Chapter 276 - Daily life (1) (2/2)
”I don't know, after all I am not you... But I can imagine that it will feel just right when you find it... Until then it's just about trying out whatever you can think off”
78 opened her eyes again, this time Mars could clearly see a spark had been lit in her previous listless eyes before she gave a nod
”Okay Mars... Then I'll join Varvei, Yel and Mary now!”
”Sure...”
Mars gave her a kiss before he patted her on the head
”Off you go”
”Umm!”
watching 78 run off Mars gave a smile before he went back to meditating...
Outside at the practice field Yel was currently drilling a group of guards when 78 came running over carrying her bone boardsword
”Yel!”
”Oh 78, what brings you here?”
”Umm... Mars said I should try out whatever I wanted to so I am here to help you drill the guards”
Yel gave a smile as she thought for a moment before she called out to the guards that were warming up
”Alright stop! Line up!”
The guards lined up in a neat row and watched 78 with curious eyes, they were familiar with her since they had seen her wandering around the palace before but they had not interacted with her before
”Why don't you introduce yourself 78?”
”Okay... Umm... I am 78 Mars' woman!”
Yel showed a smile at 78's comment, meanwhile the guard trainees were stunned by her introduction and some of the braver guard trainees gave up pursuing her at once, they had heard some horror stories of a diplomat that had tried to put his hands on one of Mars' woman and ended up being beaten to death by Mars himself
”Alright for the next part 78 will be helping out, your task is to group up in your squads of 4 and come at her squad by squad!”
78 swung her bone broadsword around for a bit to warm up before she faced the first squad of four that were ready to take her on
”Well then... Come at me!”
78 stood ready with her a practice broadsword over her shoulder, it looked a little comical seeing her wield such a big sword with her small frame but the guard trainees were in no laughing mood since the pressure she gave off was almost equal to that of their instructor from hell Yel
”Okay... Let's do this!”
The four of them spread out and surrounded 78 from four sides before they attacked all at once, 78 simply gave a smile and lightly jumped to dodge the four swords that stabbed out after her, then she landed on the swords and swept her broadsword around knocking the four guard trainees back before she gave a smile as she landed on the ground again and raised her hand and made a 'get over here' gesture
A few hours later 78 left the training field with a smile on her face, it was really fulfilling to do something for once, she felt comfortable fatigued unlike the other days were she felt restless
'I need a bath though...'
78 set off towards the master bathroom as soon as she stepped into the room she stripped and dove into the bathtub spraying water over the floor before she began cleaning herself, when she was done cleaning herself she laid back and relaxed in the bathtub while she thought
'What should I do tomorrow..?'
The endless possibilities was a little overwhelming but also fun in its own way
'I'll just decide tomorrow...'
With such a thought 78 sank further into the bathtub and raised her feet up above the water and looked at them with a smile on her face
