North of the empire, the town of Resa.
The cry of a child resounded in one of the Marcus mansions.
" Dear Dolan, let me hold it."
Sweat trickled down the face of a beautiful woman. She held out her arms wide to receive the child from a young man with a muscular body with silver hair, his dark golden eyes had some strange halos on them.
" He looks just like us."
She smiled and held the baby in her lap and his small arms reached for her breasts.
" Ah, are you hungry?"
She put the tip of her milk into the baby's mouth and he immediately took it as an instinct. But after only 2 minutes, she frowned slightly because of the tickling feeling. Not only did he suck, but he also played with them, he squeezed the tips of her milk with his hands as if he wanted more milk to come out.
' Do babies usually do that? '
" Slow down little kitty, if you keep doing that, they'll spill out. Wasting is not goods"
" Lucia he's only two hours old."
Dolan chuckles as he sees his wife lecturing the newborn baby. He sat on the bed and gently stroked her shins hair. But if Dolan could read minds, he certainly wouldn't want to laugh right now.
' That's right, this precious resource can't be wasted hehe. Can't believe someone like me finally got a chance to touch such a divine artifact! sniff sniff. Ohh beautiful mommy tits are the best!'
That's right, our Alex was enjoying every moment in Lucia's bosom.
' This hot milf is my mother! Unbelievable! Thank you FF God! '
" What should we name the baby?"
" What about Willy Moon? Smol Peni? Suga Cogi?"
' What's the heck with these names!'
Alex stared at the couple, he thought they were joking, there's no way they would give him such names right?
" Supa base? Poke Mias—"
" Alex kudasai..."
"???"
They both stared at him, their mouths gaping.
"Did he just…"
"…"
"…"
" I think I'm a little tired."
" Yes, we need to rest."
Like many other Protagonist parents, they changed the subject and pretended that the absurd thing 1 minute ago never happened.
" Alexandra, Alexandra Marcus."
Lucia kissed Alex on the forehead and Dolan nodded in agreement.
Half an hour after getting bored, Alex began to observe his surroundings. An oak room, king-size bed, gorgeous dressing table…
'Are they nobles?'
Alex was starting to feel nervous. Depending on the place and time right now he could be in trouble. Isekai at the beginning of Akame ga kill is also the time when the civil war takes place the most, especially for the nobility who have to live in fear of a certain group of brutal assassins.
' I hope this is before the start of Akame, so I'll have plenty of time to prepare b—'
Suddenly, the door to the room burst open and another young man entered, in contrast to Dolan he looked like a high school student around 14-15 years old.
" Brother, you have to leave now! Edward's group has been arrested, it's only a matter of time when they come to you."
The atmosphere in the room became tense. Marcus immediately got out of bed, his muscular arms carefully carrying Lucia and Alex and then people began shouting everywhere.
A few hours later, many things happened that greatly confused Alex, before realizing he was in a carriage.
' Shit shit please slow down!'
His body right now was that of a newborn baby, so it felt like the whole world was shaking. If he could vomit he would have vomited everything. The uncomfortable moment lasted all day until the vibrations slow down as the space become eerily quiet. Alex could hear loud rustling outside of many leaves as if they were going into a forest.
' What's going on? Where are we going?'
" Lucia, are you okay?"
" I'm just a little tired, more importantly, Dolan… can we escape?"
' Eh escape? From what?'
" I received words from a reliable person, in Taigen the Revolutionary Army will meet us there."
' Sh*ttt!'
Alex cursed silently when he realized his parents were the worst kind of aristocrats in this world, the one standing between two fronts was always the one eating the bullet.
' The current situation is terrible, two lovers flee with their child in a carriage to a remote area, they're the traitor of the empire. Aren't those all Death Flag???'
Alex's anxious feelings were multiplied many times while he was in this form. He try to suppress but the cry kept slipping out of his mouth.
" Good boy, good Alex."
Lucia's warm voice calmed him somewhat but his eyes still couldn't leave the scene outside the carriage.
' Please come back! With this situation 99% there will be an ambush!'
He looked at Dolan with big sparkling eyes but Dolan didn't seem to understand what Alex said instead he tried making a silly face to make Alex laugh.
' Stop, that only works with babies! Now is not the time!'
As if in response to Alex's concern, the carriage suddenly stopped.
" What 's up?"
" Dolan sama, the road ahead is blocked."
