Kapitel 26: The Party
(Author's Note: Man, I don't know much about Mushoku Tensei only the anime part, so after some decision, I decided to let the story go and create more AU Elements and finish this arc which is the main reason for my late updates since I am not getting any idea, don't worry I am won't be finishing this in just 10 chapters, at least above 25 chapters and then again there is a Multiverse Lore waiting for us)
...
3rd Pov
One can see a Hall, full of people in expensive clothes, and delicacies that only the poor could dream of, they were talking and laughing praising the delicacies that they never have tasted and the grandeur of the Mansion, which was all done by Minerva on Arthur's order, since he wanted to show off in front of other nobles so they don't underestimate him.
After all, he was just recently a commoner and then raised to the rank of Nobles which itself was a shocking thing, still, it was the King who did it so no one could say anything about this matter, not knowing the reason the King did was that Arthur manipulated him, not that it matters.
One can see Sauros talking with other Nobles and laughing while telling them how his Daughter-in-law helped in organizing this party, even Philip her husband praised his wife for her insight, not knowing his wife just received a creampie from Arthur just before the party started. Even If he had seen it, he would have not believed it was his wife but a look-alike.
After all, he would have been too shocked to believe that the woman moaning under Arthur while submissively trying her best to please him was his wife, poor Philip. Anyway, one of the main reasons that so many Nobles gathered here even from the different regions of the Asura Kingdom was they wanted to establish a connection with Arthur.
There were rumors about King having a personal relationship with him, considering him an ally and valuing him a lot, and considering Arthur's prowess in both Magic and Swordsmanship which is simply heaven-defying they considered it to be true, obviously, it was just a rumor and possibility for lower Noble Houses, but for Higher Noble Houses it was a truth.
Even, though they knew themselves a prodigy like Arthur is going to be a top powerhouse in the future, thus becoming his friend is a god-sent opportunity, even if they can't become his friends they can't become his Enemy. Many Nobles came to attend this party, and even if the Major Households were unable to attend they made sure to send some people representing their households.
While everyone talking some people entered gathering everyone's attention, they were None other than the first Prince Grabell Zafin Asura followed by Darius Silva Ganius, one of the supporters, seeing Prince Sauros and Philip quickly went and greeted them, especially the Prince as they were one of the supporters of the Prince. Though not a Major one since only after Suaros was killed and James took over to become Boreas Family Head did the Boreas Family become the Major supporter of the Prince.
Another notable figure was the princess Ariel Anemoi Asura, followed by Derrick and Luke, currently, she hasn't gained the support of the Notos Family. Her face had a pleasant smile hiding her shrewdness and sadistic personality while her eyes searched for a figure she came to meet and soon she found him, Arthur a new viscount who is soon going to be further promoted by King, something only known to higher Nobles.
With a smile on her face she walked towards Arthur, and then gave a small bow as a courtesy and said," Nice to meet you, Arthur, I am Ariel the third princess". Arthur looked at a 6-year-old girl who was far more mature than her age, her cute and beautiful smile hiding her true personality and he greeted her as well," Thanks for attending my banquet Princess".
Her smile widened as she looked at the Handsome man in front of her, Arthur's passive skill working further increasing his charm to a low-Divine level, which was quite useful on Princess who was a secret Masochistic and only a 6-year-old girl despite her matureness. ' Hehe, he is handsome as well ', she thought amused.
"Lord Arthur, I would like to talk with you privately on some topics", she said her face showing her everpresent smile, Arthur just gave her a small smile and replied," Sure". Soon a new voice reached their ears," Haha! My younger sister it seems you are here as well!", they turned to see the Prince with a smile on his face.
Ariel gave him a smile of her own and said," Indeed, Brother Eldest, though it seems Second Brother hasn't attended", Grabell just gave her a nod and said," The Second Bother is too much of a shrimp to attend such Grand Parties, though I must say even I am impressed by such a Grand Party, Arthur".
