When I opened my eyes, it was morning and Flora was asleep, holding me tightly. The smell of sweat and our love juices filled the room. I combed the shiny hair that fell over Flora's face and kissed her forehead.
"Flora, Flora, get up, let's take a shower" I shook her gently
"Hmmm...Ashfall...sama child....takes his first step...." Flora was delirious with joy, half asleep.
'I think she wanted to have a child so much that she slept all night thinking about him, so she dreamt about him. This girl is absolutely ...Sweet.' I began to caress her lovingly.
"Let's go take a bath together and fulfill the dream you had in the shower"
"Whhh....What, so we are in the shower.....ummm....." Flora blushed and wanted to confirm what I was saying, rubbing her thighs together, averting her eyes from me.
"Of course it's what you think" I picked her up abruptly and headed for the shower, carrying her like a princess.
"Kyaa....Ashfall-sama wait."
So for many more hours we made lovemaking in the shower and lovingly washed each other.
When I left the bedroom I immediately went to the throne room and summoned all the guards and pleiades. At my call they quickly assembled, Demurge on my right and Albedo on my left and our meeting began.
"The reason I have called you all here today is to officially launch our operation for world conquest. All the beauty of this world must be mine, but first I would like to hear your ideas." There was an "Ohhh" from everyone in the room.
"Ahh....I had no idea that Ashfall-sama was such a great aim, as one would expect from someone as great as you." Shalltear folded her hands across her chest and blushed, offering me compliments from her heart.
"Ashfall-sama, if you want the world, just sit back and we will do everything for you." Albedo solemnly flapped her wings.
"Albedo, I have full confidence in you, but the value of a thing increases with the effort you put into it, and taking over the world just by sitting back is no fun. So think of it as a team game, a world domination built on the successes of each person and the delicious taste of victory at the end will be magnificent!"
"I see, Sir, so that's what all your preparations were for." Demurge replied thoughtfully, adjusting his glasses.
"Hahahaha...Demurge, as I expected from you. You probably already have a plan for this, now tell me what's on your mind."
"Ashfall-sama, we can attack the city of E-Rantel first, after all we captured the Eight Fingers organization, so we own almost half of the RE-Estize kingdom. We can easily take the city from them and establish our own country." Demurge advised me to draw a path like in the original.
"It is actually a very effective way, but it has its flaws:
1) Establishing a new country means a new constitution, new laws and these will take a lot of time
2) Other countries could form coalitions against us. Although we can easily crush them all, but these wars will put the citizens of the countries we will establish in a difficult situation.
So here's my suggestion:
Let's take a high position in the kingdom of Re-Estize and rule the kingdom in secret. If necessary, we can kill the wise old king and put the foolish first prince on the throne, manipulate him easily and rule the kingdom in his name. It would save us a lot of administrative hassle to take over what is already there."
"Ashfall-sama, how do we get a high position in the RE-Estize kingdom?" Albedo put her hand to her chin and thought deeply.
"Gazef Stronof invited me to the kingdom when I saved Carne village, so this is our opportunity. Demurge, you use the Eight Fingers to start a rebellion, and get most of the nobles involved. Orb of Death, Jalabadoh, will attack the city with some demons. I as Felix the adventurer will fight Jalabadoh, Pandoras Actor in my guise will help the kingdom and put down the rebellion. So in the end, because of my help to the kingdom, they might give me the position of archmage like Fluder. Then we take over the nobles by binding or killing them through the game of thrones. Nekomi I have an important mission for you, kill the princess of the kingdom in time of war and make it look like the work of a demon. Then let's start the plan."
"As your wish Ashfall-sama" All reported at the same time
******************
A few hours later I went with Nabe to the capital and watched everything with the magic mirror while waiting for the time to come. But first of all there was business to take care of. With Demurge and Cocytus we went to Sebas Tian in the capital. Solution greeted us and duly welcomed us inside.
"Get Sebas to come here and bring the whore with him." I announced after we went into the main hall.
