A/N:

Feeling generous here's another one

************************************

[Third Person's PoV]

Claire was seen waking up the next day laying down on Cid's arm. When Claire woke up she stretched out her sleepiness but quickly woke up when she saw the time.

"Oh shit we're going to be late" Claire said. She then started to shake Cid waking him up, "We have to hurry classes are about to start"

Cid still not wanting to get up just whined "Do we really have to get up"

Claire sighed as she rubbed her bottom cheeks that were painfully red in color. "I don't want to get up after receiving such punishments yesterday either but we have no choice"

Cid with a smug expression still laid there with his hands behind his head "That punishment was well deserved and you know it. I mean for you it wasn't even a punishment with how much you were moaning to hit you harder last night"

Claire just put on a perverted expression remembering their night together. She quickly gave Cid a kiss on the lips as she said "Can you quickly clean us up with your magic, you're better at using it than me"

Cid just sighed before lifting his arm slightly and conjuring a magic circle on his palm with runic symbols. When Cid actived the magic circle it's power soon enveloped the whole room including them. It was a cleaning magic circle, Cid years studying ancient languages and magic circles and the one he used the most, was the ones used for cleaning.

Claire feeling herself cleaned and smelling better just let out a sigh of relief before kissing Cid once again. "Thank you"

With that Claire quickly left her room closing it behind her and made her way towards her class. While Cid just laid there not wanting to get up.

Although he did get up reluctantly and started to get dress and sink into his shadow. When he reappeared he was back in his room, which he exited and went to class.

And just like that another month soon pass...

Alexia was seen with a sword in hand and a stance she managed to make in which she was the most comfortable in.

While in position she was looking at Cid studying his every movement "Are we going to be using magic for this one"

Cid thought about it for a bit "Sure I'll allow it, maybe it'll give you an advantage"

Alexia just clicked her tongue at his provocation and let her magic flow through out her entire body and into her sword, enhancing both of them.

With a quick step Alexia soon appeared infront of Cid and delivered a vicious sword strike, but Cid managed to block it with the flat side of his wooden sword.

Alexia didn't stop there, seeing that her slashes were working she started using the sword as a spear, sending multiple stabs with the pointed part of the sword.

Cid just kept blocking them, after a while Cid tried to disarm Alexia, but she held on to her sword tightly learning her lesson.

Cid then started attacking Alexia while she had to defend herself. Whether they were from slashes or stab wounds, Cid kept Alexia on her toes.

It was hard, but after a few minutes Cid deliberately left himself open. Which gave Alexia the perfect chance to counter attack, as she went to attack, she noticed it was a feint, a trick to get her. It was to late for her to fix her mistakes and Cid slammed his sword ontop of Alexia's head.

Alexia was crouched on the ground holding the top of her head "Ouch, did you have to hit me that hard"

"Sorry, not sorry, how else are you supposed to learn otherwise. Some people leave themselves open and vulnerable but it's all just a trap and the sooner you learn this, the better it'll be for you"

"I get it, but you still hit me so hard, do you have a grudge towards me or something." Alexia's said standing up but still rubbing her head.

While they started discussing what Alexia could improve, Zenon approach them with his signature friendly smile.

"I see you are still sparring with the princess even after all this time" he said. 

As soon as he approached Cid thought back to what he heard from Zenon's shadow.

It appears that Zenon has told the Diabolos Cult about Cid and his abilities but they didn't take Zenon seriously. Afterall why should they be worried about a kid that's only 15 years old.

To the Diabolos Cult, who have been alive for centuries their confidence is at the all time high. So why should they waste their time on a kid that hasn't even experienced life.

Although it disappointed Zenon, he still chose to maintain a close visual of Cid, monitoring his movement. And what he has found so far is nothing that seems to be that amazing.

Zenon thought that maybe the higher ups were right. Maybe Cid was just a kid and he was worrying about nothing. To Zenon, Cid just started to become the perfect scapegoat for his ultimate plan if Alexia doesn't accept his proposal.

