Dimension: Sekirei
As always, the women in the palace, which resembled a fairyland, enjoyed a leisurely life.
The young female knights practiced swordsmanship on the spacious training grounds, cheerful maids chased butterflies on the lawn, and the Sekirei girls, who had become sacred consorts, visited each other in their respective palaces.
On the throne, Queen Miya gently stroked her long, smooth purple hair as she handled important documents from around the world. Lost in thought, her delicate brows occasionally furrowed or relaxed, and from time to time, a faint smile appeared on her face—a smile that could make the entire world pale in comparison.
Behind the queen stood two female knights in tight uniforms, like loyal guardians. Their stunning beauty and graceful figures were complemented by their hands resting on the hilts of their swords. They exuded an air of heroic elegance, resembling two legendary Valkyries.
A beautiful and adorable maid, around seventeen or eighteen years old, attended to Miya at all times. Whenever the queen finished processing a document, the maid would move it aside and place another one in front of her.
This young maid was the latest graduate from the Knight Academy. Despite feeling extremely nervous in the presence of the most noble woman in the world, her movements were flawless—graceful and skilled.
To perform so flawlessly in such a situation, it was clear that the maid had practiced this single action countless times, to the point where it had become second nature, allowing her to execute it smoothly under any circumstances.
Both the young maid and the female knights behind her looked at the queen with deep admiration and respect. Despite being the most revered woman in the world, Miya carried herself without any airs, diligently handling important documents from around the world every day.
"Ah… today's work is done. Thank you for your hard work, little Otone!" Miya stretched her body habitually and smiled warmly at the maid beside her.
Due to the absence of the Holy Lord, the young knights and maids who had graduated and entered the palace in recent years had not yet formed contracts or received their numbers, so they still used their original names.
"Not at all, Your Majesty! It is you who have worked hard!" The maid quickly waved her hands, feeling both touched and overwhelmed by the queen's gentle, sisterly demeanor.
"Hahaha, don't be nervous. We are all the closest sisters and family, remember?" Miya playfully flicked the maid's forehead with her finger, pretending to scold her.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The maid nodded repeatedly, her heart filled with warmth.
Though she had often complained about the various courses during her time at the academy, the maid now felt that it had all been worth it.
Indeed, this was the paradise that every woman in the world dreamed of!
Though she had yet to meet the Holy Lord, being able to serve such a gentle, beautiful, and caring queen was more than enough to satisfy her…
Though the young maid's behavior might seem childish, no one laughed at her. Even the two female knights behind her only smiled kindly, with a hint of nostalgia.
They had been the same once, and even now, they still were…
"Um… Your Majesty, when will the Holy Lord return?" Under the queen's warm and comforting presence, the maid named Otone found herself no longer nervous. Though she felt extremely shy, she finally asked the question that had been on her mind for so long.
Not only her, but all the sisters who had missed the chance to meet the Holy Lord were concerned. She felt the weight of their collective hopes on her shoulders.
"Yes, it's been five years since Sora left," Miya gazed at the blue sky outside, her eyes filled with deep longing. The tenderness in her eyes seem capable of melting everything in the world, leaving the young maid and the female knights entranced…
The girls couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy toward the man who had such a perfect queen.
"Don't worry, little one. Though I'm not entirely sure, I can feel that it won't be long now. Sora will return so!" Miya gently patted the maid's head and smiled. Though her words carried no commanding tone, the girls believed her wholeheartedly.
"Yes!" The maid's cheeks flushed, and she nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Though she had learned about the man, his stories, his personality, his preferences, and everything about him during her time at the academy, the maid still felt an overwhelming sense of anticipation. She longed to meet the man who had such a perfect queen and whom she would serve for eternity.
"However, Sora is quite the troublemaker. Don't come crying to me when he teases you!" Miya teased the maid with a mischievous glint in her eye.
The maid's face, which had only been slightly flushed before, turned bright red. She knew exactly what Miya meant!
When she first graduated and entered the palace, the maid had been puzzled as to why the sacred consorts and senior sisters always referred to the Holy Lord as a "bad guy." Curious and confused, she had asked many of her sisters. By the time they finished recounting the Holy Lord's mischievous history, the maid had already fled in embarrassment!
Not only was he bad, but he was also incredibly mischievous. The Holy Lord was the worst man in the world!
Well, not just the maid, but all the girls shared this impression of the Holy Lord, whom they had yet to meet.
And once they met him and experienced his antics firsthand, this impression would only deepen!
Seeing the maid's utterly embarrassed expression, Miya, who occasionally enjoyed a bit of mischief, decided not to tease her further. Instead, she gently stroked the maid's reddened cheeks and continued:
"Don't worry. Though Sora is the worst troublemaker in the world, he is also the best man. He brings happiness and laughter to every woman by his side."
"That's why, even knowing how mischievous he is, so many sisters willingly follow him."
If Sora were here, he would surely be moved to tears by such a considerate queen!
The reason Miya was the queen was not because she was the most powerful, but because of her gentleness and her ability to embrace everyone. It was precisely because of this that Queen Miya had conquered the heart of that mischievous man and won the hearts of all the other women in the palace.
With stars in their eyes, the young maid and the female knights looked at Queen Miya with boundless admiration and longing…
Unlike Sora's various mischievous methods, Queen Miya had her own unique way of guiding and nurturing those around her!
Moreover, it's the kind that appeals to everyone, regardless of gender or age!
Buzz!!!
At that very moment, the sky trembled, and a massive black vortex suddenly appeared above the temple.
Without a hint of panic, after a brief moment of alertness and confusion, all the women in the temple revealed expressions of immense joy, transforming into streaks of light as they rushed toward the vortex.
"Finally, has he returned…"
Queen Miya, naturally, was the first to notice, her eyes filled with overwhelming excitement…
