Chapter 15

"You're a shrewd man, Lord Redgrave." I said to the old gentleman in front of me, Angelica's father.

It's been a week since my expulsion from the academy. Fortunately, I'm allowed to keep my land but there would most likely be increased tax on it.

Then Lord Redgrave sent out a missive, an invitation to his home.

The Lord outrank me so I had to comply for now. It took us only a day of travel before arriving here.

It was a trap.

I found myself drinking tea with an old man who had a plan. A plan I don't like.

"Hoh? What makes you think of that?" He replied. His eyes are twinkling in mirth and mischief as he sip his tea.

He's playing with me.

"You want me to tie myself to your family by marriage in order to use the Unicorn for your rebellion."

I don't like playing games and stop blushing, Angelica.

His daughter, Angelica, is right behind him. Standing proud but with a massive blush on her face. The blonde woman didn't even try to look at me straight.

It might be because Chloe is gnashing her teeth behind me. Is she trying to intimidate Vince?

"Angelica was right, you really don't like playing around." Vince sighed before his eyes became sharper.

Mika recognized that look. A look his comrades on the Whitebase had.

"I would be frank to you boy. The duel was a huge scandal to the kingdom." Vince said.

"Due to the circumstances of the duel, many of the feudal nobles saw that the crown prince was not fit to rule."

"And with how the current king is, they want a civil war to put a new king on the throne instead of the new puppet king." I finished for him to which he nodded.

It was simple math and deduction.

The king, Roland, is a huge piece of trash. Meeting him was a displeasure itself and I was glad to never see the man. His reputation and irresponsible handling of the kingdom is the only thing people remember him by even with his grandstanding displays in any events.

My knighthood ceremony was just an example to it.

What's worse is that he let Mylene do all the work in keeping the kingdom afloat.

But Mylene came from Repard, a nearby kingdom.

Holfort nobles won't allow an outsider to sit the throne. Even though Mylene is the Queen, she is a risk to Holfort in general by ruling it in Roland's place.

How much leeway did Mylene give to her homeland? Is Holfort in danger in the far future?

The feudal nobles cannot risk it. A civil war is a must to secure the kingdom.

With how much of a disappointment Roland and Julius are, the feudal lord's are now gearing up for a civil war to put a new king.

"For someone who hates politics, you're well versed on this." Vince commented on me.

"I hate politics but it's vital in preparations for battles. It's no use in winning a fight that would make you lose the entire war." I replied back.

Zeon taught me that lesson. Even with the war, the atrocities and the political deceit they had employed would never win the war.

"So what's the matter? My daughter thinks highly of you and respects you. She is also very beautiful."

With each word, Angelica became smaller and smaller. An embarrassed look on her face as she tried to avoid looking at me.

Meanwhile, Chloe gripped on my shoulder tightly. If I was a normal human, that shoulder would be dust by now.

I don't know about Olga, she's been quiet since we began our discussion.

"Yes, your daughter is beautiful, my lord." I said. "But it doesn't explain why you're forcing us for marriage and don't try saying it's for the Unicorn."

There is still more on this.

If Vince wanted my help in their civil war, he would offer me protection by enlisting me under his house name.

Marriage is non-negotiable due to Angelica outranking me as I'm a feudal Baron while she's a Royal noble.

Something's not right.

Vince sighed at my suspicious words.

"There are two factions in Holfort, the Royalist and the Separatists." He began.

"The Separatists wanted a new royal regime to rise and cull the weak rulers of our kingdom."

"Meanwhile, there are the Royalists. A bunch of bloodsucking nobles who are using Roland's rule as a means to fatten their pockets and live a life of luxury while the feudal lord's suffer."

"You are right boy, we don't want another puppet king on the throne and we want change."

"But those bastards won't let us. As punishment, Angelica will be executed for her crimes in going against their new puppet."

"So I beg you, please take my daughter as your wife and save her."

My eyes widened in surprise as Lord Vince Rapha Redgrave himself kneeled and bowed unto the floor, begging.

This… is bad.

To think the corruption in the kingdom was this worse.

I look at Angelica's downtrodden expression.