Arthur just gave him a small Bow and said," I organized this Part after Lady Hilda's suggestions and my wife's personal expertise", hearing that he raised a brow and then said," Your wife right? For whom you held such a Grand Party?". Arthur nodded and replied," Indeed, my wife whom I married a few years ago but had to part with since she was on a journey to gather wisdom to further progress her Magic".
Prince nodded and said," I am very eager to see the star of this party", Ariel too nodded and gave a cute smile to Arthur and said," Me too!", he talked for them for a few more minutes before leaving, and after getting in a room, a cold Aura leaked out of Arthur,' Minerva, research on some Torture techniques later on, I would like to give that Bastard a painful death ', he said in his mind.
Minerva gave him a positive reply while he started recalling Darius' identity, he is simply a lecherous Fat bastard one would find in any isekai, a person who would kidnap women and r*pe them regardless of their age, he had r*ped countless children as well, treat them as his s*x toy and then discard them.
To be honest with Arthur what others did, no matter how vile didn't matter to him, but once they crossed paths and tried to get their hands near his bottom line, basically his women and himself, he would make sure to give them a painful death and from what he knew this b*stard had treated the poor maid Lilia quite bad in past before discarding her.
One could only say that Darius was going to get a very painful death, and Minerva even suggested that they should let him get r*ped by orcs and horrible monsters to which Arthur agreed causing Darius to fill a chill on his back.
...
First Prince aka Grabell looked at the party with only a bit of excitement due to the many new dishes and decorations it had, he tasted a cake and ended up eating four cakes and then wiped his mouth with his handkerchief," I have never tasted the such delicious cake, in front of it Royal food tastes like bland ", he said to Darius who nodded and then started looking around ogling women.
He was also seeing which women he could kidnap next and then make them his s*x slave, Grabell just shook his head seeing Grabell's behavior and thought,' At least he should enjoy this delicious cake, let's taste this new cake ', he took another cake and started eating them.
In the other corner of the Hall, Princess Ariel and her two loyal followers were talking.
"Princess what do you think about Lord Arthur", said Derrick his caretaker, to which Ariel replied," He is very Handsome, Dashing, and his muscles also looked very refined, he is a perfect Husband candidate", Derrick's eyebrows twitched hearing his Sadistic Master's evaluation of Arthur and said," Princess I didn't mean that".
Ariel pouted and said," Derrick! Bad boy! Arguing with your princess it seems you need to be taught a lesson later on", a smirk appeared on her face, causing Derrick to become Pale as he remembered his previous beating, where Ariel whipped him and then made him bark like a dog and then lick her feet.
He quickly bowed and apologized," I am sorry for my earlier acts princess, please don't punish me!", Ariel snorted and said, "Very well Don't dare to argue with me anymore okay? Otherwise I will punish you lot", Derrick nodded his head quickly like a hen pecking rice, then he sighed seeing Ariel becoming calm and enjoying the cake.
"~So sweet!~", she said while eating the cake, Derrick looked at Luke to see him looking somewhere, and when he turned towards where he is looking he saw some Noblewomen talking, the main thing was that all of them had big boobs and jiggled in their clothes as they lightly moved. He sighed seeing the pervert Luke showing his pervert tendencies again.
*Smack*
Luke held his head in pain while turning towards who hit him, he found Ariel glaring at him and shuddered," Don't make a bad impression of me in front of Arthur okay?", Luke nodded furiously fearing her punishment, then suddenly they heard gasps.
Turning towards the stairs they saw Arthur walking down while his hands were held by a Platinum Bluish haired woman, the woman looked like she was a Goddess, her beauty unrivaled making all other Noblewomen who were very proud of their charm feel inferior, while men gawked at her beauty.
Arthur quickly said," Let me introduce to you all, my wife Minerva!", his loud voice quickly made many men feel jealous, except those who were secretly gay. Ariel held her palm on her mouth and then looked at Minerva jealous,' It seems my plan of seducing Arthur isn't going to work ', she thought.
