In an area designated to gather all the inhabitants of the necropolis, Elena, Harlan, Nia, Armand, and Necro gathered to proceed with the reason that had brought them here.

Under everyone’s watchful eye, Elena, who had already exchanged her dress for her usual clothes; pants, and shirt, she drew a huge magic circle using a powder created from magic cores.

「Witnessing the birth of a new being created by the Master is a great happiness for this humble servant. Will I be called Necro-nii from today?」

「Based on what Miss Elena has said, this new being will consider my Lord Armand her father, so I’m afraid it won’t happen as you expect, Necro-dono」

「In that case, I will get an aunt」

While Armand smiled to hide his shame and nervousness, Harlan joined Necro’s jokes. Those two got along well enough to meet daily to play chess.

At Elena’s instruction, Nia placed the SS core she had gotten from Lynette into the center of the magic circle.

Upon his turn, Harlan placed several flasks of a faintly glowing blue liquid, something made with magic cores, magic ink.

Next up was Necro. He placed a little skull in the center of the magic circle.

Finally, a very nervous and distressed Armand placed a small bottle containing a little white liquid. That no one said a single word about it only increased the level of shame Armand was feeling.

「Then let’s proceed」

Elena cleared her throat to break the silence, then cut off the tip of one of her fingers and dropped a drop of blood onto the lines of the magic circle.

「Let the earth be your flesh, let the ink outline your veins and dye your blood, let the magic core become your heart and the bone shape your body」

As Elena recited those words, the magic circle glowed and one by one the different ingredients melted into a misshapen black mass.

「Let the magic core be your heart and the seed be your life」

The black mass throbbed and writhe on itself.

「May this be my gift to you」

Elena recited the spell to transform iron into mytril, and as if the mass were paying attention she remained motionless until Elena finished.

「I order you to take form in response to the name I give you, Bela!」

The black mass responded by inflating violently and then exploded. By the time they were all able to bring their gazes back to the center of the circle after being forced to close them by the explosion, they found a naked girl of about seven years sitting on the floor.

The girl clumsily stood up. Her skin was white as porcelain, her long hair was golden while one of her eyes was blue and the other was green. The little girl’s face bore a certain resemblance to Elena.

The girl’s eyes blinked, and she looked around. Once Armand’s figure entered her field of vision, the girl smiled and ran towards him.

「Dad!」

Armand, who was still trying to process what he saw. He was surprised when that girl jumped into his arms, and by simple instinct, Armand caught the girl.

「Dad」

The girl snuggled fondly on Armand’s chest. Hear this little girl call him dad and feeling the warmth of her small body, Armand couldn’t help but smile as he remembered Elena as a child.

Using her late mother’s name to name a homunculus, there was some bitterness in this for Elena, however, upon seeing her father’s smile somehow that discomfort disappeared from her heart.

「Bela, how are you feeling?」

Hearing someone pronounce her name, the girl blinked a few times, then observed Elena with some fascination.

「I feel good… ?」

Bela tilted her head to the side, not knowing what to call this beautiful young woman who had asked about her condition.

「My name is Elena」

「Elena-neesan」

Elena could only smile as she faintly denied. Despite her blood in Bela’s body and being she who created her, Bela felt no loyalty to her at all.

Normally the alchemist’s blood was not part of the ingredients in creating a homunculus. Bela was unlike any other homunculus, Elena had used blood magic in her creation.

By administering a drop of her blood into Bela’s creation, Elena had endowed this little girl with a greater capacity for magical power, and this would allow Bela to use sorcery that only Elena could handle. In simple words, Bela had the same blood contract as Nia.

However, Elena could not use her blood to perform this blood ritual at her pleasure. There was a limit, ten drops of blood. Elena could only use ten drops of her blood to strengthen others, if she exceeded this limit on a single drop of blood, the abnormality of her body would decrease from 10% to 8%, and this would affect her ability to magic power, her physical abilities and also it would limit in her the use of Kaname’s original spells.

「This young lady will need some clothes. My name is Harlan, it’s a pleasure, Miss Bela 」

Noticing Bela’s gaze, Harlan introduced himself.

「Harlan-ojiisan?」

Harlan couldn’t help but let out a loud laugh when he heard that.

After wrapping Bela in a blanket to cover her body, Elena created a warp towards Dur so that Harlan could buy clothes for Bela, however, since the clothes needed to fit Bela’s body perfectly, and with Bela refusing to part on Armand’s side, he was forced to accompany Harlan with Bela in his arms. For simple security, Elena sent four Izana Knights to accompany them.

Near sunset, at the agreed time, Elena created a warp again, and Armand’s group returned. Bela was still in Armand’s arms and was now wearing a beautiful white dress, which made her look like a doll.

Elena quickly noticed that her father had genuinely fond of Bela, so discreetly she asking Harlan about it and he asked her to meet him secretly in the necropolis to speak.

Upon meeting Harlan, Elena finally heard a truth that she never expected.

The story of his drunken father attacking his mother was false. In fact, Armand had fallen in love with Bela after buying her from another noble to save her from becoming a mere tool of pleasure. Elena was surprised to hear that her father was not in favor of slavery. However, he could not do much about this because it was a regulation imposed by the king under the absolute backing of the royal court.

On the subject of Elena’s mother, Armand released Bela from the collar of slavery and tried to grant her freedom, but she refused, claiming that she wanted to pay him for saving her. Bela began serving Armand under Harlan’s guidance to pay off her debt.

