- I straightened my uniform as the new lord of Lescatie, as I mentioned earlier it looked like the uniform a 19th-century monarch would wear, the colonel uniform was being washed and in some parts repaired. Druella was behind me, some 2 meters behind, fixing her ceremonial dress, which consisted of a red tunic, a golden undergarment and a head covering, the dress was made, under my recommendation, by the arachne royal weavers residing in the castle, she turned to me with a smile as she posed with the dress.
- -So, my sweetie how do I look?- She asked with a playful tone
- -You look beyond great Dru. I was right in telling your weavers to make that dress.
- -Yes, you were Juanito.
- She started to walk towards me with an elegant walk and offered her hand.
- -Would you, gentleman, invite this young and fair maiden to a dance?- She said on a mock formal tone
- I gave a small smile as I replied.
- -Why yes my lady.
- I took her hand and began to do a dance, we went on for about a minute before we stopped, after that I said.
- -Do you think I will give a good impression? I was only a military officer 5 days ago.
- Druella ruffled my hair before saying.
- -I am sure you will sweetie, mamono do not care much about first impressions since we can read a man’s character intuitively, even Emet managed well in his first feast and he was a nervous wreck the whole time, the poor boy.
- That reassured me a little bit, knowing that there is a low chance of fucking up makes me a bit calmer. I checked myself one last time before asking Dru
- -Should we go? I'm sure they are waiting for us.
- -Yes, of course, let us go to our feast.
- We went out of the room and started walking through the halls of the palace straight to the dining room where the feast is being held, representatives from many demon realms are going to be present so it would be a good time to create connections and make alliances for the spreading of the future church. Of course, I also want to relax for a bit, but that isn’t really a priority, I have to also study the newfound powers I have been given by the Lord, I know that they are going to be essential should I have to fight the heroes of the Chief God, guns can only take me so far. Eventually, we reached the doors that lead to the dining room, Druella opened them first and gestured me to go before her.
- -Gentlemen first, sweetie.- she stated with a sweet tone.
- I raised an eyebrow, this must be a custom in this world, since the gender role in this world is somewhat reversed at least in mamono society, I went in first regardless and I was treated with a sight I only saw in movies, dozens of mamono and men were present, all of them dressed in clothes as varied as the people wearing them, and in the long table in the centre of the room there looked like there was enough food to feed an entire city and still have more left. I have never been very good at parties even in small ones, so I did the only thing I could do and stayed near Druella who titled her head with a quizzing look
- -What is the matter sweetie? You don’t seem too comfortable right now.
- -That’s because I'm not a `party´, I was always the one that awkwardly hung out in the corner.
- Druella then had a small frown in her face, but that changed when an understanding smile appeared in her face.
- -Then just stay with me Juanito, and talk with whoever I am talking with, Ill get you out of that habit soon enough.
- I nearly sweatdropped at that prospect, I don’t want to burden her too much, I really mean it when I say I'm not good at social events, I always have some way of turning the occasion awkward.
- -D-Dru is that a good idea? I don’t want to burden you too much.
- She snorted at that sentence as if the idea of me being a burden to her was a joke.
- -As if you could ever be a burden to me, sweetie.
- And with that, she went over to a man dressed in a white tunic with a dark angel with her combat armour next to him. They noticed Druella and did a small bow before she greeted them
- -Greetings Thomas and Belach, I hope I didn’t inconvenience you with this feast.
- -Not at all lady Druella.- The man referred to as Thomas stated.- In fact, we were looking forward to meeting the man you call your husband, we have heard some rumours about your husband that are honestly quite interesting.
- Thomas turns to me now with a polite smile present in his face.
- -My lord Juan, it is a great privilege to finally meet you.
- -The privilege is mine, Mr Thomas.
- The dark angel also presented herself.
- -And I am the dark angel Belach, guardian and wife of Sir Thomas.- she said in a dignified voice.
