I looked at the sight Anna pointed to and saw it was my bed.
I would have been so happy if she had asked me had told me this at any time. Anna asking me if we wanted to do anything sexual without me triggering it out of her or punishing her in the immoral sense, the thought itself was too great for me to comprehend.
If it had been any other time I would have accepted her in a heartbeat.
Unfortunately, we aren't alone and I can't act in a way that would frighten Alice into running away or thinking bad things about me… at least until she becomes loyal.
I give her a gentle but sad smile, "We shouldn't do anything for a few days."
Anna glanced at her room, "Is it because of her?"
"Yes, don't be angry but I need her to trust me. So for the time being, be happy with only this."
She was about to ask about what but I kissed her again, this time it was sensual and slow. We weren't using our tongue but our hearts to enjoy the soft and warm sensation.
As I parted with her, she had this happy smile on her, "Good night, master."
"Henry, call me that when we're alone."
She looked shocked for a second before giving a soft smile, "Alright… Henry."
I was practicing with my new sword early. I didn't need to go to some faraway place where there was empty land, there were training grounds in the city that could be rented for a while so I rented one.
It's been two long days since I had trained… and I knew that it didn't sound much, but with my infinite talent, wasting my time doing other things is already considered bad enough. If I used all of my time just practicing with a sword or just training myself like a mad protagonist… I'm sure I would have surpassed many villain's by now.
Still… I'm powerful enough right now, considering the story just started… but that shouldn't stop me from training further. Especially now that I've got a sword.
I swing the huge black sword again as the air shifted and pulled aside.
The sword's strong, remarkably so. I gather, it might be just as strong as Arthur's weapon right now. If only I could have a fight with that guy.
I turned to the sound and as expected it was Arthur. He was in a simple training outfit just like me. It was just a white shirt with leather wire like strap on and a slightly tight grey pants. Thɪs chapter is updated by novｅlfire.net
The leather wire like strap on was a defensive measure, if someone were to accidentally hit themselves or got hit during a fight, the strap on would only slow down the impact but it will still hurt.
A reminder to not play with swords.
"How did you find me?"
"Find you?... I didn't, they helped me." He said pointing towards other people who were gawking at me before but at one look of mine, all of them went back to their things.
"They were amazed by the way you were training, I'm sure they were thinking of how strong you could be."
"Or how ridiculous I looked using such a sword." I said with a smirk. I know they were most likely saying bad things about me but who cares, I'm stronger than all of them and that's why their jealous.
Arthur smiled silly, not knowing how to debunk those words.
"You train by yourself?"
"How about we train with each other?" He suggested.
I looked at him and at his waist where his sword lay.
"We have a real fight… no half-assing or using blunt weapons, we use our real swords and fight until one of us surrenders." I suggest and he becomes quiet.
Our surrounding felt silent even though there was sound all around us. As if this fight could change everything about us, Arthur thought hard. He took one look at my eyes and saw they were real, someone who wasn't joking.
"Alright… but if one of us gets injured, we call off the fight immediately."
"Good with me." I say prepping myself.
Arthur backed a few steps and took out his sword. He prepared himself for the fight ahead, he didn't know how it would end even while knowing his true strength, but there was something about me that simply made him take this as a real fight.
The people who were looking at me before now gathered along as they saw that Arthur and me were about to fight. Most didn't knew me, but they knew Arthur, they knew that he was the strongest among them.
"Look guys, a fight!"
"It's Arthur and that fat guy."
"Did you see the thing the fat guy's using… is that even a sword?"
"Of course not, some people just think that the bigger the sword, the greater you're winning chances." A guy said making bad remarks.
"I wouldn't be sure about that."
"You guys weren't there at the party the other night… that guy over there can really fight."
"That fatty? I don't believe it."
"I'm sure you'll change your mind later."
They must have thought that they were sneaky with the way they were talking or doing it deliberately but we heard it… I heard them all.
Oh, how I would like to just go there and snap each of those bastard's necks… but for now, let's keep it together.
"You sure you want to do this over here?" Arthur said, his eyes taking short glances at the crowd.
"Absolutely. Do you think that their words would hurt me?"
"No, but it could distract you from the fight."
"I could say the same about you."
"I'm used to hearing them, but not you."
"Don't worry… their talks don't matter to me. The only thing that matters is who's the strongest… and we're about to find that out."
He smiled too, showing his inner fighting beast, "Then let's show them a fight they'll never forget."
