You wrote "Refectio" and "tree".
The princess smiled, and so did Louise. The paperwork could wait for a while. For the moment, they had to work on getting back.
I know, I know. I'll finish that scene later, when I'm less tired.
Turns out I was wrong. The healing spell is Refectio, according to Vetus.

himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariGoing way back to the Yue's harem snippets
: Is "preamp proved" a misspelling of "preapproved," or is Konoka checking the decibel levels they reach during orgasm or something?
... Somehow, the latter wouldn't surprise me.
In any case, let me fix that last scene I f*cked up.
“What?”
Forget decorum and send it all to hell. Curiosity might have killed the cat, but at least that cat died knowing what the hell was going on.
“... I hadn't told you, had you?” Louise spoke, tentatively, to the princess who seemed utterly baffled. “I'm sorry, your Highness!” she said, bowing as low as she could.
Negi chuckled slightly. “Well, I did ask you to keep it a secret, Master.” He said, then he turned to address Henrietta again. “Indeed, I am the last heir of the Royal Family of Vespertatia.” The princess raised one eyebrow, as if saying 'That's all you're gonna say?', it was a pretty clear message. “By birthright, I am the King of Vespertatia, a fallen kingdom from my world. Working on reinstitution.”
Well... that did explain why Louise suddenly went from treating him normally to treating him with kiddy gloves. Though it only opened countless other cans filled with worms. Henrietta felt a headache coming and did her best to ignore it for the time being.
“I thought you said you were a prince.” Louise said, deadpan.
“Well, yes, I haven't been crowned, technically. But since there are no other members of the royal family, I am the king in all but title.”
He didn't seem to be lying as he sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. She'd known since long that he had to be some kind of influential figure from his home. Maybe a diplomat or something. A great general, perhaps, given his immense power.
But... a king? A royal, even? It was quite surprising. She suddenly felt somewhat bad for addressing him as Mr. Familiar.
“Please don't let this color your impression of me.” Negi said, smiling the most disarming smile he could.
Hah. She'd allow it to color her impression of him alright. Mostly because it really made her look at his actions with different eyes. After all, he was a man who thought nothing of small, menial tasks, a man who had no problem dirtying his own hands if it came down to it and willing to place the burden on his shoulders.
A rare sight for such an influential person.
She almost laughed to herself. That was the image of the ideal king. The ruler she wanted to be. Just, fair, strong. Someone who the people could depend on in times of need, who wouldn't be blind to the needs of the masses.
She couldn't help but smile at the two who seemed to be engaging in a discussion about whether or not he could call himself king if he wasn't crowned yet. In a sense, she couldn't really care less about that.
In the end, enough was achieved. She'd secured herself a powerful ally. Perhaps not enough to make up for the loss of the alliance with Germania, but maybe enough to turn the tide of the war in their favor. And, who knows, it would most likely do wonders for Tristain's economy as well.
“Ah, but I guess that calling you Mr. Familiar won't do anymore.” Henrietta said, wondering more to herself. “Right, Lord Negi?”
Negi pouted at her. “Please, don't do that.” He pleaded. “I'm just Negi Springfield.”
“Ah, yes, I do admit that having to maintain decorum does get annoying after a while, but it is necessary.” Henrietta pointed out, then turned to Louise. “Then again...”
Louise was mute under the scrutinizing stare of the princess.
Both she and Negi actually burst out laughing as Louise was reduced to a flustered mess.
"So, the girl you hit on the head with an oar, kidnapped, tried to rape and punched multiple times... Is a reincarnated Jesus."
"Yes."
"And you see nothing wrong with your actions."
"Of course not."
"Alright, I may be a mass murderer who grinds kitties into paste to feed little girls with, but at least I am not stupid. Hey, I wonder if I can buy some points with the big guy by killing you..."

You could always call him "Mr. Negi" or "Mr. Springfield", you know.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.Fyori-Josdyas Auricor. "Fyori-Josdyas" is a corruption of "fury" and "justice", respectively, while "Auricor" is Latin for "heart of gold".
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.@IANCE: The idiom is kid gloves, as in gloves made from the skin of a young goat. They were softer than other leather gloves, and thus associated with upper-class, dainty types.
Also, it's kind of bizarre that your Anemoi-class non sequiter below the snippet puts more emphasis on multiple punches than attempted rape.

You know you want to add loveThe only vampire in EOA is Eva. It's staying that way
However, in coming chapters, more people will be added to the Masquerade.
You know you want to add loveValvatorez is gonna be interesting when I get to him in GHQ. Will Eva actually respect a vampire her senior? Or will she trash talk him?
You know you want to add more tropes to THIS.Vampires are relatively common in URAE, even the daywalking variety, but most of them are pretty weak all things considered. Since Dracula, as in the Nasuverse, was never vampirized here, Eva would be one of the four or five most powerful vampires ever.
Yes, that means that despite other Hellsing characters existing there (Seras was once mentioned as being Takane's cousin, and Roberta was mentioned to be briefly tutored by Anderson), URAE never had an Alucard.
Technically, Demitri Maximoff from Dark Stalkers exists there and would be even more powerful than Eva, but since he's half vampire and half demon lord from mixed heritage, he doesn't quite count as a pure vampire.
@Anemoi: Evangeline isn't just a vampire; she's a True Ancestor-class vampire — and one who is also a master mage as well. A run-of-the-mill vampire would almost certainly be very much Cannon Fodder-level for Ala Alba... and that's assuming they're being fought in the night, when they should be at their peak power!

