The report was as follows.
A member of Raven that stood guard at the entrance found a beautiful young lady passing through.
As a hooligan, he immediately thought the young lady was here to play around and find a man. She looked like a noble that wanted to release their stress.
So he approached her with the intention to try his luck. When he got close, he called out to the young lady but was immediately stopped by two swords crossing his neck, ready to loop it off.
Two men with their faces hidden under the hood stood at his side. They suddenly appeared from the air and threatened him.
"Don't touch the lady!"
"Keep your dirty hand away from Her Highness!"
Feeling threatened, he took a step back. This thug knew how to survive in this city, so he backed away quietly and left. The words Her Highness and the girl's blue hair were enough to identify who that person was, especially since two scary Knights were following her around.
And he reported it to Beatrice, who now controlled Raven Group and the Succubus Group in the Border City.
This happened a few minutes ago, and it also explained why the Princess wasn't in the Academy today.
"Alright, I've heard your report," I responded to Beatrice and heard a squeal of delight from the other side. "Good job, Beatrice. I will allow you to masturbate and cum once."
[Hnn! Thank you, Master!]
Hearing her reply, I cut off the connection and put the earring back into my pocket. Then I returned to the girls, finished my lunch, and left. They deserved some time together without my interference, as Karin looked like she missed Eliza, and so was my childhood friend.
As for me, I had no plan to continue taking classes after lunch. Alesia warned me no more sex in the cunt-selling room, which was probably the Counseling Room. While I had no intention to do so anymore, I still went there as someone I was searching for couldn't be detected.
Arriving in front of the Counseling Room, I pushed the door open. Inside the room was someone sleeping while sitting on the chair with her head on the table. Her long, lustrous black hair fell to the side, moving slightly with each breath.
Her chest swayed with movement, and her face looked rather peaceful with a soft smile.
"How unguarded."
There was Emilia, who seemed so oblivious to someone entering the room. Just because she was a teacher in the Royal Academy didn't mean she could be this careless.
I gently closed the door and approached her. Sitting on the desk, I slowly caressed her hair, trying not to wake her up.
"Hnn."
Even so, it seemed like she could still feel my touch. A soft moan escaped her lips as her smile widened.
"Arthur~ I want it…"
My hand stopped when I heard that. What was she dreaming? No, I knew what she was dreaming as her hand slowly crept to that area, which was already moist, but I just didn't want to accept that Emilia was this perverted.
'But that's already too late, eh? I know she's a big pervert who can't stop masturbating even for a day.'
And that was why she was perfect. Closer to her face, I could hear her soft breath. It was calm and collected. Her bright red lips invited me to plan a passionate kiss.
"Cough!"
At that time, a loud cough rang in the room, and I smirked, turning around to see who secretly entered.
"I believe I said that there would be no more sexual activities in this room?"
A beautiful elf stood there with her arms crossed under her bust, looking at me with an indifferent expression. Her tone sounded a bit angry, and her gaze narrowed slightly.
"Excuse me." I raised my eyebrows and jumped off the desk. "But I am not doing any sexual activity. I just appreciate teacher Emilia's sleeping face."
The headmistress frowned at my answer and sighed.
"What about what you tried to do earlier? I believe you were just about to kiss her?"
"That was just a show of affection," I replied with a calm tone. My lips rose into a smile. "There is nothing sexual about love at all. We gain no Sins from kissing our lover, as love is what Goddess Teri wants to spread."
"… You are the only one who dares to say something like that to me. Preaching and stuff. Even Juriel never preaches to me."
"It's my honor," I replied in a sarcastic tone.
Juriel was the name of the Castitas Church's Pope, who held the highest order seat. She was the Beloved Child of the Goddess, and an individual even Archbishop Sana respected.
Knowing how long the headmistress had lived, it wasn't strange that she knew the Pope personally. If not, the Pope wouldn't agree to appear in the Annual Tournament's final. An Archbishop was enough for such an event. Though if the Pope didn't appear, King Cassius wouldn't either.
"So?" Alesia snapped her fingers and put up a soundproof barrier around us using <Space Magic>. "I believe you are curious about something?"
"Curious is the right word. I also wanted to confirm something."
My tone turned serious as I narrowed my eyes dangerously.
"What are you planning, headmistress? You said that I shouldn't start a war between the church and the government. That's why I held back and was only observing that crazy Princess. But… Why did you invite a Duke from the Sin Kingdom to the final of the Annual Tournament?"
The room instantly turned silent. The atmosphere was heavier due to the bloodlust I subconsciously leaked.
Don't get me wrong. I didn't care what Alesia was planning with her Academy. Inviting the Duke from the Sin Kingdom was also fine. I could use that as a way to connect myself with the Sin Kingdom. But that was if it happened on another occasion, not this time.
What I didn't like was how Alesia contradicted herself. She wanted me to stay away from the Princess to avoid war between the church and government, as our relationship was a bit strangled due to what happened in the past, and King Cassius still had an unpaid debt to Sana and me.
Inviting someone from the Sin Kingdom as a guest at this time just made this situation complicated and could cause war between the two Kingdoms if handled poorly. The information about the Princess going to the Border City could only mean one thing.
'Carissa is trying to cross the border to have a deal with someone on the other side.'
Facing my gaze and bloodlust, Alesia could still maintain her calm, which was impressive.
"Calm down and retract this stiff aura. You misunderstand something."
Her calm voice rang in this closed room.
"I am on the neutral side. And I didn't invite Duke Blacktomb, but the person himself is here as an ambassador of peace. So the talk about him attending the tournament's final was brought up at a certain meeting, and he decided to attend as a guest. I accept it because I can show off my students to him."
She didn't seem to be lying. The moment passed in silence as I retracted my bloodlust.
"Alright." I nodded slightly. "I will believe you for now."
I wouldn't be naïve and believed her fully after all the information I collected just made Alesia more suspicious. I even thought that she collaborated with the Princess.
But from what I got right now, that didn't seem to be the case.
"As how it should be." The headmistress smiled softly. "I am on my and my students' side. I don't care whether they are from the Virtue or Sin Kingdom."
Me too, but I couldn't say that out loud with my current position. But…
"You are playing with fire, headmistress," I warned her.
"I know." She nodded. "But this needs to be done to reach my dream," she continued in a low voice.
