[ ~ Chapter • Start ~ ]
The two combatants stood in front of each other, swords out and facing each other as the soldiers who had just stood down had surrounded the two of them.
The mages also set up a dome that acted as a barrier that prevents escape and would also be used to protect whoever was outside it's area of effect. Of course, it wasn't really Alicia's order, but because of a request from several knights under her.
"As stated by our Code of Honor, this duel of us that would not result in either combatants death will begin after our introductions." Alicia explained, before she cleared her throat with a cough. "I am Alicia Arcturus, the Princess Knight of Feoh!"
For a moment, Rance silently smirked.
"Oh well, I thought you would introduce yourself in a lengthy manner. So I'll just do the same! I'm the King of Geofu and Celestine's Chosen, Rance!" He introduced himself, and the Princess Knight acknowledged his title.
For a moment, there was silence between the two. The air was becoming tense, but due to impatience and slight recklessness, Rance leaped forwards.
Reacting swiftly, Alicia had thought if raising her sword to block his own, yet her body moved to the side to do a feint, evading an overhead swing that made a small trench the size of the sword's blade on the ground.
In all her life, Alicia had never seen someone as strong as Rance. And that, just made her feel like this is a challenge she needed to defeat.
She twisted her body and kicked Rance on his face, pushing his own body away from her, even if it was just a few inches, before she proceeded with her own combo of strikes.
A kick to his leg to make him lose his balance, a few slashes to his chest, shoulder and arm even though she noticed that her cuts leave only a gash on the armor protecting the flesh behind it, just before he countered another attack with a headbutt straight to her chest, making her cough out saliva.
With a confident face, Rance kicked Alicia on her side, but then she had immediately recovered and flipped over his leg. Oh, and he saw another glimpse of her pure white panties.
"Hm, pure white huh? Oh, wonderful....." Rance commented, and yet Alicia had merely frowned instead of becoming embarrassed.
"Tsk, I know!" She replied as she thrusted her sword towards him.
Rance ducked down and proceeded to slam his sword into the ground, though while it confused Alicia, a powerful gust of wind suddenly hit her body hard enough to launch her upwards towards the barrier above and deal blunt damage all around her frontal body.
'Argh!? What was that...? Magic...? I definitely felt strong traces' She speculated just before she immediately regained her bearings and landed her feet on the barrier and narrowing her eyes towards her opponent.
When she heard a cheer from Prim, she felt very invigorated and determined to win this battle at all costs. This invigoration and determination actually came from a golden aura that was coming out and engulfing her while multiplying her total abilities a few-fold.
Then, she pointed her sword at Rance while preparing to leap towards him. She looked almost like a blur as she swiftly approached Rance, who was still able to see her coming. To the others, it seemed as if she vanished and had clashed weapons with Rance in the blink of an eye. A loud boom that almost cracked the barrier could be heard nearby, and the greed warrior was pushed backwards
At this point, Rance had smirked in interest.
"Good, good! So far, you didn't disappoint me as much as Claudia, you know?" He commented, as the invigorated Alicia hopped backwards by kicking his chest. "Maybe her title belongs solely to you and not her?"
Alicia wanted to ask him a question, but that invigorating feeling was beginning to vanish therefore she needed to get this done quickly.
She silently began to attack Rance strategically, going as far as to use feints and even trying to catch him off-guard, yet.... she was becoming tired much quicker. Her slashes were being parried, she was being hit by Rance more times than she was being hit, her efforts were becoming more and more fruitless and futile.
Despite her speed that she was still trying to get used to, Rance can still catch up to her and begins to show skill that was purely rivalling hers and Claudia's, perhaps it did
Well, that was until she got a clear stab to Ramce's abdomen once she saw an opening she went towards.
"Ha.... haah.... how's that?" She asked him, yet he looked pretty disappointed for some reason....
"Your sword's broken." He replied, noticing that her sword, although has pierced through his skin, didn't really damage his thick muscles one bit.
With a look of surprise, and a sudden exhaustion and tiredness crashing on her body, she weakly sat on the ground.
"Haa.... I... yield....." She spoke between deep breaths, knowing that she wouldn't be able to fight back because her body was weakening was something she had not expected. What even was that power she had gained earlier?
"Then that does mean that you would keep your deal from earlier, right?" Rance asked, and she nodded, making him chuckle. "Get some rest, we'll get through that part when the night is young."
A slight sigh escaped her mouth, and she was immediately helped up by Rance, though she felt herself shiver under the touch of his metal gloves slowly going down her naked back and down to her knee, before she was carried like a princess.