- I turn to the dark angel as I acknowledge her greeting. Then I turn back to Thomas.
- -You mentioned some rumours earlier, what are those rumours about?
- -One of the rumours, milord, is that you apparently come from another world and you were summoned here by the Demon Lord herself.
- -That is no rumour, it is in fact very real.
- Thomas widened his eyes after I stated that
- -Fascinating, to have travelled to this world and been summoned by the Demon Lord. Truly fascinating, but another rumour and this one is more...Outlandish is that you claim the Chief God is not as she says she is, in the sense that she isn’t the creator of Geas.
- I smiled at that, I really have grown fond of spreading the truth of what that Apostate is in truth.
- -She isn’t, she is actually a rebel from something far greater than herself.
- His eyes were now the size of dinner plates. Belach also seemed surprised for a moment before maintaining her expressionless face again
- -M-My Lady, is he saying the truth.
- Druella giggled at his expression like a mother would giggle at a child pouting.
- -Yes, I also saw what He was. To make a long story as short as possible, He is the Ultimate Creator, the Chief God is a rebel that has brought humans to this world and now He wants the Chief God to pay for her transgressions.
- A rather uncomfortable but short silence took place between us, so much for starting this party with no awkwardness, I pinched the bridge of my nose before turning to the shocked man desperately processing the information, before it dawned on me, an opportunity to put in place the foundations of the Church. I turned to him and asked.
- -Would you and your wife mind if you stayed here in this castle of mine a while longer, preferably at least until I say so?
- Druella looked at me curiously, attempting to deduce what I was planning. Thomas stuttered, seemingly trying to process the sudden revelation and my offer of staying at the castle.
- -W-S-Sure my lord, but why?
- Because you are a former priest who can help me establish the One True Church in this world and save the souls of everyone in this planet, or at least that is what I would like to say, but it must be said in private, I still don’t know if the Order has spies able to infiltrate the demon realms and stay unaffected.
- -I have a proposal to you specifically, I am in need of a man with your talents and your knowledge of the Order’s faith in the Chief God.
- His look softened at those words.
- -A-Alright, I humbly accept your offer milord.
- -Very well, now go and enjoy this feast, the night is still young after all.
- -Certainly, thank you, milord.
- Thomas and his dark angel bodyguard/wife bowed down and went to another place in the room to mingle with the guests. I inwardly smiled to myself as I tried to contain a giggle, I have attained an opportunity to get my first missionary and priest, with him I can really get things started, he can preach to the people while I set up the foundations of the Church and plot that reprobate’s demise, such a wonderful feeling of joy and accomplishment I felt, Druella then turned to look at me with a knowing smile showing her pearl white teeth and narrowed eyes.
- -You sly dog you, you heard he was a former priest from the Order and just couldn’t help yourself, you plan on converting Thomas are you, my dear?
- Not passing away this moment of banter I only gave her a smile and started to act.
- -Why, whatever made you think that way Dru, I only plan on giving that man a good meal and a new purpose in life after we take care of the Lescatian remnants.
- At that Druella snorted, now knowing my plan, she inquired further.
- -And what would you have him be, a preacher in Lescatie where he will teach the word of the Creator and gather followers, or a missionary on a daring mission to turn the Order against the Chief God?
- -I am thinking of making him a missionary, but I will send him to neutral lands and Lescatie first, I will take care of subverting the Order when I have the resources to do so, but first I have to establish the Church in friendly lands.
- With that said we continued to participate in the gala. We talked to numerous guests, many of which I ended up liking them, like the Zipangu representative named Suzuki Raku, who was extremely good-natured and an overall interesting, or the cupid named Babie and his young husband, with her upbeat nature and humour made me clench my sides. And I also managed to talk to a gazer, who was enjoying herself with some of the drinks available, she noticed me and rapidly came over to me.
- -Good evening milord.
- -Good evening. Who are you?
