Chapter 14: Betray The Northern Kingdom, And Become Our King? by Harem-Fan

     The woman leading the 4 Knights accompanying her, said in an accent.

     "Western Desert Kingdom of Anubis Representative, Daniella Windless... I am here to take Sam Roland home to my Kingdom, please do not resist."

     I could feel from my connection, Freya was really pissed...

     The 4 Knights guarding the beautiful woman, all noticed the abnormally bright-blade glinting in the dim light of the Beast Forest, and the hands on their weapons tightened.

     The average height woman, who looks to only be 18 or so, smiled seeing me.

     Her brown eyes and sandy-blonde hair fluttered in the forest breeze. Her clothing was a white hooded cloak with sand colored shoulder-strap dress that went to her knees, wearing ankle-high boots. She said to me,

     "Young Roland, do not be in a hurry to fight, let us talk like civilized Humans, otherwise, we are no different than Demons, right?"

     She reached into her Space Bag, and pulled out a scroll case, and held it up, then spoke as my group tightened its defensive formation.

     "My King has given me the mission to open your eyes to what your future can be. What the Northern Kingdom has offered you is nothing but breadcrumbs, and this has my King's sincerity, I shall now tell you his proposal..."

     Freya behind me was nervous, because if I left for the Western Kingdom, she would also become a traitor. But as she felt her connection to me closely, she only felt I was calm and not excited, like someone who is tempted would be...

     As the Earth Mage woman unrolled the scroll, it depicted the picture of 3 extraordinary women. If the women in the picture were as beautiful as painted, then they are on par with Freya, Rebeca, and even Vera. Well, they might even be more attractive, because those women have a more exotic look, like women born to be belly dancers. She spoke while looking at me.

     "These are the three most beautiful Mage Daughters of the King... All 3 Princesses are untouched, and willing to become your wives. And when you marry them, you will be made the new Crowned Prince, next in line to become King of our Western Kingdom. I am also given to you as a gift for joining my Nation. You will be treated with the best possible care that you deserve."

     Ah?! Dammit... If I was not aware of what a Honey Trap was, and had a good family, friends, and a wife, her words could have tempted me.

     When she saw my eyes of gold glitter in thought, she ignored the ugly looks of my party and said more.

     "In the past, we also had a male Mage in our homeland, and he was worshiped, and had a hundred of the Kingdom's best Mage wives. Most of his children were born strong as the Nation's top Knights and Mages for a century. Your wealth will be limitless, and I am also a strong woman, who will serve your every desire?"

     I smile at her, and tell her.

     "Miss, I am flattered by your offer. But the North is my home, and my friends and wife live here. My family has its roots here, and I am not a lustful man. You are a very beautiful woman, but I will have to let your kindness down. Please tell your King that I would like to become friends in the future, and am deeply touched."

     The beautiful Earth Mage woman was very upset to be rejected. Though she did not really want to become my plaything, she was willing to submit for her Kingdoms sake, and the fact our children would be very talented. Her pride felt stepped on, then she noticed Freya behind me.@@novelbin@@

     Her first thought was that the Northern Kingdom already gave me this beauty, and that was why I was not moved. But this redheaded woman seemed familiar, and she became uneasy.

     As she waved her hand to her men, she said while losing her smile.

     "Do not kill Sam Roland, but capture him, the others don't matter, we need to get back soon, before the Academy Teachers notice us."

     As they moved, they had their forms blur as the 3rd and 2nd Circle ability of the Swift Knight came into play...

     (Swift Knight... 1: [Fast Attacks] 2: [Fleet Movement] 3: [Elusive Movements]

     Seeing this, all 5 of us Knights, created a wall protecting the women behind us, while Lightning crackled on my Magical Longsword. We braced for the 4 blurry fast moving Swift Knights, who are all 3rd Circle Knights.

     The Earth Mage woman targeted me with her [De-buff Sand Curse] spell, causing bits of sand to cling to my body, slowing me down a bit.

     Freya, seeing the two groups about to collide, moved her hand past my right shoulder, and cast...

     "Stop, or burn... [Flame Wall]"

     Just as a 10 foot high and 70 foot wide wall of scorching flame sprang into life, blocking the 4 Swift Knights from advancing, the Earth Mage now believed the rumors she heard in town, so she yelled.

     "Careful, that woman behind our target, is his Summoned Monster, Freya Starling!"

     Of course, this shout startled my group as well, as all eyes looked at Freya and I looking serious, and their hearts all trembled in disbelief.

     Freya said to the shocked men.

     "She will [Disintegrate] the wall, so ready to fight!"

     And as I felt like sand was getting in all parts of my clothing, the fire wall was slowly eroded, with the spell Freya warned about, and we all rushed the 4 Knights...

     And from between us, 3 bolts of Elements shot to the group of Knights inbound, and 2 of the 3 bolts landed, and then all Knights crossed blades at once...

-

     While running Lightning Aura on my weapon was good at first, I found that to counter this 2nd Circle De-Buff, I need to run other Aura types.

     Buzz! So now both Water and Electricity crackled over my whole body, helping to neutralize this Sand Bindings trying to hamper me.

      Swoosh Bang Thud! The Swift Knight brought his Falchion (a heavier, two-handed version of the curved-bladed scimitar.) down on Nevin's Tower Shield, knocking him down with his [Fast Attacks] ability, and Nevin found himself on his back. Normally, Nevin could resist even a 2nd Circle strong blow, but a 3rd Knight is still a bit much.

