Chapter 21: A Conversation Between the Royal Sibling

My sister and I calmed ourselves down immediately, seeing the trembling twins in front of us, I immediately make my eyes that turned black go white once again and the same as my sister as her eyes went from crimson red color into Heterochromatic of blue and red once again as I gestured the twins to continue, that they immediately did so while heaving a sigh of relief under their noses.

They once again kneeled (they sure love to kneel huh?) in front of us as they immediately elaborated the situation while having a hint of painful expression in their faces that signified their worry to their mother.

"Idun-sama wants help in casting the curse shattering spell she have created for Loki-sama's wife, however, the problem is, Arachne-sama was rampant and have to be forcibly shut down in our forest causing Idun-sama's power to lower just because of Arachne-sama's presence making her incapable of casting the said spell, and right now, she is bedridden and is being taken care off by her twelve stars."

A moment of silence was observed, but not because of shock anymore. Arachne is in the vicinity of Idun's forest after all, so it would be weirder if she is jumping around her bed instead if being bedridden. My sister and I nodded upon digesting the twin's words.

"How about Virgo?"

Asked my sister as a faint smile was seen in my face that didn't noticed by anyone even my sister, the smile immediately disappeared and my stoic presence was stored in a matter of seconds as Gemini immediately answered.

"Virgo can cast the spell, but the problem is, the seal is constantly breaking because of Arachne-sama's will to destroy the world when Loki-Sama disappeared and is weakening as we speak and Virgo is not a fighter and surely, even with the help of her remaining Eleven siblings, we cannot put up a fight against someone who can fight Loki-Sama fair and square."

They lowered their head slightly because of the shame of their weakness, even though they do know that they didn't have a chance against Arachne who can go toe to toe against me, the feeling of guilt is still their, just like how Chris and Ophiuchus thought that they have failed me because I was sealed during the war, even though the truth is, they did not, more so that the stars treat Idun as their birthgiver, then the guilt is deeper.

"So in short, you want me to calm her down because you have no other means to do so?"

I immediately went to the point as my sister gave me a "you're so blunt" look as she immediately disperse her look and went back at looking at the two twins in front of us.

Gemini once again frowned and a shamed expression appeared on their faces once more in which I ignored, I am honestly angry at those eleven... I mean twelve idiot, they are supposed to be subordinates of my friend and they can only ask for my help after my friend suffered in bed powerless for two hundred goddamn years.

That's not what a subordinate is supposed to do, but who am I to judge, I didn't even know that my wife, Arachne is in her territory and I certainly didn't predicted that she will bring her self in such dangers just to stop one of my wives' rampage.

Furthermore she also formulated a whole spell so that my wife, Arachne will not suffer anymore from her curse, so I guess I can also feel ashamed somehow.

"...Yes, shameless as it may be, we have no means of fighting one of Loki-Sama's wives and only Virgo can cast the spell that will unbound the ill fate between our mother and Loki-Sama's wife once and for all, if we are being disrespectful of our humble request, then please execute us, but do it after you have saved our mother."

Their faces have conviction in it as they held into their chest proudly as they are holding their heads high and left their kneeling position a while ago, it seem like they have misunderstood my words and took it as me being offended by their selfish request, though it is not really that selfish if you think about it.

I immediately waved my right hand and it seems like my sister have the same expression as me, trying to rebuke them by their unfounded conviction. Speaking of my sister, she didn't asked for any questions towards the twins aster that one question this whole time for she seem to know that I can handle this matter and she also knows that she is only here because I want her to listen to this conversation.

Though we will have to have another talk later on about the things that will be affected after I accepted this request of them and how we will deal with it, yes, that's right, I already gave an answer though didn't voiced it out to them yet and the answer is yes, obviously, she's my friend after all so I have to help her out and it's not like I won't benefit from it either.

I remembered that Altair have to have a change of weapon and Vega have to learn hand to hand combat and I think it's perfect that I will be going to her place. Though the other rulers will surely become agitated and will question me about this move, in which I don't really give a fuck.

Ah, wait, I am already talking about the things that will happen after this conversation even though the conversation itself didn't even ended yet. Well this are just my predictions, predictions and nothing else, who knows through the power of friendship, one of my predictions will not be accurate.

Anyway, thinking about those things I simply said to the two identical twins in front us: "No, no, Don't misunderstand, it is shameless but the one requesting assistance is a close friend of mine so we won't be executing anyone now."

They seem to be relieved by these but then my sister asked.

"But why do you need her to be calmed down by my brother and not just remove the curse while she is sealed so that you did not need Loki's help in the first place? Furthermore, you do know the Non-interference rule of the seven rulers will be shattered by my brother by this move right?"

