Third Person PoV
Sayaka was pacing back and forth in the living room of Kojou. She was worried, although Asagi had said that he would be fine she still wasn't able to calm her heart down.
"Ano, Kirasaka-san, did Kojou-kun do something to you?" Nagisa asked the mature beauty.
"Not really." Sayaka said weakly, her left hand resting on her nape.
Asagi only sighed and went back to doing her homework, she wasn't really worried about Kojou.
'It should be about time he came here to explain where he went.' Asagi mentally mused while her hand continued to solve quadratic equations with ease.
…
Kojou and Yukina had gone to sleep a little while after night had come. A few hours had passed since then and with a yawn, Kojou opened his eyes.
"Hmm? Where is Yukina?" He questioned finding the spot where the observer slept, empty.
"Well good for me I can hop back to Itogami island and tell Asagi to not worry."
Shaking his dizziness Kojou activated the Thirdz and went back to his home.
With a whiff of silver mist he appeared back in his room. Finding his room just as he left, he went over to the living room to inform Asagi and Nagisa.
But he found a person he didn't expect to be here.
"What are you doing here, Kirasaka?"
The War Dancer moved her towards the source of the voice and found Kojou standing there.
Kojou's chest was soon met with two great personalities in a jiffy, he hugged her back and looked over to Asagi for explanation.
"She wanted to ask for your help, but finding that you were missing she was worried and stayed here for you to come back."
"Oh, I didn't know that you cared that much for me, I am flattered, Kirasaka."
"Don't mistake me, this was only so you could help me find the princess of Aldegyr."
"Sure, I will look into the island I am stranded on. Can you get a rescue mission done?"
"Yes, I can talk to the coast guard for that." Sayaka replied.
"I can also ask Natsuki-sensei for help, if you want." Asagi offered.
"No, I asked her to leave this to me."
"Fine."
Kojou briefly describes how things happened that led to him and Yukina being dropped on an uninhabited island in the middle of nowhere, while they were going to meet a middle schooler.
After that with a quick shower he teleported back to the pillbox on the shore. He had left one of his familiars activated here so that he could come back by sensing it.
Kojou quickly discovered that Yukina hadn't returned till now. Thinking that she may have encountered the person on the island, who could be a princess quite possibly, Kojou went to find her.
'She may also be taking a bath.'
Thinking about another possibility, Kojou changed his route from the centre to towards the freshwater source Yukina had discovered earlier.
Today was a night of full moon, the small lake was brilliantly illuminated by the moon. A gorgeous lady was bathing in the lake, but it was not Yukina.
Kojou was mesmerised by the sight in front of him. The primordial vampirirc instincts which had been under his control since he first bit Asagi, went out of control and his fangs came out on their own.
The white haired beauties blood was almost unresistable, it was like it was calling him, to rip her neck and drink all of it.
But Kojou restrained himself, but kept his eyes fixed on the woman. The blue eyes of the woman were also focused on him.
Her body was partially turned away from him, her breasts were hidden by her arm. Kojou endured his instincts and gradually his eyes went back to blue and his fangs retracted.
Finally Kojou was able to have a thought.
'Is she related to Kanase? There is too much similarity to ignore.'
But just then Koou felt a metallic point touch his nape.
"Don't turn around, senpai. I will stab you if you do."
Kojou sighed, but didn't move his eyes from the white haired girl. He was afraid that she will use the distraction to escape, he can't let a potential risk factor go away like that.
"I am cursed with immortality, Himeragi. So your threat is useless. Although seeing your perverted fantasies is good, there is currently a person standing in front of me and she looks a lot like Kanase, so go back and get dressed fast!"
Yukina was very confused, she gently peeked from behind Kojou and found what Kojou said to be true.
"Senpai, can you lend me your jacket?" Yukina said in a soft tone.
"Sure."
Kojou took of his jacket and gave it to Yukina but in that small moment where he took his eyes off, the girl splashed water to create a barrier and ran.
Kojou followed behind her immediately, throwing his jacket towards Yukina and taking a glance.
He ran on the water, like Jesus but he was creating ice on it as he stepped. He saw the girl run into the forest and he sped up.
In a moment he was just behind her and caught her arm. But the momentum didn't disperse like an anime.
Kojou didn't stop the fall and fell on top of the girl. And was fully alert in case she used this closeness to launch an attack on him but the words he heard surprised him.
" Iyaahh~ I didn't know that the 4th Primogenitor was this forward!"
Kojou looked at the girl trapped below him, completely naked, and instead of being angry like another girl or woman should be, she is making comments about his character in a funny way.
"Senpai, Get off her, control your desires!"
Kojou stood up and gave his hand to the white haired beauty to help her stand.
"Ara~ a perverted gentleman?"
Yukina glared at Kojou but he shrugged her off.
"So you got clothes or is exhibitionism one of your hobbies?"
"Please wait a moment."
This time Kojou's words did manage to bring a little blush to the albino lady's face but it was short-lived, as if she was used to hiding her facial expressions.
