Chapter 111: Cicily Carmilla
"Would you mind sharing your name with me?" Masaru spoke while leaning against the wall where he placed several barriers to guard his blindspot,
"Cicily Carmilla, so you're the one who planted spies within our ranks" Cicily said nonchalantly, her eyes never left Masaru however, she smiled as if she sensed something interesting from him.
Masaru chuckled as he did not feel guilty of his actions, it was the norm that factions would send spies to each other and it was happening even now. "The name is Masaru Belial and their spies but at the same time they are not because they never betrayed you, they are only keeping me informed to prevent events like this one" Masaru explained without care,
"So you know of our battle with Tepes?" Cicily asked,
Masaru nodded "I know of that including the people supporting them, when is your sister coming?"
When Cicily stepped out of the darkness Masaru saw her beautiful face, with aqua coloured eyes. Black hair with purple and pink highlights at the ends, wearing a white sleeveless shirt and black school blazer over it, black school short skirt. Wearing white sneakers on both feet but her left was covered with plated shin guard, her left hand was covered with a bloodred gauntlet with two swords attached to her back in their sheaths.
It has been a while Masaru came across someone who could drag his attention to this degree, and even Cicily could not help but look at Masaru's body feeling a bit hot when she noticed how perfect he looked. Masaru could not help but arch his brow when he realized the pupils of Cicily changed momentarily when she was glancing at his body, however, since it was not an attack he did not care what she saw.
But soon their staring contest was interrupted by an older looking lady who had similar looks to Cicily but her hair was completely purple, wearing a purple dressed stitched with diamonds and frills. When she saw Cicily was not making a move but instead looking strangely at the boy in front of her she could only sigh, it had been many years this tomboy sister of hers actually took an interest at a boy.
"So your Masaru Belial?" The empress asked glancing at the boy that looked much more handsome than most vampires she is acquainted with.
Masaru nodded, "I am sorry that I had to use this method to bring you here undetected but right now Carmilla is riddled with traitors"
The empress nodded with a meaningful gaze before saying with a hint of sarcasm, "Like yours"
Masaru sighed when he noticed this woman was going to drag things for longer than he can allow, so he immediately got to the point "Listen I have no time to deal with you two, I need the two of you to get rid of the babies from these locations before I blow them up. I need to keep my identity intact until I can learn more about this group of madmen that only wants to create destruction"
The empress took the map Masaru handed her, "How can I trust you?"
Masaru thought for a moment then glanced at Cicily before nodding, "How good are you at acting?"
Cicily was taken aback by this question but she smirked like she enjoyed challenges "Could at least say better than playing a corpse"
Masaru nodded then looked at the Empress, with this he had a solution so he could silence the empress instantly with a reasonable reason and get his job done. "She can follow me during the entire mission, she will have to stick with me as my informant. That way she can report to you everything, is that to your liking?"
The empress was quite surprised the boy actually compromised with her to such a length but she was still wary, Cicily, however, found Masaru quite interesting.
Seeing the empress being hesitant he muttered with a cold voice, "Let me tell you if I was not considerate, I would have killed these babies without caring. Not only would you not be able to stop me, but even if you use your country you can't oppose me"
Hearing this Cicily and the Empress flinched and Masaru continued, "And here I am making a compromise since I don't want to drag in the innocent in my investigations while being a double agent for Khaos Brigade. So what I am doing is already giving you more than enough face, remember I am not your servant" Masaru said with a cold voice as he glared at the two of them.
Cicily realized her reluctant sister had offended Masaru who was already being cooperative, she shook her head before saying to the Empress, "Sister, let me follow him, It has been a while since I left the castle anyway"
The empress sighed at her sister being so carefree, she glanced at Masaru. Only then did she realize that she was not dealing with her own people but someone of another faction, her eyes wavered before she nodded "Fine, I have already brought my men to transport the descendants of our race"
"You should have done this first," Masaru said with a trace of disappointment,
"Now now, no need to continue the fight" Cicily said as she tapped Masaru's shoulder with a smile,
Masaru glanced at the girl but shook his head, it did not take long for all the babies within the Manor to be engulfed within the darkness, teleported to a safe location. With nothing holding him back, he instantly blew up the building before heading to the next one.
