Chapter 301: Epilogue: Takeru Sawataris Grand Harem
Epilogue: The Aftermath of Harsh Fantasy
Here’s an update on Takeru’s harem members and what happened to them (including their children).
TN: There are spoilers for some characters below.
**Upper Harem Council – Thirteen Seats**
**First Seat: Queen Silhouette of the Kingdom of Silesie**
A small princess with strawberry-blonde hair. As a half-elf, her looks are exceptionally refined and beautiful. Silhouette was the illegitimate child of the 17th King of Silesie, Gaius Silesie Albert. Known as “the shadow,” she was raised in obscurity. After a coup led by Knight Commander Gale, she became the last remaining descendant of the founding royal bloodline. Takeru, as Regent of Silesie, established her as the reigning queen.
As a great monarch, she led the Kingdom of Silesie into a golden age.
Later, Silhouette married Takeru, and they had a daughter, Lumière. With soft golden hair and a fair complexion tinged with pale orange, Lumière inherited her mother’s beauty mixed with elven grace and became the successor to the illustrious Queen Silhouette. Following Lumière’s birth, Silhouette went on to have twelve more children (three sons and eight daughters).
These children, led by the renowned “Queen of Light” Lumière, supported the kingdom as leaders across various domains. The capital of Silesie became known as the “City of Flowers,” maintaining its grandeur as the largest and most prosperous kingdom in the world.
**Second Seat: Princess Caroline of the Duchy of Transylvania** With long flaxen hair and a rare pair of glasses, Caroline was a serious, patriotic woman with solid principles. Being distant royal relatives, she had a close relationship with Princess Silhouette. She married Takeru Sawatari and succeeded her father, King Valram, as the ruling Duchess of Transylvania.
Their first child was a son, Maurits. From birth, he had a large, imposing frame and grew into a dignified, steady young man. He inherited the duchy early from his mother, Caroline, and went on to rule.
Maurits had four siblings (two brothers and two sisters) who supported him in leading the duchy. Known for its prime location for overseas trade, Transylvania flourished under the forward-thinking governance of “The Stern Duke” Maurits.
**Third Seat: Princess Eleonora of the Duchy of Lanct**
Clad in dazzling crimson armor, the golden-haired, blue-eyed knight princess Eleonora was known as the “War Maiden of Lanct.” She was a notorious spitfire. Her first encounter with Takeru was on the battlefield, where they initially fought as enemies. However, after the Kingdom of Silesie defeated the Germania Empire, the allied territories declared independence. The Duchy of Lanct, as a central state in this alliance, eventually became a close ally of Silesie, leading to her marriage with Takeru after many twists and turns.
Their child, a son named Tycoon, was born with golden hair and striking blue eyes that gleamed like precious jewels. As a member of the beautiful Am-main lineage, he grew into a remarkably handsome young man. His grandfather, Duke Emerhart, was inclined to spoil him with wealth, but the butler-knight Seneschal Kato diligently ensured that Tycoon was raised properly, preventing the mistakes made during Eleonora’s upbringing. Tycoon went on to become a distinguished Grand Duke and heir to the Duchy of Lanct.
In addition to Tycoon, Eleonora and Takeru had three more children (two sons and one daughter).
Their second and third sons grew into honorable dukes, but for some reason, their youngest daughter, Leonora, chose the path of a knight and became the second “War Maiden of Lanct.” Butler-knight Seneschal Kato, who had hoped for a peaceful retirement, found his lifespan inconveniently extended thanks to Takeru’s gift of the Eternal Mushroom (an herb that doubles lifespan). As a result, even into his nineties, he remained active, constantly dealing with the troubles caused by the new Princess Knight Leonora. Life, it seems, has an unpredictable way of turning blessings into burdens.
**Fourth Seat: Empress Elizabeth of the Reformed Germania Empire**
The direct granddaughter of the elderly Emperor Conrad, Elizabeth was the daughter of his eldest son. Had it not been for the tyranny of Freed, Elizabeth’s father would have succeeded the throne. She had waist-length, bluish-blonde hair and heterochromatic eyes, one golden and the other blue. Almost all of Conrad’s bloodline had been killed by Freed during the struggle for imperial succession, but Elizabeth survived because, as a young girl, Freed saw no need to eliminate her.
A naturally intelligent child, she stayed out of Freed’s sight by hiding in the shadow of her grandfather, the aging emperor. After Freed’s death, she struggled to protect the frail Conrad amidst the empire’s turmoil, but was captured and imprisoned by the tyrant Dyson, who forced her into an unwanted engagement. When Takeru defeated Dyson, he married Elizabeth, freeing her and solidifying his position as her protector.
As the Empress of the newly reformed Germania Empire, Elizabeth possessed a regal pride and strong will to rule. Emperor Conrad, who had abdicated the throne to Elizabeth, regained his health and extended his life thanks to Takeru’s Eternal Mushroom, allowing Elizabeth to enjoy her early married life in peace.
