Chereads / The Legendary Emperor King / Chapter 36 - Chapter 4 - The Myth

Chapter 36 - Chapter 4 - The Myth

In one night, Asu continent...

 Mandarin empire, Henan Province...

 Hwang, entrance to the city...

- Qin-Shi Huang (in front of 50 thousand men): Brothers, it's time! Let's go to the capital, take what is rightfully ours!

- One of the men (next to Arthur and Qin, looks at Qin): When are we leaving?

- Arthur Treadway (looks at the man): Right now! (at an impressive speed, runs towards the city)

On the same night, east coast of the empire...

 Somewhere in the ocean, Protoss Island...

 Training room...

- Princess Alexia Aesir (hair down, enters the room, sits on a bench) "How cold...": You're too strange for a princess, you know? (shivering)

- Mayara (training on a punching bag, sweating, sighs): What do you want?!

- Princess Alexia Aesir (looking at Mayara, runs her hand over her face): You are very, how can I say, you are too rough and rude for a woman...

- Mayara (veins come out on her face while throwing blows against the punching bag) "I heard your voice, and I'm tired of it.": I've been trained since I was born. I have no siblings, my father had no sons, only me and my sister, and she ran away... (smiles sarcastically): And you're too weak for a woman...

- Princess Alexia Aesir (seated, rubs hands on knees) "Her childhood must have been difficult...": So, you were raised as a man... Another question I wanted to ask, your name is Maya or Mayara?

- Mayara (stops punching, looks at Alexia): Mayara is what my father calls me, Maya is the name my mother gave me. Now you, who are you? To Arthur, what are you exactly? (with injured fists from so many punches)

- Princess Alexia Aesir (sees that Mayara's fists are injured, comes close to her and holds her hands, smiles): What do you mean who am I? I am Alexia, your friend, sister and servant of Arthur, although at some point we will all be his servants...

- Mayara (looking at Alexia, looks at her fists): What do you mean we will be his servants?! What did you do to my hands... (she notices that they are no longer red, and the pain has ceased): Did you do that? How?!

- Princess Alexia Aesir (smiling): Weren't they hurting? I just helped a little bit. And about Arthur, you've been told about what he said in the meeting, and you know he doesn't usually joke. And lately he's not the most peaceful person in the world, with the power of the King's Force in his hands, he'll be unstoppable, and its better if he guides us as our king, because a leader, he is already compelled to be, we live in a patriarchal world... (trembling, hides the shiny tattoos on her hands, puts her hand on her forehead) 

- Mayara (looking at Alexia, realizes that she is bothered): Alexia, what happened? (sees her shaking a lot)

- Princess Alexia Aesir (sits on the bench, takes a deep breath): I'm fine, just dizzy... (panting)

- Mayara (sits next to Alexia, with veins on her face): You look like your pregnant. It's better to say if there's anything, say it blondie! (grunts)

- Princess Alexia Aesir (looking at Maya, grunts): YOU!!! (hits her): I am not pregnant, and you don't have to be so aggressive...

- Mayara (laughing): Was that supposed to hurt me? (sighs): All right princess Alexia, about Arthur. Do you think that will cool him down? Do you want to hand over the throne of the amazons into his hands based on that? Who told you that's what he wants? (looks away from her)

- Princess Alexia Aesir (smiling): But it's a simple thought, who better to reign than the Dragon King?

- Mayara (laughing, looks at Alexia): Very naïve dear cute friend, being the strongest doesn't mean being the best king, and the amazons prefer death than being ruled by a man...

Days later...

Mandarin empire, Henan Province...

 Hwang city, in a forest...

 In the middle of the trees...

- Qin-Shi Huang (grunts, looks at Arthur): What do we do?

- Arthur Treadway (looks at the men, then at the enemies): Giants...? (sighs): I heard about them, but that doesn't change the plan, its better in fact... (smiles)

- One of the men (trembling, looks at Arthur): Giants?! We're going to die...

- Qin-Shi's men (fearfully, murmur)

- Arthur Treadway (exchanges glances with Qin): Don't worry! Me and Qin-Shi are going in front, you attack from the sides and from behind, let's make it look like we're a large army...

- Qin-Shi Huang (takes his katana out of its scabbard, smiling, runs): Look who's here!

- The enemies (look at Qin, indignant)

- Arthur Treadway (looking at the giants): Come on, soldiers! (appears next to Qin)

- Qin-Shi Huang (laughing, looks at Arthur): I haven't had fun like this since the academy days...

- Arthur Treadway (looks at the giants coming, gets into combat position): I hope they give me a fight...

- Qin-Shi (laughing, attacks with the katana in his right hand): They're too slow, let's go to them!

- Arthur Treadway (looking at one of the giants, advances)

- The giant (seeing Arthur approaching at an imperceptible speed, steps back): Did you see that?!

- Arthur Treadway (sighs, with the swords uses the art of the amazons, cuts off the giant's arms, then the head)

- Qin-Shi Huang (laughs while dodging, with the katana he makes an S on an enemy's chest): An autograph... (slits another's throat)

- Qin-Shi's men (watching the two fight): Monsters...

- One of them (raises his sword): Let's attack! (runs to the battlefield)

Sehal... 

 Hera's Base...

- Arwen (sitting by a campfire, looking at it): I heard rumors of a man, they say he destroyed the city of Nix, all by himself...

- Rohan (sitting, head bowed, sighs): And the caravan of love, is gone... (tears fall)

- Luana (sitting, looks at Rohan): Stupid twerp! Well done for them, they were vicious women...

- Rohan (gets closer to her): Don't be angry Lu, they don't reach your feet...

- Luana (looking at him, raises an eyebrow): What are you talking about?

- Darlan (passing, sighs): All rumors! Now eat because tomorrow we have more.

- Princess Hera Olympus (sits, looks at the three of them): What were you guys talking about?

- Arwen (looking at her, blushes, clears his throat): A-A m-man who destroyed a city alone...

- Rohan (smiles): I do even more... (showing his muscles to Luana)

- Luana (punches him): What's wrong with you?! (grunts)

- Princess Hera Olympus (looks at the campfire, sighs): Of course, I just hope he's not in the enemy's army...

- Luana (looks at Hera): Losing hope...?

- Princess Hera Olympus (looking at the campfire): I don't know, everything was lost so fast, we are losing every day, with each passing day the enemies appear stronger, now they are 30-meter giants...

- Darlan (arms crossed, behind Hera): I agree, but I don't think a myth like the King's Force will make a difference, we need more allies, that's what we need...

- Arwen (looking at Darlan, laughs): Myth?

- Darlan (sits, sighs): I was like you when I was young, I believed in those things, that the Ultimate Dragon Lord would come down from heaven and fight for all of us, but one day, after having believed for a long time, Zeus's men entered my home village, and raped the women, then killed everyone and everything. I managed to hide that day, I didn't fight because I was a coward, because I believed that a certain god would descend from heavens and save us. I waited, and waited, until it was my wife and our daughter's turn, but even so... (wipes away tears): I didn't have the strength to get out of that bush, they were raped and killed by the soldiers, I swore revenge against them and that I would never believe such lies again...

- Princess Hera Olympus (looks at Darlan): Boss, I didn't know...

- Luana (looking at Darlan): Boss...

- Darlan (wipes away his tears, smiles): Now eat! Tomorrow, we have to go out to fight... (walks away)
