"I don't hold it against you, Joshua, far from it. You all just wanted jobs and I happened to need people, that is all. You are neither slaves nor at shields. My war has nothing to do with you."
"But."
"The LLG will operate without . The 2nd and 3rd squads all have the power to do so. With these two new groups, you would have enough to form a pseudo battlefront. I also have enough weapons for future squads, so your mind can be at peace."
"Commander! If you were to die, it would be a huge blow to our forces! You are our leader! Our king! If we lose you, it will all be for nothing!"
"Your king, huh?"
Technically, society needed kings to lead it. This was the next evolution of the typical tribal chief. While I was against such an undesirable position, having the power of a kingdom at my back would definitely help in the wars to co.
It was impossible to be everywhere at once. The 2nd Andnt and the LLG along with the other groups were my seeds. If they were able to grow properly, they would be a powerful force for the battlefront.
Considering the number of enemies I have right now, it was stupid to throw away such a group, just because I didn't like sothing inconvenient. However, I hesitated for another reason.
For one, I saw these people as tools. Unlike the Sirens, which I could never give up. I was perfectly fine with letting everyone else die. Such thoughts were not worthy of a king. But my vile mind couldn't reject the power.
If it ant that I could achieve my goals, I was perfectly willing to sacrifice them to the last.
Are such thoughts what you wanted from , Joshua? I debated inwardly.
"Commander, a king is soone chosen by his people. His duties are to lead them, to defend them, and to help them grow. You have already done all three. You have opened our eyes to the truth, you fight for Hellsgate as a whole, and you give us the tools we need to prosper.
"But these things are not why the 2nd Squad wants to follow you. For us, it is because you show us compassion. Instead of ordering us to die for you, you are willing to sacrifice yourself rather than bring us harm. Therefore, I am sure that you are our king."
That sounded like a lot of bullshit, but whatever. I opened their eyes on a whim, I wanted to train them for my own purposes. I never wanted to defend Hellsgate, it just happened that way.
Unable to deny all the things Joshua said, the villain in just accepted it.
'Their loyalty is better than the alternative. Let's just accept their allegiance for now,' I sched.
"I see, thank you for saying that, Joshua. I have had an extrely long day and would like to rest. As soon as the Sirens have finished their work, I will go ho to sleep."
Joshua gave a quick salute and bid farewell. "I understand. Please take care, Commander. Also, please tell mistress Freyja that the 2nd Squad will all turn into Phantoms tomorrow."
"Ah right, she ntioned sothing like that. Okay, I will tell her. Congratulations."
"Thank you, Commander. Take care on your way back, may your {Fate} end the darkness."
With a bow, Joshua left , just in ti for the rest of the Sirens to return to my side.
"Darling! We're done, shall we move on to the next Dirge Siren?"
"I'm fine if you girls want to. But as for , I want to go ho and rest. I haven't slept in over two days."
"Shujin, I am sorry for that," Aki said in a discouraged voice.
"Kamisan, I wasn't looking for an excuse. If winning you as my wife was the price. I would be willing to not sleep for a century. I am just tired for so reason."
"Possum, I have enough souls already, can I co and sleep with you?"
"Fuck you Robyn! Stop trying to steal March! Honey wants to rest!"
"In fact, you are using being stupid as an excuse to monopolize dearest."
"That's because you cunts are fucking boring! Go study or sothing, you slaggers!"
Jas then ca to my side and intertwined her fingers with mine.
"Husband, ignore the noisy flies here. Let's go ho and rest. I will massage your feet."
"Well, I guess stopping now is as good a ti as any. My love, do I have a place under your roof?"
Amused by Liv's nonchalant declaration, I smiled while answering. "Of course, love, my ho is yours as well."
Liv flashed a small smile as she walked towards . In the background, Bella and Robyn were trying to pull each other's hair. Lilly seed to be hesitating whether to stay or go.
" Darling, is it okay if I go see Ma and Pa first? Aki co with !"
"Eh? Why do you need as well, Jo-san?"
"I'll tell you later. Anyway, that's how it is. Jas, Liv. Make sure Darling gets plenty of rest, okay?"
"Wait! Possum! I want to go too! AHH! You bitch, get off !"
"Mwuahahaha! Fuck you and your shit, Robyn! Get stuffed! Honey! I will co to you soon, take care of yourself okay!" my Brazilian waved as she had Robyn in a headlock.
"Dear, I will accom..."
Bella then grabbed Lilly's long hair, making her scream in pain.
"AHHH! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU! LET GO YOU NERD!!"
I didn't know why Bella stopped Lilly and Robyn from coming with . Nor did I know why Jo needed Aki to visit the Simmons. But I knew that they always had my best interests at heart, so I didn't ask.
Liv then laid her head on my shoulder like a teenager in love. Amused, I gave her a quick kiss on the forehead. Then I looked at the rest of the Sirens as I said goodbye.
"Everyone, I will be going on ahead. Make sure you protect each other, okay? And as soon as your matters are settled, co back to . You all deserve your rest as well."
The girls all gave affectionate smiles and nodded. Then I took Liv and Jas' hands.
"Are you two ready?
"Yes, dear." "I am the man."
"Okay, just follow my lead, okay? I am not sure if you two are going to warp to my hotel room like ."
Then I thought of my room at the Biltmore Hotel and felt a tug on my soul. I welcod the familiar feeling and vanished in an explosion of light.
***
When I returned to Earth, I felt my body on a bed again. The dissonance of suddenly being parallel to the floor was uncomfortable. However, I felt warm bodies of soft flesh beside that jolted awake.
I opened my eyes to see Jas and Liv beside . But when I looked at the ceiling and the bed, it was different from what I knew. For one, I now had a canopy bed with transparent fabric dangling from the ceiling.
There was also a thin cloth around the bed too. It looked like those Arab sex beds I had seen in a magazine once. Such beds were used to hide the bodies of kings and queens from anyone who entered their rooms.
Moreover, the bed itself was different. It was now a huge round bed, bigger than even an Alaska king-sized bed. Then I noticed a small card at the top of the headboard. Carefully I reached for it and read its contents.
[Mr. Limitless. I saw the large group of beautiful won you had with you. One of our services is to provide a harem suite for ghosts who request them. Since I saw how much you adored them, I requested the bed on your behalf. - Nathan]
"Harem suite, huh? I should give him another bonus."
