Before Athena could lose her temple and rush out to teach the thick skinned man a good lesson.
Alexander who was sitting opposite Athena stood up with his wine cup and chuckled with a light laughter standing in front of Darren "hahaha what is general Darren saying, come let me drink with you unless the general darren doesn't have us in his eyes "
" sur,,,,,,, sure "Darren replied he felt like digging a hole and bury himself from such embarrassement.
Alexander looked at Michael and the latter understood his meaning without any words spoken, he brought his own cup forward and looked at every seriously as if giving an order without any objections from anyone.
" everyone let's toast general darren for his achievements, what do you say?? "
" yessss "everyone cheered and brought their own wine to make a toast how could they dare refuse.
others showed expression of pity while others were gloating for his misfortune, how could one make such a bold move in the presence of lady Athena with such friends backing her up,one from the Scarlett house while the other from the griffin house.
"no.... no...no I suddenly don't want to drink anymore" Darren expression turned sober as he looked at the officers who were eyeing him like a prey.
"no way the general has to drink, all else he will hear people saying we are looking down on the Wallace house"
"yes we agree as well"
"or maybe we are not worth the generals toast"
" we head that general is a good drinker "
everyone throw comments as they approached him with wine cups.
Darren gritted his teeth with a helpless expression in his eyes he could only curse everyone in his heart, their was nothing he could do but except their toast, he felt so much regret for his earlier actions if he had known he couldn't have dared to provoke the woman.
no matter how Alexander and Michael punished him by drinking everyones wine he couldn't habor the intention of resisting the two were like right and left hand man of the emperor.
By the time he drunk few cups of wine, the man had already collapsed on the floor like a log.
No one pitied the man as he was sent home after been knocked out from drinking too much.
"humph, serves him right for having wishful dreaming" Ellena scoffed as she was seating beside Athena she had wanted to retord but Alexander beat her to it.
"Alrighty everything is over now,stop sulking" Athena said to Ellena,then nodded towards Alexander and Michael for their help, otherwise she could have kicked the man out of the room without sparing his dignity or rather she didn't care about the mans dignity at all, if she did then it could turnish her reputation as a war goddess.
it in the late hours of the knight everyone scattered to their own homes or duties.
