Chapter 4 – Born & Awakening

The next day after the big surprise from his parents.

During his private lesson, Lola checked Lute homework. But today, their place for lesson was completely private. It was Wallen’s study room.

“Good! No problem at all. Then how about we increase our lesson time a little bit and I will teach you other things as well. Also I have promised to share something new with you for today.”

“Yes!”

Lute became excited that he could learn other things too.

“Fufufufu, be patient, child. We start our arithmetic lesson. How to add, minus, multiply and divide. I will teach otherworld knowledge which they called digit value. I hope you can keep it up.”Lola challenged him.

So their lesson began, because of that he was feeling happy. The progress of the lesson ran smoothly. When he learned about the number, digit value, addition, subtraction, multiplication. Even at the earlier stage,he was slow after figuring out but he asked and practiced the lesson before proceeding to the next stage.

“*sigh*, all done. Why did Lola Sensei’s lessons suddenly become harder today? I am already near my limit…..”

“Well,  it is also one of my hardest methods. Seems you can handle it.”

“Are you serious? Well, at least I can hear something new and this time was fun but please spare me from learning many things in the same day.”

“Fufufu, I will keep that in mind,” Lola chuckled.

Lute just sighed when he saw Lola just kept teasing him. After he drank some water that had already been prepared for them. Lola started talking…

“Ok then. Why did I choose this room? Do you know the reasons?”

“I do not know why but I heard from Papa that this study room was special. It likes like there is a special barrier in here.”

“Yes, that’s correct but I will detail it more. This was called a magical barrier that focuses on preventing any information from being leaked out during important meetings and other situations that require the use of this barrier. Also this barrier has a time limit but if we use some man-made artifact it will work forever unless it is broken and needed to be repaired or replaced.”

Lute just listened while waiting patiently.

“The reasons I choose this room is because what I will share is actually top secret in the world, which every empire and kingdom hide and destroy the evidence of its existence. Actually I cannot reveal it but for some reason I will to tell you only.”

“I am excited but isn’t this really dangerous?”

Lola just giggled at his question.

“Fufufufu, do not worry about it, I received permission for this from your father and in fact, he’s the one asking me to share this with you.”

“Papa did? Why?”

“We know you can keep a secret. You are quite mature for your age, I can tell that.” Lola explained.

“But that does not make any sense.”

“Surely you know that your family is famous in the empire, right? This information will help you when you succeed your father,” Lola informed him.

“Let’s hear it out then.”

At last Lute just gave up asking for more questions and became quiet to listen to what Lola said.

“Fufufu, good boy. Ok, we are going to talk about Omnitrodium. What is Omnitrodium? It is the strongest metal in this world. Which is also one of the reason why the world is at war. Our first king decided to hide or destroy the evidence about this metal. No one knows where it is. Even if they knew the existence of Omnitrodium, they still cannot find it.”

“I see, then if they find it, won’t that be dangerous?”

Lute was doubtful because there would be some king or high rank noble who would try to take it. But why?

“No, they still cannot find it. If they found it, there will be a problem. During the alliance 500 years ago, the king of Arezel Kingdom, right now The Great Arezel Empire, decided to destroy any related info about the artifact and facility to produce that metal. So right now even if they found it will be useless unless they have the artifact or facility that can produce it. Some file of that metal still exists because they know it was important but it was heavily guarded.”

“That means that metal was useless. I’m not interested in it.”

“What an impatient kid. I’m not done yet.”

“Then I will just listen.”

Lute’s mood suddenly fell because the metal he was hearing about seemed useless.

“I didn’t say it will become useless but there is some rumor about there is still one facility that exists for this Omnitrodium. But until now there is no one who has found it yet……”

“Really!?!? Then what can Omnitrodium do anyway?”

“Seriously, wait until I’m done talking. Next time hear it out until the end. *sigh* Continue back. Even if they found the facility, Omnitrodium is also hard to be found and the details are not well known. You need to find these 2 things before you can proceed to process this metal.”

Lola did not answer him directly but told there would be a problem even if they only found one of the two things

“You asked me what Omnitrodium can be used for, right? It was the same as any other metal. Weapon, armor and other ills. You can even build a wall to keep the country protected from monsters. That’s not all. The power of this metal is too powerful; even they can make Otherworld weapons too or make something that cannot even be achieved yet. This metal can turn the world upside down.”

“If we get it, it will be bad if it fall into the wrong hands. There are too many possibilities but one of it is that the war will be started until they get that metal.”

“That’s correct, so what will you do if you found it by yourself?”

“I bet I will keep it a secret for a while. Even If I found one, the problem will keep appearing one after another. If I got both at the same time, which is a way to produce the Omnitrodium to make stuff. I will keep that a secret too. But that’s also a problem. Maybe I can report to the Emperor, but that will not solve the problem because there are also bad nobles. It’ll be more troublesome than this. Ugh, so heavy… I don’t know what to do.”

Lute was having trouble finding an answer but Lola….

“Hahahah, you also have trouble thinking about it, but don’t worry about it since you still a child. Like you said, there will be a bad noble even for a king or emperor. The war will be started if it falls to the wrong hands.”

“Wooa, this thing is so scary”

“Well, even they found this, it’s not like they can’t produce it right away.” Lola added

“Why?” Lute asked.

“Because the condition of Omnitrodium is that it must be produced by the otherworlder with their uniques ability.” Lola said with teasing tones.

“Ehhh…just it?”

“That’s all i can share. the rest… is too early for you”

“Thanks, Lola Sensei!” Lute said.

Then the class ended.

 

Today was where Rosalin needed go back to school. She only had a two days of holidays left before the school started again. So Lute decided to go to her room.

*knock* *knock*

“Come in.”

“Excuse me.”

When he entered the room he saw the bag had already been settled by the maid and Rosalin was already in her uniform school. After he closed the door, Rosalin hurried and hugged Lute.

“I will miss you all again, uuuuuu. I hope that I can always go back home but the school was too far and takes 1 day to travel. Uuuuuu.”

Lute stroked her head and said.

“There, there. Be patient. I know you can do it and later I will enter the same school as you too. So please wait.”

“Yes!”

After they parted a little bit, Rosalin asked him something.

“Lute, can we do that again?”

“That? Do what?” Lute asked.

“This,….”

She put her index finger to her lips, showing what she wanted to do while her face turned red.

“Ah, ok.”

Lute still did not know what his sister was doing but Rosalin knew this was called a kiss. Both of them hugged agan and their lips met each other.  After a few seconds.

“Hehehehe thanks. I will do my best. You too, Lute.”

“Ok, good luck. If you have a problem feel free to send a letter.”

“I will do that then.”

Both of them went out of the room There Elizabeth, Sheila and Wallen were waiting for them. Rosali started hugging each of them.

“Take care of your health and focus on your studies too, Rosalin.” Elizabeth told her.

“Stay healthy and I will watch Lute for you,” Sheila teased.

“Hahahahaha, if you have time, please come back home and do not hold back if there is a problem in your school. Tell me, ok.”

“Yes, thank you very much. You guys, please take care too.” Rosalin said as she turned her eyes to Lute.

After the maid was done putting the luggage in the carriage, Rosalin rode it and then the carriage moved. She waved her hand ather family until they couldn’t see her anymore.

Oh well i need to finish the homework too.

 

The time flowed, each of them did their own work. Today was Wallen’s free day so he stayed home for while.

Evening……

“Haaaaaaaa!!”

Lute and Wallen were sparring in the training ground. Each time his slash was blocked, Wallen noticed there was something different from their usual training before.

“Ho, today you seem energetic than usual,”

“Ah, *pant*…..really?……*pant*….”

“Yes, something happen? “

“Nothing happened. Just Lola sensei taught me useful knowledge.”

Wallen could guess a few things over what Lute meant….

“This will be the last one. Come!”

Lute dashed and jumped, then swung the wooden sword again but suddenly…

“Yaaaaaaa!!!”

“What!?”

What he saw right now was the wooden sword having a light glow around the sword.

That’s!? Don’t tell me?!

He knew this. It was sign of unique skill awaken.

Wallen unconsciously used his skill to block the sword. When both wooden swords clashed.

*bang*

*crack*

Lute’s wooden sword broke while he was still in the air. The momentum sent his head toward his father’s wooden sword.

“Ouch!”

He fell down and sat up, holding his head. There was a bump on his head.

“Damn, hang in there, Lute. I will take you to Sheila!”

Wallen lifted his son and hurried to the garden where Elizabeth and Sheila were having tea time.

“Sheila! I need a healing spell now on Lute!”

He shouted when he arrived, which made both of them feel weird until they saw what happened to Lute.

“Urgh,” Lute let out a groan.

“My son!!!” Sheila screamed in panic and hurried to his side.

“What is happening, dear!?”

“Just use healing now! I will explain it later!”

Sheila used her healing by touching the injured part without using any voice incantation. The bump decreased little by little until it was completely gone.

“Hmmmmm the pain….gone?”

“Yes, mommy healed you. It’s ok now.”

Sheila hugged him when she saw Lute was ok.

“Then what is happening actually?”

Elizabeth asked with a strong voice while Sheila had an angry face, which make Wallen troubled but he felt obligated to tell them what actually happened.

“Let’s sit first. I cannot tell you anything if you guys don’t calm down.”

“Let’s go, Lute.Just sit on mommy’s lap, ok?”

“Ok.”

All of them sat on the chairs at the table, which had various snacks and tea.

Then Wallen started talking.

“First, I am really sorry. It was my fault. I will explain what happened earlier but please listen to me first.”

“Alright, we will hear you out,” Elizabeth told him calmly.

“Thanks, you guys know that Lute and I are always sparring. Today was different.  We were having a little chat and had a last swing to end the training. During our last clash, before our swords met, I saw a glow in Lute’s sword It was red in color. Then I was panicking and unconsciously used my ability to block it. Then Lute’s wooden sword broke, and his momentum caused his head to hit my sword before I could disable my ability in time.”

After Wallen explained, all of them fell silent for a few seconds.

“Don’t tell me that…..”

“That’s……”

“Yes, there is no mistake. It was a unique ability.”

Both of them were surprised because the unique ability could not be inherited. They received it naturally. Even training could not confirm if they could get it or not. But Lute received it.

“Unique ability?” Lute who is sat on Sheila’s lap looks confused.

“Yes, Unique ability is varied. Each person’s unique ability is not the same. So there is only a record that tells us how to know if the person has a unique ability.” Wallen explained.

“I see,” Lute said in wonder.

“But next time please be more careful.”

“Yes, sorry.”

Wallen just smiled wryly, knowing that it was his mistake too. From there he started training him how to control that ability. For the earlier stage they focused control, which required a user to concentrate on detecting if there was any change. When they realized it, the ability would be canceled and there was no effect on user or the target. Middle stage was the user knowing how to let it out but the problem was either it would release less or more power when they used it. Last stage was allowing the user to get more used to it. They knew what the ability could be used for, ranged, power and anything else. Unique ability was totally vast, which made it hard for people to know except only training helped them know it.

 

The time flowed so fast that before they knew it, Elizabeth and Sheila‘s stomachs had grown bigger. They started having a hard time when they needed to cover their baby weight. Both of them already started participating in less activities. Sometimes Rosalin came back to visit them for a few days. Wallen started always coming back home but sometimes he ended up having work to do.

After a while, Sheila started to go into hospital. Luckily, Wallen had already called a doctor that had handled Rosalin and Lute’s birth.

But she was having a hard time because it was a breech delivery. Doctor and the nurse used their knowledge to get the baby out. Suddenly Elizabeth showed signs of giving birth which the Doctor and Wallen panicked. But the Doctor told him to just lay her on the bed next to Sheila’s and ordered the nurses to call other doctors. Wallen put her down and sat between both of them to hold their hands to support them during labor. Another Doctor was called to handle Elizabeth.

As the operation began, Wallen was told to wait outside. He sat on the chairs but he was unable to calm himself while Lute was just waiting patiently and praying for his family’s safety.

This was also breech delivery, and both mother and child had lapsed into a dangerous situation.

