Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword

Chapter 204 I Will Love You Forever 3

Hiro then remembered the face and voice of the father-in-law he had in his last life. Despite not being present the man kept his word. The Butcher vowed to do all he can to assist the Alabarda should they ever be in need of aid.

"When I checked where Hiroyuki Mitsurugi was, witnesses said he was last seen joining Starfall's devoted as an unofficial mercenary. While investigating I then noticed my Rhyne's thugs harassing your women. As it didn't yet constitute actual danger I let them be.

"What I found funny was their dispositions and the number of people who stood up for them. Your girls never backed down when they were harassed and the entire district protected them like some mercenary group.

"Upon investigating I then found out that a large number of families in that area were once people related to adventurers. Their commonality was that they all either lost people to goblins or were saved by your actions."

Hiro grew astonished at the information he just learned. The people of Valor city have always reached out to him when they learned of his moniker. The "goblin executioner". Everyone kept thanking him when he murdered the bastards for exp, not for their vendettas.

Who would have thought that these people would be willing enough to stand up against bullies all for his wives? The effects of one man really could not be underestimated. Dylan continued while Hiro mused about it.

"I then placed your girls under watch, and when Starfall's subs moved to strike the house, I had my wives extricate them. They had a minor scuffle, but since they were only toy and dog ranks, my girls beat the shit out of them."

The prince then placed his cup down and asked in a firm tone. "After I took them in, I placed them here and had them work as maids while announcing to the world they would be my women in the future...."

When Dylan said the last part of his statement he got hit with a surge of killing intent stronger than any he has ever seen before. Inwardly he grew frightened.

'What the fuck! How many people has this bastard killed to have such a powerful killing intent? Is this really a good idea?'

Sensing danger to their beloved the prince's four women all stood up, drew weapons, and moved to attack Hiro. Two melee fighters, and two magic users all started an all-out assault.

Before they could reach him. Aurum and Tsugumi got in between Hiro's table and blocked the close-range combatants. For the magic users, Lars and Geo held them at sword point to stop their actions.

Tense like a drawn bow, Alan and Xing started to sweat, unsure how to resolve the standoff. Both sides were borderline insane in protecting what was theirs. For the first time, an unfathomable about of Aura came out of Dylan.

"It seems you think I am a harmless kitten. I have been nothing but kind to you and you keep pulling this kind of crap on me. If even one of my wives gets nicked. I will kill you all. Let me make one thing perfectly clear. I do not wish to claim your wives, stand down or I will make you."

Amused Hiro then started to laugh as he motioned to the San-Baka and Tsugumi. When they lowered their weapons, Dylan's wives all similarly disarmed. But neither side retreated. The Butcher then bowed his head in repentance.

"I apologize Prince Dylan. I owe you a debt I can never pay. My girls are my most valuable treasures. For protecting them, my sword and my household will never turn against you or your family." Hiro then stood up and offered a handshake to the prince.

"And I personally vow to your aid no matter the situation three times. This I swear. However, I needed to know if you are worth my time. A wolf never bows to sheep. I am glad that is not the case. If you lacked the mettle to bare fangs at me giving you the throne might be the worse thing I could do."

Dylan then stood up and shook Hiro's hand as he similarly expressed his happiness at Hiro's words. He was willing to offer a lot to enlist the help of this powerful man. If he got it due to saving three women. It was a bargain of a lifetime.

"Okay, then as agreed on. I will give you and your wives a wedding and give you a supervised honeymoon in this hotel for seven days. After that, we will reconnect so I will have you start working for me."

Hiro then smiled and nodded, unable to stop himself he teased the prince one last time. "Are you not curious how I know the puppets were yours?". The royal of the Dominii empire made a deep sigh as he answered. "I was but then you had to do all that shit which made me tired."

"I saw it, all the puppets are connected to you with "Strings". I know how many you have, where they are made, who makes them, and how you have them deployed."

Dylan froze at Hiro's words. The battle puppets were one of his top-secret projects. Under the assumption that someone can see the "strings" then it is possible to find his entire operation.

Knowing seeing them was not possible made the prince questions the security of such a setup. "Thank you for that, I didn't know such a thing could be traced, I will have everything moved and the people protected.

"Thank you once again friend the implications of this are extremely high. I look forward to working with you after your honeymoon. My girls and I will stay here from tomorrow onwards. Please keep within the city."

Hiro nodded and Dylan took his girls and they all left. The butcher then noticed his women approach him. And point upstairs. Hiro excused himself and went upstairs with them. With nothing to do Tsugumi went towards the still-sleeping dragonkin with the San-Baka escorting her.

When Hiro entered the room, his three wives were fiddling with their hands unable to look at him. "What is it? What is the matter tell me?" Jade then approached him and made a pitiful face. "Husband Sorry." The others similarly all apologized.

"I cannot forgive you for something I don't even know? Why are you three apologizing?" Raylene then took Hiro's hand and placed it on her face.

"Darling, I feel we failed you. Prince Dylan's battle harem protected him and was so amazing. But we who you trusted so much, couldn't even move. If Tsugumi and the others weren't there you would have been put in danger. "

Vanessa, visibly crestfallen similarly talked in low spirits. "We made such grand claims and we left you in your time of need. We wanted you to feel our anger so we kicked you away. If we sat with you then even as shields we could have done something. Forgive us, my love."

Hiro's heart almost leaped out of his chest. The love coming from his women made life seem so beautiful. The man placed his hands on their faces and give them a deep and loving kiss.

"You three have done no wrong. We will never always see eye to eye, but that's why I need you. To show me what I fail to see. We will fight which is expected. I am not perfect and I will make mistakes or disappoint you.

"But I also know we will always make up. For I am madly in love with you girls. And being with you is more important to me than anything."