- -I am Leslie, a gazer and a renowned researcher, you see I have heard that you came from another world, knowing that I am very interested in the history of your world, your culture, your past, your beliefs, everything. Please, milord, let me interview you
- I chuckled as I prepared to answer her questions, what followed was a short interview, due to me asking her to make it as short as possible, in the end, she was satisfied with what she got, but I had questions for her.
- -Tell me, what is a researcher like you doing in a gala that normally isn’t a place for a researcher.
- She chuckled awkwardly, her one eyes closing while the other eyes attached to her long tentacles stood still.
- -I have received the knowledge of ruins under the capital of Lescatie, rumours among my peers say it dates back longer than the times of the first demon lord, I simply must know what is underneath the city. The artefacts, the texts, such knowledge.- she began fantasizing on what she would find in those ruins
- I narrowed my eyes. longer than the first Demon Lord? Could it be?
- -Leslie, was it?
- She snapped out of her fantasy as her eyes, both attached to her head and in the ends of her tentacles suddenly snapped open and looked at me
- -Y-yes milord?- she asked nervously as she thought she has transgressed on some rule
- -Relax, I am not going to chastise you, I want a favour actually
- She relaxed her posture somewhat as her eyes relaxed too
- -Would it be possible for you to send me a series of reports of what you find in those ruins once you enter, including where to find them? I have a feeling that they contain something that I might need in the future, consider this also a blessing from the husband of Druella to access those ruins. Also, should you need any equipment, I will pay for it
- Her eyes brightened at that, and a smile appeared on her face.
- -Y-yes, of course, milord, if I have your authority behind me, I can certainly make an expedition in the ruins, thank you, milord.
- -It's nothing, just be sure to be as detailed in those reports as possible, I will go to those ruins as soon as I can, which will probably be when I finish dealing with what’s left of Lescatie if everything goes right that is. Now go and have fun, I'm sure you have work to do tomorrow
- She bowed as her eye-limbs looked to the ground, then she went past me to mingle with the other guests. For the whole feast, I rejoined Druella and stayed by her side for the whole gala. When the gala finished and all the guests left and we bid them farewell at the entrance of the castle a sigh escaped my lips.
- -I'm exhausted, but I guess I can’t go to sleep yet right Dru?
- She giggled as she looked at me with those ruby red eyes
- -You’re right sweetie, you still have to help me with my little cleanup.
- -I guess so, lead the way Dru.
- We walked out of the dining room to the wide stone halls of this castle, it was nearing evening at this point, but I took a long nap anticipating this day, that didn’t mean that the feast didn’t drain me, but I have to put my own feelings aside, for now, I have to help my wife take what is left of Lescatie, then I have to meet up with Thomas and Leslie, Druella lead me to a room at the end of a hallway not too far from our bedroom, we opened the door and I saw what looked like a command room from the medieval period, there was a map of the whole known world, a map of Lescatie and her provinces with a few pieces representing her army and the remnants of the Lescatie Royal Army, and there were other mamono in the room, three as it looks like, a blonde vampire, a manticore and a silver-haired demon, which she saluted when she saw Druella
- -My mistress, thank you for joining us.
- -Now, now ladies, I'm not alone, I have brought in a guest.
- Their eyes now drifted towards me as I put in the military persona I learned in my time as a colonel
- Colonel Juan Moreno, former colonel of the Spanish Army and Colonel of the Infantry Regiment Saboya of the National and Popular Army after my rebellion and now Lord of Lescatie alongside my wife, it's a pleasure to meet you all.
- The demon smiled
- -Thank you, milord, it is a privilege to finally meet the husband of my mistress. Come, you are also part of the meeting, mistress Druella spoke highly of your career as a general, or colonel as you call it.
- I approached the map of Lescatie in the table and I saw what I assume were the armies of the mamono assembled here, they were arrayed in a half-moon formation nearly encircling the mountains which the remnants of the Lescatian Royal Army were hiding in, in those mountains were a number of villages that were between the single valley of the mountains, ahh, I see, it's the battle of Covadonga all over again.