"Are you sure you can cover for me?" Cicily asked not doubting this boy's ability since she knew if she made a move even in the cover of the darkness he would have detected her which meant he was incredibly strong.
"I can, however, it will be for a limited period as I will have to drop you off at the Empress side again when you return you need to lay low," Masaru said,
Cicily thought for a moment then asked, "Why can't I just follow you?"
"Because One, I am engaged with quite a few girls. Two you're a vampire, three your sister needs you" Masaru gave three reasons for now,
"I never expected you to be that kind of guy" Cicily said with a surprised face, she honestly did not expect someone like Masaru would have a legit harem. She did expect maybe two or three considering that he was handsome, it was truly surprising.
Masaru smiled wryly, "They chose me and I took responsibility for it"
Cicily felt this man next to her was really interesting, 'I will monitor his actions... I am not sure why but I feel like I can have fun following him' Cicily thought while they moved to the next building blowing it up.
Masaru, however, was feeling something was not entirely right with this mission, there was no purpose other than creating chaos and a war between two factions. 'It's almost as if I am dealing with someone who simply wants to be evil' He thought.
The two of them finally completed their work before Cicily went together with Masaru to meet up with Bryantphas when they arrived Masaru could see this man was not happy seeing Cicily "What is this girl doing here? Are you betraying us Masaru?" Bryantphas asked,
Masaru smirked and answered nonchalantly, "She is my contact in the Carmilla faction like you have your contacts, she helped me to destroy the locations faster without being detected"
Hearing Masaru's explanation Bryantphas nodded since he did not receive any reports from his contacts meant Masaru did not betray them, however, they would never imagine the Empress was already cleaning her palace thanks to Masaru who used the very same spy he had to contact the Empress to guide her to each spy that was not his.
"Well since the task was completed, you may go however please know that we will be moving to the next phase of our plans to start a war between the two factions in a month's time," Bryantphas said while feeling uncertain of Masaru, although he could not point it out but he felt Masaru was someone who could be a valuable ally but as an enemy that needs to be eliminated immediately.
Masaru nodded when he heard Bryantphas explained to him the plan they had, Masaru took Cicily's hand causing the girl who never held hands with a boy to blush beet red not resisting his hold.
When Masaru teleported away, Bryantphas called one of his servants to monitor Masaru. But Masaru was already long gone from the destination of his teleportation circle when the devil was stalking him.
>\/<
"You can teleport back to your country through this magic circle" Masaru explained pointing at the circle he just created in the Disciplinary Committee Office.
Cicily was still at lost when she felt a bit lonely when the warm hand held hers but she still nodded before walking onto the circle she gave Masaru a strange look before disappearing.
Masaru did not notice the kind of look she gave him but instead chose to head straight for Sirzech's office, just when Masaru teleported in the guest room he nearly lost his head when Grayfia appeared behind him thinking he was another intruder.
"Oi oi! Calm down Grayfia it's me" Masaru spoke calmly to the maid of Sirzech allowing her to confirm it was indeed Masaru before she let him go,
"Did someone try to break in?" Masaru asked as he could more or less guess why this woman would go this extreme, Grayfia only nodded leading him into Sirzech's office.
Sirzech was swamped with more work but he was not having a good time at all, ever since they took care of Keterea the Old Satan Faction became even more secretive in their attacks. Even with Masaru's information, there were instances of attacks Masaru had no idea of.
"Ah Masaru, you came just in time" Sirzech spoke with a smile before handing over a stack of papers, what his intentions were to have Masaru help him.
Masaru did not reject and assisted Sirzech while he reported the events behind the Vampire factions, "We have no choice but to stay out of this event till they approach us, but for now I want you to focus on the Old Satan Faction. From the looks of it, their attack patterns changed and some of them you did not know of"
Masaru nodded as he knew there were quite a few low-level attack plans he was not notified of which was why he had the girls stay at home regularly while he was out on his missions to guard his territory. "Also I have someone I would like you to meet" Sirzech
When Masaru heard this he turned to look at a beautiful woman appearing in her twenties with long, wavy, pink-coloured hair and two horns protruding from her head wearing a high-cut formal dress with high slits and has a well-endowed bust and slim waist.