Said the driver, he drew his sword and then 'Klank!' Countless sounds of metal clashing could be heard outside the carriage, although he couldn't see anything, he could understand that it was the sound of bows and arrows, the countless arrows were being discharged on the carriage, fortunately, that this was a special type of carriage. with a metal coating, otherwise, he would have turned into a hedgehog by now. Alex could feel the trembling of his mother who unconsciously hugged him tighter than usual causing him to hiccup.
" Protect Lucia and Alex, I'll go out."
Dolan gave an order to the knight beside him and immediately jumped out of the carriage.
" Dolan—"
Lucia tried to reach him but she knew there was nothing she could do to help, she could only wait and pray.
The carriage was surrounded by more than 50 people. But Dolan didn't care about them, his gaze was only fixed on the 3 people in front of him.
" Dolan nii sama why? It must be because of that disgusting witch!"
The first one was a woman with silver hair like Dolan, in her hand was an oversized Scythe for a small body. Her eyes were filled with anger.
"Greda, now you believe it, about your beloved brother?"
Playing with his mustache, the second one was a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat decorated with a large plume of feathers, at his back was a small lance, his hand was on the white-haired woman's shoulder as he was glancing at Dolan.
The third of them was covered from head to toe in a white cloak, at first glance could not see any weapons on his body. Dolan was sure that all three of them were Teigu wielders.
"Dolan nii sama please abandon that woman, if you surrender and tell me where the rebels are, I will beg father for you, we can just forget about all of this."
At the woman's insist, Dolan silently shook his head.
"It's no use Greda, you know his character, as long as that woman's alive, your brother won't come back. The only way is to end it here."
" But-"
"Do you want to betray your father?"
" ! "
The woman named Greda became silent, she gritted her teeth and stared at the carriage.
"Greda stop. As long as I live you won't touch her."
The killing intent emanating from Dolan startled Greda.
"Hahaha is undeniably one of the potential candidates for the position of general of the empire. But it would be funny if you think you'll survive fighting three of us."
"Briar I advise you to keep your saliva, for what is about to happen to you will be very painful."
After that, the battle begins. A white mist was emitted from the hooded man and the entire area surrounding the carriage became blurred. Dolan clenched his sword and immediately there was a sharp screech, something aimed at Dolan's heart. "Clank", he used his sword to parry it and followed by a continuous thrusting like a machine gun firing. The Briar man is known as the King of Bee, one of the first-class assassins, his Teigu is capable of extending up to 10 meters with tremendous speed. They were like iron tentacles that continuously attacked Dolan's death point from all directions, Dolan was within Briar's ideal attack range, at this distance even the strongest warriors of the empire even with full heavy armor will also turn into fleshy plates filled with holes. Yet only with a normal-looking sword, Dolan parried every hit. Taking a deep breath Dolan used strength in both hands and swung so hard that make Briar almost released the lance.
" What an inhuman strength." Briar thought as sweat covered his face.
Dolan rushed to Briar at bullet speed, although he tried to retreat, he could not keep up with that abnormal speed. Dolan bounced off the ground and whirled down Briar's head. Just before he was about to split Briar Vertically his sword collided with something huge. In the mist, the head of a giant monster with sharp iron teeth and its skin as thick and strong as steel intercepted the sword and knocked him into the air. Dolan skillfully landed, he charged straight to the carriage and swung his sword at the white shadow floating in the ai who wanted to go for a sneak attack on the carriage. Blood splattered, and at Dolan's feet was the dismembered corpse of the Cloaked man.
"1 Down."
Dolan smiled confidently as he immediately dodged a largemouth from above, the ground where he stood 1 second ago was a strangely smooth large hole, rather than being smashed, the soil seemed to mysteriously disappear from there. Behind the monster's head thing is the woman named Greda, Her Scythe looks like a living creature, when Dolan's sword touches it, it wraps around his sword like a snake, and the crescent blade became a monster's head. Dolan let go of his sword as the monster devoured it. He then dodged the lightning-speed thrusts from Briar.
"Haha well done Greda, he's unarmed. After we kill him, we'll kill the b*tch in the carriage."
"Hahaha."
"What are you laughing at?"
"It's hard to believe that a big mouth like you can be ranked in the top 10 most dangerous assassins."
Dolan's muscles swelled and made his armor feel like it was about to fall off.
"Let's see if you can come out in one piece."
In the car, Alex's heartbeat was faster than a horse's. It had been almost half an hour there was a lot of shouting outside, the sound of weapons clashing but no enemy had entered the carriage, his father and the loyal knight were still fighting. This lingering sound made him scarred in many ways he didn't want to hear it but also didn't want it to end because it would mean the battle would come to an end. His mother was trying to calm him down with songs, but her trembling and choked voice were accompanied by startled sound whenever there was metal clashing near the carriage.
