Chapter 258 [Vol 2 Epilogue]: Lives Intertwined
As the crown prince of the Dominii shouted he noticed that the air around him suddenly disappeared. Sound needs to travel in the air thus if there is no air there can be no sound. Dylan looked in horror at the woman in front of him.
Yesterday she was Vanessa Mitsurugi, empress ranked sub of the battle harem heavenly sword. Now she is one of Vaginarnis. While the prince understood why she would want to hide the fact that Vanessa was now on borrowed time, he found it unfair.
The crown prince was not dumb, using his spies he managed to piece together that Hiroyuki Mitsurugi and Hiroto Musashi were one and the same. The hardship this transmigrator had to go through would be considered unfair by most. He literally died and got reborn all to reclaim his women.
After much sacrifice, he finally did so only for them to trade their lives to become Vaginarnis. If it was him he would be not only hurt but devastated. It meant even if Hiro defeated the invasion his wives would all die. And they are now intending to keep such a truth a secret.
"My Lady, Why would you do this without his knowledge? I thought you loved him."
At that moment Dylan\'s neck suddenly got strangled by an invisible force. Unable to resist the prince started to get hanged as his feet left the ground. An angry voice muttered complaints at his remarks.
"Thread carefully prince. Hiro-sama is the most important thing in this world to me. That is the one thing I will not allow anyone even you to doubt!"
Struggling Dylan spoke while having his throat crushed. Unlike normal humans, system users past a certain point no longer need to breathe. So getting strangled was no big deal. It hurt though, so reflexes trying to avoid getting choked would remain in system users.
"Then why? There is a reason the empires never underwent the Vaginarnis ritual. What is the point in gaining power when you sacrifice your strongest children for it? Can you imagine what Hiro would do when all of you three die in front of him!"
"In, ten years we would just need to give him something else to live for." Answered the blond Vaginarnis.
Dylan indignant continued to argue. "With what? You cannot give birth! Your husband will never take another woman as his wife, he said so himself. What will you use to anchor his life if all three of you die in a decade!"
Unable to restrain herself further Vanessa snapped back in anger as tears ran down her face. "AND WHAT DO YOU EXPECT US TO DO?! WE ARE POWERLESS! ...The man I love wishes to save the world by sacrificing himself! If we do not do this we cannot even follow him! Do you have any idea how much it hurts to see the one you love suffer? DO YOU?!
"The battles will only get harder. My sisters and I made a vow. We will protect him. We will love him, cherish him and die for him. All three of us will never allow him to be sacrificed in this stupid war.
"Speak no more of this Dylan Lancea Dominii. Even as a [Novice] I now have enough power to end you. Stay silent or I will spare not even your wives and children. Do not test me!"
Vanessa used the same invisible force to slam Dylan to the ground. Afterwards, a sound screen and mirage illusion broke allowing the other groups to finally see the crown prince and the strider. The woman silently wiped her tears and raced towards the east.
Two others similarly flew in the skies as they all raced to meet their husband. Dylan who got back up lamented the turn of events. It was clear how much Hiro and his women loved each other. This very reason pushed them to do such acts.
Dylan felt the danger of the invasion become tangible. Originally he still had his doubts but now he grew sure. If Savior royalty from three separate empires all are this desperate. The coming storm cannot be a lie.
"DYLAN!" "Honey, are you alright?"
Two women suddenly threw themselves on the crown prince of the Dominii. One wore shinobi garbs, the other full plate armor. The man could feel their erratic heartbeats with his high AGI. Dylan lovingly stroked their hair as he answered.
"Leto, Talvi, I am fine. Are Autumn, Vesna, and Kael all alright? Did we lose anyone?"
