Chapter 5- What are they wearing?!

Looking around, she let her green eyes wander. All around her, dead bodies littered the ground, she can even see some moving. 'Necromancy.' She thought bitterly as she watched the dead walk about. She felt sorry for these people. Families broken, villages destroyed. She felt her heart grow heavy, looking up, she can even the skies go red. Its as if the sky has died as well.

Hearing a groan, she turns around and sees a corpse of a child pushing itself from the ground. She closed her eyes as she felt tears dripping from her eyes. She couldn't do anything in this vision, she can't even touch anything. She can only watch in pain.

Feeling something behind her, she turned around…only for her eyes to widen as she can see a skull with glaring red eyes. She felt as if it was staring right at her soul. Sweat began to cover her skin as she felt her body shake. The skeleton looked up and disappeared in a bright light. She yelped as she quickly closes her eyes.

Opening her eyes, she sees something that would forever haunt her.

Her eyes widened in horror as she can see many people dead. This time its worse. Bodies littered the ground at every corner, monsters and men pillage the buildings. She can even hear laughter from both monster and men as they held a crying woman, tearing off her clothes and proceeding to rape her.

She covered her ears in an attempt to block out the horrible screams and the cruel laughter. Her lips trembled as she felt tears continuously stain her cheeks. "Please stop!" She screamed as she kneeled. Her body trembled as she hears the screams of pain…anguish…destruction. "Stop! Wake up!" She screamed as she began to furiously shake her head. She couldn't take it anymore, she doesn't want to see anymore of this pain.

Thud!

Her eyes widened as she looks to her right. There she can see a tall dark figure staring at her. A disgusting grin appeared as its eyes sneer at her. Her eyes widened as the dark figure began reaching out to her. In an attempt to get away, she backed away, panicking as she began to breathe heavily. The grin only widened as it grabbed her hair, she yelped as she was roughly pulled to face the figure. Strangely enough, she can't even see the figure's face.

"Stop! Please!" She begged as the figure grinned and opened its mouth. "You're mine! Celestine!" The figure roared as it laughed and tore off her clothes. She gasps as she tried to cover her nude body. The figure then proceeded to lick her face with his tongue. "N-No! Stop!" She cried as she felt the figure forcefully spread her legs.

"Let her go!"

Her eyes widened with hope as she heard the figure grunt in pain as a spear made of gold lodged itself in its shoulder. "Charge!" The same voice ordered as thousands of soldiers wearing foreign armor charged, ignoring her.

Feeling a hand land on her shoulder, she flinched as she closes her eyes tightly. "You're safe now." The voice, obviously masculine, assured her softly as she turned and saw a figure wearing a golden set of armor. The armor covered his entire body except his arms which was protected by gauntlets, she can see a red skirt covering his waist, golden greaves covered his legs. Despite the dirt and the mud dirtying the figure, she can still see it shining. It was as if he was enveloped by a bright light.

She can barely see his face, but she can see his soft smile.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you." Tears spilled from her eyes, but this time it was tears of joy and relief. "…Who…are you?" The figure carried her as if she weighted nothing. "My name is…"

Dream end

Waking up with a gasp, Celestine got up from her bed, looking at her bed, she can see that it's a mess. The bed sheets were wet and ruined, and her pillow was drenched with sweat. Sighing, she closes her eyes as she held her hands over her chest.

Bang!

Her eyes widened as the doors to her room were opened with a loud bang. A woman quickly ran over to her in concern as she began examining Celestine. "My lady! Are you unhurt?! We heard you screaming and came here as fast as we can." Looking at the concerned woman, Celestine can only nod as she smiles at her. "I am fine Claudia, its just…another vision." She said as she got up from her bed. The woman, now named Claudia, kept her concern to herself as she helped Celestine get up from the bed.

(AN: Remember, I won't bother describing how Claudia and SOME of the other's looks I'll only describe appearances if it's my OC or a side character, to the rest, just search it up with our best friend internet. On another note, I know there are some people who don't like doing this, so to get this out of the way I'll explain why…I don't describe appearance that well. There.)

"My lady, please tell me what happened." Claudia begged as she watched Celestine fix her hair and her clothes. Celestine sighed as she held out her hand. Claudia took it as she waited for Celestine's answer. "Very well, have my handmaids clean my room and bring us breakfast to the gardens." Claudia nodded as she looked behind her and faced the handmaids awaiting their orders. "Clean our lady's room and bring us breakfast in the gardens." They all obediently obeyed as some of them headed towards Celestine's bed and began taking the stained sheets, while the others left for the kitchen.

