Epilogue Part2 (1/2)

Sevens Epilogue: Second Half

… The new capital

Its foundation fully constructed, the representatives of various countries… when the representatives of the countries that took part in the alliance had gathered, winter had already gone by, and the ti

The development plan of the capital was still half-way there But as they couldn't put it off any longer, they gathered the representatives, and Lyle officially proclaimed his enthronement and the formation of his empire

He had already begun his rule by then The area once under the Bahnseim House's direct control On top of that, the territories of the feudal lords Lyle had crushed on the way That added to Rhuvenns and Beiet out ofthem

From thewas already one where he had to bear responsibility He was onlya formal proclamation of it

The palace in the center of the new capital was completed, and that fortified city held a non- standard construct new to the world That castle supported up by pillars of verredients used to support such weight were the Legend Dragon's horns It used those red horns, with those cri up a massive structure

The representatives of the countries gathered in the receptions hall sed their breathes; not only at its expanse, but its nificence as well It hadn't been built as a siht to prepare this so soon… with all else considered, by their national power alone, they would be a terrible foe to stand up against

Lyle had succeeded in giving that impression

Standing in the hall as representative of Beihter was one of Lyle's mistresses, so he had been invited over

The cerein, so for not the representatives spoke ast theentle In such a place, all waited for the rites to begin

As those around knew Fidel had supported Lyle since he was a naates permitted him to line himself shoulder to shoulder with them

(Guild executives And the representatives of nations… everywhere's exhausted, so it doesn't seeainst the brat Well, when the princesses and queens of surrounding countries are his uess it's idiotic to start any needless conflict No, wait! We're talking about that brat here Perhaps he's waiting for soer! He's the bastard who got Vera in his hands with dirtydirty on his mind)

Alone, without changing his expression, Fidel thought to himself, but as he had continued to support Lyle financially all this tihter himself

That's just hoerful they thought Lyle was And that only irritated Fidel more

(Dammit They think I offered Vera to hiet him back for this I'll harass that brat the hell of it!)

While he was proficient as a hter All the way he wished that the cereet over with already…

… In the roo with Nove in order with the assistance of the Valkyries

Unable to take part in anything too modest, they wore the expensive attire they had ordered for this day But here was a battlefield

Nove her hair in order To her side sat Miranda

”I've reatest blunder was adding you to Lyle's hareret it dearly”

As Novem let out a prickly air, Nove care of her nails

”Right I also think I should've just abandoned you back there I regret saving the idiot crying bloodya ruckus by herself”

Seeing the two laugh a a dress, she moved around too much, and it had become disheveled A Valkyrie reset her clothes

”Uwah, how scary I never thought the battles betohtly”

Near Shannon was Elza in her undergar carried out by Monica's hand

”That's right I won't let myself be a part of it”

”No one cares about that, so put this on I'o over to the chicken dickwad's place and get his appearance in order I' from the loneliness”

Shannon looked at Monica and sighed

”You sure he isn't going over his address right around now? Lately, whenever you approach him, he's extremely surprised, you know?”

Elza nodded too She accepted the dress fro around her to help her put it on

”It was the saet some new sort of trauma? Ah, it fits perfectly now You have my thanks”

There ca Ludmilla and Gracia A problem had coarments

”Why do our dresses overlap!? Deep purple iselse!”

”I wanted a cale!”

Looking at the feud between the two, a topless Eva seemed fed-up Her pink-blond hair covered the important parts

”They never get tired of it, those girls”

Having finished put on her dress, Clara was done preparing, so she sat and read a book She spoke up in regards to Eva's statement

”Right, right Rather, why don't you just put on your dress already? It's not our part yet, but the country representatives are already in the reception hall, aren't they?”

Eva stroked up her hair

”Notflashi+er…”

”In another corner, may and Marina seemed uncomfortable

”These clothes… are hard to move in And hot”

”Why am I here…”

The First's wife taking a liking to her, Marina's inclusion as a mistress was done then and there Nearby Marina, even Marrianne was present

”That's my question Why auild executives congratulated me for some reason”

There, wearing clothes that clearly showed the lines of her body, Thelht

”You still have it good…before you've learned true desperation If I didn't slip in here, I'd probably never be able to in my life”

The latter part was spoken quite seriously Looking at Thelma was the current Holy Maiden of Zayin, Aura

”If Thelma-san's here, I don't think there's any need for me to be here, you know?”

But Thelma touched a hand to her face

”Ah, that's no good I mean, to the country of Zayin, you're the official Holy Maiden It's going to become hereditary, so it's i over how Zayin's future's secure with this”

There were various probleathered, and Vera took a look over them An overly numerous number of Valkyries surrounded Vera

”If you don't want it, then properly refuse Rather, father… I told hi the harem, so what could his intentions be? And wait, why airls?”

