Chapter 6 - The Cruel King

In Ishtar at Jeremy's hideout.

Jeremy and Lumiere were talking in the living room and Maya and Char were standing behind Jeremy while he talked to Lumiere.

"You got a lot to explain to me and to Bell and Hawkeyes too."

"I know you have questions but if I tell you now, You can't process the whole thing."

"I see. So why?"

"To make such you follow your path."

"So you are here to help me. I see."

"Yes. I am Jeremy and also here to guide you through these worlds."

"So tell me. Are there twelve worlds?"

"No, there were twenty-four worlds but most of them were destroyed by destroyers."

"Destroyer?"

"Yes, they are the opposite of creators."

"So they are creators and destroyers and they like gods of something."

"Yes, they are."

"Ugh. So there are gods in others worlds then."

"Yes. Wait, you haven't heard the story of the goddesses, gods, and angels."

"No, I haven't."

"Well then I can't tell you about that yet but you probably can get the information from Luke."

"Who is Luke?"

"Luke is someone that is not against the ultra-society but with it."

"I see."

"But his location is unknown after what happen during the opening of the gate of Kryos."

"That is very helpful and good information to know but the creators seem like they can help our world right."

"Look, don't do anything like that. At all creators can be trusted."

"Why?"

"You will see when they try to kill you."

"Oh, I see."

"We won't let that happen to you," Maya said

"I know my beautiful maids have my back."

Maya blush. "Thank you."

Lumiere got up and he took off because he gave Jeremy a month to recruit Reiko and then be a guild master and then he looked for the key to Central Prime. The door shuts and Jeremy gets up and looks out the window and he talks to Maya and Char about Sophia's condition.

"How is Sophia?"

"She might not walk again because she had lost her leg."

"Is there a way that we can help her?"

"Sorry but no," Char said

"I see. I had failed her and because of my failure. She lost her leg and then we lost our base in Vector."

Both of them had walked up to him and they hugged him.

"You are not a failure," Maya said

"We like you because you are manly and cool and you treated us right in this cruel world and when master Light told us about you I was a little excited because he said you would become a great man someday," Char said

"All of us maid look up to you but you might not be as strong as us but you get there tho," Maya said

Jeremy smiled and then he started to look ahead and then in the other room there was Vermont and Ryne were talking and he was thinking about what happened.

"Why am I like this?"

"I wanted to see your face, don't you want to see my face?" Ryne said with a smile on her face and holding Vermont's face.

"This is good but why are you like this?"

"Because you came back to me. That is why I am so happy and do you know what. Why did you want to protect me in the first place?"

"Because you may be a brat but you were doing that because you didn't show that emotion. Ask one of the boys before that happen and he told me that he asks you out but you turn him down and then you pick on him and you act like I wasn't watching you but I was." Vermont got up and he continue to talk. "You think you a princess are something because I protect you. The only reason I save you and protect because you were a brat that didn't understand love and because of the rude behavior you got rape and die. I was only with you to save you that it."

Ryne looked down and said, " I was only a brat to you. That's why you stay around me because I was a brat." Ryne starts crying.

"Stop it. That wasn't the only reason because I like you but you were so dumb to realize that until now and look at you. You still haven't learned anything. You must promise me you won't talk to anyone again. Am I punishing you?"

Vermont held down Ryne and started to cry and said, "No, please don't do that."

"Do what? Touch your sexy body. Your boobs look so nice."

"So you going to rape me?" Ryne said while crying and pleading to Vermont.

"No, I am not that cruel but I will punish you if you try anything like that again."

Vermont looks at her body again and he likes what he sees but he holds himself back because he was happy to have her back and he starts to cry and hold Ryne tight and Ryne holds his head and presses his face on her chest and they stand there for a while.

While Lumiere was walking out. Hawkeyes and Bell wanted to talk to him.

"So you work under an emperor?"

"Sorry, I couldn't tell you guys but it was dangerous."

"We know it is dangerous," Bell said

"Huh? So you knew it but you didn't do something about me."

"Of course, you are not sneaking, so you just keep doing you but don't leave us out. If you need any help don't hesitate to ask us okay."

"Ight then my guys."

They smiled and waved goodbye to Lumiere and he was smiling and said, "Thank you. My friend."

The sun went down and nightfall came and back in Gard, there was a meeting between the harem king and the noble families.

"Hello there. Head noble."

"Hello, king Rainel." Everyone said

"How is society?"

"Us nobles are making a lot of money from the garden and market."

"We also make more products for the noble people and the low-class is making it."

Rainel opened up a mirror through a bird and he was looking at everything in the low-class and he saw that some were slacking off and he snapped his finger and they explored and some child with blink looks was dumbfounded and they soon were beaten for being lazy.

One of the guards hit one of the children in the face and he told her to get up and get to work and she try to get up and she couldn't pick up the tool but the guard seen that as a lack of effort so he told the other guards to hold her down and she screams and pleading with them about I can do it please give me other chances, please!

Chop, her head was off her head and her body dropped on the ground and the guard said, "anybody else who can't pick nothing up then tells me now and I take you out of this place with your lives."

They went back to work and they didn't cry and didn't talk back to them and they continue on to their daily duties and Rainel thank the guards for their hard work even though the low-class was working harder than them and the low-class was nothing to be an honor of.

They talk about what they are going to do about the hunter that killed a woman.

"Tell me Merc about that hunter."