"So Alexia have you thought about what we have previously discussed" Asked Zenon with a charming smile.

Alexia just looked at him in disgust and wrapped her hands around Cid's arm, she pulled Cid closer making their face touch. She then whispered in a really low voice "Please play along"

She then gave Zenon a reply in a super dramatic tone "Sorry to burst your bubble but Cid and I have fallen too deeply in love with each. I don't think I can picture a life with nobody else apart from him.

I'm going to have to decline your proposal, I think I'll just absolutely kill myself, if I'm with someone else that's not him."

Zenon just shook his head with a chuckle "You can't keep running from this forever princess"

Alexia just looked at him all innocently "I have no idea what you're talking about, I'm just a little girl. What you're talking about seems all grown up, something I just can't seem to grasp"

Zenon just narrow his eyes and went back to teaching the students.

As soon as he left Alexia just spit to the side "Disgusting"

While raising a eyebrow Cid asked "You wanna tell me what that was all about"

"*sigh* sorry for dragging you into this, that annoying bastard is trying to get engaged to me, which is the last thing I want"

"Oh, and why is that?, as people that are "deeply in love with eachother" I feel like we should tell each other everything" Cid said with a teasing smirk.

Alexia's face then grew flustered as she stuttered "I-I-I I was just just joking, it was all an act. You couldn't have possibly taken me seriously."

Cid just playfully shrugged his shoulder "I don't know, your love confession sounded pretty real to me. I have to be careful just in case you start falling for me for real"

Alexia's face just got redder as she punched him in the arm "Idiot" she said softly.

"Still why don't you want to get married to him I heard he's a great bachelor"

Alexia getting rid of her red face just look at him like he was an idiot "Argh, I mean just look at him, I don't get why but he gives me the creeps. And that smile he has on its clearly a mask. I don't know what he's hidden but I know it's not anything good.

Please let's not talk about him, when he's around. Let's just go back to sparring"

And with that Alexia picked up her wooden sword and got ready for more of Cid's lessons.

Chapter 44: Chapter 44

A/N:

I know what you guys might be wondering "Author? What an unexpected surprise. We're happy to see you"

All I can say to that is that I'm here unwillingly. This crazy girl by the name of @Beamingkangaroo busted through my front door, aimed a gun to my head and just looked into my eyes for a few sec without saying a word

Until she spoke just one word. One word that ignited all of this

"Upload"

That's all she said before she left...

Please send help

[Third Person's PoV]

"Can you come out with me today I want to discuss something with you" Said Alexia when their class ended.

Cid just nodded seeing nothing wrong with that. And so started their little date that's not really a date. Cid started to explore the capital with Alexia as she asked him for a favor.

"Can you pretend to be my boyfriend for a while, until 'He' leaves me alone and finally decides that it's not worth his time to keep chasing after me"

"Sorry I don't think I can"

Alexia then looked at him in confusion and grew teary eyed "Is it that you can't or is it that you won't? What's wrong with me that even dating me for pretense is something you can't do"

Cid just looked at Alexia like she's being weird "There's nothing wrong with you, I really can't date you, I'm incapable of doing it... afterall I'm married" Cid showed Alexia the ring he always had on with a multicolored gem on his ring finger.

When Cid took Alpha's and the others virginities, he crafted a ring with multiple enchantments and gave it to each of them. Each ring had gems that give off a shine the same color as their eyes.

While each time Cid took their virginity, the color of their mana would then be engraved into the gem of his ring making it multicolored.

Alexia's brain blue screened when he showed her his hand. Alexia's face then started growing red with shame and embarrassment

'I was falling in love with a married man, I almost became a home wrecker, God I'm so embarrassed. It's no wonder he didn't pay attention to my advances, it's not because I'm not beautiful, it's because he's taken'

"Yeah, i don't think my wives would appreciate it if I just started randomly dating the princess of a Kingdom" said Cid nonchalantly as he bought ice cream for the both of them.