Even when she had finished putting on her dress, the Valkyries surrounded her The ones surrounded in a similar fashi+on were Novem, Miranda and Aria

Aria was courteously being dressed She wasa troubled face

”H-hey! Why do you have to be so thorough? And it's a bit loos around hten it a…”

”No”

”Rejected”

The Valkyries giving immediate responses, Aria dropped her shoulders Her hair that always curled upwards had been set straight today While Aria was unable to keep calarments, the Valkyries stayed by her and voiced their complaints

”Young lady, don't walk in long strides”

”No sudden movements!”

With Valkyrie Unit Seventy One by her side, Lianne looked over the scene It seemed shehad noticed, so she asked Unit Seventy One

”Hey, an honest question, but could it be those four are…”

”Correct It would be best you hurried up, Lianne-san”

Lianne sat in her seat, spreading a folding fan to over her mouth

”That's a surprise With Novee if they assaulted him, but Aria and Vera? I should be a little more assertive myself”

… In what? No one around thought to ask

”Ah, I got some cream on it”

”Shannon, hurry and change And Elza, you stop eating too”

As Shannon spilled her sweats and stained her dress, Miranda scold her While she was at it, she got angry at Elza eating sweets alongside her

Novem turned to Aria

”Aria-san, you can't sit settle down and sit still?”

”I mean… I just can't calm down I did want to wear a dress, but it's kinda e come this far”

May and Marina

”Hah, I want to eat some meat”

”Agree some meat over”

Vera looked at the two

”Of course that's no good We won't be eating ot that? The sa party”

As the two of them made faces of true fear and surprise, the other members… the mistresses pushed on by various nations couldn't let out their voices before these peculiar members…

”Are you screwing around!?”

Out of his usual tank top, Erhart stood in my room in for the reason, I was the one as surprised

”Like I know! This is the first I' anyterrified! Everyone… everyone's so scary If Aria wasn't there to comfort me, I don't knohat I'd…”

As I held back my tears, Erhart panicked I'm sure he had the same experience as me, or he had realized this wasn't soht choice to expand his circle of friends

I wanted friends who could understand this feeling, so I pushed various things onto him Like women, and fame

But I could understand why he'd be angry I never thought Marianne-san would be pushed onto me on the appointed day

That blasted Fidel, so this is the reason he sent that sht I told him to proceed talks towards rejection, but for me to take a mistress from the Guild as well…

”I-I'm sory But why does it have to be Marianne!?”

Even so, Erhart couldn't forgive his first love beco a mistress But Maksim in the same room tilted his head to the side Damien was the same

”Why? Because that Marianne-dono didn't have anyone special? And it seeathered quite a number of females' affection yourself”

”What's ht? Then I don't think this is a problem that concerns you”

Being cut down so soon by their words, Erhart collapsed at the knees

”EEERRRRRHHHAAARRRTTT!”

”I… was no good But even so, I wanted Marianne-san to find happiness… Goddessdammit!!”

There, Baldoir looked at us and sighed

”What are you doing, you four? More iress between you and Adele? I heard your confession was a success”

There, Maksim-san bashfully held up his head

”How foolish It succeeded But our relationshi+p is nothing further than a kiss See, I want to enjoy our newly-married life, 'Just the two of us'”

Perhaps that was a lo at me, or at Erhart Or maybe even Baldoir Damien sipped some tea

”How envious My research lab's going to be co my ideal woman”

Erhart looked over us

”… You're all definitely strange The screws in your heads have blown the hell away”

I looked at hi over how rare it was to see him in presentable wear

”… You've shown soht Erhart, I- the one who appointed you as a Free Knight- shall introduce you some women to make up for it How does Princess Annerinne sound? She's a cute person”

Erhart stood and pointed atdisrespectful,” but erhart was a valuable existence who complained at me Just leave at that Otherwise, there would be no fun to be found in teasing him

”Cut the crap! Just how h because of that fluffy Free Knight title!? Just the other day, I was sent a request for Dragon Slaying, and it really was nothing but trouble”

Apparently, Erhart defeated a Land Dragon Hoonderful I knew he had talent, but as expected of the nized

”In response to your good work, I'll give you public recognition next ti, you need only enjoy your harem”

To uy, back when Iat reality, but by the time he woke up, he had the harem he wanted in his hands

Some wishes do come true, I wanted to say

”As if I can support so ! At this rate, I really will be assaulted! I' raped here!”

… I ask you don't say that to soet assaulted already and co factor to be this damn tank top and the bride's father of all people

It irritatesto rile Fidel

There, Baldoir checked the ti near

”Lyle-sama… no, your majesty The time is here”

I took a light breath, and changed ht

”Understood I'll head for the hall”
