Lunaria was in a foul mood as she contacted Erich after having previously spoken to the leader of the Yokai Ascendency. She did not know why, but she felt she could vent to the man about how pissed off she was. In fact, the first thing she said once the line of communication had been established was exactly this.

“That disloyal piece of **! I can’t believe one of my own vassals has betrayed me like this! I have half a mind to send my entire god damn navy to wipe out his pathetic little civilization!”

It was times like this that Erich was perhaps the only being in the galaxy who could calm Lunaria’s fury. In his past life she had more often than to vent to him privately about her frustrations after their relationship had gone into full effect.

And it would appear that even now, this part of her nature repeated itself. This being despite the fact that the two of them had yet to get romantically involved in this timeline. Thus, Erich forced a smile, as he tried to calm the Elven Empress’s fury.

“Lunar- Empress… I understand your fury. Suffering a betrayal is one of the worst things that can happen to someone… But you must remember that your Navy is currently guarding the Alfheim Dominion’s borders against those damned Dark Elves…

I am more than happy to take care of this little problem for you. As promised, I will destroy the Yokai Ascendency so thoroughly that the only mention of their failed race throughout galactic history that will remain will be our tales of how we brought them to ruin…”

Hearing that Erich would be enacting justice on her behalf succeeding in calming Lunaria’s fury, as she took a deep breath and settled her nerves. It was only then that she realized how unprofessional she had been towards the man in front of her, who was also one of her vassals.

“It is not often that I do this, but I am afraid I must apologize for my behavior. Mr. Jaeger, you just witnessed an unsightly side of me, and I would be forever grateful if you were to forget it….”

Erich, however, knew how Lunaria operated. Though she appreciated loyalty from her subjects, she liked men who were dominant, and not just pushovers. Thus, he was quick to assert this dominance with a smug grin on his face.

“I believe you are forgetting, Empress, that my kind have genetically engineered with perfect memories. It would be entirely impossible, without some form of outside means, for me to forget a single thing that has happened in my life. Least of all your adorable outbursts just now…”

This remark completely stunned the Alfheim Empress. In the entire history of her ancient lifespan, not a single man had ever dared to call her adorable. Not even her “husband”, a man who would not even attempt to lay a finger on her for fear of the wrath she would inflict upon him.

Least of all did she expect one of her vassals to be so disrespectful towards her position as a supreme sovereign of the galaxy, or at least one fourth of it. Yet despite Erich’s words, which could carry a death sentence, and would certainly do so if anyone else had said them. Lunaria did not take offense to them. Instead, her milky white skin flustered ever so slightly.

Perhaps if it were someone else, they would not have noticed the blush which appeared on the woman’s cheeks, and disappeared within the next moment. But Erich was well accustomed to Lunaria, and everything about her. Thus, he remained quiet, while smiling smugly, as if he had accomplished a great feat worth bragging about.

Ultimately, Lunaria corrected her composure, and lectured Erich on his incredibly informal language.

“I’m going to ignore you said that just now, Mr. Jaeger. And I would like to remind you that you and I are not friends, and therefore you should never use such casual language around me in the future. Do you understand?”

Erich, however, knew that this was Lunaria testing him, as he saw the way she looked at him from the corner of her eye, while averting her gaze. Thus, he was quick to press forward with his advances. After all, this was a private chat, which no record would exist of. Thus, he could be a bit daring with the galaxy’s most powerful woman. ʀᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛʀs ᴀᴛ ovl(ꜰ)ir(e).nt

“Oh? And here I thought you were starting to warm up to me? I am quite wounded by the fact that you would throw away my attempts to grow close to you. I honestly thought we had something special between us, but it would appear that I was mistaken.

Very well, if you wish me to act cordially, even while in private, I shall do so. As per usual, it has been an honor to serve you, my empress. But I’m afraid I can no longer talk with you, as I have a war to fight. I will let you know when your enemy’s capital lies as a pile of rubble. Until then, may fortune favor you.”

After saying this, Erich hung up. And just before he had done so, he witnessed the panicked expression on Lunaria’s face as she tried to recant her previous statement.

“Wait hold on-“

But it was too late. Erich had cut the call and sat back in his chair. Taking a deep breath as he did so. He then heard a familiar voice call out to him, with a bit of jealousy in her tone, as she spoke her thoughts aloud.

“It would appear the Elven bitch is starting to take a liking to you… Again…. Master…”

Erich looked over at Tia’s pouting expression and chuckled before mocking her for her blatant statement of envy.

“Oh Tia… You know that you will always be my number one, so why must you get so jealous?”

Tia sighed as she shook her head before expressing her reasons for disliking Lunaria and the other women in Erich’s life, or at least those reasons that did not stem from jealousy.

“I just don’t trust meat bags, Master. They are incredibly nickel, and selfish creatures. They can never love Master the way that I do! They will never be as loyal to Master as I am…”

Erich chuckled once more while he hugged the robotic figure of the artificial intelligence once more. Conveying his affection for the being, which professed its utmost loyalty to him. Meanwhile, Tia continued to pout, thinking about all the women, and plotting contingencies against them should they ever betray her Master. Something Erich knew nothing about….
