EP.50 Heinrich’s Wedding (3) 

Heinrich’s Wedding (3) 

Just as Yuria feared, Isabella and Marie quickly found Yuno and Eliza in the palace garden and began spying on their date. 

Marie, who had reached the level where she could freely command intermediate spirits, used a wind spirit to hide their presence, so even Master-level Yuno and Eliza didn’t notice them at all. 

Isabella and Marie, arms crossed, watched the couple stroll the garden, chatting sweetly, and seethed with jealousy, barely managing to suppress their anger. 

“See, see! I told you those two were suspicious from the start!” 

“…Ugh, Eliza! You betrayed me!! Isabella, use your image save magic and record that! We need evidence so she can’t deny it.” 

“Okay!” 

Eliza glanced around a corner of the garden and then gave Yuno a deep kiss, and Yuno responded by holding her waist and kissing her back. 

“Grrr!! How could he go for Eliza and not cute little Marie?!” 

“I’ll kill you, Yuno… I’ll definitely kill you…” 

They almost forgot they were hiding and nearly rushed at Yuno, but when Yuno sensed a murderous intent and paused the kiss to look around, they quickly crouched down and suppressed their presence again to avoid suspicion. 

“Hm? Yuno? What’s wrong?” 

“It’s nothing. Maybe I imagined it. There’s no one around here anyway…” 

“Pii~ Don’t worry about it and keep kissing me~” 

Smooch, smooch 

As the two shared a deep, passionate kiss, Isabella, overcome with jealousy, canceled her image save magic and was about to cast an attack spell. At that moment, Yuno sensed a real killing intent approaching and leapt away with Eliza in his arms. 

BOOM!! 

“Kyaaah!!” 

With a loud explosion and Eliza’s scream, Marie scolded Isabella. 

“Sis!! What if you really fired? Now we’ve been found out! We were supposed to use the evidence to blackmail him into hugging Marie!” 

“It wasn’t me!” 

“Then who… huh?” 

With the explosion, dust billowed everywhere, making it impossible to see who had caused it. But feeling a fierce aura approaching the garden, Marie and Isabella hid themselves again. 

Step, step, step 

Yuno put Eliza down and tensed up as he heard footsteps approaching through the dust. 

“As expected… the continent’s youngest Master lives up to his name.” 

The source of the footsteps was Eliza’s sister Fiona. Seeing her reckless actions put her younger sister in danger, Yuno was angry. 

“Princess Fiona… what is the meaning of this?” 

“Well… I was disappointed we didn’t get to fight earlier. I wanted to see what kind of guy seduced my Eliza. Haa!” 

Without finishing her sentence, Fiona suddenly lunged and slashed at Yuno’s neck. 

But Yuno, used to such surprise attacks from Catherine, deflected her sword with his palm and countered by ramming her with his left shoulder. 

“Urgh! Damn! Not bad!” 

She managed to block, but the size difference was so great that Fiona was shaken and coughed from the impact. 

“Let’s stop here. In close combat, Your Highness can’t match me.” 

“Yeah! Sis, stop!!” 

“Hmph! You think so?” 

Eliza tried to intervene, but Fiona, already excited, ignored her. 

Fiona drew another sword from her scabbard, holding it in reverse grip and taking a unique stance. A dense killing aura surrounded her, covering the entire garden and even making Yuno wary. 

“I admit I was careless before. But now it’s different.” 

“…Come.” 

As soon as Yuno spoke, Fiona’s sword slashed his cheek. He could barely dodge by instinct alone it was that fast. 

“You dodged that? Then how about this?” 

Another swift slash came, and this time Yuno managed to block, but the other sword grazed his arm. 

Although Yuno’s skin and muscles were almost immune to blades and blunt force, a Swordmaster’s sword imbued with sword energy was a different story, and blood began to flow from his cut arm. 

“Sis! Yuno, stop!!” 

“No! Once I start, I finish.” 

“Hmph. I like that attitude… Fine! If you beat me, I’ll allow you to date my sister!” 

“I have no intention of losing… Eliza is already my woman!” 

“Hahaha. Say that after you beat me!!” 

Fiona’s twin swords, full of sword energy and killing intent, flew at Yuno at lightning speed. 

Yuno tried to counter with his fists, but Fiona was so fast that when she saw his punch coming, she immediately fired sword energy and widened the distance. 

“Damn! Such cheap tricks!!” 