Darius' cock became instantly hard as he gazed at Minerva, the dark desire to make her his sex slave came into his mind only to receive a pinch on his hand, looking back he saw Prince glaring at him and said," Darius anyone but her, don't you dare do anything stupid otherwise we will lose a powerful ally".
He gulped and nodded, forcing himself to calm down his urges, he sighed and drank a glass of beer while continuing to ogle other women. Prince smiled and said," Very well, let's meet her and Arthur, and make sure to keep your dick in your pants", Darius nodded as they headed towards them.
Ariel and her followers too headed towards them, Prince greeted them first," Lord Arthur, I must say your wife is as beautiful as Goddess a perfect match for a handsome man like you", he said. Ariel snorted lightly and said," Indeed I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you Lady Minerva", though her voice was sweet there was a hidden trace of jealousy.
Her eyes turned towards Arthur's handsome face as she giggled lightly,' So what if there is a competition? I am princess Ariel! I won't lose to some other women, and get the man I desire! ', she thought unknown to her Minerva had already seen her thoughts. Then they started talking with each other while Prince too requested a private meeting with Arthur to which he agreed.
While they were talking, a sudden shout from a woman disrupted them, in front of Ariel and Grabell Arthur vanished to their shock and they turned to see him holding the left hand of Darius which was just meters away from Maria, Darius angrily said," What is the meaning of this Arthur?!".
Arthur gave him a cold smile and asked," What a coincidence I want to ask you as well, what's the meaning of Darius?!", he snorted and replied," This maid of yours denied my order of spending a night with me!". Arthur quickly said," You should keep your hands away from other's things, and Maria is my personal maid".
Darius took a step back causing Arthur to release his hand, then he looked at him angrily and shouted," So what?!! She is just a mere maid! It's their duty to please us Nobles with their bodies and bark like a dog!! You would dare to stop me?! The Prime Minister of the Kingdom for a maid who is a beast woman?!!!".
Arthur gave him a cold look, he said," Darius you see, Maria is my concubine as well, and it is quite rude of you to even try to touch her with your filthy hands". His words made everyone gasp in shock while Darius felt greatly insulted.
He pointed towards Arthur and said with a smirk," Beg and Kneel before me now, otherwise I will strip off your status!", Arthur gave him a condescending smirk and said," Oh? You think you can go against King's Authority?", Darius wanted to reply but Grabell quickly held his arm and said," Idiot what are you doing? Apologize him!".
Darius' face became red, his body trembled in anger as he started laughing loudly then looking at Arthur he said," Apologies to him?! A mere Viscount?! I will make him pay for disobeying him! Hear that Arthur! I would take your wife and r*pe her in front of you while she moans under me-Ahh!!".
Darius' tongue suddenly separated from his mouth, he screamed in pain and then felt something wrapping around his whole body and then flew towards Minerva, and then his body stopped in front of her a few meters away, she gave him a cold look and said," What did you say?! You will r*ped me huh?! A filthy insect like you dares to go against my husband and ogle me?!!!".
Her cold voice made everyone feel a chill, and the temperature dropped a few degrees, Darius struggled to break from his grasp, suddenly a few people attacked Minerva, one of which was a Swordman who was even a sword king, and three were Sword Saint but Minerva just pointed her finger in the air and then a beam of lightning strikes all of their hearts killing them easily.
All their bodies fell on the floor while a big hole was in their chest and the smell of burned flesh filled the room, everyone became shocked seeing how easily these swordsmen were killed by Minerva and the most terrifying fact was Minerva didn't even chant a single world, it was legendary Voiceless chant and the Magic she used was also unknown Magic.
"AHHhhhhh!", Darius screamed as his legs bent in opposite directions and then twisted in different directions making them a bloody mess, Grabell shuddered to see this and quickly said to Arthur," Lady Minerva please forgive Darius!", he looked to see Minerva not listening to him. He quickly moved to Arthur and said," Lord Arthur, I apologize on behalf of Darius's behavior please forgive him!".