Later, she gave birth to their first son, Reinhard. A hero worthy of succeeding Elizabeth, Reinhard made his mark primarily as Crown Prince, achieving notable accomplishments during Conrad’s extended reign. Following Reinhard’s birth, Elizabeth went on to have twelve more children with Takeru (five sons and seven daughters).
Elizabeth lived a long, happy life with Takeru, surrounded by children and grandchildren, while Conrad passed peacefully at the age of 150.
**Fifth Seat: Queen Celestina of the Kingdom of Aragon**
Celestina, a powerful advance mage, wielded the unique magic of “Fascination.” She was renowned as the strongest mage in the Kingdom of Castile. Her long, curled purple hair was actually dyed, as her natural hair color was black, just like Takeru’s. She often wore a figure-hugging dress with a deep neckline, exuding the charm of an alluring oneesan.
Descended from Ramiro, a child of the old Aragonian royal bloodline, she led a rebellion after the Kingdom of Castile lost a war with Silesie. Centering her rule in the northeastern city of Pamplona, she united the Viscon and Cantabrian people into a trinity-kingdom called the Kingdom of Aragon, where she reigned as its first queen and sought Takeru’s protection.
With her marriage to Takeru, she forged an alliance with Silesie, solidifying Aragon’s independence.
Celestina bore a son, Edward, who became the second king of Aragon. She later had five more children with Takeru (three sons and two daughters). Her second son became a noble of the kingdom, while the others pursued the arts, with many becoming artists and dancers.
**Sixth Seat: Dragon Princess Are of Rango Land Island (Independent Territory)**
Are is the daughter of the queen of Rango Island, located off the northwest coast of the Afri Continent, near the Great Desert. She has blue, shoulder-length hair with two dark brown dragon horns protruding, and her hands and feet end in sharp claws covered in blue scales. With blue dragon wings and a long tail, her physique otherwise resembles a tall, well-built human woman, in stark contrast to her translucent white skin and voluptuous figure, which she covers only with simple white cloth around her chest and waist.
The dragon maidens of Rango are a lineage of half-dragon women, descendants of the ancient dragon god and Asama’s human. Only daughters are born in this lineage, so they must leave the island to seek husbands once they come of age. Rango Island, ruled by the “Lady of Rango,” the dragon queen, has a friendly relationship with the Kingdom of Castile, offering its ports in exchange for trade.
Are, always in pursuit of knowledge, was invited to serve as a guest general at the Castile royal court. At first, she hesitated to fight Takeru, the hero of Silesie, out of respect for him, as heroes are revered on her island. However, after witnessing Takeru’s strength, she quickly switched allegiances and married him.
Are and Takeru had their first child, a daughter named Arere, a spirited dragon maid who, like her mother, possesses dragon features. Although the current queen is vigorous and shows no sign of abdicating, it’s expected that Arere will eventually inherit the throne of Rango Island.
Subsequently, Are bore Takeru a recorded total of eighty-eight children (though there may be even more). All of them are warrior dragon maids, and it is said they will continue to multiply as long as Takeru lives.
**Seventh Seat: Lord Regent Lyle of the Kingdom of Silesie**
Lyle has short brown hair and light brown eyes, which she eventually grew long. She is an exceptionally knowledgeable woman, with expertise spanning military tactics, diplomacy, natural science, pedagogy, pharmacology, and traditional customs—a true polymath. Raised in a family of esteemed scholars, she was looked down upon as the only one with limited magical ability, as well as physical issues, resulting in past trauma that drove her to master all forms of knowledge.
Despite her brilliance, Lyle’s father never acknowledged her achievements, instead growing even more disdainful. This caused Lyle to develop a complex mix of love and resentment toward her father, the great scholar Nicola, and pure hatred for her older brothers, who are powerful mages. Though quiet by nature, she harbors an intense thirst for power and an ambitious spirit.
When Lyle first met Takeru, she was a demoted secretary. However, she eventually raised Takeru to the status of national hero, progressing to Chief Minister and ultimately Regent. In time, she overcame her past traumas, married Takeru, and reconciled with her father after the birth of their child.
Lyle and Takeru had a son named Coil, a prodigious mage with suspicions of being a reincarnate due to his extreme intelligence, which he readily applied. Later, their second son, Saddle, was born, and together the brothers became top mages in Silesie, their achievements leaning primarily toward research.
Coil and Saddle, known as the scholar brothers of Silesie, initiated the development of external combustion engines, culminating in the invention of the steam locomotive, establishing the world’s first railroad in Silesie. They then progressed to internal combustion engines, innovating steamships for maritime transport and cars and airplanes for land and air travel. In military applications, they pioneered the tank and even deciphered the ancient technologies of Queen Liliella’s realm, successfully recreating Swift Golems.
In the civilian sector, listing their contributions is nearly impossible, as they revolutionized daily life with fire, hydro, and magic-based electricity and countless electrical inventions. Some historians suggest that without the achievements of the inventive hero Takeru and his two sons, Coil and Saddle, the world’s progress would have lagged by five centuries.
