Chapter 123 - 123

Anon is sitting outside the castle near a waterfall, alone. He is drinking his wine and puffing smoke from his cigar.

"What a lovely moon," Anon spoke as he looked at the sky.

'Is she looking at me?' Anon wondered as he turned his eyes toward his right a bit and noticed Faith standing at some distance from him.

She was standing near the carriages with her soldiers.

"Hahaha... and do you know what he said after that?"

"What?"

"It's my grandmother, you idiot..."

"Hahahaha..."

The soldiers were laughing and having a good time, but Faith had a very sad expression on her face as she observed Anon looking toward the moon.

'How lonely... He looks so heartbroken. I should talk to him, but what if I break his heart even more? I shouldn't talk to him, but I can't control my feelings...' Faith thought as she looked at Anon.

"Commander... Why are you standing there? Come on over here. I am telling jokes." One of the soldiers spoke.

"Huh...? No, no, you guys enjoy. Listen, I am going to take a stroll... you guys be alert, okay?" Faith spoke.

"Yes, ma'am." All of them spoke at once.

After this, Faith started walking toward Anon, who was pretending to be sad and lonely.

After a bit of walking, she reached near him. Gathering all of her strength, she finally spoke up, "Hi."

"Hmm...? Oh, you. Hi," Anon spoke as he smiled toward Faith.

"What are you doing here, out alone? You should be with the Queen, right?" Faith asked.

"She said I can eat my food and then come back to her room. Since I skipped my food, I am sitting here to admire the beauty of this moon," Anon spoke.

"Can I sit here?" Faith asked.

"You are the commander; you can do whatever you want. Sit wherever you want, eat whatever you want, or break the heart of whichever guy you like," Anon spoke in a taunting manner.

"Mr. Jule, I am sorry that you had to take this punishment. Please, can I make it up to you in any way?" Faith spoke as she felt the guilt crushing her soul.

"Yeah, you can. Just don't fucking crush the heart of the next guy that you date. Cheers..." Anon spoke as he stood up from his seat and drank the last bit of his wine. He put down the glass of wine near Faith and started walking back into the mansion.

"Mr. Jule... Please—" Faith stood up as she tried to stop Anon, but she sealed her lips because her heart was feeling more and more guilty with each second.

'Yes, Yes... the more I scratch on your injury, the more it will hurt,' Anon thought as he smiled and continued to walk toward the Queen's VIP room.

"Umm... excuse me. Where is Elven Queen's VIP Chamber?" Anon asked one of the maids.

"Please come with me, Sir," a maid spoke as she started guiding Anon toward a new hall.

Anon followed the maid, and after a while, both of them stopped in front of a room that had huge wooden gates and a golden plate on the door that said 'Queen Fiona'.

The maid turned around and left immediately.

"Thanks..." Anon spoke as he opened the door and entered the room.

As soon as he entered the room, he noticed that Fiona is sitting on the sofa, and in front of her was Derein.

Behind Derein stood two girls; they had swords but they weren't soldiers or bodyguards. They had a smile on their faces... it means they were someone close to her.

'They are Derein's daughters,' Anon immediately understood.

"Is he the gentleman you were talking about, Miss. Fiona?" Derein asked with a smile.

"Yeah, he is the one," Fiona answered with a smile.

"Well, guess you didn't teach him knocking manners... Madam Queen," one of Derein's daughters spoke up with a smile.

"Anna, is that your way of talking?" Derein immediately scolded her.

"S-Sorry, mother," Anna apologized immediately.

"I am sorry; he is new in his job. Doesn't know too much about being a butler, but believe me... he is very strong. I mean really strong. He used a sacred howling skill yesterday... you must've heard him, from here," Fiona asked as she bragged about Anon.

"Oh, that was you?" Derein asked with a shocked expression.

"Yes, that was really cool. He tore through the heavens with his voice," Fiona bragged even more; she wanted to let Derein know that she has someone strong on her side.

"Well, that's good for the Elves," Derein replied as she looked at Anon with a smile.

Wink

Suddenly Anon winked at Derein.

'Wait... did he just wink at me?' Derein wondered as she looked at Anon with a confused expression.

Chk

Suddenly Anna unsheathed her sword and pointed it directly at Anon's face.

"You dare wink at my mother? Don't you forget your limits, you lowly thing," Anna shouted.

Chk

Her other daughter also withdrew her sword and pointed it toward Anon.

