Chapter 12: Turn 3.2 - Rance's Turn (01)
Author's Commentary: Let's do this slow and steady.
[ ~ Chapter • Start ~ ]
'Agh.... I'm tired of waiting...'
Rance sighed out as he immediately stood up from his throne, exiting the throne room alone. He knew Sill was doing her chores around the castle, so he let her be.
Everything feels so uneventful here, that he realized only at this moment that he could just go to Geofu's library and hopefully find an erotic novel to pass some time.
.... That's what he should normally do, anyways.
But, for some reason the church has been acting strange lately.
"Hmph. Those church idiots had already noticed that due to me, the people need lesser help from their priests and priestesses."
Before he decides to infiltrate Ur with Sill and Rozen so he can kidnap Prim to use as a bargaining chip after trying to seduce Kaguya first, he was already quite skeptical about the church itself.
It's like they're trying to hide something from him.
With a small grin on his face, he decided to take a walk outside the castle while Rozen followed him in the shadows. She's technically become his guard eagle at this point of time.
Because a war had been declared by a former alliance one day ago, Corneias and other army generals of the Kingdom were commanded to reinforce the borders of Geofu and prepare to defend it, and let only those from Rad and Thorn inside.
After he entered the temple, he flicked his fingers twice, and Rozen hopped out from somewhere hidden (probably behind a pillar or at the ceiling).
"Hm? What is it.... Your Majesty? You want me to search around the temple and report to you about what I found?" She asked, and Rance nodded, just before he swiftly went behind her and pulled her right towards him.
"Ain't it obvious? Also.... just call me Rance. Isn't that too easy to say?"
His warm breath and nonchalant way of speaking sent shivers all around her body, he had been like this a lot of times, and Rozen
was unable to resist as a moan came out of her mouth, one of his hands were on her abdomen, and the other was near her buttocks, rubbing her soft thigh.
It was quite obvious this vulgar man was just teasing her.
"I won't stop until you begin calling me by name."
"Tsk! Fine.... Rance.... now let me go."
There was a tone of resistance present on Rozen, yet it sounded like she had already given up and got used to things like this, and as promised, he let her go, and she immediately leaped away from him to do what he asked her, not before Rance actually noticed her blushing.
"She's really submissive." Rance commented, before shaking his head and moving forward.
He's been inside this temple a few times, so it would be easy for him to traverse around the place, right?
Looking around, there are three hallways he would just walk around, but.....
"I'm pretty sure the moment I walk forwards I'd be led to Celestine, so there are only two hallways I could go to...."
But where should he go....?
"Umu. Left hallway it is."
He nonchalantly turned to the left, passing by a few priests and priestesses that don't seem to snatch his interest at the moment, until he decided to check every room he passed by, until he saw Rozen pressing her ear on a wooden door.
Silently, Rance had began to approach her and raised his hand up, and with a grin, smacked her down below.
"Kyaa!?"
Rozen let out a squeak as she rubbed her butt, before turning around and almost hitting Rance on his face with a kick that was caught through her heel without much effort. Rozen gave him a small frown before pursing her lips.
"Tsk, fine.... there's people talking bad about you and... that blonde bitch beyond this door, so let me handle this-."
Rance's finger pressed against her lips.
"I'll just kick the door down and handle whatever is beyond it. It can be fixed later, right? I'm just going to listen for a short while..."
[ ~ Line • Break ~ ]
The archbishop of the Church of Larentia glanced over his six bishops (that governed over the Churches of six other kingdoms) sitting in front of a long table. He had called them here to discuss about another plan.
"That demon still has control over this kingdom, right?" One of the bishops asked, and the Archbishop nodded with a grimace.
"We don't really have a choice right now, framing the self-proclaimed Goddess Reborn is our only way to end that demon and secure the church's authority as the highest!" The Archbishop said, gripping his gold-engraved staff tightly, and narrowed his eyes "This is Larentia's will, I am sure about that!"
The bishops of the Fortress Cities of Thorn, Ansur, Ken, and Ur agreed, while the other two bishops shook their heads.
And the Bishop of Rad slammed his fist on the white table, before standing up and glaring at the Archbishop while a few heavily armored knights approached him and forced him to sit down.
"You wish to oppose the Goddess Reborn!? How dare you, Archbishop Lumens! And unhand me, templars!" The bishop yelled, trying to pry off the foreign hand.
"Sit down, Bishop Acheval." The archbishop sharply spoke, clicking his tongue upon the resistance he was showing. "This is for the better of the church, and the Seven Fortresses which will be truly united under Larentia as the Theocracy of the Golden Noon!"
"And as for you, Acheval.... you are hereby demoted-"
Before Lumen could continue speaking, three loud knocks were heard from the door.
"...?!"
Their attentions were pulled towards where the sound came from, and went silent. Is there someone important making a report at this moment?
That can't be true, right?
"Knock knooooock!!!!"
Rance's voice was heard behind the door, and the Archbishop grit his teeth and grinded it together with malicious intent. Did he find out....?
"Templars, b-block the door!" The archbishop commanded with a hint of being frantic, and the templars did as told without speaking anything, holding the door to not let it be pushed open.
But.....
*SLAM!*
An iron boot slammed against a Templar's abdomen through the door, blowing him away.
Reacting quickly, another Templar raised his spear to try cutting off the leg, yet it was retracted at the right moment, and then the door was blown away with another Rance Kick.
"Wow. That's so unwelcome of you." Rance spoke nonchalantly, entering the room with Chaos unsheathed and the said Templar Knight being slammed to the ground with one violent punch. "If I didn't pull my leg out at the right moment it would've been damaged!"
He entered with Rozen right behind him, grasping her obsidian daggers by their hilts, staring at the Templars, Bishops and the Archbishop with murderous intent.
"Hmph. I'm beating all of you up black and blue, before taking you to Celestine! Prepare for my judgement, Golden Dunces!"

{P-P-P-P-Partner..... I hate that dog girl....} Chaos, his sword, spoke with utter terror on his tone as Rance looked at him strangely. His sword rarely speaks that much, except when Fiends or the Demon King are put into the equation.
"Who? Luu-Luu?"
Rance remembered that the halfling proncess tried to straight out borrow his sword even for only a few days, though it took her around.... 37 or probably more times just to coax him into lending her his sword having sex with her by also giving him a special deal of forging higher quality weapons and armor for free.
{... I feel.... violated.... by that brat...! It's supposed to be... the opposite, DAMN IT!} Chaos cried out, as if imaginary tears were coming out from his three eyes.
"Seriously, what the hell happened between you two?!"
{.... It's best not to talk about it, partner....}