A few minutes later Sebas and his blonde girl arrived, bowed and walked in. They froze as soon as they entered because Ashfall Nightshade, the king of Nazarik, was sitting with one leg crossed over the other, like a god, and a pair of piercing eyes scrutinizing them to their very souls.
"Sebas, you know why I called you here, do you need me to explain?"
"No sir, I understand everything, don't tire yourself over something like that."
"Demurge, tell me everything again, so that he will reconsider his mistakes."
"Yes, Ashfall-sama. First of all, Sebas, you were supposed to keep a low profile, but you brought in human trash from an Eight Fingers brothel and if I hadn't intervened, you would have wasted a lot of Ashfall-sama's funds for the mission. You also wasted valuable healing scrolls on the girl. And when Staffan Heivish accused you of slave trading, you would have been fooled if it wasn't for me. And also...."
"That's enough, I appreciate your explanations and your protection of Sebas, Demurge. Now Sebas, I'm listening to you."
"I apologize for all the trouble I caused, sir, and I will do my best to make sure it never happens again." Sebas bowed deeply and sincerely apologized, clearly understanding his mistakes, but I was still not satisfied. I didn't consider it a rebellion against my authority, but I was still angry.
"Sebas, I accept your apology, the main thing is that next time you take a more careful step and learn from your mistakes. But now you must face the consequences of your mistakes, so Kill this girl who was the root cause of your mistake."
Sebas' eyes widened, his gaze flickering between me and Tuare. But Tuare encouraged Sebas, as if resigned to her fate. Finally Sebas took a deep breath and struck a powerful blow with his powerful fist, but unexpectedly his attack was stopped by Cocytus.
"I am sure that this attack will kill that girl, so for now you face the consequences of your mistake. From this day on, that girl is your responsibility, so her actions will be written in your name. I allow her to work as a servant in the Nazarik." I informed Sebas.
"I am grateful to you, sir, for your forgiving decision." Tuare and Sebas bowed and expressed their gratitude.
"By the way, do you have any relatives?" Sebas asked Tuare.
"Actually, I have a sister, but I prefer not to remember those old days," Tuare said wistfully and sadly.
I stood up and walked over to Tuare and handed her the bag that belonged to Ninya.
"I went on a mission with Ninya once, but unfortunately Ninya was killed in the mage incident in the city of E-Rantel. This is her stuff, she always wanted to find her sister, anyway you can go now." Sebas and a tearful Tuare bowed and left the room.
"Ashfall-sama I don't doubt your decision, but wasn't killing the girl a better solution for Nazarik?" Demurge asked the great question.
"You are absolutely right, but there are two reasons for my decision:
1) Consider it a reward, a test and a punishment for Sebas. I gave Sebas a carrot and a stick at the same time.
2) That girl won't come out of Nazarik, so there is no possibility of any information leakage"
"I understand, I will always remember your wise decision" Demurge adjusted his glasses with his index finger.
Once that was settled, Nabe and I went to the forest near Hilma's mansion and waited until the main events began.
######################
When the battle started I waited a little away from Hilma's mansion. Jalabadoh (Orb of Death) and a few demons were waiting at the entrance to the mansion, as per my orders. At this moment, three women from the Blue Rose team appeared. Seeing Tia, Lakyus, Evileye coming, Entoma immediately got on a huge fly and retreated. The great battle between the Blue Rose and the demons began. Evileye launched a coordinated attack with Lakyus, crystal bullets rained down on Jalabadoh along with flying swords, but Jalabadoh protected himself by using the [Wall of Hell] spell with his seven level spell casting ability. His counterattack with [Chain Dragon Lightning] pierced Evileye's [Crystal Wall] spell and dealt serious damage to the loli vampire. Lakyus attacked Evileye to buy time and her black sword collided with Jalabadoh's stilettos. But the twofold level difference between them immediately affected the outcome of the battle, the stiletto pierced Lakyus' shoulder and released the lightning spell, shocking the girl. Tia, who fought the minions, was also wounded and defeated by the numbers disadvantage.
