198. Grandmaster (2)
“Ha….”
Rosanna let out a shallow moan as if she was tired.
And then, he stood up gracefully.
“There was a fox watching.”
The first woman of the empire muttered to herself.
And, the moment she turns her head towards me.
Glacier-blue eyes sparkled.
“… !”
The moment I met those eyes.
Rosanna’s appearance disappeared like a shadow.
Soon, her beautiful hands caressed my shoulder.
“That’s strange. “I didn’t seem like the type to gloomily spy on someone.”
“….”
The scent of soap and berries wafted from the back of my neck.
Afterwards, the brilliant golden hair tickled her shoulders.
“What brings you to our waiting room, Baron Vale?”
I exhaled briefly.
And then, he withdrew her touch and confidently made eye contact.
“I saw it in the match with Batshu. “He was secretly strengthening the Black Knights’ weapons.”
She pointed with her finger at her man who had received physical enhancement just moments ago.
He was looking at me with an expressionless expression.
“You stay out. “It’s a match soon.”
“I understand.”
The Black Knight ignored me and went out to the stadium.
In the next match, it’s time to face Allen.
If such body and weapon reinforcements were given to the already strong Black Knight….
There is no guarantee that Allen will win.
“You look nervous, you must be anxious?”
Rosanna stood in front of her, with her back to her.
Her sensual body filled my eyes.
“Under imperial law, it is impossible to strengthen one’s body privately before a competition.”
I opened my mouth with serious eyes.
“The chivalry that fought Bashu a little while ago. Even the drivers who go out now are breaking the law.”
“….”
Rosanna didn’t really react after hearing what I said.
She just tilts her head and smiles.
“That’s right. However, the private reinforcement law also says this.”
She waved her finger into the air.
As if writing with a pen.
「It is prohibited to use ‘mana’ to perform strengthening procedures on others.」
Rosanna snapped her fingers, and her word Mana sparkled in blue.
As if to emphasize.
“I’m sorry, but the procedures I used are all my own ‘miracles.’ “It’s not mana, nor is it a magic trick that’s considered evil.”
When the elegant Empress said ‘Mana’, she touched my left cheek.
Afterwards, when I said ‘magic’, he also poked my right cheek.
“So, there is no legal problem.”
Haughty and seductive eyes like Leia.
I was completely shocked by this.
“Is it okay for the empress of a country to say that?”
When I argued, she raised the corners of her mouth.
And then, like an older sister comforting a child, she patted the top of her head.
Just like I did for Lydia.
“It is said that the example of those in power is to make the most of the abilities one has.”
Rosanna said that and moved behind me again.
After that, she held my shoulders with both hands and whispered.
“In that sense, you may certainly be far from power.”
I felt her voluptuous skin against my back.
The feel was like being laid down on a very soft bed.
“The same power that Leonhard has. “You didn’t steal the throne with that great power, right?”
Rosanna, who had a Grand Auror inside her.
So I was well aware of the potential power I had.
“Maybe… “Is it because of my daughter?”
Rosanna knocked on the left side of my heart with her finger.
Every time that happened, the power in my heart stirred,
“Well, Leah is a great kid. “It’s a shame she’s only satisfied with that level.”
Rosanna stands up for Leah, who resembles her in everything.
However, it seemed disappointing that the ambition of the man with the Grand Auror only went so far.
“Well, okay.”
As if responding to this, I raised the corners of my mouth.
And. He grabbed the empress’ finger and stopped her.
“There will be no need for Her Majesty the Empress to feel regretful.”
Afterwards, I looked back at Rosanna.
Then I got closer to her dragonan, who was resting her chin on my shoulder.
“I’m more greedy than you can see.”
As if responding to Rosanna, I also smiled brightly.

“I will also get everything I want.”
Eyes that become thin like a fox.
And, black eyes that sparkle even in dark lighting.
Rosanna silently looked into my eyes.
Then, he half-closed his eyes, saying he understood what I meant.
“Are you hoping for something worthy of the empire?”
Rosanna scanned my body with a mysterious look.
Then, suddenly, Irina’s treasured sword strapped to her waist caught her eye.
“This…” .”