- -As you can see the remnant men in number in the low thousands, we can break through their lines using the weight of our army to enter their village fast and force them to fight there.- said the manticore general
- -What? You want us to massacre our army? They are not stupid they surely have archers at the mountains ready to turn our women into pincushions the moment we appear in that valley.
- -That’s why we have to go fast, we will use your dullahan cavalry to secure the neck of the valley.- replied the manticore.
- Bickering between the two started before Druella intervened
- -Enough! I will not have bickering right now, we will discuss our plan like civilized mamono.
- The two generals quieted down after that, I cleared my voice to gain the attention of everyone
- -The vampire is right, that valley is a massacre waiting to happen, no amount of speed will change that.- I said with certainty and authority in my voice
- -If I may inquire, what makes you say that milord.- inquired the vampire
- -I have seen this before in my world, a battle so similar it's practically identical
- -What are you talking about sweetie?-asked Druella
- -Druella remember when I told you about how my country was formed?
- -Yes, you told me a battle happened in the north of your country on where a man named Don Pelayo won against all odds, why?
- -I never said how he won, to make a long story short, he had a contingent of his best troops with himself at the lead guard the centre of the valley but as a bait more than just the main army, the Muslims took the bait and when they attacked the archers posted at caves on the mountains fired shot after shot against the grouped Muslims, they killed thousands that day even though only 10 men including Pelayo survived that battle, then he carved a kingdom on the north of the country and named it Asturias, and that is how he won a battle against possibly 5000 men against 300 men, that is known as the mythical Battle of Covadonga.- I explained with a grin in my face
- The eyes of the vampire and the devil were a bit wide after that fact.
- -So yes, miss uh.
- -Elisabeth milord
- -So yes, miss Elizabeth, the remnant army surely has archers posted in caves and cliffs on those mountains, what I suggest is find a way in those mountains with dedicated teams to clear out and snuff out the archer or have magicians prepare defensive spells on whatever line troops we are using, are there any magicians in the army?
- -Yes, milord, the girls in my army can prepare defensive spells that can affect up to 10 mamono.-replied the silver-haired demon.
- -Good, but just in case I also advise to flush out the archers or the troops at those caves. There are caves there right, or places where they can place archers right?
- Yes milord, I have wurms that can tunnel through the mountains and prepare those tunnels for my troops to enter through.- replied the manticore.
- -Great, so now what's left is to know if the remnants are being led by anyone important, anyone knows about that.
- Silence quickly took over the room and an oppressive tension made itself known throughout.
- -Rumours say a hero leads them, a young lad by the name of Albert.- replied the demon
- I narrowed my eyes when I heard that, a hero, so soon? Well, I knew this wasn't going to be easy.
- -Let me guess, we know next to nothing about him.-I said as a matter-of-factly
- -Yes milord, he is a complete wildcard.
- Another sigh escaped my lips ‘Now it's when things get complicated’ this Albert could tip the whole battle in the favour of the Lescatians, if the lore on heroes are true, I or maybe Druella will surely have to fight him, and I don't want Druella to put herself at risk
- -Well, in that case, are there countermeasure against magic? The “holy type”?
- -Yes, we can drain him of his magic using a specific spell but few of my magicians know it, about 10 of them. replied the demon
- -Have those at the reserve and order them to start that spell only when he shows up.
- Druella nudged me while she smiled what looked like a proud smile on her face, if only she knew what I was planning, then she cleared her throat to gather the attention of the generals
- -Splendid, it seems we have everything prepared ladies, we will go to the mountains at dawn until then get some rest.
- -Misstress.- They all replied
- As they all went out of the room we waited for them to leave, when they all left Druella gave me a surprise hug from the back
- -Look at you, sweetie, and here I thought that it would take hours, I’m so proud of you, with your wits we can take the whole Order in less than a month all thanks to you.- she praised while kissing my quickly blushing cheeks.
