Capítulo 35: This isn't a fucking manga
[Later]
The servants formed a row before the entrance with Darkness and her dad right in the middle. Aqua and Alex were standing on either side of Darkness, and there was only her father with her, there was not a single trace of the mother… But it isn't important right now.
Father: But… To think that you would agree to this matchmaking. I'm really happy… When Alexei said he had something to discuss with me, I was worried about it. He was confident you would not reject too. Leaving Alexei aside, his son is a good man. You'll have a wonderful life with him, Lalatina.
Darkness: How mean, dear father. Lalatina only said she would seriously consider the marriage, fufufu… After thinking it through, I think it's still too early for me to marry, but it's too late now.
I agreed to the matchmaking session, but I didn't say I wanted to marry! I'll mess up this meeting! I'll destroy the matchmaking meeting! Hmm… Hahaha!
Her father turned pale as he realized her true intent, and looked at Aqua and Alex.
Father: Could… Could it be the reason the two of them are here is to…?
However, Alex just walked towards Darkness and delivered a hand chop on her head, making her stop her laugh and surprising her father.
Alex: ...My lady, your choice of words is too crude, please don't speak in such a way.
Darkness and her father looked at him in surprise, while Aqua ignored the tense atmosphere while swaying her skirt around happily.
Darkness' expression turned sour once she understood Alex's true intent, while her father blinked away tears of joy, looking at him as if he was the messiah.
Darkness: Alex, you… You…! What is this, are you planning to betray me?
Alex: There's no betrayal to speak of, my lady. Right now, I'm Dustiness' butler, and I am still officially your party leader, my greatest wish is to ensure your and everyone else in the party's safety, I decided that this will be the best method to avoid yourself getting killed somewhere…
Father: You… You're Alexander, right? Even if this session fails… At least, don't let Lalatina do anything disgraceful before the other party! I'll reward you well! So… So…!
Alex: Old master, please don't worry about the reward, I already have everything you could possibly give me, and you are unable to grant me a personal wish, because it is outside of everyone's capabilities.
I told you already, I may give up on adventures, but for the entire week I will remain as the party leader. Sacrificing, and not caring about my companions is impossible for me.
At this moment, the door of the mansion opened with a crack, and the man that Alex saw on the photo appeared at the door with an entourage with him.
Darkness was bent on making the first move, crossing her arms and glaring at the other party as she said loudly.
Darkness: You're the brat who's meeting with me, right? I'm Dustiness ford Lalatina! You can call me Que-*POW*
Alex delivered a strong blow on the back of Darkness' head.
Alex: Sorry my lady, I found a nasty bug on the back of your head.
After Alex interrupted Darkness from making a scene, she excused herself and dragged Alex away, to "Check if the bug stung her", and moved to the room next door.
Meanwhile, Aqua, who didn't understand jack shit, was following happily beside Darkness.
Alex: Calm down woman, you even forgot about something important.
Darkness: ...What's the important thing?
Alex: You forgot to not tarnish your family's reputation. If you make a great mess, you'll be the one who'll be hurt the most.
Darkness: How would I be hurt? If the negative news spread, I won't be able to marry and can continue my adventuring career without worries! The worst case would be my father disowning me, but I'm already prepared for that…
After being disowned, I'll feel uneasy about my uncertain future… Despite that, I'll still do my best to survive and take on jobs too hard for me. In the end, my body won't be able to take it and I'll get captured by the minions of the Demon King's army, and be ravaged…! …I want to live a life like that.
And that guy's not my type. The guys my father wants to set me up with are all bad.
When she said that, Alex, who almost gave her a piece of his own mind, stopped and looked confused.
Alex: Is that guy as bad as you say? According to your father's description, he sounds like an okay guy. But I only know what he looks like though.
Darkness: That guy's Alexei Barnes Walther. He's talented and looks nothing like the landlord. The citizens give rave reviews about him, he's a cheerful man.
Aqua: Speaking of Walther from the Alexei family, everyone in the town of Axel has nothing but praise for him. He distributes items to help the poor. I've even received it a few times too.