After a while, with their efforts, the delivery was successful. The Doctors managed handled the breech delivery.

Wallen entered the operations room hastily to look his wives’ conditions.

As the Doctor confirmed they are fine, Wallen then looked at his new babies.

“Both were female. Both were sisters. Both side were girls?” Wallen said and laughed in a silly way.

Lute thought he wanted to be a great older brother to his little sisters.

Sheila’s daughter, Olivia and Elizabeth’s daughter, Glacia.

These were the names that had been given to them.

Chapter 3 – Surprise

It was morning at the mansion where Lute was living. Currently he was studying with his private tutor. It has been few weeks since Wallen hired this private tutor. Luckily he got the same tutor who had taught Rosalin, his name was Klaus. But due to some urgent matter he needed to settle, he was replaced by Lola, who was a teacher in Rosalin’s school and his former student too. Right now she was checking Lute’s progress on his task from Klaus.

Lola Helios, she was 20-year-old beautiful young woman, she was wearing british gentleman suit with neck length bob cut black hair. She was a slim woman with pale skin.

“I see, no problem with the character. All of it was correct. I’m amazed you got memorized it so fast. Usually it takes a month to learn the letter, and in some cases, it might take 2 months. Good job there.”

“Thank you very much. Well, it’s not hard for me, just memorize each pattern and how it was said then it will work.” Lute replied dismissively.

“Lute, your ability to memorize is high. Normally they will be having a hard time to memorize but I guess you learn some of it from your elder sister. So it makes your study easier.”

“Hahahahaha!”

Lute just laughed arrogantly when Lola told him about that. A few years ago, Rosalin was always teaching him about what she learned. So basically, when Lute saw it again, the next thing was to try to figure out which one it was.

So to Lute who had a strong memory, this was too easy.

“Thanks to your elder sister, it makes the learning process run smoothly. It was also your talent. I can see you are a genius. Someday in the future, you might achieve something big.”

Lute frowned when Lola called him a genius. Lute never liked being called a genius for no reason. He preferred to be called smart over genius.

“Well, then let’s proceed to writing. How to write a few words and we will proceed to write a letter,” Lola instructed.

“Ok.”

Lute just nodded and they started the learning session. Sometimes, Lola had trouble teaching a noble child because she thought either it was the way she taught or something else but she never understood the problem exactly. So she rarely took the job as private tutor until Klaus called her. She was anxious that it might turn bad. After teaching Lute, she realized the problem was not the way she taught. When she looked at Lute’s attitude, he was focused and made a note of what she said. If he did not understand he would immediately ask but sometimes it went over the time of the lesson. It was the hard work Lola saw in Lute. Even if he was a genius there was still a question from him. It make Lola happy when teaching him.

“Any question?”

After she was done teaching him how to write a letter and seeing how Lute practiced during their session, she asked him if there was a problem. It was the tutor’s job to know whether their student had a problem or not.

“No, for now I think I can do it. If there a problem I will ask during the next class,” Lute told her.

“I see, then I will go for now. Also, do not forget to finish the homework I gave you. Even if you are smart, try not to delay it. Sometime we do not know what will happen in the future so try to finish it earlier.”

“Yes, I will keep that in mind. Thank you very much for the advice,” Lute bowed.

“Also try controlling your face too. I know you are bored but sometimes we can find a new thing even when learning the same thing.”

“Urgh….ahahaha……sorry….. I will try my best next time.”

Lola knew Lute liked learning new things. Because of the small progress he felt bored from learning something that he already knew, which made him more bored. She noticed his bored expression during his session sometimes.

“I know you want to learn new things. But you cannot rush through everything. Keep that in mind. I will share something new for you next time.”

When he heard Lola wanted to share something new, Lute’s eyes sparkled.

“Really!?” What an impatient kid fufufufu, thought Lola as she smiled.

“Yes, maybe we should try something deeper. Ah, by the way, I’m really glad the relationship between your family is good.”

Lute made a weird face when he heard Lola suddenly say that.

“Why? Is there something wrong with it?”

“Fufufu, there’s no problem with it; I think it’s better to have a good relationship with the family. Then how about I share some knowledge that’s not part of our lesson.”

“Really!?”

Lute become excited when he was told there something new he didn’t know.

“Yes, be patient. Listen well, it was about the noble system with our current era. You know that our world have otherworld and reincarnate people?”

“I do not remember very well…hmmmmmm……”

“Well, I will share it later, for now let’s focus on what I am going to say. The thing I wanted to share is the noble system. We divide into 2 categories. Old and new noble system.”

“Hmm, there’s 2 systems?”

“Yes, the first one is an Old noble system. This system originally from our world. How did it work? The king will promote them to noble rank. Then they will give land to whoever had a high rank in noble ranking. I will share more details later.”

Lola paused, then continued.

“We do not have any problem with polygamy or bigamy but the problem is when they have a few children in the old noble system.”

“So is it related to the relationship you were talking about earlier?”

“Yes, I will give you an example. In noble family xxxxx they have 2 sons and 2 daughters. When their son and daughter have reached certain adulthood, that will change their life.”

Lola fell silent while Lute waited until she opened her mouth again.

“First for the first son, he will become the head of family. That means he succeeds his father’s work but the second son can’t. He needs to leave the house once the first son married and he needs to survive alone without any support unless the family is willing to support him. Most of them won’t do it unless they saw something useful about him.”

“That’s kinda cruel. Then how about their daughters?”

“Yeah, it was cruel but that’s the reality, Lute. You need to accept it. I know you understand that since you are a smart child. Ok, back to topic.”

Lute nodded even though he don’t really understand whether what Lola said was true or not.

“The daughters become subjected to political marriage. Majority of them cannot marry the one they love. Nobles care about their rank or their heritage if not it will make their name become bad. Only some nobles care about their daughters’ feelings and let them decide to marry whoever they love.”

Lute became speechless; he didn’t know what to say and showed his surprise on his face…..

“That how Old Nobles work. The relationship becomes worse if they do the polygamy. The first wife is superior while the others are not. It was a worse situation. I have seen that and sometimes they end up killing each other. That’s why I said I’m glad there’s no problems with your family relationships.”

“That’s why the New noble system was created.”

“So what about this new noble system? It is still the same where you get promoted by the king, polygamy and bigamy, and also they are given land if they are high ranking nobles, right? Unless they change the way to choose their successor?” Lute concluded.

“Yes, you are right; the difference is their inheritance and marriage. Also there is one more special thing in it. This system was made from otherworlder and reincarnate people…..they cannot bear to see how old noble treat their son and daughter. Even so people are still using Old Noble system. Their first son still inherits it, but their other son and daughter still receive support from family until they can go on by themselves. Their daughter can decide who they wanted to marry. Also, when family members are having problems they will support each other in many ways. Money, people and other ills. They even got what they wanted to do such as becoming a farmer, merchant, adventurer and other occupation they want. That was special in New Noble. Some of the son and daughter in Old Noble join in by marriage to keep increasing this system.”

“Wow, that sounds good! I will become part of new noble systems when I become adult! And I will crush this old system!”

Lute was excited. He wanted to become like New Noble but he also complained about the Old Noble too. Lola just laughed when she saw her student’s reaction.

“Fufufu, you’ve already become one.”

“Eh!?”  Lute was shocked.

“It was your father, Wallen Dragoon. He is famous for being one of the nobles in New Noble system.”

“Ah, yeah, he always looks happy when he saw our relationship going well.”

“That’s all. I cannot say any more than this.”

“Yes, thank you, Lola-sensei!”

Lute nodded and Lola left the mansion while thinking what she should do for the next class for Lute.

 

Lute asked the maid to send the stationary to his room and hurried to meet Rosalin in the garden. Arriving in the garden, Lute saw Rosalin having snacks such as biscuits, cake and tea with Elizabeth.

Having snack at this time? Well, it’s almost time for lunch.

He went towards them as he thought that.

“Mommy Elly, you were here too?”

“Ara, Lute-kun. You’ve come at the right time; the delicious tea has just arrived. Shall we sit together?”

Lute welcomed by Elizabeth with smile.

“In that case, I will talk after I have received the tea!”

“Yes, please do”

“Then, please excuse me…..Mu…….This is very delicious tea”

“Ufufu, I’m glad to hear it. There is also cake, if you would like?”

“Yes, itadakimasu. Muuu….this is just so exquisitely delicious!”

“I’m so glad, we still have plenty more,” Elizabeth remarked happily.

“Thanks… So, why does Rosalin Nee-chan look so gloomy?”

Lute drank his tea as he noticed Rosalin who had been sipping her tea silently during the conversation, looking gloomy. Elizabeth just drank her tea calmly.

“Ah, don’t worry about it… she’s just having little problem with Aunt Flo and cousin Red who came to visit for the first time.”

Elizabeth said teasingly as she looked at her daughter.

“MOTHER! You promised not to say anything to Lute!”

Rosalin who have been silent the whole time grew mad at her mother’s words.

“Was I? Fufufu, but my dear, I’m not saying anything about ‘it’, right?”

Rosalin glared at her mother with tearful eyes as her mother kept teasing her.

“Uhm… Mommy Elizabeth…”

Lute watched the two before he finally asked.

“Yes, my dear, what is it?”

Elizabeth turned to Lute with a gentle smile.

“What does Aunt Flo and cousin Red came to visit means? Is that some kind of keywords or slang?”

Both Elizabeth and Rosalin fell silent at Lute’s question.

After the silence, Elizabeth opened her mouth.

“Mommy just to want to ask… You know what Slang is?”

“Uhn, so I was right.”

“Where did you learn that difficult word?”

“From Papa’s study room.”

“*Sigh… you really study hard, Lute-kun…  Good boy.”

Elizabeth could only sigh at her stepson being too smart while patting his head.

“Eheheh… So what does that mean, Mommy?”

“Erm… That’s…you know… hahah.”

Elizabeth was troubled over how to answer as she awkwardly looked away from Lute’s curious eyes.

“Mommy Elly?”

Lute was confused with his stepmother’s actions then turned his eyes to Rosalin.

Rosalin fidgeted and looked away to escape from Lute’s gaze, her face red.

Seeing their confusing actions and reluctance to answer his questions, Lute was annoyed by this. And then he thought of something and stood from his chair.

“Lute-kun?”

“I’m going to ask my mother!”

“Ehh!?”

Elizabeth panicked; she was told by Sheila that Lute still didn’t need sexual education as Lute’s curiosity was too strong, when Elizabeth ask why, Sheila just looked away in shame with red face which made her realized something off.

So if Lute went and asked Sheila, it’ll cause another problems.

“Wait!”

Before Elizabeth called Lute, Rosalin beat her to it.

“I will explain it so don’t go…”

Rosalin spoke as her face grew redder.

Lute sat again.

“What does that Slang mean?”

“Uhhh, It’s mean…I have my first menstruation…”

Rosalin’s voice was getting smaller and Lute barely heard that.

“What was that? I can’t hear you, Nee-chan.”

Lute said with an annoyed tone.

“It’s… my first….period….”Rosalin muttered with low voice

“Nee-chan, please speak louder, i can’t hear you”

Then Rosalin started crying.

“Uuuuuuu…..uwaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!”

“Wait!!! Why you crying!?!?” Lute panic

“But…..but!!! Lute is bullying me!!! Uuuuuwaaaaaaa!!!!”

“Eeeeh!? Me?!”

“Uuuuuwaaaaaaa!!!!”

“Fufufu, you sure are a naughty boy, bullying your sister.”

“Mommy Elly?! Ahh, what should I do?!”

Rosalin’s getting louder as Lute panicked, not knowing how to calm his sister while Elizabeth just watched this amusingly as she drank her tea.

After a while, Rosalin stopped crying as Elizabeth patted her head.

“*sob*……*sob*”

Then the servant who emerged from the mansion fell silent when she saw Elizabeth patting Rosalin. After blinking, the maid snapped out of her stupor and bowed her head. “I’m sorry! Did I come at a bad time?”

“Not at all,” Elizabeth assured her. Rising to her feet, she gently patted Rosalin’s shoulders before turning to Lute. “Lute, take care of your sister, okay? You’re a boy, so you need to learn how to protect her.”

