Chapter 529 Roman removed the visual formations and, after kicking out the bodyguard, began to watch them. At first, nothing aroused suspicion. And although the moment when Neil bursts into the chambers already seemed somewhat suspicious to the guy, in the subsequent "his" conversation with Juno, he heard something strange and completely uncharacteristic for him. "He" offered the girl three options to choose from: ****, regular sex and the cowgirl position.
{Was she on top?! This is, of course, cool, but I dreamed of fucking her doggystyle!} – Clinton sullenly frowned. He also noticed some differences in "his" behavior. Was he emboldened? Will he be able to behave so boldly with Juno now? The guy doubted.
When the beauty sat on his groin, and he deprived her of innocence with a sharp movement, Roman opened his mouth in amazement: {So I still slept with her!} – however, he was immediately embarrassed by the complete calm in his pants now, when he was watching what was happening. However, if he had hot sex all night, then this somehow explains the complete lack of erection today.
The guy continued watching.
When "Roman" tore off Juno's dress with the bra and began to crumple her lovely breasts, the observer swallowed saliva with envy.
When "Roman" put a collar on his wife, the observer's eyes widened in surprise. He doesn't recall having such items in his possession. However, after examining his ring, the young man took it out with a shocked sigh.
When "Roman" decided to have anal sex with the beauty, the guy blushed and clenched his fists: {N-no… No, fuck, it's definitely not me! I wouldn't fuck her in the ass! I always wanted to fuck her doggystyle, but definitely not in the ass!}
Roman watched the entire recording for several hours and was sure that it was definitely not him who was having fun with Juno. There were many reasons for such a conclusion: too rude, overbearing and unprincipled behavior; some undisguised hatred in every action; and, most importantly, too high skills in sex. The guy didn't even know how to do that!
The lack of erection while watching such obscene content was also frightening.
«Nei-i-i-il! Come here!» – Clinton ordered.
«Yes, sir?» – the man instantly appeared next to him and respectfully knelt down.
«I didn't sleep with Juno! It was someone with my appearance, voice and maybe even smell! He looked so much like me that my own wife didn't notice the substitution!» – almost trembling with rage, Roman said through clenched teeth.
«Are you sure about this?» – Neil asked incredulously. – «I just found out in the infocenter that you didn't leave your chambers that night.»
«Do you think I'm stupid enough not to distinguish my own fake?!» – seeing the disbelief on the man's face, Clinton was angry. – «He behaves completely differently! I couldn't be so rude to Juno! Moreover, his bedroom skills… I don't know how to do it as skillfully as he does!» – the guy blushed to the tips of his ears.
«Oh…» – Neil frowned in puzzlement.
«Tell me, for what reason did you run into my chambers last night? What did you notice that made you worry about me?» – Clinton grabbed the only clue.
«It seemed to me as if you had split in two… As if for one moment there were two of you. I do not know how else to formulate what I felt…»
«Here it is! At that moment, someone replaced me!» – jumping up, Roman yelled and immediately began to study the chambers for any evidence, but he did not find anything, as expected. – «Why the hell didn't you do anything?!»
«I judged by the reaction of Lady Juno and your behavior, and I decided that everything was all right…»
«Everything was all right?! Does it look like I'm all right?!»
«Sir, calm down…»
«I'M FUCKING CALM!» – Roman barked, trembling with indignation. Someone swapped places with him right before the wedding night and stole the innocence of his beloved Juno, which he had long dreamed of, right from under his nose! And there is no evidence of what happened, which means that the Token contract is closed! The guy wanted to destroy everything around from impotent rage.
The image of Rose popped up in his thoughts, because he specialized in raping other people's wives. However, no. He's just not at this level! But there were suspicions.
After taking a breath and calming down a little, Roman ordered: «Neil, I charge you to take up the investigation! Pay special attention to Rose! And don't forget to keep an eye on Juno! If you notice at least someone suspicious near her, then immediately report to me!»
«Yes, sir… It will be done.» – the bodyguard bowed and left.
Juno felt half dead that day. Any memory of the previous night was an unbearable pain in her heart. Any prostitute would scream in horror because of the things that her husband did to her on their wedding night.
Any girl, if she were her, would grieve over the loss of innocence for weeks, or even months, yet she wanted to give it to another, more worthy person, but definitely not the despicable Roman. However, the strong-willed and sadistic nature of Juno had its advantages: it directed all the grief into hatred for her husband! The blonde wanted to take revenge on him, at least by breaking all the bones and tearing off the testicles, but she knew perfectly well that this would turn into a disaster for her and the Stones. Only when she becomes stronger, much stronger, will she fulfill her plans without consequences. As usual, everything depends on strength! She will have to immerse herself in training. Hard work will not allow her to fall into the depths of despair.
With fire in her eyes, the lady returned to the empty order, to her house, went down to the basement and immersed herself in training. If she tries very hard, she will become one stage stronger just in time for the tournament.
…
Meanwhile, Kyon in the guise of Albert stared in horror at the screen with a dark spot: «Oh no… It has increased! My boy, I told you that stress is contraindicated for you! Why did you go to the tournament?! Why don't you take care of yourself?! My heart is bursting with grief!»
