Chapter 563: It's time to show my might

Back to Sol, while he had indeed gone to the eternal battlefield, people didn’t realize that he could nearly instantly cover the distance between Lustburg and the battlefield without having to use the teleportation magic circle.

Currently, he was back in his Lustburg after a short visit to secure the prisoner. After all, you never knew what could happen.

Now he was back for a short while as he had many things he needed to discuss with Camelia and a few points he needed to analyze.

The church was basically his playground by now and he knew that this place was completely under his control and no spies could be found here.

This wasn’t surprising truly. With two women who could literally bend the mind and transform most people into fervent supporters, any spies that managed to enter this place should be considered as some sort of genius monster that defied all expectations.

“Sol...”

Sol stopped and looked behind him. After all, in this place there were only three people who could call him by name.

“Chloe. How have you been?”

Chloe, in a way his first friend. However, the relationship between them couldn’t be said to be particularly close. Sol had noticed a strain between them as time passed and he could understand why.

Chloe had first place to see many things and understood the background of Lustburg more than anyone on the exterior. She knew that Lustburg had the power and most importantly — The Will, to fight and conquer the world. Which would mean eventually, they would have to fight against Slothein one way or another.

There were no two ways about this.

“I have been...It has been complicated.”

Chloe wanted to hide things with a smile but in the end, she simply shrugged and gave her honest impression.

Chloe was lost. She did not know what she could do now or if she should try convincing Sol to stop his desire for war.

In the end, she simply sighed, “Will you continue this war?”

“Yes.”

“What happens after you win? Will you stop?”

“No.”

Chloe stayed silent for a few short seconds, “You know...The angels will not stay silent for long.”

“Is it a threat?”

“No, it’s a warning from a friend. Watch out for the sky. I advise you to work with those witches and make sure the sky of Lustburg is protected at all times once this war ends. Otherwise...You will regret it.”

She knew very well that telling Sol to not fight was useless. She also could not fight against this war by her lone self. This was why, she decided to take the second best decision she could take.Visitt for the latest updates

Once she was done with her words, she turned on her heels and started walking away, “Also, you do not need to have those nuns keep an eye on me. I will not flee from Lustburg nor do I plan to reveal all the information I have on end.”

“Tired?”

“Not much. I just need to close my eyes for a while.”

Sol did not talk much as he kept his eyes closed. Even with this, he could still hear the gears turning, and the river flowing but he noticed that when he was close to people he cared about, this feeling became fainter and less overwhelming.

“Camelia. Do you remember our discussion a few weeks ago? In the forest while Lilith and Lilin were mending their relationship.”

“Yes.”

“I told you. When we go back home. I will call everyone and tell them my tale.”

“You did.”

“But I didn’t.”

“Indeed.”

“Aren’t you curious?”

This time it was Camelia who hugged Sol. As if she wished for them to meld together and become one. “Of course I want to. I want to know everything about you. I wish to understand you better than anyone else. But...”

She stopped, searching her words, “I understand. Being honest is scary. Opening fully your heart means showing everything. Both the qualities and your ugliness that are buried deep within.”

Camelia understood how scary this could be and this was why, “You do not have to hurry. You do not have to feel like you need to reveal everything now. Even though you affirmed no secrets I think there is nothing wrong with keeping some things close to your heart.”

Sol did not open his eyes. His women were so accommodating. He knew they would do everything for him. All he had to do was ask.

“How about it? After this war ends, why don’t we tell everything to each other? No secrets, no lies, no fear, no judgments. You, me, and all the others.” She asked quietly while caressing his hair to which Sol answered with a small laugh,

“You know. You are setting very dangerous flags right now.”

He opened his eyes and finally gave her a small kiss on the forehead. He could see it in her eyes. The want, the desire to do far more.

But Sol decided to stop himself. Not now. Not when so many people were dying because of his orders. Even his escapade with Milia had been severely diminished to almost zero.

He could have all the fun he wanted — After the war.

As for how many flags this sentence raised, Sol did not care. All he had to do was to break those flags one after another.

“I will fight tomorrow.”

He gave her one last kiss and stood up. “It’s time to bring this war to a stop. Too many already died. I will also let the world understand that — No army can be a match for me.”

It was time for his name to resound through the battlefield.
