96 Chapter 96: Change (1/2)
Caesar scrubbed the detestable medical paste off of his body and quickly finished cleaning up the rest of his body parts before begrudgingly leaving the warm bathtub.
Small droplets of water trailed down Caesar's hair and abdominal muscles as he stood up from the bathtub, he walked his dripping wet body to a nearby stool and sat down in front of the mirror.
He wiped the condensation off the mirror and started to softly brush his long hair, although tedious, Caesar loved the way his long and flowing white hair looked as it fluttered in the wind.
Once he finished brushing and styling his hair, he stood up from the stool and dried himself with a clean towel that was hanging on a nearby rack.
He thoroughly dried each and every body part before smiling in satisfaction, unfortunately, there was no one besides himself to feast their eyes on this eye candy.
After tidying up, he took out his grandfather's military suit that he wore at the ball he had attended when he first arrived in this world… it's overcoat, medals, and of course, it's intricate designs were all still present and the outfit itself still radiated a feeling of superiority.
Caesar slowly put each piece of the outfit on and finished it off with the military cap and white gloves, once finished, he gazed into the glass mirror and examined his current appearance.
Although his past elegant and sophisticated look was essentially gone without the suits he normally wears, he looked much more domineering and devilish with the military outfit… More fitting for his current situation.
Caesar nodded in satisfaction while looking at himself in the mirror and walked to the bathroom door, he slowly turned the knob and walked out. He was quite curious as to how Musashi had dealt with the maid girl.
*creak*
The door swung open and Caesar observed the room, Musashi was still puffing on his pipe while sitting at the end of the bed while the maid girl was nowhere to be seen.
*slam*
Caesar closed the door behind him and walked towards Musashi, ”what did you do to the maid?” he asked.
Musashi turned his head and faced Ceasar, ”the lass seemed to have been threatened… I just told her to go home” he replied with traces of sadness deep within his eyes.
”Tsk”
Caesar clicked his tongue in displeasure and walked to the table where the cup of tea was still present, he grabbed the base of the cup and examined the insides.
”If she was in fact, threatened, then she was obviously supplied with the poison… if we could identify the poison, we can potentially use it as a clue to find out where it came from” Caesar voiced out his thoughts.
”Haha, it's useless, the poison used is called siilack, a common poison that the trolls use to coat their blades… they aren't even hiding their attempts at killing me anymore, they know we are in no position to fight back” Musashi replied self deprecatingly.
*clank*
Caesar gently placed the teacup back on the silver platter and looked at Musashi disapprovingly, ”the trolls are currently using their advantage of superior numbers and information to make you and the other fox-kin feel helpless… They want all of you to lose hope, starve, run, fear, and, of course, die with them using the least amount of personnel possible” Caesar spoke quietly, just barely enough for Musashi to hear.
”However, the fox-kin have a few advantages as well… we have superior elites, capable flame magicians, and the trolls are hated by almost all races, if we use our advantages wisely, victory isn't just merely a dream” Caesar calmly explained.
Musashi looked at Caesar surprised, ”I feel as though you have changed a bit… if it was before, you would have probably kept this to yourself and not have attempted to tell anyone your thoughts”
At Musashi's words, Caesar just looked up at the ceiling and smiled wryly… ”it has been a very long time since I have last tasted defeat, in fact, I had been clinging to the thought that I was on top of the world…”
