After getting back up Hiro and his wives returned to the rest of the group. While the matter was settled, the repercussions of the discussion did not. The good thing to come out of this was the improved relations between the three empresses, this bond helped them immensely during their four-month training.
Back in Partisan, Hiro was in front of a delegation of battle harems that had yet to choose a side between Rhyne and Dylan. While among them some expressed their intent many still did not. Currently, Hiro asked his spymaster about Rhyne's submissives.
'I am sorry master, aside from the spouse ranks, we hardly have any information about everything else. Her devoted who actively performed missions for her all disappeared, and are pressured to be dead. The Princess' toy and dog ranks do not have any information known to the public.'
'Well, the devoted is expected, I killed all of them after all. Well everyone except Rilu.'
In surprise to such Hiro's declaration, Xing felt dumbfounded 'Eh? You killed them all master? But the timeline seems before you arrived here does it not?'
'Yes, It was me, I can give you a description of all of them if you like. But that is not important. Focus on the other subs we will hunt them all. Find them for me.' Ordered the butcher.
'I understand master, the princess is said to hold one day in a year where she summons all her pet ranks. Her so-called Pet Appreciation Day, unfortunately, I still have yet to figure out when it occurs. Other than that, unless we get more members for Redeemed. If may take a while.'
'That is fine, I believe none of these group's battle harems are good eggs right?'
'Yes master, due to being desperate they grab hold of extremely poor excuses for battle harems. Among them are just trash that leverages their status in the kingdoms yet not having any victories under their belt. The ones that have some ability did not approach Prince Dylan looking for allies.' Explained the spymaster
Alan interjected with his own observations as Hiro and his wife conversed. 'Master, the odds that trash would participate in the second round of matches would depend on if you wish to join again. Three Swords already has all the points needed to move on to the next round. If we include the battle harems we intend to protect. The final 30 battle harems would all be accounted for. With thirteen groups to spare.'
'Hmm. Be that as it may, if we cannot kill all of them, we need to be present. Then I will tell everyone to kill all the bad eggs and then abandon the matches. Although they wouldn't be able to gain EXP they would at least leave with their lives. For the more daring ones, they can head to the arena without us to level up.'
'That seems fair master, should I send anonymous messages to the other groups?' Xing inquired.
'Sure, say that the messages are from the spymaster of Redeemed.'
'Ah! I am to announce myself here?'
'To these groups, you should, that way those with brains would try to contact you. If any problems come up just use my name. What did you call yourself again?'
'…'
'Xing? Can you hear me? Do the brands no longer work?'
Alan's amused voice explained the lack of a response. 'She is shy my lord. We can still hear you.'
With her face flushed from embarrassment Xing managed to croak out. 'I call myself Venus master.'
'…'
'Master please say something. This is embarrassing for me too.' Worried Redeem's spymaster.
'Why did you choose Venus?'
'Mou! Just laugh already if you want to! I know it sounds stupid. In an ancient language, Venus is called the planet of gold. Because Alan is called Midas I wanted to associate with the same thing.'
'Alan, you better treat Venus properly.'I think you should take a look at
Even as he faced Dylan and the other groups, Alan and Xing noticed that Hiro could hardly suppress his laughter as he snickered in delight. Embarrassed at her Chunni ass name Xing bowed her head low as if wanting to bury her face to the ground. Alan similarly tried to cover his smile as he found his wife's demeanor adorable.
Dylan who noticed the odd behavior of the three knew they were discussing inwardly. While Dylan knew both Xing and Alan had such brands, the prince knew that Hiro placed extreme care in choosing who he gave them to.
Knowing that it would be improper to brand the prince, Hiro never offered Dylan the method of communication. Thus Alan became the sole representative of those who wished to reach Hiro.
Dylan learned long ago that while the butcher appeared to have no manners, unlike most nobles he only used them when he wanted to, not when the situation dictated it.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "Hiro, you still have yet to explain what you meant by the last statement. Can you elaborate?"????????????????????????????????.????????????
Many of the representatives raised eyebrows at Dylan's polite request. Words inferred a lot of meaning, from the tone, and sentence construction to what is said. Even the same sentence would have different implications.
Contrary to how Dylan normally was, he did not order, or command Hiro, instead as he declared he spoke to him not as a subject but as an ally. To someone as powerful as Dylan, the only ones worthy of such courtesy were royalty from other countries or those that had extreme military might.
Not caring about such thoughts, Hiro regained his composure and proceeded to explain his words in the same cryptic manner as before.
"It is just like I said, do not worry about deviants assaulting your countries after gaining from the BHR qualifiers. They will be too busy with their own affairs. As for protecting your groups. I make no promises. My battle harem moves to cleanse the continent of its filth. If your groups have some moral decency in them. They will survive if they do not then that is that."
One of the representatives stuck his finger toward Hiro as he shouted. "Who are you to act like that? You are just some commoner who got lucky! Your prince is ordering you to protect us nobles! Know your place and bow your head down you low-class piece of trash! You are lucky haven't NTRd your pretty wives yet!"
At the man's declaration, Dylan, Alan, and Xing all started to sweat bullets. How delusional was this piece of shit to talk to Hiro like this? This would be the archetypical young master, wouldn't it? Smug from his display of authority the man walked up to Hiro as he continued.
Those around him stayed silent. If even the empire's royal family behaved respectfully, only the insane would mistreat Prince Dylan's guest. Faster than anyone could see Hiro vanished and lifted the arrogant noble while strangling him. As the man choked his allies all started making a fuss.
"Sir Hiro! Unhand him, he may have a mouth on him but he is still a count in the Flarestar kingdom! You have no right to assault a noble as a commoner!"
"Does the Dominii empire wish to start a war with other kingdoms over such a trivial manner? Prince Dylan! The Snowind and Ironshield kingdoms are allied with Flarestar! Attacking them is the same as attacking all of us! Do you wish for a war?"
Hiro who heard the scripted act understood immediately what was going on. These groups intended to use whatever excuse they could find to leverage Dylan's lack of political clout. By forcing Dylan to avoid wars they would gain benefits or bribes they would not have normally had.
'This vile manner of fighting. No wonder the other empires all disappeared. If you had to cater to such selfish bastards their kingdoms must be absolute hell.
'Taking on three kingdoms would be good exercise, we can just push the consequences to Dylan. If I make it appear that say we freed the people from tyrants. Even Lene wouldn't disagree.'
The butcher then took the arm of the count of Flarestar and snapped it in half. The bloodcurdling screams of the arrogant noble started to fill the hall. Hiro then threw the noble into the ground and stepped on him. The demeaning position of the noble sent the rest of his allies into a frenzy. Yet Hiro's bloodlust turned them all mute.
"Listen here you fucking pieces of shit. I am not a subject of this empire or any kingdom. That was for even thinking of touching my women. Try saying something else about them and I will snap your spine in half next. As for the rest of you. I only have one thing to say.
"While I am in Partisan I am not allowed to kill any of you. Try leaving the city and see what I can do. Call your kingdoms and get their armies here. Because I have no affiliation, I can wage war on my own. The only thing stopping me from going out to loot and raze your kingdoms to the ground is my deal with Prince Dylan.
"Make no mistake, I am not anyone's subordinate. If you wish to make me into an enemy be my guest. But know that it will cost you dearly."
Hiro then pointed to the representatives of Snowind, Ironshield, and the count with a broken arm. His countenance showed a grin mired in insanity.
"As for the three of you. After the BHR is over. I am coming to see you all. So prepare for my arrival okay? We are going to have so much fun."
