âBut then again, your shameful voices could be heard outside. Look at those poor guards.ââBartolo
âAre they moaning so loud?ââAlums
âObviously! I even heard you say, âQuiet! Or weâll be heard outside.ââ âBartolo
Bartolo imitated my voice when he said that.
I can only smile and take a sip of wine.
âWhere are the guards?ââAlmus
âFor your sake, I made them withdraw temporarily. I assumed the role of your guard to ensure you wonât be heard by anybody.ââBartolo
âUh-huh, but you heard it.ââAlmus
âAhaha, donât mind it. This is caring from your faithful Bartolo.ââBartolo
Bartolo made a face at me.
We drank the wine and looked at the sky.
Since in this world, the moon is close to earth, the night sky is very bright.
But compared to Japan, the sky here is darker with a lot of bright stars.
Both of us fell into silence.
âBetween me and the Rosyth royalty, which is more important?â
Bartolo looked grave. He put the cup down on the ground and stared straight into my eyes.
âWhat do you mean?ââBartolo
âJust as it is. Is Bartoloă»Pompeii loyal to Almusă»Să»Rosyth? Or to the Rosyth royalty ?ââAlmus
âI will be loyal to Almusă»Să»Rosyth. Furthermore, I probably will be opposed to Raymondă»Rosyth in becoming the king of Rosyth Kingdom.ââBartolo
I drained the cup and turned to Bartolo.
âWhen the war is overâŠâ
âPlease stop! My king, I have a wifeâŠâ
âThis is a serious matter! Hear me out please!â
Bartolo smiled and filled my cup with wine.
âIâm sorry. Well, what do you want to say?âŠâŠDo you want to establish Prince Angus as the Prince Edward?ââBartolo
Bartoloâs eyes looked at me sharply.
âI wonât do such a stupid thing like divide the country. Although I love Angus too, but it isnât good for him. Tetra⊠may have some complaints, but she will surely understand. She had already prepared for it.â
âSo, whatâs your decision?â
âI will establish Juliaâs son as the Crown Prince. Itâs time to make this decision. Only then, can our country become one.â
âWell, I understand.â
Bartolo knelt down, lowered his head, and said:
âMy King. Your official wife is Julia. If you have decided, I will be your sword no matter where you are!â
âThanks! Bartoloă»Pompeii. I wonât forget your loyalty.
I smiled, then turned my sight to the sky again.
A streak of lightning flashed through the sky.
I drew my sword quickly and warded off the things that flew towards Bartolo.
I gave a look to Bartolo and he drew his sword at once.
âAll this because you withdrew the guards.â
ââŠthatâs because you were lovemaking on the night before the battle.â
I stared at the darkness and felt nothing.
But actually, there is something. There should be something!
Suddenly I heard the grinding as rubble shifted.
I saw something flying towards my neck by a hairâs breadth.
I cut it down with my sword and grabbed it There was a bodyâs feel and temperature from it.
I gave it a pull without hesitation.
âDid you know that a spider can regrow limbs?â
Itâs a womanâs voice.
Wearing a black cloth and blending into the dark.
From the plump breasts, I recognized that it is a woman.
Bartolo compared the broken arm in my hand with new arm on the spider woman.
In such a short time, she regrew a new arm, furthermore, thereâs no difference with her old one.
âIâve heard this word many times. However, whatever you say, a human cannot be a monster.â
At that moment, I suddenly had a strong sense of danger. I rapidly pressed down Bartoloâs head at the same time I lowered mine.
Something flew over our heads.
âItâs amazing that you can avoid my attack. You have good sense.â
She closed the distance in a second with a sharp knife in her hand.
âUsing an assassin. What a cowardly way.â
Although my Dragon Damascus sword can cut her knives apart easily like cutting fruit, but it seemed like she had unlimited knives.
With sharp intuition, I avoided something that nearly cut off my feet.
âI seeâŠit seems you have some sort of divine blessing.â
âHahaha, are you kidding? Does a monster have a sacred divine blessing? My power is much more dirty.â
âFrom the kingâs camp!â
The soldiers finally noticed the commotion.
âIt would be better to target on your wives instead of you. Iâll stop here and come back.â
However, I noticed that thereâs something ahead of me that was similar to a spider web.
When I touched the thread, my fingers bled instantly.
Things are looking tough.
For now, I will heighten military alert and sleep with Tetra and Julia every night to ensure their safety.
