If the Kerias Kingdom has Ersha Einhart, then the Breille Kingdom has Ries D’Levierre. There was a big difference in their fighting capabilities and magic powers but, Ries D’Levierre is what the citizen calls the symbol of peace.
They are both strict and hold high power and authority within their respective kingdom but Ries draws the line when it comes to sense of justice.
Ries upholds justice through and through that attracted and charmed most of their kingdom’s citizen. A woman whose heart leans towards the en masse and corrupted noble’s greatest nemesis. She was greatly favored by the public and the nobles cannot make a move to her since she is under the protection of the kingdom and well renowned.
Together with Rias D’Levierre is Lala Forchure. They are childhood friends and always stay close together. Lala became friends with her through circumstances.
Rias is well aware since young that Lala, as a noble with militaristic lineage, would become a pawn in the war.
She resolved herself in saving people and at the same time, to rise in ranks to join Lala someday. She didn’t think that she will be the army’s general and will have Lala as her second in command.
And like Lala, Ries herself is extremely vulnerable to handsome men that Amadeo’s appearance alone is enough to invoke gushing hot feeling in her chest. She’s been together with a lot of men and talked to them, but that is only limited to the topic about battles and tactics not to mention, they are mostly rough and not good looking fellows.
Ries, deep down, is just a vulnerable maiden whose heart will flutter when romance is involved. She was a perfect prey for Amadeo’s honey trap but, things become more complicated than he thought it would be.
“Hahaha…Who would have thought that it would turn out like this?” Amadeo said as he struggles to free himself away from the rope bounding his limbs and torso, tied in a makeshift bed inside of Ries camp.
Lala who spotted him immediately gave away his identity as a bandit that greatly infuriated Ries and took the matter in her hand, thus, leading to this situation.
Ries herself took the initiative in patching him because the wounds in his body are real. It was caused by his stupidity earlier that he tripped in and fell somewhere inside the forest. However, he thought of using such accident to his advantage but it turned out to be his one-way ticket to hell.
“You bandit! You must know now what would happen to you. I have to wring out what you know whatever it takes!” Ries declares as she put her sword down and walks closer to the bounded Amadeo.
“Ries, hit anywhere but the face…” Lala weakly said as she stands in the doorway. Ries looks at her and shook her head lightly.
“With wounds like that, I’d rather not hit him. No, I will not strike down a man who cannot fight back.” Ries said as she sat down on a chair near Amadeo. “Now, speak you scum!” she added with fierce and angry voice.

Amadeo becomes perplexed of what to say. He absolutely can’t say that they have a plan cooking up and he absolutely can’t fail this plan as well. He wanted to avert his eyes but suddenly, an idea pops out of his mind.
“First and foremost, I am really sorry and ashamed of what I have done. It’s true that I am a bandit but I never hurt anyone before!” Amadeo said as he shed fake tears that easily moved Ries and Lala.
“We are very poor, I have a sick mother in the capital and my sister is serving a lord that abuses her in more ways you can imagine! The only one that accompanies my sick mother is my little brother! Society has become cruel and I wasn’t able to get a decent job for my mother’s medicine!” Amadeo cries of lies that he immediately spew after thinking it lines by lines. Truly a scum!
“I do not hope to be rich or anything…as long as I can procure medicine for my mother and pay our debts to that lord to free my little sister from his clutches…” Amadeo looked down while shedding more fake tears.
“I was in the forest this night because I heard that there was a herb that can ease my mother’s bad condition…then I fell somewhere and became like this…” He bit his lip looking like he is really frustrated. It was a fabricated story that won’t contradict anything Lala knows.
“Ah…you…I see…” Ries…was dumbly moved by his well-oriented lies. Her justice held better than she can imagine and her sympathy for the man in front of hers skyrocketed. She didn’t know what to say to such man who can do wrong things for his family.
Lala clenches her fist in vexation as she listened to Amadeo’s story. Her chest tightens and she looked down. “There are many things I haven’t learned yet. There are so many things I didn’t know yet. People like him are suffering from poverty while we nobles are eating with a silver spoon. We are still ignorant after all.” She thought.
“Such man with heart…How could I miss my sight to such plain suffering around me?! Is it because I am still weak? Is it because I am still inexperienced?! Ries thought as she looked at the man in front of her.
“I apologize for your circumstances. You, as one of our citizen, are not protected enough. I don’t know how I can help your situation at the moment but…after this war…I promised that…I will look for your sister and give attentive care for your mother and little brother so please, stop being a bandit!” Ries sincerely pleaded Amadeo with saddened eyes. Her words are meant to be upheld and she does it well.
“This is…going smoothly as I expected…” Amadeo said inwardly as he keeps his act together. “Really?! Will you really do that for me?! But…I am a criminal…” he said suddenly to Ries and look over to Lala.
“I know that this is my win but, I have to give them one last push to immediately seal the deal!” Amadeo thought and followed by more compassionate words. “However, I have nothing to offer in return…are you willing to do that for me?!”
Lala and Ries looked at each other and simultaneously nod. One by one, the two of them removes their armor, making a clanking a sound. Lala tightly shut the door of the room and Ries started removing his clothes…
“Eh…eh…?!” Amadeo becomes confused about the sudden development.
After Lala walked close to him together with Ries, they started caressing his body. Their sweat and scent started permeating his nostril.
“What? What are you two doing?!” Amadeo shouted as he was unable to comprehend his situation.
“I’m really sorry…this…just for this please…bear with us. Just tonight…I’m really sorry…I feel really hot inside…” Ries shy said as she fidgets. She placed her hands on her chest and “My heart won’t stop beating crazily…”
Lala holds his hand and looks passionately at him with watery eyes and reddish countenance. “I am sorry too…I feel so hot…” she said.
“This is…! For the meantime, I am stalling them like this but…! AHHHHHHHHH!” Amadeo screams hopelessly inside his mind.
