EP.46 After Having Sex with Yuno, I Became a Master (1) 

After having sex with Eliza and enjoying a sweet afterglow, Yuno suddenly noticed Eliza’s body heating up and her losing consciousness. Without even having time to withdraw from her, he quickly channeled his mana into Eliza’s body. 

As Yuno’s mana explored Eliza’s body, he felt mana flowing out from her mana core and circulating faster and faster through her body. Yuno realized she was about to break through to the level of Master. 

“This… this is… Mom!! Tell the royal guards to secure my private palace!! I think Eliza is ascending to Master!!” 

“Ah… okay, Yuno!!” 

As soon as Yuria heard Yuno’s shout, she quickly threw on some clothes and ran to the guards protecting Yuno’s palace to deliver the message. 

The news was immediately relayed to the Imperial Guard headquarters, and Lichtenauer, shocked that his disciple had become a Master, led the knights to lock down the entire palace complex with an impenetrable defense. 

“If anything like last time happens again, I won’t forgive you. Secure every inch of the palace walls no gaps, no mistakes!” 

“Yes, sir!” 

“But how did Eliza start her body change in Prince Yuno’s palace? Did she break through after training with him since I didn’t supervise today?” 

Lichtenauer felt a bit disappointed that Eliza hadn’t reached Master under his own guidance, but he still congratulated his disciple and directed the knights’ defensive formation. 

With the entire Guard’s reserves mobilized for airtight security, Lichtenauer considered going inside to help, but when Yuria told him Yuno was already with Eliza, he had no choice but to turn back. 

“Sigh… If I let Count Lichtenauer in, rumors would spread that Yuno and Eliza were involved even before marriage… I managed to stop it for now, but… Yuno, you’d better handle this well…” 

Yuria prayed for the safety of her now-daughter-in-law Eliza and Yuno. 

Yuno, wondering if there was anything he could do for his new partner, recalled the ritual Catherine had performed for him and decided to do the same, carefully channeling mana from his manhood to Eliza’s mana core. 

As Eliza’s mana core surged violently, Yuno linked their mana, and their mana cores began to resonate. 

Eliza’s mana quickly circulated through her body, and she began to glow blue. 

“Whew… it’s working… now I just… ugh!!” 

Just as Eliza’s body change seemed to be starting successfully and Yuno was about to withdraw and stand guard, something unexpected happened to him as well. 

“W-why me? Ugh… my body…” 

Yuno’s mana core, resonating with Eliza’s, began to overflow and rampage, but it didn’t feel dangerous. Sensing this, Yuno let his body go with the natural flow of mana. 

Crack, crack… 

Unlike Eliza’s blue glow, only Yuno’s lower body glowed red as he began his second body change. His mana core swelled and contracted repeatedly, eventually ending up about 1.2 times larger than before. 

“Ugh… Damn, I didn’t realize it hurt this much when you’re conscious… At least it finished much faster than last time. But my body doesn’t seem to have changed… only my mana core got bigger? I’ll have to ask Catherine later.” 

Thinking this, Yuno circulated mana through his whole body. He could definitely feel his mana was greater and denser than before the body change. 

“Whew~ My mana core is about 1.2 times bigger. And my total mana and density increased accordingly.” 

Yuno recalled how he’d collapsed after breaking the gate during the Streve campaign, and felt that now he’d be able to handle it much more easily. 

“Well… anyway… I should congratulate Eliza when she wakes up. What should I say? Hahaha.” 

Muttering this, Yuno got dressed and stayed by Eliza’s side. By morning, Eliza’s body change was complete without issue. 

“Whew… Huh? Yuno? What happened? Why is it morning already? Can you get me some clothes?” 

“Mom~ Can you bring something for Eliza to wear?” 

“Alright.” 

At Yuria’s instruction, a maid brought a pretty dress from the Empress’s palace. Since it was a bit revealing, Eliza blushed as she put it on. 

“It’s… a little embarrassing… Yuno, do I look pretty?” 

“That’s not what’s important right now…” 

“Hmph! What could be more important than looking pretty for my husband?” 

Eliza puffed her cheeks and leaned in toward Yuno. 

Yuno gently pinched both her cheeks and told her the truth. 

“Congratulations on becoming a Master, Eliza. You were a little later than me, but… you’re now the second youngest Master in continental history.” 

clap clap clap clap 

Even as Yuno applauded, Eliza was dazed. After a long pause, she pinched her own cheeks, then threw herself into Yuno’s arms and wept. 

“Sob… I really became a Master? Waaaah, thank you Yuno… It’s all thanks to you… waaaah…” 

“It’s something to be happy about, so why are you crying, Eliza~ Congratulations~” 

Despite Yuno’s congratulations, Eliza kept crying, burying her face in his chest and shaking her head. 

“No… that’s not it… sob… now I have the freedom to marry… sob…” 

As Yuno patted her back, he finally remembered that Eliza’s sister Fiona had avoided a political marriage by becoming a Master. 

“But… doesn’t that mean Leon will be less likely to let you marry me? They wouldn’t want a national Master to marry a foreign prince.” 

At Yuno’s words, Eliza suddenly raised her head and made a bold declaration. 

“I’m not going back to my country… and I’ll openly declare I’m marrying you here. If a foreign Master wants to become a Balkan, would the Empire really object?” 

Yuno thought about it and realized her logic was sound. In fact, Eliza’s argument was already being discussed at the emergency state council meeting. 

“So, the commotion last night… was because Princess Eliza, who was staying here for her studies, reached Master. But with Prince Heinrich and Princess Rachel’s wedding coming up, she’s supposed to return home soon… What do the nobles think?” 

When the Crown Prince, presiding over the meeting, asked for opinions, voices rose from all around. 

Bang!! 

“We must not let Princess Eliza return home!!” 

“That’s right! Wasn’t she taught by Count Lichtenauer? That makes her his disciple, and being his disciple means she’s an imperial knight, right?” 

“Exactly! And I hear Princess Eliza is close to Prince Yuno. And since Prince Yuno recently opposed her returning, it’s clear they care for each other let’s marry them quickly!” 

Though the nobles usually argued fiercely, on this topic they were nearly unanimous. After all, the birth of another Master, a strategic weapon on the battlefield, was not something to take lightly. 

“But won’t the Kingdom of Leon try to get her back? And what if Princess Eliza herself wants to go?” 

“…Hmm, let’s summon Prince Yuno and Princess Eliza and hear their thoughts.” 

Eventually, a request was sent to Yuno and Eliza, who were resting and recovering in Yuno’s palace, to attend the state council. 

“Eliza, let’s go! Let’s go tell them what we think.” 

“Okay, Yuno.” 

Arm in arm, Yuno and Eliza entered the council chamber, proving their love to all the nobles, who were very pleased. 

“Ahem… Princess Eliza, first, congratulations on reaching the supreme level of Master. You are now, after Prince Yuno, the second youngest Master in continental history! Truly a great achievement.” 

clap clap clap clap 

As the nobles showered her with applause, Eliza bowed her head shyly in thanks. 

“No, it’s all thanks to Yuno, who’s beside me. I worked hard to pursue the one I love, and that’s how I reached this level.” 

At Eliza’s words, the nobles’ smiles grew even wider, and the Crown Prince, presiding over the meeting, also beamed.
