"...." Maria stared at Sicily then asked, "Are you for real?"
"Um." Sicily nodded shyly.
Lynn and Yuri also had woken up when both of them heard that Sicily had become one of them and couldn't help but let out a sigh, wondering that their man was working very fast. His duel with Shin was about to start, yet that guy decided to get Sicily right away, but they also had to admit that they might need more help. After all, they knew how monstrous his ability in bed was.
"Sicily, are you out of your mind? That guy is a beast! He already has both Lynn and Yuri!" Maria couldn't accept it for a while when she heard that Haru and Sicily had become together. She might not have acknowledged it, but she felt quite sad at that moment. Her eyes stared at Sicily, and there was a hidden bitterness on it. After all, from a young age till now, all the people who saw them together would always look at Sicily without hesitation, which made her a bit sad somehow.
Sicily shook her head and said, "I don't regret my choice." She then looked at Maria and asked, "How about you, Maria?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Maria was dumbfounded.
"If you enter his bed, I'm sure that he won't reject you," Sicily said with a smile.
"I - I'm not such a casual girl!!!" Maria's face was as red as her hair, and she couldn't believe that her best friend would say something like that to her.
"But Maria, if you become his woman too, we can be together too," Sicily said with a sincere smile.
Maria was dumbfounded once again, and somehow she felt that it wasn't bad when she thought she could be together with her childhood friend. Still, when she thought about that bastard, she couldn't accept it, or rather, he hadn't made a move on her, after all, and as a girl, there was no way for her to take the initiative, right?
"I won't admit it!" Maria then decided to be stubborn and quickly ran away. "You have changed, Sicily!!!"
Sicily could only look at her best friend with a helpless smile at this moment.
"Still, is this alright, Sicily?" Yuri asked.
"Um, I thought you were the type who loved to monopolize your man," Lynn said.
Sicily might seem like a sweet girl, but they knew very well that there was a lot of hidden darkness on this girl, and this girl might be the typical yandere girl.
"Just with his talent, courage, and money, even if his face is very ordinary, he won't lack a girl, but once he takes off his glasses, I'm sure that even the queen of the country or Melinda-sama won't be able to take off their eyes from him, and if we don't control him, I'm sure that there will be a lot of girls in the future, so rather than those random girls that we don't know, it is better to get Maria into the group since I'm sure that way, that beast won't play around in the outside again, right?" Sicily smiled sweetly and said, "So from now on, please take care of me, Lynn, Yuri."
".........." Lynn and Yuri were wondering how such a sweet girl could be so scary, and at the same time, they had to admit that Haru was very brave.
---
"Achoo!" Haru wiped his itchy nose and somehow felt that someone was talking about him.
"Cold?" Julius asked.
"No, I think someone is talking about me," Haru said.
"Of course, someone will talk of you since you have decided to challenge Wolford-kun a duel!" Thor was speechless.
"Say, do you all think that I'm crazy?" Haru asked.
Julius, Thor, Tony, and Mark nodded without hesitation. After all, no sane person would challenge Shin Wolford.
Haru shook his head and said, "It might sound crazy, but when you were a child, had you not ever thought to become the strongest person in the world? Shin might be the strongest in the world now, so I want to see whether, with my ability, I can defeat him." He was full of bullshit at this moment since he had a lot of ways to defeat Shin.
"......" Julius, Thor, Tony, and Mark realized what their difference with Haru was, how Haru could become the youngest member of the council, one of the richest men on the continent, and also dared to send a challenge to Shin Wolford.
Haru then stood up and said, "I wonder when Shin and August are going to return." He thought for a while and asked, "August has a fiancee and a little sister, right?"
"...What do you want to do?" It was Thor who asked this question with a wary expression. After all, everyone could tell that this guy really loved women too much.
"You don't plan to do anything weird, right, Kasugano-kun?" Julius also stood up and looked at Haru warily.
Haru was speechless and said, "What do you think I'll do to them? I'm just curious. There's no hidden meaning behind my words. Look into my eyes. Do you think these pure eyes are capable of making a lie?"
"......" Thor, Julius, Tony, and Mark had never heard such bullshit.
But one thing was for sure, Thor and Julius also noted that they shouldn't bring their fiancees in front of Haru no matter what in the future.
"Thor, Julius, you don't need to worry too much. After all, I've heard that both of his highness and his fiancee are very lovey-dovey, and I'm sure that no one is capable of shaking their relationship," Tony said calmly.
Marka also nodded.
Thor and Julius thought for a while and then agreed, after all, even though it might sound rude, in terms of appearance, August won against Haru. Still, when they thought about Haru's weapon at that time, they became quite wary for some reason, and when they saw how sticky Yuri and Lynn to Haru was, they knew very well that Haru could handle his weapon very well.
Haru didn't know what they were thinking nor did he think too much, but suddenly his head was slapped by Maria. He looked at Maria and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Don't you dare to play with Sicily's feelings, bastard!" Maria said angrily.
"......." Thor, Julius, Tony, and Mark.
Haru smiled and said, "Of course not. I won't play with her feelings. I will treasure her well."
Maria snorted and said, "I don't believe you."
"So, do you want me to show you how I treasure Sicily?" Haru asked.
Maria was a bit surprised and asked, "Can you do that?"
"Of course." Haru nodded.
"Let's have a date! If your date is unsatisfactory, then I won't accept your relationship with Sicily no matter what!" Leaving such words, Maria quickly ran away.
Haru looked at Maria's back and had to admit that this girl was adorable, but then he looked at Julius, Thor, Tony, and Mark, who looked at him with a wary expression, since this guy was too skilled, right?
Then the time passed very quickly, and August and Shin returned to Sicily's manor, but this time, they weren't alone, and they brought two people with them. Still, of course, most people knew about the identity of the people that were brought by Shin and August since the circle among the nobles was quite small. Still, both of them introduced themselves to both Merlin and Melinda. After all, the prestige of the Wise Man and the Guru was huge.
"I'm Elizabeth von Coral," the beautiful girl with blonde hair introduced herself politely.
"B - Big brother August's little sister, May. Um... Um..." May introduced herself shyly.
Haru nodded and thought that the gene of the king was quite good since May was adorable, but then, he noticed Elizabeth that stared at him for some reason. "Is there something wrong?'
"No." Elizabeth quickly shook her head, pretending nothing happened.
Haru nodded and didn't think too much. After all, Elizabeth was the future queen. Talking with him might cause unpleasant gossip. He then quickly looked at Shin and said, "Shin, are you ready?"
"Um, alright, let's have a duel soon, Haru." Shin nodded without hesitation.
Everyone who was quite suspicious about Elizabeth's reaction was quickly attracted by the duel between Shin and Haru. Still, as for Elizabeth and May, who didn't know anything, they could only stand there dumbfoundedly.
'What's happening?'