By marrying a man below her station, Angelica would forever be shamed in their society. A fitting punishment for those controlling the strings.

I looked at Chloe and Olga.

We need to decide this together.

I managed to excuse ourselves to think about Vince's offer and request.

"You should marry her." I looked at Chloe in surprise.

"What?! Do you think I would let her die so those pigs can get the last laugh, I don't think so." She huffed.

"But…the plan. We can't delay here." I reminded them.

"Oh hush you boy, we are immortals. We are elves and your you." Olga pointed out. "Time is not a problem for us. Even if we have to wait 100 years to get our revenge on Eostia, we will do it."

"And with my lack of progress on reconstructing the spell on the relics, the delay would give me time to fix it."

Olga's work on the relics had still had no progress after we raided the school library. Something she had seethed on the way back on the island, muttering how useless the academy was.

"Wait a minute! Will the church join the war if civil war erupts?" Chloe exclaimed.

"I need to talk to Vince." I replied.

How could I miss that?

"Yes, the church would certainly join the fight. That Lafan girl was just announced to be the new saintess and being the crown Prince's new fiancee, the church would fight tooth and nail against us. That's why I asked for your help."

I didn't bother listening to the rest as soon as Vince said that the Church would fight.

"Why are you three smiling like that?" Angelica said for the first time in worry.

We can't help it.

The church just gave us the way to ransack them with no persecution.

"Nothing, I just like it when things come together." I replied to her.

I then looked at her father and said my decision.

"I would marry your daughter and save her from a cruel fate." His eyes brighten in surprise and joy at my decision.

Too bad for him, I would milk him dry for this for playing me like a fiddle.

"But I had conditions."

"You may now kiss the Bride."

Olivia immediately jumped Leon, attacking the man's poor lips.

First condition, I want you to adopt Olivia into your family.

Angelica giddily clapped for the happy couple with Chloe.

The two are the bridesmaids while I'm one of the groomsmen.

It was part of the plan. With Leon and Olivia married, Leon could now get out of the academy and shore up on his island for the upcoming war.

The man profusely thanked me at the news of marrying Olivia albeit it was Olivia who proposed to him.

Chloe's influence on her is very strong.

Leon's island which he will convert as a resort/amusement park is also part of a massive scheme.

To sink our claws on the Royalists' money.

As the only one monopolizing an amusement park, Leon would be swimming in Dia.

Dia that would fund the war efforts.

Second condition, production of armors and ships is solely on me. I'll take care of it.

Due to the lack of credits, I needed raw materials to rebuild and create a strong army for the war.

That means I needed a lot of Dia.

Leon and the other Feudal lord's had it covered as they now regularly sent me Dia or materials to work with.

Why am I doing this? To learn how to make an effective army.

The GM legion was wiped out at the pirate subjugation and showed how weak they are. They are also cost ineffective.

By doing this, I would learn how to effectively create a much more cost effective army and build one myself in the future.

I also want to introduce space travel to this world due to how primitive it was even with magic and technology.

"Third and final condition, our actions in the future are at our own volition and no one must interfere."

"Hmmm, why is that?" Vince rubbed his beard in contemplation.

Mika's third condition is quite curious.

"In the future, we are gonna do horrible things to our enemies. Things that you won't like." Mika warned him. His eyes glinted dangerously, making the Redgrave patriarch worry.

He decided to ignore it in order to secure a very strong ally. With both Leon and Mika under his house, two of the strongest players on the board in this era, victory in the upcoming war is foreseeable.

"I agree with these conditions." Vince said, offering his hand to finalize the deal.

But Mika stopped him first.

"I would like to speak to Angelica in private before we finalize this."

"It will be done."

Angelica's POV

Mika does know how to keep surprising me.

Seeing my father's ruse, the coalition of feudal nobles and taking charge of the conversation was remarkable.

He says he dislikes playing the game and yet he is very fluent in it.

"Do you want to do this, Angelica?" I was taken out of my thoughts at his first question.

The two of us are alone in the room. Tea was served by Cordelia to calm my nerves.

I'm nervous, angry and afraid at the same time.

