Chapter 14 - Chapter 13: The Second Peerage – Power and Bonds

The Valvas estate was buzzing with energy. After years of careful preparation, Roy decided it was time to use the Summon Tickets he had saved from two years ago.

With a flick of his System Store interface, five summon tickets were activated. A dazzling light filled the hall, and one by one, legendary warriors and powerful beings appeared before him:

Astoria Pendragon Saber (Peak Satan Class)

Astoria Pendragon Lancer (Saturn Class)

Scáthach (Super Devil)

Medusa Rider (High-Class Devil)

Modred (High-Class Devil)

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki (Super Devil)

Irene Belserion (Peak of Saturn Class)

Roy bowed to them, crimson-gold eyes calm yet commanding.

"I welcome you all. You are now part of my second Evil Piece peerage. Will you serve and fight at my side?"

Every summon nodded with respect and resolve, agreeing to his terms.

The Second Evil Piece Set

Roy began assigning roles for the second peerage:

Queen – Scáthach

Bishop – Medusa Rider

Bishop – Irene Belserion

Knight – Astoria Pendragon Saber

Knight – Astoria Pendragon Lancer

Rook – Modred

Rook – Vacant

Pawn ×4 – Kaguya Ōtsutsuki

Pawn ×? – Vacant

Satisfied with the assignments, Roy introduced the second peerage to his first peerage.

Grayfia Lucifuge, Kuroka, Koneko, Lavania Reni, and others met the legendary summoned warriors.

Initial curiosity turned into mutual respect, and soon, friendships blossomed.

Mentoring and Training

Roy began delegating teaching responsibilities based on each summon's expertise:

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki noticed Kuroka and Koneko's chakra potential.

"Roy, allow me to teach them. Their chakra abilities are remarkable."Roy nodded."I agree. Train them as you see fit."

Irene Belserion observed Lavania Reni's magic talent.

"She has potential beyond her age. Allow me to teach her magic and Dragon Slayer techniques."Roy smiled."Of course. You may also teach Grayfia her Ice Dragon Slayer magic simultaneously."

Astoria Pendragon Saber, Scáthach, Astoria Pendragon Lancer, and Modred sparred with Roy to help him further refine his swordsmanship.

Medusa Rider occasionally trained with Roy, who gifted her a special System Store Glass that allowed her to see the world in new ways.

"These are the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen," Roy said softly.Medusa's cheeks flushed crimson.

Flirtation and Rivalries

The presence of Medusa, along with the other summoned warriors, immediately sparked jealousy and playful tension among Roy's first peerage:

Grayfia Lucifuge, Kuroka, Koneko, Lavania Reni, Modred, Astoria Pendragon Lancer, Astoria Pendragon Saber, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, and Irene Belserion all began subtly vying for Roy's attention.

Their actions were a mix of teasing, displays of power, or affectionate gestures, designed to make Roy focus on them.

Sometimes, this even led to light-hearted skirmishes and competitions between the girls over Roy's affections, creating laughter, blushes, and sometimes chaos in the estate.

Roy, ever composed but secretly amused, often chuckled:

"You all… really think I'll choose one over the other so easily?"

A Family of Strength and Love

In this way, Roy's first and second peerages began to integrate:

Training and sparring sharpened their combat abilities.

Mentoring allowed talented individuals to reach new heights in magic, swordsmanship, or chakra techniques.

Friendly rivalries and affectionate gestures strengthened bonds of loyalty, friendship, and love.

Roy's Crimson-Gold gaze swept over the gathered warriors and girls.

"We will grow stronger together," he whispered."And we will protect one another—always."

The Valvas estate now hosted not just a family of blood, but a peerage of legendary warriors and loved ones, each with unique abilities, unwavering loyalty, and hearts that secretly vied for the Yaksha's favor.