“Yes, Mommy Elly. I will take care of her,” Lute promised. He watched as Elizabeth followed the maid back to the house, exchanging a few words urgently, before they disappeared through the door. Turning to Rosalin, he hugged her. “I’m sorry, Rosalin Nee-chan. I didn’t mean to make you cry.”

“No…it’s not your fault. You just wanted to know. I’m just so…so embarrassed!” Sniffling, Rosalin wiped the tears from her eyes and looked up dully. “I can never get married now…”

“Don’t…don’t worry!” Lute tried to fight down his panic. “If nobody takes you, Rosalin Nee-chan, then I will take care of you for the rest of your life!”

“…really?”

“Yes!”

“Will you take me as your wife if no one else does?”

“Yes, I promise!”

Lute firmly said that without hesitation. Rosalin sobbed into his chest as she hugged him. Lute continued to pat her head and smiled, pleased that Rosalin’s mood had somewhat improved.

“Hehehehe, thanks, Lute. You’re really the best.”

When she parted away, Lute saw a big smile on Rosalin’s face.

“No, I’m not really…do you feel better now?”

“A little.” Rosalin nodded. “But not completely.”

“Eh? Then how…”

“If you want to help me further, can you close your eyes?”

“Hmmmm? Okay.”

Lute didn’t hesitate and agreed immediately. When he closed his eyes, he felt someone hug him. A few seconds later, something pressed against his lips. After a few seconds, he began to think that it was taking a little too long so he opened his eyes and was taken aback. He did not know what Rosalin was doing. Lute still didn’t know this was called a kiss. For now he stayed silent and closed his eyes again. After that, Rosalin finally released him…

“Heheheh, I know you opened your eyes.”

Rosalin smiled with her face becoming red because she was blushing. Lute just smiled wryly.

“Hahaha, sorry.”

“This….please keep this a secret only for both of us, ok?”

“Yes.”

“Promise.”

“I promise I will never tell anyone,” Lute swore.

“Then let’s go back. it’s already sunset so we should go inside the mansion now.”

Both of them returned to mansion and like usual, Lute continued doing what he always did. Having dinner with family and finishing his homework.

 

The next day, he woke up earlier at 6am and took a bath then eat the breakfast that the maid prepared for him. After he was done, Lute walked to a certain place. It was the training ground which was the place he always went with his mother, Sheila, to practice her magic.

But this time, there was another person using it.

*bang*

*slash*

*gang*

It was Wallen. It had already become routine for him. Every day he would train to sharpen his skill. Since Lute became 7 years old, he always watching his father training.

Every day it became a routine for Lute too. The first day he saw his father training, Wallen suddenly called and and told him to practice with him. From that time onward, both of them started training with their sword.

Though mostly, Wallen always told Lute to Jogging, push-ups, sit-ups, and so on as warm up before they start sword training.

Lute’s primary training is to swing the sword and have a proper stance, he also learning footwork and shifting body weight properly as Wallen told Lute, It is important to start from the basics.

But, today is different, he would have Wallen as the opponent.

Lute gripped the wooden sword then he charged towards his father. Every slash and attack was blocked. Each step and action was observed by Wallen and then he would point out flaws such as “Put more strength into your grip.”, ” Observe your opponent calmly”, “Don’t rush” and other advice.

After 30 minutes, Lute was breathing roughly and today he still had not gotten a single hit.

“Good work there!”

“*pant*…..*pant* next time……haaaa….I will…..”

Wallen took the flask of water and passed it to Lute….

“Here, by the way, can we discuss something?”

“Thanks. Yeah, right now we still have some time before breakfast.”

“Hmmmmm you see, actually later on, once your private lesson ends, I have decided to send you to the school Rosalin is in.”

“I understand. From there I can learn many things. Thanks.”

“Of course, that’s what the heir of Dragoon need to do! To learn something new!”

Both of them stood up and went to the mansion for breakfast.

 

After that, at 10am today there was no class so Lute decided to follow his mother, Sheila.

“Lute, want to go shopping with me?”

“Ah, yes, let’s go!”

“My, my you really like going out, huh?”

Sheila told the maid to prepare the vehicle. When she walked outside there was already a carriage but it was totally different from original that need horse to move. It have been changed to 4 tires with a mana crystal ball to operate it. It operate like a vehicle called car from otherworlder’s world. Once they were in the carriage, it started to move toward the market district. That place was a little bit far from Wallen mansion. It took about 40 minutes. Lute saw that Sheila was happy.

“Mommy, you seem very happy.”

“Eh, nothing. Today I’m just happy I can go out for a while.”

Sheila was having a bright smile, which caused Lute to tilt his head. He knew that there was something else but he did not want to pry too deeply. They talked about Lute studying, training with his father and other topics.

After 10 minutes……

*growl*

“Urgh, hahahahaha!” Lute laugh awkwardly when his stomach growling

“*giggle* you are still hungry? I thought you already had breakfast earlier?”

“Yes, but I do not know why it is so sudden.”

Sheila giggled agan, amused at her son’s actions, but…

“Then, mommy…can I drink it?” Lute asked innocently.

“Eh?…….but…….you know……why not you hold it until we arrive at the market. We will buy the food there for you.”

Sheila was surprised by her son’s demand but she tried to not spoil him too much. Lute just nodded and looked down. Sheila was troubled when she saw her son’s sad expression. She knew that Lute was being spoiled so much by her. But she decided to keep quiet even though it was painful for her.

*growl*

*growl*

*growl*

*growl*

*growl*

“Uuuuuuuhhh…sorry, mommy I will hold it in,” Lute promised.

Lute’s stomach continued to produce the sound, which made him feel so bad. Sheila was having trouble too, but……

I do not know if it can work but I cannot bear it any longer!

“*sigh* Haaaa alright, come here and sit in mommy’s lap.”

“Eh? But…..”

“Just do it,” Sheila ordered.

Sheila raised her voice a little too strongly, which caused Lute to hastily sit on her lap. While she also lowered her cloth. Which exposed her white breast and her pink nipple. She knew there would be no milk coming out but she could not bear to see her son suffer. Lute closed his eye and just went to her breast and started sucking. Suddenly…

Eh? Ehhh!?!?!?! Why!? It come out!? There should be no milk in there but then why do I feel something coming out from it!?

Sheila was surprised while still patting Lute’s head to avoid his notice. She still could not figure it out but for now she decided to stay silent. She was having a rough time holding in her moan to avoid being heard by the driver.

As Lute kept sucking, he twisted his tongue around her nipple as it got hard.

“Ah—- !!!”

At that moment, Sheila let her moan out, She trembled as she pressing Lute’s gently against her plump breast.

Sheila blushed and stared at Lute with a troubled look. Her voice seemed to leaked out without she realizing it.

Sheila want reprimand him but she couldn’t. She knew that if she spoke, she would end up moaning again.

Lute sucked on her nipple for quite long until they drew near to the market district.

As Sheila and Lute arrived, the former was breathing roughly and sweating.

The driver saw her current state blushed before looking away.

Lute ask his mother worriedly, seeing that she was sweating and breathing roughly, almost as if she had just finished running a marathon.

“Mommy, are you okay?”

Sheila, who was still breathing roughly, finally replied, “Lute, next… time… Hah.. Please don’t that again.”

“Erm, Okay!”

Lute didn’t really understand but he agreed.

 

From there, Sheila bought so many things that made Lute excited as he saw many new things that he had never seen before. Toys, foods, books and other merchandise sold by merchants. He kept following Sheila while looking around relentlessly. Sheila just giggled when she looking at her son that walking beside her.

After that, like always, Lute did his routine until dinnertime.

“Rosalin, also Lute… We have something to tell you.”

Lute and Rosalin saw their father, Elizabeth and Sheila wearing serious expressions. The atmosphere made Lute and Rosalin a little bit scared. They wondered if there was a mistake they made, the secret being exposed and something else but suddenly Wallen grinned.

“Elizabeth and Sheila are pregnant. That means both of you will get two little brothers or sisters.”

“”Eh………..Really!?””Lute and Rosalin chorused in unison.

Elizabeth and Sheila smile and nodded.

“Yes, both of us have been pregnant,” Elizabeth confirmed.

“I never expected both of us to be pregnant at the same time.”

“”We cannot wait to see them Soon!”” Lute and Rosalin shouted.

“Eh?”

“Hue?” Rosalin cocked her head.

When they heard the news, they were so excited that they didn’t realize that they had said the exact same words at the same time. It ended up causing the others to laugh. Lute and Rosalin just looked down because of the embarrassment.

“Hahahahahaha, you two are too excited. Well, let’s celebrate. Eat as much as you guys want! Also I wanted to tell you guys. Remember, our family must support each other! Please keep that in mind.”

“ Yes, dear. I will keep that in mind.”

“Me too.”

“”Yaay ! Food!”” Lute and Rosalin shouted in joy.

That night, Wallen family was so happy with the newcomers to their family. Wallen, Elizabeth and Sheila discussed about their future family plan while Lute and Rosalin discussed what they wanted…little sister or brother, what they wanted to do with them when they grew up and etc.

After finishing supper, cleaning yourself, and heading to bed, you find Pocahontas standing near your door.

“Oh, hello, Pocahontas.” You say, not quite sure how to deal with the woman you haven’t really formed any kind of relationship with yet.

“Mm.” Pocahontas merely nods with a stoic expression.

Supposedly, she wants you to save the elves somehow, although you have yet to hear the details. Still, you want to enjoy some chocolate elf, and that means you need to fulfill her wish. Speaking of wish, Megara seems to have included Pocahontas on your list as the next person.

“That’s right. With Florian gone, I wasn’t sure how you would feel. So far, I’ve mostly just been giving the girls whatever they wanted. Is there anything you want to do tomorrow?”

“Mm.” Pocahontas nods again. “My ‘date’ can be fulfilled tonight if my benefactor is willing.”

“Oh, so you can say more than a few words.”

“I only speak when necessary.”

“Ah… alright. So, what do you want me to do.”

“Impregnate me.”

“Sorry?” you cock your head in surprise. “What did you say?”

“Put your seed in me and make me with child.”

“Okay.”

You open the door and let Pocahontas in. Deciding to have a baby might be considered an important decision, but your first two children were created with not much more thought than this. Pocahontas is an attractive elf, and you don’t have any half-elf children. Of course, the baby will be a half dark-elf hotty like her mother. You can’t wait to meet the child you just concocted in your head.

“Take off your clothing and lie on the bed.” Pocahontas orders.

You’re a little surprised by the firmness in her voice, but you decide to do what she says, because it’s kind of hot. Then she pulls out rope ties. Perhaps Pocahontas is surprisingly kinky. She straps your arms to the head of the bed.

“Then, let us begin,” Pocahontas declares as she fiddles with something from her dresser.

She pulls back her robe, and the clothing falls to the floor, unveiling the backside of her naked form. You eye her curvy brown ass excitedly. She finally turns around and starts approaching the bed. Her brown nipples and round breasts are perfect. But wait, what’s the between her legs? She seems to be wearing a large black strap-on. She immediately gets on her knees between your legs, holding the dildo while coming towards you.

“Uh? What the fuck is that?”

The back of a hand slaps you across the face. You aren’t hurt, but it is so sudden you’re a little confused.

“Shut up, you bitch.” Pocahontas speaks in the same emotionless droll she usually speaks. “Take my dick.”

“Hey! No! Why are you lifting my legs. Hey! Get that fucking thing away from my butthole!”

“Shut the fuck up, you whore. This mistress is going to turn you into her little bit—-aaaahhh you’re twisting my nipple, you’re twisting my nipple!”

You easily rip through the restraints with your maxed stats and grab her chest and twist. “I said, get that fucking thing away from my butt, bitch!”

“I’m confused!” Pocahontas truly looks confused a she grimaces in pain, her nipple twisted 180 degrees in your fingers. “I’m supposed to be the one delivering pain. You’re backwards.”

“Aren’t you just a sadist then?”

“But my benefactor said he want to have sex!”

