Chapter 89 Towards the front 2 (1/2)
”his majesty orders?”
the knights eye opened wide behind his full helmet before he calmed down a little and spoke with badly concealed mockery in his voice
”do you think I was born yesterday boy?”
Mars narrowed his eye slightly and put a hand on the hilt of his sword
”call me boy again and I will beat you so badly your mom won't recognize your corpse”
the knight calmed down again, or rather he was forced to calm down facing the cold killing intent Mars was releasing and was about to command the other knight to attack when the vice principal steeped out the sky carriage and looked at Mars that was having a standoff with the knights and gave a sigh
”every time I come here it's the same... at least nobody died this time... Mars stop threatening the knights they are just doing their job”
”...fine”
Mars backed off but still kept a close eye on the knights meanwhile the vice principal handed a letter to one of the knights
”the royal seal!?”
the knight looked at the seal on the letter then at the vice principal with wide eyes his shout also started the other knights
”I'll go report to the lord right away, please wait here”
the knight that received the letter walked away in half hurry half panic while the other knight kept watching the group form the academy, soon the knight returned again
”dear guest please follow after me the lord would like to meet you all”
Mars along with the rest of the group followed after the knight but he also noticed a deep frown on the vice principal's face and Mars soon realized why, as soon as they stepped into the 3 stories tall mansion he also gave a deep frown
'...well I suppose there's also theses kinds of nobles around but this is just... too much'
gold, there was gold everywhere not solid gold but as close as it got in various pieces of art and furniture that decorated the halls, there was also another thing that made Mars frown
'...living dead..? no they just wish for death'
the maid's all had blank expressions on their faces, their eyes were dead and they all had a metal collar engraved with magic formations around their necks
'...brings back bad memories'
Mars started to feel sick, he vividly remembered how the collar he wore when he reincarnated had killed him more then once, Chloe perhaps sensing Mars's bad mood latched on to his arm and spoke to him in elvish
”...do you want to save them?”
Mars took a deep breath and shook his head, even if he had the power to save them he knew that the only salvation for these maids was death
”no... but I kind of want to beat up the person that made them like that”
”...want me to help you?”
”I thought you disliked humans?”
”I do but...”
Chloe looked at a maid, she was no more than 15 years old yet her eyes where dead and bruises covered her body that was no less than skin and bones
”this is something that goes beyond race, if there where elvers in this town there would properly also be elvers enslaved here”
”that's true... well just follow me lead okay?”
Chloe gave a big smile and tightened her grip on Mars's arm
”anything for you Mars”
Mars once again felt the weight of Chloe's love increase
'I really need to deiced how to deal with her and Elsa... well it can wait until we're beat the golems...'
under the lead of the knight the group soon reached the 3rd floor and walked into a dining hall where a person that was more than a little overweight sat and stuffed his round face with meat and wine, around him where maid serving him by refilling his plate and glass the round person only stopped stuffing his face when the group got closer where he stood up from his chair and looked over the group with his small eyes
”welcome to my humble domain, I'm the lord of this land my name is Gas Fedeson, don't worry your sky carriage will be resupplied by tomorrow until then feel free to enjoy all of what my mansion has to offer... it's been a long time, how are you doing Moira?”
the vice principal gave a frown, meanwhile Gas ran his eyes with blatant lust over the group causing the females in the group to tremble slightly with disgust
”I'm fine Gas, now if you would excuse us we are rather tired form our journey and would like to rest”
”yes of course please rest, hey you show our guests to their rooms”
”ye-yes master”
the maid timidly stepped forwards and gestured for the group to follow her as she half fled out of the dinning hall
”hey Mars?”
”what is it Chloe?”
”...can I roast that pig?”
”...maybe tomorrow”
Adam that was nearby happened to her them speaking in elvish and joined in with a cold smile on his face
”why not do it now?”
Mars was a little surprised that Adam joined in but remembered his wife had been tortured and killed by humans
”...do you know how to resupply a sky carriage?”
”good point, but if that disgusting human looks at my dear Chloe like that again I will kill him”
”I wanted Mars to say that dad!”