"Your children are really furious, Derein," Fiona spoke as she mocked Derein with a smile.

"Both of you, swords down," Derein ordered, but none of them listened to her.

"I said, swords down," Derein shouted again.

"You should hear orders from your mother, Luv," Anon spoke up as he touched Anna's sword and started vibrating it at such a high frequency that it broke down into nothing but powder.

"What the...? How did you do that?" Anna asked with a furious expression.

'Luv? Wait... Oh My God... It's Him. He is Anon.' Derein immediately understood as the memories from the battle started rushing into her mind.

"See? Isn't he strong?" Fiona bragged with her bragging face.

"Ahem... please allow me to go to the restroom." Derein spoke as she started walking toward the exit door, but as soon as she came across Anon, she blinked back at him.

"Mother should we come with you?" Both of her daughters asked at once.

"No, you are too big to follow me around. I will go alone," Derein spoke up as she exited the room.

"Uhm, I think I forgot something very important to me in the buffet room. I will come back in a moment," Anon spoke up as he exited the room as well.

"O...Kay?" Fiona spoke as she noticed that Anon has already gone, before she even gave him the permission.

As soon as he exited the room, Derein hugged him tightly.

"Where were you for the last two months?" Derein asked. 

Derein and Anon are standing outside Fiona's VIP room.

"What are you saying? You didn't identify me from the face? Didn't your butler show you the face of the Elf he captured for me?" Anon asked with a shocked expression.

"No, I wasn't that interested in looking at an Elf's face," Derein replied.

"Hmm...? So, you don't like this face?" Anon asked as he pointed toward his face.

"Well, you might be the first and last elf whose face I like so much that I want to kiss it," Derein spoke as she smiled.

"Well, can't say no to that..." Anon replied with a smirk.

"So, what have you been doing in the Elven Kingdom for the past 2 months?" Derein asked with a smile.

"Well, I am taking control over the Elven Kingdom... Slowly," Anon spoke.

"Really? How many men do you have under you, from the Elven Kingdom? Can we invade and win?" Derein asked with an excited expression.

"No, Luv. War won't bring you anything other than corpses and destruction. Let me handle it my way," Anon spoke.

"Ugh... I just can't stand those fucking Elves... living their peaceful lives as if they didn't kill my daughter and husband. I want to fucking erase them..." Derein spoke with a very angry expression.

"Yep, that's exactly what the elven girl sitting inside the room wants to do with you guys. Wait, I have a gift for you. You will like it..." Anon spoke as he opened his inventory and started searching for something in it.

"Hmm...? A gift? I don't think you can surprise me with anything; I am a queen, Anon. There is nothing in this world that I can't—" Before Derein could've completed her sentence, Anon pulled out a blood-stained bag from his inventory.

"Found it... here." Anon spoke as he handed over the bag to Derein.

"What is... this?" Derein spoke as she opened the bag and looked inside it.

Tears started falling from her eyes; she looked at Anon with a wide smile and spoke, "Thank you, Sir Anon. I never received a gift more soothing than this one..."

"Maid..." Derein called out loudly.

"Yes, My Queen." A maid immediately came and bowed down to Derein.

"Here... put this thing in my room and don't even let anyone touch it. Do you understand?" Derein asked with a very serious expression.

"Y-Yes... ma'am." The maid took the bag from Derein's hands and immediately left for her room.

"Where is Arthur? I thought you guys got married?" Anon asked.

"We did, and in the knight style. Clashed our swords, until both of our bodies fell down to the ground. Under the shining moon, we exchanged our rings. Now, he is basically the king of two kingdoms, mine and his.

I am also the Queen of two kingdoms now. He is out in your kingdom, in order to eliminate a dragon."

"A what?" Anon asked with a shocked expression.

"A dragon... didn't you hear about it? They started appearing more often after the hill broke down last year... it was around the time you had that race. Do you remember, now?" Derein asked.

"Ah... that hill, that transformed into a valley, right?" Anon spoke.

"Yeah, that one. They say that the Fallen Dragon King has risen again due to the hill break, and he defeated the current ruler of the dragons. He forced them to reproduce at a very high speed in order to produce more soldiers." Derein explained.

"Ah... really? So, are they attacking humans, now?" Anon asked.

"No, they are searching for demon tribes in the forests of the west... they want to eliminate every last one of them, that's why their king signed an agreement with us... No human will go into the dragon domain, and no Dragon will come into the human domain.