“This ain’t sex! How are you going to make a baby this way?” You growl, finally letting go of her nipple as she pulls away.

Pocahontas rubs her sore nipple with a pout, “I don’t understand. I was trained properly by the matriarch herself. Dark elves are a female dominated society. They say the more pain a man feels, the more likely a woman will become pregnant.”

“What the fuck? How are you going to get pregnant if I don’t stick it in?”

“Huh? Stick what in?”

“My dick!”

“You mean that useless thing on men? How would you even accomplish this? It’s all soft and flabby.”

“It gets hard!”

“The female phallus’ I made is harder. It’s custom for every woman when she reaches fertile age to make her own. We model them after this phenomenon you speak of, but dark elf men are never hard for women.”

“You’re fucking kidding me.” I respond in disbelief.

“Well, you’re not even hard, right?”

“That’s because you were going to stick it in my ass!”

Pocahontas cocks her head to the side. “I don’t understand. We’ve seen dark elf men get hard for each other and stick them in each other’s butts. So, we crafted this erect dicks and do the same. But they show no interest in their wives. It’s why we must be so forceful.”

You put your palm on your face and sigh, “Pocahontas, please don’t tell me the problem the dark elves are facing that will wipe them out is…”

Pocahontas nods. “We struggle to get pregnant. Ever since the matriarch went into power, pregnancies have been lowering, and now only one or two babies are born a year. In a few decades, all dark elves will be gone. We have heard the seed of heroes are strong. Even if you could just impregnate me, it would go a long way to saving our people.”

You feel like banging your head on a wall as you figure out this incredibly stupid predicament. So, basically, a matriarchy came into power that debased and emasculated the men. Their fertility decreased, causing the women to become more aggressive to the point of sadism. Eventually taking enough abuse, the entire male dark elf population turned homosexual. Eventually, the population completely forgot how to even have proper sex to make babies. The few babies made are probably by accident. The guy cums in another guys ass right before his wife takes him and a little bit of semen gets in from the dildo, or maybe some guys can cum from anal and then it drips onto her. The point being, it’s a rare accident.

“Hey, Pocahontas, I think I understand things now.”

“It is good that you understand my people’s predicament. Now please bend over.” Pocahontas says while grabbing the strap on excitedly.

“No! I mean, rather, I have a surefire method to make a baby, but you’ll need to do things my way!”

“Very well, I will try anything to become pregnant. Please do so.”

“Okay then! First!” You stand up, letting your cock come to full attention.

Even the threat of surprise anal wasn’t enough to permanently kill your erection. She is still hot and naked and even the strap on has a lesbian appeal that arouses you to erection. Pocahontas gasps in astonishment

“It’s erect! The other women living here suggested this was possible, but I thought it was embellished. Truly it must take a hero to be able to become erect at the sight of this naked body.” Pocahontas pushes her tits together as she says this, a sight that only engorges your dick and excites you even more.

Still, Pocahontas shows a surprising humility, seemingly unaware at the extreme sexual appeal she has considering the past failure of her fellow dark elves. Being surrounded by gay dark elves, she had gotten the impression she wasn’t attractive.

“Mm… and for this, I will penetrate you.”

“That tiny thing? I won’t even feel it.”

“Tiny!”

Pocahontas looks away. “I’m sorry… those are the lines the matriarch tells me to say. But that things is humungous, I can’t belittle it with a straight face. I’m afraid it will tear me apart.”

“Those are exactly the words I wanted to hear.”

“I-is that so? Pocahontas put a slightly cute shy look for the first time under your hungry eyes. “None dark elves are so strange.”

You scratch your chin. “I’m not so sure about that, but I can guarantee you one thing.”

“Yes, my benefactor.” Pocahontas looks up at you with pleading eyes.

“I’m going to stick a baby in you.”

“I will happily receive it.”

“You’re leaving already?” I asked, stretching out my naked body seductively on the small bed.

The sheets were rough against the skin, but for someone who had been sleeping on the dirt for the last couple of weeks, even this bed was comfortable. My eye’s peaked around the room once again. It was smaller than before. I could see bars across one wall. The toilet had moved to the corner of my room and was no longer made from porcelain, but cheap iron. Despite those changes, the floor still looked like carpet, and I could still see my stuffed animals and a window leading to the outside.

As I slept with the dream demon, enjoying another bout of amazing sex, the illusions started melting away. They hadn’t dissipated entirely, but it was enough that I got a good idea of the living conditions I was in.

Meanwhile, the man I had slept with was hastily putting his clothing back on. “I, uh… shouldn’t have come back here. The elder’s said…”

“The world is melting.” I casually interrupted him.

I didn’t use any of my skills consciously on him. I could have thrown seductions and Eye of the Beholders at him. He, just as likely, could have deflected them. However, I didn’t feel like this was necessary. Something deep down inside me told me that control wasn’t so simple as forcing absolute loyalty or magically manipulating someone’s mind. I remembered what forcing control got me, a Kappa with his brain splattered on a tree trunk.

“Huh? Oh, yes, the illusions. Without mastery over dreams, the visual and auditory hallucinations we gave you start to break down.”

“Is that so?” I asked, having guessed most of that already. “I would have thought illusions were quite deadly.”

“That… depends. Few species are as good with illusion magic as the cambions. We pride ourselves on that, but even we have limitations. We can alter our appearances. We can change perception. But, a trained mind can push through those setbacks. That’s why we have to keep our guests in a half-sleeping state. Trained warriors could break the illusions instantly.”

“But, couldn’t an illusion at just the right moment be a powerful weapon? A sword being two inches to the right of where you see it can be the difference between life and death.” As I spoke, the man was already shaking his head.

“The mind is very good at resisting changes. While someone is experiencing something, illusion magic can’t affect it. For example, if I wanted you to see me taller, I would have to leave your view or somehow make you look away from me. When you looked back, I’d be taller. However, even then, you remember me being shorter and the illusion will quickly break. For it to work best, you’d never see me before, having no reference for my appearance. Then, the illusion magic would continue to work.”

I nodded slowly. None of this was new information to me. Illusion magic had been one of the things I studied when trying to figure out how to class up. I had read about it’s many many limitations. He had only touched the tip of the iceberg. There were various other issues. For example, resistance items for illusion magic were relatively easy to make, and any adventurer worth using illusion magic on likely had a means of resisting it. Furthermore, most warriors didn’t depend on sight to fight. Even if you could alter his perception, most warriors fought on instinct.

Knowing all that, the reason I asked him had little to do with wanting to know more about illusion and more to do with keeping him talking. He seemed freely willing to discuss things when I asked questions. Asking questions kept him in the room. It allowed me to continue to gain his trust and comfort.

“Hey, Peers.”

“Ye-yeah…” He suddenly blushed, lowering his head.

I looked down as well, forcing myself to ask the question I was avoiding. “My friend. The elf. Is she… alive?”

There was a brief silence before he spoke. “I’m… not sure. I need to go.”

I had suspected that asking that question would lead to a quick end to our conversation. As Peers walked to the cell door and opened it, the illusion magic completely dissipated. He likely had released whatever magic was affecting my vision. I was now undeniably in a cell. For what it was worth, I could locate the wash basin now. As the cell door shut and he walked off, only glancing back once before he was out of sight down the hallway, I laid back in my somewhat itchy bed and sighed.

“Min…”

I had decided to let Min go. She was too good for me anyway. However, letting Min go didn’t mean I didn’t want to know she was safe. Of course, the answer to that question was simple. Min was a previous lover of mine. The Stalker ability could quickly and easily ascertain her situation. If it worked, she was alive. If it didn’t work, she was dead. So, why didn’t I use it?

If I used the skill and it didn’t work, what would I do? I’d know for certain that Min was dead. Would I sink into despair? Would I spend the next month barely eating and crying every night? No, the thing I feared the most wasn’t how I would react. I feared that when it was all done, I wouldn’t react. What if I felt nothing? This world broke me. My high mental resistance made the horrors of this world palpable. Any normal woman would, at the very least, suffer from PTSD if not become a gibbering mess. I recognized this. I recognized my thoughts were no longer normal.

So, how did I truly feel about Min? Had I just used her all of this time to escape any personal responsibility. Would I truly care when she was gone? Those were answers I didn’t want to find. Those were thoughts I didn’t want to have.

“Is she a friend?”

The words weren’t my own. They came through the wall. It was a lot easier to tell now that there was a cell next to mine, and this woman appeared to be in the neighboring cell.

“She was… someone who was left behind.” I hesitantly responded, not wanting to explain myself.

“I understand.” The woman through the wall responded.

I breathed a sigh of relief. At the very least, with this stranger, she understood the desire to keep to yourself. At the very least, I had someone to talk to. We didn’t speak of anything  of much importance. She told me of how she had come to this place. She had been out picking herbs when an monster attacked. Her protective brother told her to run. He had promised he would find her. He didn’t.

She had become lost and nearly starved. Upon collapsing after a week of exposure, it was then that the cambions came. At first, she had thought they were her saviors. She had shouted for them to come to her. Then she had realized they were cambions. At that point, she was too weak to resist. She ended up being dragged back to their village.

She hadn’t said the cambion colony was a village, but I quickly gained the understanding that cambions were just as capable as demons or humans. It was clear by the way she and Peers talked that they had built a small secluded village in the forest, only feeding off scraps they could catch nearby. Scraps being people like me and her. Nearly dead, unconscious people who might have died in the wilderness if we hadn’t been saved by them.

Did that mean Min was also being fed on at the moment? No, I couldn’t think about that. The temptation to use Stalker returned when I thought about it. How would I react if I saw through Min’s eyes as she was being ravaged by some incubus? Well, as long as there was doubt, I didn’t have to face that dilemma.

Instead, I decided to simply worry about myself right now. Of course, I tried to provide the woman in the wall Eva some emotional support as well. At the very least, she staved off some of the boredom I was feeling trapped in this cell. But talking to her sometimes made me feel a bit like a sociopath. As she cried about the horribleness she endured, I struggled to empathize with her. The acts she depicted as horrifying were the same acts I enthusiastically enjoyed. It became difficult to understand each other on a fundamental level when we saw the world so differently. In the end, I realized I was only acting sympathetic. The feelings just weren’t there.

At some point a man came to deliver food. The food wasn’t particularly impressive. The illusion likely improved on it greatly. It was some thickened soup made to fill someone up. I decided one of my next steps here would be improving my food situation. Like Peers, the man was extremely attractive to look at. Unlike Peers, when I gave him a flirtatious smile he only responded with a snort.  It seemed like he was aware that I was no longer under the affects of the illusion.

When he headed to the cell next to mine, I heard the rattle of keys and the door being opened. For me, there was a slot he slid the food into, so the difference immediately caught my interest.

“No, no, no, no, no!” A woman was screaming.

It was of course Eva. I couldn’t see what was going on, but I could hear the ruffle of sheets and ragged breaths as she kicked and resisted. There was a thump as the bed was forcibly shoved, and then all I could hear were her whimperings. It was hardly the hard-thrusting sex I was used to. It was quiet, muffled, and reserved. It was the sound of an unwilling woman being raped.

I fell down to my butt, my food untouched. Missing the bed, I ended up landing on the dirt floor. Tears fell down my face as I silently cried. However, I didn’t cry because of the trauma. I cried because I felt no trauma at all. Rape is horrifying? Mental fortitude stole that away from me. I cried because a woman nearby was being raped, and I felt nothing. No, feeling nothing would be considered a blessing. I felt excited. People next to me were having sex, and my impulses responded with sexual excitement. I was wet, and horny, and I wanted to touch myself while listening to the ragged breathing being shared by the two people next to me. The only reason I didn’t was because the thought disgusted me too much. At least, I hadn’t crossed that line yet.

However, I wasn’t horrified by these acts in the slightest. In fact, I felt sympathy for the monsters who needed the sex to live. That was what horrified me. I frightened myself.

“That’s right… I’m no longer human.” I whispered to myself.

