Chapter 7 - Chapter 7 - A little lively meeting

Time passed until one in the afternoon at which time, Yulio had just returned, all sweaty from his mission to collect information, only to find himself in the courtyard in front of the entrance, a block of stone (the pseudo dining room table), in which elegantly sat his beloved partner; Yulio waking up from his impression, approached his partner thinking how to flatter her after seeing such a scene, resulting in the following greeting.

"I've come back hon ..., I'm back, you look very elegant and graceful."

Nevertheless, his compliments like many others said by various lick boots, were ignored by his partner, except for his attempt to call her by a corny adjective, which although she had an impulse inside his body, immediately removed it from his mind, and finished processing the greeting, as a civilized person it had to be returned.

"Yes, enough nonsense, what did you get? and do not come near me, you smell sweat, it is more after telling me to go bathe."

Before those words, Yulio backed away a little, feeling bad and embarrassed, but still, I speak to him.

"Well ... about the investigation, although the disguise did not help much, even so, I could find what was necessary, look what Antenio told us is true, the soldiers have the subject people abusing power and taking advantage of the few resources that here are some of the cases I found just by looking from the side ...,"

Yulio's explanation was abruptly cut off by his partner saying she.

"Enough, enough, that's enough, I just wanted a confirmation, not a testimony, now go clean yourself or something."

With these words, Yulio sighed negatively and was about to say goodbye, when she thought of something important in her immediate future, which she had to mention to her partner.

"Well, I'm glad to help you, but look how do I bathe? if there is no water."

Immediately Crystal was going to answer him, but he retracted it thinking a little about the question and then telling him.

"You are right, there is no water, but I can produce it using the humidity of the environment, so go and bring a bucket, we should have something like this in our suitcases."

Complying with his wife's guidelines, he came and went in 5 minutes with a pair of large pots, finding his thoughtful partner still sitting on the stone, but this serene composure was interrupted seconds after he arrived and spoke to her.

"Crystal, I only found these pots ... Is everything ok? It seems that something worries you."

Then she began to answer him.

"Not at all, I was just thinking about the issue of water, concluding in the meantime, that for now, you have to be discreet about the fact that I can produce it almost at ease, so don't say anything about how we get water, for now, it is understood?.

At the final question, Yulio answered him.

"I understand ... and about the pots?

These words reminded his partner of the matter of the pots for which he said.

"Oh yeah, the pots, put them on the floor and back off a bit."

Yulio following his request putting the pots on the floor and then backing away a little, immediately, his partner still sitting, he directed his gaze and concentration towards the pots, moments later from above the pots he began to feel barely visible currents attracting the air around it forming a three-dimensional pattern, and then from its core, 2 small streams of pure water begin to fall, which after a few seconds filled the pots; Once full, the streams disappeared, along with the water.

"Wow ..., I will never tire of seeing how you do magic without even moving, it is impressive."

These compliments of Yulio, which were accompanied by the action of collecting the pots, were answered in a somewhat dry manner.

"It is not so impressive, any magician with some skill can do it, only that most of them are idiots who settle for using their hands, now go away, because the smell is bothering me."

After this comment, Yulio went to clean himself, to then spend time with his partner discussing magic, plans, among other things until it was done at 2 in the afternoon, at which time a large group of soldiers arrived in order to feet commanded by their commander, on the other hand, the young couple was waiting for them, standing on the stone table while taking a pose of authority.

the soldiers to arrive, by orders of their commander, organized themselves in rows 10 steps from the table in a firm position, which they did with noise and disorder, while their commander was a few steps ahead of them, once ordered , the commander commanded his force.

"With a view, to Baron Valirente, Great Lord of Desparamo,Sa-Lute!.

Immediately, with a bit of desynchronization by several soldiers, all of them including their commander, they jerked up their left hand, all extended and straight, until the tip of their middle finger touched their hundreds, then after a few

While this act was taking place, in Yulio's perspective, this situation was shocking, as well as strange, and his opinion about the soldiers and their act, removing the fact that he knew, the misdeeds they had incurred, was that they were presentable but somewhat thin except the lieutenant with his robust.

Also, his act was what would be expected from disciplined soldiers, but nevertheless, what really bothered him was that in all his presentation, not only did they ignore his wife in terms of authority, but he could also notice him morbid thoughts towards your partner.

But despite this, he continued waiting for the lieutenant to finish reporting, and later, speaking as his partner had indicated, but nevertheless, when the lieutenant finished his report, the man from the corner of his eye saw how his partner was, noting that she was colder than usual with a dangerous aura, this, together with the disgust of the soldiers for their misdeeds and their insult to their love, led her to slightly break the plan to be gentle.

"Piece of being despicable! how dare you come all the way here carrying that hypocritical smile, and incidentally disrespecting my dear wife who is her mistress."

Faced with this unusual outburst of anger in him, both Crystal and the soldiers were surprised, the latter feeling immediately, contempt and hatred for their new lord, replacing their feelings of ridicule and pity, especially their lieutenant, who, the surprise He led him to answer somewhat awkwardly, but he still dared to wear his smile.

"My .. my lord, my people if we disrespect the lady, but we the military, we respect the honor and the hierarchy .., and the lady ..."

Nevertheless, Yulio did not let him respond saying.

"I do not give a damn about your excuses, my lady sublime honorable mind, in addition to having the same rank as me, and if she does not have it, now she has it by the power that is granted me as baron of this territory, It is more, It will be her and not me who will talk to you from now on in the future, now I leave you with your great lady Crystal Valirente, that the gods have mercy on your souls."