Arthur finally moved and said," Since First Prince is saying, I forgive him, Minerva!", Minerva nodded and threw Darius near Prince, his teeth and nose broke as he hit the floor. Grabell quickly grabbed his shoulders and tried to make him stand, but seeing his leg which was twisted in unnatural directions he despaired.
Arthur put his hand on Prince's shoulder startling him," Lo-Lord Arthur?", he said nervously and then saw a bright light appearing on Arthur's palm, the light covered Darius and soon his body was healed rapidly, by the end he was 90% healed. Then Arthur said," Now please kindly leave, my wife doesn't welcome you anymore".
Prince nodded furiously and then giving support to Darius they walked away, no one tried to help them for fear of angering Minerva or Arthur, after they left Arthur turned to only see his wife hugging him, she rubbed her head on his chest and said," Dear I have improved in my Magic right?", she looked at him cutely.
Such a scene greatly shocked everyone, the Minerva who previously looked like a Goddess of War turned into a wife wanting his husband's affection, the change was too great! Arthur nodded and patted her head," Indeed, it seems your trip wasn't a waste, anyway Minerva the stench of those corpses is disturbing our guests do something about them".
She nodded and snapped her finger while hugging him, she didn't say anything and even didn't turn toward the corpses, and under everyone's shocked eyes the corpses catches on fire the fire turned their body into ashes in a second, and the next moment their ashes flew out of the window as the wind blew.
Everyone knew it was Minerva who did, seeing her doing all this stuff which should be impossible in their eyes has made them shocked to their core, they already have listed Minerva as not provokable in their mind. A guy muttered," Is she a Magic Goddess?", his voice was low but everyone heard it. Then everyone started to think that might be the case as the posture Minerva was just like a Goddess.
Arthur's smile widened as he said," Sorry guys for the disturbance please continue with the party!", his voice broke everyone's stupor as all of the people quickly put a smile on their faces hiding their fear and shock and continued with the party while glancing at Minerva with fear, and admiration.
Ariel, Derrick, and Luke were shocked as well, Derrick who was a Magician trembled and said," Such Fine control over her Magic! Like she wasn't doing Magic but controlling the elements themselves! and she did all that without any chant! Princess, I think that Lady Minerva is at least an Emperor Ranked Magician to do all this! There is a possibility of even her being a God Ranked Magician!".
Astonishment was in his voice, Luke was also trembling, the scene of her effortlessly killing off that Swordsman who was way above his league like bugs made him fear, thinking how just before that he was ogling her, his face became pale as he tried his best to remain standing and not pee.
Ariel, on the other hand, her face had a smile on her Eldest Brother's foolish mistake,' Hehe, Eldest Brother you have made an enemy out of strong Foe, I even doubt if you have any chance of winning now, I can understand now why father was so respectful to Arthur back then and promoted him to a Noble ', she thought as her eyes moved on the figure of Arthur.
Her face blushed,' To make a terrifying woman like Minerva his wife! How strong he really is?! I think that even the fact of him being a King Swordsman is an understatement and he might be an Emperor Ranked Swordsman and King Ranked Magician at least! I need to make him my ally at any cost! ', she thought brewing her plans to get close to him.
Soon Arthur moved into a scheduled place with Maria and asked," Are you fine?", Maria nodded and Minerva snorted," Why didn't you rip off that bastard's hands the moment when he tried to order you?", she said, Maria flinched with tears in her eyes," I didn't want to create a problem for Master", she replied.
Arthur hugged her and consoled her," Don't worry, I am not angry with you okay? If something happens like that again then tell me, and if I am far away then don't care about the other person's identity and kill him or her, I will take care of backslash, you are my woman and no one dares to hurt you okay?", Maria nodded obediently while snuggling on his chest.
Arthur thought,' Minerva let's find Orge Island quickly and try searching about Soul Related curses, I want to give Darius a very painful death ', Minerva nodded and replied,' Okay Dear '.