Claudia went outside and waited for Celestine. Once the goddess reincarnate left her room, Claudia was immediately by her side. "This vision…its...horrible, Claudia." Celestine muttered towards the woman. Claudia can only look at her in concern as she continued her escort. "But at the same time…I feel hope…" Raising a brow, Claudia looks at the goddess in confusion.

Finally arriving at the gardens, Claudia can see that Celestine is finally at peace with the atmosphere. Celestine smiled as she walked towards a small, open building that has a small table and several chairs. Taking a seat for herself, Celestine closed her eyes as she heard Claudia take a seat in front of her. "What I saw in that vision was nothing but a nightmare." She felt herself shiver at remembering the vision. "Many people died…houses burned…women…" She closed her eyes as she struggles to say it. "…defiled, I was almost a victim…and I could not do anything to stop it." Claudia's eyes widened at that. To think that Celestine would have a vision where she herself was almost raped…almost?

"…and yet I was saved…we were saved Claudia. In that vision, I saw a man, leading countless soldiers towards the monsters and men." She closed her eyes as she held her hands over to her chest. Upon hearing this, Claudia was quite intrigued at both the man that rescued Celestine and at the fact that Celestine mentioned monsters AND men. It was as if monsters and men are working towards the same goal. She shudders as she imagined many men joining the monsters in an effort to overthrow the Seven Shields…then…turn them to slaves.

'Given the chance, that will most likely happen…but I will not let it be so.' Claudia thought as the handmaids arrived, bringing bread, fruits, two plates, and tea.

The handmaids bowed as Celestine raised her hand, motioning for them to leave. The handmaids bowed and left, leaving Celestine and Claudia alone. Celestine took a piece of bread and took a small bite from it. Looking at the knight in amusement, Celestine giggled softly as she saw Claudia take only take an apple from the fruits. "Claudia, have you been gaining weight?" Stopping herself from eating, the knight blushed as she stares at the goddess reincarnate in bewilderment.

Shaking herself out of her stupor, she regained her composure and put the apple down on her plate. "W-What makes you say that?" Celestine smiled cheerfully as she watched the mature woman trying to act calm. "Nothing." After a while, Claudia sighed as she smiles at Celestine. She only shows this side of her when they are together, it is not much of a surprise to the knight anymore.

Drinking from her cup of tea, she sighs as she felt the relaxing liquid soothe her body. Looking at Claudia, she smiles gently as she ripped a piece of the bread and took a bite.

As soon as she did this, both of them heard footsteps rapidly approaching their location. Claudia's eyes narrowed as her body tensed, her hand slowly reaching for her sword.

"Lady Claudia!" A feminine voice cried out, as soon as she heard the voice, Claudia relaxed and sighed as she calms her body. Putting down her cup of tea, Claudia stood up and faced the owner of the voice with a smile. There, panting while sweat poured from her body, a girl with golden hair stood as she eyed the knight. Claudia can only sigh as she approached the girl. "There was no need to run Alicia." The now named Alicia merely shook her head, giving her a piece of rolled paper, Claudia took it slowly and read its contents.

Celestine stood up with a serious face as she went beside Claudia. Her eyes widened in shock, Claudia's calm demeanor slowly turned to shock as she finished reading the end.

"An island appeared?" She asked bewildered as she look at Alicia in confirmation. Alicia only nodded, confirming the truth. "And the fishermen also said something to me." Alicia's statement gained the attention of both women, swallowing her spit slowly, she took a deep breath to calm her nerves.

"They saw large ships and people as well. They fear that it might be pirates."

Celestine felt discomfort when Alicia said that, they already have enough problems with the war against Olga Discordia and her legion of monsters, having pirates attacking them on the other side will cause problems. Looking at Claudia, she nodded to herself.

"Claudia, you and Alicia take several ships, confirm if they are pirates, if not, find out who they are. I would send Vault and his men, but I just gave them their mission a few days ago."

Claudia and Alicia, who is still sweaty, bowed to the goddess reincarnate.

"Yes!"

With Adonis, Star's Fall Island, 2 hours later

Adonis kept on staring at the island for what seems like hours, his mouth agape, suddenly he can see a couple ships in the distance moving slowly towards his location. Shaking himself out of his stupor he narrowed his eyes and rushed back to the camp. His mind wandering to the possibilities.

Enemies? Pirates?

Adonis's eyes darkened as His thoughts wandered to the latter. If those ships belong to pirates, then they will rue the day they cross with the Order Empire.

1 hour later

Claudia, Alicia, and a dozen of Claudia's best knights, the Dawn Templars, trek through the beach, unaware of the eyes above them.

