Puush!
From thin air came a push of dark mist that crammed the room, giving the hint of a human figure before Yuri materialized.
She was inside Sato's room, since Sato had been over at Rizaha, Yuri had been the one keeping his belongings safe.
"Ahhh, it's been two days now and he still isn't back." Yuri muttered before she sat down on the bed.
She was motionless for a while when all of a sudden, she screamed and romped onto the bed before burying her face in Sato's pillow.
"Ohhh~ it smells just like him," Yuri said with a perverted laugh leaving her mouth as she rolled left and right on the bed.
Baam! Baam!
Yuri's perverted display was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.
"Master isn't around, go meet the elder!" Yuri shouted before she returned to hugging the pillow.
"Hold on, what is that witch doing inside my fiance's room!".
With brute force, the door fell to the ground and Erza strolled in with a furious look on her face.
"So, it's you." Yuri uttered coldly, she slowly stood up from the bed and walked over to Erza, "You just don't know how to leave other people alone, do you?".
"Follow your own advice.. it will definitely do you some good." Erza replied, both of them glaring at each other up close.
"Bloodsucker!" Yuri insulted.
"Old witch!" Erza responded with her own insult.
"Chubby!"
"Grandma!"...
They both raised their hand in the air, while Yuri's hand was emitting dark glowing energy, Erza's was creating a huge fireball and they both plan to attack each other with it.
"Lady Erza, what brings you here?" Diana stood at the entrance with a sweeping stick in her hand.
Erza promptly expelled her attack and stood right before walking away from Yuri's sight.
She walked up to Diana and responded calmly, "Diana, how are you?" Erza voiced, placing her hand on Diane's cheeks, "Do you happen to know where Sato is?" She asked.
"Lord Sato? He went to pay some people a visit yesterday and hasn't returned since then." Daina replied.
"Some people? Who?" Erza asked again.
"Quit pestering the poor girl and go home already." Yuri chimed in before sitting back on the bed.
Although she was affected by it, Erza didn't let it show, she kept a weird smile on while she focused on Diana, "Pay her no mind, tell me where he went." She uttered.
"Well… I don't know them either, all we know is they happen to be Lord Sato's closest friends." Diana hinted.
......…
[ Location: Rizaha, the forest of witches… outskirt]
"And what exactly were you thinking when you came up with this plan?" Benihime, leader of the Valkyries asked.
"Ah, Good question, my initial reason was to merge the roads of Nervek, my village, and Rizaha together, this way travels are easier and we get to bond since we will be working together to save this forest." Sato replied, sitting on the chair with Divanchi standing behind him.
"When you say working together, you mean our temporary alliance to take down the demon king?" Benihime raised another question.
Both Isla and Akeno were present, and even though she tried her hardest to not show it, Isla was especially excited to see Sato again after so long.
Sato sighed, "Yes, I'm aware it's a temporary alliance, different goal, same objective, I need him down because I'm trying to prevent a horrible future, you want him dead because he wants to acquire your prized items… it's all the same, you act old sometimes".
Benihime's eyebrow twitched a bit in annoyance, "You sure have gotten quite cocky, is being the leader of a small village getting to you?" She teased.
"Of course not, although…a permanent alliance with you might do the trick." Sato muttered with his eyes focused on the ceiling, "Hmmm… maybe marrying you would be easier".
Pat!
Divanchi immediately whacked Sato on the back of head.
"Hey! What was that for!" Sato yelled at Divanchi.
"Oh, I'm sorry master, my hand must have slipped." Divanchi responded while still keeping a professional look on her face.
"Y..You watch what you say to Lady Hime!" Isla exclaimed, pointing at Sato as her face turned beet red.
"Uhn?"
"Oh, my, how bold of you," Akeno voiced out, her hand fan covering the lower half of her face and exposing only her eyes, " direct hit… i'll give that 88 points".
Sato sat back down on the chair, "Look, I didn't mean it the way it sounded okay? Besides I already have a…".
"Sure, let's do it." Benihime said,
Sato paused, "I'm sorry, what?".
"Let's get married."
The whole room went into a jaw-dropper as all eyes fell on Benihime, Akeno couldn't help but smile even more.
'I see… She wants to get married!' Sato panicked , 'The hell! Is this some kind of trap? I mean, this is the same woman that imprisoned me when I first got here'.
'Other than that, I can't get married, I'm already engaged to Erza! Damn these stupid commitments!'.
<<Actually you can, people with status are known to have more than one wives, it is viewed as showmanship and attainment toward mates>>
'No way, people marry more than one wife here, what about Vlad, he has a status… I don't see him with two wives'.
<<The Duke of Nervek has a total of 4 wives, or rather can be called concubines>>
'What?!!!'.
Sato sat there in complete thought while his eyes were fixed on Benihime.
Benihime had her jaw resting on her hand as she looked at Sato with a calm look on her face, "So, what is your answer, you accept?".
"Milady!" Isla chimed in, "You should watch what you say, what if he accepts?".
"Then, I'd simply have to view him as my husband." Benihime replied, carrying the same calm expression as she observed Sato.
"Relax, I doubt he'll mutter up the courage to actually…".
"Fine then." Sato chimed in and immediately paused Akeno as he placed his leg on the table, "I accept".
Isla's jaw dropped in surprise.
"Oh my, he actually did it.".Akena uttered with a bit of surprise, she peeped at Benihime and smiled, 'What are you going to do now Mi'lady… you took your teasing too far this time'.