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.Considering how Nasu-verse True Ancestors relly on thier Superpower Lottery abilites, Eva actually taking the time to LEARN magic is a huge advantage. It's like Superman being trained as a ninja: huge boost over average joe flying brick Kyptonians.
...
I'm not going to write a fic where Superman becomes a ninja, for two reasons: all fics I've read that tried that used Naruto and SUCKED royally, and two, Supergirl is hotter and better to get shinobi-ed.
EDIT: do I have dyslexia or something? My typing keeps coming out weird when I actually look at it.

Protection for the foreseeable future, for starters, although the gist pretty much is he was tricked/fooled into it. Which doesn't make the wish less valid on pure technicality, since no one obliged him into it, but still, the point is pretty much showing both he's manipulable and he loses even when winning (and wins when he loses).
Like a Pactio with a Mage, he also gets an Artifact, to be seen shortly.
Considering a true Ninja is an Assassin, any Ninja Superman would be a ninja In Name Only anyway.
I know you'll bring Kaede, but technically, I guess she'd be easier to push into a 'necessary' kill than Superman ever would. It's just she's never had to go that far. But I'd buy her doing it if she thought there's no choice.

Three important questions: Does Skuld count as a loli, how does Sora react to this, and will there be K1/Skuld?
Will K1 get a bad Artifact because he has little 'synchonicity' with Skud, or does their connection from previous iterations somehow endure, slowly coming back to him as time goes by, including all sorts of naughty goddess orgy memories?

Update update update
Asuma sat quietly in the remoted, most obscure corner of the bath, submerged just up to his nose. He felt a vague desire to be some sort of fish hybrid so that he could submerge himself the rest of the way. After two solid hours of forcing himself to read through his textbook, his head felt like it was about to split in half. He had never spent that long focusing on something that required this much brainpower. Obviously, he hadn't quite been prepared. Suddenly the sound of the door slamming echoed throughout the room, along with the voices of at least half a dozen of his classmates. They probably weren't actually shouting at the top of their lungs in the most irritating tones possible, but that was all Asuma heard. He bubbled unhappily for a moment before clamoring out of the warm water into the cool air.
He shivered as he walked down the hallway to his room, wishing that he had brought his robe along. The door to his room was open. On of his roommates must have returned while he was soaking. He looked down at his watch. He blinked to make sure the time was right. Had he really been in the bath for forty-five minutes? He looked at his fingers. They were certainly pruny enough.
As he walked into the room, his head exploded. At least that was what it felt like to him. Something above his head exploded with a loud, smoky bang, leaving his ears ringing and a small amount of ash drifting down onto his head.
“Aw crap.” Kon frowned. His hair was rather blown back, and his face was smudged with soot. “I finally get a seal that doesn't explode when I put it, up and it just explodes when somebody walks through. I thought I had finally gotten it to work. I triple checked it, even.”
“I see you're back from your magic lessons...” Asuma rubbed his forehead. “How'd it go.”
“It was okay, I guess. I really suck making this charms.”
“What about Setsumaru? You wanted to talk to him, didn't you?”
“Oh right, he was okay, I guess. It was kind of like talking to a wall. I felt kinda like I was just learning stuff from a video or something. He knows what he's doing, though. He explained it pretty well.”
“But he wouldn't talk about anything else? I thought you used to be friends.”
“Well, we were. We haven't really talked in years. It's just weird. I think that if I just give him some time maybe he'll start acting more like he used to.”
“I wouldn't get your hopes up too much.” Asuma said. “He's been pretty much the same ever since he joined the class. I mean, I guess you know him better than I do, but still.”
“Well, we'll just see where it goes.” Kon said with a smile.
“Good luck with that, then.” Asuma grunted. “Now can you stop exploding things? My head is killing me, and I have to get up early tomorrow.”
“Just one more.” Kon held it up. “I already have it written and everything.”
“Fine, fine, just make it quick.”
“Okay, you might want to cover your ears...” Kon stuck it to the doorframe and quickly ducked away. There were a few seconds of silence. “Well it looks like it's working...”
“What is that thing supposed to do, anyway?”
“It's supposed to seal the doorway. Setsumaru says we're going to start with the defensive spells. I guess he doesn't want me shooting fireballs or anything.”
“Really, out of everybody in the class, you're probably the only one I'd trust with fireballs, honestly.”

Yeah, I do indeed, need to write a reaction for that bit.
Henrietta knows he is someone important, from information gathered by having people observe Louise and more importantly the people close to her. She knows that whoever he is, he holds some considerable weight in his world.
And that he's powerful as all f*ck, meaning she can't really say no to what he is proposing.
I've been debating myself so far. There are two paths I can take right now. On one path, The Dark Evangel descends upon Halkeginia and flings an iceberg at her favorite jerk. On the original path, however, not much of note is accomplished. One will be nightmarishly difficult to write, even if Evangeline is the kind of person who would prefer to stay back and watch the events unfold while laughing at everyone's stupidity. The other will be far, far easier. Which do you doods think I should go for? The first will probably have me greatly reducing the speed in which I update, since Evangeline is going to radically affect the plot and I'll need to replan almost everything.
On the other end, I totally want to write Negi being scared shitless and going on Vegeta's "We Are Dead" rant.
