Chapter 128: Chapter 15: Battle Against Rank One
The classes and conversations that Lancelot had were completely blurry to him, spending most of his time absorbed inside his mind, making imaginary fights against Marianne, trying to guess her skills from what his divine eye showed him.
Yet he struggled to fight for a clear victory.
Rank one, undisputed queen.
Mistress of Blades.
[Seems like the perfect wife for you, not going to lie.]
[Sword Nerds]
Lancelot didn't answer straight away because he took the keycard from his pocket and felt a sense of inferiority for the first time in a while.
Maybe before you changed me, I might have sought her partnership to find a new way.
[See?]
However, Morgana... I am too different now.
[How?]
I have fallen too deeply in love with you to see a life without you as my number one.
Morgana didn't reply straight away, causing him to smile and step forward with a sense of awe.
Now, he stood holding the keycard to a private apartment in the upscale nobles' district. His eyes looked at the huge building and realised Marianne owned the entire thing.
Maybe I should bring some of the money from Avalon and invest in getting a cool building or somewhere for me and the girls to live, so we never have to be apart...
That is a good idea.
[Do you mean that?]
The loud echo of the thick glass doors opening sounded, with the hydraulics and crack of the latch allowing him entry stopped his reply as he stepped forward, observing the entrance it was high class...
A golden colour with cream wallpaper depicting various beautiful trees, while the floor was warm, heated and soft to walk along.
Ah, you are more important to me now than even Camelot.
[...]
It was quite strange for Morgana to be this weird, and because she was wrapped around his body without speaking, it was a little eerie...
"I want to get married." her words caused his eyes to widen as someone came from the lift wearing armour formed like a maid outfit.
The maid bowed to him, the sound of her leather crinkling along with the soft sound of her skirt sliding over her black stockings made from fine chainmail.
"Lord Du Lac? Please come this way; the lady is waiting."
"Understood, please lead the way."
Lancelot didn't want to have any useless trouble and instead followed the maid, her back turning to him to show her soft thighs bulging from the chainmail, even more than his rabbit maids back in Camelot.
This gave him an idea that would begin a revolution in his citadel.
If the Rabbit maids wear such lewd maid uniforms, will Morgana help me create metal chainmail stockings?
Because Lancelot smiled secretly while keeping a stern face to follow the maid into the lift, he didn't notice Morgana's excited grin wrapped around his body, clapping her hands together and wondering whether she should copy this woman's outfit for tonight's fun.
On the fifteenth floor of the tall apartment, they exited with Marianne waiting for Lancelot with no weapons by her waist.
Instead, she wore a low-cut dress with a shoulderless style in wine-red silk, highlighting her seductive form and showing Lancelot her stunning beauty without shame.
Narrow, upturned fox eyes emphasised her mischievous temperament, while her scars caused him to frown while walking across the hallway carpet and greet her calmly.
"Lady Marianne Le Fay welcomes you, sir Lancelot Du Lac." Marianne curtsied while pushing her voluptuous bosom toward Lancelot, who tried not to gulp while salivating inwardly over her outstanding shapes of snow-white perfection as they slowly bounced and swayed.
This woman is a dangerous fox!
Damn, Morgana better not transform into a seductive vixen, or I will surely break!
"The pleasure is all my Lady Marianne."
Lancelot slowly extended his right hand, shaking Marianne's gentle hand as he kneeled and kissed the back, as was normal etiquette when meeting a noble lady; her mouth opened as if shocked before returning to the normal smile.
But Morgana noticed her figure floating around the apartment with a devilish grin.
"Please, Lancelot. Since you beat me today in greeting, follow me to discuss the true topic; I am sure you already guessed?" Marianne stood up, hiding the surprise on her elegant face as she turned around elegantly, exposing her smooth arse in Lancelot's vision as if she was trying to seduce him, but he felt something was wrong.
Why would the daughter of Uther and sister of Arthur be so openly seducing him to show her bare buttocks...
I cannot understand! But I enjoy the sight!
Morgana... I swear this fox is trying to tempt me!
[She isn't.]
[There is more to her than we realise!]
Together, the pair walked forward; Lancelot realised he had come without any weapons and didn't feel it was prudent to fight her with the dragon-slaying sword.