**Eighth Seat: Sharon, CEO of Sawatari Company and Chief of the Royal Household of Silesie Kingdom**
Sharon, with her orange hair and amber eyes, carries canine beastman heritage, giving her a naturally obedient personality and a strong sense of prioritizing harmony in the royal household. She manages Sawatari Company while also taking on the role of mother to all the children within the royal harem.
With Takeru, Sharon gave birth to fraternal twins: a daughter, L’Orange, who inherited Sharon’s orange hair and Takeru’s dark eyes, and a son, Noah, who has Takeru’s dark hair and Sharon’s amber eyes. L’Orange would eventually succeed Sharon as CEO of Sawatari Company, with Noah supporting her.
As a former slave girl beloved by Takeru, and with the prolific nature of her canine beastman lineage, Sharon went on to have a total of sixty children with Takeru (including eight sets of twins and two sets of triplets). Her children took on various roles as branch managers and department heads within Sawatari Company, helping it to become a global enterprise.
**Eighth Seat (again?): Oracle of the Demon King of the Demon Kingdom, Dungeon Master of Oracle Great Cave**
Oracle, with her twin-tailed white hair, red eyes, and blue skin, looks like a petite thirteen-year-old at best. Her youthful, adorable appearance, however, is merely a disguise to ensure her safety; in reality, Oracle is an ancient succubus over three hundred years old, with a fully matured spirit. Although she poses as a vampire lord (and can indeed drink blood), she is actually an “Ancient Succubus,” gaining power by absorbing life energy from others.
Oracle was created as a clone to serve as the dungeon master of a massive cave system. Though she planned to return to her duties after Takeru’s death, his lifespan unexpectedly lengthened, and she ended up staying in the royal harem.
Oracle and Takeru had a child named Orakeru, who has gray hair and skin. As the progeny of the immortal Oracle, Orakeru was born with a guaranteed position as a demon king. He grew up under the genius tutelage of Kaara but developed a slight inferiority complex due to being constantly outshone by his extraordinary sibling, Coil. Eventually, Orakeru founded the Demon Kingdom of Orakeru on the Abyss Continent, where he became a powerful overlord. In addition to Orakeru, Oracle had three other children (one son and two daughters), each of whom became demon rulers by either establishing new domains or marrying into other demon realms.
**Ninth Seat: Queen Steriana of the Holy Queendom of Steriana, Holy Mother of the Asama Church**
Steriana is a sister with long, slightly wavy, pale blonde hair and an impressively large chest. She wears a white robe with blue stripes that hides her face. She originally wandered as an itinerant missionary collecting alms, but she was highly skilled in holy alchemy and managed to barely pass the third-grade hero certification, which allowed her to certify Takeru as a hero.
Following this, she and Takeru performed the “Forbidden Ritual,” elevating her rank to second grade, then to a quasi-first grade, ultimately giving her the powers of a saintess. Her skills in holy alchemy soared with her rank, and she earned the title “Holy Maiden of Seals.”
Despite her role as a saintess assigned to the hero, Steriana boldly married Takeru, after having supported him multiple times in saving the world.
Together with Takeru, Steriana had a daughter, Ruana. With her golden hair inherited from her mother and fair skin, Ruana grew up to be surprisingly level-headed, considering her lineage. She was eventually forced to inherit the Holy Queendom of Steriana, enduring considerable hardship due to her mother’s eccentricity.
Steriana and Takeru also had six other children (one son and five daughters), all of whom pursued various paths as artists, writers, entrepreneurs, dancers, fashion designers, and restaurateurs. It is perhaps fitting, though not surprising, that none of Steriana’s children followed the path of saintesshood.
**Tenth Seat: Lady Louise, Sword Saintess and Master of the Carlson School, Baroness of the Silesie Kingdom**
Louise, with her fiery red ponytail and crimson eyes, is a valiant knight. Once a vice-commander of the Silesie Kingdom’s Royal Guard, she hails from the esteemed Carlson family—a noble house known for producing elite knights and warriors since the kingdom’s founding two hundred and forty years ago. Louise rose rapidly through the ranks of the Royal Guard, from squire to knight, officer, and finally councilor, due to her exceptional valor and the strength of her lineage. However, her ascent stirred jealousy among conservative nobles and male knights, and she was eventually caught in a scheme by Gale Dot Zaus (now commander of the guard) and ousted from her position.
Stripped of her title, Louise became a wandering adventurer, eventually finding refuge in the village of Losgow, where she met Takeru. When Takeru founded his volunteer army, she took command and led them with tactical brilliance. After suppressing Gale’s coup, Louise declined offers of high-ranking positions, choosing instead to remain Takeru’s knight and ultimately marrying him.
Louise and Takeru had a son, Charles, who inherited her skills and became known as the “Unbeaten Knight,” famed for winning every duel without ever sustaining an injury. This legend reinvigorated the Carlson School of Swordsmanship, even in an era when swordsmanship was fading. Charles inherited the Carlson family legacy, and his three siblings (two sisters and a brother) also became master swordsmen, achieving fame across the lands. Their exploits were celebrated in ballads and legends, a cherished echo of the age of chivalry.
