Chapter 274 - Settling in (2) (2/2)

Before Mars had sent her over he had bestowed her with a small part of his divinity that basically made her immortal, that and the fact that the other plane of reality had a much faster pace of time would hopefully given Juliet some of the basic training so that Mars could personally train her from there

”And here we go...”

Mars let go of the magic beast core in his hand that fell down and landed on a giant magic circle that had taken up most of the panic room at the bottom most level of the palace, the magic beast core was immitartly drained of energy and a rift opened up in space

”Come on Juliet...”

Mars tapped his finger against his arm as he waited, there was only energy for the portal to the other realm to be open for about 10 seconds so she had to be quick if she wanted to return to the realm of mortals, after 2 seconds passed something passed through the portal

”That's not Juliet...”

Mars snapped his fingers and the demon that had managed to pass through the portal and was about to eat his face off turned into a flash of light and disappeared, but then next a human figure emerged from the portal, Mars quickly confirmed that this was Juliet and then he broke the circuit that made the portal stable and moments later it collapsed in on itself closing the connection to the other plane for good.

Then he shifted his eyes to Juliet, she was n.a.k.e.d, her clothes most likely having been torn to shreds during the first days in the other plane, her skin was covered with overlapping scars and a single rusted dull sword was clutched in her hand

”Juliet... Do you remember?”

Mars spoke out calmly and watched as Juliet shock before she quickly kneeled down on one knee and spoke

”I remember... I am Juliet, the first guard of Jane''

Mars gave a smile and walked over next ot her and put his hand on her shoulder before he took back part of his divinity that and healed her at the same time, making her skin turn smooth again and her hair regain its l.u.s.ter before he took a blanket and covered her with it

”It's good that you are whole... What do you say to a nice relaxing bath?”

”I... would very much like that”

After Juliet finished her bath Mars walked with her out to a training field where he quickly warmed up and turned to Juliet and spoke

”Well then, let's see what you got”

Varvei gave a yawn and turned over, she was currently lying in the training yard enjoying the evening sun

'They're still at it...'

She looked over at the crowd of guards that had gathered around the training field where Mars and Juliet were sparring, they had been at it for a couple of hours now so she decided to take a look and got up from the blanket she was laying on and walked over, after pushing through the crowd she arrived at the forefront and saw Mars and Juliet fighting each other

'No that's not right... Mars is playing with her...'

Varvei gave a sigh as he watched the high speed exchanges that kicked up dirt on the training field, she was only just able to follow the fight with her eyes and could quickly see that Juliet had no change to beat Mars and gave a yawn before stepped onto the training field while her tail wiped from side to side before she called out

”Mars, stop playing around and accompany me shopping for a bit”

Mars paused and eventually came to a stop and looked a little apologetic towards Juliet before he spoke

”We'll stop here for today”

Juliet bowed down and spoke

”Yes governor, please enjoy”

Mars gave a nod and turned to Varvei that wore a sweet smile and presented his arm which she soon grabbed then he asked

”Where do you want to go?”

”Hmm... let's just stroll around for bit”

”Sure”

Mars left the training ground arm in arm with Varvei and as soon as he was out of sight the guards that had been watching the fight approached Juliet, one of the normal guards asked her

”How come you got so strong so quickly Juliet?”

Juliet gave a forced smile and shook her head, even if she told them the tale they would not believe her anyway, after all she had only just returned from another realm where flesh eating demons roamed around and hunted each other, while she didn't know exactly how long she had spent there she knew it was over a year... Who would believe that? Then one of the elite guards spoke out with awe

”Let me be the first to welcome you to the elite guard Juliet”

Juliet shock her head and spoke

”I am afraid I won't be joining the elite guard as I already have been given a new position by the governor”