He wanted to fight her with his best speed, style and beauty.
Marianne guided them to a huge back room, or maybe you couldn't even call it that, as the roof was clear, letting the sunlight through while countless wooden swords and other weapons surrounded a huge wooden arena.
Then a garden surrounded the arena with special trees from countless lands, the eastern sakura, the empire's willow... so beautiful.
"I will fight you with everything I have, Lancelot. No games, no tricks. With my beloved body and sword, I will crush you and make you my most trusted servant and toy."
Instantly, her temperament changed as Marianne started releasing an intense bloodlust aura that froze Lancelot deep in his soul, revealing to him this woman had mastered all forms of close combat and sword fighting...
Such killing intent, she will rip your limbs off easily with nothing but her flesh!
Marianna slipped off her dress to reveal a tight sports bra and shorts made of a thin, stretchy black material that didn't hide anything, as the crease and puffy mounds between her thighs were completely displayed in its beauty.
"Please, change into these and get ready to fight me." Her soft voice echoed as the same shorts but slightly larger were tossed to him, with a small cup seeming to be used to protect the male reproductive organs... but there was a problem...
"Lady Marianne... this is far too small, it might damage.."
"Don't lie!? This is the one my brother uses, and he says it has lots of room!?"
[...]
A cruel sister to reveal her brother's ordinary package to his enemy...
"So he's a hero in everything, but that department..." Lancelot whispered before removing his clothes on the spot to show her.
[Wow... are you sure you're not trying it on with his sister?]
She wants to make me her toy, so why can't I make her the same?
Of course, I'm not serious, but she believes I am this small!
It's not even big enough for Edward!
Damn.
Marianne observed his figure with narrowed fox eyes that grew wider in shock and a strange look she hadn't shown before while Lancelot easily slipped the small underwear on, shocking the half-demoness fox girl beyond belief, her lips almost saying, No way!!
"It's really hanging out... that.... ah... well... I don't have bigger...."
"Haha, it's fine."
Lancelot just grabbed the cup, tossing it randomly, but it flew towards Marianne, who slashed the thing apart with her right hand straight like a knife.
"By the way, you said if I lost, you would make me your ally and toy... Then what about if I win?"
He asked as he grabbed two swords, one small eastern type size smaller than a katana and closer to the wakizashi and placed it in his left hand while taking a thin longsword in his right; both were wooden, but the wood seemed to be specially imported from Avalon.
"When you win? I become yours and service you willingly whenever and wherever... how does that sound?" Marianne snapped out of the shocking bulge issue that Lancelot exposed as if deciding something and responded while grabbing her chosen swords:
Two western single-handed swords matched him, facing Lancelot, who shook his head a little amused before entering a defensive stance, and the game to destroy Marianne began...
"How about the same?"
"If I win, you become my everlasting ally, helping me whenever in need, and I shall help you, making a soul pledge never to betray me and let's see... How about we go on three dates?"
Before Lancelot fought Marianne seriously, he offered a condition and waited with a narrowed grey and golden eye, focusing on her graceful movements.
"Three dates!? Eh... that's... Such a cheeky man you are!"
Wow, she stuttered and acted like an introverted virgin.
[...]
"Deal!" always on m|vl|e|mp|y|r
Her voice sounded before she lunged forward, her steps like a gazelle running along the savannah away from a predator, twisting her left hand and lunging with a slash using her right, the force causing a whistle of wind in Lancelot's ears.
This woman!
While Marianne focused entirely on slashing Lancelot apart, he twisted his slim, powerful waist elegantly before stepping off the ground and moving like a swan, matching her beauty with his elegance.
He moved his elbows gracefully away as her dual strike barely scratched him before spinning on one leg and quickly ducking to dodge her kick coming towards Lancelot, twisting again and rising instantly as Marianne jumped above him with an acrobatic movement, aiming both swords to pierce his shoulders.
There...
Like a fierce eagle, his wakizashi penetrated her stomach's empty guard while his right arm flicked across, using the momentum to dodge her blades and hit her flank with a powerful kick, the force causing the lovely maiden to step back six times before resetting her guard.
"..."
"..."
One hit each, and it took all my focus. This is amazing!
[Ah... darling's sword idiot switch was tripped..]