If any of the party breaks the deal, the rule-breaker should be killed directly. No trials, no problem listening, nothing... just instant death.

That's why Arthur is a bit busy nowadays... he stands with his forces on the boundaries of the Kingdom, and whenever any dragon crosses the line... he kills them instantly." Derein spoke.

"I see... that's one difficult job huh?" Anon spoke.

"Yes, he only comes home for 2 months and spends 10 months on the borders." Derein answered.

"Well, that's Arthur for you." Anon spoke as he smiled at Derein.

"So, what do you want in return for that gift? Ask anything; I will give it to you." Derein asked with a smile.

'Yep, the right moment has come, and I don't have to waste my favor as well. I can use it later to sleep with her... hehehe...' Anon thought as he smiled in his mind.

"Well, now that you asked. I do need something," Anon spoke.

"Ask, anything... if I can give it... I will give it, without wasting one second. Even if it's my body. Just say the word..." Derein spoke.

"I don't want your body, Derein. Not for now, at least," Anon replied.

"Hmm...? Oh, I understand now. You want to marry my daughters, huh...? You naughty boy. Don't worry, you have my permission... you can have both of them too.

When do you want to marry them?" Derein asked with an excited expression.

"Wow... that's one good thing that I heard from the morning, but no, and don't distract me again and again by giving me perverted thoughts about you or your daughters," Anon replied as he cleared his mind.

"So, what do you want then?" Derein asked.

"I want you to kiss me." Anon spoke.

"Wait... isn't that, what I just said?" Derein spoke in a confused expression.

"No, Luv. You have to understand this, I want you to kiss me in front of a specific girl, okay? I am this close to taking over the Elven Kingdom and if you do this... I guarantee you. I will enslave the whole fucking Elven Kingdom in just 10 days," Anon explained with a smile.

"You are not kidding, are you?" Derein asked with a serious expression.

"I am not. If you kissed me in front of her... I will really be able to take over the Elven Kingdom," Anon spoke.

"I will kiss you in front of anyone you want, as long as you can take over these Elves... just tell me who is she?" Derein asked with a passionate expression.

"Well, she has blue hair and blue eyes. She is standing near the carriages... I will tell you when to kiss me, don't worry," Anon spoke.

"Wait... are you talking about Faith? The chief commander of the White Elves?" Derein asked.

"Yeah, you know her?" Anon asked with a surprised expression.

"Yes, I do. She comes with your Elven Queen every year," Derein explained.

"Ah... Okay," Anon spoke as he nodded his head in understanding.

"We should go back inside or my daughters will come out searching for me," Derein spoke.

"Yes, and one more thing, you have stupid daughters, do you know that?" Anon spoke as he started walking towards the door with Derein.

"Yeah, I know. They are adopted, can't do anything; their mother was a very brilliant warrior.... but now they are my daughters, and they love me so much. I can ignore their fat minds, in front of all that love; they keep me going when Arthur leaves," Derein spoke as she entered inside the room.

Anon waited a bit before entering, and after exactly 30 seconds passed, he entered inside.

Creak

Everyone looked at Anon with a smile, and he looked back at everyone with a confused expression.

'Wait... Is something wrong here?' Anon thought as he looked at Derein and saw her smiling at Anon.

"Mr. Jule, these two young ladies want to test out their skills with you. Can you please do the honors? It will just be a really short match," Fiona spoke as she looked at Anon with a wide smile.

On the other side, Derein's daughters also had big smiles on their faces, as if they can defeat Anon in just one second.

"I don't think we are here to fight..." Anon whispered in Fiona's ears.

"Umm... give me a second, ladies. I want to have a small chat with my butler. Come with me..." Fiona spoke as she exited the room with Anon.

"So, what did you two do? Explain yourselves now," Derein asked with an angry expression.

"Mom, she was bragging about her butler too much. So, I kind of asked her for a duel with him, but sister supported me as well," Anna spoke up with a guilty face.

"Hey, you don't have to drag me down with you. Mom, I didn't say anything about a physical duel with swords and stuff, I asked for a magic duel," Jenna spoke up.

"Okay, here is what you two will do once they come back in... you two will apologize for your behavior and cancel this duel. Do you understand, ladies?" Derein spoke as she looked at both of them with a very angry expression.

"We are sorry, Mother." Both of them apologized.

