I didn't have much time, so it was great that things were totally working out.
Given that I'd somehow beheaded twenty-three ogres, they all just submitted to me.
And that meant, the Ruby quest of ridding rid of them was also complete.
And now I had extra unpaid labor.
'I'll at least give them a proper home and food though…' Yeah, I had to definitely make sure of that.
"Still with the ogres, I think our combat strength shot up. And in case of emergencies, we could always just get mercenaries," I said.
That was another reason I was storing up on cash.
Preparations.
Loads of preparations.
"Combat strength? We're going to war?" Marie asked.
And wait- what we?
Did she already count herself in or something?
Come to think of it- 'Didn't she say, demon queen…'
A red flag.
No, not just one. I got plenty of red flags and from both of these women.
Too bad it was too late.