El's eyes looked at the camp where there are none. She smirked, thanking the Magikills with their magic. Nocking an arrow, she aims at what seems to be the leader. 'For what seems to be warriors, you wear such little armor.' She thought to herself as she raised her bow, aiming for the sands in front of the leader. Waiting for the leader to get in front of the camp's barricades she calms herself.

Breathing slowly, she exhaled as she released the string.

Hearing a whoosh, Claudia's eyes widened as she felt an arrow pass through her, hitting the sand in front of her. Immediately, the knights surrounded her and Alicia in a circle, their swords ready. Alicia went beside her, eyes narrowed and sword ready.

"That's enough!" A masculine voice boomed as the area in front of her glowed white. She shielded her eyes as she heard her Dawn Templars scream in surprise.

Once the light died down, she can see that she is outnumbered. Not only that, it seems that whoever they are facing is prepared. She can see many soldiers with round shields facing them, creating a shield wall with spears at the ready. Looking around, she can see men behind the shields in rows. Behind the shield wall, she can see fierce men wearing chain armor with steel shoulder guards, they hold swords that are made of high quality. Then there are the archers, their eyes are focused on them, bows at the ready.

Hearing the flapping of wings behind her, her eyes widened as she quickly turned around and saw, to her shock, men and women with dark skin, but that's not what surprised her…no what surprised her were the wings, they each have bows and short swords strapped to their sides, her eyes narrowed at the woman between them, with her clothes, it was easy enough to see who their leader is.

"Adonis stop blushing! Talk now!" The woman suddenly shouted. This caused Claudia and the others to tense. "I can't! Look at their state of dress! And I am not blushing!" The same masculine voice argued with the woman. Alicia can only look at the shield wall and the woman in confusion. "Besides, how are we supposed to focus?! Even the Archidons are having a hard time staring at them! The Speartons are hiding their faces or closing their eyes! Its disrespectful to look at a woman naked!" Adonis shouted as he hides his blushing face with his shield.

"Then just talk!" A louder, more powerful voice boomed. Feeling the ground shake, Claudia, Alicia, and the Dawn Templars can only widen their eyes in shock and fear as they can see a gigantic man with a club walking towards the shield wall. "F-Fine!" Everything remained quiet for some time, until Claudia can see shield wall move. Her grip on her sword tightened as she watched a man with a different shield facing her approach her.

"Who are you and what is your business here?" Adonis's voice, finally calm, rang out. Relaxing herself, while keeping her guard up due to the Giant, Claudia stood up. "I am Claudia Levantine, leader of the Dawn Templars, I am sent by the goddess reincarnate Celestine Lucross to investigate this island." Adonis tense once he heard Celestine say goddess reincarnate. 'Maybe I can negotiate, if I can allow my people to pass and live on that land…wait…what if…' His eyes widening slowly, he gulped as he opens his mouth. "I am Adonis, 17th king of the Order Empire! I wish to speak to you privately…is that alright, Lady Claudia?" Adonis sighed afterwards as he relaxed himself, standing straight, he moved his shield to his side while the butt of his spear landed on the sand.

Claudia nodded as she sheathed her sword, Alicia and the rest did so as well. Suddenly, Adonis looked to the side. "Speartons!" Her eyes widened as she grabbed the hilt of her sword. "By everything that is holy, give them your capes! Cover their bodies!" He ordered as he walked towards the nearest Spearton and grabbed the offered cape, he then quickly walked towards Claudia and covered her with it. She was dumbfounded as the Speartons did the same. Alicia huffed as she crossed her arms as she rejected the cape offered to her by a Spearton.

"I have nothing to be ashamed of! This armor was enchanted by the goddess herself! I dare not cover it!" Alicia argued as the Spearton left while Adonis took the cape and looks at Alicia with his red eyes. Immediately, Alicia felt herself go small as Adonis looks down at her, literally. She is smaller than Adonis, her head only reaches to his chin.

"Please cover yourself with this, there will be many among my people who will be distracted…that and children will probably be curious as to why you are dressed like that, and I rather have them keep their innocence intact." Adonis maintained eye contact with Alicia as her eyes softened, only to harden once again as she grabbed the cape. "Fine! But I'm only doing this for the children! Hmph!" Adonis only chuckled as he led the group towards the camp. "Come! The Merics will prepare food for us." Claudia nodded as she followed Adonis. Alicia and the rest of the Dawn Templars followed behind her.

"Wow! Look at them!"

Alicia and the rest of the Dawn Templars' eyes widened as they saw Giants carrying a large net that has many kinds of fish trapped in it. Claudia can only feel sweat pouring from her palm. 'If we fought them earlier, then we would be done for.' She thought to herself as she continued walking.

