Back at the castle, where Hadrian and Sascha carried out the lewd act, to be exact, Sascha's breasts were roughly fondled, and she came dangerously close to passing away because Hadrian strangled her neck. - Hadrian Pov - At the moment, I am enjoying my breakfast at the dining table, and right next to me is Sascha, who has a happy smile plastered across her face. In the meantime, there is an old geezer in front of me. He is different from Sascha and me because we dressed in casual clothes this morning. This old geezer was outfitted in what appeared to be a bulky suit of iron armor. However, it didn't seem to be causing him any discomfort at all. Because he needs to put food in his mouth, he is not wearing a helmet at the moment, and as a result, I can see the sunlight reflecting off his bald head. Oh, I haven't mentioned his name yet. He is Baldwin, a formidable general and a knight who is highly respected by the people of the Zeitgeist Empire. At this table, only three people
- Sascha Pov -"Just a little bit more... ahhh, am I less attractive, since the young master always stops when the mood reaches its peak?" I said in an irritated tone as I spurred the magical horse I was riding.Even after my young master had teased me just before I left, my entire body felt hot, and the rate at which my heart was beating did not slow down.Because of the magic I cast, what was previously a wet spot on my crotch is now completely dry, as if the earlier incident never occurred."I have had a lot of joy over the past few days due to the fact that I am able to get closer to the young master."I continued to make my way towards the woods on this magical horse while talking to myself and flashing a broad smile.But then, as if remembering something, I said, "I'm quite surprised that they can hold the princess for this long, should I increase their salary? Of course, that is premised on the notion that they are still alive."The individuals I am referring to are not members
- Alice Pov - After I severed the head of the old man in front of me, his body fell to the side. In the meantime, his head flew and landed close to the run-down tent, where the people were becoming increasingly terrified. I have this strange urge to finish him off with my own hands. Why don't I just use a sword? because I am a 'Great Magus.' I just finished performing very powerful wind magic and wrapping it around my hands in order to make it capable of penetrating even the toughest metal. What emotions do I experience when I sever his head from his body? There is none to be found. Even my hands are not showing any signs of shaking at all. Perhaps it's because I don't have any emotional attachment to other people besides my family. It's possible that... Now, for some reason, I feel the need to relax in my brother's arms. Yes, as soon as all of this is finished, I'll be able to do it in a little while. After conversing with myself inside my head, I slowly walked toward the
Alice Pov After making my way up to the forest's entrance, I was able to observe smoke rising into the air from the heart of the forest. "I appreciate your small help earlier," I said it in a hushed voice as I turned toward Sascha, who was standing behind me. I don't want to go into too much detail because I'm not overly enthusiastic, and, for some reason, I'm a little bit tired. "As always, I am very impressed by the very sharp eyes that you possess," Remarked Sascha with a bright smile on her face, but it soon became apparent that she had more to say after all. "In fact, I'm the one who wants to apologize for the soldiers' behavior earlier. It was a hard slap for me because I've said in the past that they will always follow orders." "Even though I've seen a lot of soldiers who try to disobey the orders of their superiors, it still makes me feel very embarrassed when Princess Alice meets one of them." Sascha spoke at length in an effort to provide a justification for what had
- Hadrian Pov - After letting go of the yearning, I had for Alice, who is now occupying the bed I use. Alice insisted on sleeping in my room, and since I was aware that she was exhausted, I allowed her to do whatever she desired. In the meantime, I informed Sascha that she needed to get ready because tomorrow we would be traveling home with Alice. "Yes, we can do that the next time, but right now, I also need a break to take a nap," when I told Sascha to leave the room, she appeared dismayed. Perhaps she thought I was going to discipline her by doing something sexual. As I made my way to the bedroom, I saw that Alice was already there. She appeared sound asleep, but her face occasionally broke into a charming smile. I have no idea what she imagines for herself, but I would love to be a small part of her dream. I can only sigh as I sit on the bed's edge and continue looking at Alice. After a moment, I roll over and lie down on the bed to Alice's right. I just staring at the cle
- Hadrian Pov - As is customary, Alice and I walked alongside one another through the halls of this empty castle. Since there was no one else in this castle besides Alice, I, and a few maids, the atmosphere was very calm. This atmosphere, in which not even the guards are permitted to look inside the castle, is one that I find more desirable. I got up and headed toward the dining room, not only because Alice hadn't eaten since she got back but also because I was feeling peckish myself. When someone's level increases, it stands to reason that they will have less of a requirement to eat and drink. Why is that, exactly? Because an individual can absorb the energy already present, allowing that energy to satisfy his body's requirements. Therefore, there are situations in which increasing your level results in a person appearing as if they are not getting older. This is because the individual processes the energy in the world into clean energy that is then absorbed into their body. "
