Chapter 41: Departure

After the negotiations and the official contract signing. The banquet, that was already a festival at this point because of the volume of the participants and foods continued from that morning until midnight. This people sure are good eaters, the preparations done by Virgo was snorted like powder drug and have to be replenished every second.

Well, dwarves are happy creatures, even though they have their important basic survival instincts clogged by their future queen, they just shrugged it off and laughed while banging their beer mugs towards each other and waving around meats as big as my thigh and didn't care about the matter anymore.

It was honestly fun, banquets are boring because you have to be elegant, but in a festival you can eat your fill until your stomach explodes and no one will care about it.

So of course, I forgot about my status as a prince and also ate quite a lot, though I won't describe anything other than that because it's disgraceful for my image. What would the ladies say if they hear me eat that much amount of food. That would be quite a heavy blow to my prestige.

Anyway, because of the banquet and because of how tired I am, I am not in the mood to have "night time adventures in the creaking bed" with Arachne and the two of us just slept immediately after that vigorous festival.

The next day, means, today, is the day that I will leave out of this forest back to my home country, I am sure those people there, specially my sister misses me already so I can't delay it when I said that I will already going back today.

Thinking back about my mental notes in this place and making sure that I have achieved all my goals of coming in this forest.

First, save Idun and retrieve Arachne. Well, obviously, as it was the main point of my presence in this forest, I, of course made that as a priority and thus, I already achieved that first and foremost.

Second, forge a weapon for Altair, yup check, next is me requesting Idun to lend me Libra of the Scales and Virgo the Maiden. Actually Idun is quite reluctant about the part of Virgo coming to my place, saying she might not become Virgo the Maiden anymore, but I can say that she can rest assured...(?)

Anyway, enough of that because actually, there is another goal, or side goal for its not really something I can only do when I am here, I just made that side goal because I am already here and it is more convenient to do things earlier rather than later.

The side goal have something to do with Lucifer making a move towards my home and my promise to make his ass burning every living second of his life. If my measures succeeded, then he have a face like a tomato splattered in a concrete floor but if not, then, I guess a war is an option.

That person will not make negotiations as an option in the first place because he deemed it as cowardly. I have atleast ninety percent confidence that the thing I did worked.

Why is it high? Because the one who did it is me.

Why is not a perfect hundred percent? Because my target is Lucifer.

As I was thinking of those, I woke up from my bed, I am feeling refreshed and not exhausted right now. I also have high metabolism so I didn't get fat or anything.

Arachne also woke up in her human form... Once again naked...

I grabbed her waist as a startled look on her face was visible.

"Let's go for a quick one."

And so we really did just go for a quicky, I mean, what would you expect? I will lost myself again in my lust? No, I have a lot of self control and I can stop myself anytime I want, those times are just the times when I gave up control and just go wild.

But like I said, we are now already preparing for departure, or the maids are.

When we went out out, we saw blushing faces of fairy maids with embarrassed look on them. Oh, I forgot the usual air sealing huh? Oh well, I went and made them carry our luggage, but it was interrupted and was instead accepted by Libra.

I guess he was instructed by Idun so that the maids will not hear any weird sounds, but the maids didn't got informed for this and just did their usual duty, so they heard the weird sounds.

So the annoying mode of Idun is the one who instructed Libra huh? A bummer for them for hearing those... Really, if they just joined in, then it will be fine...

"Don't even think about it, Loki-Sama. Mom will throw whole mountains at you, literally."

I flinched as I didn't realized that I was making a stupid grin while slouching for a while. I immediately straightened my back as a stoic expression appeared on my face.

"What do you mean by that?"

Libra locked his brows.

"You do know that all people in this place already is aware how horny you are right?"

"You little shit knows that I am still your superior right?"

"Yeah, yeah."

We have a conversation like that until we reach a fortress main gate like structure, the only difference is that the gate is in the middle of the fucking tree in not in the lowest part of it. Leon is in there with his usual high and mighty pose while Virgo is on top of him waving her hand like how a normal reserved maiden is.

I made a smile and immediately boarded Leon with a leap, same to Arachne. Altair also did so while muttering "Oh, so the giant cat will be our vehicle again.", Libra also leapt as a matter of course.

We waved our hands while some races are in the ground cheering, apparently it was because of me that their future queen is unshackled from the burden of her fate and thus seeing me as a great benefactor.

Well isn't that nice. Going back, after the Heavenly stars showed deep words of gratitude towards me for the second time, in which of course I also returned with some words of waving the gratitude off.

We finally departed from the Forest of Idun, the future Fairy Nation of Marchenwald, towards the Vampire and Devil Country, Valentine.

