27 Broken Windows

The moment Christina stepped out from the portal, she immediately collapsed on the floor.

The three following her let out voices of shock and was about to rush in and ask her what's wrong when they heard her muttering as Chris squirmed and rolled on the ground.

"Why? Whyyyy? whywhywhywhywhwywhy? WHY DID I DO THAT?!" Christina shrieked as she covered her red face. "Why did I have to be so f*cking chuuni?! Aaaah! An more importantly, Bookmaker? Why did I name myself that? Whyyyyyy meeeeee?!"

She kept squirming and rolling, much to the amused confusion of the two others who entered the room.

"What's up with her?" Justeaze asked as she chuckled.

"One word," Taylor looked at Justeaze directly at the eyes before moving her gaze back to her King. "Chuuni."

"Ah," The confusion on Justeaze and Rhyme's face vanished.

"Hmm~ What did our dear master has done this time?" Rhyme slowly approached the still squirming body.

"Acted like a mysterious super powered individual because it was cool?"

"Gah!" Strike one.

"Did something for fun but soon got swept up with the flow?"

"Gehu-!" Strike two.

"Became bored enough to finish everything and soon remembered how embarrassing she was?"

"Gyah!" Strike three.

"AAAAAAAAAAAaahhh!" Chris shrieked once more as her red face become more redder. "Kill me now!"

Watching the antics of their King, everyone couldn't help themselves but laugh.

Honestly, they perfectly understood why their King did that.

When they entered the peerage, as soon as the piece entered their bodies, they saw all the memories of their master, and their master saw theirs.

Later, Chris has explained that she modified the evil pieces to have this function instead of the forced loyalty and affection it had in place.

Her reasoning was that understanding is the foundation of trust. If they saw what she was, and she, too, saw theirs, they would form the most solid of trust.

'A dialogue of the soul' as Christina called it.

But contrary to everyone's beliefs, there were some minor effect it has to their personality.

To Christina, she would gain some of her peerage members' traits such as Rhyme's playfulness, Justeaze(Angra Mainyu)'s sadism, Ciara's theatrics, and Taylor's stubbornness.

To the peerage members, they would also gain a part of Christina's traits. Rhyme has inherited Christina's calculative nature, Justeaze inherited her laziness, Taylor received her rather distorted view on relationships, Ciara took on her hoarder instinct, and Simmie inherited her natural follower instinct.

It is also the main reason why they follow their king with all their heart.

Christina took a deep breath and stood up a few moments later.

"None of you saw anything," Chris smiled but her eyes promised a thousand years of pain.

"Saw what?" Everyone's response was too synchronized. Their face was still twitching as they tried to hold their laughter.

"Bffffft! Hahahaha!" But it was futile.

Seeing her peerage trying to control their laughter and failing miserably, Chris' eyes softened and soon she, too, joined the laughter.

"Tiiiiiiinnaaaaaaa!" But a human missile with a domed head crashed through the window and tackled the Silver Haired King into a hug.

"My precious daughter, oh how I missed you!!!" Falbium, lacking his usually apathetic nature, was rubbing his face on Chris' torso as he hugged her tightly.

"I- I missed you too father..." Christina embraced her father.

Looking that this scene, sweatdrops formed as Chris' peerage members looked on at the scene.

"Okay~, let's leave these two for now," Rhyme said as she directed the rest of the peerage. "Follow me~"

She skipped out the door with Justeaze following closely at her back.

The remaining three looked at their king. With a shooing motion, Chris gave them the order.

Thus, only the father-daughter pair was left on the room.

Extracting herself from the hug, Chris sighed.

"Do you have to destroy the windows father?"

"Ah, I actually flew in a straight line from my office in Agares the moment I felt your signature." Falbium was scratching the back of his head.

"Honestly," Chris let out an exasperated sigh.

With the snap of her finger, the broken window repaired itself, as if time was rewound.

*CRASH!*

Only to be broken again as a Crimson and Pink blur dropped in.

"Falbium, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly ru-" The crimson haired man stopped speaking as his eyes fell toward the facepalming Silver haired girl.

"Ooh~ Long time no see Tina-chan~" Miracle Levia-tan greeted as she engulfed Chris in a tight hug.

"Mmfff ffmfff!" Chris tried to speak but her face was buried in Levia-tan's leviathans. (AN: boobs to the uneducated)

"Uhh Serafall, I think you're suffocating her."

"Ah! Sorry~ Tehee~"

"Puhaa~ Thanks Zechs-nii. Anyway, why are you here with Sera-nee?"

"Well," two eyes fell towards the guy who was still scratching the back of his head.

"Hehe" Falbium let out a weak laugh.

Christina let out a long suffering sigh.

"Figures..." With a snap of her finger, the window was repaired once more.

Only to get broken again as a massive creature and a swordsman flashed into the room.

"My King, what happened?"

"Milord, is all well?"

Behemoth and Okita Souji asked their Kings as they took their battle stance.

"You know what, I'm just gonna leave that window broken." Chris deadpanned while staring at the broken glass.
