Chapter 269 Return On Frayja Planet.

After the disappearance of two silhouettes on the mysterious planet, Alvine and Linn appeared in a vast and super-luxurious throne room, more precisely in front of his empty throne, on the planet Freyja.

He inhaled a large breath of soothing air and suddenly exhaled with nostalgic emotions.

"It feels good to go home." He murmured with a soft smile as he let go of Linn's hand.

"Where are we?" She questioned him while looking around her.

-Crrrrrr

But before Alvine gave her an answer, the throne room doors slowly opened, followed by two familiar silhouettes that entered the room.

The two people were none other than Yuer, the contracted Princess vixen of Alvine, and Ashiaphir, the direct assistant of Alvine, who take care of all the affairs of the natives in the absence of the king.

"!"

When they saw Alvine, their joy made them forget their good manners as they instantly appeared in front of him and unconsciously hugged him, making Alvine speechless.

"Something serious happened?" Alvine asked in an agitated tone when he saw them act like that.

But this feeling became persistent in his heart when he saw them silent in the face of his question.

He immediately checked the entire castle and the citizens of his kingdom with his perception. But after three more seconds, his heart calmed when he saw the radiant and lively faces of all those in the kingdom.

'Sigh; apart from the population that has increased, I didn't notice anything strange with my perception. But why do these two thanks to in this way? It hasn't even been a year on this planet since I left.' Thinking without a conclusion, Alvine finally gave up and let them take the time they wanted without interrupting them.

"AHEM, is this the cause of this waste of time?" Unlike him, Linn did not agree. Hence her question that she asked sarcastically, awakening everyone in their daydreams.

"You?! What's the world she doing here?!" Assiaphir asked in a hostile tone, noticing Linn's presence only now.

"..." a bitter smile emerged in Linn's lips corner after hearing Assi's question. It was only now that she also realized that she was invisible to the eyes of these two.

"Who is this woman?" Yuer also asked, with her white ears pricked up with hostility.

If Assiaphir was so hostile to this foreigner, it means Linn must not be a good person for her master.

Not knowing how to respond to their hostilities, Linn looked in turn at Alvine and both, waiting for Alvine to explain; since she herself did not understand why she was there.

Alvine gave both a little finger flick on their forehead with a bitter smile.

"Don't worry; her intentions are not dark towards us. So don't be so rude to our guest." He says with a funny smile seeing them massage their foreheads which are slightly red because of the bright whiteness of their skins.

"No kidding! Even if I trust you, this woman will never, never, never gain my trust." Assiaphir instantly replied, following Alvine's words.

"Who exactly is she?" Yuer became more and more confused as she saw Asiaphir's rage.

"She is...

"It was the woman who kidnapped our king! No, not quite that; she took him as a hostage with a spatial blade under his neck!" Assiphir interrupts Alvine's words while explaining what had happened on the planet of the Punishers.

"What? W-Wait, how can she threaten him with a spatial blade?"

"In fact, Lady Rina had ordered me not to explain anything before my king's return, but now this order no longer needs to be applied. While we were in a meeting with three foreigners on the planet where Dame Rina currently resides, this woman.........

Like an automatic speaker, Assiaphir explained (worse) everything produced on the planet of the Punishers without omitting a single detail, making Yuer even more rabid than herself.

"Maybe we should kill her, shouldn't we?" She asked coldly, interposing between Alvine and Linn like a wild vixen who showed her hostility with her folkloric tail and ears pricked up as if she were intimidating her prey.

*For the goddess's sake, try to reason with your pets. I am pretty exhausted just by facing the monarch of corruption.* Linn asked Alvine telepathically when she saw Yuer's hostility towards her.

"..." Alvine remained momentarily silent when he heard Linn's sarcastic tone, who seemed so angry, even if she had no reason to be since it was not quite a misunderstanding.

"Sigh, we'll talk about that later. For now, tell me about the current situation. Why can't I notice the presence of my wife and vampire advisors on this planet, except grandpa (Vandel)?" Alvine ignored Linn's words and asked what worried him the most.

"Right, They are currently on an exploration mission. But, Fufu~, is that all you noticed?" Assiaphir asked with sparkling eyes companied her mysterious smile.

'Hm? I see that she hasn't lost her bad habits. Sigh, it doesn't matter.' He said in his thoughts, bitterly scratching his cheek.

"You haven't noticed yet?" Assiaphir insisted once again.

"Ugh, very well, you won. But what would I have gained in return if I will guess your mind correctly?" Suddenly Alvine asked with his sinister smile.

"Huh? Do you plan to play this game again? All right, assuming I'm always in your head as before, what would you like to have as a reward? A new divine armor set? A potion or a new skill? Or...

"What are you telling me here? You still don't intend to deceive me with such insignificant things, do you?" Alvine made a hand-in-hand, stopping him.

"Urgh, I had forgotten this detail for a short moment. But if you get there, I'll give you a special gift. Otherwise, it would help if you let me accompany you as you promised. What do you think?" She made this proposal nonchalantly.

"Hmm? In short, I would say there is more succubus than before I left." Instead of agreeing or disagreeing with Assiaphir’s deal, Alvine responds instantly, no longer wanting to perpetuate the mystery.

"... Sigh, I was sure. You knew that from the beginning."

"Haha, it's not my fault if you underestimate me so much." He said while showing off his golden aura with a mischievous smile.

"Huh?! H-Have you reached the divine rank? What is this monstrous speed? Have you spent the last two months in the celestial ocean or what?"

"Oye-Oye, have you become blind now?" His sarcasm reaches another level while he intensifies his aura.