"Now, now children stand in a line, youngest first!" A gentle voice called out as Alicia watches a beautiful blond haired woman giving treats to children who are cheering for her. "There's plenty for everybody, so no fighting."

"Alright lads! Back to training!" An eye patched man roared as the Swordwraths took wooden swords and began sparring. "Jump higher!" A man with orange hair roared as a couple of Swordwraths jumped on a shield of a Spearton. "Keep your balance!" The Spearton grunted as his legs almost gave out on him.

"Don't let yourself be crushed!"

Adonis chuckled as he turned his head. "Those two are Diamatrus and Tarnas, as you can see they are quite eager with training." Claudia nodded, taking note of the fact that their training is quite bizarre to say the least. "Why are your men jumping on that soldier?" Alicia asked cautious as she watched the Swordwraths jumped off the Spearton, landing behind the Spearton with a roll. "That's a secret." He grinned as Alicia gaped with wide eyes. She grits her teeth as she clenches her hands, making it look like she was choking the cape. Seeing this, Claudia can only sigh at her student's actions. 'Until now, Alicia still has her temper, I hope she can still hold it.' Claudia thought to herself as Adonis turned around with a calm smile.

In front of them is a large tent, the entrance is guarded by two Speartons, their height and intimidating gazes made some of the Dawn Templars shiver. Something that Adonis took note of. He looks at Claudia and behind her are the Dawn Templars eyeing the Speartons carefully.

He sighed as he closed his eyes. 'Might as well have one of them accompany Lady Claudia. I don't want any trouble with them.' He thought as he opened his red eyes.

"Lady Claudia." Standing at attention, Claudia turned her eyes towards him. "You can have someone accompany you in my tent, if it makes you feel more at ease." At this, Alicia took this chance, taking a step forward, she took Adonis's attention "I'll go with Lady Claudia." Adonis nodded while Claudia eyed Alicia with worry written in her eyes.

Shifting his eyes towards the Dawn Templars he smiled as he crosses his arms. "The rest of you are free to look around, just don't enter that tent over there." He pointed towards a large tent where a couple of Minions went in and out of said tent. "Now come Lady Claudia and…" He stopped as he eyed Alicia. She huffed as she put her hands on her hips. "Alicia Arcturus." Adonis nodded as he smiled in appreciation. "Lady Alicia." Alicia turned her head to the side with a small blush on her face as she followed Claudia. The two Speartons tensed as they narrowed their eyes towards Claudia and Alicia, however Adonis held a hand. "Hold! Let them keep their weapons." At this everyone stared at Adonis in shock. "B-But your majesty!" Adonis held a finger, motioning for the Spearton to stay quiet. "I'll be fine." He stated as he smiled, moving inside the tent, he motioned for the two to enter.

Adonis's tent

The entrance of Adonis's tent flapped as the three of them entered. Looking around the room, Adonis motioned for the two to sit. Claudia nodded in thanks as she sat on the chair while Alicia sat beside her. Adonis placed his helmet on his armor stand with a sigh, putting both his shield and his spear down near the stand, he began moving towards the table that has a jar of water and several cups of glass. Taking three glasses and a jar of water, he poured water to the three glasses and placed two in front of the two knights.

Taking a seat, Adonis took his glass and took a small sip. Sighing in satisfaction, he noticed that the both of the women in front of him are tense, and it seems that Claudia is tenser than Alicia. Looking at Claudia, he can see that she is cautious as Alicia stares at him rather intensely.

"You know its quite rude to keep staring, Lady Alicia." Alicia's eyes widened as she blushed in embarrassment. "No need to be tense Lady Claudia, I am no threat to you." He said raising his hands, Claudia sighed as she relaxed her body. Taking the glass of water with caution, she eyed Adonis warily. "It's not poisoned." Adonis stated it as if reading her mind. She nodded as she drank the water, allowing the water to freshen her throat. "My thanks, your ma-" She was cut off as Adonis shook his head while shaking his hand, as if saying no.

"No honorifics please, I don't like doing it unless if its necessary." Adonis said as he straightened his back. Raising a brow, Alicia leaned on the table. "Then why not call us by our names?" Chuckling, Adonis scratched his head bashfully. "Well I don't want to offend you, I guess its just me saying that I respect you as women."