How I can't be. Death or dishonor, that's the only choice I had after my actions that I must pay. Queen Mylene had already abandoned me to the wolves after Julius proclaimed Marie as the new Saintess. Adding the church's power to the throne is much more favorable than keeping the house Redgrave.

With no support to the crown, the vultures in the capital immediately took action to attack her father's reputation through me.

Death or dishonor, two choices. King Roland the Fool was even happy to give the verdict after father tried to appeal to him. The Fool is more happy to take us down a peg than help the family that put his family on the throne.

"Ye-Yes." I cursed silently in failing to hide my fear.

Don't look at me with pity, Mika. You said it before, I'm a strong woman so I must stand strong.

"Tell me the truth, what do you want?" He asked sincerely. I could tell it was because Mika never asks such questions other than necessary.

I broke down in front of him. I don't know why but seeing him, one of the honest friends I had left, tears that I had been holding back began pouring down my face.

"I *hic*just to want to live. I want an adventure just like you and Leon. *Hic* I just want to be happy! Is that too much for me to ask?"

Words came out my mouth like flood, voicing out the things I hid close to my chest.

I still have ambitions of my own too. Adventuring is just one of them. Hearing Leon's tales made me jealous of his position.

Free to do what he wants and pursue his desire.

Then there's me, caged in the responsibilities of my position.

But it was all wasted. Wasted to a man, who didn't even care for her. She didn't hate Julius even with her carelessness but damn it, it hurts.

It hurts so much.

"Hush, let it out." I felt myself being pulled in Mika's embrace, hugging and comforting me.

I stifled a laugh, he clearly learned it from Olga. There is no way he knew how to comfort a woman. But I had to give it to him for his efforts.

So I cried lots on his shoulder, staining his purple suit. Throughout the entire time, he only pulled me close and rubbed my back in comfort. He remained quiet, letting me cry it all out.

"Done?"He asked after my sobs went down. I nodded to him and noticed how close we are.

He had sat beside me on the couch in order to calm me down. But what's alarming is how I found myself sitting on his lap. I had to climb on him while bawling out.

My face turned red at the thought.

"Here, let's dry those tears of yours." Producing a handkerchief, he started wiping my face and eyes of my tears.

He really took notes of Olga's teachings with how gentle he is.

"I would be honest with you, Angelica. Marrying you is not part of our plans in Holfort." He began with a sigh. "But with the current situation of the kingdom and our conflicting agenda, we had to change some aspects of it."

I looked down in shame. Of course, Mika had a prior agenda before coming to Holfort. He is still a foreigner after all.

"So if I'm going to marry you, then you need to know who you are marrying with."

I looked up at him in surprise.

What?!

"Let me tell you a story about a boy who made a deal to the devil for revenge."

And so he told me everything. From his childhood until the fateful day of their demise. I almost puked as he told me in detail what happened that day.

The betrayal and actions of such people was disgusting.

How could humans be so cruel?

At first I thought Mika was just telling me a tall tale, but I reminded myself that this is Mika.

A man worse than Leon in lying.

Then he began his tale of arriving in a new world in the middle of a war. I was in awe as he told me of his time in the Whitebase, the original ship his current ship is based on. His battles and experience, he shared it all with me.

Until at the end, where he found Olga and Chloe.

It's a surprise for me to know that Olga had waged war against humanity alone but her decision to use monsters against humanity is cruel. I'm glad that Mika killed all of her monsters.

He then revealed his alliance to her, an alliance built in cooperation for one thing only.

Revenge

To avenge his family, to take down those who did it and free Olga's people from slavery.

They will do it even with the threat of an actual God coming down to smite them.

All for revenge.

"So, I ask you. Would you still marry this man?"

My answer is already decided.

"Yes. I will marry you." I said to him as I held his hands.

I might not love this man but I can learn how to. Why did I accept? Because Mika needed someone to hold them back from going too far.

Their drive for revenge is admirable but with the way they are going now, I fear they would take on a much darker path that Olga had begun.

They planned to storm the church in the middle of the war to steal the Saintess' staff! Who does that? This man does.

I can't let him do that. I can't let the only man who is honest to me make himself a monster.