Darkness: That's not good! My father doing that is enough! How can a noble who wants to marry me do such a thing?
Alex: ...Oh! Could it be that he is hiding a bad side?
Darkness: There's no such thing! First, I heard that guy has excellent character. He won't get angry with anyone, and won't lecture his staff when they make mistakes. He's a weird person who would think together with them as to why such mistakes occur…
And he's very hardworking, studying every day to help the people with his knowledge. He's smart and great in swordsmanship, the youngest knight ever in history.
I've never heard anything negative about him, a truly perfect man. He also advises his father often, pleading him to change his harsh policies.
…
Alex: Uhhhh…
Aqua: Hey, from what I'm hearing, isn't he the perfect man? Which part are you unhappy about, Darkness?
Darkness: Which part am I unhappy about? Everything! First, nobles should act like nobles and always wear a sinister smile! Why does he have such clear and forthcoming eyes when we met? It should be more like…
Like Alex's gaze when I walk around with loose clothes in the mansion. Eyes that want to rape every inch of my body!
Alex: ...Truly a shame that your behavior ruined my first boner about you though…
Darkness: He doesn't get mad when his staff screws up? Is he an idiot?! If a maid makes a mistake, then he should do this and that to her using that excuse, that's the proper way for a noble!
That man doesn't know anything! His staff makes mistakes because they want to be scolded! As a noble, he should have the guts to make all of the maids pregnant!
Alex: You dumb fuck, no one is like you in this WORLD!
Darkness: Simply put, the type I like is the total opposite of that man who'll achieve great things, even if I leave him alone! He must not be too eye catching, either too fat or too skinny.
It would be best if he loves me but has a weak will, lusting after other girls if they're a bit kind to him. Some mandatory criteria will be having a lecherous look and is horny all year round. If he looks down on the hardships of life and just wants to live his life easily like trash, that would be great.
If he has debts, that's even better! He also must drink all day and refuse to work, always grumbling that "This is the fault of society". He'll then hit me with empty beer bottles and tell me: "Hey Darkness, use your slutty body to earn back some cash!"… Hmm…!
Alex: Oh god…
Darkness: ...Enough! I'll destroy this meeting myself! Alex, be prepared for the consequences if you get in my way!
After saying that, she walked out of the room angrily.
Aqua: ...Alex, what are you planning?
Alex: Obviously I'll make sure this marriage will happen, with or without her consent, you saw her father's face, right?
Aqua: What then? Even if it was Darkness' father, he has no right to decide her life…
Alex: Darkness is a noble. Isn't it normal for her not to be able to decide her own marriage? For aristocrats, they live a life of luxury and receive elite education… Though we can't really tell from Darkness's behavior.
Since they depend on the taxes of the commoners for a living, it's normal for their life to have less freedom. Living a luxurious life from birth and wanting the freedom to decide their own life, that's just being willful…
She already had it good living such a carefree life all this while. And the one she's marrying is a perfect man. If you still want to be picky about it, it'll incur the wrath of the people.
Aqua: ...But! That's still too much!
Alex: That's not all.
Aqua stopped when he said that.
Aqua: ...Eh?
Alex: Aqua. Our… No, YOUR objective is to defeat the Demon King and return home, but what are Darkness' wishes?
Aqua: Well, um… To not marry and continue adventuring with us…
Alex: That's pure bullshit, and both of us know it. Say it loud!
Aqua: To… To be kidnapped by a strong monster she couldn't win against and let the enemy do erotic things to her…
Alex: Now you are speaking at the same level with me… Right now, I don't care much about marriage, as much as I want to stab her for every time she annoyed me, I don't want her dead.
We aren't in a fucking manga, we are in the real life, once you are defeated, there is no porn or abuse, there is only death. Even if she marries the man of her dreams, I will let it go, she will still be alive. But I won't watch her die because I ignored her safety. I'll turn back…
Then Alex went out from the room, soon followed from Aqua.