The twins looked at each other for a while and then immediately went to look at my sister with a face that have a confused look.

"Well, Idun-sama said that Loki-Sama will surely ignore this rule soon after Loki-Sama reunited with his wife, though we do not know the meaning of this statement of our mother fully, we understand a part of it when Loki-Sama went to Camelot and completely ignoring the presence of the Archangel in the empire."

Gemini, the two of them immediately added as we nodded our heads in response to Idun's assumption that is for some reason incredibly accurate and asked them to answer the former question.

"As for the former question, we needs your help to calm her down because, like we said earlier, we, the 12 Stars do not have any chance of winning against Arachne-sama, furthermore the seal is cracking slowly but then suddenly hasted the destroying process as if Arachne-sama sensed Loki-Sama's awakening, and we are not confident enough to let one of our sister near the rampant Arachne-sama."

After this, I tapped my sister's shoulder and muttered "Only my wife can sit on my throne's armchair."

"You bastard of a brother."

This mutter of us was heard by the twins as they made small snorts under their noses, they of course make it so that they cannot be heard as I stood up in that stiff and cold obsidian throne of mine, it was cold because I don't sit on it often, just a side note.

"Okay then, I the King of the Devils will assist the Fairy Princess, though there will be compensations I have to say to Idun directly, by the way, can you two send Leon in Valentine? I don't want to Travel there by myself because of the danger of shattering the barrier of the Forest that locked it down inside out."

I looked at my sister and nodded, we will be having a conversation after this it seems.

"It will be done..."

Gemini patted their chest twice as they bowed lightly in front of us and make side glances at each other as they suddenly bowed at us in a complete right angle (90 degrees) as they say.

"Thank you for helping our mother, Loki-Sama, Eris-sama."

They said in complete synchrony and this time, it is my sister and I's turn to side glance at each other as we gave a faint smile in front of them as we also made a synchronized reply similar to how the both of them always are.

"Don't worry about it, just think about it as favor of a friend doing for a friend."

They then immediately left the place with a faint smile on their faces as only the two Royal Sibling of Valentine is left in the throne room and I immediately formulated things I need to have when I travel to my friend's territory.

Actually I only need one person, Altair for like I said a few weeks back, I have her to have a weapon change and she is surprisingly good in designs that she already have her well detailed design in which the Royal Blacksmith is really impressed about on how good the design is while still not ignoring the functionality.

However, before I even opened the door, my sister suddenly asked a question.

"So how about your cover story in going to the Forest of Idun?"

Tacking heels can be heard as my sister slowly but surely went right in my back, and then went in my right side looking at me directly with her sharp and wise Heterochromatic eyes.

"Why do I need something like that?"

I raised my right eyebrow as I folded my arms and stopped my opening motion and just stood there as I immediately knew that this conversation will be long, I gestured my sister to go into the other sits in the side of the throne platform, that's where the ministers and shits sit, though just for formalities and we are just using this place as casual sitting apparatus.

My sister, Eris frowned in my response.

" You do know you are breaking the Rule of Non-interference between the Seven Ruler right?"

Nee-sama casually dragged a chair for herself, loud screeching sound of the friction between the floor and the chair resonated, but we ignored for we have heard something worse than this in our long, century long lives as I immediately responded.

"Yes, the rule that I have no chance on voting about."

I made a sarcastic laugh as I rested my chin in my palms looking at my sister who is scratching the right side of her forehead.

"That's not my point, as you already know, the peace of this era is wobbly and Rulers plots and wants the destruction of one another because of that god-damned war right? What if this place got attacked by hundred of thousands of demons or dragons?"

I just also scratched the side of my forehead as my worrisome sister looked at me with a frown, even though she already knows all the answer into this question, she still have to make sure of this because of her overprotective nature towards our citizens, in which is honestly something that I admire.

"Yeah, let them try, so that Guinevere can make them remember how the Chaos Bringer got titled the Chaos Bringer in the first place."

My sister let out a sigh as if to accepting her lost in this arguments, though I would say that she still have many avenue to attack...

"But, let me warn you, this bastards, after this move of yours will surely use you as an excuse to break this rule and that means a total turnaround in the balance of the world."

A complete silence in the room resounded as my lips curled up and an evil, ear to ear smile of complete Malevolence appeared in my face as I just simply responded with voice that suggests cunningness and unfiltered confidence.

"Wouldn't that actually work?"

I then immediately turned back to normal and then went to go to the gate of the throne room as I turned around into my sister.

"Don't worry about it Onee-Sama, For now, let's prepare for my departure, shall we?."
