_That was faster than I expected, but why did they kiss so suddenly?_
My eyes are squinted as they stare at the two nobles who cannot conceal their gaze towards me, receiving ire from my relatives-in-law, but I particularly do not mind because the aggression on their faces earlier was replaced with dread, their faces were white like it was bleached and their once overconfident eyes were trembling at the sight of me eating steak even though a huge ray of light was flashed in the direction of my territory.
_It's your fault for not considering such a design flaw._
They know that something on their side has gone incredibly wrong and I am enjoying the crushing defeat they have received by my hands like the sweetest of honey, though my question earlier remains, and surprisingly someone answered me.
[You have to see them like Neanderthals rather than homo sapiens you know, they have lesser control of their instincts.]
I was a little jolted by [Guide] who seemed to have already bypassed my anti-mind-reading capabilities. However, I am not as surprised as I should, because he already said that he is as intelligent as me, I mean, he sounds like me (Emilio), so it would be strange if he is not, but anyway I still asked.
How did you bypass it?
[Well, I am just lucky that I scanned all the Brahmic scripts in your brain before you completed the anti-mind-reading spell, after that I learned how to write and read them and counter-produced the spell's desired effect, rest assured that I am the only person who can counter your spell, for now, at least.]
I was watching how the massacre will end by using Ruphas' eyes and ignored the make-out session above the walls that I am so sure would escalate to something else, though I cannot hide the fact that I am excited to see what is the result of this crossbreeding, I mean they are mammals and in the same "Community type monsters" category so they can crossbreed.
I went back to looking at the ballroom, even though ballrooms are used for dancing, no one even has the courage to ask a lady for a dance, the bachelors who are here to continue their courting of Eleanor did not even dare to look at her now because of her demonstration earlier.
_They might be in shock because they didn't expect Eleanor to show her ire when that guy badmouthed Urduja and me in front of everyone._
Seeing that we were partly at fault for the very awkward atmosphere, Urduja and I looked at each other, I dipped the last fork of steak in the sauce and ate it as I drank some wine, after which I stood up, put my left hand on my back and my right hand in front with my palm extended, all people swept their gazes towards me and Urduja who also did the same motion with her only wife present (I wonder why), Aoi Dodomeki, inviting the girl smaller than her to a dance.
"May I have the honor to dance with the most beautiful lady in this room?"
Our minds seemed to be in sync as both of us said the same thing, all of the ladies in the room widened their eyes and the fear on them became a little bit dimmer, they started to wait for their bachelors to dance them too.
Eleanor put her soft palm in mine and stood up, I used my magic to float, something that mages in these world seem to find incomprehensible, all of the eyes of the more magic oriented nobles widened, the fear being completely washed away.
I looked at Eleanor, mesmerized by her dazzling eyes as I wrapped around my left hand to her waist and raised my arm and hers as we started to dance in the melody that Urduja's children have started. With this spectacle of ours, the ladies and gentlemen started to dance also, forgetting about what happened or at least suppressing the memory for a while, with the exception of the two nobles who seem to confirm the peril of their army, everyone became merry.
After the ballroom dance, Kabuto sent me two heads, bloody heads, I then used dark magic and controlled my shadow and tapped Urduja's own, she immediately looked at me not even perplexed on what I have just done, as I thought, I am not adept on dark magic yet, I have to practice in my free time, I mean if I have one, haha...
She raised her brows as I pointed at my shadow, raising the two heads of the captains that have invaded my territory, the nobles who have started to say their goodbyes were swept through by Urduja, locking at the leaders of the Wimbledon and Guinness houses respectively.
"Barons of the King, can you me accompany in my office, I... have some things to confirm."
I once again raised the heads for them to see, subtly, of course, the two of them almost screamed as they saw the lifeless eyes of their stemmed captains, I feel like loosening my lips and smiling at their despair but that would make me look like a sick pervert so I did not do so, the nobles who are the sons, daughters, nephews and many more of Urduja looked at the two nobles, their eyes shimmering with "We are here, you know."
Those nobles are at the back of these two nobles, Wimbledon and Guiness, the other nobles were being blocked by Aoi to see these spectacle, they were starting to discuss amongst each other, and the soonest, maybe tomorrow, some of them will invite me to their territory. Why tomorrow? Because I am rejecting them this night.
Back to Urduja, she smiled and said as Guiness and Wimbledon realized that all the nobles are either hostile to them or cannot see this spectacle.
"You will not reject, right?"
I imagine that these two started to soil their pants after this, but it seems like their dignity is still there as they nodded and started to walk with Urduja and her wife, snatching the two heads in my shadow with force, there are speck of darkness that went to her skin and tried to latch at her but it failed and was incinerated.
_I don't think our relationship will be a good one._
While I was thinking of that, Urduja looked at me.
"Leave this to me... and as the daughter of the god of undead, I believe that you will need dead bodies so I will give these heads back to you and also let you deal with the corpse of their army, their lands are mine."
I then nodded and smiled, going back into my table.
After Urduja left the place, Aoi put down her illusion and the party ended peacefully, but I wonder if it did ended peacefully for Bakunawa because she have to turned into a small snake and latch at the ceiling to dodge every person, guys and girls that wants to invite her to a dance, after everyone left, Bakunawa finally left the ceiling with a sigh of relief, I also finally loosened my face, after greeting all the nobles went and shaked my hand like I was in a meet and greet.
The people of Gjallarhorn did not even noticed, even Urduja herself that they have let a parasi- I mean utilitarianist enter their territory, I looked at my shadow as I ordered Kabuto using my mind.
That was the only thing that I said but Kabuto evidently shook with excitement, something rare from him.
"Well, I guess the party is over, we have to rest for tomorrow's festival so let's go to our room."
I asked Eleanor as she nodded, however Bakunawa looked at the direction in which Urduja went and then looked at me.
"I have something to ask Urduja, I won't be coming with you."
Bakunawa seem to have this weird glint on her eyes when looking at me, it makes me wary somehow, though my instincts tells me that it is not about Urduja... I wonder why do I feel like that.
I just gave up on deliberating my thoughts, after all, it is not very important because if push comes to shove, Bakunawa can be electrocuted by my will alone, so everything should be fine.
Me and Eleanor started to walk side by side, Eleanor seem to not be in the mood of talking because of all the wine she drank, so I was recounting all of my plans here. The talk between the two nobles and Urduja will surely lead to the death of the two, the King will scramble because of this and will soon know of my engagement with Urduja's daughter, because of this he will theorized that if he did not compensated me, the kingdom will receive the full wrath of two heroes, so he will surely give me something worth it, maybe make my currency an accepted currency in his Kingdom.
Also, I want to check the medicine standard of this place so that I know how will I overtake them, you see, this place have a lot of magecraft masters, I mean if you see someone as talented as Eleanor not having a chance to flourish, that will be the most prevailing theory. This industry is somehow expensive so I have to make sure its a hit, I don't know how backward the "potions" in this world is, but depending on the premise, it is either I can monopolize the medical supplies department of armies of the places around me, their are also the guilds but with how many are they, I am afraid that we will be over congested and will lose the monopoly by being forced to giving the formulas to other people as to decongest ourselves.
Also, with the impending meeting with the nobles, I shall present the textiles and clothes we have produced (yes, we started production of textiles) this way, we can lure them into buying a lot of clothes for their dresses and ceremonial uniforms for their army, in this industry, I can sell it not only on the upper class, but also to the lower and middle as well as mercenaries and merchants through contracts.
Plastics in this world does not exist, so cloth bags are the hip for buying daily necessities, plus I can also spread our culture through this. It will be a good passing time story in the future if the adventurers of Gjallarhorn wears the art and colors of Kamatayan.
And finally the restaurant industry, that is privatized, so that will not be my problem.
As I finished my thoughts, me and Eleanor finally went back to our room, I sighed and then removed the overcoat and unbuttoned some of the buttons of my blouse.
I suddenly heard Eleanor said so, her hands went at her back and unzipping sound were heard.
"What do you say we..."
She removed the upper part of her Filipiniana, only leaving her breast covered with her black bra, after which, she let the upper part of her dress go, the cloth of the dress slowly crawling down the curvaceous waist and child bearing hips of my wife, revealing her black panties too and because of my photographic memory, every second of the lascivious scene was imbedded on my mind, I suddenly smiled as I panted slowly as Eleanor continued.
"... celebrate our official engagement?"
I did not answer and immediately stood up, my clothings were also removed in an instant.
_Well, it seems like we will be tired at the very start of the festival tomorrow._
In the office of Urduja, the owner of the office is looking at the two kneeling figures in front of her as they are explaining why they have done such a thing, not even thinking that they have endangered the whole Kingdom by doing so and recklessly said things that ranges from their readiness on pledging allegiance to Urduja and whatnot.
_These people did not realized who will they be fighting in the off chance that Sophia is not an overpowered Isaac Newton._
Urduja sighed, halting all of the ramblings of the two people in front of her, the fear in their eyes are evident and it was obvious for Urduja that the oath their ancestors have said to the monarchy of Gjallarhorn has long been washed away by their ambition, however, the ambitions they have is not something they can back up, they can't even maintain their composure in front of her, how will they fight Loki or the Stardust Kingdom if they really managed to invade Kamatayan.
"You people, I cannot quite fathom what have you all have been banking into all this time, is it my existence? Or is it your ignorance? A noble's characteristic is being knowledgeable so before I give my verdict, let me impart this one knowledge."
"I don't give a fuck about humanity, no more like I don't care about humanity the moment the God of the Sun did so too, so you better stop thinking that I will spare anyone of you if you meddle with the plans of my lord or try to mess up the happiness of Eleanor, Sophia or anyone of my children."
After that, Urduja paused for a moment because of the noise pollution that started to resound in the whole mansion, it was of a moaning sound.
"You are to be executed by the sin of disobedience to your liege, my orders, effective three days after the celebration of my birthday."