So I had to save them from themselves.

"So that's your final decision? Even after everything I told you about me?"

"Yes. Did I disappoint you?" I asked him, a smile blooming in my face as he sighed in defeat.

"No, it just proved how stubborn and a hot-headed person you are."

"We aren't married yet and you're talking to me like that? Should I be worried about our marriage?" I pouted hoping to tease him.

Instead, he retaliated with full force.

"Eeep!" I yelped in surprise as he pulled me close to his chest, forcing me to look up to him.

"Yes. Because once we are married, you'll be stuck with me forever." Mika whispered to my ear, sending shivers down my spine through his action and words.

"I would like that." I smiled at him and hugged him close, putting my face at the crook of his neck. He hugged me back, making me smile even more.

"I promise you this, once this is all over, I'm letting you go on an adventure of your own." He suddenly said,

I should be happy he said that but I retorted back at him a big fat no.

"No need. Being married to you and joining your group is adventure enough." I replied to him.

After that, it was all silence as we basked in each other's embrace.

Meanwhile, behind the door.

Chloe broke the door frame as she watched the touching scene. She is happy that Angelica won't get killed but damn it, she was the first girl and she had to stake her claim.

Behind her, Olga can only shake her head.

Chapter End

Cannon Omake:

"Uhm… Leon? How do I look?"

HOLY SHIT, CHLOE YOU BITCH! I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING I SAID BEHIND YOU.

I screamed internally as Olivia stood in front of me while wearing one of the most erotic outfits in the hentai community.

Olga's outfit in Kuroinu.

It was a custom maid version as it was colored white for a reason. The corset is barely holding her huge breast, I was certain one move would spill them bare for me to see. Then there is the white thong. It was transparent and lacy. Narrowing my eyes, I can see her pink labia behind the lace.

"Aah! It's too embarrassing! Why did Chloe give me this for our first night?" She yelled in embarrassment while covering herself up with her arms.

It just only added erotic points for her.

Tonight is our first night as husband and wife and we are about to consummate it.

Marrying the protagonist of the story was not part of the plan but the plot being fucked in all three holes and left for granted, screw it we ball.

I loved Olivia and goddamn I'm proud to say it before Chloe kicks me again. She is just too lovable and innocent. I want to protect her and make her my wife.

Mika is a total bro for giving me this opportunity. Due to Olivia's status as a commoner, she would only be a concubine for me if we married.

That's a big no-no for us.

But Mika came in clutch with Angelica with the Redgrave's adopting Olivia and making her eligible to marry me with no problems.

We immediately dropped the academy as it was no longer needed and with the hidden threats in order to get married immediately and start a life together.

But now, I had a woman to breed.

"Eek!" Olivia yelped as I hugged her from behind. Her face went red as she felt my hardened cock sandwiched between her buns.

I'm already naked the moment she stepped out in that outfit.

"I'm going to ravish you tonight, Livia." I whispered to her, turning her face for a kiss.

"Mmmmm~" She moaned in my mouth with eyes closed.

It soon widened in surprise as I pulled her front down, freeing her twins. She then felt one of my hands sneaking in her thong to play with her pussy.

"Mwah~ Leon, Mmmh~" She moaned as she squirmed in my grasp.

Our room was soon filled with her lustful moans as I played her body like a maestro.

My fingers danced over nipples. Pinching and rolling them in my thumb as they went erect. Her soft breasts are like dough in my hands as I molded them before bouncing back in shape. Her vagina became wet as I teased her lower lips.

"Leon!" She screamed as she came, drenching her thong as she squirted.

Curiously, I brought my wet hand to my mouth to taste it.

I dare you to fight me in this.

It was sweet!

"Mou! Leon!" Olivia started to pound on my chest when she saw what I did with a red face.

"Hahaha." I can't help but laugh at her embarrassment. Of course she would.

Then she suddenly stopped. I looked at her as she finally noticed my erect cock facing her.

"Uhm-do you want me to take care of that?" She asked shyly.

So cute.

"Ye-yes!" Get a grip on yourself, Leon. Your finally getting your first blowjob so don't fuck it up.

