"Start from the Armament Kingdom, huh. I wonder if I should take his advice or not. Not to forget, I'm already feeling nervous!" Scarlett muttered to herself, rubbing her hand and walking in the hallway of the second floor, going towards her bedroom.
She was feeling confused about whether to wait and see what happens or attack the Kingdom of Armament in advance. Although she was someone who never really thought much into things, currently, because of her flipped personality, she was overthinking it too much.
Of course, it didn't mean the overthinking was bad. It was kind of good, since attacking the Kingdom of Armament out of nowhere sounded wrong. And if the words got out, all the image that she had built up would be ruined.
"I'm still not popular enough where people will believe whatever I say. Once this is all done, I'll make sure to replace the statues of the goddesses in the future. By the next thirty to forty years, people will only have my image as the goddess!" Scarlett thought about her plan of replacing their faiths.
As a true dragon, she was ageless. So forty or four hundred years, it didn't matter to her. As new generations will come, they would believe that Scarlett is the sole true goddess, and who knows, she might be able to change the script of history as well.
"But before that, I'll make sure to give that Feyre bitch a painful death!" she muttered to herself, clenching one hand into a tight fist.
But then, two hands slipped in from behind her and grabbed her breasts, cupping them.
"You let your guard down again!" Lunatic's voice came from behind her as she squeezed Scarlett's breasts.
Scarlett immediately pushed her back and stepped away from her. Her face was flushed red as she guarded her chest in a cute way. "I told you last time to not do those things," she said with a pout, small tears appearing in the corner of her eyes.
"My~My~, are you saying that you are ready for action directly? My tail is also ready for some action," Lunatic said in a sensual voice, her succubus tail swinging behind her playfully.
"You!" Scarlett clenched her fist.
Lunatic immediately closed her eyes, expecting Scarlett to hit her. To be honest, she did it regardless of knowing that it would annoy Scarlett. She felt happy every time she made Scarlett annoyed; it was her way of showing her love.
But then, a few seconds passed, yet she didn't get hit at all.
Lunatic slowly opened her eyes and saw Scarlett's whole cheek was red as she looked down nervously.
"Okay, but only one round!" she said and turned around. "Come, let's finish it quickly!" she said before entering the bedroom.
Lunatic froze the moment she heard those words. "What? Did I hear it correctly?" she muttered to herself in disbelief. She clenched the hand over her chest and squeezed it slightly, feeling a weird, fluttering sensation inside her heart.
She had a heart pact with Scarlett, and although she had overlooked it before, she now started feeling that something was wrong with Scarlett.
"Did something happen to her?" she thought to herself, although she couldn't really understand what.
"Still, I better seize this golden chance!" Lunatic said to herself, rubbing her palms together in a greedy way as she entered the room as well.
Scarlett was sitting at the edge of the master bed, waiting for Lunatic. Lunatic's tail just couldn't stop swinging from pure excitement. She felt like jumping on Scarlett and devouring her whole, but she held her urges back.
Closing the door, she walked towards her and gently sat beside Scarlett.
She raised her hand gently and pushed a stray bead of hair aside from Scarlett's face. Her finger then slid down slowly, touching her soft cheek and then her chin.
"Whether it was my first time seeing you or now, you are just too beautiful!" Lunatic said, her voice soft and full of adoration.
Scarlett's eyes shimmered like crystal-clear water. "Stupid, just end it quickly!" she said, squeezing her fingers into the bedsheet, her face a deep shade of red.
"Nope, I'm gonna take my sweet time!" Lunatic added with a playful smirk. She held Scarlett's palm and mixed her fingers with hers, intertwining them. She leaned close, going for a lovely, passionate kiss, but before she could—
DASH!...
The door was swung open, and Irish and Reiza entered.
Scarlett immediately backed away and started looking around the room like nothing was going on, her heart pounding in her chest.
"Shit!" Lunatic felt like banging her head against the wall. The perfect moment was ruined.
Reiza saw Lunatic and Scarlett. "Good that you two are here. Let's sleep!" she said cheerfully, completely unaware of the tension.
"Yes... Yes, I'm ready!" Scarlett said, trying to act normal, her voice a little shaky.
"Wait, not yet. How about we talk with each other a little more and get to know each other better?" Irish added. She immediately ran up and sat on the other side of Scarlett, trapping her between them.
"Okay, but what?" Scarlett questioned, feeling cornered.
"About sex," Lunatic added immediately, like she had just come up with a great idea.
"Shut up!" Both Irish and Reiza said at the same time. Reiza even slapped her fore head in disappointment.
"How can she talk about these things so openly? My cheeks get red every time I even think of it!" she thought to herself, her face flushing at the very idea.
"Maybe we can start with you. So, what have you planned for selecting who will be your first wife?" Irish asked, getting straight to the point.
