( Yuuki's POV )
When I informed the people of the castle about the condition of the kingdom of Chrodechild, they didn't hesitate to offer help; without a doubt, these are the kind of allies anyone would want, Seig even used the exact words I thought; I should have put money on that.
Seig: You helped us before, and I couldn't possibly not help you now.
Yuuki: Everything is ready on the Astrasia side, all that remains is to decide when we will move, that is your call, Seig.
Seig: Well, I'm ready anytime, but what do you think, Liu?
Chrodechild: If I may say something; it's better if we don't rush into the enemy, now that I know my people have been preparing from the beginning, a little more preparation time won't hurt, they don't know anything about our plan after all.
Liu: I believe that's for the best, and this is your kingdom. If you say you want to wait, we should prepare accordingly; we will begin the attack at dawn.
When Chrodechild suggested that it was better to wait, she was perhaps saying it because she still needed mental preparation, but even so, that was the best strategic option.
Everyone did as instructed and prepared for tomorrow's battle. I made a short trip to Astrasia to inform Guntram how things were going to go.
Upon returning to the castle, I thought about the preparations I had to make; well, instead of preparations, those were urgent matters that were consuming me, now that my Sekireis were here, I wanted some privacy with them.
Saeko noticed that and told me she would prepare something special for me. Saeko could get wild sometimes, so I was looking forward to it, and when the sun began to set, I went back to my room.
This wasn't our castle, and this time I didn't forget to use my powers to make the room soundproof; I didn't want to scare any of the castle's inhabitants.
My hunger was growing, and when Saeko entered using my room key, I grabbed her and threw her onto my bed immediately, I got on top of her and noticed that she had a head of silver hair.
That didn't match Saeko, and looking closely I realized that the one below me was Rossweisse, I tried to think about how this had happened, but that was difficult when my hungry mind was distracted by the gorgeous woman beneath me in nothing but her underwear, pure white like her.
Rossweisse couldn't have taken my key from Saeko, and her entering my room dressed like that means she could only have come for one thing, and her next words confirmed it.
Rossweisse: P-please be kind.
The words she spoke to me, her pretty face flushed with embarrassment, convinced me that tomorrow would be the time to think; I was very hungry right now.
Yuuki: I'll try.
////////////////////
The next day, after spending the night savoring Rossweisse's body, I ended up stretched out in my bed with Rossweisse resting her entire body on top of me, I didn't go all the way with her because there was still an order that I had to respect.
As I stroked Rossweisse's head, I thought about asking if she was sure about being with me, but after everything we'd done, that would almost be an insult, the important thing is that she was now family, and what a way to become family.
Yuuki: We should get up; we need to prepare for the mission.
Rossweisse: um I need to change my clothes.
The people in the castle will be waking up soon, so Rossweisse took my sheet to cover herself and went to her room, but before she left, I took out a ring like the ones the rest of my Sekirei wore and put it on Rossweisse's finger, she gave a wide smile and then left the room, seemingly lost in thought.
Today is going to be a good day, I can feel it.
//////////////////
With all the preparations we had made, I knew the plan by heart; there were three checkpoint zones covering the main entrances to Astrasia, And the first attack we planned was going to be at the checkpoint closest to the castle; besides being unexpected, that would throw the Order's forces into confusion, and confusion was the best weapon against the order; their ideology makes them that way.
I was with Barghest, Jubei, Chrodechild and the rest of the top members of the Blades of the Night, we were hiding, just waiting for the signal to attack, and that signal took the form of a rain of arrows that fell upon the order.
The arrows fell and not many were taken out of the fight, but it was almost funny to see the forces of the order trip over themselves and fall into disorder and confusion.
Soldier: We're under attack!
General: Why was there no warning message?!
The Blades initiated the direct ground attack and everything went according to plan; we were dominating against the Order's forces.
Jubei: ... Onii-chan, could you give me some power?
What Jubei was asking for was to activate his master samurai mode, meaning a kiss was necessary. I glanced sideways at Barghest and she nodded to indicate that it was okay.
This wasn't an emergency, nor did it require Jubei to go that far, but there must have been a reason she was asking. I gave Jubei a quick kiss, and she transformed into her Master form, her eyes turned yellow and she drew her swords.
Jubei: I'll be going, Master.
We had the advantage here, but with Jubei's entry, the order had no chance; the order tried to retreat to meet up with reinforcements, but no reinforcements were coming, and they only received another hail of arrows for turning their backs on the enemy.
Barghest: Yuuki, what do you think of that girl Jubei? Do you trust her?
Yuuki: I do; the possibility that that puppeteer is spying on us through Matabei and Jubei did not escape me, both were under experimentation for who knows how long, but that doesn't matter, I'm not going to leave them to their fate, I said I was going to help them.
Barghest: Yes, that's like you, I forgot that I said anything then, I wouldn't want those two to think that I believe they are the enemy.
With Barghest joining the battle, our advance became certain and unstoppable, and upon reaching the city, we could hear the shouts of joy in the streets, the citizens were celebrating that the forces of the order were retreating to the only place safe for them, the castle.
One last assault and this will be over.
Chrodechild: Finally, we will take back our home.