[3rd Person POV]

Idun's cheerful face, immediately disappeared from her whole being as if her very nature made a three hundred sixty degree turn, she have a frown on her face as she saw the leaving figure of her friend becoming smaller and smaller from her view until it turned into just a dot and ultimately, completely vanishing from her eyes.

She started to flutter her wings that is akin to that of a dragonfly, rather hesitantly as some gust of winds started to pick up and dispersed, this sequence of events continued, until the lady of the twins, now named Pollux, couldn't bear with it and just asked.

"Mother... What are you doing...?"

Pollux asked as Idun immediately went and made her wings go in a normal and in rest state, as she just answered. "Nothing." and continued looking at the distance.

The cause of her worry is... Well, wholesome at the very least.

She is afraid that her daughter, Virgo's chastity or sexual orientation (Because of Eris) is in danger in Valentine. Chastity because of Loki, after all, the two of them are friends for a long time and knows that even though he have some rules in picking up girls, the rules doesn't have that much restrictions if one is to think about it.

For example the "Women who can oppose his will, and have the ability to do so, is a no." Yes, many people opposes Loki's will or plans, however only a handful of them can make an open display of disapproval. Namely: Idun, Selaphiel, and Eris. Who are not even opposing him (except for Selaphiel) in the first place.

So, what the fuck is the point of that rule?

NOTHING!

That rule just says that Loki looks at enemies as enemies despite the enemy being a man or a woman. Not to restrain his dick from railing up people until they past out of pleasure or until his balls runs dry of semen.

Sigh....

Idun can only let out a long sigh, Well, Loki have a good amount of self control so it should be fine... Yeah... Who knows... Probably...

Idun ignored this thoughts as he suddenly turned around and walked.

"Time to create a country."

At the same time, when Idun is thinking about his daughter's purity. A person flying in the sky princess carrying a brown skinned man with holes all over his body can be seen.

The holes doesn't have any drop of blood coming out of it, but it also cannot be closed, not even a little, the best the man with jet black wings similar to that of an angel just different in color can cancel in the curse embedded by Eris. This proves how strong the enemy of Leviathan, his subordinate that lost one sidedly with a very bad match up against Eris.

Lucifer didn't blamed him for this, after all, a Subordinate is just a subordinate. If that subordinate is not someone who just became a subordinate because of the nature of his or her work like how Ophiuchus became a subordinate because operating as an assassin without a target is stupid, then fighting against one of the Seven Rulers is a dream... Or not, it was a delusion and pure insanity.

However, Lucifer is still in a very, very bad mood right now. His handsome face was now nowhere to be seen and only a face that looked like a rotten tomato splattered in the ground can be seen.

The moment he learned Loki is going to the forest of Fairies, he immediately mobilized one of his subordinates and ordered him to infiltrate Valentine, Lucifer knew that Loki will probably succeed in his goal of rescuing Idun from certain death, however, he thought that as long as he infiltrated the country, then he can make the wheels of his plan work.

Oh, how foolish did he thought of such a thing.

Suddenly, the signature beacon of Idun that is always appears as a way for Idun to announce herself suddenly made an appearance. Turning Lucifer to a foresightful Lord to a Racial Embarrassment in a matter of seconds. He decided to make his plan for world domination to start at this moment, despite Loki saving a potential powerful ally of himself from death because Lucifer thought Idun will take time to recover from all the poison being directly fed to her by the curse.

Furthermore the poison is just not any poison, it is a poison from an individual who killed any person with a drop, A Drop of the poison she uses. Humans, Demons, Dragons name all of it. No one that is not in the level of the rulers ever survived the poison of Arachne.

With this thinking, then Idun will have a hard time deflecting it right? More so, she was... Weaker than the rest of the rulers...

Lucifer realized another mistake.

It was a mistake a conventional someone in the peak of his or her power can do, to underestimate someone and unconsciously make him someone lower than that person in his personal power hierarchy.

And that was Loki immediately knew, for he himself sometimes commits this mistake. The only difference is that Lucifer's pride and arrogance are more intense than him that he always makes the said mistake and end up ruining things for himself.

Surely, Lucifer immediately knew all of this for he wasn't a fool and his pride have a backing called experience. He did underestimated the power of the world's greatest enchantress.

"He took advantage of my pride..."

Lucifer just mumbled as he immediately went and decided.

To postpone the plan of taking over Valentine, for a three way guardian in the front and in the back are in front of the country.

A frown once again appeared on his face.

"How can he be so intelligent to use all of this principle against someone not even in front of him?"

At this moment, Lucifer experienced first hand how just Loki have absolute situational control.

And it will surely not be the last time.