«Grandpappy, please forgive me!» – a sickly-looking Rose, who didn't look like himself, pleaded. – «I couldn't miss the tournament! I had no choice!»
«There is always a choice! Is there anything more important than your own health?!» – with pain on his wrinkled face, the old man doomedly clutched his head. – «Now, all of our preparations have gone down the drain… If you don't take spiritual purification medicine today, then the next chance may not come…»
«May not come?!» – Valentine got up in a panic.
«I'm not talking about death… The method I used to prepare you to take this medicine cannot be reused because your soul has developed immunity to it. It seems that we will have to remove the root of evil in a natural way, slowly and systematically reducing it in size…»
«But, Grandpappy, I can't stand it for so long!» – Rose seemed to burst into tears. He can't sleep from the incessant agony. Headache, nausea, convulsions… He loses his hair and teeth, and his body changes, as if he turns into a girl.
Albert thought deeply about something, then shook his head: «No, it's too risky… Due to participating in the tournament, the root of evil has increased, and the chance of failure has increased significantly. If you fail, it will grow even more! It will take months to completely eliminate it, and I don't want you to suffer for so long…»
«Please, Grandpappy! I'm sure I can handle it! Although the root has grown, I feel even better than before the tournament! Believe me, I beg you!» – Rose asked tearfully.
Kyon took out a blue ball and, noticeably hesitating, looked at Rose: «My boy, I have no right to decide for you. You must be able to make decisions on your own. You are aware of all the risks and possible consequences. I'll ask you again: are you ready to do this?»
«Yes, I am! I'm ready!» – Valentine nodded confidently.
Albert nodded and handed over the medicine. When the patient took it, he said: «In the next three days, expect a sudden attack of defecation. Be near the toilet. It is important to be completely calm and focused on the process at this moment.»
It was as if Rose had been hit on the head with a hammer. Now he understood why he hadn't defecated in the last week… Because of the so-called "preparation" to get rid of the root of evil! By the way, this makes some sense. However, if this "attack of defecation" begins at the most crucial moment, then what then?!
«In the next three days?! But tomorrow is the tournament!» – Valentine exclaimed plaintively.
«What tournament?! You can't participate in it!» – Kyon interrupted him sternly.
«But, Grandpappy, I can't give it up… I have to participate! I have to participate! I have to become the empress' junior disciple for Elsa's sake! I have to live up to my family's name! Besides, my dear Master Yan is coming from Saturn… Please tell me, is there any way to speed up the process? To take a laxative, for example…»
«This is a filigree process! Any unnatural beginning of it will entail an inevitable failure! Rose, give up the tournament, please!» – the "caring" Kyon began to persuade him.
The communication between the old man and the unhealthy half-bald blonde did not last long. Obviously, Valentine made the decision to participate despite all the risks. He had no choice.
Kyon arranged everything in such a way that in case of a failure, which is sure to happen, all responsibility fell on Rose, and he would not dare to blame Albert for his failures.
Leaving the territory of the Valentines, Lovr mentally rubbed his palms: {The harvest of darkness this year promises to be colossal! However, he still has room to grow.}
…
It's been 4 days since the succubus invasion.
One of the most significant days of the year for Rosarrio has come: the tournament of the best, where the students who entered the top 64 at the tournament in the forests of Regan will fight each other, and eight of them will be awarded the title of "junior disciple of the empress".
The gigantic arena, capable of accommodating more than half a million spectators, was packed with people. Despite martial law, citizens from all over the empire willingly flocked to Dantes – the most protected city in Rosarrio, to watch the grandiose fights of the best representatives of the younger generation.
The lower seats of the stands were occupied by the most influential persons of the empire: kings, princes and princesses of the seven kingdoms, patriarchs and elders of the first thirty families of Dantes, as well as representatives of other empires and sects.
There were the Stones and the Grands, and among them – King Vladimir.
The patriarchs of the Valentines and the Clintons never showed up, which caused many questions, but a famous guest from Saturn arrived - grandmaster Yan, an old man who became Rose's teacher in the distant past (he was paid a lot of money for mentoring).
Representatives of the Dance and Virgo sects, by order from above, activated visual portals in advance, through which two amazingly beautiful girls watched what was happening. They were expecting to see some person they knew.
Empress Lanatelle did not grace the event with her presence. At least that's what everyone thought.
Meanwhile, the third signal sounded, marking the start of the tournament.
An imperial representative entered the arena, the surface of which was covered with solid gray rock, greeted all the spectators and gave an introductory speech, after which he explained the rules. In short:
It is forbidden to kill and intentionally maim, as well as to use formations. The participant has every right to surrender, however, such a decision must be intuitively justified. Participants fight one-on-one and, in case of victory, move up the tournament bracket, and in case of defeat, they are eliminated.
6 rounds are expected, during which the finalist will be revealed from 64 participants.
It is reasonable to assume that this format of the tournament is unfair, because a very strong participant can be eliminated in the first round if he meets someone stronger. However, many people are aware that this is taken into account when creating a grid.