**Eleventh Seat: Lady Kaara, Grand Chancellor of the Abyss Demon Kingdom, Supreme Mage of Silesie**
Kaara, a prodigious demon born of rare atavistic mutation in the Silesie region, where only lesser demons remain, achieved mastery of the high-level human spell Meteor Strike by age nineteen. Using human wars and conflicts, she aimed to free miasma holes and resurrect demon kings, her ultimate goal. Though she fancied herself a strategist, her emotional impulsiveness often led her astray, with her human allies frequently turning the tables on her.
Kaara devised a method to unlock miasma holes, but when she shared this knowledge with Gale, it leaked to the empire and was exploited by Freed. Captured by Takeru, she eventually reformed and joined his side. Convinced that the child of Takeru and Oracle would one day become the Great Demon King, she sought to produce heirs to support this future, leading her to marry Takeru.
They had a son, Kaaru, who inherited Kaara’s golden hair and the gray skin often seen in half-demons. Kaaru, known for his diligent nature, grew up alongside his mother to serve as the next Grand Chancellor, aiding the Great Demon King Orakeru in his conquests. He exemplified the burdens placed on children by their parents’ grand expectations.
In addition to Kaaru, Kaara had eight more children with Takeru (three sons and five daughters). They went on to become key figures in the Abyss Demon Kingdom, or established new territories on the Abyss Continent, rising as prominent lords.
**Twelfth Seat: Lady Neneka, Head of Espionage and Palace Security Chief of the Silesie Kingdom**
Neneka, a striking woman with long, deep purple curls cascading to her feet, exudes an intense allure. She was once the leader of the Female Cat Thieves and initially opposed Takeru under the orders of the Golden Eagle Thieves but eventually defected. After Takeru saved her impoverished village, she became deeply devoted to him. Drawing on her experience as a former spy, the Female Cat Thieves transformed into a scouting unit within Takeru’s volunteer army.
Neneka became head of espionage and later married Takeru, giving birth to their first daughter, Neneri, and subsequently having seven more children (four sons and three daughters). While some of her descendants returned to her home village, they continued their work as scouts for the Silesie Kingdom, eventually turning their village into a rumored “hidden ninja settlement.”
These are the top thirteen seats of the Imperial Consorts’ Council.
TN: Yeah, there was something wrong with the numbering but they’re still 13.
To lead Takeru’s consort council is to oversee the alliance of the continents of Eura and Abyss in blood. The council would later come to be known as the Continental Alliance, quietly controlling the world’s political and economic affairs.
Lower Harem Council.
The first 13 slave girls with the addition of Sherry from the 2nd batch.
**Sherry, fifteen years old, Silesie Kingdom’s Minister of Finance and Head of Strategic Management at the Sawatari Company (serving concurrently as Executive Director) **
Sherry, with silver-white hair and blue-tinted silver eyes, was a mathematical prodigy who, despite being from the second generation, achieved significant accomplishments, including bankrupting the former Germania Empire. Second only to Sharon, she became a leading figure among the slave girls.
Despite her hard work, Sherry struggled with infertility, only managing to have a son, Clark, five years later. Clark, named after her grandfather, grew into a renowned scholar, laying the foundation of economics with his theories, beginning with his monumental work, *Agrarianism and Capitalism*. Sherry also had two other children (one son and one daughter), both of whom became scholars.
**Flora, Sixteen, Owner of the Salon “Flora,” and Product Development Consultant at Sawatari Company (serving concurrently as Executive Director)**
Flora, with her well-maintained, wavy flaxen hair, had a free-spirited nature and a mature outlook, partly due to her background as the daughter of a former courtesan. She and Takeru had five children (two sons and three daughters). She founded the world’s first beauty salon, sparking a beauty craze across nations.
**Roll, Fifteen, Head of Manufacturing at Sawatari Company (serving concurrently as Managing Director)**
With copper-red hair and tanned skin, Roll, a dark dwarf, was characterized by her short stature, patient personality, and intense work ethic. Often assigned as the bath attendant in the palace, she maintained an innocent nature despite her prolific childbearing. Over the years, she had twenty-three children (eleven sons and twelve daughters), so many that Takeru struggled to keep up with naming them. Her lineage, known for a unique intuition for minerals, roamed the world and contributed significantly to mining developments.
**Colette, Sixteen, Royal Head Chef and Head of the Culinary Division at Sawatari Company (serving concurrently as Managing Director)**
Colette, with brown hair and eyes, was the daughter of a baker and had the approachable air of a tavern hostess. As the royal chef and overseer of the wine cellars, she shared a close bond with Roll and dreamed of spreading Takeru’s culinary creations worldwide. Though she couldn’t leave the palace, her encyclopedic recipe collection achieved her dream, earning her a place in culinary history as a pioneer of modern cuisine. She had three children with Takeru (one son and two daughters), all of whom took up her mission, traveling to distant lands in search of new ingredients and introducing innovative dishes across continents.
