FitzClarence Family

The sun had set and night had fallen over the FitzClarence estate. The ti had co.

I was taken to the dining room by Ester-chan in order to eat dinner with her father. It seems to be common practice for this family to eat together when everyone is ho.

There were three other people seated at the table other than myself: Ester-chan, her father, and the muscular grandpa. Her mother was out at the mont and we were starting without her.

This room was just as beautiful as every other room in the house. Edita Senseis ho could easily fit inside the dining room. The entire setting made think of a luxury restaurant where a single item on the nu would cost over 10,000 yen.

The table and chairs were polished beautifully and the golden chandeliers were opulently decorated with gems.

Lets have a toast to the new Baron. Cheers!

Cheers.

As Ester-chans father raised his glass, so did everyone else.

There were several maids standing around the room, ready to offer us any assistance if we need it. It was hard for to know where to look considering every last one of them was a beautiful girl in her teens.

One criticism I do have is that their skirts could be shorter.

Feel free to enjoy yourself tonight, Baron Tanaka.

Im undeserving of such kindness, Duke FitzClarence.

I apologize if disguising my identity offended you in anyway. Id like for this dinner to be an opportunity for us to start fresh. In this room, were all equals.

Thats a lie. An absolute lie.

He forced Sophie-chans dad to grovel beneath him.

I understand that it is an important ability for an aristocrat to be able to change their persona depending on who theyre speaking with. Im sorry, but I dont believe I possess that ability.

His words reminded of a drunken boss at an after work party telling his employees to treat him like one of the gang. So less experienced employees might take him up on that offer, but the veterans wont be fooled. The boss might not rember much of the night the next day, but anything said to offend him or that he can use against you will remain fresh in his mind.

You must never forget the difference in status between anyone and everyone you speak to, so is the mantra of the wage slave.

Well, if that is the case, feel free to use this dinner as practice.

Thank you. Ill try my best.

I might as well agree to it so we can move along.

You possess the magical ability to build an entire city in less than a day and gathered people to your cause in order to help you et the admittedly difficult targets His Majesty set out for you. I believe that theres a lot I can learn from you.

You give too much credit, Duke FitzClarence. Most of my success is down to sheer luck and coincidence.

Humility will do you no good in this world, Baron Tanaka.

Its not humility. Even if it were, its an undeniable truth that I wouldnt have been able to do any of it without the investnt received from you, Duke FitzClarence.

So youre saying I deserve all the praise for your success?

Its here already. His first attack.

I can give him an honest answer.

Of course, I also owe thanks to Elizabeth-sama for helping out and showing patience. She also convinced Doris of Ahan from the Pussy Republic to aid , and the mbers of the Twilight Company led by the eldest son of the Aufschnaiter family.

.

I also received help from the Vice-Captain of the magic Knights, Cyan Bitch-sama, and Lord Fahren granted access to the Academy were I was able to further my knowledge and deepen these relationships.

Lord Fahren did that for you?

I believe he may have had his own motives, but I benefited as a result.

I see.

Ester-chans father perked up when I ntioned the noble mages na. Even though Sophie-chan called this man a monster, he still pays respects to that magic lunatic.

Now that I think about it, I havent seen the noble mage since he left Dragon City. Did he make it safely back to Kalis? Its possible he did sothing to annoy the loligon on the way back.

T-Thats not true, Papa!

What do you an, Liz?

Im not responsible for getting Doris to help!

Why did the lolibitch have to speak up now?

What is she going to say? Its just making more anxious.

He fought against the Pussy Republic in the previous conflict and that is where he beca acquainted with Doris! Hes also the reason Doris remained obedient while she was in Tricklis. He is owed all of the credit for ending the conflict and for obtaining aid from a mber of the Pussy Republic.

The lolibitch spoke confidently.

To be more precise, Christina being far more powerful than the long-haired man is the reason why Drill-chan has remained docile. If she wasnt around, that drill haired virgin wouldve attacked Tricklis already.

However, her words seed to have an impact on her father.

So thats what happened.

I think shes just being kind.

You should be more proud of your accomplishnts, Baron Tanaka.

Thank you, Duke FitzClarence.

It turns out that letting Ester-chan speak was a good idea.

Maybe shell be the key to getting out of here safely.

As I said this silent prayer in my mind, I was suddenly hit with another verbal attack from the side.

I will not allow this to continue any longer! It must stop! Even if my son will allow my precious granddaughter to be manipulated by you, I will not allow it any longer!

The muscular grandpa spoke up for the first ti.

I will remain silent on matters concerning the house, but not when it cos to my cute grandchild!

Liz is my daughter before she is your granddaughter.

.

Esthers father was the one to interrupt him.

The muscular grandpa couldnt say anything against him. He was struck down so quickly even though he was fired up monts ago. It was a little sad, honestly. Its not an exaggeration to say that his son possesses all of the power in this house.

However, I think that the family has only reached the heights it has because of him. His son may have increased their wealth and power but it all started with the muscular grandpa.

Still, my father raises a fair point.

Esters fathers eyes moved from the muscular grandpa to .

His eyes turned into straight lines.

Hes becoming serious.

How exactly would you describe your relationship with my daughter, Baron Tanaka?

How I would describe it?

What am I supposed to say?

I took a mont to consider my answer as I slowly took a sip from my glass. Sophie-chan said that all of the rumours about Ester-chans father spoiling her are true. It makes seriously worried about my answer. If I were Ester-chans father and the man that broke her hyn confronted , I dont think Id be able to stop myself from beating him to a pulp.

I understand why her father is curious to know.

As I was still trying to carefully choose my words, the door to the dining room opened.

The sound pulled everyones attention away from .

Im back, darling.

A beautiful woman erged from the hallway.

She was soone I had t previously. I cant rember her na, but I do rember seeing her with Esters father when he first introduced himself as Hegel. Once she spotted Richard, a cheerful smile spread across her face as she greeted him.

As her words suggest, she must be Esters mother.

At least, thats my assumption.

But

Eh? E-Esterand Tanaka-san?

It took a mont to realize that Allen was standing next to her, but the real shock ca when I noticed his arm around her waist. They clearly arent strangers to each other and the image reminded of a couple exiting a love hotel.

The look in their eyes and their body language told the story of how close they were. If Mama-sans arm was also around Allen, he may have been killed on the spot. Even so, this situation is bad.

It looks like the iken has been thinking with his lower body again.

Of course, the mont Allen noticed everyone in the room, his expression changed to utter confusion.

Im sorry about this, Allen-san.

A small smile floated across Mama-sans face before she slipped out of Allens arms and moved to Richards side.

Here eyes werent smiling.

Umm, w-what is going on?

Allen was beginning to tremble.

We wished to speak with you with everyone present. Father, motherand daughter.

.

What have you done, Allen?

Ester-chan said that she saw the iken leave with a group of noblewon at the party. One of them must have been this woman, but I would think that Allen would recognize Ester-chans mother.

Liz, who is this boy?

Richards emotionless words sent a chill down my spine.

Allen only just arrived and hes already stepped on a landmine.

.

Ara, darling, theres no need to make such a scary face. Hes been such a great escort today. With him constantly telling how beautiful I am and his other attempts at flattery, Ill be able to remain happy for years.

I see. What a nice young man. Is that how you beco so close to Earl Bitch?

Uh.

Allen probably assud that Richard knew nothing of his relationship with Earl Bitch. This nice young man was getting paler by the second and he was at a complete loss for words. The situation was bad at first but its quickly beco even worse than I anticipated.

Ester-chans mom must have approached Allen knowing who he is with the intention to lead him on. Allen was so excited by the prospect of her high-class pussy, that he failed to realize she was leading him straight to the execution block.

Ester-chans parents are terrifying.

The muscular grandpa is nothing more than a figurehead.

He hasnt even said anything yet.

Your na is Allen-kun, correct? Please, take a seat, Ive had a place set for you as well.

I-I think Id be intruding.

In response to Richards invitation, Ester-chans secret lover number two attempted to quietly excuse himself.

I told you to take your seat. Or did you not hear ?

.

Allen fell silent as he moved next to and took his seat. So thats why there was an empty seat next to . Ester-chan was seated at the head of the table while Richard and the muscular grandpa sat opposite of Allen and .

Incidentally, this ant that Ester-chans two secret lovers were both sat on the sa side with every other mber of the FitzClarence family facing us.

I think Im starting to understand Sophie-chans story a little better.

Ester-chans parents are going to strike before either of us have a chance to prepare ourselves.

