Once more, M/n sends off the harem to venture within Celine and Alucard's care, leaving M/n and Verose in the medical room alone.
"What do you plan to do with her?"

"I'm going to bait her in and use her to gain information from Lumine. Once we get all that we need from her, we'll feed her to the wolves-"

"Or give her to Foul legacy to rip apart. I'm sure that would be a wonderful show!"Now if anyone heard the conversation and saw the smiles on their face, they would tremble in fear of the two gorgeous men as they casually plan out another person's death. Once the plan was in place a knock could be heard and M/n calls them in.
"I greet the first snow of Snezhnaya-"

"Shut up and close the door."The woman jumps at the harsh tone she was met with. She steps in and closes the door as instructed, when it clicks the door immediately freezes behind her and so does the Windows, blocking her from escaping.
"Alois, correct?"

"Ye-Yes your majesty.."

"Of course you are. Or better yet a person from the modern world who mysteriously transported into a book.x

"...How-"M/n cuts her off by saying that he and Verose we're also from the modern world.
Alois sighs, she hadn't had contact with modern worlders in so long.
"So I'm not the only one? That's great-"

"No, it isn't. You're dangerous but that can be fixed. So I have an offer for you, I could give you any woman in Snezhnaya except for Heidi, she's like an older sister to me, as long as you comply with my demands."

"What are you talking about?"Alois looked like she would start sweating at any moment.
"What he means is, if you could be our spy, he'll reward you with the most beautiful woman that will love you. The person we need you to spy on is Lumine. Though we know you're in love with her, it shouldn't be too hard to butter her up and deliver the information we need. If not, your life ends here and now."Verose politely says with an innocent smile on his face.
"We can stage your death as self-defense, saying that you attempted to kill royalty and that the prophet showed up that you attempted his life. So what will it be, Alois?"

"...." She was shaking a bit, there was no foreseeable way out of this deal...There was no other choice but to take the deal with the devil in front of her. Alois nods her head, agreeing to the forced offer.
"Great! You should leave now, those in my harem don't take to women very well and might get jealous."

"Yes, your majesty..."Alois couldn't have gotten out of there fast enough. The sudden feeling of being trapped was suffocating, she had been in this world for two weeks now and never thought she'd meet others who died and was placed into the bodies of characters who were supposed to die. Like M/n and Verose, Alois dies at the beginning of the second book, and the person to kill her was unknown to her. Alois died just before she could read the chapter centered around the reveal. However, since she assumed that nothing would happen but...She failed to investigate her possible end and how to stop it, which M/n knew just from looking at her.
"I feel like this is where we truly belong, my dear friend."

"As do I..."M/n yawns after his comment agreeing with Verose, he didn't realize at the time that his body was tired after the accidental friendly fire he received from Mavis and Eraqus.
"Jeez, another thing we failed to take into account. Too much divine energy equals a shit ton of pain. That was excruciating, with the newfound knowledge that means I'll have to exercise caution."

"Indeed M/n, you should rest now. The deaconess wants you to stay here for a bit since a large portion of that energy is still within your system. I'll send Diluc to visit, you haven't had alone time with him just yet and he seems a tad bit pouty~"

"So cute! I only have two calm boys out of them all right now! I wonder how Dainsleif will be."