At the end of the explanation of the rules, a screen with the bracket formed high in the sky.
Rose Valentine, having discovered that he would not meet anyone strong in the first three fights, sighed with relief: nothing would prevent him from becoming a junior disciple of the empress!
Roman Clinton snorted thoughtfully: in the quarterfinals he will face Juno if she defeats all her opponents, and in the semifinals he will face Elsa.
Kyon raised an eyebrow in amazement: he immediately noticed someone's hidden plan. The bracket was created in such a way that the top 8 would definitely include Juno, Elsa, Roman, Rose, twin sisters and, apparently, him.
Lovr suspected something was wrong. There was something he didn't like about everything that was happening.
Suddenly, the imperial representative spread his arms out to the sides and solemnly announced: «Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, the participants who took the first eight places will become junior students of the empress. Recently, I received a decree from her majesty stating the following: "The participant who takes the first position will be awarded the title of senior disciple of the empress!"»
There was a deathly silence. The audience opened their mouths in amazement.

Now he understood why he hadn't defecated in the last week Because of the so-called "preparation" to get rid of the root of evil! By the way, this makes some sense. However, if this "attack of defecation" begins at the most crucial moment, then what then?!In the next three days?! But tomorrow is the tournament! Valentine exclaimed plaintively.What tournament?! You can't participate in it! Kyon interrupted him sternly.But, Grandpappy, I can't give it up I have to participate! I have to participate! I have to become the empress' junior disciple for Elsa's sake! I have to live up to my family's name! Besides, my dear Master Yan is coming from Saturn Please tell me, is there any way to speed up the process? To take a laxative, for exampleThis is a filigree process! Any unnatural beginning of it will entail an inevitable failure! Rose, give up the tournament, please! the "caring" Kyon began to persuade him.The communication between the old man and the unhealthy half-bald blonde did not last long. Obviously, Valentine made the decision to participate despite all the risks. He had no choice.Kyon arranged everything in such a way that in case of a failure, which is sure to happen, all responsibility fell on Rose, and he would not dare to blame Albert for his failures.Leaving the territory of the Valentines, Lovr mentally rubbed his palms: {The harvest of darkness this year promises to be colossal! However, he still has room to grow.}It's been 4 days since the succubus invasion.One of the most significant days of the year for Rosarrio has come: the tournament of the best, where the students who entered the top 64 at the tournament in the forests of Regan will fight each other, and eight of them will be awarded the title of "junior disciple of the empress".The gigantic arena, capable of accommodating more than half a million spectators, was packed with people. Despite martial law, citizens from all over the empire willingly flocked to Dantes the most protected city in Rosarrio, to watch the grandiose fights of the best representatives of the younger generation.The lower seats of the stands were occupied by the most influential persons of the empire: kings, princes and princesses of the seven kingdoms, patriarchs and elders of the first thirty families of Dantes, as well as representatives of other empires and sects.There were the Stones and the Grands, and among them King Vladimir.The patriarchs of the Valentines and the Clintons never showed up, which caused many questions, but a famous guest from Saturn arrived - grandmaster Yan, an old man who became Rose's teacher in the distant past he was paid a lot of money for mentoring.Representatives of the Dance and Virgo sects, by order from above, activated visual portals in advance, through which two amazingly beautiful girls watched what was happening. They were expecting to see some person they knew.Empress Lanatelle did not grace the event with her presence. At least that's what everyone thought.Meanwhile, the third signal sounded, marking the start of the tournament.An imperial representative entered the arena, the surface of which was covered with solid gray rock, greeted all the spectators and gave an introductory speech, after which he explained the rules. In short:It is forbidden to kill and intentionally maim, as well as to use formations. The participant has every right to surrender, however, such a decision must be intuitively justified. Participants fight one-on-one and, in case of victory, move up the tournament bracket, and in case of defeat, they are eliminated.6 rounds are expected, during which the finalist will be revealed from 64 participants.It is reasonable to assume that this format of the tournament is unfair, because a very strong participant can be eliminated in the first round if he meets someone stronger. However, many people are aware that this is taken into account when creating a grid.At the end of the explanation of the rules, a screen with the bracket formed high in the sky.Rose Valentine, having discovered that he would not meet anyone strong in the first three fights, sighed with relief: nothing would prevent him from becoming a junior disciple of the empress!Roman Clinton snorted thoughtfully: in the quarterfinals he will face Juno if she defeats all her opponents, and in the semifinals he will face Elsa.Kyon raised an eyebrow in amazement: he immediately noticed someone's hidden plan. The bracket was created in such a way that the top 8 would definitely include Juno, Elsa, Roman, Rose, twin sisters and, apparently, him.Lovr suspected something was wrong. There was something he didn't like about everything that was happening.Suddenly, the imperial representative spread his arms out to the sides and solemnly announced: Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, the participants who took the first eight places will become junior students of the empress. Recently, I received a decree from her majesty stating the following: "The participant who takes the first position will be awarded the title of senior disciple of the empress!"There was a deathly silence. The audience opened their mouths in amazement.