“Hmph! Cheap or not, victory is all that matters! Are you going to complain if you lose your head?” 

Yuno tried to counter with his own energy, but even the slightest movement to prepare it made Fiona respond with sword energy, leaving him with no solution. 

He kept dodging her twin swords by instinct, but the damage was accumulating. 

‘Damn! If I just keep dodging, this will never end. I need to find a chance to counter…’ 

“Hahaha, is that all you’ve got? What a waste of your size! Let’s finish this!!” 

As Yuno was distracted for a moment, Fiona’s twin swords stabbed at him one aimed at his crown, the other at his heart. 

‘Now!’ 

Swiish! 

Yuno gritted his teeth and lunged straight at the incoming swords. He twisted his body to deflect Fiona’s mana-filled sword and succeeded in closing the distance to her. 

“What?!” 

With a cry of surprise, Fiona was struck in the belly by Yuno’s mana-charged punch. 

“Guuh!!” 

Her back bent as a shockwave blasted out behind her. 

She spat saliva and vomit, but Yuno didn’t stop there. 

With her body stunned, he slammed her into the ground, burying her deep so she couldn’t move. 

Yuno’s fist then shot down toward her head. 

Isabella and Marie, thinking something terrible was about to happen, turned away but Yuno’s fist stopped. 

“Stop!!” 

Eliza’s shout stopped Yuno, who realized he’d gotten too worked up. He lowered his fist and helped Fiona up. 

“Are you alright, Princess Fiona?” 

“…Do I look alright, you bastard? Damn… your punch is insanely strong. I think I cut you way more, though.” 

“Your Highness was much stronger than me. But…” 

“Yeah. How did you block my last attack? I really put my all into that one.” 

“If you’d kept up the quick attacks, you would have won. I don’t have the technique to break through them. But I was confident I could deflect a frontal attack like that.” 

Fiona recalled her final attack and gave a bitter smile. 

“Sigh… a complete defeat… Losing to someone twelve years younger… and I became a Master seven years before you…” 

“Who became a Master first doesn’t matter, does it? And for warriors, victory and defeat aren’t everything.” 

“Well… that’s true… Hehehe. Next time I won’t go easy on you. Ow, ow, ow…” 

Fiona opened her uniform and lowered her pants slightly to reveal her belly, which was now deeply bruised. 

“Ugh, this will last for days… You’re so mean, hitting a woman’s sensitive spot that hard!” 

“This is too much! Are you okay?” 

Eliza rushed over, worried, and Fiona felt quite pleased by her little sister’s kindness. 

‘Eliza… Even if she left for her lover in the Empire, she still cares most about her big sister…’ 

“Oh my… look at all this blood… Sis!! What did you do to Yuno?! If anything happens to him, I won’t forgive you!!” 

But contrary to Fiona’s expectations, Eliza clung to Yuno and started healing his wounds, leaving Fiona standing there, not even thinking to fix her open clothes. 

Soon, the commotion in the garden brought the Imperial Guard, Empress Yuria, the Crown Prince, and Rachel running. Yuno was scolded by Yuria and the Crown Prince, while Fiona was scolded by Rachel. 

The next day, as Fiona prepared to return to Leon, Rachel, Eliza, and Yuno came to see her off. 

“Rachel, Eliza, take care. If anything happens, you can always come to Leon. I’ll always welcome you.” 

“Hehe, you take care too, sis! If it looks like Father is up to something, contact me right away.” 

“Fiona, it was great seeing you again! If you need anything, come to me anytime!” 

Fiona patted Rachel and Eliza’s heads as she stepped onto the teleportation circle. 

“Yuno, if you make Eliza cry, I won’t forgive you!” 

“Haha, yes, Princess Fiona.” 

“Fiona! Call me big sister Fiona. You’re marrying Eliza, right? That makes us family, so don’t be so formal.” 

“Alright! Big sister Fiona.” 

Satisfied with Yuno’s answer, Fiona felt the magic of teleportation and returned to Leon. 

“Phew~ I’ll be busy again from today… With Rachel gone, I’ll have to be even more on guard. But this still bothers me… It doesn’t feel like just pain… Maybe I should drink another potion?” 

Fiona rubbed her belly where Yuno had punched her the night before. 

She kept feeling a tingling, subtle pleasure in her lower belly a sensation she’d never felt before. Unaware that her pussy was slowly getting wet, Fiona went to her office to get back to her backlog of work.
