Chapter 77 - The Ark Of Mobilisation (1/2)
”Of course, m' lady. Thank you for your support,” replied Minwoo, gently kissing Mavislin's hand.
”But on one condition.”
Minwoo froze, looking up to the Valkyrie. Mavislin gave a warm smile, almost taunting the poor fella.
”If the matter persists beyond my capability l, I would have to ask Sir Baldwin Noble for back up,” explained Mavislin, looking dead into the Marquess' eyes.
”That means the Knights would be fighting in the battle,” replied Minwoo, looking concerned.
”Well, have you fought with them before?” asked Mavislin, intrigued at how worried Minwoo was.
The Marquess was silent as he tried to look for a reply for Mavislin. But none came out.
”Hey, you alright there?” asked Mavislin, out of curiosity.
”It's only if the Barren Pillars have fallen, right?” asked Minwoo, voice sounding desperate.
”Don't assume that my Barren Pillars are so easy to trample over. Don't forget that I'm in charge of the attacking piece for the Arks. If anything, the Pillars won't need much help from the humans or the underworld society,” said Mavislin, her tone shifting from gentle cooing to a strict warning.
”However, with that much being said, I will not risk all of their lives by something that the underworld was supposed to clean up.”
Her lips curled into a dangerous smile, her knuckles white from deep anger within her.
”So, the Barren Pillars will only ask for help when we are down with 20% of our total member strength.”
Minwoo sighed, giving a face of disgust before replacing it with a heartfelt smile.
”Alright then, darling. You've got yourself a deal.”
”You agreed quicker than expected,” said Mavislin.
”What choice do I have? This problem is beyond the underworld's comprehension.”
”Beyond, you say? There are many more things beyond human comprehension, my dear friend. The underworld, above-world... All of them are no match when it comes to beings from all over the Universe,” explained Mavislin, looking out to the night sky.
”Don't worry, the things that Baldwin has shown me has already scarred my eyes.”
”Those are nothing compared to what's to come.”
”You can predict the future?”
”I've got a mate that can Time travel.”
”That pesky boy...”
Mavislin smiled, thinking about that boy always a sense of relief.