Sure, it felt really embarrassing to be carried just like that, but it was quite surprising he would do just that to her.
On the sidelines, everyone on her side didn't really expect her to lose, but the devastation of the fact that she might sell her body had made several groups of soldiers sneak out by the help of the mages which helped them by using teleportation magic.
There were also spies from certain fortress cities that immediately left with those soldiers, too. Right now, there were only three hundred people around the area, along with Rance's party.
Sill proceeded to go towards Rance to begin healing him first before Alicia immediately.
Eventually, they all had set up camp after spending an hour walking East for a while, discussing what they all should do once they eventually enter Geofu.
At night, a slightly tired Alicia sat on her bed on the ground inside a tent, adorned in only a dress and white underwear. She recalled a moment where she felt invigorated when she fought Rance earlier.
She looked at her open palm, wondering how did that ever happen. It felt familiar, it was as if Celestine had blessed her into becoming the Princess Knight of Feoh.
And then, she noticed that two people had entered the tent she was inside. They were both Prim and the man who had just defeated her, Rance.
"Prim? Did he do something to you?" She asked, narrowing her eyes at Rance in suspicion. She didn't even notice Prim happily hopping towards her until she replied.
"Oh course, it's me. And now... we're both going to fulfill our deal with Rance right here!" Prim excitedly spoke, as she reached behind her and swiftly undressed herself, surprising her half sister who became wide eyed.
At this point, in the blink of an eye, Rance had already undressed himself too; and in a very nonchalant manner, as if he had done thick many countless times.
It was naturally, a very embarrassing sight, especially when two people shamelessly undress themselves right in front of her.
Her composure was about to break from what she was seeing alone.
"What is the m-meaning of this?" She asked, and Rance stepped forward, his Hyper Weapon going into battle mode. "Eek!"
"Oh, you know..... Remember what we spoke of earlier?" Rance replied, and Alicia could not help but begin blushing.
"That's.... right....."
Eventually, Prim helped in undressing her.

Whatever happened there was a loud threesome that was definitely heard all around the area.
"Be gentle! KyaaaAaAah~!" Was Alicia's own cry.
Alicia and Prim had their virginities taken, and Rance was more happy to know exactly that, despite Prim's hidden knowledge about sex.
"More, more! Shove it deep inside me hard and fought unlike Sister Alicia~!"
Still..... it was very strange for Prim to sound crazy while they did all that.
The entire tent had to be cleaned on later days.
[ R18 ends here ]
A few days later, Rance and Alicia had passed through the borders of Geofu safely and eventually arriving at the City with two Princesses in tow.
Yet, there were still two princesses and four kingdoms needed to rejoin the alliance soon enough.

[ OMAKE ]
Outside Olga's castle, the Dark Queen stared at the magic circle she herself had tirelessly created using her own magic. Right now, she no longer needed her staff, yet her pride and thoughts spoke otherwise.
"A Queen like her needs to look presentable", was one of the rules she set up herself.
Raising her staff, her entire body began to emit a dark, violent purple light. What was she doing? It was simple, she was summoning something or someone, maybe from another world.
Though it should merely take her a long while.
The first one she had summoned was a Tiefling who was merely 150 years old, she was weak, but immediately swore loyalty to the one who was far superior to her. Her name was Radomira, and she claimed to be the Dark Empress from an entirely different timeline. She tried to fight against Olga, but the Dark Queen had many precautions, therefore Radomira couldn't fight back and her title of Empress was completely removed in a humiliating way, from a former-until-now Dark Queen.
The second and last one was the most troublesome and interesting one she'd ever seen in her life.... it was a massive, 50 meter blue scaled dragon who had four golden eyes and bright red sclera. Fin like appendages were present on its body, and unlike other weak dragons she had seen, it had several wings.
The dragon alone was otherworldly sight like the "white elf", yet it was merely a wild, mindless beast exuding an aura that terrified her subjects, it needed to be conquered by her heightened efforts with the assistance of her other familiar, but it seemed like her abilities had totally no effect as an invisible barrier protected it from harm, except against Olga. How? She didn't really know.
At least, she felt quite cautious of other worlds because of a dragon like it had almost equalled her while she was returning to her prime.
After that, she had to recover her mana soon enough due to the tiring act of spending it on her efforts on summoning useful tools and subduing both.
She even thought of sending the dragon straight to one of the cities to completely destroy them.