Kneeling in front of me, Olivia grasped my erect penis carefully. I sighed in pleasure as her soft hands glided over my cock and started pumping.

I didn't bother how she knew how to do this because the answer is obvious.

"Do you like this, Leon?" She asked, looking up at me with hopeful eyes.

"Yes." I replied breathily.

She smiled before going back on her task. I was in pure heaven as she went to town pumping my cock with her soft hands. Her bouncing breast is also a sight to see as it moves it with every move she takes.

That's when she decided to take me in her mouth.

"Aaaaah, fuck~" I moaned in pure ecstasy as Olivia swallowed my entire length. Her wet mouth is what I imagined a pussy felt like. Its wet walls are giving me tingling sensations across my cock as she started sucking on my dick.

"Fuck, Olivia!" The pleasure had become too much for me. Grabbing her head, I started fucking her head like toy.

"Omph! Gluk! Gluk!" Olivia took it like a champ as she continued on sucking on my dick as I choked her with my cock.

"Take it all in, Livia!" I screamed as came inside of her.

Her eyes widened in shock as hot semen spilled inside of her mouth. Her cheeks bulged at the volume before I saw her start swallowing my cum.

It was the most erotic sight I've ever seen in my life.

"You came so much, Leon." Olivia said while licking her lips of any spilled cum.

That was the final straw for me.

"Eeep!" She yelped as I pulled her up and lifted her in a stand and carry position.

"Leon!" She wrapped her arms around my neck while her legs around my waist.

I grabbed her wet thong and pulled them aside to poke my head into her pussy. Olivia gasped in surprise at the touch. She looked at me lovingly and nodded.

Slowly, I lowered her down on my cock.

"Hnnnn!" She winced in pain as I slowly entered her. I felt something wet drip down on my cock and it's not her semen.

Hilting myself deep in her, we both stayed in our position as I let her recuperate. It was pure torture as I felt pleasure beyond imagination inside of her.

"You can move now." After a minute or so, Olivia finally gave me a go.

I then started moving at a slow pace to get a rhythm going. Then slowly it turned into an intense pace as I couldn't bear how it felt so good inside of her.

"Ah! Ah! Leon, not so rough!" Olivia screamed in pleasure as I bounced her on my dick like a toy. Her breasts are bouncing all over the place, hypnotizing me to go on further.

Her screams turned into erotic moans as her eyes rolled behind her head as she came under the intense fucking.

I soon followed her, cumming inside of her womb as her pussy tightened around me.

But I'm not done yet.

Carrying her towards the bed, I put her down and started fucking her in mating press position.

"Leon! Ah! Harder! Hmmmp" Olivia moaned under me before I silenced her with a kiss.

Her legs wrapped around me, pulling me in as I bred her. My semen covered cock slid in and out of her at an intense pace as I tried my best to breed this beautiful creature under me.

"Leon!" Once again, Olivia screamed as her back arches upwards as she came again.

I continued to pummel her insides with my dick as she cum, tunneling through the tightness of her pussy as it constricted my cock under her orgasm.

"Fuck!" I came inside of her for the last time.

I'm spent.

I laid on top of her exhausted. Both of us are.

"That was intense." Olivia said between pants.

"Yeah." I replied.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Wanna go again?" She asked.

Our first night was filled with her moans and screams of ecstasy.

Omake end

Author's notes.

Decided to lengthen Mika's stay in Mobuseka due to some reasons.

One, saintess staff is still missing for Olga's research. Once it is done, Olga would be capable of deicide.

Second, Mika needs a debut for her experiments. Holfort is the ideal testing grounds for it.

Third, After Holfort, our gang needs to test everything they have in order to fight a god.

After Holfort, they're gonna fight legions of Gods in another world, care to Guess?

Also did some research and damn, the Holfort military is shit.

They got magic but no beam weapons. Substitute is magic which is countered by magic resistance of the armor's. (Armors needed to be magic resistant in order to use magic without damaging it's internal structures by my theory.)

See you in the next update. I was late with this due to working on Scuffed Rumble. New opponent: Hagiwara Sakura (wanna be the strongest)