'Now it's time for the hero to emerge.' I involuntarily contorted my face and with a devilish smile I put on my helmet and soared up with flight magic and landed with a thud right in the middle of the battle, the ground beneath my feet cracked like a spider web from my fall.
I pointed my sword at Jalabadoh and asked, "Who are you and what is your purpose?"
"I am the demon general Jalabadoh, our goal is to retrieve an important item that we have identified as being in this city. This item is an important historical relic for the demon race. By the way, may I know your name?"
He bowed slightly and greeted me.
"I am Felix the adventurer, I am the one who will bury you tonight."
Our mock battle began with my attack, he answered my swords with stilettos and claws. Throughout the battle I observed the fallen Blue Rose members, Evileye had her hand over her heart, and with the vision in my helmet I could see her reddened face behind her mask. I used some martial arts to make his attacks more effective and convincing, I managed to push the enemy back a bit with [Ability Boost], [Gale Acceleration], [Greater Ability Boost] and landed the final blow with [twentyfold Slash of Light]. Jalabadoh stopped most of my attack but I managed to land six blows, four to his arm, one to his horn and one to his wing.
"Felix, I must say that I underestimated you, anyway, enough of playing with you. Obviously you have earned my respect, so I'm giving you a warning, I'm about to sell off most of the city with a wall of fire and believe me, everyone who enters will die." Jalabadoh rose into the air, pointed his hand at the girls behind him and created a lot of earthen spikes, threw them and flew away. I immediately heroically got in front of the girls and pulled them to me, taking all the damage.
"Are you all okay?" I asked knowingly.
"Thanks to Felix-sama, we're all fine, you saved us just in time." Evileye reported with an expression of worship.
"I'm glad you're okay"
"I am grateful to you for putting yourself in danger to protect us, but please think about your own health." Lacius spoke as a nobleman should, but her flushed face and the love in her eyes gave her away.
'And that's way the prince in red armor got the lolicon vampire and the blonde chick.
"But it will be a big problem if he goes to the city, we have to follow him," Evileye announced excitedly.
"No, first we must heal your wounds so that next time we can attack him together"
"Ahh, Felix-sama is thinking of our well-being" they both covered their flushed faces with their hands and murmured softly.
We rejuvenated ourselves with healing potions and magic, but our attention was drawn to the great pillar of fire covering the capital.
"What's that, I've never seen anything like that" Evileye, despite her age of several hundred years, was seeing this for the first time and was therefore surprised
"It looks like Flames of Gehenna"
We immediately made our way to the center of the capital. We went to the princess's planning room with the soldiers who welcomed us. The plan was set up as in the original, with the only difference being that Lakyus joined us and joined the spearhead team.
Together with the soldiers of the kingdom we passed through the false wall of fire and were greeted by low level demon monsters. After slaughtering them in the coolest way possible, we came to the center, where Demurge, Pleiades and Jalabadoh were lined up waiting for us.
Pointing my sword at Jalabadoh, I said "Let's have our unfinished battle" and charged. Demurge and Entoma fought Narberal Gamma. Beta and Solution fought Lachyus, Alpha and Delta fought Evileye. Meanwhile, the king joined the battle, which boosted the morale of everyone, and Pandoras Actor, disguised as Gazef and me, joined the battle. Pandoras Actor's [Holy Smite] spell on the center of the demon army shocked everyone by destroying them. The seventh-tier Dominion of Outhority had used this spell and I had copied it.
At the end of our minutes-long battle, we came to the center where everyone could see, and I used my final attack, the [Accelerated Death] martial art. My sword and body were covered in Ki, and in an instant I was behind Jalabadoh and I sheathed my sword. Behind him, Jalabadoh was torn to pieces and his flesh slipped from his body, staining the ground red.
'I've always wanted to do this attack that we see in almost every anime.'
