Helping Out Nobles? Max Does Whatever He Wants!!

After sending them off, Max turned around to clean up the mess he had made. No body had moved much in the past minute that him and the girls had had talked. He felt that it was probably because he had completely terrified all of them and they were waiting for Max to leave.

Max walked back and it became almost noticeably more tense as most of the mages froze, not taking their eyes off of him, clearly afraid of pissing him off. Max would've been amused if it wasnt for Caitlin ruining the mood as she kneeled over Duran and was attempting to apply first aid to him.

Max sighed and changed his course towards them, causing the other mages to hurriedly move out of the way, giving him clear access to the two nobles. Now that he had a clear view, Max could see just how this was playing out and immediately wanted to kill Duran once again.

While Catilin was attempting to perform some sort of healing magic on him, Duran was not only verbally abusing her but it seemed that he had also hitten her a couple of times, the bright red cheeks she had being proof enough. This noble was definitely a piece of work as he was already back to abusing others even after the beating he had took. The way he had defended Caitlin, he figured that Duran had actually cared about her but it seemed that he was wrong.

Stepping forward, Max slammed his foot down near Durans head, getting the attention of both Caitlin and the noble piece of scum. "Well, well, well," Max said with a slight smirk. "Being a dick again I see Duran, I see that its your favorite thing to do. Picking on women is a sign that your not a man, so I wonder what you are exactly."

Duran didnt say anything, just stared up at him with slightly scared eyes, lookong as weak as a kitten but not as cute. Max kneeled down next to his head and tapped Durans forehead lightly in the center, a light smile smile spreading over his face. "Duran, I have something to tell you, and its very simple to do. Never ever EVER mistreat a women ever again verbally or physically no matter what. Its actually pretty simple."

Caitlin looked like she wanted to defend the noble scumbag but Max held up his hand in front of her, not taking his eyes off of Duran, waiting for an answer. He didnt have to wait long as Duran quickly nodded his head, and Max patted his cheek in satisfaction. "Good answer, now I also need to check over a few things with you so all you need to do is nod or shake your head, and only talk if the answer requires you to talk. Understand?" After another nod Max smiled.

"First and foremost, I want to know about this arranged marriage, you have permission to speak. Is it something that either of you want?" Max was forming a plan in his head but was hesitant about putting it into action since he honestly was against helping out Duran and Caitlin.

"Well, its actually not something either of us want, but arranged marriages happen all the time when it comes to nobles." Caitlin replied, interrupting Duran before he could speak. "The parents marry their own kids off in pursuit of their own gains and since we dont have a choice in the matter, we can only accept and hope that our future partner isnt a complete asshole."

Though it wasn't planned, both of them turned their heads to look at Duran who had twiddling his fingers and avoiding Max's gaze. Max actually felt a bit sorry for them, or rather he felt sorry for Caitlin and only felt pity for Duran. Caitlin was a victim of circumstances and on who she was born to while Duran was simply an asshole. If Duran treated Caitlin with kindness, then Max wouldn't have cared as much, but after seeing the way he treated a female, especially the one he was supposed to be married to in the future, it irritated him to no end.

"Okay so here's what gonna happen," Max said as he sat down on the floor. "Your going to go home and tell your parents that your breaking off the engagment. If they try to say anything to you tell them that I will challenge them to a duel the day after tomorrow. If they accept then the winner decides the fate for the two of you. If they dont accept then I'll just have to go over and pay a visit to them myself."

Duran and Caitlin were now completely confused and more then a little suspicious. This boy had nearly killed Duran and had made fun of every noble here and yet he was helping them? Even after Duran had flat out insulted Max and his friends? They couldn't help but think that there was some ulteruor motive, and they were entirely correct. Max was hoping to establish dominance over some of the nobles in hopes of showing them that commoners weren't people they could push around. Of course he also wanted to get these two out of their situation but he sure wasnt going to tell them that fact.

"If they don't want to listen to you then let me know and I'll pay them a visit." Max repeated again as he stood up and dusted off the seat of his pants. "If they kick either of you out or threaten you into another marriage then you can come stay here."

"Why are you doing this?" Duran asked, finally speaking out, his voice rather hoarse. "We're nobles, the enemy of commoners. Not only that but we picked a fight with you and insulted the friends that you hold close to you. Why would you help people like us?"

Max, who had been on the verge of walking away, stopped in his tracks afted hearing his question. He didnt turn around, simply stood there as he looked up into the starry night sky. The sky here was so much different from his own world, one where he was able to fully see every star that shone in the sky.

"Why?" Max asked without looking back or takijg his eyes off the sky. "Well, its because I wanted to, thats all there is to it. I dont have a noble reason for doing things the way I do, I simply do whatever I want. My reasons may not be heroic and they may not be ideal, but I can tell you one thing." Max turned around and shot both of them with a solid look of conviction. "I forge my own destiny, I dont let others decide it for me. If you give me two options, I'll choose a third one. If my friends ar in danger and I'm told theres no way to save them then I'll find a way. This is my story and I shall chose how to walk it!!!"

Max turned away from the numerous looks of awe and shock and began to once again walk away. "Take your buddies and get off the field, you better not be here when I get back." Opening the door after reaching it, Max took one last look back before closing it behind him.

Sighing softly to himself, Max took about two

steps before being tackled by a number of soft yet rather heavy bodies. Max hit the ground rather hard, but that was easily overlooked as he realized what was on top of him. Three very feminine figures were squishing him down with hugs, and though it felt really nice, Max was very confused as to why Mereleona, Mimosa, and Tilith where on top of him.

"Hey," Max said, spitting out vermilion colored hair from his mouth. "What exactly are the three of you doing? If your trying to suffocate me, there are other ways to go about doing it." Max attempted to move one of his hands and ended up grabbing something rather soft yet firm. He gave it a testy squeeze wondering what he had grabbed, until Mimosa practically screamed out and pushed herself off of his arm. Seeing her wrap an arm over her breasts, Max had a pretty good idea what he had grabbed, but instead of being embarassed he simply laughed.

"I guess thats one way yo get you off of me," Max said with a chuckle, but he was interrupted from saying anything else by a perfectly aimed kick to his exposed ankle. Though it wasnt his stomach, which was currently being blocked by Mereleona, it still hurt pretty bad, causing Max to wince.

"Jerk," Mimosa screamed as she turned around and walked away. "I hate you, your a pervert." Max didnt know when but apparently Mimosa had become even more shy around him. He made a mental note to ask Tilith about it later.
