It had been an eventful night, I awoke with Diene on my side who was naked, I could get used to this but it was until.
'Hmm?'
A bird kept knocking on the window, I opened it and then landed on my finger.
'So She's coming'
I looked at Diene and sighed, I wonder how Aerin would react, well I already had plans, the worse she could do was mutilate Diene.
How do I know she can go that far? It was when a few years ago I heard that potential candidates for being my fiancée disappeared and when they would be found they would be traumatized.
Needless to say they were fine and healed right after, but after returning back and me meeting them they would instantly run away from me in fear it was only until recently that I connected the dots.
I always thought that I was scary looking, guess Aerin did have a hand in it.
"Claude."
"Diene, there's something I have to tell you."
"What is it?"
Diene looked at me with worried eyes as she grabbed my head and placed it on her chest.
"I"
"You have someone else right?"
"Well."
"I know, practically the maids told me, I made friends with them when you were gone, Aerin was it? She is a scary person."
"You're not afraid of her?"
"Why would I be? To tell you the truth."
"Hm?"
"Ever since that night, well I felt lighter and somehow."
Diene casted a fireball, it was the simplest spell a mage could learn, to my shock and surprise she burned her own arm.
I could see tears running down her face but she bit through it, I wanted to stop her but her face told me not to.
After a while, her arm that was black as coal began healing, after a minute it turned into back to its flawless state.
"I accidentally cut my finger yesterday, that was when I discovered this, and."
Diene stood up, currently we were in her room, she then opened the closet to my surprise there were detached fingers!
"Is it yours?"
"Mm"
"How, wait!"
I forgot one important detail about her, it was then and there that I remembered when I saw the detached fingers.
When that the protagonist took her chastity the proceeding battles he too had wondered why even though she would be stabbed and wounded she would always look like nothing had happened.
People thought it was because of her Identity as a Saintess that she knew healing spells was the reason why she would always be okay.
"How."
"I had a dream, I was in a garden, It was when I saw a woman I didn't know, she asked me if I was sure in what I did."
"And?"
"I told her I was, Oddly enough I remember her grumbling and sighing at that time I didn't think of it but now."
My mind went into overdrive, this is not in the book, just who is that mysterious person and who is Diene actually.
Now that I think off it, how was a commoner like her had talent and potential to become a Saintess in the first place!? And why was she stuck in that rundown village?
I then told the bird that arrived to go back to Leisl and tell me if her parents were still there.
"I have a question though."
"For you I'd answer anything."
"Can you regenerate your how do I say this, barrier?."
"I haven't tried it but if that's what you wa-"
"Hm?"
"It grew back."
My eyes widened once more, how the hell is this happening, at the least now I had assurance she wouldn't die that easily.
It was then.
"Claude, it grew back, this time I want to."
She pushed me down and sat atop of me. She immediately inserted my rod into her cave and I also felt the barrier that I broke not too long ago.
It was then I saw pleasure in her face, the pleasure she gained from being in pain.
'Oh boy'
-
I sat up after hours of no end, I could see Diene's satisfied face, I remembered how she liked being in pain.
It was already lunch time, I covered her with blankets and kissed her forehead before I changed and left.
"See you later."
I hoped I didn't miss out on anything, right now I had to go to the library, I want to verify my conjunction about Diene's real Identity.
"Young Lord, someone has been waiting for you."
"Who?"
"He says he's from House Milvus."
"Alright take me to see him."
House Milvus? They were an insignificant and declining house if I remember, their Heir would always get bullied.
Well their Heir was the one fat nerdy kid back in my previous life that would grow up to be nothing more than an Otaku like me, except I did exercise and hd a job.
"Lord Claude from House Rayne."
Roman announced as I opened the doors, just like I expected, the man had a bowl cut, eye glasses and a chubby body, it even looked like he had snot in nose.
"Greetings I'm Dave Milvus."
He stretched his hands while waiting for me to shake his.
"I'm a germaphobe."
I wasn't, I just didn't want to shake his hands for some reason.
"Ah! I'm sorry my apologies."
"Sit, so what is it?"
I saw Dave who looked like he was about to confess cry.
"Can I."
"Can You?"
"Can I observe Elven Life?"
"Okay."
"I'll be proper Eh?"
"I said okay."
"Really?"
"Do you want me to say no?"
"N-no!"
"Just follow Roman, he'll take you to shops, factories, and the office if you want to observe Elven life in the City, as for going to Listeria talk to me again in a few months it needs a special permission"
"Ah thank you!"
"I'll be leaving now, I'll see you in the office later, Roman take four guards for security purposes"
"I understand."
I allowed Dave to observe, its better to have more friends than enemies I guess, plus I understood his fascination.
Even though his house was a declining one, A House is still a house, they have territory, they have resources, and most importantly they have an Identity.
House Milvus was one of the houses that respected different races so I'm not scared, Now all I had to do was find a way to Control this house or at least ally and support it from the ground up.
I made my way to the The Association it was then I felt something toward me, I turned around to see a knife coming towards me, I caught it.
"Run!"
I didn't waste my time and threw back the knife, I made sure I hit the leg.
"Ah!"
There were three of them, but there was only one knife, they were the same people who bullied that demon yesterday.
I then went towards the guy that got left behind.
"Don't!"
"Don't come near me I'm from House Irrelevant and I'll tell my father!"
"You!"
"Come on tell me which house you're from?"
"I'm from House Bern! I'll make sure no Elves will stay here once my father hears this."
"Oh."
Shortly I saw Six Elven Guards come to me holding the two kids that ran away, I looked around to see if there was anyone else.
It looks like they've been camping me and waiting for me, since this was an obscure route towards the association and they were the only ones.
"You know, I maybe be an elf and your family controls this area well."
I then grabbed a knife from the inventory, squatted in front of him.
"Two can play at this game."
The two free guards then grabbed him.
"Let's go make sure no one sees us."
"Please!"
Looks like Diene's identity has to wait, for now I'll deal with this kids.
[ Ding! ]
"Oh."
