5 Turn 2.2: An Invitation from Kuroi-NOT TAKING THAT!
[ ~ Chapter • Start ~ ]
Rance was sitting on his throne, with Sill standing beside him, for certain reasons to become his adviser since he didn't like anybody else to act as one.
Anyways, back on the track....
"The knights should be here at any moment...." Rance said, waiting quite impatiently as he tapped on the edge of his armrest.
However, the persons he expected to come did not arrive, instead a lanky man did, which kind of irritated Rance a little as a frown was on his face.
The said lanky man had an emblem of a head of a dog and a sword beside it on a piece of cloth on his right shoulder pad, though that could mean he was a member of some organization.
He walked several steps forward on the red carpet, before kneeling down towards Rance respectfully.
"Forgive my intrusion, your majesty." He began to speak. "But, may we speak in private? Here, alone?"
Rance raised his hand and rested his head in it while he stared at the man for a few seconds.
"Fine, entertain me." Rance replied, as Sill and a few knights (that weren't assigned to the group that would follow Rance), left the throne room with a gesture from their king.
Once they were alone, the lanky man began to speak once more, this time, with a knowing smile on his face.
"My king, have you ever thought of living in paradise? You know, what our boss says as Cuntry, the empire of paradise we seek to create where all women are obliged to serve men without question, where they are all slaves and we men are always on the top! We wish for you to join us in our conquest, King Rance!" His voice joyously raised up the more he spoke his sentences, and at the end, he was grinning quite madly.
"What?" Rance stared at the man who just told him all that shit. "Let me just rephrase this, you all wanted to make an empire that has every woman shared through every man.... on second thought...."
Rance stood up from his seat, and began to walk forwards to the Kuroinu member, his Rance Frown© more apparent than ever.
"So? What do you think? You'll have the finest of whores, whether it be a young girl or a grown up woman-"
"Shut up." Rance coldly interrupted him, before he sighed with frustration beneath it. "First of all, that's fucking stupid. Second of all, sharing women is a crime. Third of all, all the most beautiful women will be mine, and I'm not into 14 year olds and below, or even very old women. Understand?"
After that, he punched the gut of the Kuroinu member hard enough to stun him.
The Kuroinu member knelt to the ground, clutching his stomach in pain, unable to breath, and believe that Rance had just rejected their invitation.
"Grrk!!! Why...?"
"Meh. You talk too damn much that I almost wanted to forget what you were saying. Guards!!!"
The doors of the audience room opened, as several women outside it rushed inside, swords out to surround the person kneeling on the ground. They probably heard what he was talking about since they were near the doors of the throne room due to their obviously furious faces.
"Take him away, and execute him outside anybody's sight, bury him alive, or anything else as punishment for treason. I don't want this room to be sullied by filthy blood." Rance said, anger showing from his tone alone as the man was taken away, trying to scream profanities before he was knocked out.
He definitely looked frustrated, though and Sill had to approach him to try comforting him.
"Master, what happened?"
"If this Cuntry were to exist, I'm going to destroy it! That thing is a foolish dream, a worthless paradise not for me and those with common sense!" He yelled, clenching his teeth together before he sighed, rubbing his head, he never was as pissed off like this before. "To those not assigned to follow me, send spies to these Kuroinu members inside Geofu, report anything suspicious to me when I return. That's an order."
These Kuroinu people are already pretty suspicious, even though he knew they were mercenaries that fight with the [Seven Shields Alliance]. Though Rance might as well begin an investigation to them when he has a chance.
"We shall do that, your majesty!" A few knights replied, before they left the room. It was the fact that they know something was off due to one Kuroinu member acting as strange as this.
When they were gone, it was the moment that the knights, around 15 of them had knelt in front of Rance who seemed to calm down even more.
"Right.... now where were we?" His smile returned the more he looked at the beautiful knights in front of him, seemingly forgetting what just happened before. "You were the ones assigned to follow me to the town of Metrii, right? Go on, rise up."
"Of course!" A chestnut-haired Knightess in white armor (more like a mix of clothing and armor) replied to him, her unsheathed sword resting upright with it's sharp tip on the ground, her hands resting on it's hilt. "I am Corneias of the noble House, Arcadia. Captain of the Snow Silver Knights of Geofu! Behind me are my strongest subordinates, and we loyally follow you, our king, until death without question!"
"Seriously? You will follow me, and my orders without question?" Rance asked, and Corneias nodded with a stoic expression, despite some of her knights below her being a little displeased, looking at him with some sort of distrust.
Don't worry about that, it will be gone soon.
That alone was good enough for him, yet Sill was worried about something.
'Uhmm.... There's that lustful look on master's face again...' Sill inwardly complained, immediately thinking of a way to make him focus on his task, as always.
"Hmm... so to test that.... how about I order you to-"
Before Rance could proceed onto sending out his orders, Sill immediately walked towards a spot a few feet in front of him with a worried face.
"Master! Please focus on our task!" Sill spoke, her arms opened up, gesturing him to stop.
"Right, right! I was just getting to that. Hmph, and step aside. A slave like you should be standing right beside me this instant!" He replied, crossing his arms and giving her a large smirk. "Anyways, my order for you is, to prepare for the upcoming trip to the town of Metrii! You're dismissed!"
"Yes, your majesty!" All of the knights replied to him respectfully, before orderly moving out.
And then, Rance looked at Sill with a small smirk on his face.
"What? You thought I was about to order them to strip and let themselves be fucked by me?" He asked Sill, and she tilted her head down in embarrassment.
That must mean she agreed to him.

"I never thought carriage rides would get boring when they're pretty slow." Rance spoke, glancing at the stage coach. "Hey! Hasten up the pace, will you! Otherwise, I'd rather run all the way to that town!"
With that order, the carriage began to speed up, along with the other ones.
"Normally, monsters would be around to intercept a carriage like this at this point." Corneias began to speak, glancing at the forest scenery behind a clear window. ".... how strange. Reports have been going around our scouts's ears that monster attacks were getting less frequent and slower."
"If that's not normal, then something's up. That's simply based on experience." Rance replied, leaning backwards to rest. "Sill, when we're near the specified town, go wake me up."

By the way, here's how Chaos, Rance's Sword, looks:
