Chapter 7: Rewards And Confession

"You know, that really isn't necessary..." Akuma said to Fuze as they watch the king speaking in front of the people of the capital, explaining to them what happened.

"That's the king's wish. Not every day your capital got invaded by a horde of wyverns, only for it to be defeated by a matter of seconds, by a single man nonetheless" said Fuze

"It really isn't such a big deal. Just give me some coins and end it. There's no need to present me in front of the population of the capital..."

"That's the thing. It might not be a big deal for you, but it is a big deal for our kingdom. All of the other kingdoms have their own powerful army and people, but we never had such a thing. So when a person of your caliber, is a citizen of the capital, it gives the people hope, even if you're an adventurer. The only reason we have survived so far is that we sell information for other kingdoms. If it wasn't for it, we would've been destroyed long ago.

By doing what he does, the king gives the people hope and also shows the other kingdoms that we have our own powerhouse. That's also why the king won't "just" give you coins, he'll-" explained Fuze, but was interrupted by Akuma who said:

"Give me something that we'll be seen as a big reward, but will also tie me to this kingdom. As annoying as that is, politics is necessary to know when dealing with humans..."

"What do you mean?" asked a confused Fuze

"Don't mind it. It seems that I need to go" said Akuma as he heard the king invites him to come up to the stage

"I present you, the hero of Blumund, the Red Demon, the Wyvern Slayer, Akuma!" The king said as Akuma came up to the stage, and the crowd of people started to cheer loudly

"Yo. What's up?" Akuma said and waved at the crowd, causing them to cheer even louder

"Akuma-Dono. For saving the capital and this kingdom, I offer you my utmost gratitude. For your services, I hereby declare you as a noble of this kingdom, and you will be given a village to govern over. I will also fund the construction of a mansion in your selected village and will lend you workers to build it as you wish. Of course, I will also grant you 3,000,000 dwarven coins to do with as you wish.

I also declare, that from this day and on, today will be a holiday, celebrating the birth of Blumund's hero. A holiday that will start in today's evening, as we'll have a big feast every year on this day, using wyvern's meat as our main ingredient, to remember this day! A feast which all of the people is invited to, and we'll dine together, just as we all together were powerless in the face of the horde!" the king declared, and the crowd cheered loudly, and as the crowd cheered, the king said to Akuma quietly:

"We'll talk about the details tomorrow. Today, please enjoy the feast..."

~~~ Time Skip ~~~

"That was exhausting... and it'll be probably even worse in the evening..." Akuma said as he stepped into his room in the inn, and laid down on the bed. He finally managed to get away from the excited and curious crowd. After the king's speech, the people swarmed him, and for nearly three hours he had to deal with their antics

'I mean, I knew that the king will make a big deal of this when I planned, but he didn't have to present me to the people like that. Well, at least everything went according to plan...' Akuma thought, and then heard a knock on his door.

So with a sigh, stood up and went to open the door, expecting it to be some fan who stayed in the inn and saw him enter, but he was surprised to see that it was Eren and Lorelei, who both looked nervous and embarrassed.

"What are you two doing here?" Akuma asked

"We... well..." Eren said nervously

"Can we come in first?" asked Lorelei

"Sure. Make yourselves home" Akuma said and walked back in, the girls following him, as he sat on the bed, and the two were standing in front of him.

"Well?" asked Akuma, while thinking:

'I'm surprised. If it's what I think it is, I never expected them to confess together, and for it to happen so soon too...'

"First of all. I want to reveal something I kept hidden from you..." said Eren and then dispelled the illusion that masked her ears.

"I'm actually an elf, but not just any elf, but I'm a part of the Grimwald family, one of the 13 royal families of the Sorcerer's Dynasty Sarion. My name is even Eren, but it is Elyune H. Grimwald, or in short, Ellen. I'm sorry that I hid it from you. I just wanted to live like a normal adventurer..." Ellen said apologetically

"That's all?" said Akuma with an unimpressed expression

"What do you mean "That's all"? I hid my identity from, despite all the time we spent together!" Ellen said with a frown on her face

"I mean, let's start with the fact that I saw through your illusion since I met you. And even if I didn't, why would you apologize? You don't owe me anything. It's your identity. It's your right to decide who knows about it or not" Akuma said with a careless expression

"I told you he won't have a problem with that" Lorelei

"But, won't you treat me differently from now?" asked Ellen

"Why would I? Because you're some noble's daughter? I don't care about that. Everything is meaningless in the face of power, and luckily for me, I got a lot of that.

Now, can I ask what brought upon this confession? There's clearly a reason for you to confess about it now, and that is a reason that concerns both of you, or else, Lorelei wouldn't be here" Akuma said, and the two immediately blushed.

"That's... well..." Ellen said, too embarrassed to form a sentence

"We are both here to confess our love to you!" said Lorelei

"How can you just say it like that!?" Ellen exclaimed, blushing deeply in embarrassment

"Because I'm older than you, and not a blushing virgin..." Lorelei said with a smug smirk, her words causing Ellen to frown and pout at Lorelei

"I see. So both of you love me? I've got to say, I never got confessed to by two girls at the same time. So what brought upon this rather abrupt confession" Akuma asked

"We've both known about our feelings for you for quite some time, and also aware of the other's feelings for you as well, and there has been a silent agreement that the best may win, but after today, this will change. We talked after what happened, and we got to a conclusion. You clearly are a lot more powerful than what we thought you to be and after today, a lot of women will pursue you. So we decided that instead of fighting over you, we'll share you. Polygamy is a thing after all, but only the strong and influential have harems, and as strong as you are, I'm sure that you'll have one, and we want to be the first women in it" explained Lorelei

"So let me understand. Not only you're okay with sharing me between you two, but you're okay with sharing me with other women as well?"

"Of course I'm not okay with that, but I will rather be with you and share, than not be with you at all!" said Ellen passionately

"I see. Well, I certainly cherish both of you, but I'm sorry, but I can't say I love you. I'm not the guy who settles down and has a family"

"We already knew that..." said Ellen

"And we're fine with it. We only want at your side. As wives, as lovers, or even just be by your side as we've been until now" said Lorelei as she sat next to Akuma, and put his hand on her chest

"You can do whatever you wish with me. Even if you try to hide, women always know when you look at them, and you've been eyeing my breast since we first met..." said Lorelei and gained a seductive expression on her face

"Hey! That's not fair!" exclaimed Ellen and sat at Akuma's other side and put his other hand on her chest as well

"You two are serious, huh?"

"Very much!" said both simultaneously

Akuma chuckled and wrapped his arms around the two, making them lean against his shoulders.

"For now, let's rest. I have a headache from all the non-stop questions and gratitudes from the people..." Akuma said as he laid down on the bed, and cradled the girls, their heads on his outstretched arms, their bodies glued to his, as they all fell asleep...
