Volume 11 Chapter 3 (1/2)
Translated by Tianic, edited by Grammarly
Having dealt with the captivities and the day's army affairs, it was sundown
Throughout the day, I wouldn't dare to leave Fischer all by hi hi his duties
That hy I had the cooks prepared a rich dinner for Fischer and summoned Webster and Tennessee as companies in the hope that Fischer could feel better at the day's end
All the delicacies on the dining table did not offer much help for Fischer's face was hellishly heavy and he went absent-minded multiple times
Helplessly, I hinted Webster with my eyes
”Your Grace, I heard you released the enemy commander?” Webster was a clever old timer to understand me, ”May I inquire your intention?”
”I'd give his neck a clean chop!” Tennessee was less clever but not the least, he followed, ”I heard the crap wet his pants, what a useless, soft-spined coward”
”Er, I did” Fischer's attention re-focused, he talked slowly, ”I've given it a fair thought on either to keep hi hiood But by releasing him could we let the rebels know that I a ht just turn and leave Swabia In the latter case, Luhrmann's plan is hindered Finally, those viceroys who did not take part in the rebellion will more or less have their ways to this inforthen their faith to stand against Luhrmann”
”A thorough thought, Your Grace You are better than us old tihed then turned the subject to me, ”What about Cohen? I feared that you would have had that major assassinated”
”You've underestiave Fischer a look and said with a smile, ”Since it's His Majesty's decision, I will follow instead of doing things otherwise”
”That easy?” Tennessee shook his head, ”hell I don't buy it That's essentially not your style”
”My, my, Viceroy Cohen!” Fischer's eyes looked at ht a hind of a smile on Fischer's face, ”Just spit it out”
”Fair enough” Seeing Fischer was drawn to the conversation, I shrugged, ”I wish all generals in power in Porta are useless asses like that major This way, if future conflicts arise, a major like him will do us much favor”
”Why I'ether, ”I knew it”
”I'hed, ”I'll take that as a compliment!”
”It's not…”
”Makes no difference” said I, ”I greith you dearest two's teachings I merely carried forhat I've learned”
”Well done, I'll give you that” Webster gave me a thumbs up, ”We'll tell Visual about it”
”Let's eat, uncles” Fischer reached for his knife and fork It turned out he was better in the feelings, ”I'd rather eat up all histo his father”
Hence all went on track The dinner carried on
After theFischer and I took for a trip
As evening fell, starlight occasionally shed through the cloud-curtained sky It was early winter The night breeze was beginning to carry a hint of cold
Fischer traveled on a trail in the castle without a hile I followed and remained the same silence
We went all the way to the wall top of the castle overlooking the night patrols as well as the flickering campfires in the far or close distance The entire campsite ithin our visions
”A thing can happen so fast that you can't get ready to react in this world” Fischer put a hand on the wall, he finally talked, ”Our safety was at stake thiswithout any fear If we acted one step wrong in this, ould have been killed”
”Your Grace…”
”If you weren't sht never meet each other”
”Your Grace, leave those hts alone It already went this far” I walked by Fischer's side, ”Be strong! It's your responsibility”
”I understand, Cohen I have duties” Fischer lowered his head, his tone also lowered, ”But, but my heart hurts!”
I tapped his shoulder
”Think about your parents! They would want to see you like this” I urged softly, ”Brother, I feel you But you need to be strong now Those till live forever in our hearts”
”I…”
”Your Grace, I assu” I took Fischer's hands, ”They died because they knew you're able to flee the danger and avenge the Don't let them down”
”I would give anything in exchange for their lives” Fischer said elled eyes
”Don't be silly, Your Grace That's the God's work” said I, ”Alland the queen went aith pride One was a wise king, one was a merciful queen They've become 2 of the shi+niest stars in the sky and they'll be solely remembered by all”
”Is that so?” Fischer looked up into the night sky His hands shi+vered
”What Your Grace should do now is to rip away the dark clouds shading in front of the stars” I lowered my tone, ”Luhrmann, as well as the Cardinals, they will die!”
”They will” Fischer answered immediately, ”I'll kill them myself even I have to chase them down till the end of the world”
”Rest assured, Your Grace, You're not alone I and my folloill be by your side until the end of time No one will stop us!”
”Cohen, I know you'll always be with me, but…” Fischer landed a hand on my shoulder A hint of confusion revealed from his eyes, ”whenever you call er as close as ere”
”Er, actually I was not used to your new title to begin with But you're a king now and you need to brace a king's disposition And as the king's closest friend, it is my responsibility to uphold your disposition” I said with a set used to and you're not alone We must take time to learn to accept it Your Grace, no matter e call each other, it's just a title In my heart, Your Grace, you'll always be my best friend, my brother”
”Can you promise that?”
”I can and I swear you'll forever be ood king It's not only your goal but also the forether”
”Looks like there is no other way I'll try to be a king” Fischer nodded and stood upright, ”Cohen, when are we getting out of here?”
”Toadier Wilder's troops ion, we'll be ready to set off”
”Wilder is a brigadier now” Backhanded, Fischer said, ”How's he doing?”
”Not bad, though he makes tiny mistakes sometimes”
”Tell me about your stories” Fischer has finally cheered up a bit, ”Tell me how you escaped”
Therefore, side by side, we sat on a stone stair I started from the dreadful Clay City battle to the bizarre tunnel The attractive telling went on and on until ht Fischer was deeply appealed
Suddenly, dense horse hoof sounds traveled from afar
Seconds later, Malphite's unique steps began shattering the stairs He caht towards Fischer and me
”Your Grace, sir” Malphite saluted, ”Our 2nd Legion wingadier Wilder has withdrawn from DC periadier wilder has requested to guard the rear while you leave”
Fischer and I shared a look
”Viceroy Cohen, do your work This king will rest” Fischer stood up, ”Captain Malphite, you'll assume a Major rank from this moment on”
”Yes, Your Grace” Malphite was a bit surprised