**Suzanne, Sixteen, Commander of the Royal Guard and Security Officer at Sawatari Company (concurrently serving as Executive Director)**
Suzanne, with her bright red short hair and red eyes, was mentored by Louise and eventually rose to become Captain of the Knights and later Commander of the Royal Guard. She had three children (one son and two daughters). Her son took over as Head of the Security Division at Sawatari Company, while her daughters fulfilled her own aspirations by serving as Takeru’s personal guard.
**Claudia, Sixteen, Commander of the Royal Division and Head of Security at Sawatari Company (concurrently serving as Executive Director)**
With hazel hair and eyes, Claudia wore her hair tied back, perhaps imitating Louise. Rising from knight captain to Commander of the Royal Division, she trained new recruits while working alongside Suzanne. During breaks from her busy duties, she sometimes took on the role of Takeru’s bodyguard. Claudia had six children with Takeru (four sons and two daughters). One son, seeking adventure, became a renowned martial artist and later married an island princess in the South, becoming a king. The other three sons rose through the Silesie Kingdom’s military ranks, while her two daughters followed in her footsteps as Takeru’s guards.
**Elisa, Sixteen, Owner of the Restaurant Chain “Elisa” and Head of the Restaurant Division at Sawatari Company (concurrently serving as Managing Director)**
Eliza, with her short black hair and jet-black eyes, independently started a restaurant chain to bring royal cuisine to the masses, a concept that became popular worldwide. She had two children (one son and one daughter), both of whom grew into renowned chefs.
**Melisa, Sixteen, Owner of the Café Chain “Café de Melisa” and Head of the Café Division at Sawatari Company (concurrently serving as Managing Director)**
With semi-long brown hair and brown eyes, Melisa, inspired by Eliza’s restaurant venture, opened her own chain focused on sweets. Her dedication to flavor made Silesie-style pastries accessible across the world. She had three children with Takeru (two daughters and one son). While her daughters continued her legacy in pastry-making, her son, Bar, had a passion for coffee beans and became the world’s first barista, establishing the first café to serve espresso.
**Lou, Head of Business Division at Sawatari Company (concurrently serving as Managing Director)**
With long brown hair and green eyes, Lou excelled at completing any task assigned to her, though she preferred to avoid the spotlight. She had two children (one son and one daughter), both of whom joined Sawatari Company, with her son rising to serve as a branch manager.
**Liddy, Head of Sales Division at Sawatari Company (concurrently serving as Managing Director)**
Liddy, with her long red hair and amber eyes, was known for her sociable personality and expertise in sales. She thrived in purchasing goods from around the world. She had three children with Takeru (one son and two daughters). Her eldest son joined Sawatari Company and became a branch manager, while her other two children founded their own trading company, making a name in speculative trade.
**Ginny, Fifteen, Steward of the Ambazak Domain (later Baron) and Head of Operations at Sawatari Company (concurrently serving as Managing Director)**
Unusually for a former slave girl, Ginny took on bureaucratic work and later became the deputy for Takeru’s directly controlled domain of Ambazak, dedicating herself to domain management. Eventually, she held the title of Baroness for a brief period, passing the Ambazak domain to her son, Jimmy, born of Takeru. In addition to her domain duties, she managed the practical operations of Sawatari Company, a demanding role. Noticing her overwhelming workload, Takeru built her a villa as a retreat, though she found herself involved in work even after retirement.
**Paula, Sixteen, Owner of Takeru-Style Ninjutsu Dojo and Head of Security at Sawatari Company (concurrently serving as Executive Director)**
Paula initially gained Takeru’s support for establishing a ninjutsu dojo, but she went further by founding a Takeru-style school of ninjutsu, which quickly gained popularity as the hero’s ninjutsu school. This proved to be a hit, as Paula intended, bringing happiness to everyone except Takeru, who found it embarrassing. While designed as a recreational dojo for the public, those with talent were sometimes scouted as spies for the kingdom. Paula had eight children with Takeru (two sons and six daughters), and her descendants took various paths, from inheriting the dojo to exploring new continents, joining sea voyages, or even training under the legendary thief Wake.
**Viola, Herb Garden Owner, Minister of Environment Bureau of the Kingdom of Silesie, and Head of Environment Committee at Sawatari Company (concurrently serving as Managing Director)**
As one with the blood of nymphs, Viola worked in the herb gardens and experimental farms for Takeru. With the rapid industrialization and development in Silesie threatening the environment, she founded an Environment Bureau in the kingdom and an Environment Committee within Sawatari Company to protect nature and wildlife. Her contributions to improving the world for Takeru’s sake were significant. Viola had nine daughters with Takeru, which was unusual given that nymphs rarely bear children with humans. Her daughters, inheriting human rather than fairy traits, remained gentle-natured, managing botanical gardens or engaging in environmental preservation, and most settled permanently in the capital of Silesie. Notably, the ominous power of the nymphs to poison waters, which Viola possessed, was never used again after Takeru brought peace to the world.