I spoke to this woman. I tried to sympathize with her. However, I wasn’t like her anymore. I was like the cambions. I was like a sex demon. Even speaking to her had only been to satisfy my own boredom. Nothing I did came from compassion or love anymore. I had sex more than anyone, but at this moment, I realized I had lost the capacity to feel love.

“I hate this world.” I muttered as the man finished up and the cell door creaked open and locked shut.

This world had broken me. I had accepted that since the first week in the goblin cave. However, the extent of my broken nature was starting to come crashing home. It only reinforced that this village might very well be the place I deserved to be. This was my home.

A few hours later, Peers had returned. I wore a smile on my face as I greeted him and the pair of us fell back on my bed. I ignored the reality that I was extremely turned on by the time he arrived because of the noises of sex I had to listen to. We had incredibly sex again, and he left. This started to become a routine.

His visits continued on for nearly a week. I occasionally asked him more about the village and he spoke reservedly. He didn’t mention Min and I didn’t ask. He also started to come with better food. Vegetables, fruit, and decent stews that made me look forward his visits for more than just good sex. He started coming three times a day, and the worry that furrowed his brow the first couple of days started to disappear. Instead, his lips started to match my smile.

Occasionally, I would talk to Eva. However, she seemed to grow more and more silent as the week went on. Every day during the handing of lunch, she would face the rape from that man. It seemed like each succubus fed from the same person. As I could hear their acts, she could likely hear me with Peers too. The difference between our encounters were so vast, it was a wonder that she hadn’t grown more suspicious earlier. Clearly, we weren’t the same. Did she think I was insane? However, she didn’t ask me about my behavior, and I didn’t ask her about hers. It was a place where everyone kept their secrets, and it suited me just fine.

Then one day, Peers didn’t come. I had been dumping my gruel soup away and had been depending on Peers entirely for meals. So, as a result, I hadn’t eaten all day. My stomach growled uncomfortably as night started to set in. My neighbor cried herself to sleep without talking to me, and I was pacing back and forth in the room, a little concerned that the last week with Peers had amounted to nothing. I had hoped the trust would build to the point where I could leave my cell soon.

That was when the door suddenly opened and Peers walked in. He looked haggard and messy, his expression slightly panicked. I looked on in shock as he ran up to me and grabbed my shoulders.

“What? What is it?” I asked worriedly.

“We have to go.”

“What?” I was surprised my thoughts so closely matched what he said.

“I’m helping you escape. We have to leave now.”

“Now? Why, what happened?”

“We’ll talk later, here take this.” Peers pushes a robe at me with a hood that would cover my face and immediately starting pacing impatiently. “Put it on.”

“Alright.” I responded, starting to put the robe on over the raggy clothing that they had provided me. “But, if we’re leaving… Peers, is Min okay?”

Peers’ pacing immediately stopped and his expression fell. “The elf? We… we found an elf not far from where you were picked up. She was badly wounded. The council decided to feed on her before she died. Aria, I’m so sorry. The elf didn’t make it. She’s dead.”

I froze. “Oh.”

“So… anyway, that’s how Mulan’s sister ended up moving in with us.” You explain.

“Mm!” Mushu says in agreement as she rubs herself against Mulan.

You’re all back at the mansion eating dinner together. Mulan’s date ended rather abruptly, but she seems happy enough. Well, right after the date, things got a little uncomfortable for a bit…

“Master… if you really loved me you’d get rid of my sis-“

“Hey, Mulan, if you really loved me you’d have a threesome with me in your sister!”

“Guh!” Mulan looks like she’s been struck in the stomach. “Using my clever argument against me.”

“I wouldn’t call it clever. I gave you one because it was our day. Every bitch gets one.”

“I’m sorry master, I thought you’d kill father and I was desperate!”

“What kind of person do you think I am?”

“I was reading the comments section and-“

“Don’t you know not the read those!” You explain and then sigh, completely understanding why Mulan would carry such worries about your personality. “Besides, where did you come up with such a cliched bullshit line anyway?”

“Well, Megara told me-“

“Nevermind, the white-hot flash of rage that just shot through me tells me you shouldn’t complete that sentence.”

“A-are you mad?” Mulan asks, her head lowered.

“At Megara? That fucking girl doesn’t know the difference between bad attention and good attention as long as she gets attention. The best course of action is to just ignore her… for now.”

“I-I meant me…” Mulan says quietly.

“Well, there is one way to make amends.” You glance over at the person sitting next to her, who is current rubbing her chin on Mulan’s thigh.

“Hm? Me?” Mushu straightens with a confused look.

“is incest the only way to satisfy my master?” Mulan asks tearfully.

“Is he suggesting we should have sex? Here? Now?” Mushu perks up immediately, drool starting to come out of her mouth.

“It’s incest when it’s just the two of you. But if you both fuck me, then it’s just a threesome with sisters. Not taboo at all.” You explain.

“Don’t say those things to my sister, she’s very trusting and easily manipulated.” Mulan growls, but curiosity overtook her sense and so she asks suspiciously. “Does it really work that way?”

“The internet doesn’t lie.”

“I don’t really get it,” Mushu speaks up. “But are you saying if I sleep with you I can do this and that with my sister and no one would thing me weird?”

“There is nothing strange about two sisters enjoying the same man, so sayeth the porn hub.”

“V-very well.” Mulan mutters, “I suppose if it’s masters want, then I can’t fight it.”

You smile as you remember that incredible night with sister dragons. However, it’s now morning and you are enjoying breakfast, and if anyone else think it’s a cop out so the author doesn’t have to write a sex scene he doesn’t feel like writing right now, no shit Sherlock. You’ll get a hot one next chapter, just hold your dicks.

“Psst…” Someone is crouched next to Mushu, taping on her shoulder. “Psst…”

“What?” Mushu looks over to see Belle standing there, staring at the pair of them, Mulan wrapped in Mushu’s embrace.

“S-so… it seems like you are someone whom also likes women. Perhaps, you’d like to talk with a like-minded strong female type or maybe if you feel like it we can enjoy each other’s company.” Belle says with lustful eyes.

Mushu’s expression goes completely cold as she stares at Belle like dirt. “Go die!”

“Guh! Why do you say that? You’re rubbing that woman in a sexual manner right now!”

Mushu rolls her eyes like the answer is obvious. “This is my sister. I love my sister. It’s not about male or female, it’s about someone who shares a part of me! A pervert like you wouldn’t understand!”

“I understand, I do! Mulan is a very attractive woman. Sometimes, I imagine her, gah, my eyes! Why did you just poke my eyes?”

“Unsee my sister with your filthy eyes you creepy tinycon.”

“Tinycon! You’re touching her privates right now as we talk!”

“This is sister love. Why are you too stupid to get this! Sister love transcends age. It transcends sex. You on the other hand look at my sister with nasty lecherous eyes. Be gone!”

“You bitch! What about that beast? Shouldn’t he get the same treatment?”

“M-my lord!?” Mushu looks away with a blush on her cheeks. “He’s an exception.”

“You…”

“My sister smells beautiful, and feels soft. No one but her closest sister should be allowed to touch her-“

“Mmm… she does smell good and she really is soft!” Ariel says in agreement.

“Eh?” Mushu looks to the other side of Mulan to find another woman sitting against her other arm.

She was just as close to Mulan as Mushu was, rubbing her face against Mulan with an extreme familiarity.

“This reminds me of when I helped hero pop her cherry, she squirmed and cried but in the end she really liked it.”

“Wh-who are you!?” Mushu asks in a fluster.

“I’m your sister Ariel!” Ariel gives a beaming smile.

“Si-sister? What is this?” Mushu looks taken aback.

“All the girls here are my sisters. We’re all heros, and we’re all each others. We’re family! Mulan has been my sister the longest!”

“Wh-what? Well, Mulan has been my sister the longest too!” Mushu responds defensively.

“Really!” Ariel looks extremely excited, reaching across Mulan, who seems to have sunken into her own little world of despair in a desperate attempt to escape reality, grabbing onto Mushu’s hands.

“Then we must share! You must have some wonderful stories about Mulan. I really want to hear them!”

Mushu puffs up her chest. “Why… of course, I know her best.”

“Mm!” Ariel nods. “Isn’t it crazy that she’s really sensitive right under her elbow?”

“Wh-what!?”

“And she doesn’t like you to stick your tongue in her pussy, she prefers it if you flick it in a circle around the clit.”

“Haaaaah?”

“But you know all that, right! Right, Mulan?” Ariel turns to the dead-eyed Mulan who doesn’t respond. “Oh, she gets like this. Keeps trying to escape reality. You got to touch her right here-“

“Ergegegger!” Mulan sudden twitches when Ariel reaches down and touches her some place between the legs, “What? Oh, Pun! What am I looking at? Ariel and my sister are holding hands! Did I die and go to the bad place? Why has Pun forsaken me?”

“That way, she remains aware of everything you’re doing and can enjoy every second!” Ariel finishes excitedly, ignoring Mulan’s existential crisis.

“By Pun, all along I thought I truly knew my sister, but in the end, I am but the disciple.”

“Th-this can’t be happening!” Mulan starts crying as she stares between the two star-eyed girls.

Mushu leans forward too, her boob slugging Mulan in the chin. “Ariel… no…. big sister Ariel! Please, teach me about every nook and cranny of my sister!”

“What? You treat your big sister Belle so poorly and then let Ariel do whatever? This is bullshit!” Belle cries out. “You know what? Fuck all you bitches, I’m going to go to my room and rub one out. You all can go suck a dick!”

Belle storms off into the other room, but Ariel and Mushu barely acknowledge her in their own excitement.

“Let’s get started now!” Ariel says. “Come, Mulan, we need you as the reference so I can show your sister all the things that make you go crazy.”

“What? What! Unhand this mighty dragon! No! Stop!”

The two girls grab Mulan by either arm and start dragging her back into Ariel’s bedroom. Desperately, Mulan struggles against the two women. Eventually, she turns back, shooting you a look of despair.

“Please, master!” Mulan gives a desperate cry to you. “If you ever loved me, save me from this!”

Everyone turns to you a second as you sit their drinking from you cup in silence.

Finally, you speak several cold words in a light tone. “Mulan… what did I tell you earlier?”

“Master…”

“Say the words…”

Mulan looks down sadly. “… bitches only get one.”

“Bingo.”

All the life went out of Mulan as the pair turned away and drag her back into their room, the door shutting behind them.

“He killed the dragon king, kill him!” shouts one of the young dragons.

“What the fuck! That was a match! Were you always going to attack me no matter who won?”

“This is this and that is that!” Another says as all of the remaining dragons turn into their dragon forms. “He was protecting Mushu who you attacked to kill!”

“Mushu attacked me first!” You shout back.

“You’ll burn for this!” The dragon roars, fifteen dragons suddenly launching at you.

“Mulan, what the hell is this?”

“They’re frenzying! It’s the shock of seeing father hurt!” Mulan responds, her body exploding into a dragon form.

“You bastards!” You turn back into your dragon form just as fifteen dragons leap at you.

Mulan grabs one by the back of the leg and tosses him into the side of the crater. “Damn it, you idiots, listen to this great one. Get off my master!”

However, she can’t stop it. You are going to have to start hurting her dragon colony. Oh well-

“STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!” A high-pitched voice explods with enough power to shake the very ground.

The dragons immediately scatter, parting ways for the source of the voice. That voice is surprisingly Mushu’s. He is still in dragon form too, his father having absorbed the hit from your attack. Still as he approaches you, you can see one leg limping, so he must have been hurt. His eyes are unreadable as he watches you while approaching. He is large and powerful, easily as big as you. It is clear that he outpowers all the other dragons here, including Mulan.

“Mushu, don’t do this!” Mulan cries out, trying to block Mushu despite her worry.

Mushu stops, lifting a single clawed hand up, and patting the smaller dragon on the head. Then he takes a few more steps before you, and bowed.

“Huh?” You say in surprise of the golden dragon bowing on the ground. “What?”

“Please.” The dragon looks up at you with tearful eyes. “Please save daddy!”

“Daddy!”

“Mushu, don’t lower yourself to this man!” One of the dragons cries angrily.

