Chapter 307: Chapter 307 – Firing Alice
As my soldiers started burning the houses, I looked at the villagers and asked, “Is there any one of you that wants to plead for your life to ?”
They all looked up, their eyes filled with vengeful tears with unaccountable hatred roaming in. They all heard their wife’s being raped, so liking it, so really liking it.
They did not hate the soldiers that raped them nor themselves for being so weak that they couldn’t even untie themselves and save their wives.
They all united in a staring contest with that I know I would lose.
‘Well shit . I was just curious to see their reaction… they do say that curiosity killed the cat.’
“So no one huh?” I say and nod to Haylum.
He signaled the other soldiers who all walked towards the villagers, drew their swords and waited for the order.
“Any last words, people?”
“Katherna will have your head for this!”
Of all the people that would cursed or shoot those words at , I didn’t think it would be anyone but that old fool they call chief.
“So Katherna’s the bitch’s na?… No worries I will get her later as well.” I smile at him and get an idea.
“Separate him from the herd and let him have a frontal seat of the grand show.”
“What…?” The elder said in confusion and the guards took him out. They put him beside Haylum and let him see everything through his own eyes.
“Why are doing this! NO, I won’t watch you do this!” The chief said and closed his eyes.
Haylum grabbed his head and forcefully opened his eyes, letting him see everything.
“Don’t be so shy, old man. Sir gave you one of the best seat for the show, enjoy it while you still can.”
“There are only so many head we can cut here.”
Haylum then looked up, “Sir, do we kill them one at a ti or all at once?”
I count the heads and look at the ti before getting rid of the first idea.
“Cut them all at once. It’s getting late, I need to go sleep.”
“You heard him, boys.” Haylum said, “Onward to execution!”
“NOOO!” The elder scread as the soldiers raised their swords and struck down.
“Slash!!”
They cut all heads at the sa ti. The chief saw with his shocked look the sons he saw grow up, die brutally in the hands of their children.
The children that he helped stand up, the daughters that he played with… all were now gone.
“How’d you like the show, old man?” Haylum asked.
The chief looked down, his face losing all emotions he once had. Seeing how broken down the chief was, Haylum knew kicking him won’t bring any funny reactions for him.
He looked up at Henry to see him giving a nod.
Haylum whispered in the man’s ear, “At least you all got to see a pretty good fucking show… the pussies were quite tasty, I’d say.”
The chief felt anger and frustration rise within him and as he tried to wrestle for power…
“Snap!”
With one quick snap from Haylum, the chiefs neck broke and he lost all connection to the mortal world.
As the soldiers checked for survivors, I also helped them with my eyes.
Except for the soldiers, all the bodies I saw had their inner shell colorless, indicating no survivors.
I nod in acceptance as a yawn ca to , “Yaa… damn it’s pretty late now isn’t it. What ti is it, Raven?”
“…”
“Yo, Raven!”
“Ye- Yes, sir.” Raven looked at , his attention getting back as he said absently, “Sowhere around 1 AM.”
“…You okay, Raven.”
“Yes…”
“You sure,” Sadie moves a step closer to his horse, “You’re not getting second thoughts about this ss, right?”
“Of course not, sir.”
“Good…” I turn around, intending to leave, “Because I’d hate to kill such a good fighter and promote Haylum in your place… the guy’s too much of a blockhead for that position.”
“That situation won’t ever co, sir.” Raven said, finally becoming resolute as he tightly held his horse’s reign.
I glance at him from the corner of my eyes and nod only.
“Let’s go, girl.”
“Neiggh!” Sadie neighed loudly before penetrating through the forest to our way ho.
anwhile, Raven looked at the ground for a second longer.
‘Hesitation and Incompetence would give the sa future… regardless of how trustworthy I beco.’
Then he turned around left, riding behind Henry for his safety.
…
Morning ca…
I woke up late, sowhere around 10’O clock. Last night’s activity made rest back a bit more then intended.
But let’s be honest, I probably would have got up late anyway even if I slept early. My laziness ca back with as I ca back ho.
I get up and shower then join in breakfast where my beautiful Anna made a feast for that was finished before the 30-minute mark.
I finish eating the bone in the chicken and lay back in relax.
“Ahh… just like that, Anna. You have the hands of goddess.” I said to Anna, who was massaging my shoulder.
“Master-”
“How many tis do I have to remind you, it’s Henry for you, love.”
“Yes,” Anna smiled in defeat, “I sotis forget with how everyone calls you master and I get the special treatnt.”
I stretch my right hand back and pat her hand, “You know why you get special treatnt… you are very special to , Anna. You aren’t just a maid or a childhood friend of mine.”
She smiles, “I know that, you remind my body of that every day.”
“Speaking about body… where’s that girl, Alice?” I look around, “I thought she would start buzzing the mont I got up.”
Anna pressed tightly at the right spot as I felt satisfaction flowing through , “She’s outside at the battle field, trying out her spells or learning them… or sothing else about black spells, I can’t really say.”
“At least she’s hardworking.”
“She has to be. With the maid work combined, she has to spend her ti accurately to learn her spells.”
“Huh?” I raise a brow, “Maid work? I made her a maid as substitute work, she doesn’t need to pay much attention at it. I told her, her main objective should be learning magic, not doing house work.”
Anna nods, “I remind her that but she says that ‘Master trusted with such a duty, it would be a sha for if I don’t fulfill the trust he gave with 101% efficiency.’
I smile, exactly what Alice would say about that. I think about her maid work.
“How’s she working?”
“…she tries her best.” Anna smiled awkwardly, “But so people can only go so far.”
I nod, ‘An understatent.’
“And her magic, how does her progress look like?”
“Henry… you know I don’t know much about magi-”
“I’m just asking your opinion.”
“Well…” Anna thought for a second, “It does seem like she’s doing good. She has learned a lot of spells since you went away.”
Anna said, rembering a mory, “I rember her using a spell that made the blue sky cloudy and then it started raining.”
“Really?” I ask, “She really made it rain?”
Anna nodded heavily, “Yes, it was quite an exciting day.”
‘Woah!… she’s already going into mid-level spells so fast. I’m sure it wouldn’t take more than a year for her to beco one of the best if given enough resources.’
“Alright… I made a decision. Tell Alice that I’m firing her from her maid position and she’s to spend that ti learning spells.”
“So no more breaking stuff then.” Anna smiled, “I’ll do that.”
