The Magic Of Skill
Chapter 20's
On the bed, we hugged each other with our lips stuck together. Our tongues lick each other, this kiss is too wild for a human. Unlike when Florinas kissed me, Holiana was still a little understanding. He didn't plan to let me go, but the pressure was so weak, Holiana didn't force a kiss.
I lay on the bed, with Holiana on top of me. He pulled his head. We looked at each other, with slightly red faces, I saw a hint of doubt in Holiana's eyes. He strengthened his determination, namely by opening one by one button his shirt.
“Wait!” I stopped his hand, he stopped right before the inside was visible to me. With a little sadness I said, “I already have a fiancee, maybe you haven't heard of her. But I am the fiancee of—”
“I know.” Cut Holiana fast.
“Then why? You're not like you used to be.”
Holiana turned her face away. “This is my oath. I once swore to myself that I should live happily with the person who would one day save me.”
“... even so, this is the wrong relationship.”
“Then do you want to get engaged to me too?!” Holiana shouted, questioning something that made my whole body feel stiff.
“... what?”
“I. I don't mind being your second wife. Right, if you marry me, you can be King.”
“No, no, no,” I back off, rack my butt until it touches the end of the mattress. Now I understand what it was like to be Holiana when we first met. I was the one who was frightened, and Holiana who was leaning towards me with a horny look. “I-I-It's a bad idea.. Holian. If you keep putting on that face, I'm afraid I'm out of control.”
Without listening to me, Holiana hugged me. He clutched my face to his comfortable chest. In a soft and warm voice, Holiana whispered, “If you do not want to marry me. please. give me this sign.”.
“Tanda?”
Holiana continued to undress, “You should know..”
Jesus, do I need to see a naked body in order to understand the meaning of the word ‘mark’? It turns out that what Holiana meant was such a thing, the relationship of body and body, for a woman it was indeed a sign.
“If you refuse, it's the same as insulting my oath, Walter.”
Nevermind, already..
I won't take responsibility if anything happens.

Florinas fell silent after hearing my story, his eyes glaring, sharp, like an eagle ready to pounce on its prey. This is the scariest face Florinas has ever made and he showed it to me.
“Master.. don't say.”
“... I told you I don't remember anything after that. How'this? Hey, help me!” I asked Florinas for help with half crying. How desperate I am to tell this to the woman who annoys me the most.
Florinas thought a little, although his face still seemed to insult me, he seemed to seriously think of a solution. “Hmm... roughly what would Master's fiancee say if she heard this?”
“That's not what you think!! Also don't ever tell him, otherwise I'll feel something scarier than death. If Lennef finds out, he—”
“If Lennef finds out.. why?” suddenly a familiar voice sounded behind me.
That voice was the voice of my fiancee, Lennef, who inexplicably sounded like the voice of the Goddess of Death to me. I turned my face slowly. I saw my fiancee standing behind the door, then stepped closer with an extremely frightening suspicious face.
I once knew about a woman's intuition or something, if something like that did exist, then it's no mistake that Lennef would kill me right now.
“L-L-Lennef?? W-What are you doing... here??” I asked in a strange tone, cold sweat pouring out from all over my body. This made Lennef even more suspicious.
“Florinas, what happened to Walter?”
“Master sleeps with—”
“No, I'm fine!!” I closed Florinas' idle mouth because it easily answered that. Though the two of them usually do not get along, but when I was in trouble, it was as if they made an alliance without speaking. Woman.it's scary.
As the situation grew tense as Lennef grew suspicious, a miracle appeared that helped me. The door opened, and the figure of the couple most often attached Quine and Killifer. Quine came up with her usual face, as did Killifer.
Quine came to the three of us. “Mr Walter. I think it's time for us to go home.” Quine said in a polite tone.
“True, sir, I'm worried about the Empire of Nazaroth that we just left behind. Mainly.. about King Loiros.” Killifer.
Oh, yes, I forgot about the Empire. If it's not wrong, since I killed his Emperor, that country has no leader anymore. And again I'm not sending their bodies back, are they okay there?
“What do you think will happen to the Empire if Emperor Valarish dies I asked Killifer.
With just a moment to think, Killifer replied, “Possibilities.. Marquis Daralo's. He was a great man, a friend of the Emperor. If he takes the lead, I doubt the country will be destroyed quickly.”
“So.. he's a pretty troublesome person.”
Hearing my words, everyone near me stared in surprise. No, the one who does not stare in wonder is Florinas. I don't know why he smiled so proudly because I said it. I was confused as to why they were confused.
The first to ask about this confusion is Quine, “Master.. are you planning to seize the Empire?”
Wooaah it turns out that's what they think.
It's true, my words earlier can be heard as if Daralo became the ruler then it will make me bother. It's not wrong for them to assume I want to rule the Empire. But actually it's just a cry I used to say when I felt like getting into new trouble.
“No, I don't plan like that. What else do I need? Treasures worth a mountain of gold, two swordsmen who became my comrades, a beautiful fiancee, and one new friend who is a legendary Spirit.”.
“Master, you didn't call me?”
No, you're a tertiary necessity to me. By the way I don't really care about luxury either, so just think of Florinas as ornaments.
“True too.. Where is Varnella? You guys done buying her clothes?” I asked Quine and Killifer.
Quine and Killifer looked at each other, they made confident faces as if there was something they wanted to show me. “Mr Walter, you won't believe it when you see Miss Varnella later. She's very pretty. But he felt ashamed when he met Mister, so he waited in his room.”
“Good, I can't wait to see it.”
Suddenly, a white dove appeared in front of us. He flew from the west, flapping his wings that were breaking down feathers like snow, and perched on Quine's head. The bird was carrying something on its back, looking like a tied bamboo.