"Her name is Roygun Belphegor, and she asked me on many occasions to meet you" Sirzech smiled while looking at Roygun who appeared to look at Masaru with a heated gaze but swiftly composed herself, she kneeled in front of Masaru looking at him with nothing by respect.
"I know it may presumptuous of me to ask this of you, but I wish for me and my peerage to become your retainers," Roygun asked with a determined gaze.
Masaru naturally knew this lady investigated him since he had Ulrika investigate her as well, former rank #2 in the Rating Game and the only one Masaru and Ajuka had removed the King Piece without causing any side effects in loss of lifespan.
"Are you prepared to give your life to me and me alone?" Masaru spoke harshly as this was the test of this lady,
Roygun was not certain what he meant by this question as she already said she wanted to live her life for him, however, somehow she felt the question he asked was serious and he really meant what he asked.
"I meant by becoming my retainer not only in this life but in the next as well... You heard of my abilities have you not?" Masaru asked as he glanced at Roygun sternly. He needed her, but he had no time to cultivate his relationship with her and he required more talents.
Roygun blushed beet red looking at Masaru who was younger than her and even handsome, 'He wants to use the Kissing prayer on me!?' She thought excitedly almost lost herself in her imaginations.
Masaru smiled warmly, "No need to rush, as this is an important decision to make. It's not that I don't trust you Roygun, I simply want to keep you for myself the moment you come to my side" Masaru spoke his selfishness openly because he knew the capabilities of this lady, including her fetish.
If Roygun never investigated Masaru beforehand she would have outright rejected him but she knew how serious he was about having her at his side, 'Does he like me?' she thought
Masaru then gave her another reason to accept "If you agree, I can have you play in the rating games as my pawn. Although you will still remain a King of your peerage at the same time as me, you will be my peerage. And participate in the Rating Games with me"
Roygun felt her heart shook as she understood this boy too investigated her which meant he did indeed take a liking to her. "Why did you never approach me?" Roygun asked something that bothered her, from what he showed it appears he really wanted her but he never came towards her actively.
Masaru wry smile, "Because I don't like forcing people, and honestly the work I do is preventing me from doing things I want. So I can also say, I did not have a chance to come and talk with you"
Roygun nodded, Masaru knew what she meant so he took her out of the Office where the two of them spoke for a long while before Masaru allowed his pawn piece to enter her body, from now on she may be the king of her own peerage but she was now a pawn of Masaru's team. If Masaru did not become as strong as he became today, he might have not been able to use only a single pawn piece.
"Roygun, before I kiss you. I will say this, it may be rushed but I will love you like I love the other girls. I will naturally never let go of you once I do" Masaru said,
Roygun who heard this blushed feeling a bit shy how someone younger than her confess to her in such a way before the two of them shared a kiss tying their souls as one.
"I would never have accepted your proposal if I never investigated you myself, but I'm glad I did" Roygun spoke with a warm smile before hugging Masaru.
>\/<
"Are you sure?" Grayfia spoke, Sirzech had been planning to have these two match up for a while now but because Masaru always end up busy or he does, he never has gotten the chance to do this until today which was just perfect.
"Yes, she did respond favourably to my question after all" Sirzech spoke with a smile, he naturally knew of her situation with her family and to protect her from assassins that may come for her life he had to gamble that Masaru would take this seriously and he did.
"But to link souls for eternity..." Grayfia smiled unknowingly
Sirzech knew of this, "I will get them to teach that technique to me if you wish to be bound with me in this life and in the next"
Grayfia who heard this smiled sweetly before nodding, Sirzech actually already knew how to use this technique but Masaru made some modification that it can only work when both parties desire for it and it was the same type he used with Roygun as he wanted to see if she really desired him.
Little did the world know that from this day forth Sirzech and Grayfia were linked more than just marriage and peerage.
>\/<
Masaru took her hand then teleported to his home where he introduced Roygun to the rest of the girls, his mother and elder sister. Luckily his girls were all lovable so there was no hickup even if Masaru had two girls older than him in his peerage and harem, they all would still love him dearly as long as he loves them too.
"So Roygun, are you serious about Masaru?" Diana the mother and number one test any girl Masaru took a liking to had to pass,
"Y-yes!" Roygun nodded shyly.
Akeno noticed her lips were a bit wet before she asked teasingly, "You had a kissing prayer with Masaru too?"