- -I-it's nothing Dru, I just have seen this before and it surprised me in a pleasant way, I'm just glad I can help you.
- -Sweetie, you didn’t help, you did the whole thing by yourself, I didn’t need to say a word, come on, let’s get to bed, you deserve a good night’s rest and the love of your darling wife after this.- she whispered on the last part, which sent shivers down my spine.
- We exited the room and headed straight for our bedroom, during the whole time I was actually less than calm, I was nervous on the inside, I have practised martial arts during my military career and thanks HEMA I’m proficient in using a sword and a lance, but who knows how heroes are trained in MGE, for all I know he could be trained as a spartan, good thing I thought of draining his magic first if not I would be right fucked, but I will take my pistol and if it's necessary I will blow his brains out, anything to keep Druella out of it, I just got myself married and I will not endanger my wife needlessly. We reached our bedroom and I plopped myself to the bed exhausted.
- -Now, now, sweetie, you cant go to sleep yet, you still have your duties.- said my wife in a sultry voice as I saw her in all her naked glory slowly approaching the bed, and me.
- On the next morning, I woke up with a smiling light purpled skinned lilim with her head in my chest while smiling, Druella fell asleep after our little session rather quickly, I really wanted her sleep a little more but we had a battle to win today, I shook her lightly, her eyes furrowed before they opened, the smile still present on her face.
- -Good morning sweetie.- she greeted sweetly
- -Good morning Dru.
- She reached to give me a kiss in the lips, it lasts for 5 seconds before she went leaned back.
- -Let’s get dressed, we have kept your girls waiting long enough.- I said, reminding her of what we have to do.
- -Agreed sweetie.
- And so we got off the bed, I opened the wardrobe at the right and there was my colonel uniform, newly washed and my service pistol, I put on the uniform with the cap and put the service pistol in one of my pockets while I pull out a mag from the bag. I appreciate the arachne, they managed to even add the seal of the Demon Realm, a white feather going through a heart between the seal of Spain and the seal of the Spanish army, a rising eagle between St Jacob’s Cross. I look over to Druella and see that she has her dark purple armour on, with a black tiara on her head, she looked like a stereotypical villain from Warhammer fantasy or 40k.
- -A carriage should be waiting for us, this will be your trial by fire, don’t worry though, if you are ever in a bind I will be there to take you out.
- I took my munitions belt with my holster and we exited the bedroom and walked towards the throne room where outside of it, our carriage should be waiting, while doing so I made a mental summary of what should happen, the manticore general will make the wurms bore a hole into the mountain so that troops can pass through and secure the caves and the cliffs from the archers, then a vanguard of minotaurs and manticores will charge into the village filled with the remnants of the Lescatian Royal Army and take the village in the centre of the valley, then comes the hero, that is the hard part, he should come out to where the demon mages could drain him of his magic for a while, I will try to capture him but should I have to I will put him down like a rabid dog. Druella and I reached the throne room and as we opened we continued to the large wooden doors that were the main entrance to the throne room, we opened and in the courtyard in front of us a black ornate carriage waited for us, we climbed down the smooth, black stone stairs leading down and entered the carriage, we didn't say anything during most of the journey, I was making a prayer to St George, patron saint of soldiers to intercede on my side and Druella was watching me silently, I don’t exactly know what she was thinking but after what appeared to be 10 minutes she talked.
- -I can tell you are worried sweetie, do you need to talk about it?.- she asked with a caring tone
- -It is fine, I was just praying to one of the saints.- I replied, truth to be told I was worried on a large level, especially if I have to fight a Order hero, but she doesn’t need to worry about that.
- -If you insist, but my offer still stands.
- 5 minutes after she said that we arrived to our destination, the carrier stopped slowly and we opened the doors, outside was the largest gathering of mamono I have ever seen, and of many different species, demons, minotaurs, wurms, centaurs, most of them were here, they were arranged in ranks with their gear on, looks like they were ready to start without us. One of the generals I saw at the meeting yesterday, Elizabeth I think she was, came to me dressed in her own armour, a slim looking knights armour with no helmet.