But the pieces of Jalabadoh's flesh, which everyone thought were dead, turned like black tar and coalesced to recreate his body. Of course, I hadn't killed him, I had deliberately missed the orb inside his head.
"I appreciate your great sword strokes, but you cannot kill me. Now, if you will excuse me, I am leaving." Jalabadoh, his body reunited, took to the air with wings.
"No...we can't let him go" Evileye shouted in frustration and anger.
"Felix-dono what a waste to have such a mindless woman next to a great warrior like you...what a waste. Don't forget that my demon army has the city surrounded so without me you would all be dead just like this" Jalabadoh pointed his hand at the royal palace and as soon as he snapped his fingers a huge explosion destroyed most of the palace.
Chaos erupted among the people, and King Rampos III, knowing that his daughter was in the palace, rode his horse towards the palace, Climb riding with him. Taking advantage of the chaos, Jalabadoh Pleiades teleported away together.
The battle was over and the day was dawning.
"Felix-sama we won" Evileye jumped on me with joy and hugged me tightly, but her small body was hanging from my neck. Behind her, Lakyus was blushing and longing at this scene and looking away from me. She wanted to hug me too, but her noble side wouldn't let her. Nabe, on the other hand, looked cool, but there was jealousy in her eyes and a look of disgust on her face, like she was looking at an insect. So, like a true *cultured man*, I opened my arms wide and embraced them all with love, putting an end to this war between the girls. Sona raised her sword to the rising sun and declared victory.
'The explosion in the last scene was probably planned by Demurge and I must admit it was spectacular. He covered up the princess's death by blaming it on Jalabadoh.
****************
Two days have passed since the incident. Princess Renner's death shocked everyone, even before the people had healed their wounds. The king was depressed and a great wave of grief had overwhelmed him. This was entirely in my favor, as the weakened king gave me greater opportunities. The people mourned the death of the "Golden Princess". Thanks to the wizard Ashfall's unstinting support for the kingdom and the marvelous maneuvering of Albedo, who came with him, he was given the title of kingly wizard. He was given the lands of all the fallen and betrayed nobles and his political power surpassed most nobles.
"Felix-sama, why aren't you eating, or didn't you like the meal we had with Nabe and Evileye?" Lakyus asked sadly and skeptically.
The Blue Rose team and I had rented one of the special planning rooms of the adventurer's guild, and since then I had been staying in the capital and working with the Blue Rose team.
"The meal was wonderful after all, prepared with the love of three sweet girls. Only Princess Renner's death surprised me a little too much."
"You're right, that moment still haunts me. The death of the princess had a big impact on the little brat Climb, Brain says he's so sad he can't hold a sword and won't leave his room." Gargaran spoke with the expression of a sad mother.
"By the way, Ashfall is the new wizard of the kingdom, the king has given him great privileges." I deliberately steered the conversation away.
"After his brilliant attack in that war, I think this is the right decision. It keeps the nobles in check and lets the Baharuth empire know that they have leverage against Fluder." Lachyus spoke proudly as if he had it all figured out.
"So Ashfall-sama, are you still staying in the capital?" Evileye asked excitedly
"Of course I plan to stay here for a while, in case Jalabadoh shows up again."
"I don't think it's only because of Jalabadoh, you handsome rake." Gargaran grinned knowingly, the girls blushed and looked away from me.
"As expected of the mother of the group, you spotted me right away."
"I wonder if I'm one of the reasons you stayed?" Gargaran took it one step further
"Although your compassionate heart warms my heart, alas, no. But I heard that one of the empire's arena guides is head over heels in love with you," I said with a grin. Evileye spat her tea on the table and said "How can that be?!" She sobbed in surprise, as if she doubted that the person was human.
"You treacherous girl, just as this handsome man is in love with your flat body, he is attracted to my thick body." Gargaran said sarcastically and Evileye covered her non-existent breasts in shame.
We ended our long and joyful conversation after a few hours and everyone dispersed. I teleported with Nabe to Nazarik.