"Good..." Derein replied.

"...But we can't take back a duel." Anna spoke.

"What?"

"Yes, mother. Sister is right. We can apologize if you want, but as warriors of the human kingdom, we won't take back our duels." Jenna added.

"You two idiots..." Derein spoke as she grabbed her temples.

'How do I tell them that the one they are asking for a fight will kill them before they even blink,' Derein thought with a worried expression.

Outside the room...

"What are you doing, Mr. Jule? I said you are going to fight them, means you are going to fight them... Why are you giving me excuses?" Fiona asked with a serious expression.

"They don't have an immortal arena here... if one of them or both of them died, how would you explain it?" Anon spoke.

Suddenly Fiona started thinking about it...

'He is right... if he killed even one of them. Everything will drop on me. I can't afford to attend more memorials...'

"Okay, we are going to deny the duel," Fiona spoke as she looked at Anon with an understanding look.

'Well, that was easy. Guess she is not a total stupid bitch...' Anon thought in his mind as both of them entered inside the room again.

"Queen Fiona, you are back. Please take a seat... my daughters may have something they want to say to you," Derein spoke as she smiled at Fiona.

"We are very sorry for our behavior, Queen Fiona." Both of Derein's daughters immediately apologized by slightly bowing down.

"Oh... Oh, okay. It means you are taking back the request of your duel, right?" Fiona asked with a smile.

"Yes..." Derein spoke.

"No..." Anna immediately spoke up.

"No..." Jenna added.

"What does that mean?" Fiona asked with a confused expression.

"We may have apologized to you, Queen Fiona, but as warriors of the human kingdom, we will not be able to take back the Duel's request," Anna spoke up.

"Oh... is that so? Well, according to my butler here... he can't have a duel with you guys because he thinks he will hurt you," Fiona replied with a smile.

"Ah... is that so?" Jenna spoke up as she looked at Anon with a smile.

"Yes, that's right. I was thinking just that," Derein spoke up as she tried to stop it from happening.

"Yeah, that or maybe he isn't man enough to duel with two ladies at once. Hahaha..." Anna spoke as she mocked Anon with a smile.

"What?" Fiona asked with a very serious expression.

"N-No, that's not what she wanted to say. She—"

"Let's do this..." Anon spoke up with a menacing smile on his face.

"Fuck..." Derein knew that her step-daughters have messed up.

"Umm... Hey, did you forget about the killing thing already ?" Fiona asked as she whispered into Anon's ears.

"Fuck killing, I will show her my balls and if I am man enough or not... isn't that what you wanted too ?" Anon asked Fiona.

"Okay, let's do this." Fiona spoke as she turned around with a big smile on her face.

"I accept your duel, ladies," Anon spoke with a menacing smile.

"HoHoHo... Mr. Butler finally accepted the duel," Jenna spoke as she laughed at Anon.

"Good, that's more like a man. Now, let's take this to the fighting grounds in the back," Anna spoke as she exited the room with Jenna and Fiona.

Thud

"I am so sorry, Sir Anon. These two idiotic girls... I can't do anything about them. Please be merciful on them and don't kill them," Derein requested.

"Don't worry, Derein. I won't kill my friend's daughters... since when do you think I became such a monster?" Anon asked with a surprised expression.

"Umm... last time, if I remember correctly... you held a huge scythe in your hands, and you swung it in a circular pattern. That ended up killing hundreds and thousands of zombies in one second. After that, you took lightning and rained it down on us like hell," Derein spoke up.

"Yeah, you don't need to remind me of those things. I remember them, and believe me, I won't do any of those things with your daughters," Anon spoke as he also left the room with Derein.

In the buffet hall...

creak

"Everyone, Madam Jenna and Madam Anna have challenged the Elf butler for a duel. Let's go and watch," a man shouted as soon as he entered the room.

"What?"

"Oh my God... I would love to watch that."

"Yeah, me too."

"Can't wait to see him getting beaten by two ladies at once."

"Hahaha... let's all go."

Everyone immediately started moving towards the training grounds.

Anon and both the sisters are standing inside the arena right now staring at each other.

"You don't find it unfair, do you, Mr. Butler? Fighting two against one?" Anna asked with a smile.

"I do," Anon answered.

"Oh, well we can fight you one by-" Before Anna could've completed her sentence, Anon interrupted her.

"Bring a hundred more pairs to stand a chance against me... who am I kidding....? Even a hundred won't be enough," Anon spoke as he looked at both of them.

