Chapter 145 To kill an emperor 7 (2/2)
”my oh my~ Elsa, Varvei look at our newest contender~”
Varvei stopped rubbing her face against Mars and looked around herself soon she saw Mary was also hugging Mars and gave a sweet smile, meanwhile Elsa was too busy rubbing her face against Mars to care about anything, Mars gave a sigh and asked Chloe
”Chloe do you remember where I put my sword and armor?”
”hmm... it's in the main study I think?”
”okay thanks”
Mars spent the rest of the day chatting with the girls and Mary which for some reason remained latched on to him for the rest of the day, after eating dinner Mars went to bed early and left the girls to talk among themselves, they seemed to have taken a liking to Mary so Mars was not worried and collapsed face first into bed and soon fell asleep...
The next morning Mars gently tore off Elsa and Varvei that was clinging to him and walked into the living room were he found Mary sleeping on a couch with a blanket covering her, Mars had a urge to poke her cheek but stopped himself as he had more important things to do, after he found the main study Mars put on his armor and grabbed his sword and turned to leave the study when he found Victoria sitting in the doorway looking at him with her big blue eyes, Mars gave a smile
”good morning Victoria”
Victoria just looked at him and didn't respond for some time until finely her horns flashed and her voice appeared in Mars' head
”I'm... going too”
Mars gave a sigh and walked up to her before he kneeled down and petted her on the head
”....this is not a trip in the park Victoria, there's a chance I might die for real”
Victoria just kept on looking at him with her big blue eyes before she repeated
”I'm... going too”
Mars gave another sigh
”fine, but if I tell you to run you must run”
Victoria shook her head as her horns flashed again
”I'm your... partner... if you die... I die”
Mars gave a smile
”I see... well then I'll better make sure I don't die then”
”yeah...”
”okay then let's go up to the roof”
Victoria gave a nod and followed after Mars, but before they reached the roof they ran into Mary that was walking around with slight panic on her face
”Oh thank the 13 Mars where is the nearest toilet!?”
Mars was a little stunned but still pointed to a nearby door
”right there”
Mary gave a nod and ran towards the door and opened it before she let out a strange victory cry and shut the door after her, Mars gave a sigh and walked up to the roof and opened a portal to Central and walked though with Victoria following after her...
”now where to go..?”
”the...castle?”
”sure let's do that Victoria”
Mars looked into the distance and saw the giant castle, after walking for a few hours they arrived in front of the castle gate were Mars walked up and asked a random guard
”is the emperor in?”
”what are you talking about? The emperor is always in”
”I see, well you seem like a nice guy so I'll ask you once, step aside and let me in”
”....are you joking with me?”
”no”
Mars put a hand on the hilt of his sword, and let out his blood lust which made the guard pale
”p-please I have a wife and child”
”in that case let me though and you'll see them again”
”o-okay”
the guard fumbled to open the gate he was guarding before he suddenly stopped and took off his helmet which revealed a pair of fluffy looking wolf ears before he turned to Mars and said
”....if you're after the emperor I would not advise you to enter here”
Mars narrowed his eyes slightly
”really? then where would you enter?”
the guard swallowed his saliva and pointed to the left
”500 meters that way is a hidden unguarded entrance, just press the loose brick”
”and why should I believe you?”
”because I know what the emperor has in store for my kind”
”....I see, thanks”
Mars turned to leave but before he left he turned back to the guard
”I would take the rest of the day off if I were you”
the guard gave a hurried nod then Mars left and walked about 500 meters and came face to face with a brick wall
”now where is the loose brick... there it is”
Mars pressed the loose brick and just like some kind of magic trick a hidden tunnel opened
”...neat”
