Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword

Hiro eventually reached the chapel, The building looked like a catholic church.

'Hmm, from the terminologies to the architecture, the emperor seemed to introduce a lot of concepts from the Earth, otherwise, the similarities are creepy.'

The transmigrator entered the building and found about thirty people already present. The building was spacious so it didn't look crowded. A large number of pews neatly ordered actually made the inside look empty. As he entered Hiro then saw the while-hair and glittering armor of the knight who beat the crap out of him sitting near the front.

'Ugh, why is this bastard here too? From the seating order, there are three others on the pew with the bastard.'

In the row after Artorius twenty people were scattered in a disorderly manner. The arrangement clearly demonstrated a power play between the four in front and the twenty at the back. Hiro who remembered the details of Starfall understood what was happening.

'So this is how the Starfall deals with rank, despite being all loved by Rhyne, the husbands hold clear rule over the others these twenty must be the devoted ranked Subs, and I'm guessing neither the toys nor dogs are allowed to attend.'

When the people finally noticed Hiro as he got nearer, the transmigrator quickly noted that most of the devoted Subs had looks of hostility. The husbands on the other hand didn't even turn around as if the event was beneath them.

'Understandable, I'm basically a newcomer who leaped over them. if there are people here who have been wishing to gain Rhyne's affection, I wouldn't put it past them to kill me in my sleep.'

Eventually, Hiro continued to walk towards the front where Artorius and the husbands were seated, he ignored the devoted since they would hate him no matter what he did.

'Harems are harsh man, I can understand their appeal if you are Dominant but for Subs, the power dynamics of this thing must be a nightmare. I can understand why some would choose to get NTRd to a new Dom instead.'

Hiro eventually stopped and waited as he didn't know what he should do when he arrived. He looked at Artorius who had his eyes closed like he was meditating.

'This fucker, I now know you are nothing more than a trophy husband. When I become Rhyne's new husband I surpass you and beat you with a flower stem.'

Still not looking at him the white-haired knight continued to ignore Hiro despite being the closest to the man. However, the others in the pew didn't. The three people beside Artorius all stood up and walked toward the transmigrators.

The first one to approach was an extremely large man built like a mountain. He had short red hair, an impressive chin curtain beard, russet-colored skin, and a body that looked chiseled from stone. He then smacked Hiro in the arm as he introduced himself in an extremely loud void.

"Introductions are in order, I am Maximilian, Husband rank, I am a warlord who specializes in one to one thousand battles. Guess we are brothers-in-law after today! HAHAHAHA!"

"Max, anyone would think you are trying to talk to someone across the mountain."

A tall handsome man with black swept-back hair, who similarly had a well-built physique interrupted Max. In contrast to Max, who gave off an impression of a wild beast, this man looked suave like a ladies' man. The newcomer however felt stronger than Artorius and looked more mature.

"Ignore, the loud gorilla he means well, I am Gilthunder. Hunter, I specialize in tracking and assassination. Although a bit premature welcome to Starfall, let's get along."

Gilthunder reached out for a handshake as he introduced himself in a manner as smooth as silk. He gave off the feeling that he can control any conversation and still be liked by everyone. Hiro inwardly impressed took his hand as he spoke.

"Hiroyuki, Swordsman, I'm new but I won't be useless for long."

Max who heard Hiro's introduction also reached out as he roared.

"HAHAHAHA! I like what I am hearing, welcome Hiro! As Rhyne's husbands, we should get along. Call me brother-in-law from today onwards!"

"Max, seriously stop shouting, I feel like my ears are going to fall off."

A childish voice rebuked the mountain of man as he stepped forward with both his hands on his ears. The child had blond hair, stood at 142 cm, and wore a simple white tunic. He then similarly raised his hand towards Hiro.

"Vergil, Quadra mage, my specialty is area bombardment and disaster class arch magic."

Hiro who was shaking the hands of a child froze as he suddenly heard ominous words.

'I can understand Max and Gil as their physiques seem apt but did the kid just say he specialized in disaster class magic and area bombardment? What the hell?! This kid is like a portable nuke!'

Gil who found Hiro's face rapidly shifting between expressions comical couldn't help but laugh as he commented. "Haha, I also felt the same when I first met him. This pipsqueak is a nightmare to fight on the field. The battle with the crown prince will largely depend on if we can guard him or not."

"Well as husbands it is our duty to fulfill the desire and wishes of our wife. The battle in six months will be our gravest battle yet."

Artorius who finally opened his eyes interjected his opinion into the conversation naturally. He stood up and then walked towards Hiro extending a handshake.

"You already know me; I specialize in swordsmanship and leading armies. I am currently the one who serves as second in command to Starfall. We got off on the wrong foot, but we are united in wanting to make sure Lady Rhyne does not come to harm. Let's get along."

Hiro started to believe that the Ikemen bastard truly loved Rhyne. He could have done so many other things as he had the most say in Starfall yet he choose to push all that aside and simply work together. Grabbing the hand outstretched by his rival, Hiro decided to focus on the present.

"Likewise, thank you for the welcome."

Before anyone could say anything else the sound of old heavy doors opening was heard. The doors at the back of the church opened. An old man with white hair and a Fu Manchu beard strode inside like he owned the place. Tall, well built, and possessing what looked like a veneer of intellect, those would be what best described him
