730 The time to leave for the judgment by combat has come

One after the other, the women left until only Plow remained with Vincent.

Sofy was about to close the door when the door abruptly opened, and she was quickly pulled inside. Sofy looked at Vincent and revealed a seductive smile. She believed Vincent needed some exciting motivation from his personal maid.

However, that was not the case. Vincent stopped holding her and took a step back. A green light appeared in his hand, and a small bag appeared.

“Sofy. Can you do me a big favor and bet for me?” He asked while lightly tossing the small bag in the air and the coins inside, making a rattling sound.

“...” Sofy became embarrassed to have dirty thoughts in her mind when the man in front of her was wearing an elegant suit.

“Ahem.” Sofy cleared her throat and recovered from her thoughts quickly. “I will do the favor you require.”

Sofy received the small bag of coins. She took a peek, and her eyes widened. She raised a coin and exclaimed, “This! This a Hollowed Silver Coin!”

“Yes. I want you to bet that coin as well.”

[I wonder how much money we will receive after we win. Not to be a jinx or anything, but it is better to think positively and believe we will win.]

.....

-Positive? Losing means one thing. Some of us may die.-

[You are right! We need to win at all costs without suffering a grievous wound.]

[We need to return home safe and sound since you need to enjoy the company of your three new wives, hehehe.]

“Do you need something else while I am here? Like finding and helping you wear your clothes.” Asked Sofy with a seductive smile.

Vincent chuckled. He lifted Plow, opened the door, and placed her outside. “Be a good girl and wait for us. Sofy needs to help me change clothes.”

“Okay. Plow will guard the door like a good girl.” *Pho*

“Good girl.” He said before closing the door.

The door opened half an hour later.

Sofy exited the room. She fixed her maid outfit and looked inside. With a grin on her face, she left to bet on the Lionheart team.

A pair of hands grabbed Plow from inside the room. When her face leaned on a warm chest, Plow barked happily before snuggling her face in his chest.

“Looks like Plow likes this fabric.”

“Plow likes Vincent Vincent the most.” *Pho*

Vincent wore a new set of clothes made for combat. They appeared to be inspired by winter clothes adventurers would wear.

The clothes provided both maneuverability and warmth, yet the defense was lacking. The fabric was tough in the middle and soft on both sides. It made Vincent wonder how much Fabio’s fabric company was paid for his clothes.

“Looks like Lilith’s parents have spent a lot of money on our clothes.” Vincent wondered while walking through the two hallways.

Vincent arrived at the entrance of the church. He saw Sakura wearing a hood to cover her identity and Iris, also wearing a hood standing beside her.

After asking where everyone when, he learned how Karta left to deliver the marriage certificates in order to allow Mimi and Awa to compete, furthermore, Karta mentioned that Mirey’s marriage certificate would escalate the situation as the victim now became the wife of a Baron.

Maid Xu left with the residents of the Emerald Lionheart Mansion. She acted like a tour leader while making sure everyone arrived without a problem.

Sakura mentioned there was no need for concern because not only Ganni and Russo were with them, but the soldiers Vincent sponsored informed Maid Xu they were going to meet and attend the judgment by combat.

Vincent and Kazumi became reassured the Blackheart family or any other family would not attempt to cause an accident. If someone attempted to cause them a problem, too many soldiers would be involved, and the higher-ups would definitely investigate what happened.

Iris mentioned Awa’s parents and Lilith’s parents were going to ride the carriage together. Iris, Sakura, Lilith, Zero, and Mirey were going with them.

A few minutes later, the door to the bride’s dressing area opened. Leonis, Teresa, Amie, and Lamin appeared first.

“You better win. Do not even try to make my little angel sad.” Leonis told Vincent.

“The clan leader will not lose. ” Lamin expressed.

*Tsk* “Let’s go before you fall.” Leonis placed his arm around Lamin’s waist. “I will help you walk.” He offered.

Teresa giggled while Amie looked at Vincent with a puzzled frown. She didn’t think humans were significantly different than them.

Amie needed to interact more with Humans as she did not know Leonis had a reason for acting like this. He was still feeling as if Vincent had stolen his daughter from him.

After the four parents-in-law left, Lilith and Mirey appeared.

