Emperor's Reckoning

With the two princesses staring at each other as rivals, the young man who was spoken by those two immediately jumped to the middle to their surprise. At the appearance of this certain figure, the armies from both sides immediately tighten up as they stood with their greatest honor possible. Not daring to show any weakness nor shame, both sides tapped their weapon to the ground in unison.

This was the young man that they looked up to, the one that could make the impossible possible. From Phantera he resurrected their queen from her eternal slumber. From Luderia he dared to finish off the corrupted first prince in front of the masses and even manage not to gain any grudge from their leader.

Both of these kingdoms owed this young man that could hardly be compensated by worldly things. If one person in their kingdom didn't know this guy's feat, they made sure to let them know. His name was probably in the literature for their studies for their future generation, in the hope to plant the seed of pride within them.

However, right now, the famous hero was in a problem that every household has. Women.

Lyon immediately felt chills as he stood in the middle, at the center of their unseen combat of womanhood. "S-sto-."

"Lyon? What are you doing here?" asked Aelina with her squinted eyes.

"Lyon, tell me, what have you been doing in Luderia HMMM?!" asked Luna.

Luna's mother couldn't help but giggle at the sight of the distressed young man in the middle. She knew her daughter had feelings for him but now his own prowess with women had brought him more troubles than he needed.

(Now I can see why those goddamn weak-willed MCs escaped this kind of situations) thought Lyon as he was thinking about what to say next.

"Alright, save your households matter for later, we got a war to settle," said a woman who was walking calmly despite the presence of the two leaders.

(Golden Demoness!) thought Aelina as she furrowed her eyebrows even harder toward the fact that she was here with her 'almost beloved'.

(Big sister Karina? S-something's change about her, DON'T TELL ME!) thought Luna as she also furrowing her eyebrows.

Lyon suddenly felt more pressure than it was before. (W-what the hell?).

Aelina's father even had surprised looks in his eyes. This was one of the women that his late first son was trying to wed only to be bashed away by her.

"Big sister, I thought you are already in the war to the west?" asked Luna.

Karina perked up her eyes before answering, "Hmm? Oh, we had a little accident so I was by Undine Lake by the time the war started."

*crack

Lyon opened his eyes wide and stared at Karina who was oblivious to his intention. (W-what are you saying?! Do you want to- oh shit here it comes!).

*twitch

Pressure from both women immediately came crushing down Lyon's shoulder his feet shaken by the sheer force. This was the power when women had their jealousy contested. Even Luderia's and Nostria's leader could only close their eyes and pitied the young man's fate.

Though Aelina's mouth twitched a bit, she still could manage to ask normally, "G-golden Demoness, t-this accident of yours, h-how long did it last?"

Even if they were rivals, Luna couldn't help but look at Karina who was apparently oblivious to what the meaning her question entailed.

Lyon immediately opened his eyes, "W-wait!"

"Hmm, I guess two days and one night?" answered Karina innocently.

"Oh my, such vigor, hehe," Luna's mother, Leyna, immediately chuckled to her heart content. Even though she knew that it was just a misunderstanding, she wouldn't be the one that 's gonna explained it to them. She enjoyed this show very much.

Lyon finally broke a sweat as he knew he had no way of stopping them now. Their jealousy was sure at the peak of their strength as both might fused into one and stomped his figure like a gum.

"Karina, are you not feeling stiff?" asked Leyna who seemed to just make the situation worse than before.

"Now that you mention it, my neck is indeed kind of stiff and also my thighs, aunt Leyna," answered Karina in a heartbeat (Must be because I'm sitting cross-legged all day).

(Neck?!) thought Aelina.

(Thighs?!) thought Luna.

*crack

Lyon was in disbelief as the force alone could make him cracked the grounds he was standing (y-you're kidding right?).

"Hohoho, I see, you will get used to it later," said Leyna with a chuckle.

Karina furrowed her eyebrows as she didn't get what the aunt's meant.

*flash

"Ah?"

"Ah?"

Both the jealous ladies exclaimed at the same time.

"Oh my, Luna dear, you broke through? Congrats!" said Leyna with a clapping hand.

"A-Aelina my daughter, y-you broke through just like that?" Aelina's father was agape at the sight.

Lyon immediately felt the pressure fleeting away from him as he looked to his west and then to his east, at these beautiful women, that could topple any kingdom. (Um, what the fuck?).

A genius that he was, he still couldn't comprehend what just happened. He immediately felt like a frog inside a well. The world was vast and unknown, that he knew, but this was still out of his imagination.

"Congrats, both of you," said Lyon with a bow. Despite the absurd situation, it was still a blessing. This was probably the chance he was waiting for. In the short time they were confused, he continued, "Alright, let's march on!"

Lyon immediately left the scene followed by Karina behind him.

"H-hey wait! We are not done yet!"

Both ladies immediately signaled their horse to follow the young man before the army followed.

Anskar looked at his wife from her back, not daring to say anything. He wanted to stop the bickering but he was sure his wife would start another with him and that was the last thing he wanted. He opened his mouth as an advice was in order.

"Shut it," said Leyna without even looking at her husband.