**Sarah Agene Rod, Fifteen, Countess Agene**
With silky blonde hair and emerald green eyes, Sarah is petite for her age, with a physique still maturing. Born as the daughter of a wealthy farmer in Losgow Village, she organized the local youth into a volunteer corps, rose to village deputy and defense captain, and even served as Takeru’s acting general, leading a sweeping campaign in the south of Silesie. Her achievements earned her the Agene County, ultimately rising to the title of Countess. Celebrated as one of Silesie’s great heroes and a figure of legend, Sarah had ten children with Takeru (five sons and five daughters), who inherited her southern lands, becoming nobility and expanding their territory. The Rod family, beginning with Sarah, declared themselves Takeru’s most beloved, becoming a significant family alongside the Almark family of Marquess Danavan in supporting the Silesie royal family.
**Ra Sheva Deva (Nickname: Rara), Thirteen, Heir to the Sheva Tribe**
Daughter of the chief of the reptilian Sheva Tribe, Rara is a half-reptilian girl with gray skin. Her upper body resembles that of a human girl, while her limbs and tail display the characteristics of a reptilian. Her slitted pupils are a distinct marker of her mixed heritage. Curious by nature, she initially wore the traditional attire of her tribe but has since begun experimenting with silk underwear and dresses with tail holes.
After a persistent pursuit, she married Takeru and bore him a son a year later. The following year, she had a daughter and returned to her tribe, satisfied with her family. She frequently visited the capital afterward, and, once becoming the tribe’s leader, she used her knowledge of the outside world to develop her village.
**Juliana, Twenty-eight, Deputy Chief of Palace Security**
With rich golden hair and brown eyes, Juliana is a striking beauty with a bold appearance. She works in the scout division as a spy alongside Neneka, later taking on the role of deputy in palace security. Though skilled with a whip, she insists it’s for professional use only. Having witnessed her hometown ravaged by disease, she dreams of establishing a pharmacy and studies herbology under Viola.
She had one son with Takeru. With support from Lyle and Viola, she successfully cultivated medicinal herbs outside the test farms, transforming her village into a center for herbal medicine, protecting it from future outbreaks.
**Harlene, Sixteen, Palace Guard**
With black hair, blue eyes, and a small frame, Harlene is an active, agile young woman skilled in martial arts. She joined the scout division and quickly rose as an ace, eventually earning a position as a palace guard. Both Juliana and Harlene joined the palace guard due to close collaboration between the knight corps and the spy division. Harlene dreams of opening a ninjutsu dojo in the capital one day.
She bore two sons with Takeru. Working alongside Paula, she helped establish a ninja dojo, popularizing the Takeru-style ninjutsu, much to Takeru’s dismay. In addition to her scouting work, she served as a mentor at the dojo, training many successors.
**Berenice, Twenty-four, Takeru’s Knight Bodyguard**
Berenice, with her dark, sun-kissed skin and long, elven ears, stands out as a capable knight. Rising from the ranks of a commoner to a kingdom soldier, she eventually became a knight despite her heritage as a dark dwarf, a rare feat. Bold and decisive, she excelled in battles, defeating numerous enemy knights. Her only flaws are her occasional crudeness and a fondness for inappropriate humor; she’s also a self-proclaimed muscle enthusiast. Her ultimate goal is to live a peaceful life.
With Takeru, she had two daughters. One became a knight following in her mother’s footsteps, while the other, perhaps influenced by her dwarven heritage, pursued a career as a mining engineer. During Berenice’s era, Silesie’s capital became the liveliest city in the world, where she happily enjoyed a peaceful life.
**Clementine Mancine, Eighteen, Takeru’s Knight Bodyguard**
With her signature blonde ringlets, Clementine may look demure, but she possesses extraordinary strength and a well-proportioned, voluptuous figure. A viscount’s daughter from Vienne, she couldn’t inherit her family’s title, so she chose the path of a female knight. Known as the strongest in the order, she’s skilled and highly principled but is held back by her shy personality. Her constant endearment to her father has left her with a bit of a father complex. During wartime, she has served as a deputy commander. The Mancine family was founded by the legendary knight, Sir Rodriguez Mancine, wielder of the Holy Lance.
She had eleven children with Takeru (three sons and eight daughters), all of whom became distinguished knights. Eventually, with no other heirs left in the main Mancine line, her eldest daughter’s son inherited the Mancine estate. Clementine entrusted the legendary Holy Lance to this grandson, returning it to the main family line.
**Jill Rootbeer, Twenty-seven, Commander of the Silesie Royal Guard**
Jill wears her black hair in a ponytail like Louise, and her toned, tan physique gives her a sporty, energetic look. A devoted retainer of the Rootbeer family, Jill was inspired by Louise’s entry into the harem and followed suit. She wishes for a son to carry on the family line, hoping for a boy to save him the struggles she faced as a female knight. Jill has a notorious sweet tooth but struggles with cooking.
She had three children with Takeru (one son and two daughters). Her eldest son and daughter followed her path to become knights, while her youngest daughter, unexpectedly, became a baker and opened a pastry shop, much to Jill’s delight. Jill cherishes the cakes her youngest daughter makes.
