Chapter 31 - Cassius's Mercenaries

Kiro heads to his bedroom , he undresses and then he collapses on his bed. His eyes get heavier and heavier , until he decides to close them . He finds himself lying on the flowers of the blossomed endless field , with Esgrieth sitting leg-crossed right in front of him.

-Ohh , you are here.

-So do you want to continue exploring?

-Of course I do .

They both get up and start walking forward .

-I need to ask you a question Esgrieth.

-What is it?

-What did Bralvor do back then .

-He showed off his power to you .

-What was it ?

-They call it demonic dominance here as far as I know.

-So he isn't the only one who possesses it .

-Correct , but he has mastered it to the point that no one can reach , not even you , it's beyond anyone's boundaries.

-So how does it work ?

-I cannot explain it to you , it's similar to what you would call telekinesis .

-I see .

-Stop

-What is it?

-I need to rest.

Esgrieth sits on the flowers , so does Kiro .

-This it the time when you leave the realm.

-If you say so , then later.

Kiro wakes up on his bed . He gets up , then Luchia comes in his room :

-Good morning , I noticed you clothes were teared but I sewed them .

-Kiro look at her and says.

-Can you not enter my room while I'm sleeping?

Then He notices that he isn't wearing anything except his underwear .

-I'll have to sew them too

-Can stop paying that much attention to my underwear ? Also can you knock before you enter?

-This is my job after all .

Kiro searches his drawers and picks up a towel and wraps it around himself.

-I'm taking a shower , leave my clothes in front of the door, and please , make something for breakfast , I'm starving.

-I got it.

Kiro walks through the hallway , to the bathroom . he enters and throws his towel away . He fills up the bathtub and takes a hot relaxing bath.

"That's the best decision I have taken for a while"

He feels that relaxed that he almost falls asleep inside the bathtub . He finishes bathing and wraps his towel around himself. As soon as he gets out , he sees Luchia holing his clothes in front of the door.

-I think I said that you could leave the clothes in front of the door.

-Hey I'm trying to be a good maid here.

-Time leap

The time slows down , Kiro picks up the clothes from Luchia's hands and starts dressing up , then the time goes back to normal.

-I still haven't figured out how you do that Kiro.

-And you never will .

-Oh come on , please tell me .

-What have you made for Breakfast ?

-Trying to change the subject , aren't we?

-Seriously , I'm starving .

-You will see , and I'm sure you are going to love it .

Kiro arrives at the dining room to see his favorite.

-No way ....Sukiyaki

-I learned it from you , the day you cooked it , and it seemed easy .

-You really made my day , Luchia.

-I told you you would like it.

-Kiro starts eating , it tasted different , but it still tasted good.

Kiro finishes eating and heads to the living room to take some rest . he sits by the fireplace , then Luchia comes at him with a cup of basil tea.

-Have you started reading minds or something?

-Just enjoy the tea .

-As you say .

Kiro takes a sip , it was as delicious as always . Luchia comes at Kiro and asks.

-Do you have another coat or something I'm freezing .

-It doesn't seem cold here

-Says the guy who is wearing the coat.

-Just light the fireplace and rest , isn't it that easy ?

-I have chores to do remember?

Kiro takes a second to think , then he takes off his coat and gives it to Luchia.

-Here you go .

-Luchia tries it on , the sleeves were long and the coat almost touched the ground.

-I cannot do chores like this.

-Then give it back , you were right , it is really cold. Take a rest for a while .

Kiro lights the fireplace then he says:

-I have to go , got some business to take care of

-Are you going to ....

-I don't know , just don't think about it , alright ?

-Alright.

-Good - then Kiro leaves and heads to the stables , He arrives and sees Vesper and Cyrian waiting for him.

-Good evening gentleman.

-What's the deal.

-Well , small skirmishes have started between Hellar and Cassius .

-And what do you need us to do - says Cyrian

-You'll will be assisting Cassian soldiers in one of the skirmishes. Simple enough?

-What's in for us?

-12000 Drezas each .

-I'm in says Cyrian.

-Me too .

-Then be off .

As soon as the mount their horses Vesper says :

-Don't forget your uniforms .

-Uniforms?

-You'll be assisting Cassius , so you will be disguising as Cassian Soldiers.

Both of them dismount their horses and start taking off their clothes and changing to their disguises .

-Nobody will notice , that's for sure.

They set off to the Cassian border with their horses . They way is long , the horses were getting tierd but they would't stop .

-Are we there yet?

-We are close that's for sure says Cyrian.

Then they see a group of soldiers in a distance . They were wearing the same uniforms as Kiro and Cyrian .

-They got to be the ones , dismont your horse and let's meet them.

They tie their horses in a place where they were going to pick them up again later and they head to the Cassian soldiers .

-Hang on , put your helmet , We don't want them to recognise us.

-You're right

They approach the soldiers and spot a group of Hellar's soldiers in a long distance .

-We came to aid you . -Says Cyrian

-Only two of you , well that's better than nothing , who knows what those dirty heathens are up to .

-What has happened so far?

-Those heathens have came too close near us , but they haven't crossed the border yet .

-We are ready for them , aren't we?
