Chapter 17: Gemini the Twins

[3rd Person POV]

Loki was currently indulging himself in the return of his wife making the two go into "action" everynight as he once again let loose of his kinks for he finally have one of his wives, a condition he set for himself before continuing into his womanizing journey, figures of prominent powers in every part of the world frowned.

The Rulers of Power and Charisma all looked at the direction of Valentine anxiously as their prideful and stoic appearances was now nowhere to be seen. Even though they are not in the same room, even though they are thousand of miles away from each other, they said and exclaimed the same thing.

"Guinevere rejoined Loki!?"

Guinevere, though never did became a hero of humanity was still a prominent power, she was even called as The Ruler Humans Never Had because of her disinterest in this kind of world power affairs.

She was prominent for her cataclysmic powers as she and her power is regarded as something for mass destruction and should never be used for combat, who would want to have an opponent who can make the fearless King of the Devils have bad memories right?

Guinevere is the strongest human on earth and is the only human beside her brother to attain immortality, she have power that goes toe to toe with Loki's mother, the strongest Ruler to ever exist and is someone that is untouchable even by the prideful Demon Lord and the Stoic King of Dragons.

The rule of "Non-interference" and "Restricted Ruler Travel" was implemented for one thing, to restrict Loki from regathering her two surviving wives, they sacrificed their own freedom for him to be locked up in Valentine, though some of them are planning for his demise and part of this plan is the said rule, all of them agreed, yes, for some reason even Eris, Loki's sister agreed into implementing this rule, maybe because she knew from the start that some rule that is so simplistic it's stupid will never restrict her brother, either way, all of them agreed into this rule just to restrain the slumbering Malevolence known as the Devil King.

However, all of a sudden their sacrifice, went down the drain, one day when suddenly all of them got cut off with their spies that is monitoring the daughter of Loki, Igraine, also a person of great power though not as great as her father for she doesn't have the diligence to learn other magic more than her own Bloodline Magic.

All of their spies that have different device and enchantment into their bodies in order for their lord to peek through what are the said spies are seeing, disappeared.

Someone who watched the confident and somewhat lazy Igraine closely will see how it is possible, she just made the spies disappear through her [Void] Bloodline Magic, but because the rulers have just watched Igraine because of mere caution, they can't know full well how [Void] works and speculated the weakness of the magic as something that can only work on inanimate object.

Realizing that something is going on and it is probably related to Loki, the rulers, including the friend of Loki, the Fairy Princess kept close eyes in Valentine but was also blocked by the super spy of Loki and when they got unblocked because of reasons they don't know, they saw a hand blade of Loki punched through the heart of Igraine.

At that moment, all of them paled, at first they thought that some rule is enough, but no, who would have thought that Loki will kill his child to fetch his wife and his wife to not mind the murder of her daughter at all, they tried to once again spy on Valentine until the end of the festival celebrating the return of Loki, but no, Igraine Pendragon Darkbringer is nowhere to be seen.

Even though, Selaphiel knew that Loki did not killed his daughter, she doesn't have any means of communication to the other Rulers to relay this information to them.

At that moment, Loki gave them a grim reminder, just how cruel and merciless The Devil can be.

As the Rulers, or well, most of them is brooding because of this matter, two figures in the dark alley of Valentine are hiding in the shadows, they are perfectly melded into the shadow that not even assassins or spies that was trained in the Forest of death can notice them and only Ophiuchus can have a good look on their faces, the figures both have dark blue ninja attires, they have identical facial features and the only difference is the bulging breasts of the other one signifying that she is female in gender.

The twins are two shinobi sent by a certain member of the Seven Ruler, and because they can still freely converse in Valentine despite being a spy and the ongoing "spy purge" by Ophiuchus herself, one can presume that they are not simple spies and have a considerable amount of experience, or atleast an experience enough to temporarily elude the grasp of Loki's super assassin.

They silently started to converse with only the natural connection that the twins have, a power only this two exceptional twins and no one else posseses.

"So Loki-dono finally reclaimed his wife."

The male of the twins glanced around the surroundings repeatedly, he mentally proclaimed his message to his other twin as he cautiously look and search for anyone who might be watching them, though their conversation cannot be discovered, they cannot be so sure if someone tracked them.

Better safe than sorry, as they say.

"Hmm, so it seems."

The lady of the twins responded with the same movements as her brother, glances and tracking any suspicious individuals that may be watching them.

"... But still, Loki-dono is living my dream to have a harem of beautiful ladies."

The male got distracted and heaved a huge sigh much to the annoyance of his sister.

"Your dream will never come true for you don't have tact, brother."

Cold breeze seem to come out of his sister's body as she spoke the trut-, Ahem... I mean her retort that seem to stab the male with a dagger right in the heart.

"What do you mean no tact!?"

The lady just made a huge sigh distracting her with her tracking like her brother too, not noticing a purple figure in the top of the building of the dark alley they are hiding in that is having an ear to ear grin as she watched the sibling's spat from above.

"Loki-Sama will never say to someone he is interested in that he have a harem."

"But, isn't that lying!?"

" No, Loki-Sama won't ever tell lies."

"Then why wouldn't he say his harem!?"

