336 Decisions

Upon awakening, Asai sat up to find Mizumi and Miku already awake and waiting. The once annoying dhan was now dressed in a maid's uniform just as Miku did. 

"Look at that, a princess serving as a maid?"

Before the girl could speak and explain her reason for being there. The duke rose a hand to silence her, leaving him to his thoughts.

[Loha's Blessing] (Updated)

Del Lagos Royal Blood now flows through your veins.

"Just a random thought... What happens if I also receive Marea's blessing?"

Glancing down, Asai noticed Kozumi's ring was now equipped. The design and insignia upon it, he can only assume to be Par'Talucca's emblem.

"Alright. Mizumi, what are you doing here?" Although the man could easily guess her new role, he still wanted to hear it come from her mouth.

"Sister Kozumi will remain behind as both Her Majesty's prisoner and guest, where she will safely give birth to your child. Whilst sis is here, I will be following you to Via Marea, to serve you and to fight alongside you. To help and ensure your safety and return." 

Mizumi bowed low, much lower than required.

"Did Victoria put you two through some sort of training or something?" Upon hearing such a question, the girl clenched her own butt-cheeks in memory of her training.

"No comment."

"So, technically. You belong to me correct?"

"Correct, if you demanded it. I will give you my freshly worn underwear..."

Asai ignored her comment. And focused on checking the system.

"...

Must be nice, having a Goddess help you so much."

"Mizumi, what were your orders exactly?"

"Her Majesty, has ordered me to: behave, stop being such a bitch, stop complaining about men, stop calling Kozumi, Neechan. To never betray Her Majesty, and to serve and protect Asai De Trichia."

"What about the kingdom of humanity? What if a noble from Del Lagos attacks you. What will you do?"

"I will defend myself. Her Majesty understood that not all humans were smart enough to keep their hands off me. Thus, only specified my loyalty to belong to herself, and you.

And thankfully for me. You are my future brother-in-law, whilst Her Majesty will also somehow become my sister-in-law as you will marry the both of them, right?

So as far as I'm concerned. We're all family."

"And what of my vassals? My knights?"

"Well. It is mostly left to my discretion. But I assure you, I won't misbehave deliberately."

Asai nodded in satisfaction. "That's good enough I guess. Especially if its something enforced by Goddess Loha herself. I guess that's the limit, without completely stripping her of her freewill."

"Fine, it's good to have you with me. Just, follow Miku for now, and obey her orders."

Whilst Mizumi nodded respectfully, Miku couldn't help herself, as she hugged the girl who had spent months protecting her. As a commoner from Par'Talucca, she honestly didn't expect the return of two of their princesses, especially after they went against the desires of the patriarch, escaping into the south.

Rather than Mizumi, who only followed her older sister's shadow back then. It was Kozumi who would occasionally visit the clan's children, to play with them. However, she was mature enough to understand just how much Mizumi had personally sacrificed, and risked to get her and the other children across the deadlands safely.

Thus, Miku was entirely filled with joy. Knowing the two princesses were at the very least, safe.

"As annoying as this girl was in the past. Bringing her along with me to Par'Talucca would surely help, she could convince the locals and help me gather the remnants...

Fuck it, bygones be bygones. I'm not some spiteful kid. As long as she proves herself useful and reliable, that's all I care about.

And if I think about it for a moment... She basically saved my ass politically right? All those underhanded schemes, assassins from those nobles who backed Victor's faction. If Mizumi and Kozumi didn't kill them for me. I would've probably long since been branded a traitor to Del Lagos."