Lilith wore elegant winter clothes. She looked stunning. On the other hand, Mirey wore a winter cloak with a hood on her head as if she were a criminal in hiding.

[Mirey. Are you perhaps embarrassed to stand in front of Vincent as his wife?] Kazumi teased.

“...” Mirey didn’t respond verbally. Her response was physical. Her cheeks blushed red while her head moved slightly to avert her gaze.

“Vincent. We are going to leave.” Lilith embraced Vincent and kissed him. “We will be rooting for you.”

Lilith took Plow from Vincent’s hands and moved out of the way. Plow wanted to stay with Vincent, but she knew she did not have enough gigantification timer to help.

*Step. Step. Crack.* Sakura embraced and kissed Vincent next. “We will root for your victory, so return to us safe and sound.”

Iris took the third turn. After connecting their lips, Iris told Vincent, “I hope everyone returns safely. I have prepared Zero to help in the fight.”

“Yes. We will take Zero with us in the carriage and drop Zero in the waiting room.” Lilith explained.

Mirey was the old one left. She noticed the glances of Lilith, Sakura, Iris, and Plow. It made her feel nervous.

*Gulp* “I am going to do this because everyone did this. It is not like I wanted to do this with you or anything like that.” Mirey hugged Vincent while making an excuse.

Mirey stopped hugging Vincent and attempted to take a step back. But she flustered when Vincent’s arms did not allow her to retreat.

“What is the meaning of this... Hmm!?” Mirey was interrupted by a kiss on her lips.

Vincent let go of Mirey as he didn’t want to tease her too much. Yet, to his surprise, Mirey didn’t move. She allowed her lips to remain locked with his.

Mirey opened her eyes after hearing Lilith giggle. She retreated a few steps back and pointed angrily at Vincent.

“I did not want to do such a shameful action!” The tsundere elf exclaimed while her cheeks blushed brighter and her tongue barely poked to lick her lips.

Lilith went beside Mirey and placed her arm around her shoulder. “I am sad you had to experience that. I will protect you from Vincent if you want.”

“I... I can protect myself.” Mirey peeked at Vincent. “I do not need help for next time.”

Lilith giggled. He leaned her head and slyly whispered in Mirey’s ear, “I guess I need to lend you more books from my secret collection.”

*Gulp* “...” Mirey didn’t comment any further. Not after reading two books, Lilith lent to her with the excuse to pass the time.

One of the reasons Mirey chose to get married was because of the romance books Lilith lent her. But this is a secret Mirey is going to keep to her grave. She was too embarrassed to let anyone find out the truth.

After Vincent watched Iris, Sakura, and Lilith with Plow in one arm and Mirey held by the other leave the church, the door opened for the third time.

Four women appeared. They were the teammates who were going to fight alongside Vincent in the judgment of combat.

Lupa walked barefoot, yet she wasn’t cold. Lupa was already in her werewolf arms and legs combat form. Her clothes were white to complement her white fur.

As Lupa moved and tried to receive a compliment, Vincent could notice the clothes were made with care. They provided both warmth and flexibility.

Ester wore a winter version of her dance outfit. She wore warm blue baggy pants, a warm blue flexible long-sleeved shirt, and a pair of warm red gloves.

Vincent smiled as he recalled when Ester had captivated him during her dance. The red ribbons tied like a present around her ankles and arms were the trigger of the memory.

On the other hand, Awa wore ordinary warm clothes, while Mimi wore the same clothes as before. Awa was going to become a dark knight, while Mimi needed to wear clothes sewn with her blood to be able to shapeshift with her clothes on.

“How do I look, my mate?” Lupa asked while her tail happily wagged.

“I do not look funny with the thin shirt?” Ester asked nervously.

“Both of you look stunning. Lupa. You look ready to fight and have fun. Ester. You look ready to dance and show the people the worth of the body they thought was strange.” Vincent smoothly responded.

Vincent looked at Awa and Mimi next. “How are my new wives feeling?” He asked.

“I am ready to kick ass, haha.” Mimi joked.

“I am happy because of the bonding. I also like to see my parents happy too. Now I am ready to fight for the honor of my new family.” Awa responded with pride.

“Great. Shall we leave?” Vincent turned around. He stopped and suggested. “I know. How about a race to the arena? It should not take us fifteen minutes if we run.”