Since Armand was a righteous man, his wife never showed opposition or dislike towards Bela. According to Harlan, the marriage between the two had been arranged by her parents and there was never love involved.

Because of the continuous coexistence with Bela, Armand fell in love with her but being married and with children, besides existing a relationship of master and servant in between, Armand kept his feelings in secret fearing that if Bela knew about this, she would pretend to reciprocate to pay off her debt with him.

However, one-day Armand found Bela crying bitterly, and when he asks a reason for her crying, she said that she had failed on pay her debt because at some point she fell in love with him and her work could no longer be considered as a payment. These words broke the last lock on Armand’s reasoning, and carried by his heart, he also confessed his love.

Because of that dangerous game, Bela became pregnant, and even though they both tried to hide that Armand was the father, his wife found out thanks to a servant who had heard him and Bela speak.

Fear for Bela’s safety and the fruit of their love, Armand stained his own honor by making up that story about having forced Bela when he was drunk.

To protect Bela, Armand sent her to live in a small house near the palace where she gave birth to Elena, and since he had to pretend that Elena was an unpleasant mistake, Armand could never show the great affection he felt towards her.

As for the reason Armand took Elena to live in the palace with her other children, this was because of a tragedy that took shape behind Elena’s back, Bela had a very common magical illness among slaves because of the collar of slavery, there was no cure and she would die in a few years. For this reason, using as a pretext that he would use Elena as a political tool, Armand took her to live in the Lutrel palace.

With heavy tears flowing from her eyes, Elena heard that the homunculus Bela was probably causing flowing all those feelings that Armand could never show her, and this was something that Armand himself did not seem to be fully aware of.

After cleaning her tears and recovering, Elena returned to the palace to continue her plans.

With Bela back, Elena explained what she had to do with Armand’s help.

That evening at dinner, Lynette was speechless when she finally met Völundr Bela.

Lynette had already fired the mercenaries who escorted her from Dur, so Elena was able to show her the power of Bela.

As Elena had said, before the eyes of Harlan, Armand, and the others, little Bela turns a simple iron dagger into a beautiful mytril dagger, which included the butterfly-shaped engraving as a signature.

Lynette felt as if everything she knew was meaningless in this new world she had arrived at, a world called Izana.

「E-Elena-sama... w-will we really do this?」

A very nervous Lynette shuddered as she watched Elena standing next to a luxurious bed.

「This is a girls’ night out, what’s wrong with this?」

After introducing Bela, Elena took Lynette and using that pretext that only Nia could suspect, she brought Lynette to her room.

With only her shirt on, Elena walked over to Lynette and took her hands.

「I will not force you to do something you don’t want, so you can go back to your room」

「No!!… I mean, it’s what I never... so I don’t know what I should do... 」

Lynette’s face was red.

「How adorable you are Lynette, we’re just going to sleep together, nothing more」

Before Lynette could say anything, Elena sealed her lips with a kiss. Lynette felt all her strength lose as her lips were stolen and Elena’s hands stripped her clothes.

「E-Elena-sama...」

By the time Elena released Lynette’s lips, Lynette was almost naked, only with the pumpkin panties covering her important part and with a heady expression on her face.

Elena’s eyes moved across Lynette’s body and her eyes were naturally drawn to her chest. Despite being young than Elena, Lynette’s chest was generous enough that Elena’s hands could not resist stroking those white fruits.

「E-Elena-sama...」

Lynette let out a slight moan of pleasure as she felt Elena’s hands on her breasts.

Elena smiled and carried Lynette like a princess and then took her to bed.

A very embarrassed Lynette covered her face with her hands, but yielding to temptation, she opens her fingers to watch Elena take off her shirt and completely expose her white skin and her charming chest.

Lynette never imagined that seeing another naked woman could speed her heart so much, yet something like that was happening.

Elena placed on top of a very nervous Lynette.

「Tell me Lynette」

「W-what is it, Elena-sama?」

「What do you feel for me?」

Lynette’s face reddened as the answer took shape in mind.

「I-I... fell in love with Elena-sama...」

Despite the great shame caused by saying this, Lynette felt as if an immense weight disappeared from her body and an enormous warmth filled her heart, which led her to felt immense happiness.

If, however unnatural it was by the standards of society, that was the reality, she had fallen in love with another woman, with a woman much more beautiful than herself, with a woman who could alter her heart with confusion loneliness, admiration, nervousness, and passion. How had it happened? After realizing that she had fallen in love, Lynette didn’t care about the reason, she wanted only one thing, she just wanted to belong to this person, she wanted this person to continue kissing her and stirring her heart forever.

「Good girl」

Elena kissed Lynette as her hands moved over the soft Lynette’s skin, enjoying Lynette’s body heat and occasionally holding on to those two tempting fruits.

Lynette’s cheeks flushed as she felt her thighs being stroked and Elena’s tongue invaded her mouth.

Elena’s hand moved from Lynette’s butt to her pubic area and down until it reached her crotch.

Through her fingers, Elena could feel soaking on Lynette’s underwear, which causes her to start her own underwear wet.

Without apart her lips from Lynette’s lips, Elena rubbed her fingers over Lynnete’s secret area, feeling Lynette’s clit under the fabric and causing with this Lynnete’s underwear to soak more.

「Too bad, but if I continued, I could have crossed the line sooner than planned」

After murmuring that, Elena kisses Lynette’s forehead and while looking at Lynette’s adorable sleeping face, Elena starts satisfied herself. There was no way she could just close her eyes and sleep with her body filled with so much frustration.
