Chapter 259 - To end a race war (5) (2/2)

”I am truly sorry your excenacy Sword... Even after you gave us the formula to the dragon weakening gas we let the living god imposter escape...”

[Send out searching parties to look for the imposter... he could not have made it too far]

”Yes your excellency... Relay that order! Find the imposter!”

Sword was in fact right, Mars had not made it very far, he was currently in an Inn on the outskirts of the capital, he had a clam look on his face as he sat in a chair and looked at the sleeping 78 that laid on the bed, but under the calm expression was boiling rage

'They hurt 78 again... how should I let them suffer before I kill them..? why did they attack us in the first place..? And that gas..'

Mars' thoughts swirled but where soon interrupted by a cough that sounded out inside the room before 78 slowly opened her eyes, Mars was about to reach out to her but stopped himself as guilt flashed over his face before he suddenly stood up, this attracted 78's gaze to him, she looked at him for a bit before she gave a smile that soon froze when she saw his expression

”Mars..? What's wrong?”

Mars gave a strained smile and spoke in a self deprecating manner as he stroked 78's cheek

”What kind of living god have I become to let you get hurt so many times..?”

78 gave a smile and held his hand as she spoke

”But I am okay now, right?”

”Yes you are... But you should not have been hurt in the first place”

78 reached up with her free hand and patted Mars on the head, this confused him a bit so he asked

”Why are you pressing me?”

”Because you did a good job in healing me”

”I see...”

The two of them spent some more time like this, looking into eachothers eyes before Mars spoke again

”I have brought you some new clothes since your dress is beyond repair this time”

”Okay...”

Mars then stood up and was about to walk out of the door when 78 called out to him

”Where are you going Mars?”

”Relax 78, I am just going to get an explanation from the beast empress before i skin her alive”

”Then I'll come too”

”No you stay here and rest”

”But---”

”no but's... stay here”

”boo!”

Mars gave a sigh before he walked over to 78 and kneeled down and kissed her on the forehead before he gazed into her eyes and said

”Stay here, okay?”

”...Fine, but only if you kiss me properly”

”Sure”

Mars kissed 78 lightly on the lips, well it was light at first but before he realized she had pulled him down on the bed as she likewise pulled him into a deep kiss, after a little while she pulled back her lips and spoke with an enchanted and slightly seductive smile on her face

”Mars you taste good”

At that moment Mars really had an urge to push her down for real but held back as he had more pressing matters to attend to and thus he gave her one last quick kiss and spoke

”See you later 78”

”...Come back soon Mars”

”I will”