The girl went behind a tree and came back dressed up, and finally Kojou got a good look at her.
Pale skin with hip-length silver hair that has bangs hanging over her face mostly hanging over on the right side and clear sky-blue eyes.
A jacket-like trench coat, with a white button-up shirt and black skirt, a blue pendant gemstone with red ribbons, she also has golden chains looped around her left shoulder.
'That pendant, royalty?'
Yukina immediately made a guess, but she couldn't remember which one. Yukina rubbed her legs, it was windy down there.
The smell of Kojou's jacket, along with the wind blowing in places that it shouldn't be making it harder for her to stay upright.
"So who are you?" Kojou asked without any delay.
"LaFolia Rihavein, the eldest daughter of Lucas Rihavein, the king of Aldegyr. You are Akatsuki Kojou, right. The 4th Primogenitor that lives on Itogami island?"
La Folia introduce herself, she did a little bow while raising her skirt with her hands after her little introduction, royal etiquette it seems.
'So she is the one Kirasaka asked me to help her find? Well looks like her task is finished.'
"So you are a princess? What are you doing here on an uninhabited island living like a deserted person?"
But before she could explain her situation bullets were fired on them. Both Yukina and La Folia reacted quickly, jumping to the ground, but the bullets never reached them.
The bullets were stopped by diamond shields. Kojou looked unimpressed by the black automata wielding guns.
Both the girl's quickly stood back up and took their stances. Yukina raised her spear while La Folia took out a gun with a bayonet on its front end, it was a classy looking gun.
"I will leave this to you girls."
Kojou said making the shields vanish. Yukina immediately rushed the enemies, punching one down.
"Young lightning!"
The other one had his gun slashed in half, and a kick put him down. The third one was butted by the blunt end of the spear throwing him down.
La Folia shot a bullet of light out of her gun, which pierced all the automata at once rendering them useless.
"A curse gun?" Yukina wondered out loud.
"Indeed." The princess answered in the same tone of voice as she had spoken earlier.
"So care to explain why they were here? The magus craft guys?"
Kojou asked, he was sure those shells he had seen used at the shore were used by La Folia, she was the one who fought these automata a while ago.
"I will explain, but before that can you destroy the ship they came on."
"Why? Can't we use it to go back?"
Yukina questioned.
"It is controlled by a mothership, and there should be more automata within." The albino beauty told her reasoning.
"Sure."
They went to a point from where the shore was visible clearly and Kojou raised his hand.
"Come, Regulus-Aurum!"
The Lion of Gold illuminated the entire shore, and with a single swipe from its paw the ship sunk along with everything inside it was reduced to cinders.
"That was Regulus-Aurum, the 5th familiar of Avrora Florestina, was it not?"
La Folia said.
"You know Avrora? Do you know about what happened at the banquet six months back?"
La Folia shook her head and answered.
"No, all the information about the banquet is confidential. Only those who participated know what happened, even then most of them had lost their memory."
Kojou was already prepared to be disappointed, he knew it wouldn't be this easy to get information on something that has to do with the banquet.
"So, your highness, why are you here?" Yukina asked.
"Don't call me that, I would prefer if my foreign friends called my given name. You can give me a nickname like, Foli-rin. Despite looking like this, I am well versed in Japanese culture."
"I would like to call you La Folia." Yukina said, while sweatdropping.
"I was attacked by Magus Craft when I was coming to Itogami Island. They are after my body."
"Looks like old man Kanase still has it going?"
"Not my body literally, but my blood, the Royal family of Aldegyr's blood."
"Oh, then tell that earlier."
"Yes, Kanase Kensei is a former royal court mage of Aldegyr. So most of his research requires the blood of the royal family. That is why he took such a huge risk in kidnapping me."
"And what is your relation to Kanon?"
Kojou said, making sure he called Kanon by her given name to not confuse with her adoptive father.
"Fifteen years ago, by grandfather had an illict affair with a woman in Japan, Kanase Kanon was born due to that, we were in the dark about her existence till now. But now that she was revealed to be alive and that her adoptive father is Kanase Kensei, I can't ignore her."
"So she is your aunt? Hmm, royalty is really complicated I guess. I take it he only adopted Kanase so that he could make her like that?" Kojou posed another question.
"Yes, she still is royalty. And looks like he made her into a Angel Faux."
'So she is an angel faux, my naming sense was quite close to the mark.' Kojou thought.
Just then they heard a ship coming towards the shore. While they were talking to La Folia they had come to where her escape pod was, on the opposite side of the pill boxes.
The three of them went ahead to see the ship, ans they saw a white flag being waved over the ship.
"Is this a fucking joke?" Kojou said.
"Calm down senpai, let's listen to them first, atleast."
The ship stooped at the shore and the gate opened, three people were standing on it.
Kanase Kensei, Beatrice Basler and Lowe Kirishima.
"It's been seven years, you have grown beautiful, Your Highness."
The old voice od Kanase Kensei greeted La Folia.