"So that was her plan from the beginning? Well Scarlett would not reveal it this easily!" Lunatic thought to herself, but then something clicked in her mind. The earlier realization hit her again that there was something wrong with Scarlett.
"Umm... I couldn't think of much, so I tried to make it a simple contest of fighting. Whoever will be the last one standing will be the winner," Scarlett explained, her voice flat and devoid of emotion.
Lunatic was about to stop Scarlett from speaking, but just as she heard what Scarlett said, she stopped immediately.
"Wait a minute, wouldn't this be so favorable for me?" Lunatic thought to herself, feeling very happy. There was no doubt that she was the strongest between the three, especially because of her ultimate skill: Absolute Offense. She was one of the rare individuals who actually had an ultimate skill.
But then, Scarlett turned to Lunatic. "And ultimate skills are not allowed!" she added.
Lunatic sighed in disappointment, but she didn't lose hope immediately. Even without her ultimate skill, she was pretty powerful. "Well, it won't change the outcome. It would just take a little bit of time, that's all," Lunatic thought to herself.
"Wait, what's an ultimate skill? Are there skills beyond unique skills?" Irish asked. She had no idea about ultimate skills.
Over the next few minutes, Scarlett explained to her what ultimate skills were.
"So, when is the contest?" Reiza asked.
"I'm busy for the next two days, so it would be somewhere after that!" Scarlett answered.
"Two days, huh? Hmm... I can use that time to get a clear idea of their strengths!" Irish thought to herself. She then smiled at Scarlett and said, "If I win, you will have to go to my parents as well and tell them personally that we are getting married!" Irish said, putting her demand on the table.
"Yes, yes, but only if you win!" Scarlett said with a chuckle.
"Pftt... Keep dreaming, human!" Lunatic laughed to herself, feeling quite satisfied.
Reiza had similar thoughts as well. The outcome was mostly already fixed; the highest chances were the winner would be either Reiza or Lunatic. They both had the advantage of a physical body and mana, and on top of that, a naturally regenerating body.
But then, Scarlett stood up and said in a heavy tone, "Of course, there's a catch. If you fight between yourselves before that, then you'll be disqualified. If all three of you fight, then no one will be the first wife! nd don't come nagging at me in future" she said in a serious voice.
Everyone's expression changed immediately. Lunatic and Irish stood up right away.
"No... no, of course not. Why would we fight?" Irish said, going close to Reiza and putting an arm around her waist.
Lunatic also came beside Reiza, putting her hand on her waist. "Yes, we are basically sisters. We love each other that much already!"
For a moment, Reiza was bewildered by the sudden change in atmosphere, but she played along. "Yes... Sisters, haha..." she chuckled awkwardly.
"Yawn...." Scarlett yawned loudly. "Let's sleep then!"
All four of them went to bed. This time, they didn't even fight over sleeping beside Scarlett. Scarlett was in the middle, Reiza was at the far right corner, and on Scarlett's right side was Lunatic, and on her left side was Irish.
For a few seconds, Lunatic was in deep thought, looking at the ceiling. "Should I tell them about Scarlett?" she thought but decided to give up on it. "I'll see tomorrow. Who knows, Scarlett will get well by then," she thought to herself. She then hugged Scarlett from her side and closed her eyes.
The night went on quickly. Everyone fell into a deep sleep, and soon it was already midnight. Lunatic and Reiza had already started snoring in their sleep, although Scarlett didn't have the habit of that.
And then, Irish's eyes opened, with a wicked light in them. She lifted her head slightly and looked at the sleeping Scarlett.
"Finally deep asleep, huh," she muttered, her expression as dark as her hair.
"Hehehe... Forget about the contest, I'll make you mine today!" she said darkly. Irish gently extended her hand and touched Scarlett's forehead.
"My unique skill doesn't only shape the soul, but it also shapes the emotions. I'll make sure that you only love me! Hehehehe..." Her quiet laughter echoed in the room.
She had been waiting for this moment for quite some time. She kind of already knew that Scarlett had other women, which is why she didn't cause a ruckus the day she came here. Another reason was because there was a festival going on, and she didn't want to ruin the mood.
Her unique skill, Idol Transfiguration, could not only alter souls but its foundations as well. But there was a catch: she needed to touch or hold the person itself.
For someone like Scarlett, she needed to touch her for far longer, but right now, she could freely touch her for quite the time.
****
Her hand glowed in a dark blue color as her unique skill activated.
Swish!...
Irish's vision immediately got blurred the moment she activated it against Scarlett, like she was about to pass out.
And the very next second, she found herself standing in the middle of somewhere. There was only a dark sky above. The ground was black, and everywhere, purple fire was burning like eternal flames.
Irish looked at those purple flames with a surprised expression.
"What just happened?"