**Marina Horse, Twenty-six, Commander of the Silesie Royal Guard**
With chestnut hair and eyes, Marina is a petite, stoic knight. Silent to the point of being called “the stone,” she’s not the most sociable person for leading the royal guard but excels in cavalry command. Her family name, “Horse,” is well-deserved, as her skill in handling horses is unparalleled. She reformed the Royal Guard, reducing their numbers to 500 and shaping them into a nimble light cavalry, stripping them of arrogance and instilling strict discipline. Known as “Rolling Stone Marina,” she served as Louise’s vice commander before joining the harem under her influence.
She had two children with Takeru (one son and one daughter). Both excelled in horsemanship, and though they quarreled over who would inherit the family name, they ultimately reached an agreement: her son became a general, while her daughter succeeded Marina as the commander of the royal guard.
**Hydra, Twenty-one, Commander of the Silesie Kingdom’s Beast Corps**
A stunning young woman with azure skin, Hydra has inherited the blood of snake-like demons. She dresses in revealing bondage-style armor and wields a staff for commanding beasts. Ambitious and driven, she has sought rapid advancement, moving between various positions in both the demon and Silesie armies until finally joining Takeru’s harem, aiming to secure a future general for the demon kingdom.
True to her goal, she bore ten children with Takeru (four daughters and six sons), all of whom went on to become demon dukes with large territories. “Victory for Hydra!”
**Zither Scheidholdt, Twenty-Five, Court Musician of the New Germania Empire**
A petite woman with soft, honey-colored curls and hazel eyes, Zither is a musical genius in the royal court. Though she appears like an innocent young girl, her gaze holds a fervent passion for her craft. Skilled in both singing and performing, she excels as a conductor and theatrical producer, and no one rivals her talent in the musical arts. She developed feelings for Takeru when he was disguised as the wandering Black Marksman, Drift Gunner, during Eliza’s rescue. After learning his true identity, she joined the harem alongside Eliza. Zither is known for her extraordinary, albeit charming, absent-mindedness.
She had four children with Takeru (three sons and one daughter). With a long family tradition in music, every member of the Scheidholdt family became a musician. Zither served as a court musician for many years and nurtured numerous artists. Inspired by Takeru’s achievements, Zither invented new instruments, making it possible for the Scheidholdt family alone to perform as a full orchestra.
**Cecily Korang, Fifteen**
With deep blue eyes reminiscent of the ocean and dark purple hair with two horns resembling those of a water buffalo, Cecily is the only child of Damons Korang, King of Times. She possesses a gentle expression inherited from her mother and a core of strength passed down from her father. As a direct descendant of the legendary sea demon king “Ocean Emperor Korang,” who ruled the seas of Times 300 years ago, she also carries a human lineage, often undervalued among nobility.
She had two daughters with Takeru. Her descendants continued the Times Kingdom’s legacy as a leading nation of demons on the Abyss Continent and maintained a lasting friendship with the Silesie Kingdom.
**Queen Amorette’s Maids**
– **Miya (23, blonde)**
– **Meya (24, blue-haired)**
– **Neya (25, black-haired)**
These three young court ladies serve Queen Amorette. Each is of noble lineage from Abysspania, related to royalty, and has been rigorously trained in etiquette, decorum, and even combat, essential skills for royal attendants.
Miya had three children with Takeru (two sons and one daughter), Meya had two (both sons), and Neya had four (one son and three daughters). Their children went on to become nobles or independent lords in Abysspania and key figures in establishing the New Abysspania Queendom. These three loyal attendants supported Queen Amorette’s rule while managing internal affairs in Abysspania, handling diplomacy on the continent of Eura, and bearing Takeru’s children, leading lively and eventful lives.
**Sister Marea, Age Unknown, Archbishop of Lanct**
With sepia-colored hair and eyes, Marea is a sister with a serene beauty, complemented by a voluptuous figure that exudes a subtle allure. She aspired to the esteemed role of sister-in-waiting to the hero and swiftly became Takeru’s wife.
She bore five children with Takeru (two sons and three daughters). All became saints or saintess and contributed significantly to the growth of the Asama Church.
**Sister Rosa, Age Unknown, Bishop of Silesie (later Archbishop)**
With vivid red hair and eyes, Rosa is slender and slightly petite, with a modest chest and hips. Although reserved for a high-ranking member of the Asama Church, she pursued the role of sister-in-waiting to the hero out of rivalry with Marea and ultimately married Takeru. Later, when the seventh bishop’s seat was established in the Silesie capital, Rosa was appointed Archbishop.
She had sixteen children with Takeru (five sons and eleven daughters). All the daughters entered the clergy, while the five sons joined the Sawatari Company, later establishing the Rosa Trading Company after gaining experience. Rosa managed an orphanage within the church, raising over a thousand children with care. Her children’s business ventures also served as employment support for the orphans she nurtured.
**Mearid Rivatania, Twenty-Eight, Admiral of the Second Fleet of the Silesie Kingdom**
A stunning beauty with wavy black hair and blue eyes, Mearid once bore scars that marred her beautiful face, but Takeru healed them. Originally the head of a pirate crew from the northern seas, she would deceive and kill to protect women and children. Discovered by Takeru, she rose to serve as Admiral of the Second Fleet of the Silesie Kingdom.
