Chapter 202: Recharging batteries (1/2)

The day of the war was almost upon them , with only 17 hours left before start of the event. Rudra gave everyone in the guild a mandatory 14 hour break and asked them to rest well before the fight started.

All preperations were done , each guild member was loaded with advanced potions stacked in their inventory. They all had been assigned their respective roles and now only the battle lied ahead.

While everyone else logged off from the game , to get some rest before the hectic upcoming 48 hours , Rudra still sat in the conference room thinking about all the possibilities , what could he have missed , what else can he do better .

Rudra was just like that , he took the maximum responsibility for the guild , and even when he was physically and mentally at his limit he would not slack off , instead he would persevere for the guild.

Ruby entered the conference room , and saw Rudra alone staring at the map.

She quietly took a seat in the corner , without disturbing his line of thought. After a while Rudra burried his head in his hands and said ” Stupid , stupid guild leader , who gave you the stupid idea of making a guild with soo few members , idiot , complete idiot , your foolish ideals will now only cause problems for you..... Ugh why can't other first rate guilds stay in their own f***** cities , why do you have to come to Purplehaze with 250,000 members , and why do I have to deal with 3 such idiotic guilds , agghhh!!!! ”. Rudra ranted

Ruby was shocked to see such a side of the careful strategist and dignified guild leader. Then she bursted out laughing.

Rudra was instantly jolted back to reality , he was shocked to see Ruby sitting there. His face turned from shock to embarassment in a flash , as it turned red.

Seeing Rudra 's cute expression Ruby laughed more. It gave the shyly glancing Rudra a very beautiful image of her full smile.

Rudra's heart clenched in his chest , he found her smile ethereal. He said embarrassed ” Sorry ,I did not know you were in here .... Did you hear everything I said ? ”.

Ruby nodded , wiping a small tear from her eye that came because she laughed too hard. Then she said ” Don't worry guild leader Shakuni , if you won without your ideals would the victory really be worth it? .. it maybe harder to win with your ideals intact. But the victory will sure be worth it. ”. She said as she smiled.

Rudra felt soothed by her consolation , that's right , the victory was only worth it if it was with his family the Elites.

Rudra said ” You are very wise princess ”.

Ruby replied ” Father never let me practice real combat , although I was taught archery and self defense I have never even killed a rabbit. My world was my books , I have read a lot , about psychology , geography , science and magic, it is those books that made me wise ”.

Rudra nodded , he understood that the princess had a thorough education.

Rudra teased ” wise and beautiful , you are the perfect princess aren't you ”.

Ruby blushed , she had never been teased soo brazenly before , she was unable to retort.

Seeing her crystal white skin turning red , Rudra laughed , her small pointy red nose was too cute for him to handle.

After a while Ruby asked shyly ” Do you really think I am beautiful? ”.

Rudra replied looking in her eyes , with all honesty ” The most beautiful girl , I have ever laid my eyes on ”.

Ruby's blush turned a deeper red , she had men trying to gain her attention everyday in Vanaheim , yet she never had such a reaction to their flirtatious comments. But infront of Rudra who would actually look at her with eyes saying that she was indeed the most beautiful girl he had ever seen , her defenses would crumble , turning her skin hue red.

Rudra tapped her nose with his finger as she said ” have some rest Princess ”. And walked out of the room.
