Despite the incident, the academy made it their duty to prepare for the next semester and not create any delays whatsoever.

Tanya, Yuri, Benjamin, Erina, Rosellia, and Penelope, all received commendations for their achievements during the siege.

Benjamin was awarded the rank of knight for safely hiding Evan with him so that the royal bloodline would not have perished even if the worst were to happen.

Yuri was awarded the rank of dame for her efforts in subduing the enemy forces with her powerful light magic. With her light magic now fully known to the public, Yuri's future had become a widely discussed topic amongst n.o.bility and royalty alike. Many people were waiting for the inevitable announcement of her saintess candidacy.

As for Rosellia, she received a few things. First, she was awarded a promotion to vice-princ.i.p.al of the academy because the role had become vacant due to the ma.s.sacre. Second, she received the honour of an audience with the king. Last, the kingdom had sponsored her wedding with Tanya, pledging to pay for all costs.

Penelope was Immediately given the n.o.ble t.i.tle of Baroness even though she had no n.o.ble t.i.tle before. This was largely due to the fact that she was a powerful second ascension fighter with ties to Tanya. The king and queen agreed to give Penelope a territory on the south side of the Vermillion Duchy.

Erina was awarded the t.i.tle of Dame and was therefore officially knighted. She was indeed satisfied with these turn of events, but could not truly justify in her heart the promotion. She had only done a minimal amount of work in her opinion. Nevertheless, she accepted the t.i.tle with pride.

Because Tanya made such an overwhelming contribution to the defence of the academy and the release of the hostages, Tanya was given the t.i.tle of baroness and the guarantee of the t.i.tle of viscountess upon graduation. Her territory was to be on the east side of Penelope's, to which she was very appreciative of. Although this was not an instant pa.s.s to becoming valedictorian, it did fulfil all of the benefits of becoming one. Tanya still believed that valedictorian needed to be hers, for the sake of her pride and weakening restraint from doing lewd acts with Penelope.

As for the dead, Charles and the lost souls were given honourable burials in the capital where the king personally knelt down and gave a heartfelt apology to these lost souls, vowing to destroy the perpetrators of this horrible event.

Then the most bizarre thing to happen this year suddenly happened that day.

Charles got out of the coffin and threw a plain ring to the side.

"Thank Vitria that my ancestors left a holy artefact for me." From then on, Charles was given a Saint status.

Although the territories given were quite small, they contained fine a.s.sets and would make for a great transition into n.o.ble life.

"Tan, you are so lucky those knights didn't ransack my room… however, you are quite unlucky they ransacked yours." Penelope sighed upon gesturing towards two spectating girls sitting on temporary beds just a few metres away.

"Yes… It seems like we cannot 'do that' tonight." Tanya lied down on Penelope's bed with only her black lace underwear, very much disappointed. Tonight she was hoping to play with Penelope pa.s.sionately. The heat of the battle had made her long for more of Penelope's warmth.

CRUNCH

Yuri began snacking away at a bowl of popcorn, staring intently at Penelope and Tanya.

"Don't mind us, just do whatever you were going to do." Yuri plainly spoke.

"..." Diana had a plain expression on her face.

"Ahem… Please do what you were planning on doing… I need to watch for research purposes…" Diana coughed so horribly that the actors of the age prior had all turned over in their graves.

"Tan, I don't think I can do it with people watching… this is special, between me and you…" Penelope hugged Tanya from under the blankets, unable to show her face to her lover.

"Penny~" Tanya kisses Penelope on the nose gently, moving her hands onto Penelope's b.u.t.tcheeks.

"Ahhn~!" Penelope let out a pleasured moan as Tanya squeezed her hands and licked the former's neck all the way up to her chin.

"Yuri, look away." Diana covered Yuri's eyes with her hands, however, it was clear Yuri did not seem bothered.

"But I want to research." Yuri truly believed that nothing was wrong in watching.

"Yuri, I am trying to protect your innocence." Diana reasoned.

"Shut up, I see you ogling Tanya even more than I do! You were drooling! Yuck!" Yuri pointed to the small wet marks all over Diana's pyjamas, squealing in an innocent disgust.

"That...that… I was simply hungry. And thirsty, I have not drunk any water since the morning." Yuri instantly detected a lie from Diana's twitching eyebrow.

"Listen. Close your eyes, keep your ears from hearing any background noise, and lie down on your bed."

"You are only saying that so you have a head start." Yuri held a defiant expression, unrelenting in nature. She would not let this opportunity pa.s.s.

"Ah Ah Ah…"

"Tanya~! Drink water if you are thirst- Enngh~!"

Tanya's mouth was latching onto Penelope's right breast, making terribly lewd noises.

SHLICK

SUCK SUCK

"Tanya! I have milk too! Try mine, it will also taste good!" Yuri put one hand up like she was hoping for a teacher's attention.

"..." Diana was not courageous enough to say such words.

"Fine! If you are going to take my milk, I will have my fill too~" As soon as Tanya finished drinking, Penelope tore off Tanya's bra and latched her mouth onto Tanya's b.r.e.a.s.t.s one at a time, licking around as she drank.

"Aaahhh Ah Ah!" For the first time ever, Tanya was the one making the high pitched moans.

"COVER YOUR EARS DAMMIT!"
