We were overjoyed to tour the garden with the Goddess Thus, we all nodded in agreeh I felt great exciteerness was da that it may turn out to be another test for us
I noticed behind Princess Charlotte was a e vase and another who held a tray containing several golden scissors
Oh, God, it see ikebana event I wished that she would not pick me later on, lest I execute an act that I was not proficient in I kept on picking the flowers I spotted and fancied before putting it into my pocket
It was a short journey to the garden Princess Charlotte and the three princes led the group in front, while the rest of thea certain distance away froradually increased till the people leading the group could no longer be seen after taking a turn
Though I did not know of the situation between the princes and Princess Charlotte, the people within our bureaucrat group did not share any friendly glances
They had solare at me I would teach them a lesson but to start as the question
I hinted atmy way in between the two men from the Symbia empire
”Ah, bro…” I bumped my chest into the one on the left who looked like a robed civil servant, ”Such an excellent taste for clothing and that choice of color How I envy you”
”Ya! Yeah!”
”Excellent color!”
”Indeed, such good taste!”
My brothers praised
”It's the outfit given to us by the teuy froze for a moment, ”We all have the same one What difference is there to see about the color of the robe?”
”The one on you just looks so different…” I pointed on his robe, ”Bro, your figure is sliant than othersFurther that we simply cannot attain…”
”Ya! Ya!”
”Natural and elegant, handsome like hell!”
”What a great disposition!”
He froze once again and was left speechless but still kept his guard up
However, my expression became ever so sincere, ”I am a civil servant like you, but why is it that I am made to wear a suit of armor?”
He shook his head
”During the bath, the robe they gave me didn't resemble yours one bit!” I said resentfully, ”It didn't fit my physique at all How could I possibly show et-up? Without a choice, I had to wear this heavy armor! Brother, I can see how you are truly valued by the temple from the quality of your robe”
”See: the cloth, snitches, edges and collar…” I co forward and whispered into his ear, ”Let's work together and get rid of the Tansey people!”
”Ah, yes, of course!” He already had such poor thoughts in hislike he was a close friend ofit out!”
”But before that,” My hand latched onto his collar and I grinned, ”I'll have to get rid of you…”
Seeing ers clutched onto his collar, his expression became terrified After several , his linen robe had a cut ranging from his collar to his stomach
”Ah, bro!” I stepped back away frohtfully, ”Your robe is torn!”
”You! You… I… I…”
He lamented over the torn pieces of cloth and covered his exposed chest with both hands helplessly His eyes flashed with pure innocence
The other Symbian military officer turned around immediately to see what had happened His look of anxiety drove me to leave him then and there
”Yeah! Yeah!”
”Broken! It's broken!”
”What should we do?”
While my brothers jeered, they painted on the silver armor of the Symbian military officers who arrived afterwards with black
Aest and thickest one was the handiwork of Moya Wilder just painted in random motions Similar to what I had done, Jack painted the words 'I LOVE '
The two Tanseytheyto reveal the teeping azed at each other but refused to ith us and continued to stride ahead of us
I continued to advance with uys before the hype died down
However, the Tansian men kept their distance away from us and would rather die than let us approach the so to ensure their safety But, is it truly safe?
Harrumph! I will show you the ruthlessness of my actions
The two kept eyeing us as they strode ahead They slowed doe slowed our pace and quickened their steps e quickened ours
I grinned and gathered my brothers around for a discussion The four us had our heads together and whispered to one another, raising our head to glihtened them and made them act as if every bush and tree in the vicinity were their enemies
Such kind of trick was no stranger to anyone who grew up in the ether, the tricks they had up their sleeves toout a play like this was then a skill used for isolation, deception and intimidation
Alas, these h by the nobility who grew up in high walls As toddlers, they played with their toys of silver They spoke in poetic verses at the age they started to run and lusted after authority and sex when they learned how to ju nature as of today was fostered by ht hie, he was as much of an imbecile as the lot of nobility here
What was e of these tricks It required one's coe, expression and action using their heart and soul Seamless cooperation between allies was of immense importance
For exaety birds that constantly turned around in panic They anticipated the upcouish Such feelings were amplified when they came across such a storm that they had never encountered before
We were near the garden and a row of green foliage lined it Their tender shoots intercrossed and forarden
I told reed coaze onto the two bureaucrats from Tansey I bet theythem
Those two knew they couldn't be careless at this point of time Thus, they turned around to face us and walked backward It was as if ere the hunters and they were our prey
One of Princess Charlotte's an to approach us due to our extended absence
The clock was ticking!
”Five… four… three…” I counted out loud using a voice audible to everyone in our vicinity, whereas lared green and bared their teeth to er The two extrehtened imbeciles stepped backward as I counted out loud
”Two… one!”
The four of us jumped forward simultaneously
The two Tansian fools were far too frightened to ht over decision and also leaped backward
”SMAsh!+”
The two focused too ot that they had retreated until the edge of the hedge It crushed under their weight
”Ah” We cried, ”Awful…”
I passed by theot soe of God!” I strode into the garden
Moya followed He was an honest man and truthfully reminded, ”Princess Charlotte's maids are not far behind!”
Wilder was the third to speak and sighed deeply, ”Farewell You'll be hanged…”
Jack was the last and offered theether! Hurry up!”
It was a pity that Marfa was not present, or he would have said, ”Quickie, quickie! What? You don’t have a rope? Rip your clothes, for God's sake!”