Moments later, the curtain opens, and both are relieved that it is Dolan's loyal knight, Buck, but then become alarmed by his condition. He was gasping for breath, and although he didn't appear to be injured, his face was extremely pale. Buck fell, he tried to get up but kept falling, his mouth open and closed like a fish out of water, he seem to have trouble breathing. Lucia put Alex down and helped Buck to come and sit inside, after a moment the curtain of the carriage was lifted once more. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the person who entered this time was Dolan.
"Lucia, sorry but we'll walk to the next town, our horses are dead, and the rider is dead too."
Lucia hugged Dolan.
" Darling, It's a blessing that you aren't hurt..."
Dolan smiled and patted his wife's head, his gaze drifting to Buck.
" Buck…"
Buck wanted to say something but couldn't get the words out, so he just nodded silently. Dolan took out a large sack, he dumped everything inside and used it to secure Lucia and Alex on his back then jumped out of the carriage.
" What about Buck, Dolan?"
"…He needs to rest, it's just us." - Dolan lied.
A cold north wind blows over Alex's delicate skin, his eyes wide open to witness the scenery outside the carriage, a corner of the forest has been ravaged, trees and stones are scattered everywhere, the smell of blood lingering it was so bad that he felt nauseous again. Dolan stopped in front of two corpses of two men, seemingly collecting their weapons.
He looked at the path in front of him, thought for a moment, then change his route and turned into the woods.
Night in the northern empire Ornio town.
Dolan had changed his armor, he was wearing a cheap shirt and a shawl. Lucia was also covered behind. The three of them chose a commoner's inn as their resting place. The innkeeper is an elderly, kind-looking woman.
After bathing, they rested in their room when there was a knock on the door.
" This is the dinner set."
" Thank you, ma'am."
Hungry, Lucia was about to eat but Dolan stopped her, he used his nose to smell everything and then took out something like a tea bag and dropped it in the soup, rice, everything. After finding nothing out of the ordinary he nodded and the two of them started their dinner. Lucia was used to living in fullness, so this must be one of the rare times she know hungry, in just a moment she ate a quarter of the food and this made Dolan laugh. Suddenly after a moment, Lucia's face turned pale, and Dolan could feel his hands shaking.
' Impossible.'
There was a swish and the sound of something gliding through the door, a kunai stuck to the inn post, and Dolan clutching his neck. If it was normal-state he could have avoided it.
"N-No." Lucia groaned weakly.
In the room three figures appeared, followed by a dozen soldiers. The innkeeper, a handsome man with red hair, and a young girl in Chinese dress.
" Wahaha, I finally got you! You damn bastard!"
He stepped on Dolan's head and then repeatedly kicked him.
" S-Stop!"
The guy turned his head towards Lucia who was crawling helplessly on the floor and lip her chin.
" Oh dear Lucia, you should have accepted my proposal, now look at this. Now I'm gonna generously give you another chance. Be my slave, I will spare you."
He ran his hands over her body, giving her goosebumps, but for Alex and Dolan, she had to endure it.
" Ha, Lucia oh my haughty Lucia what happened to you, should you be spitting in my face by now? Hmm? Because of that thing? "
Stroking Lucia's white thighs. A lustful smile appear on his face, and he turned to Dolan. 'Shred!,' He tore off Lucia's skirt and then pinned her down. But before he could do anything, there was a cold feeling on the right side of his neck.
" Stop, don't even try to do this in front of me."
The young girl's blade pressed against his neck.
" Hey Babara, what the hell is your chick doing?"
The surrounding soldiers pointed their swords at the girl and the woman but she just smiled, they didn't even put them in her eyes.
" I advise you to do as she says, we Oarburghs will not cross our arms over such cowardly acts."
The man's face turned red with anger but then he sighed and raised his hands to the sky.
" Okay, fine, fine, I won't do anything to her okay."
After the sword fell from his neck, he clicked his tongue.
' Those damm Hypocrite Btches but that's okay, I have plenty of chances when I take her back to the capital.'
He licked his lips and turned to the bed where Alex was sweating all over.
' No no don't come here!'
The thoughts slipped out of his mouth into a deafening cry but the man didn't care, he grabbed him by one leg and dragged him in front of Lucia and Dolan.
" Do you mind if I use this?"
Barbara opened her mouth to say something, but she looked straight at Alex and his eyes widened and sparkled.
