Chapter 106 - The Long Run (1/2)

Princess Bang-gwi and most of the others that were there took that day off. Seeing the stage again the next morning, Princess Bang-gwi couldn't help but imagine the scene of the execution from yesterday morning. Many of the others had trouble looking at the stage as well.

"Good morning soldiers!" Marquis Mehhnk barked from the stage, "Yesterday most of you had your first experience with killing. I don't expect any of you to be used to it after one experience, but if you think you are, please form up on this side and follow me after announcements and you will be exempt from training today after you pass a little test. The rest of you will go with… Lady Chuhan, might I trouble you to lead the other group for cardio training in my stead? We're short on senior staff."

Chuhan Jwi looked surprised at Marquis Mehhnk's question, but said calmly, "As long as the Princess is in that group I will not have a problem with it." She glanced over at the Princess and saw the Princess nod at her. "In that case I have no problem with it, I'll see if they can keep up."

Chuhan Jwi then took off her coat and track pants revealing her short biker shorts and tank top that exposed her stomach. Her well-toned abs and thigh muscles were visible from a good distance with the light sheen of sweat from her earlier workout.

Naturally, a lot of the guys whistled and even some of the girls said she looked amazing.

Princess Bang-gwi couldn't keep her mouth shut though and said, "She looks that amazing and is single guys and girls!"

Chuhan Jwi smiled with a hidden killing intent and asked Marquis Mehhnk, "Will they be needed for anything else today?"

"No ma'am, do your worst." Marquis Mehhnk said with a knowing smile.

"I wouldn't have it any other way…"

Princess Bang-gwi felt a chill run down her spine and then noticed everyone looking at her, some with hate, and some with pity.

"Alright, those that are coming with me, follow me, those that are going with Lady Chuhan, loosen up and get ready for a workout!"

Xiǎng Pigu leaned over towards Princess Bang-gwi and said, "Haven't you learned yet not to pick on her age or marital status?"

"I'm not picking on her! I'm trying to promote her! I'm sure she would want to pick up a hot younger guy or girl, she has the looks for it!"

"Why would she pick up a girl?"

"Um, I don't know, we've never talked about her preferences so I just assume it could be either. Are you interested in her?" Princess Bang-gwi said teasingly to Xiǎng Pigu.

"O-Of course not! I think of her as a big sister! Not quite a mother, but I feel she is reliable and easy to talk to."

"I know what you mean, she's always been there for me. I feel that if the world ended, she would still be there."

Xiǎng Pigu nodded in agreement, then Vincent walked over to them. "What are you two chattering about so early?"

"How reliable Lady Chuhan is." Xiǎng Pigu said plainly.

"I have to agree, I find her very reliable, attractive, and an ideal woman." Vincent said plainly

Princess Bang-gwi and Xiǎng Pigu giggled when they heard Vincent say this.

"What? What's so funny? I respect Lady Chuhan!" Vincent said defensively

"It's ok Vinnie! I'd have a crush on her too if she wasn't like an older sister to me!" Princess Bang-gwi said teasingly

Vincent's face got red and he became aggravated. "I don't know what you are talking about Princess! I don't have time for such things!"

"What are you three talking about?" Vincent jumped when he heard Chuhan Jwi speak suddenly from behind him, seeing a tall muscular man jump in fright made Princess Bang-gwi and Xiǎng Pigu laugh even louder.

"Nothing really Jwi! We were just saying how Vinnie here has a crush on you!" Princess Bang-gwi continued to tease Vincent.

"Oh?" Chuhan Jwi said with small smile on her face, she walked up to Vincent and gave him a look from head to toe as if she was appraising him. "Hmmm… a little immature, but good physique, honest, and a straight forward personality. I'd say he's perfect for you since he could protect you as well."

Having it deflected back at her, Princess Bang-gwi became flustered and blushed and hid her face.
