Chapter 463 To the Empire?
féng he ran approached mu xue and mu yue and gave more information regarding the resistance group, the vigilants. however, it was clear that only a small group could approach the capital because of their current state. and most of the women around asura were just not in the position to sneak into the city.
'they will probably complain...' asura thought while stroking the soft silver hair of sigurd, who lay on his chest, sleeping quietly after staying the night.
"mmm...."
asura looked out the window with a sigh while letting sigurd roll around in his chest. he didn't want to take anyone with him in case something went wrong.
'well, sigurd will probably get angry, but her little dimples are cute when she gets mad.' his lips curled into a smile while stroking her soft cheeks.
the departure would be in four days, but asura still didn't announce who was leaving for the empire.
instead, he spent the past few days sleeping with the women who arrived and roaming the city while dating them slowly to make up for his absence.
'mu yue and féng he ran are needed, and it's probably enough to take lucia with me.' he looked down at sigurd once more with a small sigh before noticing her eyelashes fluttering as she pretended to sleep. "oh, did i wake you?"
"mm~ i woke up when you started stroking my hair.... last night you were too rough. my back is so sore."
"heeeh~ should i kiss it better? even though you kept asking for more."
your journey continues with empire
"..."
sigurd's pale skin reddened, and her cute little dimples came out to play while she frowned and glared at him.
"i never did! you just kept playing around down there like an animal and made me... hah... you are so needlessly good!"
asura snickered before he embraced sigurd, rubbing his chin against her neck and nipping her skin with his teeth playfully.
her reaction was immediate, as if his action had sparked her desire to fight—curling her legs around his waist, she wrapped around to his back and began to bite the back of his neck in retaliation.
'oh?' asura was mildly amused. sigurd never used to be so playful.nôv(el)b\\jnn
"you know, there are a lot more things that could be fun, but i don't want to make you angry."
"mm? you wouldn't dare. it's off the menu and swollen today!"
"hahaha, okay then, shall we go have breakfast soon? my neck is all sticky with your drool—stop licking me, sigurd."
"well, it's about time we spoke about the mission, right?" asura leaned back, the steaming coffee creating a trail of steam.
"mm, what will you do, darling?"
"husband, are you going to take me?"
xavida and mu xue seemed worried; however, he closed his eyes and began to think to himself. from the beginning of his new life, these two women were key to his growth and development, but xavida was an obvious demi-human who would be discriminated against in the empire. 'i don't want to endanger our children, yet not taking her feels stupid.'
asura put his arm on his chest while feeling something nagging in his heart.
'why does it feel strange to leave her behind? i also don't want to leave behind mu xue, but our children...'
"haa.... what do you think, miss féng, mu yue?" he let out a sigh while thinking to himself, weighing the pros and cons. "if it weren't for my unborn children, it would be easier to decide. maybe they're making me soft?"
"hm... we will have to act with caution, my lord. that much, i can guarantee. the capital after the bombing will likely be filled with guards and have heightened security." féng he ran said softly.
"yes, indeed. i believe only those that can risk everything should take part." mu yue nodded and clenched her fists.
"will it not endanger the mission more to take a demi-human?" sigurd asked. her hand was resting on her sword as she continued, her silver eyes looking toward asura as she asked a question that would help him avoid issues.
"hmm. well, it will make us stand out like sore thumbs." he sighed as he looked toward xavida with his lips pursed as if to ask whether she was okay. the dragoness only gave an indifferent nod and avoided looking him in the face, pouting, but she didn't deny their words.
'there is also the issue of them attacking arachneas or the new city being built in secret... i cannot take all our power for a mere scouting mission.'
asura decided and looked at sigurd, then xavida, before taking a deep breath. "sigurd, xavida, can i count on you both to protect this city and help with the construction of our neutral city?"
"of course. you know my power, and i'd do anything to make sure nothing happens to me or anyone here." sigurd looked serious as she gave a firm reply. "but you are not going to take me with you? your new wife feels so sad... it makes my body ache so much!" she gave a playful grin because asura knew she was joking about something unrelated to the mission.
'this woman loves playing with fire!'
"darling, is it better if i stay here?"
"if you could, xavi. i hope you are not upset, but i really don't want to risk anything..."
"mmm~ then when you come back, you must take me on a date like the first time! or i won't forgive you."
"ahhh, i promise..." he kissed the back of her hand with his mind, remembering the time they enjoyed fishing together in silvara before staying at the imperium hotel. 'it seems she wants to finish everything and return home...'
"i will be going to the empire with féng he ran, mu xue and mu yue." lucia's black eyes widened, her pupils dilated as she looked at asura in shock. "of course, lucia will be with me—she's my guard, of course." the moment he finished speaking, the lovely shade mouthed the words:
"you cruel bastard! i almost cried."