'Is he serious? He does not demand respect? And yet he respects others with no regards for himself.' Claudia thought as she nodded, opting Adonis to smile cheerfully. "If we will call you by your name, then it is only fair that you do the same." Adonis stopped smiling and looks at Claudia with a confused look. "But I'd rather earn your respect first." Raising a brow, Claudia smiled as she looks at Adonis. "You already have, the moment when you spared us was the moment when you earned my respect, and I believe Alicia feels the same. Don't you?" She asked the young knight as Alicia nodded quickly. "O-Of course! I only respect a gentleman!" She stopped, blushing as she realized what she said.

Giving an appreciative smile at Alicia, Adonis allowed himself to relax a lot more. "So you think that I am a gentleman? Thank you." Alicia only nodded as she took the glass of water and drank it quietly. 'I can't believe I said that! In front of him! Now he knows what kind of man I like!' Alicia thought bitterly as she stealthily glared at the king.

"Now that that is all over, time to get to business." The moment Adonis said that, the atmosphere turned serious as Adonis eyed the two. "Why are you here?" Claudia's eyes narrowed as she eyed Adonis's red eyes. Alicia began to sweat as she looks at her teacher and at the king. "What did your goddess send you here for?" Claudia sighed as she closed her eyes. "What you said to me earlier, I felt as if you were not telling me everything, now tell me. Why are you here?" Opening her eyes, Claudia looks at Adonis. "We are sent here to investigate this island, why it appeared here so suddenly, and if what the people said about pirates inhabiting this island is true." Adonis's eyes narrowed, at this Claudia felt cold, as if danger was lurking around the her.

Sighing, Adonis closed his eyes as he allowed himself to relax. "Thank you for telling me the truth." Claudia's eyes widened as she stared at Adonis in shock. "T-That's all? You trust what I said just like that?" Adonis simply shrugged as he smiled. "What else is there to see in this island?"

"He has a point." Alicia agreed reluctantly as she drank the rest of her water. Adonis nodded as he looked around the room, confusing the two. "Kurome! Akame! You can come out now!" Suddenly both sisters literally came out of the shadows, the both of them with their weapons sheathed. Kurome looks at her brother with a deadpan expression. "How did you know?" She asked as she reached for her candy pouch. Adonis chuckled as he ruffles Kurome's hair, making said girl pout cutely. "If I don't know where my sisters are, then what kind of brother am I?" He grinned as Akame looks at him with her red eyes.

As if knowing what Akame wanted, he began to pet her head, making her close her eyes in satisfaction.

Looking at the dumbfounded knights, Adonis chuckled as he scratched his cheek. "Claudia, Alicia, meet my sisters Akame and Kurome. The two Princesses of the Order Empire." He announced as he hugged both girls, making the both of them smile as they hugged him back.

"Now I've got a couple more questions Claudia." Standing up, Claudia nodded, her face now calm. "Where are we? Obviously from what I saw when I awoke, my people and I are in a different place." Claudia nodded as she motioned for Adonis and the two princesses to take a seat. "You are now in Eostia. A land ruled by the Seven Shield Alliance, our leader is the goddess."

"Who is this goddess? And how is she like?"

"She is a High Elf whose name is Celestine Lucross, the reincarnated goddess is kind hearted, she is the embodiment of peace. A hope against our enemy." Raising a brow, Adonis leaned on the table in interest. "It seems that conflict never ceases to show up. Who is your enemy?" Claudia clenched her fists as she looks at Adonis straight in the eyes. "Her name is Olga Discordia a dark elf, she is also known as the Dark Queen of the north. She controls an army of monsters, pillaging every village, killing the men and children…" The three siblings' eyes widened, while Adonis clenches his teeth in anger. 'Children?!'

"…They take the women and…" Claudia hesitates, as if saying it brings back painful memories. It took him a while, but when he did, his eyes widened as he realized what Claudia is trying to say.

"No need to say it, I…figured it out…disgusting…" Adonis muttered in disdain as his face shifts into a scowl. "Wherever I go…" Adonis growled as his eyes narrowed, remembering the corrupt nobles keeping female Eclipsers as sex slaves. "It never ceased…damn it." He cursed as Akame squeezed his shoulder reassuringly.

"Also, what are elves?"

Claudia remained still, her mind searching for simple answers. Nodding to herself, she looks at Adonis. "Elves are beings that are like humans, except that they have long pointy ears. They live longer than humans. There are three types of elves. The High Elves are elves born inside cities and towns. They are born with high affinity to magic, this is due to the magic that protects the towns, it will enter their bodies the moment their mothers are conceived with them. The Forest Elves are elves that are masters of the great forests. Their ability to manipulate nature to their will has helped them protect their forests for many years. Then there are the Dark Elves, unlike the other two, Dark Elves are born within the darkness. Some say that they have stayed in the north due to the abundance of Dark Magic in the air." Claudia finished as she closed her eyes, trying to remember what her husband, Klaus, would say. 'There is one, but its only a theory.' She thought as she opened her eyes. Adonis stared blankly at the floor. He took a deep breath as he processed the information.