Then, he moved to the side giving the center to his partner, who accepted him moving towards him, while after moving to the side he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, returning to his meek attitude, but without losing the act of authority. Once he took command, she addressed them with more coolness and authority than ever.

"Attention all, first of all, we did not bring you here, to listen to your slobbery, they are here to receive your punishment, for this reason! I, Crystal Valirente with the power conferred by Baron Valirente, Lord of Desparamo and commander of Desparamo's forces, on charges of corruption, coercion, indiscipline, and abuse of authority, have been demoted from their current rank, to recruit, and will receive over 5 years different punishments at my convenience. And Lieutenant Romeros as a figure in charge of the troops, being responsible for all and therefore the greatest culprit of all crimes, is expelled from the armed forces and will be sentenced to 30 years of uninterrupted prison, do they have anything to say?

I would have said that Lieutenant, first he got a little scared, but then he calculated some sinister things in his mind with favorable results which gave rise to the decision to laugh for a while, change to a vicious face, and start saying.

"Oh my lady, it seems that you already know everything and you do not want to negotiate with us, it is a pity, we could get along well, like the man who came before the previous one, but he, like you, did not agree with us, And you know what happened to him? Let's say the monsters ate him, soldiers, do you agree?

At the last interrogation, more than half of the soldiers smiled and half laughed, then responded together with the others.

"Sir, yes sir."

Then the lieutenant continued speaking.

"Then if you don't want to be eaten by the monsters together with your fearful husband, I think it is better that you treat us well, and why not? Come to "discuss" strategies with us hehehe, what do you think?

Those vicious words caused Yulio fear and anger, being the first caused mostly by the number of soldiers gathered and the second by his wife, on the other hand, his partner apparently was affected by this words causing her to temper a little anger and that His surroundings emitted intense cold, to then say as calmly as possible, but still contain his anger the following.

"That seems to be your answer and everyone's answer, right? Then ..."

before continuing his words, the air around him and only around him, only affected by Yulio, began to grow colder and move invisibly in him, the mana of Crystal, forming several patterns, among which was one, in particular, it was a concentrated pattern just above his right shoulder.

"by reason of bribery, coercion, the murder of a lord, and high treason of condemned to die."

Immediately after saying his sentence, the pattern that was forming on his shoulder generated almost instantly out of nowhere a small ice stake, which was thrown at an impressive speed, piercing in the process the lieutenant's forehead leaving his face frozen the asset of the transformation from mockery to fright.

Once the lieutenant fell, Crystal exhaled as if she were tired in addition to staggering a little, which worried her partner, on the other hand, the soldiers were in shock about the sudden death of their lieutenant. But they left this after the guilty one, with a tired voice, told them.

"This is not over, a worse punishment awaits those who agreed with him, and believe me, I have a good memory, ... what's wrong? Are you afraid? Come if you dare, otherwise, I will come for you."

Finished those words he began to walk slowly to the edge of the stone, which caused the soldiers to react being more than half who were to leave with their lieutenant, seeing their bad future if they did not do something, they began to run towards her what scared Yulio, while the others backed away. Nevertheless, Crystal already on the edge with the soldiers only a few steps from the stone, smiled wickedly, the apparent weariness disappeared, from his body quickly emanated a sublime amount of mana invisible to human eyes and surrounded with the group Insurgent, to instantly make him solid forming a strong barrier around them, Next, she when seeing the surprised soldiers on the verge of fear commented as the temperature dropped around her.

"Let the sentence begin."

5 minutes passed after that sentence, enough to transform the terrain in front of the couple, since now what was ahead was a massacre field formed by several bodies on the ground, stakes, and blocks of ice (some bloody) thrown Whether on the floor or nailed to a soldier, you could even see some soldiers frozen in an ice cube. The only people alive would be the couple who were still in the stone with impunity and the remaining soldiers who did not participate in the fight, were kneeling with their heads on the ground warming up in fear in front of their lords.

"I hope you know now, who are the ones in charge, now tell me once more, who we are!"

and before orders, the poor soldiers responded in unison.

"The Great Baron Yulio Valirente and the great Lady Crystal Valirente, Most High Lords of Desparamo."

Next, Crystal asked in an authoritative voice.

"And who I am to you?

Soldiers immediately responded

"The Great Commander of Desparamo's forces, and our mistress and Lady."

And finally, ask Crystal

"And who are you? and what is your duty?

In unison, they answered.

"We are dishonorable low-life dogs, who do not deserve to be soldiers, and our duty is to be slaves to the designs of our commander, and ensure the safety of the people.

Hearing this, she smiled a little and ended by saying.

"Excellent, see you tomorrow at 10, in the barracks, now clean up this mess and go away filthy worms, goodbye!"

So the dogs ended up saying before going to carry out their withdrawal orders

"Ma'am, yes, ma'am!"

Then the young couple, finally entered the mansion after all the chaos, to be able to vent the pressure, since when they entered they were both pale with emotions, but it happened having already reached the dining room where the soldiers could not see them, that Crystal fell heavily, falling to his knees, faced with such a situation, Yulio rushed towards her, getting forward while gently grasping her arms saying.

"Crystal! what happened? you're good?.

Then she tried to answer while pulling Yulio's arms away

"Don't touch me, I'm fine ... bueahhh."

But it happened that she vomited on Yulio and then passed out.