Roygun smiled without holding it back as she knew what significance it held to bind souls. "Yes"
"You won't regret it?" Julia asked Roygun as she glanced at her expressions.
"Never" Roygun said wtih a determined look.
When the girls knew she shared the same link with Masaru as them the bonding between them formed faster but stronger as well, it was only later that night made known that Roygun liked boys younger than she and Masaru was simply the best choice she made ever since she was shunned by her own clan.
When she went to speak with Sirzech about her problem he gave her a solution but told her to be prepared for marriage instead since Masaru did investigate Roygun through Sirzech before the king piece incident and Sirzech knew Masaru took a liking although it was not of love at that time yet.
Masaru, however, was currently looking at the reports on his last two remaining peerage candidates, Cicily Carmilla and the Fallen Angel who was the current possessor of Incinerate Anthem Longinus.
It was not like every girl had to seal their souls with him but those he knew had feelings for him, he would not let them go and instead protect them all. Roygun entered his office with a warm cup of tea since she asked to be the one to do so when she saw Masaru was looking at the information she could not help but smile at how intelligent her man was.
"You really do investigate people" Roygun said teasingly,
Masaru smirked before pulling her gently onto his lap, "I will never force people, but I knew you had me in your heart and I had a liking to you. Which is why I took you, if it was me in the past I might have delayed but I know, women like you need to be held tightly and kept safely"
Roygun was not entirely used to the way how it was going so fast but luckily she was prepared thanks to Sirzech so she rests her back against Masaru's chest while looking at the papers, "Are these your last two peerage members?"
Masaru chuckled before nodding, he glanced at the papers "If everything goes well then yes, I am having Ulrika investigate the Fallen Angel for me since she has a mark on her head at the moment"
Roygun could not help but frown, Masaru gently caress her hair before telling her about his job as a spy and including his secret organization. Roygun was totally shocked at how this boy looked so innocent was actually already handling such things at the cruel side of the world,
"Do you regret it?" Masaru asked with a tender voice allowing Roygun to rest comfortable on his chest,
Roygun shook her head, "No, you never looked at me with scorn since the scandal happened. In fact, you even took me in knowing it could bring the scandal to your family"
Masaru was patient, gently caressing her hair, although their love was not as deep as he had with the other girls thanks to his experience with them he knew what to do and say to keep them happy. "Forget about the scandal, I will come with you someday and face your parents with you okay?"
Roygun nodded while feeling happy that he was already considering her feelings despite them being together so soon.
Later that night Masaru's bed was enlarged with magic since Roygun and Ulrika had now joined the home, from the looks of it they will be joining the company Masaru's mother and sister was working at but the troubling thing was the fact Masaru did not know what it was.
>\/<
The next morning Masaru was surprised by the turn off events as Ulrika and Roygun will instead apply for jobs in Kuoh Academy to which Masaru did not understand, did they not already agree to work somewhere else?
But he did not take it to heart and chose to introduce these two lovely ladies to Rias later today after school.
Today was quite a normal day with nothing exciting happening and the collaboration between Angelica and Masaru became excellent to the point they could sprint.
When the class came to an end Roygun and Ulrika came wearing formal outfits as if they were coming for an interview, this view naturally attracted the lecherous gazes of the boys but the two of them did not pay any attention to them other than Masaru who stood there waiting for them.
The two of them badly wanted to hug Masaru who probably waited for them outside the building till their interview was over, so he led the two of them towards the Occult Club.
Masaru was not certain if he was a curse but the moment he and the two ladies entered and were about to talk the Astaroth Family crest appeared.
Soon Diodora appeared together with his girls but Diodora was shocked to see Roygun standing behind Masaru and her gaze was affectionately staring at Masaru. "Why are you here?" Diodora asked Masaru with a stern expression.
"First I attend this school, Secondly I also have to see the young lady over there," Masaru said before glancing at him as if he was a fool, "Third, what does it got to do with you?"
"You---" Diodora grits his teeth glaring at Masaru.
"Enough, Diodora if you are here to trade Asia then get lost" Rias said as if she had lost her patience in dealing with Diodora after all this time,
"You will regret it, just you wait and see" Diodora said before he left together with his peerage girls.