"Lastly…Claudia…"

"Yes?"

"Is it possible for my people to live within Eostia? My people need a new home, and a small island won't shelter all of them. This is all I ask, my people need a home, please." Adonis bowed, surprising all occupants in the room. "Adonis! You don't need to kneel!" Akame held onto her brother's shoulder, attempting to lift him up. Kurome stepped in and bonked her brother's head lightly. "Idiot, a king should not kneel." Kurome scolded him while looking at him with deadpan eyes. But if one observed her closely, her face shows worry for her brother. Claudia observed the interaction in interest.

'To think that he, a king, would throw away his pride just for his people. I don't think she will mind, but just in case.' She thought as she kneeled, giving him a smile, she took his shoulders and pulled him back up.

"There is no need for you to kneel, you mustn't show weakness, even if you are in front of your family. A king should always be strong. Even in the direst of times." Adonis's eyes widened as he remembered one of Kaldir's teachings.

"The king is the face of the Order Empire, strong and capable, but must also be kind and know compassion. Show weakness, then your enemies will crush you. But show strength, then they will fear you."

He recited those words, remembering everything Kaldir taught him. His sisters' eyes widened as they realized what Adonis said, after all, they have been taught by the same Magikill. A few stray tears left Akame's eyes as she held onto Adonis's hand.

Seeing this, Claudia made herself to stay silent. Alicia followed after her teacher, remaining silent as she waited for the siblings to finish.

After a while, Claudia spoke up.

"Whoever taught you that is a wise man." Adonis nodded as he stood straight. "Yes, until now, his teachings…everything he taught me is still teaching me."

Claudia looked at the king and nodded to herself. 'This man…its obvious that he cares or his people…just like my liege…' She smiled as she cleared her throat.

"You kneeled before me, even when you have a higher position. You respected us when you didn't need to. I think allowing your people to live with us is no problem, I just need to tell Lady Celestine. I do not think that you should worry, in fact she will appreciate your kindness to your people." The moment Claudia finished, Adonis felt small tears stinging his eyes. "Thank you! I cannot thank you enough for this. I thought that it might take me weeks or months or years to find a new home for my people, but it seems that I am wrong." Adonis smiled brightly as he gave Claudia his genuine thanks.

"As thanks, we will hold a feast!" Immediately, both Akame and Kurome's eyes widened as they began to drool. "Akame, tell everyone of the feast. We will hold it here!" Claudia felt sweat pour from her body as she watched the princess nod excitingly and left the tent with a quick dash. "You don't nee-" Alicia was about to say until Kurome swiftly silenced her with a finger.

Glaring at the knight with her cute eyes, Kurome silently hissed. "Do not, you will feast with us." She said it as if she was threatening her, something that made her scared. "Or we will not feast at all." She finished as she left the tent. An excited look plastered on her face as she crunched on her candies.

Seeing Alicia silent, Claudia can only sigh as she nodded to herself. "Then we will accept, but can I send a message to the others? There are others that have traveled with me and are still on the ships." Adonis nodded with a smile as he faced her. "Of course! The more the merrier!"

Claudia nodded with a smile as she left the tent.

Night time

As soon as the rest of the knight that traveled with Claudia arrived, everyone partied. Barrels of ale were opened and different foods that are exotic to the outsiders of Inamorta.

Alicia watched as all the knights that traveled with them wore clothes instead of their armor. Why? Well when Adonis saw the rest of the knights' armor, he had the Merics and the women give them spare clothes.

Looking at herself, she was wearing a black dress that reaches to her knees, her back is shown, revealing her pearly white skin. The frills on the dress were quite annoying to her, but this was given to her by the princess. She would feel disrespectful. Feeling the material with her hands, Alicia smiled as she nodded. "Princess Akame has good tastes."

"Enjoying yourself?" She looks up and saw her teacher, Claudia Levantine wearing a strapless white dress that showed a generous amount of her cleavage. It reaches to her legs, while a long cut showed off her long legs. Alicia giggled as she stood up.

"Quite surprisingly, yes…and now that I look at you…if Klaus is here he might as well marry you again." Her compliments made Claudia blush red as she looks to the side. "Thank you, Alicia. I appreciate it." Claudia smiled gently as Alicia began to laugh softly.

"Enjoying yourselves?" Adonis's voice greeted them, causing them to look at him. He wore a gold tunic where a small part of his chest. The green collar complimented the colors as it occupied the end of the sleeves. A leather belt engraved with symbols held the tunic together. He wore leather sandals strapped to his legs, almost reaching his knees.