She noticed the treasured sword of her second wife, Istina.
In addition, her third wife, Vanessa’s family ring, was worn on her finger.
“Ah….”
Rosanna’s lips parted as if she had realized something.
“Yes, she wasn’t just a lazy fox after all.”
The empress released me.
Then, she stepped back for a moment and looked at my face.
“I see you’re going to walk the same path as Leonhard.”
Rosanna first pointed to the ring Lydia gave her.
“She entered into a marriage alliance with Vanessa, the princess of the Kingdom of Samad, her eastern leader.”
Next, she pointed to Irina’s treasured sword.
“He even married Istina, the representative of the people who were angry over the long war.”
Finally, Rosanna placed her hand on her own heart.
“Ultimately, I plan to protect Leonhard’s empire by working with my daughter, Leah.”
The empress sensed my true intentions.
She embraced the princesses and applauded as if she knew she was trying to protect the safety of the empire.
“I have the same thoughts as Leonhard. He uses women as expendables to protect his precious country.”
However, the applause soon stopped.
After that, she gave a cold look like a witch.
“It’s really the same.”
I stared at her bloody expression.
Then, she quickly responded with cold eyes.
“I’m sorry, Your Highness, but you are mistaken.”
I slowly approached the empress.
And, I answered calmly.
“I have never thought of the princesses that way.”
I remembered my memories with them.
At first, I thought they were just young women drunk on authority.
However, the princesses were different.
Everyone did their best in their position and tried to protect the people.
Furthermore, he didn’t even try to use his authority over me.
I wanted to meet as equals as a woman and her man.
‘Of course, there were times when I played practical jokes….’
Suddenly he introduces me to his maternal family.
Buying all the watermelon seedlings.
Even though she chased me wearing a nun’s uniform.
He acted cautiously out of consideration for me.
“And they didn’t think of me as just a toy either.”
‘You think I just see them as a means to an end?’
I approached the arrogant empress who knew nothing about our relationship.
Afterwards, she warned with her fierce eyes.
“If you continue to sway our relationship with such speculations, I will scold you.”
Rosanna paused for a moment when she saw my face.
“….”
Apparently, a little while ago, she thought she had sufficiently scared him with her hex.
When my huge shadow appeared before my eyes, I composed my expression.
“Oh my…. “It’s been a long time since I felt like this.”
Rosanna laughed at my shadow that swallowed her.
Afterwards, she smiled leisurely again.
“Are you sure your love is sincere?”
The empress of the empire said she knew my true intentions and she nodded her head obediently.
However, soon the gaze changed from that of the empress to that of the great witch and she snapped her fingers.
―――――.
“But, it won’t be easy.”
The shadow spread wide following her call.
Thanks to this, everything was covered in darkness.
This time, it’s so much thicker that even Leah can’t penetrate it.
“The pretty stories in fairy tales are not easy in reality.”
Rosanna’s platinum dress gradually turned black.
The area that covered her voluptuous skin also changed to a black lace pattern.
“You won’t be able to stop me in this competition.”
Only her blue eyes sparkled in the darkness.
“Your students and the princesses you love will only experience despair, Veil.”
Rosanna gradually began to disappear, leaving behind meaningful words.
“It was like meeting young Leonhard, so it was fun for the first time in a while.”
He just disappeared, leaving me in the dark.
As if they were trying to lock him in until the end of this match.
“But, that’s the only place you can stand today.”
The Empress pointed her finger at me, who was trapped in a dark space.
After that, she walked out alone at a leisurely pace.
“Damn….”
I was left alone in pitch black darkness.
No matter how much I looked around or ran, there was no way out.
“This is truly a ridiculous hex.”
Indeed, she is a talent feared even in her own native country, Epina.
It is a strange technique that is neither mana nor magic.
Any soldier who encounters this for the first time will fall into fear.
‘It wasn’t nonsense that she was a woman that only the emperor could afford… !’
I stopped in one place for a moment.
And then, he tried to activate the Grand Aura to light up the surroundings.
But, at that moment.
I felt an unknown tingling sensation in my heart.
As if I had been poisoned.
“What…?” ?”
I placed my palm near my heart.