Though she harbored resentment for nobility, Takeru healed not only her physical scars but also her emotional wounds. During the voyage to Hinomoto, she married Takeru. They had two children (one son and one daughter), both of whom were born and raised aboard her ship. As adults, they became admirals who supported the Silesie Kingdom’s navy.
**The Pope and the Goddesses**
**Mother of Chaos (Tentacle Oneesan), Age Unknown**
Her age and origins are unknown, but it’s believed her consciousness has existed since the world’s creation 12,000 years ago. She has the upper body of a beautiful, expressionless woman and a lower body of tentacles. Known as the mother of all chaotic beings, her existence is the source of the world itself. She mates with Takeru to produce “World Blossoms” each year, and from these blossoms, childlike beings called Cargo—”Hero’s Gifts”—bloom and scatter across the world. These beings bring strange blessings and calamities, creating legends before vanishing.
**Anastasia II, Age Nine, Child Pope**
A young girl with silver hair, a flower crown on her head, and blue eyes. She is a spirit medium with the ability to synchronize her heart with others, reading their thoughts. This gift makes her the perfect vessel for the goddess Asama, and at eight, she rose to the highest position in the Asama Church. Although she uses grandiose language as Pope, she remains an ordinary young girl at heart.
She had one son with Takeru, named Anastasia III. He inherited her mind-reading power and became the first male Pope in the history of the Asama Church. A certain saintess on the Abyss Continent was rumored to have celebrated wildly upon hearing this.
Besides Anastasia III, she had twenty other children (four sons and sixteen daughters). Many became saints or saintesses, but the youngest three gained renown as adventurers.
**Asama, the Goddess of Creation**
Some of Anastasia and Takeru’s children were born with silver wings rather than as ordinary humans, leading to legends that they were offspring of the goddess Asama. These twenty winged children ascended to the heavens, where they became known as the twenty archangels guarding the celestial gates. Revered as guardian angels, they protect major cities, suppress eruptions from “Miasma Holes,” and bestow blessings on high-ranking priests and the hero of the age, assisting the goddess in her divine duties.
**Shizuka, Age Twenty-Two, Imperial Shrine Maiden of the Great Goddess Asama**
Shizuka has long, black, silk-like hair and fair skin, giving her a delicate appearance, though her spirited nature often caused trouble for her handmaids in her youth. She is descended from the first imperial shrine maiden, who alone heard the voice of the goddess Asama when she created the people of the island of Hinomoto, endowing Shizuka with a noble bloodline.
**Shizuka and Takeru’s Married Life**
Due to their royal responsibilities and the old Hinomoto custom, Shizuka and Takeru practiced a commuting marriage. Although Shizuka’s marriage at twenty-two was considered late by Hinomoto standards, it was not unusual for generations of imperial shrine maidens to marry late due to the scarcity of suitable partners. When Takeru crossed the seas, Shizuka was overjoyed and determined not to let him go; it is said she succeeded by getting him drunk.
The tale of Takeru, the hero of the Great Goddess Asama, who defeated the eight-headed serpent Yamata no Orochi by making it drunk, only to be defeated by the princess maiden with the same method, has become a humorous legend.
Shortly after their marriage, their first daughter, Kaguya, was born and succeeded as the 120th imperial shrine maiden. Over the years, each time Takeru traveled to Hinomoto, they were blessed with more children, totaling seven daughters. The imperial shrine maiden lineage has produced only girls since ancient times. Their third daughter, Kazuki, married into the Minamoto shogunate family, and her descendants bridged a lasting friendship between Hinomoto and the Kingdom of Silesie.
**Other Anecdotes**
**Dareda Rango Land, Thirty-Three, Queen of Rango Land**
Queen of Rango Island, located off the coast of the great desert on the northwest of the Afri Continent. She has semi-long blue hair with two dark brown dragon horns protruding, thick claws with blue scales on her limbs, blue dragon wings, and a long tail, though otherwise, she resembles a large human woman. In contrast, her skin is pale and she has a voluptuous figure, typically robed in loose white cotton garments.
Although she is not officially part of the harem (particularly as her daughter is one of Takeru’s wives, making her inclusion problematic), she had a relationship with Takeru and bore a daughter, known affectionately as Miss Careless. She occasionally attempts to seduce him, but all encounters are “officially” denied.
**Josephine, Age Unknown**
Twenty years after Takeru and Josephine’s last encounter, an unusual scam unfolded. A young man claiming to be Takeru’s son appeared alongside a woman identical to Josephine in her prime. Together, they deceived nobles and wealthy merchants, convincing them to invest funds. Before the Kingdom of Silesie’s authorities could catch them, Josephine and the boy disappeared, leaving the incident shrouded in mystery. Whether Josephine and Takeru had any actual connection remains unknown.
When Takeru was informed of the event, he merely laughed heartily. It’s said he covered the costs Josephine had gathered, instructing the authorities not to pursue her further.
