Well, sorry it took me so long to post a new chapter, but I think I had some kind of creative block.
If this Fanfic becomes popular enough, I'll have Leon meet the older sisters of the capture targets from the third game. (Comment if you want)
Leon's POV
"Oh my god, that's terrible, who was she?"
Lindsey answered me as she got up from her chair and started to get dressed.
"That's Evelyn, she's one of the princesses who survived Alzer, just like me, you don't need to worry about her."
"No! I do have to worry about her! I was caught with a completely naked woman in a room with a double bed, that's really bad!"
"Relax! Why is that such a big problem, Leon?"
"I'll explain later, but right now I have to see Evelyn and clear everything up."
"Wait, Leon!" Lindsey said, extending her arm, but I had already left the room.
Later
"Okay, if I was a foreign princess with long blue hair and green eyes?"
I said as I walked through my hot springs hotel, the place was totally clean and well taken care of thanks to the robots but what I'm looking for is any sign of occupation so I can be sure where she is.
Until I found her Evelym was outside in the garden feeding the ducks in the small lake.
"Oh?! I'm glad I found you." I said approaching but she got scared and tried to hide behind a tree.
"Relax I won't hurt you, I'm Leon" I approached slowly and put my hand on her chest "Your name is Evelym right?"
She shyly came out from behind the tree and confirmed.
"Y-yes I'm Evelym, Evelym Laz Plevem thank you for everything you did for the people of Alzer."
When she bowed standing up forming a 90 degree angle I felt a little embarrassed.
"Do you know what you saw with me and Evelym..."
"Don't worry, Baron, I won't tell you anything about Lindsey."
The polite and respectful way she spoke to me touched me deeply. In this super toxic matriarchal world where women get drunk on power, this was the first time a girl I didn't know treated me decently.
"Nothing really happened. She and I were just talking."
"B-but she wasn't wearing any clothes."
"And I was fully dressed, by the way. Were you feeding the ducks?"
"Yes, I had a lake full of them in Alzer before..." She stopped and then made a sad expression.
It was obvious that she missed everything she had lost. I thought about saying "I'm sorry" but what would be the point? I wasn't there and my family is fine.
I doubt she would feel better with the compassion of a stranger, if someone said that to me I would probably get angry.
"Your name is very pretty Evelym I love the way it rhymes."
"Thank you." She said with a beautiful smile I think I gave the right answer.
"So~~ can I join you?" I asked in a childish tone
"Sure" She answered and handed me a bag with bread crumbs then we started feeding the ducks.
Here's an interesting fact did you know that the ducks in this world look different from my old one?
Seriously! They are blue, purple or orange and have antennas like an alien I wonder why they are like that?
"Well it's just the setting of that Otome game so there's no point in thinking about it too much."
"There's no point in thinking about what?" Evelym asked me.
(Damn, I said that out loud.)
"No need to wonder about that, cutie." I said, patting her cheek affectionately and then going back to feeding the ducks.
But Evelym continued to stare at me with slightly flushed cheeks, What's her problem?
Third-person point of view
In a faraway place but still on the floating island of Leon, a group of young people with a rebellious appearance could be seen talking in the forest.
"This place is shit!"
"There are no luxuries or fancy meals!"
"And since the sacred tree died, our crests don't shine or work!"
"We are Alzerian nobles, we shouldn't be treated like this by a third-rate country like the kingdom!"
They were all noble teenagers from Alzer who survived, but because of the death of the sacred tree, the crest on their right hands went out, unable to extract energy or cancel magic.
Even so, they were all quite spoiled and didn't seem to understand the reality they were in, so they started to complain.
"Silence." A man sitting on top of a tree said calmly as he hugged a beautiful girl with dark skin, long, sparse black hair, and golden eyes.
The man had spiky purple hair, eyes of the same color, sharp golden teeth, pale and scaly skin, but despite that he had a muscular physique that gave off an intimidating atmosphere.
All the young nobles calmed down except one.
"Who are you to give us orders now, Pierce? We're homeless! Our former status is in shit!"
(Pawwn!)
In response, Pierce took a gun out of his pocket and shot him right in the forehead, killing him instantly.
All the other boys and the girl sitting next to Pierce were startled, but then they turned their faces away as if they didn't have the courage to look at the corpse.
After that, Pierce jumped down from the tree and raised his arms while giving a speech to everyone around.
"He was annoying but he wasn't wrong, we can't keep ignoring reality, we're no longer the nobles of Alzer, so I don't want you to call me Piece Lo Feivel of the six great nobles or Pierre's older brother or Lambert's firstborn son, just call me 'Pierce' your admirable boss and I'll say more if we want to have a fraction of what we lost in Alzer we need to group together, form a plan and assassinate Baron Bartfort! So~ which of you will help me?"
The henchmen were completely silent for a while but then they started shouting.
"PIERCE! PIERCE! PIERCE!".
Meanwhile the black-haired girl just watched from the top of the tree with a painful expression on her face.
