So unexpectedly I secured an airship to fly to the dwarven kingdom in. After making a few special kinds of crystal orbs I was able to secure the ability to attend classes and even ask questions if need be. On top of that, I made a few for my family as well. They also acted as a point of teleport as well, which means the orbs that I have are able to act as a means of teleporting me to my house, Adel, Sophie, and all my family members.
After settling things and making sure I could come and go if needed, the morning to leave had finally arrived. I had to have Thurul stay at my estate the night prior since we would not be going by carriage. Last night both Adel and Sophie clung on to me the entire night. We did nothing but kiss but it was a very long kissing session.
"Faith, you better contact us every day!" Adel said stubbornly as she hugged me tightly. I smiled and hugged her back.
"I will. I will be back as soon as I get enough people. Luckily I can teleport back here in an instant when that happens. When I get back, I hope to see an amazing Crown Princess." I said with a smile.

"Faith…." Sophie tugged on my sleeve. I turned and smiled at her pulling her into the hug as well. I then leaned down and kissed them both on the lips.
After I broke my hug with the girls, I looked at Iena and Diablo who also stood at the side. I scratched my head and walked over to the and hugged them both and gave them a kiss on the cheek. It was more a friendship kiss, but it was also to tell them that I had not forgotten about anything. "Diablo, you and Iena will be my sword and shield while I am gone. I leave the protection of the kingdom in your hands. Also…."
I pulled the two demons close and hugged them tightly. "Diablo, take care of Iena while I am gone, and Iena, take care of Diablo. You two are with me, but I still want you two to get along as well."
"Master…." Iena blushed. I know she still loved Diablo, so using the fact that they had formed a marriage pact with me is a way to get them closer.
"Master this…." Diablo's cheeks turned red. He knew what I meant, and seeing him acting shy was kind of cute.
"I rely on you both a lot. And I wish for everyone to be happy. As I said before, I am not someone who has really come to love anyone yet. Adel and Sophie are the ones I have come to be intimate with, but that does not mean I have forgotten about you two. Diablo, Iena, you are both bound to me. In more ways than one, so I will not abandon either of you in my lifetime. And to be honest, I may one day want to start a family as well. But before any of that happens, I must grow to know more about the two of you as well, just like how I have grown to know so much about Adel and Sophie, and yet we still are only at the stage of kissing. I want all four of you to be happy. This is my wish. But at the same time, I do not want to force anything, either. What happened between the three of us was a misunderstanding on both our parts, but I will also not run away from my responsibility.
"But we need time to grow together and nurture the feelings we have and then see where it takes us in the future. Just like how Sophie and Adel kiss, I do not mind if you two nurture feelings between yourselves as well. After all…. We are all tied together, right?" It may sound weird to some. But I have come to terms with the way things are between those around me. Adel and Sophie have grown close enough to kiss, and it doesn't bother me either. I do not feel jealousy because they both truly love me as well. It might be that I am broken in terms of relationships, but to me, seeing those I care for being close also makes me smile. Of course, it would be different if it was not someone in our strange circle that we have now.
"Master!" Iena hugged me tightly and leaned close to my ear before whispering: "Thank you."
Diablo scratched his head. His ears were burning red, causing me to smile. I waved him over. Seeing this, he slowly got closer and joined in on the hug.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI said my goodbyes to my family and friends before boarding the airship. It was of a smaller size, but it still had quite a few rooms and a lot of storage. There was a full bath and even a kitchen as well. This was once an airship owned by a noble, one of which had been exterminated during the purge.
"Lass, we will be in for a long journey. I hope you don't mind this old face of mine." Thurul said as she sat on the couch in the main sitting room of the ship.
"Thurul, I have seen your old face enough not to cry anymore," I said jokingly, causing him to snort at me.
"Yes, Master has seen your ugly face enough to be immune to even the ugliest of people in the world." A voice came from behind me. I turned to see Grace standing there as if her presence was as natural as natural can be.
"Grace!? Why are you here!?" I cried out.
"Master, you did not think that you would be able to leave this servant behind, did you? Whether you told me to stay or not I had full intention of following you because you are my master and if I allow you to slack off for even a second you would become lazy. After all there is no telling when you will take over the world and need to actually do things in a proper manner. It is my job to make sure you are ready for such a schedule."
