Kozumi, who was still kneeling before Asai Trichia.

"Please, conquer East Bahran. Become it's sovereign through right of conquest in addition to marrying us two sisters, and thus obtaining a rightful claim to the throne through bloodline. Save my people who have become nothing but vagabonds. Scattered across the deadlands.

As for Miku and the little ones, please provide them safe haven within your castle walls. Mizumi and I will become your sword within the night, and fight alongside you. With our flesh and blood, we will pave your path towards the crown.

I ask for your forgiveness, not for my actions. But, forgiveness for my people who are innocent."

Before Asai, kneeled the 12 dhans. Robin, fiercely scrutinized them with her gaze. Kozumi and Mizumi had deliberately withheld information from her, pretending to be trusted allies, that had been assisting Asai from the shadows from the beginning, but it seems all of it was a lie. She then realised that, all of their closeness, their moments of pleasure was their form of seduction, to weaken her guard, and perhaps place a notion of friendship within her mind.

Whilst the dhans had failed to influence Robin's heart, due to her fierce loyalty and obsession over Asai. Chloe, with her softer heart felt it bleed as she thought about her story. The loss of her home and nation, being chased as traitors although only being little children. In Chloe's eyes, Kozumi was sacrificing herself, her pride and being, all for the sake of others. She remembered the politeness and kindness she enjoyed from the dhans. Comparing it to the rudeness and greed of the humans in which she had met before meeting Asai. Specifically the templar knight, Istvan. Who at every given chanced ogled her body without restraint.

Violet was standing there, wondering what was going on. Dekans? Dhans? Who? For what she could see, they all appeared to be human to her. Chloe, Leslie and her were the only ones with something unique, being their longer and pointy ears.

Robin stepped forward, yanking the girl by her hair until she could see her crimson eyes. With mana-imbued hands, she back-handed Kozumi's face.

"You bitch! Whilst we were at war, you were playing both sides of the coin!? What if Asai had died because of you!"

Kozumi lowered her head, she had said her piece and now she simply awaited Asai's answer.

"Wait! Yes, we played both sides of the coin. But I hope you know, The reason you and that man remained undefeated as you invaded the kingdom of elves was thanks to Kozumi! Neechan was providing Queen Rima Regenon with fake information! She risked our cover to ensure your campaign front had the weakest of the weakest! Do you really think your Asai was strong and powerful enough to conquer so many key positions without help!?

We literally saved your asses! Queen Rima literally wanted to personally enter the eastern front, to slaughter Asai and you, but we convinced her that Knight Walter was the biggest threat. That's why she went to the western front, far from you and your man.

And yes! We also killed human nobles, but because of Neechan's stupid feelings she forbid me from killing any of your allies. Did you know? I had been protecting Asai before you even came into the picture! Your man wouldn't be alive if I didn't protect him from the hundreds of fucking assassins those shitty nobles kept sending his way.

And those shitty nobles? You can thank us because we went out of our way to kill them for you. So yes, we attacked the kingdom of humans and the kingdom of elves, but we never directly attacked Asai!

What, did you really believe Neechan would randomly seduce a nameless boy living in an orphanage? Be real and use your brain human, my sister saw hope in you, you were the only dhan who didn't covet her body for her bloodline. Rather than marrying her body away to some scumbag who only cared for her lineage, she wanted something genuine. You were almost that! But you never took her hand, you never chose her, you chose Robin, Mary, Annie and that new girl Rosemi.

We didn't have to, but we still protected you from the shadows. The least you can do is thank us! Not fucking slap Neehcan!"

Mizumi swung her own hand, in an attempt to slap Asai, but before the strike could land. Robin immediately shot her arms forward  grabbing Mizumi's arm, dragging her down to the ground and into a grapple-submission. Placing the weight of her knee upon her head, squashing her face into the stone floor.

..

Leslie's eyes widened in surprise. "I-I need to tell Queen Victoria! These two bitches have been killing her vassals!" The man entirely forgot, that he was also an elf. Whatever loyalties he had to the elven crown were gone, ever since Victoria first spanked the man into submission.