Mushu ignores the dragon, immediately grabbing onto you looking up with tearing eyes. Please, it’s my fault. I’ll do anything! Save my daddy!”

“Anything?” you let the words out in surprise.

“Mushu, don’t make those kind of promises to this man, he’s devious!” Mulan declares.

You shoot Mulan a dirty look. What is she talking about? You can make this brother go away forever and never have to deal with him. It isn’t like you’ll torture him or anything. What kind of guy does she think you are? However, as you stare at Mushu, he suddenly backs away covering his chest and gasping.

“So, you want… that…” Mushu finally sighs and lowers his hands. “Very well, I’ll give myself to you if you save my father.”

“Outrageous.” One of the dragons calls out.

“No! Mushu! He’s mine! You can’t have him!” Mulan shouts.

“Just what kind of guy do you think I am!” You voice out. “Look, I’ll fix your dad. We’ll worry about the details later. Can you do something about your brother?”

“Huh? Brother?” Mulan gives a confused look.

Mushu lets go of you with a flustered look of his own. He really is clingy. You turn yourself back into your normal human form and the others follow suite. Upon walking the distance to where Fa Zhou’s body is, you kneel down next to him. He looks bloodied and beaten.

“I’m sorry I killed you. I’ll make it better.”

“I’m not dead, you idiots!” Fa Zhou’s eyes open and he gives an annoyed growl.

“Father!”

“Daddy!”

The two children of Fa Zhou run up behind you. He looks over and rolls his eyes, looking even more tired.

“Ugh… you two idiot children think a weak blow like that can take out the great dragon king! Just give me 10 or 20 years and I’ll be back to peak fighting condition!”

“He calls being laid out for 20 years a weak hit?” You mutter wryly.

“Haha! Well, it’s not as if I wouldn’t appreciate being healed though.”

“Yeah, yeah, here you go!” You wave your hand, and in an instant the color starts returning to his face.

You even clean off the dirt. Speaking of which, you’re still very naked too. You wave your hands again, cleaning your own body and Mulans, putting you both into your respective clothing of choice.

“So cool!” Mushu mutters as he looks tearfully down between you and his dad.

Fa Zhou stands up a moment later, brushing himself of while eying you and his children before sighing. “You so casually use magic that normal people would consider impossible. You truly are a hero.”

“I don’t really see myself as any kind of hero. I’m just doing what comes naturally, I guess.”

“Is that so?” The man says thoughtfully while stroking his chin. “In that case, I see no other choice than to leave my children in your care.”

“Father!” Mulan says excitedly, then the color drains. “What do you mean, children! Both? No! No, not Mushu!”

“Yes! I get to be with my sister and the man I gave myself to!” Mushu suddenly realizes you’re looking at him incredulously and he straightens and bows with a blush on his face. “Please accept me.”

“Accept you! What the heck are you talking about? I don’t want him.”

Fa Zhou nods. “That’s why I know you’re the right one for her.”

“Ah… master… uh…”

“P-p-perhaps this will answer your question.” Mushu declares, leaping at you.

Before you can even react, his lips touch your own. Frozen in your own horror, it takes a second to realize his lips are really soft. And he smells really good. And that’s not the only soft thing. A warm, soft pillow is pressed up against your chest, creating a barrier between you and him. You’re confused, so you pull out a hand and squeeze.

“Ee…” A very feminine voice moans as the lips leave yours and Mushu’s form pulls back, covering her chest.

Except it wasn’t Mushu standing there. Yeah, she had some of Mushu’s feature like long golden hair, but it was very curly now. She had golden reptilian eyes like all dragons. She also had a pair of tits the size of Kidas. Although where Kida was very tall, so the boobs balanced her size, Mushu was just all curves. Her looks were absolutely stunning, the kind of looks that would make any chin drop at the sight. Although Mulan was also beautiful, her body was very flat. This was a body made to be played with, but unlike the Cinderella sex doll, was proportioned as if a deity had made her to perfect specifications.

She blushed, giving you a look that made your heart race. “You already wish to touch those. O-our future husband, sister, is very forceful… It’s cool!”

“It’s not cool! You can’t share him! He’s mine!”

“Wait, what the heck is going on here?” You demand.

“Ah… I was going to mention it earlier.” Mulan snaps her fingers. “I thought you already knew, but I don’t have any brothers.”

“What Mulan means is that she is my adorable, sexy sister!” Mushu declares, grabbing Mulan and immediately hugging her tightly while rubbing her cheek on the top of Mulan’s head.

Mushu is about a head taller than Mulan, and her massive chest engulfs Mulan’s head.

“I’m in my own personal hell.” The muffled words come from Mushu’s chest.

“It’s okay!” Mushu pulls Mulan out of her chest. “I’ve got big enough boobs for both of us!”

“Guh!”

“You’re still my beautiful sister. Please make love to me!”

“Get away you creepy siscon!”

“Why is Mulan always rejecting my love!”

“Shut up, you cow sister!”

“Y-you know, maybe if you suck on my breasts you’ll grow big breasts too.”

Mulan stops for a second, the temptation overriding her sense for a moment, and then looks at Fa Zhou.” I-is that true?”

Fa Zhou gives the same tired expression and shakes his head. “No, of course not.”

Mulan turns back to Mushu. “You liar!”

“Rats! Daddy, can’t you just lie once for your daughter!”

“I hate you!” Mulan punches with all her force into Mushu’s chest.

Her massive boobs take the entire impact and reflects it. Mulan ends up going flying into the crater wall.

“Oh, sister. Come here, I’ll fix you!”

“Stay away!”

The pair end up racing around the crater while the onlooking dragons all scratch their necks and avert their eyes, clearly used to this kind of behavior.

“I don’t get it,” You say to Fa Zhou who is standing right next to you. “I thought you said you couldn’t find her a suitor.”

“I can’t.” Fa Zhou laughs. “You’ve seen her personality. The only guys who would take her as a bride only want her for her body, and those are the guys I’m not okay with. Plus, she’d be miserable that way. I had hoped as soon as her sister matured I could send her off for marriage. As soon as I started considering marriage partners for Mulan she started using glamour magic to look like a guy and claiming she was the best fit to marry Mulan. In the end, Mulan ran away, and rather than distance helping, it only made Mushu more desperate.

“To be honest, I didn’t know what I was going to do. You’ve really help- I mean, ahem, it would be my honor to hand my daughters over to you.”

“Aren’t you just dumping your problem children on me?”

“Haha. Speaking of which, as you are the hero, our clan will be happy to follow you in the future.”

“You’re just trying to avoid the issue!”

“Do you mind if our colony relocates to your territory?”

You finally give a sigh. “Yes, I guess. Everyone is welcome in Riun. Just don’t go around scaring people in your dragon forms.”

Fa Zhou nods and holds out his hand. “Very well. In that case, please look after my daughters.

You grab his hand. “Can you at least not look so relieved as you say that?”

Boom! Thud! Crack! Boom!

The sounds of a horrific battle echo throughout the land. Nearby monster flee in terror as the sounds shake the earth and fierce surges of magical power threaten to overwhelm the very air itself. However, anyone who saw the fight would call it incredibly one sided.

A powerful looking old man leapt 100 meters into the air, hitting another man directly in the face. He then grabbed the man’s foot, tossing him to the ground with full forth, creating yet another of the dozen or so craters that lined the mountainside. He lands with his fists out, propelling his body with a magical surge that creates an avalanche. He manages to jump away just as a thousand tons of rock and dirt falls, burying the newly formed crater and the man at its epicenter.

“Hah, hah, hah…” the old man gasps for breath, sweat running down his face.

There are a few moments of complete quiet once the avalanche settles. Then, a fist suddenly punches out from the rock, and a form pulls themselves from the dirt. That form is a very naked you. Of course, you are covered in so much dirt and mud now that it could constitute as clothing.

“We done yet?” You ask arrogantly.

“You bastard!” the line came from Mushu who was waiting on the sidelines. “You dare humiliate father like this! I’ll kill you myself.”

“It is clear that your defense is top notch.” The old man regains his demeanor, once again holding up a hand to silence Mushu. “But is your offense enough to defeat me?”

“Easily…”

“Liar! No one can be so strong in defense and offense simultaneously!” Mushu insists. “You must have put all of your efforts into defense magic to trick us!”

“No! Father, it’s true. Master is truly strong. That’s why…” Mulan stops for a second, but then steps forward with a pleading look. “That’s why father must stop this folly.”

“If you can so easily defeat me.” The old man asks. “Then why have you held back?”

“It’s simple. I told Mulan today was her day. Mulan asked me not to fight you.  So, I won’t.”

“I was expecting you to not budge when he hit you! Why are you flying all over the place!”

“Because it’d be meaningless if I didn’t struggle. This is Mulan I’m fight for, I can take at least this much for her.” You shoot Mulan a thumbs up.

“B-b-baka!” Mulan calls, turning away in a blush. “I-it’s not like I think that’s really cool or anything.”

“She totally does!” Mushu shouts, “She smells really excited right now!”

“Quit smelling me you creep!” Mulan shouts back.

You hide a grimace at your little lie. Well, it was a partial truth, at least. You didn’t want to admit the real reason your body was flying around. It was because the so-called dragon king was really really strong. Even with maxed stats, you’ve found some issues. Specifically, you’re a human. Humans have a limit. Well, all creatures do, it’s just that a dragon’s upper limit is higher than your own. True, you could block Fa Zhou’s strikes, and not move an inch. However, if you did that, you’d be absorbing 100% of his blow. It wouldn’t kill you, but it word hurt like a motherfucker. Like a car’s crumple zone, you’ve found flying back and embedding yourself into dirt diminishes the force of impact far below your defensive ability. Standing still, you could take maybe twenty minutes of punishment before you collapse, but being tossed around didn’t hurt a bit.

“Even for love…” Fa Zhou broke off the bickering siblings. “Do you think you can keep up with this forever?”

“Well, I have been draining your stamina, so the question is, can you keep up with it?”

The old man gave a laugh. “I thought I was running out of steam quickly. Was afraid I was just getting old. Tell me young one, why would you tolerate such abuse, just for this young dragon?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Since I came to this world, she’s was the second to join me. I love her.”

“You bastard.” Mushu growls.

“L-l-l-love! M-m-m-master…” Mulan is fidgeting and looking extremely shy.

“Why are you being shy now?” You ask. “We just confessed are love earlier.

“I-in front of father, it’s so embarrassing, but I must say it too! I love master too.”

The old man scratches his chin with an interested look. “What do you mean by ‘came to this world’?”

“Huh? Ah, well, I was summoned here from another world.”

For the second time, a surprised look covers the man’s face. Numerous other dragons also start whispering excitedly. Fa Zhou shoots a look at Mulan, who nods in confirmation.

“And I suppose, you’ll bump heads with the demon lords?”

“Well, more like bump uglies, but yeah, in a way you could say I’ve succumbed two of them.”

“A true hero…” there is a whisper among the dragons.

“It can’t be.”

“Father! You shouldn’t listen to this, he’s clearly lying!” Mushu declares.

“He’s not! I’ve seen the defeated demon lords. He made them bow on their knees before him!”

So, they could give you head…

“And, he’s punish them brutally if they step out of line!”

You do like to spank them.

“And, they’re forced to act like dogs in front of him!”

Doggy position is Grimhilde’s favorite position.

The muttering grew louder with each declaration until everyone is talking excitedly.

“What does that have to do with anything?” You ask, slightly irritated at your confusion.

It is Fa Zhou who speaks up. “Few know this, but our particular dragon colony are the direct descendants of the great magic dragon Puff.”

“Puff the magic dragon?” You reply dryly.

“The one and only! He gave up his freedom and became a servant to the hero from another world 1000 years ago. The hero rode him to battle and stopped the summoning of the evil god. I only saw him once as a small child, but that moment I’ve cherished my entire life. Our entire line is devoted to stopping the resurrection of the evil god and serving the hero. If you’re the hero… then that would mean…”

“Th-that’s right!” Mulan interrupts like she just thought of something. “That’s why I became master’s dragon! He will ride me into battle against the forces of darkness. T-that’s why I had to run away, to find the great hero!”

