisfy me"
"w-wait….what?"
