Just as the morning sky began to rise, the first thing Draxus heard were constant clicks. He drowsily opened his eyes slowly to see Pauleen holding her phone while facing the camera lens to them. Behind her, was Juniper showing a grin as she looked at the phone Pauleen was holding up. ".....What the heck are you doing....?" Draxus asked as he began to notice that he was unable to move in his current state. Pauleen then simply smiled as she let out an answer with a calm, but teasing tone. "Collecting evidence~" Draxus was slightly confused as to why she was saying that in a teasing manner. But a few seconds passed as his body finally began to gain the sense of feeling. Soft arms and bodies clinging to both of his sides, somewhat warm breaths pass through his cheeks, and legs and almost half of their bodies on top of him, as if using Draxus as a comfy hug pillow. It was then he completely realized. "I'm unable to move not because of the cards, but because of these two?! I can understand Livi's case but Gwen?!" But instead of shouting, he let out a dry laugh as he choked on his own saliva afterwards. There was no way of stopping Pauleen and Juniper who were grinning as they took pictures of the trapped Draxus with both the princess and deaconess. As a result, Draxus had nothing to do but make an internal screech until both Olivia and Gwen woke up from the noise of the camera shutter. It was easily known that both the Princess of Quisterion, and the Deaconess of Santuria, experienced the shame and guilt of being caught sharing a bed with a person. Draxus on the other hand, felt extreme pressure as he easily knew that both Pauleen and Juniper will send the photos to the main channel the second they can use magic. He could already hear the forbidden words coming out from Remuel and Arlesk along with Wesley's group taking out a bunch of extremely high quality alcohol as a teasing celebration. The awkward atmosphere was almost unbearable to handle so Draxus immediately left with a flushed face. However, before he left, he stroked the heads of Olivia and Gwen which did spread the effect of Draxus's flushed face. Having figured out his intentions from the start, Olivia asked for a favor from Juniper to call for Audrey and Jay while still having the flushed face. Juniper nodded and quickly left the room while grinning, while the three that remained in the room had a one-sided exchange of teasing.
"How was it?" Pauleen let out a smirk while teasing Olivia and Gwen with a question. Both girls who ended up sharing the same bed with a man, got their cheeks turn into a deeper shade of red as they were instantaneously reminded of their sweet time which was basically sleeping together and nothing else. Both girls were unable to answer which made Pauleen grin deeper. The teasing exchange went on for quite a while.
In the meantime, Draxus immediately went to the pope as he got rid of his flustered appearance. His clothes were slightly damaged but he couldn't care less about the situation. He had asked the maids who are cleaning the area but it was said that the pope is currently handling an early morning mass. Due to the slight contingency, he decided to wait to a location on where the pope usually pass by. He waited in that garden for a while as he remembered the sensations of his wakeup call. His face immediately flushed once again as he looked around the area. "Good thing nobody else saw that... It would be bad if the maids found out that I had cajoled the Deaconess in some way or another..." Draxus sighed and turned his gaze down in exhaustion. "Hmm? I'm curious on how you would be able to cajole my daughter." With the mature voice coming from the side, Draxus immediately turned his gaze to the owner of the voice. He then instantly froze his expression that's internally screaming in shock at the porcelain face of the pope wearing her white robe. She had an expression that was demanding for an answer with her small smile that doesn't reach her eyes. In his mind, Draxus immediately felt like running away but he has a lot to tell the pope about. "L-Let's discuss this over some tea, Pope Niloufer..." Niloufer simply chuckled as she covered her mouth with her fingers gently. "Why so formal? Is there something bad you've done?" Draxus flushed his face as he remembered the bed-sharing once more but it immediately converted into a serious expression and gave a proper answer. "Yeah, it's about Axel and Iapetus who is the priest that's always around him..." Niloufer's expression immediately changed and nodded in response. "I see, then let us go to my private quarters. Is it highly confidential?" Draxus nodded in response as the two went to Niloufer's private quarters.
Draxus was the one who prepared the tea after arriving to the room. Niloufer was surprised on the taste of the tea far surpassing the ones that her servants could ever make. "Delicious, where did you learn to make such tea?" Draxus shrugged his shoulders as he let out a slack answer. "From Serkyrio, my Emperor. Anyways, about the incident..." Draxus began to explain the situation after making a quick sip on the tea. "I intended to act as guardian to keep an eye on anybody making a move on my Sentinels, so I decided to stay up the entire night. However, due to a situation change, instead of hearing one of my sentinels crying for help, I heard your daughter instead. I decided to check it out so I jumped from balcony to balcony only to find the hero, Axel attempting to violate her. I stopped him from doing so by..." Draxus fluttered his jacket and revealed what was inside it. Niloufer widened her eyes in shock on the amount of metals hidden under the jacket of Draxus. It was taken off when he was brought back but he made sure to bring it to the discussion with the pope. "Throwing these eight inch nails. I got really mad so I ended up not holding back." Niloufer took another sip of the tea before asking questions. "You have cuts here on your clothing here and there, so I know you ended up fighting him." Draxus nodded and gave further explanation of what happened on the battle. "Yes, and I did defeat him using nails after chasing him to the battleground somewhere on the cathedral. It's a weird dimensional place that I'm quite familiar with, but those powers to manipulate the [Space-Dimensions] are definitely not from him who can only use [Ascension] type magic. In that area, I defeated him without even using magic while he had the [Hero Card] active. It was just experience but just when I was about to finish him off... A guy he called as Iapetus interrupted us with two weapons that controlled time." Niloufer immediately felt like standing up due to the power the enemy had to control time. "[Time]?! That's one of the strongest forms of magic!" Draxus immediately soothed her to calm down. "Tone down, I was able to fight that person to a certain extent after he graciously lowered the barrier for me. But I made a mistake on my combat methods and lost. It was a good thing that I was either spared by him or saved, but there's a problem." Niloufer lowered the teacup once more after taking another sip while listening. She kept her eyes on Draxus with a serious expression as if she's preparing for a major problem. "Iapetus mentioned somebody that has a higher position than them. He even referred the hero as just, some underling. Considering that Iapetus is around just as strong as me with those weapons, then that person could be behind everything." Niloufer nodded as she turned her gaze down. "So there's even somebody stronger than the heroes huh...? At least we know that the hero is evidently dangerous but seeing as they're about to prepare the ritual in two days at night, I have one request of you Lord Kingfisher..." Niloufer bowed her head down as if requesting it formally. Draxus was taken aback due to the sudden action of the pope as he tried to wave his hands, he stopped it due to the contents of her request. "Please protect my daughter..." Draxus once again remembered the worried expression Gwen showed last night. He once again heard the words that he could die against them on battle as tears started to sparkle on her eyes. It was then that he realized that he might've done it again. He simply scratched his head while smiling. "Raise your head Pope Niloufer..." Draxus then resolved himself to just handle things in his way in the most epic and stylish way possible, but to never forget and pour all of his efforts into the fray. "I accept your request, because I, Draxus Heimdal Kingfisher, have somewhat attained a close and wish for an intimate relationship with her."
