I simply rolled my eyes. "My condolences. Miyako, Dan and Shion were all decent people." Tsukasa gave me a single nod to acknowledge that he heard me. "Until we all can get a clear understanding of what is going on, I will be taking care of Maruyama Masahiko. He is the youngest child here after all." Tsukasa and Hoshiko looked concerned. It was now very clear their concern was for very different reasons. "I had almost forgotten with all of the horrible news! Where is he!?" Tsukasa demanded. I smiled at them. "We had just been in the Tower. I was curious on how the children's mission had been going." "Really? What... did you see?" Hoshiko asked, pale as a sheet of paper. I just smirked. "Tsukasa can ask them themselves when they return at the end of the mission. It seems like they had a tough battle out there." I said. That was a shot across the bow. Tsukasa raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by those vague words, Sage?" he asked. I looked at him. "Maybe they ran into bandits. I saw that Hayashi and Osamu were fighting. They were a ways off from all of the others."
My words were honestly vague, but still true. Only Hoshiko would know what they truly meant. I wanted her to know that I knew exactly what was going on. She could not stop me. Tsukasa was my puppet lord. Now, it was going to be Masahiko. It was not going to be the case that I just let all my plans go to waste. The Akane Clan was not going to win under my watch. Hoshiko got up from where she was sitting. "I need to pray for my children's safe return." she said quickly as she excused herself. Tsukasa was not in the know, but he did know his wife was in distress. "I need to attend to my wife. Keep Masahiko safe. My bloodline will not end with me." he said. That was true. The next lord would be Masahiko. I looked over at Moto. "Let's go to the down to the tower. Your son is waiting." He was very nervous. I did not blame him. His master had died. So did 2 other concubines today. When he was secure in the underground tower, Masahiko and I told him everything. Moto was shocked and appalled. I would be too in his shoes. "Do not worry, I will make your son here the true heir." I said.
Now that the theory had already been made praxis, I knew exactly what to do. I had the 3 Player brothers to thank for this. Masayuki was still a neophyte. This meant he could go either way with his omega-alpha genotype. This was fine. If he could top some alphas, that would certainly tip the scales and help the alpha genes express themselves. Once that had happened, he could top 3 more alphas and become a real sigma. I would give him some new items to make sure he did a ton of damage as well as protect him from poison damage. We were in the Sage Tower. I could spawn in 4 level 15 human alphas right now. Moto had been level 8 from the servant work he had been doing when he had Masahiko. Combined with Tsukasa being level 24 at the time, Masahiko was born level 17. Saku and Hayashi were level 18 at birth. It was not a given that the younger boy would lose in a duel. I had personally taught Masahiko in the ways of the bow and blade. Giving them small missions to complete, I sent them all around the big castle. They got more exp. from my teachings as a result.
Obviously, Masahiko was trained to be stronger than Hayashi. He was level 22 when he left for the big mission. Masahiko was currently level 25. Then again, both Saku and Hayashi went full evil and murdered all of their alpha siblings. They probably leveled up quite a bit from that. It definitely would be a tough battle. It was crucial for our success that Masahiko was ready. Being a sigma male would tip the scales in his favor. He would be able to make both his brother and Hoshiko bend the knee. To do all that, I was going to need at least 4 separate alphas that were total bottoms that were down for taking alpha cock. I had not asked if Masahiko was a bottom or not. That did not matter at all here. For the sake of avenging his siblings, especially his full brother Takuya, he would need to man up and top these 4 at least. Once he was a true sigma, he could bottom to his hearts content. When I finished making them I presented the 5 to him and ran both him and Moto through the game plan. They were a bit skeptical, but were willing to do anything to get their revenge for Takuya. That was nice.
