( Yuuki's POV )
A few days after my call with Miu, I was at the back of the castle waiting for an unexpected guest, Miu and Kalawarner's groups had sent messages of their completed missions but on Kalawarner's side, she had a surprise for me, in addition to the evil pieces she promised me, She sent me a couple of interesting weapons that I couldn't wait to get my hands on, but that wasn't all.
In the long report that Kalawarner sent me, she explained her plans and that I would have to take care of a devil Ojou-sama named Ravel, These days both groups have been busy but I was not left behind either, these days have been full of events.
To begin with, the queen of the Belfast kingdom gave birth to Yumina's younger brother, My mother and Yumbina's mother had become good friends so she ended up naming her son Yamato due to her advice.
Afterward, we attended the wedding of the knight from Belfast, Lyon, and the ambassador of the kingdom Mismide, Olga, That was a beautiful ceremony, and afterward, the girls couldn't stop thinking about what our wedding would be like, I've also been thinking about that for a while, obviously that couldn't be a normal celebration and a separate wedding for each of the girls would take too much time, I was thinking of making it at a week-long celebration, but that was still a while away and the girls were going to be in charge of the major details so I just had to make everything they planned possible.
Regarding the alliance of the kingdoms, it continued to grow and the relationship between the rulers and the royal families was good and to improve the relationship between the citizens, I united all the allied kingdoms with a huge train system, in addition, I built a trading center that was like a giant shopping center, Now getting exclusive products from other kingdoms was easier.
The protection of merchants was an important and constant work for adventurers, So in order not to look bad with the adventurers guild I made a deal with them to hire guards for the trains through them.
Then, Suzaku minions found another Babylon transport platform and this was a two-for-one deal, The rampart and the Tower were united and their managers were the gynoids Preliora and Pamela Noel, nicknames Liora and Noel, The tower and rampart were Babylon's main power source and defense system respectively, after that only three parts of Babylon were missing.
They weren't the only new inhabitants of the castle, Leen's student Charlotte had also moved with us, since our trip to the Regulus empire, She started training her replacement in the Belfast kingdom and she recently started living with us.
Part of my royal duties included spending time with the girls on dates and they told me that Charlotte, Yukikaze, Barghest, and Sakura should also be included in this, I have a good relationship with Charlotte and I was thinking that I should confess to her, in the case of Barghest and Yukikaze, Leo told me that they were very important to her and she wouldn't give them to anyone but me, we'll see where that goes and with Sakura, I don't know, I guess I'm going to trust the girls with this one.
Lastly, on a less positive note, I was attacked by a group of assassins looking to steal some frame gears, They were not a problem to dispatch and I left the investigation of the origins of those assassins in the capable hands of Tsubaki, I am confident that she will bring me answers soon.
After a while of waiting, a portal opened in front of me, a happy Shizuka came out, and behind her was our guest, Ravel Phenex.
Shizuka: Yuuki I'm back~
Shizuka gave me the evil pieces, which were a red chess piece, a sword, and some golden chains, I hugged Shizuka to welcome her and then I focused on Ravel.
Yuuki: You must be Ravel, my name is Yuuki, welcome you to our Babylon kingdom.
Ravel: so you are Yuuki, you don't seem that strong, well at least you are cute.
Yuuki: Appearances can be deceiving, I know you just arrived but would you mind answering a few questions for me?
Ravel: That's fine, as long as you have more desserts.
Yuuki: huh? Okay.
/////////////////////////
Before answering my questions, Ravel enjoyed a feast of my desserts. It was great when someone enjoyed my food and she was making some cute expressions so I couldn't help but stare at her.
Ravel: So what's going to happen to me now?
Yuuki: You will be under our protection while we find the person responsible for turning you over to the enemy, after that you can return to your family.
Yuuki: I hope to get the support of other devil families but I will take care of this alone if necessary.
Ravel: ...why are you going so far? What are you gaining from this?
Yuuki: Those who tried to control you are my enemies, what happened to you is partly my fault, I will protect you and you will help me find our common enemy, not a bad deal, right?
Ravel: Well I can accept that.
Yuuki: I want to talk to someone in your family, someone you trust completely and who would never try to sell you, is there someone who fits that description?
Ravel inclinó su cabeza linda mente y ella peso sobre mi pregunta.
Ravel: That would have to be my mother.
Yuuki: very good, for now, let's wait for news from Kalawarner and then we will make our move, Cécile.
Cécile: yes master~
Yuuki: Please show Ravel around the castle, make yourself at home.
Ravel: where are you going?
Yuuki: to my lab, I'm going to work on the gifts that the girls sent me.
Ravel: I'll go with you then.
Yuuki: really? That's not going to be fun.
Ravel: I'm a little curious about you Yuuki, I want to see what you can do.
I didn't have any problem with that so I took the young devil to my laboratory.
