C4: In the Alliance that fought against me!

After screaming at each other for some time, the sisters finally settled down. But Alan couldn't just keep himself settled. 'The Woodland Foxes? The ones with the invincible enemies Telor had faced.'

The little sister looked at Alan, tenderly. Winry always had that kindness in her heart... And because of that, she ended up getting into trouble more often. Though she never learned anything from them.

"I think he's—" before Winry could say anything, Elijah hopped in.

"No! We still can't decide if you are to be trusted or not. You're coming with us... And you need to give us all the information you have, or be tortured to death..." the devilish big sister spoke in a fiery tone.

The boy didn't know what to do, except do what they ordered him to do. Neither could he escape from them, or survive the harsh kingdom of Argoth as a non-leveling mage; especially with no experience. The boy closed his eyes and sighed.

"So... What do you choose, the non-leveling spy of Telor. Would you choose to be tortured, or would you peacefully give us the information?" Elijah asked the boy.

Winry was silent. Her gaze was on Alan, but she couldn't do anything to help him... For, she had done such things in the past and everything had gone wrong.

The boy looked at the two sisters. He was a king before, but he is an impudent mage now. There was no way to escape this fate... All because of that little cup of wine.

'Who gave the order to kill me? And looking at these two girls... I know that the Woodland Foxes do not know about anything of the Kings' death. Last night when I went to walk in the gardens, the leaves were yellow indeed. It was autumn. Whoever it may be... My Argoth is in grave danger. I do not know who's the next king in line either...'

These were the boy's thoughts. As for the many sons he bared, he never had a real heir. All of those sons were given the many castles of Argoth to rule... But he was the only one who sat on the throne of Telor.

But once the coronation is done, the gossips would spread far across Argoth and they would be enough to know who the new king is. So, Alan did not worry about that... But there was one thing he knew.

'Non-leveling or leveling... No matter what, I am the true king of Argoth. I will kill whoever was involved in the assassination of the king... Princess Luna...' he recalled the name of the princess who poisoned him to death. 'Get ready to die... No matter what! I want my throne back!'

The sisters glanced at him cautiously. And Winry had her wand, hidden in the back of her hand... And she was casting a spell to uncover all the feelings the boy had while he was thinking with his eyes closed.

And at the top of her wand, a red orbit formed. The orbit had its many uses. And this was one of them.

Alan slowly opened his eyes.

"Took you enough time, non-leveling mage? Now, if you please... Can you tell me... If you agree to help us or not?" Elijah questioned him once more.

Alan turned to the big sister and answered her. "I will... But sadly, there aren't any passages to the castle of Telor. We have to take a different route. I might as well call it... The hard way up the mountain..."

In the tip of Winry's wand, the two tiny orbits formed, hovering around it. One was red, the one that represented his feelings... And the other was green.

"Oh... Is that so?" Elijah asked from the boy, narrowing her eyes. Then, she turned to Winry and said; "Winry, if you please?"

Hesitatingly, Winry raised the wand and two orbits circled her wooden wand. "Huh? He's telling the truth... The red, he needs revenge! And the green... What he said was the truth!" Winry jabbered, overflowing with joy.

Elijah was utterly astonished. 'How can a man who's working under the throne go against the throne? Did those bastards lose the trust of their followers! This is... Remarkable!' Elijah thought.

Elijah glanced at the boy and smiled at him, finally. It was the most wonderful smile ever... Even cuter than her sister. "Welcome to the Woodland Foxes then... Although the others would kill you..." she said with the cutest smile.

But those words did not amuse Alan. Because the meaning was... Death.

'Phew... That was a close one. Only if they knew if I was the King before...' the boy thought as he let out a sigh and looked at the sister.

And... The red orbit turned yellow. 'Eh!??' The little sister was surprised. Her gaze instantly went to her sister and thankfully, Elijah did not see this, but Alan did.

Alan's face went blank and his heart skipped a beat. He was frightened to death but tried not to be... Because the big one would be suspicious if he did.

Winry quickly set her wand down and the orbits disappeared. "Phew..." the girl sighed out of relief and lowered her head.

"Eh? Why are you relieved, you sadist!?" The big sister's gaze finally went to Winry. But Winry was quick as lightning and the problem was solved. But deep down... She knew that the king was hiding something.

"Ahem..." Alan coughed a little to save the little sister to repay her for what she had done to him. "Aren't you releasing me?"

"Eh?" The devil turned her head to him once more. No matter how many times the sister did that, no matter how much he knew what the outcome would be... That gaze just scared the fuck out of Alan.

"Ughh... Can you release me?"

"What!? Do I look like a fool? What do you take me for!? You're coming with me... In these?" The woman pulled out a couple of metal cuffs from under the bed. 'Why do they have cuffs under beds?' As any other normal human would think, this was Alan's instant reaction.

"Wow..." Alan shook his head in disappointment. And suddenly the following appeared in front of him.

[Mana: 0/40]

[Your mana has run out. Disarming the shadow cloak!]

"Eh?" The dark cloak that covered his whole body started to turn to a dark mist.

Alan looked down at his body and... He could see his sword right out in the very open.

Alan... Was... Dead. His arms and legs are tied to the four ends of the bed. His whole body bared. Two sisters surrounded him, ready to torture him. And both of them having fine bodies was a profound fact.

"Ugh...."

"PERVERT!": Elijah

"I'M GONNA LOSE MY VIRGINITY!!!": Winry

A kick landed on Alan's face and knocked him out for the third time... From the same girl and the same day.
