The Young Master in the Shadows

The carriage slowly made its way through the mountain, finally approaching a giant crystal palace that was in the very center of the huge storm that surrounded the entire city.

As soon as the Carriage stopped, Victor stepped down, sighing, and looked up at the amazing palace with its high crystal walls and spiraling glass-like towers. It had a strange gothic-like Architecture but with a hint of elvish influence.

“What? Impressed?” Lyra jumped down from her seat and said. She was trying hard to forget the thoughts that she had earlier about what had happened with Nega.

“Yeah… It is just that my life is going a lot into the fantasy genre lately… Fantasy porn to be exact….” he said shaking his head. Hopefully, he would manage to pull this scam perfectly and return safely to his world.

“Eh…” Lyra didn’t understand what he meant.

“HEY! YOU ARE THAT GUY?” someone suddenly exclaimed, making him look back and notice a youthful pretty energetic girl walking from the side in a knight's suit.

“Do I know you?” he asked with a frown.

“No, but I saw you in the competition the other day, I thought you died because you were not in the award ceremony!” she said as she inspected him and his flashy golden Tiger suit. “You are that guy who oiled the suit of armor, Right?!” she said.

Victor frowned, he finally remembered when he saw her. She seemed to have been the star of that competition or something. He noticed her checking him out when he was oiling that armor but never met her inside because he was guided into the bad boys' pathway at some point while she had probably been led into a safer path.

She was not bad at all, but not amazing. The class was Wind Knight and the Level was 40. Above the standard for a freshly appointed knight. The only strange thing was that she didn’t have a predefined fate.

Strange…. “Oh… Yes… Hi…” he said after some thoughts, flashing a smile similar to those he had seen Tom use. He might need to keep an eye on this one.

“Pin Pin, what are you doing here?” Lyra yelled violently for some reason startling the poor girl who was about to fall for her pervert brother-in-law,

“AH! IT'S YOU Lady Lyra… I am sorry, I didn't recognize you!” Pinpin quickly bowed down, she overlooked Lyra before because she was not wearing her Armor but was wearing a simple sundress with her hair down. Apparently, today was her vacation. “I am here with my master, he told me to wait outside…” she clarified nervously.

“Your master?” Lyra asked, Pin pin was one of the best knights she trained, After completing the ceremony she should have been chosen by one of the top brass to be his or her disciple. Still, Lyra, who had to leave for an emergency mission, didn't know who took her in.

“Yes, Duke Stormbringer!” she nodded. “We were just returning from the Wind Cave and he was going to introduce me to Prince Lizor, but for some reason, he got a letter then hurried here and I had been waiting for 7 hours!” she said quickly in a respectful voice. This girl was clearly the talkative type.

Hearing her, Victor froze. She was meant to meet Lizor… Wait… She was cute enough to make any guy other than Victor, who was immune thanks to Lily, want to court her, and from the way she talked and seemed impressed by his tiger suit, she was clearly a lower-cast commoner. Adding those two facts together the result can be easily figured out.

A Disaster! Victor could tell from his brief meeting with Lizor, that the guy was a snake. Then…

Could it be that by framing Lizor as a demon, he might have changed her fate?

Victor squinted his eyes. But why didn't fate change to Death by demons like the others? How did this work? Remembering everyone he knew, he couldn’t really tell… Those close to him seemed to have had their fate obscured due to his class, and this was the first time he really observed someone whom his actions might have affected but was not close enough to him. ꭆ

Looking at her, he felt that he was about to understand something there…

“Hay… Why are you spacing out, quick follow me!” Lyra, who felt something was wrong watching Victor keeping his eyes on Pin Pin, yelled, grabbing him and then dragging him inside. No idea why she was angry… He was her perverted brother-in-law after all… YES… She didn’t want him to betray her sister after all. YES… THIS IS DEFINITELY IT! “You are already a married guy damn it!” she whispered angrily remembering what happened with Nega. DAMN PERVERT!