The sound of the horses' hooves pulling the carriage can be heard in the background, complementing the sound of the birds chirping. - Hadrian Pov - At this very moment, Alice and I are sitting in the carriage together, and a third passenger, Sascha, will also accompany us on this journey. We left early in the morning, and because only old man Baldwin and a few others were aware of the impending departure, the Geist Legion did not send us off with a proper farewell ceremony. And only a few of the soldiers were fortunate enough to have today be their turn to guard the entrance to the castle. Moreover, I could see the shocked expressions on the soldiers' faces when they realized that the carriage coming out of the gate was mine. But then they hastily saluted, and without making a noise that would wake all of the other soldiers who were now sleeping in the barracks, they immediately opened the gate. After that, the three carriages that arrived at this fort a week ago are slowly win
- Mysterious young lady Pov - Today marks the first time I have set foot in the capital of the Zeitgeist empire, which is the city of Zeit, also known as the city of the time. I've heard a lot of rumors about this city's capital, so when I actually listened to the stories, I wasn't surprised by them. That doesn't mean I wasn't amazed or didn't care, though. Because it is the capital of one of the seven empires that are located on this continent, it is only natural that everything revolves around this one location. Ranging from technological advancements, health, education, magic, skills, spells, food, drinks, fashion, art, artifacts, architecture, and even slaves. I could mention more, but it seems it is sufficient to know that everything in this capital is the best that can be found in any other part of the empire. Consequently, as I was listening to the miraculous story that is told about the city of Zeist, I simply said in my heart. "Isn't that something that should be obvio
- Vera Pov -Today, as is customary, I reported to the Empress in her study, where, and as her secretary, I was kept extremely busy assisting her with various tasks relating to the administration of this empire.Additionally, in contrast to the emperors of other empires, the Empress I serve does not appear to be leading the life of an emperor.Because just imagine, during this month, the Empress only left the palace once, and the only reason for that is because there were important things such as the impending war between the empires of Ausgeburt and Unbesiegt.And as for the rest, the Empress only carried out her responsibilities as the female Emperor from her study inside the palace.Of course, I don't mind it, and I think that's unique to the Empress because I've met some of the other emperors and heard rumors about it as well.The other emperors each have their own uniqueness, whether it's because of their position as Emperor or because someone says that person is one of the stron
Now that we are in the last few months of the year 998 on the holy continent of Heilig, the time has come to start counting down.The time that was promised is getting closer, but in the meantime, an increasing amount of disorder and darkness has spread across the continent that everyone believes to be sacred.So sacred that it spurs competition among individuals who want to unravel the mystery it conceals.- Hadrian Pov -A month has passed since the incident in which I took Sascha's virginity, and since that incident, Sascha has also changed a little bit.When they observe Sascha in her current state of behavior, people who are already familiar with her will immediately recognize that she has undergone a change.Sascha, standing next to me and following me, made an effort to bring her body closer to mine, and when I looked at her, she simply tilted her head to the side and smiled affectionately at me.The former version of Sascha would have done the same thing, but she would have be
- Sascha Pov -As soon as I opened my eyes, I was able to make out the white ceiling of my room. However, before I could take a deep breath of the fresh morning air, I experienced a sudden and severe headache, which caused my hands to clutch my head tightly.But then, all of a sudden, the pain went away. It was as if everything I was experiencing was just a hallucination, but regardless, I let out a sigh of relief.My entire body began to shake for no apparent reason due to the strange nature of the pain, which manifested itself and then vanished suddenly.But as soon as I turned to the side, I could see the figure of Hadrian, who was fast asleep beside me. At that moment, I forgot about all of the difficulties that I had been experiencing.I can see his handsome and charming face, which never fails to captivate me, and his clothes give the impression that he is only partially clothed because his shirt is unbuttoned, allowing me to see his bare chest.When I look slightly downward, I