"Y-You..." Anna tried to say something, but she couldn't because her mother was standing right behind her.

"You are over-confident and bluffing it," Jenna spoke as she looked at Anon.

"Maybe... Why don't you give it a try?" Anon spoke as he smiled at her.

"Woah... they are really fighting."

"Oh my god... he is going down bad."

"They are the best combination fighters I know in history."

"Yep, he is a goner."

Anon looked around and noticed that the audience has already arrived to look at the match.

'What is he trying to do? Why would he accept a duel against two people? Is he dumb or something?' Luna wondered as she looked at Anon with a curious look.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's start this... Take out your weapons..." Fiona Announced with a very loud voice.

"On the name of God, I call upon you... The Sacred Frost Staff," Jenna spoke as she summoned a big frost staff with a snowflake made out of ice on its top.

[Name: The Sacred Frost Staff]

[Rank: A]

[Blacksmith: Unknown]

[Description: This staff was made by an Unknown Blacksmith in the valleys of Northern mountains. It was built in ancient times and the wielder of this Staff will yield the power of the Snow Queen, itself.]

"On the Name of God, I call upon you... The 7th cursed sword of Flaming Phoenix," Anna spoke as a burning hot sword appeared in her hand.

[Name: The 7th cursed sword of the Flaming Phoenix]

[Rank: S]

[Blacksmith: Hodok]

[Description: A very Ancient and Master blacksmith named, The great Hodok made this weapon, but its power was too much for a single sword... that's why Hodok broke it into 7 swords and gave it to his seven friends.

It is said that the one who will collect all these swords and make them one again, will hold the power that will be unparalleled with any other sword in this world.]

"My, My... those are some beautiful things you have in your hands," Anon spoke as he opened his inventory and started searching around for something.

"What can be his weapon?" Jenna asked with a serious expression.

"I don't know, guess we will see it in just a moment," Anna replied.

"Ah, here you are..." Anon spoke as he pulled his hand out of his inventory.

"The fuck?"

"Is that a?"

Everyone was surprised when they saw what Anon has withdrawn from his inventory.

"That's a cigar, right?" Anna asked Jenna.

"Yes, unless it's some other magic artifact... I am perfectly sure, that is a cigar," Jenna replied.

"Oi, Are you kidding here? Where is your weapon, that you are going to use in the fight?" Anna asked with an angry expression.

Anon puts the cigar in between his lips and holds it with his left hand.

Click

He snapped two of his fingers and used the spell fireball. Suddenly a small fireball appeared over Anon's middle finger.

He slowly brought his middle finger up and lit the cigar with the fireball.

"He is showing you the middle finger..." Jenna spoke.

"You idiot... he is showing it to both of us." Anna replied.

"That... Cigar lighting style. I have seen it before..." Luna spoke as she tried to remember where she saw it.

"Yeah, me too...and believe me not on a Good man." Frank who was standing right besides Luna spoke.

"Huh...? What do you mean?" Luna asked with a confused expression.

"It's Sir, Anon's lighting style." Frank spoke with a tensed expression.

"Correct, now I remember... wait, how does he know it then?" Luna wondered.

'That guy is none other than Anon, himself. That motherfucker came back. I thought he died somewhere, but this fucker is still alive.' Frank thought in his mind with an unpleasant expression on his face.

"Start in....3.....2.....1... GO." Fiona Announced.

"Snow teleportation..." Jenna spoke, and suddenly many snowflakes appeared out of nowhere and covered both of their bodies.

As the snowflakes settled down, Anon noticed that both of the sisters disappeared from their positions and re-appeared behind Anon.

'He is done for.' Anna thought as she swung her sword with full strength.

"Yeah, as if..." Anon spoke as he puffed out smoke and his body also disappeared from his position.

"What?"

"How?"

Both of the sisters missed their attacks at the same time, but before they could've landed on the ground, Anon re-appeared over their heads.

He puts his right leg on Jenna's head and his left leg on Anna's head.

"He is above-" Before Anna could've warned Jenna, Anon came down at both of them with full force, and their faces collided with the ground very brutally.

Their noses broke instantly.

Thud

Derein immediately closed her eyes and turned her head towards the other direction.

"Oops... did I forget to tell you that, I don't give a fuck about Gender Equality?" Anon spoke as he slightly stepped down from their heads.