Alexia stood still with a ice cream in hand and had to do a double take "Wait what? Wives? With an S? As in plural? I'm sorry can you repeat what you just said I'm not sure I heard you correctly"

Cid just looked at her wondering whats wrong with her today "I said... Yeah, i don't think my wives would appreciate it if I just started randomly dating the princess of a Kingdom"

Alexia nodded her head with the ice cream still in her hands "Yeah I thought I heard that. WHAT THE FFFFFFF.... deep breaths, take deep breaths. The hell you mean wives as in more than one, how is that possible?. How did the church even approve of such a thing? Polygamy is not something the church condones"

"Huh? Why the hell would I go to the church to get married?"

Alexia just looks at him like he's the biggest moron in the entire world

While Cid does the same, he looks at her like that's the dumbest idea he's ever heard.

They kept staring at each other like that while eating their ice cream.

Alexia closes her eyes and softly mutters "oh my God, you're serious. I can't believe he actually asked me that"

(A/n: is there an actual God in EIS, I mean there's a church so there must be a God right? Or does the church only pray for the heroes guidance?)

With a sigh Alexia starts explaining "it's for the protection of the goddess, so you can have a healthy relationship and your relationship gets blessed. Etc..."

Alexia then went on to explain the multitude of reasons on to why, she then finishes it off with "So since you didn't technically get married through the church, you're marriage doesn't technically count"

As soon as Cid heard this he started dying of laughter "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT'S HILARIOUS! my God Alexia I didn't know you could joke like that"

Alexia started looking at Cid with a bit of worry and pity 'Did hearing his marriage doesn't actually count break his heart and made him lose his mind... poor thing'

Just as Alexia was about to comfort him, Cid wiped his tears from his eyes for laughing to hard and shook his head almost dissapointed with her "Alexia, Alexia, you poor ignorant child, I sometimes envy your naivety. It's such a nice thing to have."

Cid's face then turned cold along with his voice "Listen well since this is the only time I'm going to say this. I don't need nobody's blessing or reassurance that I'm married to someone, if I say me and this person are married and that person accepts then we're married. I don't need some "higher power" to tell me or define my relationship with someone.

And What does my relationship with them need protection from? They're all very good women, so I don't have anything to worry about, if they weren't I wouldn't have married them now, would I?, My wives all accept the title of my wife graciously, just as I do the same as their husband. So don't insult my relationship with technicalities."

Alexia almost stood there stunned, she never heard someone speak to her like that, especially in that type of tone 'Did my comment really piss him off that much? Just how much does he love them?'

Alexia let's out a sigh with a smile on her face "You must really love them for you to get so defensive about this, I'm almost kinda jealous"

Cid face and tone just went back to normal like nothing ever happened and said "You don't have to really worry about the sword instructor. I mean you literally said we were in love with each other infront of the whole class, what's the point of even asking me now.

Look there's even people pointing at us right now and whispering things about our relationship"

Alexia hearing this grew red with shame 'I said that about a married man. Kill me now please'. She then looked around and saw students that were out and about pointing and softly whispering about them.

"No way, the princess and the Dark prince are on a date, so the rumors were true after all"

"Kyaaa! They look so cute together. The black and white together really is a nice contrast, it's like to opposites coming together to form this beautiful scene"

"Aww man the princess is so lucky I want to go on a date with someone who's as least as good looking as him"

"I still wouldn't mind if he took me up against the wall and had his way with me. I'm all tingling just imagining it"

"MACKENZIE WE TALKED ABOUT THIS!"

Alexia grew slightly anxious at that "I'm not going to get you in trouble with your wives, am I?"

Cid just shook his head "Nah don't worry they are very understanding. Once I explain everything they will understand"

Alexia let out a sigh of relief...

And just like that the two spent the rest of the day exploring the capital under the watchful eyes of students.
