Chapter 40 Letter

The fireas burning violently, but Gerald Wimbledon didn’t feel much of the heat

Although he was in a large tent round was also coe, he still felt cold His toes were especially cold, they were aler

“This damn place, even the urine freezes when you take a piss” he spat and stood up He grabbed the table on both sides with his hands When he used all his strength, so that even his hand became red from the effort, the six-foot square wooden table becaround

After he put the table at the edge of the fire pit, Gerald felt a lot more comfortable He took off his shoes and put his feet next to the fire, war them in the heat Hespread out the text scroll with his hands once more and continued to write the unfinished letter

“Dear lovely Olivia”

“It has been already a month since I came to Hermes, but of course, the Church prefers to call this place their new Holy City If it wasn’t for the Months of the Demons, I wouldn’t want to stay here for even a et back to you and share the warm bed with you once more”

“Faithful to the convention, the church isus It’s kind of ironic, isn’t it? Speaking about the church, I have to ad I can still remember the time when I was here for the first tio In addition to thehere besides a little church at the bottom of the mountains But now, they have not only opened up a road for a carriageway up the e-scale fortress city”

“During the summer, you really should come and take a lookat this city with rander than our Graycastle Do you reone there to watch “The Revenge of the Prince” You were so impressed with the theater’s architecture; the interior was so spacious that it was unbelievable”

“But after you see the Holy City’s new Hall of Military Affairs, you will think that the theater in Graycastle was only a shack It is hard to call it a building, I think it’s more like a piece of exquisite art It’s so spacious that it could s five theaters However, not a single pillar supports the exterior walls The walls are held up by eight behemoth-like demonic beast bones Between the curved bones are many smaller bones which are connected by hemp ropes, and the roof hovers in midair as if it were on a pole How could they think off a building like this?”

“And those bones, if they were stripped frouy’s size was certainly more than a hundred feet Probably only in Hermes will you be able to encounter such a monster But honey, please do not worry, even if the demonic beasts are massive, they are still the devil’s minions

In the presence of God’s Eye of Retribution, no evil can escape God’s jurisdiction! Whether it is a demonic beast, a witch, or the devil himself, their only fate is to turn into ashes!”

When he had written until here, Gerald Wi hands This was really strange, normally he could hold his 15 lbs heavy two-hand-sword all day, but while holding the pen he was only able to write a few sentence before he felt so tired He sht that he really was made for a yokel’s life

“When speaking of demonic beasts, I suddenly think of ned to Border Town, such a miserable place I’ Stronghold – even there, the dehold’s defense is comparable to Hermes But I think this is not his fault, even if I went to that place, I would only be able to take refuge in the stronghold Here it can be seen how unfair er brother perfore, he decided to let hiets that he hi means Since our mother’s death, it has become more and“

Gerald hesitated before he began to write the next part of his letter, he did not know if he should tell his real intentions to Olivia or not He paused for a moment, but then he decided to write it down If his plans ell, he should already have arrived at the Palace in Graycastle before she received his letter

“My dear, Astrologer Ansger was right If I do nothing, ultier observed the stars and what he said was, “The Star of the Apocalypse will burn for the next four ain” This tells me that I obviously have little tier like this”

“After today’s battle, I will quietly return to the capital and meet my father, and I will take my loyal soldiers with et riches like in the City of Golden Harvest, but instead there is no shortage of brave warriors here I just have to throw some coins around and ry wolves, and help oal Of course, I do not want to start a revolt I just want to personally ask ave the orders to start the battle for the throne In the end, as it that let hiht of inheritance?”

“Ansger has already arranged everything for er The day when I beco is the day that I will marry you as my Queen If I fail miserably… you shouldn’t come back to the capital, but instead, you should stay in the Kingdom of Eternal Winter “

“Love you, Gerald”

He carefully folded the letter and put it in an envelope, then sealed it ax After checking it a few tiuard quickly entered the tent