Best

Then, Assi's eyes began to shine when she looked deeply at him.

"... Impossible!!" She then spoke with absurdity.

-Haha, unfortunately for you, that's the reality. In short, I guess their absences are due to this factor, right?" He asked without paying attention to the incredulous expressions of Asiaphir or Yuer, who seemed to have forgotten to breathe.

"He reached the intermediate rank when I am the first to have reached the divine rank?" These were the words that Yuer constantly whispered after seeing Alvine's aura noticed.

But unfortunately for her, the others could only sigh about her bad luck at being born at the same time as a talented monster with a human shape.

'Tsk, I wonder how they would react if they saw the tribulations or the five divine planets he had unconsciously annihilated. But the most incredible thing is to see that everyone around him is so talented as to become geniuses who will be born every millennium if they were on another planet and with people other than this aberration.' Linn murmured in her thoughts while standing next to him with her invisibility status.

Her words were not exaggerated. On a mortal planet like Alzania with limited resources and energy, a mage who reaches an emperor rank in less than five centuries could have reached the divine rank in less than three centuries without too much effort if it were on another two-rank planet. Hence the veracity of her assertions. Even if she had not taken all these details into account, her perception alone is enough to see the talent of a practitioner.

"You're right, I created an elite squad, which has our queen as a leader, to explore the other planets and bring back the vampires, and the succubuses scattered to the four corners of the universe to gather them here," Assiaphir then revealed this information.

"Hm? Isn't it dangerous? There are currently too many eyes watching us in the shadows." Alvine asked with slightly contracted eyebrows.

"Oh my~, so milord is worried about the safety of his queen, a high-level divine mage, also?" She raised the tone slightly with wide eyes, exaggerating Alvine's words.

'Sigh, I had forgotten what kind of girl she was.' he sighed in his thoughts.

"Fufu~, don't worry about them; they are equipped with Lady Rina's teleportation parchments. But not only that, but they also have several means of escape in the event of imminent dangers, even against such a woman!" She replied sarcastically by pointing the finger at Linn.

"Hmm, if you say so. But what about those on the planet of Alzania? Can they cope with this bastard of Brave and his allies?"

"Um, with Sofia awakening the affinity of corrosion following her rise to divinity, our opponents calmed down after the first battle." Yuer gave this explanation after finally regaining her spirits.

'Hm? The demoness who was the empress of the demons? I knew she would be useful in this war with the affinity of corrosion, which is more useful in a war against millions of opponents. But I didn't expect to hear his exploits now.' He said to Himself thoughtfully after hearing Yuer's information.

"What did she do special?" He then asked.

"Hmm, if I rely on Miss Nicco's information, this girl alone took care of three million enemies with her divine law, the absolute corrosion that erodes not only the skin and magical energy of the cultivators but also their mind, turning anyone's mind like a vegetable mind! Coupled with her divine domain extending more than ten kilometers, she was like a scourge born only to cause genocides."

Hearing Yuer's explanations, Alvine was not surprised since he had classified Sofia as a protagonist of fantasy novels.

Linn, for her part, listened carefully to all their conversations.

'A user of the divine affinity of corrosion, huh? The deviant affinity that no weaker than the powers of corruption of the monarch of corruption. If this girl in question perfectly masters this affinity, it would be problematic, even for ancient beasts. And if she reaches the same level as Sabrina's butler (Sebass), then she will be a problem even for us, the primordials. Sigh, I can't know if this guy is over-lucky to have so many special people around him or if it's because of another external factor.' She said, at her side.

"Hmm, I guess I still have a little time before I return to Alzania." He said with hopeful eyes.

"What do you mean, my king? You still don't intend to leave with this woman?" Assiaphir frowned.

"Hehe, you are still insightful, little succubus. Ahem, as the battle has not yet intensified, I intend to let my fake soul manage the battlefield for now." He said with an embarrassing smile.

"No, I would have you call me an idiot for asking for such idiocies. Forgive me if what I'm about to say is a little offensive, but...

She paused while looking away and looked at the empty throne, making Alvine even more stunned than before.

'Because she can still say something more offensive than calling me an idiot even though I'm her king? And why do I feel like I'm being treated like someone who leaves all the paperwork to others to lead a good life?' He wondered, gulping nervously in the face of Asiaphir's silence.

"... If you have to go back with this woman, it is better that you take me with you. Even if my powers are not yet stable, I still remain the strongest of here outside Miss Sylvia, whose power is necessary for the protection of your subjects on this planet." She said, placing her hand on her chest while self-designating herself.

"My dear Chancelleress, your place is on this planet. Your task is of the utmost importance. Unlike you, I...

'Forget this idea; you're on standby. Your temporal affinity is one of the master cards the king's clone wants to use when the time comes. What will happen if you miss the call at the crucial moment?" Assisaphir interrupts Yuer, whose goal is more obvious even for a ten-year-old child.

"Urgh, but what about your case? Who will take care of the management of this planet that has more than a million subjects?"

"Sigh, I had planned that moment in the beginning. That's why I made sure to create an assembly that is made up of the ten most talented people than myself. Old Vandel is a good example. In addition, he is also the person who took care of all the tasks of our queen before she met our king. There is also this succubus, Yasmine, an intermediate divine magus that the explorer squad had brought back to the planet of dwarves. She was the head of the mercenary guild before joining us. Many others will know how to make good decisions in my absence. Even if I am absent for a year, I will always have peace of mind." She said with a triumphant smile.

'It's perfect to be back from home.' Alvine pronounced once again when he saw the invisible battle between Assiaphir and Yuer.