"Because he wants to hide it."

"Then, that's lying!"

"No, Loki-Sama's words are the only truth."

"Shut up, you simp!"

The squabble is about to turn into an altercation as the two siblings grasped dagger in their waist, however they were interrupted by a voice that is filled with confidence and mockery.

"Hey~ how did your conversation turned from being tactful to being a simp, doesn't make sense... Okay, anyway I have something to ask, what the hell are you two doing here Gemini the Twins? Have Idun gone mad and sent her precious children to their demise!?"

The voice suddenly turned cold as chills ran down their spine and the voice rang into their ears again and again as if the voice is being engraved onto their very minds. That moment they knew it, because of their instincts that was honed because of several dangerous missions screamed.

Don't run and just stand.

For this motion will either save your life, or will free you from the land of the living.

"N-no! Wait! Listen to us... We no, Mother wants to send a call of distress, please understand our intentions."

The twins immediately calmed down as though they didn't sound agitated just a few minutes ago and then kneeled down in front of Ophiuchus, Ophiuchus immediately went down in front of them with a purple blur as she frowned in front of them.

"Hmm... Distress huh? Well, unfortunately Loki's not here and in another country doing something...."

Gemini, the both of them was shocked, to think that the Devil King will now blatantly disregard the rules of the rulers, to be expected of him.

"I- I see..."

Both of them was about to leave when Ophiuchus said:

"Oh, I know, how about you wait for him? And while you two are at it, how about you help me wipe out the spies?"

"Eh... Help...."

"Oh? Gonna refuse?"

The Twins are reluctant but by seeing how innocent (terrifying) Ophiuchus' smile is, they decided that it is for their best interest to just comply.

Nothing can't be solved by a smile, that's what the trio have in mind.

[Loki's POV]

Hello, Loki here.

So it has been three days after the festival that happened off camera, I did not really strolled around the places and is absent for the most part except for the night festival in which there are many foods.

The reason is, Me and Guinevere is getting into action almost everyday causing us to be absent from morning to afternoon, so yeah, we are absent in the festival because we are having sex.

Well, why do you care!?

That's what a couple's supposed to do right!?

Sigh... Anyway, I am In Camelot right and I am currently disguised as some random dude that is staring at the manor of the Mondragon Family using illusion magic. I am here to investigate the case of "Unreasonable Negligence" between Juliet and her family, well speaking of Juliet, she is doing fine and she became quite attached to me, at first she wants to have meals by herself delivered by the maid directly into her room that is just next to mine.

But after the festival it seems like she felt like she is imposing into us if she continued to be like that so she decided to have her three meals with the three of us so that she will not become a burden to the servants.

Or well that was her reason, but I can see that she wants to be with me and just too shy to say it, I can say that because of my lie detection ability and not because of me being a narcissist.

And even if I don't have the said ability I can pretty much tell that that was really the case for she always clings her arms into mine whenever Guinevere is not around.

Ah, she was so cute I'm telling you. Specially her breasts that presses into my arms everytime... Sigh...

"Mama! there's a creep smiling in front of the Mondragon Manor!"

"Husssh! He might hear you."

I was immediately snapped back to reality and got red in embarrassment for a moment, that little brat calling me a creep!

However, because I am a good person, I ignored the brat and then straightened up again as I started to pre-analyse the manor, several servants are cleaning, tending the garden or trimming the cats and dogs in the gigantic garden of this rich ass family, however there is something strange that maybe only I or some people who are always close to them can notice.

The servants have dead fish eyes as if they were just moving corpse and there is a putrid yet sweet scent that is coming from the manor, though it doesn't affect me in any way and for some reason, Juliet too in which she finds strange.

Though she is not perceptive enough that she will notice that they are probably hypnotized by the scent, but when I asked her about the things that she finds unusual when I was about to set out into this country using a Ninjutsu Spell like how Ophiuchus comes here and go back there with ease, she said that she finds this sweet scent strange.

Though when I asked her about this, that was all she founds strange.

More so that I found it putrid instead of pleasant.

This is kind of dangerous, atleast for them, for they might be dealing with someone that have the same personality as me.

A manipulator, and a high caliber one at that and have a good amount of magic knowledge, because illusions in the sense of smell is the hardest to remove in the system because the nose is not only for smelling, it is also for oxygen inhaling, and oxygen is needed by the brain to function properly and the brain is the main organ that is being targeted by Illusions.

What does that mean? It means that the nose is the easiest way to invade the mind and the hardest to cancel.

Don't misunderstand of course all the five senses are connected to the brain, but like, if you shut your eyes and sacrificed the sense of sight then the illusion is cancelled, but you can't just get the nose to a close because the mouth doesn't have cilia (the hair in the nose) so several things will come inside the system unfiltered and nobles are well aware of that and disgusted of that fact, so you may found it stupid but they won't easily shut their nose because of that reasons.

Oh man, how interesting, to think of something like this and control a whole noble clan in the shadows, how intriguing.

Thinking of those things, I looked around and confirmed if there is no passerby and then dived into my shadows, my destination is inside the manor of the Mondragon Family.

"Kufufu~ What kind of person will I see in that manor I wonder~"
