While Austin was trying to earn the affection of his sisters, things were not good outside the historic world.
A few minutes earlier:
Within the room Austin had left earlier, the people inside continued to argue.
"Grandpa Bruce, is there no other way?"
"If there was, wouldn't I say it?"
While they were arguing, suddenly they stopped. Seeing this, everyone in the room looked towards them. Before they could question, Bruce disappeared from the room, and the Emperor ran out of the room.
Seeing this, everybody followed the Emperor out. They kept moving until they reached a room and saw Bruce talking to Olivia, who stood beside the now-open historic world.
Coming closer, they could see that Bruce had a very tense face.
"What happened, Olivia? Why did you open the historic world?"
It was the Emperor who asked the question first. Seeing all the people surrounding her, Olivia hesitated at first, but in the end, she answered honestly.
"I opened the door for Austin to take Nora and Elda inside it."
"What!"
Hearing this, Grace moved towards Olivia and caught her shoulders.
"What did you do, Olivia?"
The normally graceful Grace was completely out of it. She couldn't believe that Austin would do something like this. Feeling the pressure on her shoulder, Olivia grimaced.
"Grace, stop it. You are hurting her."
The Emperor quickly moved and interfered to move Olivia away from Grace.
"Grace, calm down. Olivia won't do something without any reason. Let's first ask her why she did it."
Being pulled by the Emperor, Grace tried to pull herself back. She knew right now what her priorities were.
"Olivia, why did you do this?"
The Emperor asked.
"I owed Austin a favor, and when he asked me to help him into the historic world, he used the favor."
Olivia answered, shamelessly hiding the fact that she was spanked into submission. Olivia's answer stumped everyone there, especially the Emperor, as he knew that his daughter wasn't the foolish type to make any moves without thinking about the outcome. Alas, he would never know that his beloved daughter was blackmailed into doing it.
"Stop fighting, all of you. The main thing to do now is to move towards the main viewing hall and see what's happening."
It was at this time that the silent Bruce intervened.
"If Austin did this, then he must have his reasons. Since he already entered, all we can do is see how it's going."
Saying so, he pulled the assembled people toward the viewing room. Olivia, who was following them, suddenly felt a chilling aura. She then looked toward her mother, the Empress. Seeing her for a moment, she felt anger and killing intent from her mother. Olivia shook her head.
"No, I must be dreaming. Maybe the stress got to me?"
While she was thinking, the Empress came close to her.
"What is it, Olivia? Is anything wrong?"
"It's nothing, Mother."
"If you are feeling guilty about anything, then don't. None of the people here blame you."
The Empress said with a mild tone. Hearing her mother's tone, Olivia smiled.
"Sigh, how could I think such things about my mother? Looks like the stress is getting to me."
Oh, if only Olivia knew the thoughts going on in her mother's head and saw the hand placed near her neck, just enough to do a smooth kill.
Meanwhile, back in the historic world, the time given had ended, and the test was about to begin. Austin stood up and drew his bow.
The bow appeared to be the correct size. The whole bow was blue, with several designs on it. The string itself was purple.
This was a top-quality bow made of waterless wood, a rare tree that grows without water, making it very hard and flexible. This bow was a gift given to me by my master.
Thinking of my master, a small chill goes down my spine. After all, recently I found out about my master's unique character, an overprotective yandere teacher.
There were signs before, but I had refused to believe it until one day after my bow training, where I was asked to fight beasts to improve my ability.
During the training, I had gotten hit a few times and had a few scratches. So after the training, I had started to go home. But on the way, I had forgotten something and had to return to the shop to get it.
When I had reached the shop, I didn't see my teacher. So I headed to the training woods to see if she was there. Going there, I used a special device I had gotten from the shop.

Item: The Hidden
Description: An item made by the great device creator Zuka. He had used this device to peep at many legendary maidens without their knowledge.

Cost: 150,000

This indeed was a great item for staying hidden or, well, you know, peeping perverts. It was a band that you put in your hand. Once activated, you would become a ghost. It's like you exist in this world, but no one can know you're there. You could move through walls and such, an extremely useful treasure to save your life. The only downside is that you can't battle in that form. You are nonexistent.
So once I had activated it, I had gone back to the woods to test it. What better way to test it than on an imperial?
Once there, the sight that I saw almost scared me shitless. My graceful teacher stood there, torturing the very species of animal that had harmed me. Her expression and the words coming out of her almost formed an idea in my mind to run away from this continent.
"Hehe, you dare to harm the skin of my disciple?"
"His pure skin and his life cannot be harmed by your trash."
"Ahhh, the look of his innocent and loving eyes towards me. I can't get enough of it."
"Umm❤, looks like I got a bit wet thinking about him."
And before I could hear anything more, I ran away from there, not being able to handle the cruel sight of torture that I was witnessing. I had nightmares the day after.
After quick research and information buying from the system, I came to the answer for her twisted and overprotective love, and the answer came to stump me. From a young age, Eleanor never really received "love." Due to her low talent in the sword, there was not much support from her family, and even during the time of her adventures, she faced many setbacks. Only when she was famous did she receive any attention, so according to her, that's not "love," and she never accepted it? Hence, she never had a chance to give her "love" to anybody, and it bottled up.
And when I, who dearly and completely "loved" and "admired" her, appeared, she couldn't hold her so-called "love" inside of her. This is not bad in a way as it allows me to better control and make her mine. The only problem is, is she willing to share with me? If not, then I would have to deal with a lot of shit in the future.
It was during this time that the warning for the battle began.