- -Milord, we are ready to start when you and the Mistress command it.
- I looked over to Druella with an encouraging look.
- -You make the honours Dru, this is your army after all.
- She smiled at me, flattered at my gesture.
- -Our army sweetie, but if you wish for it who am I to deny you?.- she asked rhetorically
- We went up the green hill, in front of the army, we passed through the ranks as they made space for us and we stopped at the top of the hill, some 30 seconds away from the valley, the wurms were waiting for the signal first from her mistress, Druella raised her right hand to the level of her head, a tense silence was present and for a few seconds it seemed like all of eternity passed right through us, and as if a divine hammer, she lowered it abruptly, and the wurms slithered rapidly towards the side of the mountains for 10 long seconds and tunneled through, shortly after vampires, living armour and dullahans were entering the tunnels made by the wurms, eagerly rushing towards the caves and cliffs were they will surely find men they can marry.
- -So far so good, but I have to say it's a bit anticlimactic.- I idly commented, I expected a bit more, I guess the adrenaline rush I got from making the coup in Granada knowing that anything could go wrong was not as big as here.
- -Whatever you say sweetie, I for once am glad this is going like a hitch.- replied Druella as the vampire approached us.
- -Milord, mistress, our forces have taken the caves and the top of the mountains in the valleys, they have found 2000 archers in each side, they were swiftly taken down.
- 2000? I guess I forgot that they mentioned the army numbered in the low thousands.
- -Good, now have them switch places with the dark elves, I want archer over those caves.- I ordered
- -Yes milord.- she swiftly replied
- Now I looked towards the rest of the army, smiling with anticipation I raised one of my hands to make the sign to charge, as I raised the mamono tensed up, knowing they will get into the fray soon.
- -Charge!- I screamed as I pointed my hand to the valley, and behind me the mamono were charging down the entrance of the valley, making a small tremor and kicking up a dust cloud as they were running, I felt powerful as they run right besides me, avoiding me as they ran, like water avoiding a rock in the river. Soon enough only me, Druella, Elizabeth and 10 demon mages behind us.
- -How about we go to one of the cliffs and oversee the battle from there, we need to see the hero for stage 3 to be possible, don’t we Elisabeth?
- -Yes milord, I will teleport us to one of the cliffs at once, please come to my side.- she replied
- Druella and me went to her side, between her and the 10 mages, the vampire general pointed her hand down and a purple magic circle appeared, a purple light was all I saw for 2 seconds and then it passed, I saw then that we were on top of a cliff in one of the mountains, I looked down and I could see the battle going on, heavily muscled minotaurs clashing with chain mailed spearmen, demons waving through the attacks of knights and immobilizing them with a simple spell that put chains around them, manticores breaking swords with their bare hands and throwing spikes protruding from their tails, the village was getting overwhelmed, and with that the army was getting surrounded, but, something was wrong, I couldn’t see the hero anywhere.
- -Miss Elizabeth, how can we identify the hero?- I asked
- -Outwardly he looks nothing special, but his holy aura is more concentrated, strange, I can’t seem to detect him.- she said in a confused tone.
- Suddenly I felt someone grab me by the neck, I widened my eyes and instinctively reached my pistol, but I was so surprised that I pulled the trigger before i could point it at the offender, resulting in the pistol firing at the rapidly cloudy sky. That seemed to scare the offender as it seemed to let me go, we all looked behind us to see a purple-haired, white-skinned boy who seemed younger than me with plated armour and a sword that exuded some golden light, Druella readied her magic with a frown as did the mages and the vampire, I pointed my gun at the boy as I said.
- -If it wasn't because I shot before time, I would have been dead, smart of you to not be in the battle though.- I commended him, I give credit where it's due
- -I normally do not resort to cowardly methods, but knowing mamono you had plans for me.
