Shortly after calling the emergency council to a close, Vahn found himself back in his chambers with only Artoria and Mordred at his side. Even Gray had taken upon herself to step out for a moment as, while her status allowed her to be present for such things, she rarely stuck around for family matters. Even without asking, Vahn already …

Even as the battle was ongoing, Vahn had been part of an ongoing war council back at Avalon. He was seated at the head of a massive three-dimensional diorama in his official regalia, Artoria at his side and every ranking military official gathered around them. Though it wasn’t nearly as capable as CHALDEAS, the satellites produced by Da Vinci to …

Like a dam breaking, unleashing a wave of destruction, Altera swept through the crowd of automatons with unstoppable force. She was like a living tempest as, even without sweeping her sword through enemies, her movements alone were enough to tear them asunder. There was little the unfortunate magical constructs could do, much like sailors swept up in a typhoon or …

It was only after Cú Chulainn’s body began to disappear into particles of light that Scáthach finally appeared from within the void. She manifested herself right in front of her former student, a wistful look in her ruby-like eyes as she muttered, “You always were a foolish boy…” Then, just before Cú’s body disappeared, Scáthach gently ran her hand down …

Ideally, Vahn would be able to increase his strength without limit during the interval where his enemies prepared their own plans. If he really wanted to, it was possible to enter Azathoth’s, Tiamat’s, Arcueid’s, or even Aoko’s personal dimensions but, fearing he would become even more detached from the world, Vahn elected to just follow his usual schedule. Though he …

Though it had little to do with his own training, it was strangely ‘refreshing’ to see someone other than himself suffering under Scáthach’s guidance. It made Vahn feel like a senior disciple watching as his junior did their best to complete their foundation training. Unfortunately, as there were seven Scáthachs now, Vahn only caught very brief glimpses of Richard’s training, …

With little else to do, Vahn spent most of his time training, attending meetings, spending time with his children, and tending to his myriad of lovers. This was all he could really do to avoid stressing out over the fact his enemies were still skulking about in the shadows but, fortunately, even half of these things were enough to distract …

Meeting expectations, another month had gone by without any appearance from the elusive Betty. This indicated that her creator was either being extra cautious, taking measures to avoid leaving any evidence whatsoever, or, as was far more likely, they were involved with something going on behind the scenes. At this point, it was all but guaranteed that their enemies were …

As much as he would like to just lounge about all day, Vahn was often a very busy Emperor. He still needed to make his usual rounds so, while dealing with Tiamat and Alaya, he escorted Lakshmibai back to the castle. There, before parting ways, the two embraced for a considerable amount of time, Vahn’s hands wandering to Lakshmibai’s pert …

With nothing to distract him, Vahn ended up spending several hours at Lakshmibai’s side, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the forest clearing. Though they kissed and cuddled a fair amount, their time together was mainly spent feeding each other delicious morsels of food and just talking. Vahn always enjoyed moments like this as, while it was certainly enjoyable to have …