Then, I felt a subtle touch in my chest pocket.
“….”
I took out what was inside.
Then, a tea bag that was soaked in tea and drank appeared.
“Mabichoro….”
This is an herb used to subdue knights who mainly use mana.
When you first smell the scent, it has no effect, but if it lasts for a few minutes, you will be unable to use mana for a while.
Of course, it is a meaningless trap to me.
Because you can’t stop the Grand Auror with herbs like this.
But.
When combined with Rosanna’s hex, the effect seems to have doubled.
Thanks to this, I couldn’t activate my aura for about 10 minutes.
“….”
Suddenly, looking at this Mabicho, I remembered what the emperor had said.
「Rosanna was a great child.」
The emperor originally felt burdened by having s*x with a woman 20 years younger than him.
Rosanna is said to have seduced herself by weaponizing her own sensual body and her girlish shyness.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get over it….
I secretly entered his bedroom and burned ‘paralysis incense.’
It is said that for some reason even the emperor was unable to use his aurors for 10 minutes.
「I looked down on him because he was young… ?」
And, the remaining three minutes were enough time for Rosanna to take on the emperor’s body.
「I need to scold that arrogant old man.」
At first, she simply planned to raise her standing by bearing the emperor’s first child.
However, it is said that once she tasted the man’s body, she stayed up many nights, driven by lust and instincts she did not know about.
‘Now that I think about it, it seems like there was always a picture of a pomegranate tree next to Rosanna’s portrait….’
I had goosebumps and swallowed deeply.
And then, I just focused on getting out of here and stopping Rosanna’s plan.
Ambitious to the point of coveting the emperor.
I don’t know what he might plan with that ambition.
First, I sat down on the floor and crossed my legs.
Then, through meditation, I began to drive away Mabicho’s energy and Rosanna’s evil magic.
But something strange happened.
“… !”
The more you react to her magic and drive her away, the more you drive her away.
The image of Rosanna lusting after her emperor kept appearing in my mind.
As if her memories were shared with me.
Getting on top of the paralyzed person and taking off her lace bra.
For some reason, that scene kept coming to mind.
「How about… ? Are you still going to ignore me as her little lady?”
The empress’s lewd movements were not learned.
It was an instinctive movement, as if it had been imprinted on her body from birth.
At first, I tried to erase that image from my mind.
However, in that scene, Rosanna’s face began to overlap Leah’s more and more.
As if showing my future.
「What do you think? “Can you still reject me like this?”
The lewd voice of the first princess of the empire.
Her eyes were tightly closed as she saw the sound of heavy breathing mixed together.
‘Are you going to make me fall into a fantasy that reminds me of Leah?’
“….”
I looked at their scene with a calm expression.
Then, suddenly, the sight of the emperor breaking Rosanna’s magic spell came into view.
An emperor who somehow redirects the force concentrated on his lower body back to his heart.
Afterwards, when he stretched out his palm as if shooting out the collected energy, Rosanna’s magic was broken.
‘This is it…’ !’
I took his appearance as a reference and focused my entire body’s strength on my heart as much as possible.
Rosanna’s lewd movements, seen overlapping with Leah’s in the middle, were somewhat disturbing.
But, I took a deep breath and ignored it.
And, the moment when I was trying to somehow push away Rosanna’s magic.
“… !”
Lydia’s ring on my hand began to glow red.
As if trying to push away the seductive figure of Leah.
The same was true for Irina’s treasured sword worn at her waist.
Their energy disturbed Rosanna, as if they grabbed her older sister’s hair and bit her when she tried to attack her first.
“That’s it… !”
Thanks to you, I was able to focus all my strength on the center of my heart.
After this, the moment you extend your palm.
――――――!!
The veil of darkness surrounding me collapsed.
Afterwards, the passage leading to the stadium reappeared.
“Phew….”
I could barely breathe and tried to get up.
However, Leah’s face kept appearing in Rosanna’s image and it bothered me.
This also seemed to be her magic.
I was thinking about Leah alone.
The ring on my ring finger and the treasured sword kept sparkling and urging me on.
“I understand, I understand…”
As if responding to this, I stood up again.
And then, we hurriedly headed to the stadium.
