Chapter 215 - Mini Interlude: Reporting, and New Things

Viceroy and Draxus had finished their job at the country of Celestia. With both of them at a slight loss due to being unable to meet the hero, they had no choice but to ask the Lunarians on what the hero is like. But considering that they had already left, they had to go back just for the information. It was then Draxus just simply decided to skip looking the information for the time being.

"Now, what to do with the girls...? I did tell the castle that the Lunarians will at least send Scarlet... But we don't have an ambassador from the Solarians... They'll enter right after Abigail, so I believe we could get things pretty solidified at this point." "For a vacation meant for us we're quite forced to work quite a bit during our well-deserved vacation." "Well-deserved you say... Did you even look at the pay for the mission?" Viceroy and Draxus continued to talk on the castle hallway as they quickly finished up their report and immediately went to rest.

The two of them had actually didn't have enough time to join the Lunar royals for a trip back to the Lunar Capital City. Considering that once they arrive, they would have only a day to finish up the rest of their work in forming an alliance. But considering that Scarlet wished to join Draxus, she was at least given time to speak to her family before getting picked up by Draxus himself.

"So you're gonna be trying to fix her trauma, and also learn from her." "Yep, she's also learning a lot from me though, considering how she observed how I defended from the Solare Cannon... By the way, you did mention that they didn't have a good enough power source for that... And they fired it anyway." "Now that you..." Viceroy realized, as either the Solarians either lied, had no full idea, or had managed to get a power source. "We'll be making a move towards the Solarians in the near future, now that we gained the Lunarians." "Yeah, I guess I'll be joining this mission as well?" "Glad you're quick on the uptake, but for now, take a rest." "Yeah, you too." The two of them quickly moved towards their respective rooms as it was already midnight.

A few days passed, and one country, and one faction of a country had shown themselves with interest to join the [Tranquil Harmony]. But it also lead to some personal problems, not to most members of the Preeliance, but for Draxus himself.

Draxus joined a tea party in a large table, it had three other people sitting at different sides. Considering their position, it was less of a tea party but more of a quick gathering of four friends. The ones occupying the seats were, Serkyrio, Remuel, and Arlesk.

"Drax, I'm glad you went along with my agenda. I didn't particularly want to control who you are to marry but, if you think they're fine ladies then I guess I have nothing to worry about." "It's nothing big, I also want to atone for my failures of when I lived my other lives. I would still do what was ordered." "Unfortunately, we still have yet to find the last heart. We can't trace it anywhere so it's likely inside some realm." Remuel interjected the talk for a bit to speak out his findings. Arlesk, remained eerily silent, prompting the other three to look at him. "It seems something's stuck in your mind?" Serkyrio let out such a question, as he already knew what Arlesk may have seen in his travel. "Sorry but, I only have bad news to bring to you guys." Arlesk began talking about his experience in exploring the country of Bovoyna.

"That is certainly... A very bad piece of news..." The four of them began to discuss countermeasures which led on for quite some time. They only stopped when lunch hours began.

After the discussion, it was now time for Draxus to do something about his fiancés. Suddenly gaining two due to his actions had somewhat surprised all of them. The girls had already discussed with Abigail and Scarlet, and most of them had already moved around the castle, still remaining in groups. Draxus was surprised to see Scarlet joining Liliana, Juliana, and Matilda in the training area of the Sentinels. She didn't particularly join in the physical training, but she continued to observe, especially the ones that are actively training. Draxus had to talk to Scarlet a bit, as he initially thought that she was left out.

"Not joining them?" Scarlet simply shook her head sideways, she then began explaining her reasons. "I actually want to see everyone fight, just so I can learn their magic." "So you observing me that time was because you're trying to understand my magic as well huh...?" She nodded, and explained further. "I am a puppeteer, so any magic I learn, will be given towards a doll that I make. And then, through those dolls, I can use the abilities of others... It's unfortunate that I can only put one into each doll..." Draxus immediately remembered a few things as he recognized the ability. But he simply kept it to his mind as he didn't want to spoil her of her uniqueness. "So you're using my perfect barrier on a doll huh...?" She nodded, Draxus got slightly charmed from her timid smile, seeing as she's starting to get used to her new eyes and voice, he couldn't really force her too much. The other girls had already come by as they had noticed Draxus. They quickly greeted Draxus, but immediately went to ask Scarlet. "Did you get enough references?" "Mm!!" She nodded happily as she felt grateful for learning from them. "Alright, it seems I was simply overthinking, I'll go check on Abigail." Abigail joined Olivia, Wendy, and Gwen for a full tour of the city, it was planned that Scarlet goes with the three in front of her after they return, but Draxus has a tighter schedule.

"Is Draxus normally like this...?" Scarlet asked about Draxus's line of work, as he simply flew out of the castle to quickly head towards the girls touring around. "Yeah, he's normally so busy, but he still tries to give us enough time. And sometimes everybody does go to his room to play, or talk about certain things. He doesn't want anybody to be left out, and he works hard for everyone." Liliana gave her answer as she has somewhat understood how Draxus moves around. "Also, it's about time that his schedule gets a bit more lenient, so we'd be able to go around with everybody." The four girls continued to talk, as Draxus flew down to meet Olivia.

He actually decided to leave them to their tour, as he doesn't really want to disturb girl talk. But seeing as the girls get along without a problem meant that he doesn't have to try and convince the girls. Draxus could simply smile in relief, that the personal agendas between the Archons and the Emperor went smoothly.