     While the other three girls behind me assisted the other Knights on our side, Freya was confronting the opponent's Mage.

     But seeing Nevin hurt on the ground, my good nature snapped.

     "Damnit, you bastard! [Fast Attacks]"

     And with The King's Blade, coated with my Dual-Elements, with both hands, I brought down my Longsword in a swift overhead arc, while the other Knight held up his Falchion to block horizontally...

     Whoosh Chink Slitch! To my and his shock, my blade with swift blurry arcs of Dual energy, cleanly separated his strong blade in half, and bisected his form.

     Thud Thud! And suddenly in a spray of blood, his body fell to the sides, and with my face covered in blood, I was momentarily unable to process what happened.

     "WAKE UP!"

     Just as another Knight was about to swing his large Falchion on me, I quickly parried his blade, by tilting its swing off target, then the injured Nevin, shield-bashed the guy, making him step away from me.

     I pointed my left hand at the staggering man, and cast...

     "Hit my foe... [Electric-Water Bolt]"

     And the baseball sized orb of combined Element, shot and hit him in the chest, making him spit blood. His [Elusive Movements] could not help as he was falling backwards, so he was squarely hit by my strongest Spell for attack.

     Thud Bang! Pushing the advantage, Nevin swung his Heavy mace down on the blood spitting Swift Knight, and knocked him out cold.

     When I looked at my companions, I saw our Swift Knight Leader down, and either dead or unconscious... Our Strong Knight was on the verge of collapse, and our Dark Vanguard was bleeding from a cut to his chest.

     Freya had moved to the sides of the battle, and is forcing the Earth Mage woman back, and she does not look to be winning their spell duel. Freya is so focused on defeating her foe for me, she is even ignoring her Nephew, so I rushed to his aid...

     In wordless understanding, Nevin split with me to help the other Vanguard.

     Freya was not unaware of her Nephew, but if she aided him, this unscrupulous woman would have time to wipe out the party, and seeing me rush to save him for her, made her heart feel warm.

-

     As Frank had fallen to the side, holding a side wound, the enemy was going to do an overhead [Fast Attacks] to end him!

     "No you don't! [Fast Attacks]"

     Dang Clang! Shing! As his blade came down, my Longsword with the power of [Fast Attacks], swung in an underhand swing to block his! And as they blocked, his larger Falchion was sliced in half, making him look at his blade cut in half, in a daze.

     I still have not noticed yet, how amazing the sword given to me truly was. This weapon is as important as the King's child, I find out later.

     "Die trash! [Aura Blow]"

     Slitch! And as the two of us crossed blades, Frank delivered a fatal stab into the stomach of the attacker.

     The Western Swift Knight looked at the flaming Greatsword in his tummy, and then died...

     Looking around, I see the 6th Circle Earth Mage encased in a dome of sand, while Freya is about to open it up.

     Our Healer is now covering Rando in an icy coating, while his wounds are being healed. And the last two women, helped the two Vanguards kill the last of the Swift Knights.

     Frank said to me, as I was running to Freya.

     "Thanks..."

-

     "Erase this shell for me... [Disintegrate]"

     Fizzle! And just as the sand dome was dissolving, Freya and I saw the brown light covering the Mage, as she used [Long Range Teleport] to escape, while saying to me.

     "We will not give up on you, Sam Roland... When the North betrays you, you will run to us."

     "Shut up Whore! [Fire Dragon's Breath]"

     WHOOSH~! At that moment, Freya's red lips let out a molten-cone of scorching heat that covered the woman, and burned down the trees around her.

     Even I had to cover my face from the scalding heat. This attack is like a Land Dragon spitting fire. But sadly, it was clear the woman vanished before being hurt...

     As Freya used [Area Fire Utility] to extinguish the fires she created, to avoid a forest Fire, I noticed she had been wounded by some Earth Magic, and I came to her, and cast.

     "Wounds, vanish... [Strong-Heal Summons]"

     Seeing she was fully healed, she was a bit happy, but seeing all the blood, she frowned and asked.

     "Sam, if you are hurt, go get healed now."

     I shook my head, and cast...

     "Remove all filth... [Water Utility]"

     Seeing a film of blue water drag all the blood, dirt, and sweat from my body, Freya's heart calmed, seeing I was mostly unharmed. But she could see that I used a lot of Stamina casting and using so much Aura in a very short time.

     She looked back at the group and asked.

     "They are all fine?"

     "Yeah, two close calls, but we survived alright. They were all 3rd Circle Swift Knights, so they had the advantage, while we had numbers, and my sword seemed to cut their swords in half?"

     Freya smiled and explained.

     "For 1,000 years The King's Sword has been a priceless weapon. It was made of metal from the stars, and it is near undamageable. When Aura is used in it, no normal metal can survive its sharpness, only other magic blades may safely block The King's Sword. You are carrying the North Kingdom's treasure blade, Sam."

     I look at the dazzlingly beautiful sword in my hand, and I have complicated feelings. I said to Freya.

     "Don't worry Freya, I will never hurt anything you like, including your family, Kingdom, or your friends. I will never betray your heart."

     Then as our eyes met, we had to resist our hearts feeling a very slippery slope. But we can both feel how important we both are to each-other. She said.

     "Sam, let us clean up the battlefield, and have everyone rest for lunch before we go on."

     Then we walked back, side by side...