She ran away and became your servant so that she wouldn’t get violated by her incestuous sibling! Now she is trying to spin it like she had planned this from the beginning. You consider what punishment games she’ll face later.

“I won’t believe it!” A shout cut through the excited discussion.

The voice was, of course, Mushu’s.

“Mushu!” Fa Zhou tries to cut him down with a glare, but he ignores his father.

“I won’t believe you’re the supercool hero! You won’t take my sister from me! It’s no fair she gets to travel with the hero and I don’t! No, rather, I don’t believe you’re the hero! Father is just getting old! We’re ten times stronger in our dragon form and father didn’t even try!”

“Enough Mushu, you embarrassment of a child, it’s considered rude to fight outside of the form your opponent takes, especially when you’re the challenger!”

“I don’t care!” Mushu cries out. “I’ll prove once and for all that this guy can’t be that cool!”

“I don’t even know what you’re talking about anymore!” You shout.

Mushu explodes into a dragon form amongst all the human shapes, and with a single jump he launches himself at you.

“You can kill that bitch all you want!” Mulan points at Mushu.

“Don’t mind if I do!” You jump at the dragon, planning to meet him in the middle.

“No, you can’t! Mushu is still my child!” Fa Zhou leaps in the way, clearly not aware that death is a relative term for you.”

You stop just short of hitting Fa Zhou, but the sheer strength of the blow carries through the wind. His scales shatter and Fa Zhou goes flying back, hitting Mushu and taking him with as they both slam into the mountainside.

“No! Father!” Mulan screams as the shattered man collapses to the ground.

“Before you die for touching my Mulan, what is this master stuff?” Mushu demands.

“Master is master!” Mulan takes a step forward while shooting Mushu an angry look. “Mushu should but out of it!”

“Mulan is mine,” you explain. “So, I guess she was more comfortable seeing it as a master-servant relationship.”

“I’m masters! See!” Mulan pointed to the ruby collar around her neck, causing several of the dragons to gasp and even her father to tense up.

“A dragon would dare collar another dragon!” Mushu shouts.

“Hey, she asked for the collar!” You defend. “Besides, who says I’m a dragon?”

There was even more chatter amongst the dragons.

“Wait, are you saying you’re not a dragon?” This is the first time Fa Zhou looks genuinely alarmed.

“No. That transformation was just something for fun. I’m human… I think.” Your voice loses steam as the looks from the dragons become increasingly more hostile.

“If he’s not a dragon, then they can’t have legitimately bredlocked! Mulan, come back here! Your loving Mushu promises he won’t punish you too much!”

“No! I hate you! I’m bredlocked now! He was a dragon so it’s official!” Mulan declares.

So, apparently her desire to mate had a second hidden meaning. Only sex between dragons could be considered bredlocked. That meant that her declaration that you must get married originally back in the day was an embellishment, and also driven by her distaste for Mushu. When you first met her, she must have been eager to get into a relationship so that she wouldn’t have to go back home. On the other side, Mushu is looking very depressed at those words.

“Wh-why does Mulan hate me so? You used to think I was the coolest, remember?”

“You started turning weird!”

“I made those changes for you!” Mushu insists. “I wanted to be together with you. That’s why I started becoming a true man!”

Mushu flexes his muscles as if to prove the point. They are certainly impressive. The pretty boy Mushu is an above average attractive man. You aren’t into that kind of thing, but if you had to rate looks he is probably more attractive than Florian. In fact, if it wasn’t for his muscles, with the long golden hair he might even be confused for a girl.

“You’ve always been like this!” Mulan shouts with a teary expression. “You’d sneak into my bed at night and you’d start touching me in strange places and doing this and that! I didn’t like it! That’s why I ran away!”

“Mushu is a tiny-pervert?”

“Guh!” Mushu reacts like he was struck in the gut. “That is… skinship! I wanted skinship. If Mulan wasn’t so cute I wouldn’t sneak in your bed every night! What’s wrong with that?”

“Incest is wrong!” Mulan shouts back.

“Wait… whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?” You cry, “What the fuck you mean incest?”

It was the silver-haired dragon who looks exasperated and tired who responds. “It’s the unfortunate truth. Mushu and Mulan are siblings.”

“Listen here, fake dragon. Mulan is my beautiful and loving sister. Only I will have her!” Mushu declares.

Fa Zhou hits Mushu over the head with enough force that he face plants into the ground. A second later Mushu pulls his head out of the dirt and shoots you a glare like nothing happened.

“None of that matters now. I’ve already declared a fight to the death with this young man. No matter how much dragon you possess, you still claim ownership over my precious daughter. Our colony cannot afford to lose her. She’s my last normal child. I’d never be able to find someone to marry Mushu, so Mulan is my last chance to strengthen ties with another colony. With no proper heir, it’s the only way we’ll survive as a colony. Please prepare yourself.”

“Father, no!” Mulan cries before turning back to you. “Please, master, I beg you, if you love me even a little, don’t hurt father. I couldn’t bear to see him hurt. I know it’s an unreasonable request, but please don’t fight him.”

You take a few steps forward, patting Mulan’s head as you pass. “Don’t worry. I’ve already said it. Your mine, and today is your date. I will definitely fulfill your request, no matter how impossible it is.”

“S-so cool!” the words came from Mushu, who immediately covered his mouth and then gave you a hateful stare.

“Alright, old man. Mulan is mine. If you think you have the strength to take her, then test me.”

“I like the look in your eye young man.” Fa Zhou responds. “It’s a shame you weren’t born to our noble colony, decedents of the greatest dragon who ever lived. I might have even given you her hand myself. For that, I’ll end this quickly!”

Fa Zhou immediately dashes forward at a full speed which easily breaks the sound barrier. He arrives in front of you at a speed even the other dragons can’t see. They didn’t call him the dragon king for no reason. His fist flies at your face with enough speed that flames spark in the air. Of course, only you are fast enough to see the fist. Your hands instinctual go up to catch it.

However, after a brief glance at Mulan, looking on with worried eyes, you give a sigh and lower your hands. The fist strikes you in the chin with full strength. Soon, you find yourself flying into the side of the crater with a resounding boom.

“Huh?” the voice is Mulans.

The dragons are nodding as if this was a given conclusion. Only Mulan thought otherwise. It didn’t occur to her for a second, even knowing the absolute strength of her father, that he’d even move you a hair’s breadth. She had such absolute faith in your ability that her brain couldn’t process what just happened.

“It’s done.” Mushu says cockily. “Now, come over here Mulan so I can snuggle you properly!”

“Wait…” Fa Zhou stops Mushu from surging forward with a wariness that comes with age. “He… didn’t even attempt to block…”

The mini-crater on the side of the massive crater starts to crack and crumble, and a moment later you pop out. There is no blood or damage on your body, although you’re covered in a little bit more dirt than you were prior. You simply smile and shrug.

“Wh-wh-what is this?” Mushu takes a step back in surprise.

“Mulan told me not to fight.” You respond simply. “So, I won’t fight. I wonder how long you can keep up, old man.”

You raise a hand, gesturing your fingers to bait Fa Zhou. Fa Zhou watches you carefully with narrow eyes.

“I don’t know what game you’re playing.” The old man sighs. “I am truly sorry, my daughter, but it seems I will have to break your former lover. Goodbye, strange one.”

Fa Zhou comes at you again, faster than before, his fist burning with magic. You don’t lift a finger as the fist connects, creating a massive shockwave that engulfs the crater. It’s going to be a long day.

If you’re wondering where I went this weekend, Saturday was my 10th year Anniversary, so no TOAE. I’m also published my second book this weekend. My first book will be free tomorrow until Saturday if you want to, you know, pick it up. Reading and reviewing it would do wonders for me. Please do so. Just don’t speak too enthusiastically in your review or amazon deletes it and says you must be my relative or something.

Also, it’s getting dangerously close to me finishing my doctorate. I’m looking for a job and so release times are probably going to suffer while I dedicate more time to writing papers and dissertations, so sorry, career first. I might even need to go on a month vacation from the sight while I write it. That’ll be in Fall of 2018. I’ll let you know when it happens.

You pat off your naked behind as you stand up and look around. “Huh, it looks like we landed on a mountain.”

“It’s not a mountain anymore…” Mulan responds with a tight smile.

She isn’t wrong. The pair of you are in the center of a crater about a kilometer wide. There are traces of the mountain, but the impact has scattered the majority of the mountain and you now sit in a volcano-like divot created by your skyfall.

“Wait… I know this mountain.” Mulan’s eyes start to hold a look of worry.

“Huh? You recognize crater mountain?”

“Well, it wasn’t crater mountain before!” Mulan insists, covering herself up the best she can despite the lack of clothing for either of you. “Wait… we need to go! Master! We have to go now!”

“Go?”

Mulan seems to turn very agitated, grabbing at your arm and pulling while you stand there dumfounded. “Please, master!”

Before you can respond, there is a loud roar that nearly shakes the ground. A moment later, more roars answer, and within seconds you hear a cacophony of monster sounds around you. You look around but don’t see any monsters.

“Those sounds are familiar…”

“It’s too late, they’re here!” Mulan cries out, pointing up into the sky.

You look up in the direction she’s pointing, and that’s when you see emerging from the sky, dozens of dragons that are circling overhead. They start descending upon you. You merely stand there, naked, watching curiously. Mulan seems to cower more and more behind you the closer they get.

Finally, the dragons land in a circle around you. They don’t appear hostile necessarily. It is more like they are trying to put on a show of intimidation. While it’s true they are powerful, you check their stats and make sure yours are better. Suffice it to say, you’re confident you can take them. Just in case, you ready the insta-death dragon spell you made the first day you got there too, the one that killed Mulan.

“They’re dragons?” One of the dragons roar.

“This one… could she be? Mulan?” a silver dragon asks.

With those words, Mulan hides even farther behind you. Several other dragons make surprised exclamations as they talk excitedly among themselves. Mulan’s name comes up more than a few times.

“Hey!” You say casually. “How are you guys on this fine morning?”

You opt for pleasantries.

“You… strange dragon. We heard the sounds. You have taken this young dragon as your mate. That was a mistake, you will die!” A golden dragon shouts.

So much for pleasantries. “Excuse me, why is who I chose for my mate your problem?”

The dragon’s all look at each other, and then in a flash they all turn into human-like forms, landing on the ground softly. The whirling wind immediately dies down. You give a noise of surprise. So, dragons can turn into humans? The one who appears in charge is an older man with a beard. He had been the silver dragon. There also appears to be a cocky young man standing next to him with golden hair. He came from the golden dragon. He took a step forward, but the silver one stopped him by holding up a hand.

“You must be a rogue dragon. It’s rare to find a dragon that isn’t part of a colony. If you had been, you’d have known it is considered taboo to bredlock a dragon from another colony without expressed permission. This young dragon here appears to be one of ours. She is still quite young. Since she had gained the ability to hold a human form, she must have matured early, but she is still belongs to this colony.”

You give a tight smile as you look back at Mulan, who continues to shrink back and lower her head. So, normal dragons could appear in human form when they were adults. Mulan is officially an adult. You certainly didn’t push her into premature adulthood when you resurrected her from the dead. That’s just crazy talk. A-D-U-L-T… confirmed.

“A bredlock… that is to say that because I’m Mulan’s first, we are bound together, yes?” You clarify.

The golden-haired man became angrier while many of the other younger looking dragons winced. However, the old silver-haired bearded elder merely nodded.

“While it is true that you have bredlocked Mulan, this sort of thing can be broken.”

“Oh?” You aren’t terribly interested in the conversation, but you decide to humor him, since he’s been politer than the other dragons shooting you angry looks.

“A dragon can challenge and defeat you from Mulan’s colony. If you win, we forfeit the right to Mulan. If we when, you forfeit the right.”

“Well that doesn’t sound so bad.”

“The battle is to the death.”

“Ah.”

“It’ll be me who kills you, bastard!” The goldhaired man stepped forward.

“Mushu! Enough!”

“But Mulan was to be mine. It was all but decided.”