- Emilia Pov -I was walking to my room after dinner had finished, and everyone had gone back to their respective rooms.And, as is my habit, I like to read books every night before I go to bed. I like to keep reading until my eyes get tired, and then I fall asleep with a bunch of books surrounding me.The topics covered in the books I read were pretty varied, ranging from books on energy and magic to books on the history of this world.Sometimes I also help my mother with the affairs of this empire, and thanks to all the information I've read, I'm also gradually starting to understand the monster that is called the Zeitgeist Empire.And as soon as I became aware of it, for some reason, my shoulders immediately began to feel heavy, and I noticed that my breathing had started to become a little bit shallow; other people may say that I carry a heavy burden as a princess of the Zeitgeist empire, so it is only natural that I feel the pressure.But that wasn't what caused me to react so dr
- Hadrian Pov -"Young master, do you want to do it right now?" Remarked Sascha with a gentle tone and soft voice that, for some reason, exuded an undeniable air of endearment.I was speechless for a brief period of time, unable to respond to Sascha's words. After that, I moved closer to the bed and slowly climbed onto it.After that, I climbed on top of Sascha, who was now staring at me with a lustful expression and taking shallow breaths as though she was anticipating something.The more I examine Sascha in close proximity, the more I can see her beauty, which leaves me very impressed. She has a pointed nose and pink lips that appear very soft, and I can't wait to try tasting it."Young master, I'm getting impatient. Can I start taking off my clothes?""Please," Sascha pleaded while looking at me with her dark eyes, which did not blink as they fixed their gaze on me the entire time.After that, without further ado, I brought my face closer to Sascha, and with a rapacious "mmmh" soun
- Alice Pov -"Who wants to be close to you... I can do it on my own... humm."I tried to look normal despite the rapid beating of my heart, but eventually, I just couldn't take it any longer, and without even realizing it, my steps got faster.After what seemed like an endless amount of time, I finally came to a halt on a spacious balcony on the second floor of this palace. When I turned around to look behind me, I didn't see my brother's figure either.I heaved a sigh and made the decision to take a seat on a bench that was not too far away from me.From here, I have a clear view of a gorgeous sunset accompanied by a very calming atmosphere.Caused my heart, which had been beating rapidly, to begin to slow down, and it eventually returned to its normal, calm state."What is my older brother thinking? Do I have to practice politics next... huff... just imagining it makes me sleepy," I said while putting my hands above my head and yawning slightly."Because of my mother's uncontrollab
- Hadrian Pov -"What kind of nonsense are you talking about, brother!"The first thing that went through Alice's mind was irritation, and she shot back an immediate rebuttal, whereas her mother simply raised her eyebrows in surprise."Why don't you see your mother first after you get back to your house? Is there something else that's more important?" My mother spoke to me in a soft tone and with a questioning expression on her face, but all I did was respond with a wry smile and say something."It goes without saying that nothing is more important than mother, but before I come see you, I just wanted to make sure about something."I walked over to the sofa in the room that was vacant, and without giving it much thought, I sat down and made myself comfortable there.The absence of excessive decoration in this room gives it a very clean appearance, but it does not take away from the splendor on display.There are many books on the shelves, some ornamental plants with lovely flowers, an
"ahhh... stop... please, I beg you..."There was suddenly a scream of pain in this once quiet and eerie room. This place also contains a large number of cells where prisoners are being held.When the prisoners heard the screams getting louder and louder, they immediately became terrified and tried to close their eyes. Some of them were already crying at this point.The scream was coming from one of the cells, and in front of the cell, it could be seen that there were already two women dressed in white robes and wearing masks that were engraved to describe an emotion.When you look inside the cell, there are already a few people there. However, there are three people who stand out the most, which prompts you to wonder why the three of them are in this extremely dim and gloomy place.Because the three people have such distinct and disparate auras, the two are women with stunning faces and bodies who are coveted by all women.The other individual was a male, but he had a very handsome fac
- Hadrian Pov - The three of us have arrived at the entrance to the location where I will be going. Two female guards are already seen guarding a staircase leading to the underground with only an iron bar as a barrier. The stairs appear very deep because I can only see darkness from the outside. When I, Emilia, and Sascha came closer, the two guards immediately saluted, and without any further ado, one of the guards reached into her pocket, took out the key and opened the door with the iron grilles. When the metal door opened with a loud 'clank' sound, I was the first person to walk through it, followed by Sascha, and then Emilia came in last. Without looking back, I could tell they were both a little tense when they entered this place, but after seeing me descend through these dark stairs, especially Sascha, who looked wary but immediately followed me without thinking. Emilia, who was in the very back, wanted to follow my lead but was still hesitating a little bit. When she rea
