" Sire, here she is "
Reimen said as he held a woman up, squeezing the back of her neck to keep her in the air
" The last innocent life I need to steal "
Romulus said, staring at the man who simply looked back at him, nodding before dropping the woman on the ground.
She was wearing a white dress that covered up every part of her body, with a necklace that held a cross with the figure of an impaled man on it
" A priestess a presume? "
Romulus questioned as the woman sat on her legs, looking up at the man with the marking of Reimen's fingers around her neck
" What's the meaning of this, sire? You promised us, the church, complete freedom as long as we helped the following of your kingdom grow, so why is it that are planning on killing one of our sisters? "
A man's voice was heard, from the back of the room, this man looked a lot like a pope, engulfed in pure white clothing, but the most noticeable thing was his wooden made rosary beads, wrapped around his entangled arms and hands
" I find it ironic that you carry the symbol of god on your arms yet you offer me, a mortal, hundreds of sacrifices "
Romulus replied as a smile grew on the pope's face
" Are you insinuating that I'm sinning? "
The pope questioned as Romulus simply sighed, stretching his hand out to the confused priestess
" No, of course not. With my new rebirth, a religion will be born and no matter how many times you sin, I will forgive you, you just need to devote yourself to my cause "
Romulus replied, before holding the woman by her face, squeezing it tight, causing it to pop, her blood splattered all over that dark room, falling upon a sacrificial circle on the ground.
The line that formed the circle began to shine, and inside of it, it contained letters, letter that began to spin, glowing bright red like the line, before forming what seemed to be a moon with flames around it
" Now we wait for the eclipse "
Romulus whispered, turning away from the circle, walking away from it as the two other men follow along, and the moment they left, Romulus' guardian angel appeared above the circle
" He's using the easiest and most hated method to become a deity, why was I given such a pathetic being to guard? "
The angel said as he then closed his eyes, curling his body up into a ball, proceeding to merge with the circle underneath him
" Now we wait for the eclipse "
The angel whispered, mimicking what Romulus said, before he completely sunk inside of the moon like design in the circle
" Wait what!?! "
Ean yelled, glaring at Cabal, who simply sat down on what seemed to be his throne, whilst being stared at by Ezra and Arthur
" If what you say is true then why don't we stop my father's ascension? Wouldn't it be saver for us to get rid of an almost to be deity? "
Arthur questioned, whilst Cabal simply laid back on his throne, sighing loudly before closing his eyes
" It wouldn't be possible "
Cabal replied, causing Arthur to raise an eyebrow in confusion
" What do you mean not possible? "
Arthur continued, making the man sigh once more, before he opened his eyes, glaring at the boy with his now shining grey eyes
" Once a mortal decides to step upon the road to becoming a deity, no other mortal can stop it, fate will simply deny our objection to his ascension, so sadly-
"
The old man explained before being interrupted by Ezra
" We'll just have to wait till he ascends "
Ezra said, finishing the sentence in place of Cabal
" So what? If I learned anything from Shu is that at times like this, we should be training our asses out "
Ean said before turning his attention to the female knight with which he had his fingers entangled
" So, I haven't yet gotten your name, mind sharing with me "
Ean whispered, leaning into the woman's face, attempting to plant a kiss on her lips, but she simply turned her face away
" Why would I tell you that? You malestar, let go of me!! "
The woman yelled as everyone else in the room simply turned to look at them, all giving them the same expression, which was one of annoyance
" Her name is Petra "
Cabal said in place of the female knight who glared at her own king with embarrassment in her face
" Don't you dare remember that name you malestar!! "
Petra yelled, hitting Ean's chin with her head, causing him to let go, tending to his now sore jaw, whilst seeing Petra quickly walk out of the room
" I'll remember your name! "
Ean yelled, rubbing his chin, smiling as he did so before turning to look at the other men, who looked back at him with the same expressions as before
" Seriously man? "
Arthur questioned, making Ean smile and shrug, seeming almost proud of himself, so much so that Arthur began to think Ean was slowly losing his mind
" Come on man, when you see a girl as hot as Petra you can't help but just, you know "
Ean replied, not sure how to explain his feelings for the girl
" Alright man, I don't care anymore, let's just focus in the topic at hand "
Arthur said, sighing a bit as he rubbed his forehead in what seemed to be disappointment
" Oh and, Ean was it? Well whatever the case, Petra likes blue roses. Make sure to give her a pack of those along with a bottle of alcohol, when you two meet again, I promise you you'll get at least flustered cheeks from her "
The old man said, possibly revealing to Ean an easy way into Petra's heart
" Noted!! I'll get her those flowers now! "
Ean replied, before running out of the room as excited as a recently married man, causing Cabal to chuckle in amusement
" Ah, Youth "