He smiled as a servant carrying a tray filled with glasses of wine walked by and offered the three a glass. Claudia gave a pleasant smile as she took a small sip. Feeling the pleasant burn running down her throat, she turned her attention to Adonis. "Yes I am. But I must ask you Adonis, whose dress was this?" Adonis's smile turned melancholy as he looks at Claudia. "That dress is my mother's." Both Claudia and Alicia's eyes widened in surprise. "Then!" Both looked at him in worry, with Claudia recognizing the look Adonis gave. However, he waved his hand with a pleasant smile.

"Then nothing! You are our guests, it is only right that we treat you this way. Besides, my sisters' dresses won't fit you that's for sure." He joked as he held a chuckle. "My sisters and I have already moved on many years ago. The past is the past." Claudia only offered a sincere smile as Alicia drank her wine. "It may be so, but Alicia and I will still offer our sincere condolences, it is the least we can do. Especially now that I am wearing your mother's dress."

Adonis smile in appreciation as he motioned for the two to follow him.

All around them, everyone was partying. Men, women, children, Giants, Eclipsers, and Minions alike. Although the Giants are taking it easy so that no trouble will happen. "Come, I want to introduce you." He ushered them patiently as he led them to a large table where, to both Claudia and Alicia's shock, Akame and Kurome are eating away at a mountain of food. Adonis chuckled as he saw Akame and Kurome eating slowly the moment they saw him.

To their left was the Eclipser that gave Claudia the warning shot, she is now dressed in an elegant red dress that reaches to her knees. The dress is designed with shining diamond shapes, each colored dark yellow, a long white scarf covered her exposed back. Her hair is tied into a bun as she wore a light red tint of lipstick on her lips. She wore black sandals with thin heels.

Adonis held his blush as he kept himself from staring at El.

Then right beside El was Myr, who was chatting with El, while El responded with a few words of her own. 'She's probably talking about this island.' Adonis thought with a small shake of his head.

Myr wore a simple strapless green dress with a few frills to the sides, her hair is neatly braided as she allowed her hair to stay on her right shoulder. She wore no make-up, allowing everyone to see her cute face. She green sandals with no heels, the sandals are also decorated with dark green ribbons.

Alicia's eyes widened as she saw the same woman with that took care of the children. She wore a blue one strapped dress that hugs her impressive curves quite well. Her pleasant smile radiated amongst the crowd that it seems as if she is covered by light. She wore a golden necklace with a sapphire shining in the night. For her footwear, she wore a pair of strapped light blue sandals, each supported with a short heel. Her blond hair flowed freely amongst the cool winds.

'Beautiful.' Alicia thought as she compared herself to the Meric.

Claudia eyed the Giant next to the five ladies on the table. This is the same Giant that Claudia saw talk to Adonis when they encountered him earlier. He wore the same clothes as earlier, all the while drinking ale straight from a barrel.

Adonis chuckled as he watched the Giant wave at him. "Oi Adonis! Where you've been? I started without you!" Adonis gave a wide smile as he approached the Giant first. "Sorry Jack, but I had to lead Alicia and Claudia here, they are after all our guests." He replied politely as Jack held out a fist for Adonis. He returned the gesture with a grin.

Looking at the two women behind Adonis, Jack gave a polite smile towards the two. "The name's Jack! Jack Rockfist. Representative of the Giants!" Claudia smiled as she and Alicia did a curtsy.

"Claudia Levantine."

"Alicia Arcturus."

Natalia, Myr, and El stood up as they gave a curtsy to the two ladies.

"I am Natalie, representative of the Merics." Natalia spoke softly, but also clearly as she bows her head.

"M-Myr…representative of the Magikills." Myr stutters as she felt herself go red from embarrassment.

"My name is El, representative of the Eclipsers." El spoke courteously as she introduced herself.

Looking at Akame and Kurome, Adonis sighed as he approached the two and poked their foreheads. "Introduce yourselves, the both of you." He gave them a playful glare as he crosses his arms. Leaning his face forwards, both Akame and Kurome felt a pressure weighing on them.

Taking their hands, he pulled them up and nodded in satisfaction as he turned to the two guests. Akame wore a black dress that showed a decent amount of her cleavage. A red ribbon was tied to the right side of her waist. Kurome wore a black dress with purple highlights to the skirt, she also has a ribbon tied to her left waist, but this one was black.

Closing her eyes in defeat, Akame bowed her head. "I am Akame, first princess of the Order Empire. I am also the representative of the Swordwraths." She returned to her seat and resumed eating while glaring cutely at her brother.