Killifer opened the letter immediately, but I stopped him and asked him to read it first. Killifer allowed me, even though this is a personal letter, it seems that Killifer's loyalty is unquestionable.
The content of the letter in bamboo is like this;
‘Emergency, Emperor Valarish is dead. Killifer, you don't play hide-and-seek at a time like this. You who went with Emperor Valarish at the festival uprising must know something, right? I know you're alive. There are no dead bodies returned to Nasaroth. If you receive this message, immediately discard the message and go to the palace without talking to anyone.
Signed, Marquis Daralo.’
Marquis Daralo, I'm surprised you're a person who cares so much about your own country. Whereas for a noble, let alone a Marquis, he could manipulate the politics of the country easily and make himself an Emperor right then and there. An undisputed ticket to heaven.
But he chose instead to clarify the situation.
Is he really afraid of me? That's how I felt when I first read this letter. A letter written with fear.
“What's up, Master?”
Sometimes I need to understand how to lead.
I think I've experienced this before.
“I'm sorry, Lennef, can you call Varnella for a minute?” I asked Lennef for help. At the end of the sentence, I accompanied her with a blink of an eye that was the code for her.
Lennef understood that it was a sign that he would leave and not listen to what I would talk about next, “Alright, I will call him.” My beautiful fiancee left.
I let the three remaining people read the contents of the letter from Marquis Daralo to Killifer.
“If not wrong, the Empire and Raverine are next to each other right?” my many.
“Yes, we are only separated by seventeen kilometers of vacant land.”Quine answered.
“I've thought about it. All right, I'll take Nasaroth, but not in my usual way.”
“What do you mean.. Master?”
I explained my plan to them, “In short, I will not really master Nasaroth, but I will master its leader first, the Daralo.”
“But.. it wastes time.”
“That's exactly what, I do plan on wasting time. What I want from Nasaroth is not its natural resources, but its human energy. I need a horde of strong men who dare to die as a reserve army.”
Quine understood my explanation, “I understand. If Master Walter immediately raised himself to be Emperor there, they would definitely not accept and even rebel.”
Killifer gave an additional explanation containing negative fat, “Then why not use Complete Order, or Royal Servants to make them all obey? Hypnotizing people across the country is not impossible for Mr.”
“The reason is two. First of all, I told you that this is just a waste of time, let's just say that Nasaroth is a golden tree that we take good care of without magic or anything like that, so we can enjoy the results to the fullest. Second, I want to know how smart this Daralo is, if he's not what I think then I'll replace his leader with another.”
Now Florinas who added, “Master, how to prove the intelligence of Daralo?”
“Easy, we make it as if we are a team that has a strong relationship with the king. Until Daralo calls us, show him how weak we are. He will feel that he has manipulated us, leading to Raverine's manipulation. Obviously he will feel like he won. But every step that he will take, we must arrange it first. For that, you need a trusted Daralo who can manage from behind the shadows besides me.”
The three of them thought, roughly who could be that person. When they realized what they were thinking, Florinas and Quine immediately turned to Killifer. Right, the person I'm referring to is Killifer. Killifer will be in charge of giving false reports about me, so he'll feel victorious. When he keeps feeling like he's winning, I'm going to keep blackmailing him.
“For example, Killifer reported to Daralo that Meffery Walter could be attacked at any time. Then Killifer will take Daralo's troop to where we prepared it. That's where we can disarm him and his country little by little. Oh, yeah, I don't want to have a muscular soldier like that. So let's just say it's a game for Quine, Varnella, and Florinas, with Killifer in charge. The name of the game is ‘lamba steal imperial treasure’.”
The three of them were silent to hear my explanation. Although it was silent like a statue, it could be seen how enthusiastic they were to steal Daralo's allowance. I had even forgotten that this plan was also somewhat reckless, but those who heard it as an order did not care at all.
“Master. Even though you have the skill to complete the plan at any time, it's great when you say such a neat plan. Manipulating people who are trying to manipulate us. It turns out to be true.. Master is not an ordinary person.”
“Ya. I need a soul to present anyway.”

“Ampuni me! Sir.. please forgive me!” that ugly fat man licked my shoes to show how despicable he was. He was constantly asking for forgiveness.
Naked, he showed all his ugly body parts. His stomach is distended, with fat in layers. It was even very difficult to stand when he was prostrating. Especially looks like a nasty guy disgusting.
Standing between me and Varnella, was a beautiful girl who covered her naked body with a blanket. Her eyes were already covered in water from her cries when she was raped by the fat man who was prostrating on me.
“You want to get forgiveness from me?” I asked the fat man.
He whose face has been battered because I was beaten then showed a big smile, “Ya, yes, I want,” and he nodded like a dog.
“Then kill yourself first.after that I will revive you. With perfect physique, nice body, handsome face, so you can use women like dolls.”
He swallowed my words with a blank look. “T-Master.. please don't joke. me. I don't want to die.” She crawled up my body, hugged me around my waist and cried there.
Disgust.
“Varnella, where did you find someone like him?”
“Of course that's part of his plan, Mr. Walter. This guy is a noble, he can fool many women easily, especially women of the lower class.” Varnella.
“Wah, I'm amazed you can enjoy the body of women among the lower class.” I said to the fat guy.
Varnella answered him instead, “Look at his face, he is an acute pervert. Women like anything no problem, he's just a dumb noble.”
“.. a-what I did wrong.. T-Master.. Mr Walter?”
“Don't call my name!”
Responding with my dislike of the fat man, Varnella immediately burned the man down. His body was filled with flames, thick smoke billowing over his head, it could be seen how tormented he was. The fat man clung to me, but the heat was only felt by him. In no more than 10 seconds, the man turned to ashes.
“After all, let's hope you're right Varnella.
“Sure, Mr. Walter, I will not disappoint you.”