“And? A man can marry more than one wife….”

“SHUT UP… “ she interrupted him. “TRY NOT TO GET KILLED INSIDE!” she said as she guided him through the palace's heavily guarded gate. Those guards didn’t dare to stop her.

As soon as he stepped inside he felt it.

He pressed <No> but quickly disguised his status to match its effect as his mind raced. That Sex is forbidden effect was really thoughtful, he had heard so many scandals in the Von Crone Palace back then that he knew that it was the right thing to do. The question he had was whether it would stop ‘it’ from going in, or would it stop the ‘job’ from being completed… He was tempted to try it with Aerith for ‘scientific reasons’… Nah… Too risky! But on the other hand, it might make it more interesting… But… He promised himself to be careful… But yet again… Aerith might like the thrill…

“You noticed it right? How you became weak!” Lyra said with a smirk interrupting his perverted thoughts. “This is the lord’s power!” she said proudly.

“Ah… Yeah…” Victor said as he squinted his eyes and looked at the notification. There was an Edict Shard here! Could it be like the ones he got? He remembered something about them being special to each world before.

“..” Lyra nodded proudly then slowly guided Victor past the knights and the maids throughout the palace, she seemed to know this place well.

Finally, after 10 minutes of climbing different crystal stairs, they reached a grand mirror-like blue polished door guarded by two fully armored giants who held a long sword each, resting its tip on the ground underneath them. If not for the slight movement in their chests as they breathed, Vicgor would have thought they were statues... Not really, he could appraise them after all!

Wait, get raped? That Zifr guy has some interesting fetishes… Those two giants… No, Giantesses were each 25 feet tall! Could it be that little Zifr was so big no one could take it? How big did he have to be? What a disturbing thought!

“I brought Victor von Weise as requested for the audience!” Lyra said as she reported in a solemn voice, bowing slightly with her hand on her chest in a knight's salute.

“He may enter… you will wait!” one of the two guards said as she pushed the giant door slightly ajar to reveal a strange bluish mist that seemed to hide everything inside.

Lyra nodded. “Be careful…” she squeezed her little fist and whispered as she watched Victor walk in.

“Sure!” he said as he walked past the door and diapered into the shimmering blue mist before the door was closed again.

…

“This is a glorious day for all of us, for today, I will unveil my 5th, five-year plan that will change the course of history, I will….” the president said addressing the army of soldiers and dignitaries standing beneath the stage. In addition to the cameras that surrounded the stage.

“Are you sure this will work?” Mona asked nervously as she looked at Alpha, not paying any attention to the stupid speech that she watched Alpha write the previous day with the twins' help. “No one will be hurt?” They were hiding in a press van to the side of the large square.

“For the 10th fucking time… DON’T WORRY!” Alpha said angrily. “Pay attention to the camera, Lily began moving!” she told the girl to her side, making Mona look to the side in a hurry.

There on the far side of the square, a man was running while dressed in drags. Lily, who was wearing a veil, was running after him with a sword after jumping out of a window from a nearby hotel.

“Make sure to capture it!” Alpha said. "Focus on the guy's face!"

“Roger that!” the slutty girl operating the camera said as she professionally pointed the camera at the young man who was screaming for help!

“STOP!” some soldiers yelled as they noticed Lily.

“HEY!”

“STOP OR WE WILL OPEN FIRE!” one shouted as a group of guards surrounded them.

Then…

“BE READY!” Alpha said as she pressed a button!

BANG!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

All of a sudden, the stage under the president exploded turning the guy into minced meat.

Everyone was sent to the ground then…

SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!

A large crimson vortex exploded from under the explosion wooing the entire square.

Then it shrank back, leaving the square intact but empty as all the people there have disappeared, except for a certain miserable girl that is.

“WHAT? I EVEN FUCKIGN OPENED THE GATE MYSELF!” Alpha couldn’t help but yell before finally noticing the notification above her head.

“Eh…. Lords?” Alpha was flabbergasted.