Mulan put a look of disgust on her face when the one named Mushu stepped forward. It was clear that she didn’t like the guy. If you had to guess, he was likely the reason she ran away in the first place.

“It was not decided, Mushu, do not get ahead of yourself.” The silver hair man shot a tired and exasperated look. “It will be me who performs this fight.”

“No!” Mulan said the first words since the dragon had spoken. “You mustn’t!”

“You have done this to yourself, my dear. Running away. Giving yourself to a rogue. You have much to atone for young lady.”

“Hmph.” Mushu shrugged. “I guess you’ll die anyway. Prepare to face the wrath of the dragon they call the Dragon King!”

Mulan turned back to you, tears in her eyes. Was she really so worried? This dragon king guy could hardly be that powerful.

“It’s alright, Mulan.” You give her a smile. “I’ll just kill him and then we can go home.”

Rather than looking relieved, her eyes swell up even more. “Please! No. Master, you can’t kill him?”

“Master?” There was a rumble of unhappy murmuring amongst the dragons at the word master.

You look from the crying Mulan to the silver-haired man questioningly. “What did I miss?”

“Ah? I guess we haven’t been properly introduced. Since we are about to fight to the death, we might as well exchange names. I am the Dragon King Fa Zhou. You can also call me, Mulan’s father.”

“Ah…” That’s problematic.

Chapter 2 – Education

“ *sigh* Haaaaaa…….so boring .”

Lute Dragoon, who was already 7 years old, strolled around the garden alone while muttering how bored he was.

His mother was training with her magic. He enjoyed watching it but once she stopped, she would start meditating which was boring. That was why Lute decided to while away the time by strolling in the garden.

He might be complaining at the moment but once he began observing the plant, he would become absent minded. He would start appreciating how beautiful the flower was how they grew and anything that related to plants.

Next week, he would start his private education like his big sister.

A few days ago, Wallen mentioned this to Lute that his education like his sister would start when he’s 7 years old as he was Dragoon Family’s sole successor. He also told to Lute not to tell his mother as Wallen himself would speak to Sheila.

Then he suddenly heard someone calling him.

“Luuuuuuuttteeee!!!! I miss you so much!!!!”

Lute then turned to where that voice was coming from and saw a crimson haired girl running toward him at full speed, before she jumped and hugged him.

“Waaaahhh!!! Rosalin Nee-chan, it dangerous…geez…..”

Rosalin Dragoon, 9 years old, Lute’s big sister. She was wearing a white school uniform.

She entered school when she’s 8 years old. People called her a genius because she became an honor student at such young age. Rosalin was having a hard time in the school because her house was so far away, which ended up needing her to stay in the dorm. Every time she received a chance to go home, she would rush back home and meet Lute first like she always did.

“Aaaaaaaahhhhh! I feel so calm when I hug you, Lute. School really makes me tired and people keep asking me.”

“Hahaha here, here, Rosalin Nee-chan. I hope I can help you even just a little.” Lute smiled indulgently.

Lute hugged his sister back. He knew Rosalin was having a rough time and let her do what she liked for the time being. Rosalin then brought him to the bench while still hugging him. She sat down and started talking about her school activities. Lute just listened without complaining.

“Hmmmmmm, I feel so refreshed after talking with you. Thank you.”

“I’m glad to help,” Lute replied.

“Well, I will hold it for now but I cannot wait until Lute enters school later,” Rosalin said excitedly.

“Mu, I do not want it. It will restrict my movement. I cannot do what i want later.”

Said Lute with annoyed tones.

He was a child who did what he liked and he disliked being restricted, his curiosity and observation was quite high. When he wanted to know something, he would learn it until he completely mastered it, unless the thing he saw was not interesting or boring, he would just ignore it.

“You can’t, you have promised father, mothers and me that you will enter the school. Do you remember? Also father and mothers dislike people who cannot keep their promise. Also Mommy Sheila will sad.” Rosalin reprimanded Lute.

“Uuuuuuuuugh!”

Lute was a smart boy, he knew what Rosalin said was true. He had no choice but go to school.

“Fine then, I also cannot bear to see big sister alone at the school.” Lute gave in as he scratched his cheek. While he did agree with his sister, he still thought that going to school was a waste of his time.

“Oh my, so you are really worried about me. Thank you very much. I will appreciate it when you enter the school.”

But on the other hand, Rosalin was very happy that her little brother would be going to the same school she attended.

She hugged him tightly, which ended up burying Lute in her developing breasts. Even though Rosalin was still 9 years old, her body had steadily developed to a woman’s body, especially her breasts, which were quite big for 9 years old. It’s no doubt she would become beautiful woman like her mother.

Now, Lute who was buried in his sister’s developing breasts, felt comfortable but as she hugged him more tightly he started to feel uncomfortable and could not breathe. He struggled and patted her hand but she still did not realize.

“Ne….Rosalin Nee-chan, I….can….cannot breathe…… argh…”

“Ah, sorry. I was just too happy, hehehehe.”

“Seriously, Nee-chan… Don’t do it again”

Because her action earlier caused Lute to pout, but seeing his pouting face make Rosalin smiled and apologized in a cute way.

“Oh my. Rosalin, welcome back.”

Sheila had already finished with her magic training when she saw Rosalin arrive with Lute

“Yeeesss, Mommy Sheila!! I’m home !! Hehehe.”

Rosalin then hugged Sheila, who returned the embrace.

“So this week was your holiday right?”

“Yup, but I feel so tired and miss you all. Also, it’s hard in the school. I don’t realize when it happened so suddenly, what with becoming an honor student and all…”

Sheila patted Rosalin’s head.

“Then feel free to share your problem while you are here. Take your time to enjoy the holiday. Also go meet your mom.”

“Ah, hehehe, I totally forgot. Then, Lute and mommy Sheila, I will be going first.”

Rosalin waved to Lute and Sheila as she walked toward mansion

Then Sheila sat next to Lute on the bench, enjoying the scenery of the garden that’s full with flowers. Then she hugged and snuggled with him like she always did.

“Aren’t you happy your sister is finally home? You looked lonely when she’s going to school.”

Sheila teased Lute

“Not really…”

Lute looked away as he answered, he seemed embarrassed.

He was already fine without Sheila. He won’t cry when he’s lonely or when he didn’t see her. He also slept in his own room. However, the opposite ended up happening. When Lute was walking around in or out of mansion, Sheila would order her maid to walk with him when she’s doing meditation or magic training. But when Lute was absent for so long she felt so lonely and worried about him and at that time Lute would suddenly appear of nowhere in front of her like he knew that she was lonely. She remembered this event that always happened so she believed no matter what happened Lute always would be there for her. This made her very happy.

Lately Sheila noticed Lute was always thinking when he saw something that spiked his interest. She was so worried and kept this a secret but she realized that she was being selfish. This secret could hold up until now because Wallen had been busy over the last few years. He still returned home but rarely stayed long. The longest one was one month, which made Elizabeth and Sheila feel lonely but they knew Wallen’s service was needed to keep the empire safe.

“Let go back. It’ already near lunchtime.”

“Yes, i starting feel hungry.”

Sheila just smiled wryly. He was still eating quite a lot but not like when he was 5 years old, when she needed to breastfeed Lute every night. But while Lute stopped sucking his mother’s breast every night, he was still asking for milk breast when he’s really hungry and food was still not prepared yet.

Sheila didn’t mind that as it was a happy moment in her life. Though it’s quite troubling as Lute sometimes asked for her milks when everyone was present.

 

In the mansion, Rosalin and Lute were playing cards.

It was called Luveria card game, which you needed to guess a word based on a diagram.

Rosalin learned how play this in her school.

It’s really interesting for Lute. Both Lute and Rosalin were immersed in it. Most of the time, Rosalin won while Lute continually made mistakes. Elizabeth and Sheila just watched them with warm smiles.

“I’m home!!!! Whew, made it in time. I guess it was worth it.”

Both of them were startled by the sudden loud voice that came from the main door of the mansion except for Lute and Rosalin who were too focused in the card game. Wallen happily walked to the living room. It was his free time and he knew Rosalin had returned from her school.

“Welcome back, dear,” Elizabeth greeted him.

“Welcome back, Wallen,” Sheila added.

“Oh, you’re all here. And…….what they are doing…… Rosalin~~~~ and Lute~~~~ I’m home.”

“”……….”” Neither Rosalin nor Lute responded.

The silence was so awkward that Wallen felt as if he had done something wrong. When both of his wives realized it, Elizabeth opened her mouth.

“*sigh*……Do not worry about it, dear. They are playing a card game that Rosalin learned during her time at school while waiting for lunch.”

“Yes, then without our realization, they became so immersed in it. So we can only watch.”

“Hooooo, that seems fun to play. No wonder they aren’t aware of their surroundings.”

Wallen just smiled as he watched his daughter and son play together. Lately he saw many aristocrat families not having a good relationship, especially among siblings. This world still used the old system of inheritance. The first son was guaranteed the position of replacing his father and managing his land. While the daughter was being subjected to political marriage and the other sons had to leave once the first son married. Some aristocrats including the Dragoon family never used this old system. Their ancestor, Gilbert, realized this when he met his friend, the otherworlders, who told him, “This system is too cruel. We cannot take it off completely so how about we support each other so they can also survive. Even we get dragged into political marriage. At least know the love of having family”. This advice was passed down to all generations until Wallen’s. Wallen had a big brother and their relationship was very good but his brother was not interested in inheriting the house and succeeding his father’s position. So he just passed that position to Wallen then left to find his own future and never come back.

As Wallen reminisced while watching his children playing, Elizabeth’s voice entered his ears.

“Well, it’s almost time for lunch, let’s call them.”

“Hahahaha. Well, let them be. When food is served they will stop. Do not worry. If it does not work then I will call them.”

His wife looked worried but he succeeded in convincing them . They went to the dining room while the maid placed the food on the table. Taptaptap….the sound of small footsteps running to dining room.

“Yaaa food!!! Eh!?!? Papa, when did you get here?”

“Ummmm, Rosalin Nee-chan, I think we were too focused on playing that card game.”

“Wahahahaha! See? They will come. Now sit down. I just arrived but you two were just immersed in it without realizing it.”

“”Sorry””Lute and Rosalin apologized.

“Now, now. Both of you sit down. Don’t stay there,” Elizabeth told them.

All of them started eating. Lute and Rosalin talked about their earlier match such as “Mu, next time I will beat you.” then “ No, you just lost 17 times. Just try learn from it, haha” and other. While Elizabeth, Sheila and Wallen discussed about family, work and mostly important…..

“By the way, Sheila, we are going start Lute’s education next week,”

“I have no problem with it. If it’s for my son I’m willing to do anything for him.”

“The plan is still same?”

“Yes but depending on the tutor we called, I do not know if we can get the same tutor, Klaus. It has been years since we called him.”

The plan Elizabeth asked was basic education for an earlier age such as learning how to write, read, calculations, history and common knowledge. This was already applied to Rosalin and there was no problem. So they decided to do the same with Lute. The only difference was that Lute was 7 years old and his education would start earlier than Rosalin while Rosalin had already mastered writing, reading and calculating when she’s 4, so she only needed to learn about history and common knowledge when she’s 7 almost 8 and she finished the study only withing four months.

“Then…..i will tell him right away after this.”

Both of his wives just nodded, showing that they agreed with Wallen’s decision. After lunch, they drank the tea.

“Lute, can you hear me out?”

“Yes? What it is, Papa?”

“Next week your education will be starting, I hope you can cooperate and focus during studying. If there is a problem, you can ask me, your mother, Elizabeth or your big sister.”

“Ok, I will keep in mind and try my best for studying.”

“Hmmmm, I’m glad.”

Wallen smiled broadly, happy with his son’s answer. He knew his son was not interested as he remembered his annoyed face few days ago. So he decided to have Luke make a promise because he knew Lute always kept his promise.

Wallen then patted his son’s head as smiled and thought.

Son, I have a dream, a dream where big wars more terrifying than the Holy Great Wars engulfed this world and you are the one who is going to stop this war as you are the centre of it.