- -And you assume correctly, look boy, I don’t want to hurt a child, come quietly and I promise you won’t suffer any misdeeds while you are captive.- I reasoned.
- The boy just smiled however
- -Are you scared traitor? You should be, you are in front of a hero of the Chief God.- he snarled
- -The Lord is the stronghold of my life, with Him I fear nothing, especially with my wife at my side, I take it you wont come quietly
- He shook his head by his side, behind him I saw the mages were prepared to fire their spells, I looked towards Elizabeth as if to order the mages to fire, something I shouldn't have done, the hero charged at me with his sword pointed at my diaphragm, looking back rapidly I acted fast and shot another round towards his lung, the mages also fired their spells but the damage was done, the sword reached me and the most pain I felt in all my life wracked my body, I fell down to the ground with the hero on top of me, grunting heavily, the bullet must have reached him.
- -Juan!
- -Milord!
- I heard the screams of Druella and Elizabeth, I weakly pushed the hero aside while looking at the sword, it didn’t pass the whole way through but it pierced an area near my diaphragm, he must have missed when the bullet hit him, I took the sword and tried to take it off, Druella ran to my side and crouched down and took the sword out, as she did she pressed on my wound, tears staining her black/red eyes, my vision started going black and my hearing was disappearing, I found myself looking on a black void for what seemed an eternity, I felt nothing and all I saw was a void blacker than space
- I woke up in a bed with blinds at the sides, the room was of the same black stone as Druella’s palace in Lescatie, a look at myself revealed that I was naked but with a big difference, I had a bloody bandage in my midsection that wrapped all around, from one side of my stomach to another, “that guy must have made a very nasty wound” I thought bitterly. I heard steps coming from the far side of the room and a shadow made by the torches in the walls approached me, a few second later I saw it wasn't a nurse, it was my wife, she had what looked like dry tears in her cheeks and a sad expression that quickly morphed into a smile as I to smiled.
- -Sweetie!.- she screamed as she hugged me, tears staining
- -I was so worried sweetie, I thought you wouldn't come back, that nasty man hurt you bad, I'm sorry for not protecting you.- she sobbed, tears streaming down her light purple face.
- -No Dru, I‘m the one that has to apologise, I was too careless and that nearly cost me, you did nothing wrong.- I reassured her
- -No, it is, I could have felt his aura more easily, especially knowing the aura of heroes…- she insisted, continuing insisting it was her fault
- -I knew of the risks, I knew I would get hurt sooner or later, don’t be sad because of a mistake that I did.- I replied, she really did nothing wrong, I made several mistakes in that confrontation.
- Druella stopped crying, smiling through her tears, and gave me a kiss.
- -You are too kind Juan.-then her eyes became more determined, but with a strange tone with them, one which i couldn't quite put.- from now on I promise to be more cautious, I will follow you like your shadow, and if I cant be there I will send only the best bodyguards.- she said with a steel in her voice.
- I let out air through my nose and smiled, where the hell was a woman like her all this time? Mamono truly take devotion to another level.
- -I wouldn’t expect anything less from you Dru.
- --- Druella ---
- My sweetie then got up from the medical bed, I excused myself and went out of the infirmary while I went back to our room, I really can’t believe I nearly killed him, me, when I promised myself I wouldn’t have my husband suffer because of me, I can still see that rat bastard thrust his sword towards my sweetie, and the pained expression he had while blood seeped out from his wound, unforgettable, is this what husbands feel like when their wives get hurt?
- No, I will not let it happen, this won't happen again, I will not stand by and let my sweetie get hurt, my husband, my mate, I will protect you, sweetie, I will guarantee your success in bringing the Creator in this world and most of all, I will guarantee your happiness, I saw your dreams, I know you want to be a father, I will be the mother of our children, and anyone that dares try to hurt you again…. I will kill them.