Kurome's blank look turned into one of annoyance as she glared at Adonis. He only chuckled as he waved towards her playfully, ignoring her glare.

She sighed as she turned to Claudia and Alicia. "Kurome, second princess, and representative of the Shadowraths. If you excuse me, I will go back to eating now." She returned to her seat and resumed stuffing her face alongside her sister.

Nodding in satisfaction, Adonis turned to Claudia and smiled. "I have yet to find someone to represent the Archidons. So, for now, there are Six Arms of the Order Empire." Raising a brow, Alicia turned her attention to Adonis. "Six? But you only introduced five." At that, Adonis grinned as he approached her. Looking at her in the eyes, Alicia can only blush as she felt his red eyes pierce through her.

"I am Adonis, 17th king of the Order Empire, also the representative of the Speartons." He finished with a bow, all the while keeping his playful grin. Jack laughed loudly as he held his head. The sound of his laughter echoed throughout the island, terrifying some knights while the rest just cheered, showing that they are having a good time.

"That doesn't fit you at all Adonis!" His reply was only laughter as he drank the barrel of ale. "You are definitely right! I'm still itching with these clothes!" Natalia and El giggled, knowing of his dislike for fancy clothing. "I don't even know how the nobles can keep on wearing these everyday." Adonis said as he fanned himself with the collar of his clothing. "Get used to it brother. You have to keep good impressions to the ones you meet." Adonis only sighed in dejection as Akame wore a triumphant smirk. Kurome did a small smile as she chewed on a piece of meat.

Claudia can only smile, she can see this not as a group, no…she can see that this is like a family. Family…lately her father-in-law have been going hard on her husband, Klaus, again. She can't understand that man, hating his own son.

Looking at the diamond ring on her left ring finger. She can only sigh as she caressed the ring with a soft smile.

Alicia saw this and only smiled. "Don't worry, I am sure Lord Klaus is fine." Claudia smiled as she looked at Alicia's eyes. "You're right, I just can't stop myself from worrying." Claudia gave a rare awkward smile as she looks at Adonis.

Adonis smiled as he went in front of the two and took their hands with a small blush on his cheeks. "Come, let's take a seat my ladies." Claudia nodded with a smile, while Alicia blushed as she felt Adonis's hand hold her own.

Leading them to the long table, Adonis pulled a chair and Claudia took the chair with gracious movement, as if she wasn't a knight earlier. Adonis then moved on to the next chair and Alicia smiled as she sat on the chair.

Adonis went to his chair and took his own glass of wine. Looking in front of him, he can see people, both from Inamorta and Eostia quieting down and staring at him. He smiled as looked both left and right.

"As Inamortans, we have always lived in our own land, but we have lost it." All Inamortans looked down in sadness. All was quiet for a few moments until Adonis spoke up. "But now, we all have a chance to start anew, Kaldir and several warriors sacrificed their lives in order to save the stranded. I have grieved for them…mourned for them. I am sad over this lost, and I still am. But I know that Kaldir and those warriors would not want me or any of you to grieve any longer." Everyone raised their heads as the mood improved.

"For us Inamortans who have lost our home, we need a new home! That is why we will start anew!" All Inamortans cheered while the Eostians kept to themselves, but enjoyed the lively atmosphere. "We will start here, in Star's Fall Island! Then I as your king, will do my best to give you a new home!" Everyone cheered as Adonis raised his glass into the air.

Claudia smiled as she can already tell that Celestine will instantly accept and allow the Inamortans to live on Eostia, especially with Adonis as the king.

Alicia can only stare at Adonis in awe as the others cheered. El clapped as she stares at Adonis longingly. Myr smiled brightly as she remained sitting. Natalia held her hands together in a silent prayer. While Jack raised two barrels of ale and cheered with the crowd.

"For a new day!"

AND CUT! Wooh! This is a long chapter! Thanks for the wait you guys! I enjoyed writing this chapter…probably because Adonis can finally meet two out of nine of the main girls of Kuroinu. Review me to tell me how I did. Also, if you guys noticed, I have a cover art for the story! The work is not mine, but of a good friend of mine at school. Look him up on Deviant Art, his name is DraxTerumi, give him some love, he's still making some art for me. Which I appreciate. Don't know if you guys will see it, maybe it might take a few hours before you can see it…I don't know, I don't own this site.

And to be honest, I wanted to continue, but then I thought it was best to leave it here and continue where we left off in the next chapter…

But anyways! Thanks for reading, and I'll see you guys again in the next chapter!

Ciao! Peace!