In stark contrast to the graceful smile hes showing us, Richard has a serious violent side he has yet to show. After Allen and Mama-san took a seat, the al continued with both Allen and I chanically eating the food served to us. I just did my best to match the pace at which the mbers of the FitzClarence family ate their food.

I dont even rember what any of it tasted like.

Umm, P-Papa.

Ester-chan attempted to offer us a lifeline.

As things stand, Allen is likely to be dead by the morning. That much is only natural considering he tried to sleep with the wife of the countrys most powerful nobleman. In Japan, an affair at that level could easily lead to him paying millions in consolation money.

But, in this instance, Allen appears to have been invited by Mama-san.

Almost any man would easily fall for Mama-sans charms if she threw herself at them. I would even be okay with having a threeso with her and Allen if it ant I got to sleep with her. The lewdness factor would increase by at least ten tis considering shes Ester-chans mother. A nice aged beef sandwich.

Theres just one thing I havent been able to confirm.

Richard completely ignored his daughter and continued focusing on Allen and .

He set down his silverware and looked straight at us. There was a smile on his face, but I know from what Sophie-chan told that I cant trust it.

Theres no denying my daughter has changed for the worse and theres only one reason I can think of as the cause for this. I just need to know which one of you two taught Liz these unnecessary things.

A fast ball down the centre of the plate.

.

I could feel Allens shoulder trembling next to .

This is bad.

This is just as bad as making an enemy out of Christina.

Ill only ask this once more: tell which one of you, Tanaka-san or Allen-kun, taught my daughter these frivolous things? I would like to continue our al, but we cant continue until this matter has been settled.

.

What should I do?

If what Sophie-chan told was true, once he learns the answer, his next action will be to attack with magic.

And Im guessing Allen doesnt know this.

Knowing him, hell want to make his relationship with Ester official

E-Ester and I.

This iken is too honest.

Theres only one thing I can think of doing to stop him.

If I dont do it, I only see one way of this ending for Allen.

He started his life as a yarichin in the capital and his life as a yarichin will end here as well.

Richard-san, I was the one that took your daughters virginity.[Tanaka]

I slowly stood from my chair while simultaneously activating my recovery magic.

This is the sa type I used to protect myself against Christinas punches. Based on the last few tis Ive used this, no matter how powerful his attack, I should be able to survive.

is this true, Tanaka-san?

Yes.

Thats strange. My research suggested different.

I have no choice but to do this if I want Allen to leave here alive.

Allen removed all other options the mont he entered the room and stepped on the landmine.

I find younger girls attractive. Despite Ester-sans age, she still doesnt grow any hair down there. Its truly fascinating. I wasnt able to suppress my desire toward her and corrupted her into becoming my plaything

I spoke as if I were intimately familiar with her hairless pussy even though I only saw it once in the bath.

At the sa ti, attack magic was sent flying at .

Ah.

I could hear a few sharp gasps from soone in the dining room after this exchange.

I fierce pain struck my body and the force of his attack knocked back several feet, but I remained standing. There was a sharp pain emanating from my neck, but this only lasted a few seconds before my recovery magic kicked in. Richard remained seated at the table with only his hand raised slightly toward .

His eyes that were normally closed were now slightly opened.

Hes the type of iken where his eyes open a little when hes starting to lose his temper.

His good looks annoy .

The scenery in the dining room changed drastically. The tablecloth and all of the tableware was now dyed red with my blood. I recalled a similar scene when the Dark Elf decapitated . What a waste.

P-Papaaaaa!

Ester-chans scream filled the room as she aid an attack at her father.

Ha!?

That was the first ti I ever heard a hint of surprise in his voice.

He must have never expected his daughter to attack him.

I was as surprised as him.

A swirling mass of flas around one tre in diater erupted from Ester-chans hand directly at her father. Fireball. The point-blank attack erupted on its target and exploded in a blinding flash of light.

I could feel myself getting weaker and decided to check my status while taking cover.

All right, I still have plenty of MP remaining.

My MP took a big hit, but it should be the sa for Richard. He wont be able to follow up with another attack of that magnitude which will give plenty of ti to recover. Unfortunately, Im not sure if Ill be able to attack without destroying this entire mansion and killing everyone in it. It might be possible if I hold back and activate a healing circle around the table at the sa ti.

Will it work though?

Despite my terrible LUC stat, I decided to hope for the best and activated the circle at the sa ti I shot a fireball toward Richard.

Another wave of pain enveloped my body.
