Chapter 36 - Tired

Theodore is yawning, he looks tired, his mouth shakes because he wants to prevent yawning. He looks at the crowd in front of him, thousands of soldiers ready to hear his command. "Well what shall we do?" Said Seraphine.

He didn't hear it, focusing on what came after, he was lost in thoughts. Everyone can see he didn't have the best week of his life, Serapine touched him and he snapped out of this thinking. Yawning again he looks at her.

She repeats the question she addressed not too long ago.

Theodore sighs. "Let me think…" He doesn't seem ready to do anything, his eyes are struggling to stay open, he yawns again. "How many clan houses are in this shit. "You didn't count when you slaughtered their leaders?" Said lord Goldhaven, the words were meant to hurt Theodore. "If you were in my situation, you would've seen only red in your eyes."

Theodore looks at him, with a look that people will confuse Theodore with the dead.

"Be thankful I still have the decency to let you live…"

"There is no decency in a Bloodhearth!" Theodore walks up to him and slaps him, he ends up on the ground, his neck hurts, his jaw was moved to the right and a tooth fell out of his mouth.

"We Bloodhearths treated you all like family, you wanted us dead for no plausible reason except growth in income, Bloodhearth decency might be nonexistent, but you're" Theodore's struggle to find his words. "Dean Goldheaven, you're below us!" Theodore turns to the sea like army and sighs, they look eager to hear his words.

Theodore looks at Fiora, and reminds himself of the good day, where he and the Goldhaven children have been playing and having fun. He wished that the old days would come back, he wished he never was in this situation, that he didn't lead anyone, he doesn't deserve this, that's what he believes.

"Fiora, come here." Fiora walks towards Theodore, her heart racing, when she looks at him, in that uniform, she remembers how much he betrayed him and now he still wants her to be on his side. She gets beside him, and looks at the army. He wraps his arm over her shoulder.

"From today's forward, SHE IS YOUR QUEEN!" Shouts Theodore, it echoed till the lines behind and back. The soldiers noded and gave the formal: "Yes SIR!"

"We are marching back to Liberta, we are marching back to kill those responsible for your sins! The three queens and their children… March!"

"That week was supposed to be Theodore's coronation, from a small child 2 years ago, to a man feared by gods." In the god palace, Fei was reading a book entitled Theodore Bloodhearth's life book. "Ain't that interesting Nara?" The Goddesses of death, fate and Victory were reviewing the past history of Theodore Bloodhearth. "How long was it, 30 pages? More?"

The goddess of fate was looking down at Teris with a special gem.

"Faith, why are you so concerned with this kid, I just talked to him and didn't seem a threat." Nara slaps Fei. "

You don't talk about Theodore like this here." Fei raised an eyebrow.

"Excuse me, I don't have such a terrible follower like yours." Faith gets up and looks at them, both of them stand still, death never felt this before and tried to move, she couldn't.

"You two should talk less, on this topic you shouldn't even be here. The fate of anyone including gods is linear, but when someone like Theodore comes in, his fate is changing like the flow of the universe, nearly everlasting. Nara, I won't judge you for helping him, he would've got out of that situation one way or another." The Goddesses can now move.

Fei looked scared. "Is this how strong you are? And you still are afraid of a mortal?" She looked again at the gem. "Only if he was a mortal…" Fei throws Theodore's life book on the ground, the pages rip and get torn on the ground. They were all empty, she looked at them and suddenly Theodore's book appeared in her hands.

"What? How did it end up in my hand again." Faith scratched her head and gave a small sigh. "So why do we still keep records of him then?" Faith snaps her fingers and the book comes in her hands. The one on the floor turns to ashes. "That's 55th" She opens the book, looking brand new and sees Theodore in the throne room of Liberta's capital.

"This is not the first Theodore Bloodhearth life book." She closed the book and placed it back in its place. "This one it's his 55th." She sat on a couch made out of marble and pillows. "Since birth he changed destiny over 55 times"

Fei looked at Faith like she was talking nonsense. "You know no normal person can do that, right?" She shakes her head. Fei looks down at the floor, looking ashamed of herself. Nara was sitting on a chair, looking at Fei getting scolded.

She claps her hands. "Thank you for the show! "Not even us, accepting me can't do it"

Faith looks at the gem. "I'd say you should go back to your places, Theodore is gonna commit a genocide of high clans and nobility."