Today was another attempt Diodora made to see if he could trade for Asia but since Masaru was here he behaved quite well before leaving the room.
"You really do have the best timing to appear" Rias spoke while glancing at Ulrika whom she was familiar with since the Rating game against Diodora, however, she was surprised to see that Roygun was following after Masaru.
Masaru smirked with a playful look, "Anyway, I am here to formally introduce my two pawns Roygun Belphegor and Ulrika Devegvar. The two of them will be working at the Academy"
Masaru introduced the girls while seeing that Issei for some reason was not staring at them lecherously as he would do normally,
'It appears he finally began to change' Masaru thought,
"Oh! To think you would snatch the former #2 in the rating game and even make her your pawn" Azazel came inside while being pleasantly surprised,
"Although she is still a king of her own peerage she will be a pawn in my team" Masaru explained,
Azazel nodded, "With her in your team the scandal of the King Piece latching onto her will disappear much faster, anyway. The next Rating Game match is Rias against Diodora and Masaru will be against Seekvaira"
Masaru who heard about his next opponent could only smile with a hint of anticipation as he knew these girls were different from Diodora, she was similar to Sona. However, for now he had to focus on the problem that was coming.
"I will send that Villian flying with my punch!" Issei spoke.
"Make sure you won't get sent flying just because you managed to achieve Balance breaker" Masaru said with a smirk.
"H-How did you know!?" Issei asked with a blushing face,
Masaru smirked,
Azazel smirked,
Rias Blushed.
""You are truly the most unique Sekiryuutei to exist"" Masaru and Azazel said at the same time since they both knew this pervert went and achieved his balance breaker by pushing Rias's nipples while they were facing off against Terrorist groups that attacked Kuoh Academy while Masaru and his peerage was gone.
"I have to say Azazel, did you predict this?" Masaru asked with a smirk,
"Although it was a theory, but seeing it happens for real was simply to mindblowing" Azazel said with a burst of hearty laughter while crying, it was really the most hilarious theory he came up with but seeing it he almost pissed himself from laughing.
"Well it's good you managed to achieve it" Masaru said as he glanced at Issei with a serious expression,
"Do you take Vali as your rival?" Masaru asked,
"Yes, but I also take Saji, Yuuto, Sairaorg and many more!" Issei said as he was brimming with fighting spirit he did not recognize himself.
"Good, then as my last lesson I will teach you as someone who once trained you. Stop trying to imitate the Vanish Dragon, don't set your eyes on Domination as that road is not for you" Masaru said with a smile,
"Huh?" Issei was confused, Azazel nodded with a knowing smile while Rias had a feeling she understood but also not.
"You don't have to understand, you will naturally come to understand when the time comes" Masaru said with a smile,
Masaru only laughed while he chatted for a short while with the Gremory team before leaving for the Disciplinary Committee, apparently, Roygun became the school nurse while Ulrika became vice-principal.
When Masaru arrive in the office he turned to face the girls, "I hope you girls can prepare yourselves, after Diodora's Rating Game and Ours, I intend to meet your family"
Hearing this Roygun was a bit anxious because she was shunned by her family for the scandal, Masaru noticed this and took her hand.
"You have extra work to do my dear" Masaru spoke softly before going down on one knee and slipping an engagement ring onto her finger, Roygun who saw this covered her mouth with her free hand and her eyes threatening to tear up.
'Is it alright for me to be happy? I betrayed my family even if I did not know of the politics behind the King Piece I still did...' Roygun nodded her head because she was afraid he might leave her,
Masaru sighed when he saw this grown lady feeling down so he pulled her into his embrace. Gently he began to caress her back whispering in her ears, "You should know that I was involved in that scandal, I know better than anyone that you were tricked. Roygun, you're mine now and since you became mine, you will have to face your family someday to determine if you will keep contact with them or will you sever your ties with them."
Roygun nodded while keeping her face buried into his neck, Masaru smiled wryly as he gently caressed her back "So take your time and think this thorough because when you go to meet your family I will go as well, I need to at least pay respect to your family"
Roygun nodded again but a smile was hidden in his neck, she felt really happy this man was gentle and looked after her.
Masaru made sure to speak with each girl in a similar fashion before leaving to complete paperwork and get in touch with Kobe Town's administration team to see how the town has been doing up till now.