" …No, for some reason, this child makes me feel strangely disgusted. Do whatever you want."
' Aren't you kidding? It's okay, it's okay I'm a kid, that's right, no one wants to do something with a kid right? He only do it for some threats then he'll let me go—'
" Hehe Lucia, look at Cute Little Dolan cha-cha!"
He held Alex's hand like a puppet and performed punches and kicks, just remember that Alex is only a 1-day child and this made Alex burst into tears because of the pain.
" Shut up annoying dog!"
The man put his hand over Alex's mouth and then a pain that Alex won't be able to forget. The man's hands were smoking and the powdered parts of Alex's nose, mouth, and neck were on fire.
' Agghhhahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!'
The pain writhed from the bottom of his soul.
' Aghh! That's hurt! Please! At this rate, I'm going to become an Edge Lordddd!'
Alex's mind began to spin, he could barely think anymore.
' Aghh Whoaaaa Waaaaaaa! Isn't this where I'm going to faint?'
Although the pain twisted to the very soul, somehow, Alice was still awake, he couldn't escape it.
' !$!*&$(!*$!)&)$210!!!'
His face was so distorted that it couldn't be more 'distorted'. The smell of burnt meat wafted through the room. Lucia burst into tears, she cried out in despair to Alex cry and the light in Dolan's eyes dimmed as blood gushed from his neck. Lucia used all her strength to try to get Alex from the guy but what she received was a strong kick to the stomach that sent her flying to Dolan, she vomited everything she ate.
'$!)!)(*$!@$*(9!!@!'
" Dear Dolan my love…"
Lucia suddenly crawled towards Dolan, she mutter weakly.
" D-Do it, s-save our child…"
Dolan didn't move or rather couldn't move, tears streaming down his cheeks.
" I-It's ok Dolan, I love you…"
" !!!!!!!!!"
" Hey Lucia, look—"
While torturing Alex, the man realized something was wrong, he used his legs to poke Lucia's body but she was completely motionless, not breathing.
" What the hell is this, Babara?"
" Impossible… this poison only causes paralysis, how could she die?"
" Damn it! Damn, Damn! useless hag, how much did I spend on you, is this what I get?"
" Watch your mouth brat…"
When the atmosphere in the room became cold when a conflict was about to take place between the two sides then something unusual happened. In the corner of the room, a figure slowly stand-up on his feet.
" N-No way! "
" I'm sure that I cut his throat? Is it Teigu?"
Dolan's bloodshot eyes made the man shiver. The killing intent emanating from him was so strong that it chilled even the legendary assassin Babara's spine.
' So this is the famous Marcus 'executioner'.'
———————————————
In the middle of the night, in a certain remote area outside Taigen Town. Dolan staggered, his body covered with oozing wounds that kept bleeding. His feet had long since lost feeling but he kept walking, in his eyes, the distance a little far away was the light of hope, the light of Taigen town.
" Don't give up my child, just a little more…"
' #@!@$!%*&!*%&!*&'
Alex's face was deformed, and Alex's breathing was getting weaker and weaker. Dolan could sense his child's time dwindling. He stopped at around a big rock and sat on it. Alex's face was still contorted in pain.
" Don't give up Alexandra, you are my son, the mightiest warrior in this country, pain will be a part of your life, it's the friend that teaches you how to survive."
He kissed Alex's forehead.
" You have my hair and your mother's eyes, I wish I can leave you something to remind you of us."
" @!$%f%!!"
" Alex, live, no matter how cruel the world currently is, one day you'll definitely see it, a world where no one has to suffer."
" $!…"
The cool breeze blew through the wildlands, the sun rose brightly, and far away the birds sang.
A circus is traveling to Taigen.
" Sabatini stop!"
" Natalia, what's wrong?"
Natalia jumped off the carriage and headed for a mound.
" Waaaah ahh"
" What the hell is this?"
" Poor soul."
Natalia holds the child.
" Don't tell me you're going to take it with us? We have something important to do, don't we?"
She rolled her eyes. And Sabatini sighed.
" Okay, we'll bring it along for the time being. Komi is also experienced in childcare. But only until we find a new place for it."
Natalia nodded and turned back to the rock.
" What about him?"
" Whoever he is, he deserves a decent burial. "
The circus resumes their traveling, unaware that the child they accidentally picked up would change their entire lives and destiny.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" FF God! FF God! How could you do this to me! Where the hell is my plot armor!! Why did I have to suffer that much and almost got killed even though I was just born!"
" Did you die?"
" No, but—"
" Exactly."
"…"
