Chapter 33: Green-skinned woman
The fifth prince got a place for himself after leaving the general's tent.
He also acquired enough information from the old man Henry, so Vis had been already thinking about his future while laying on the bed.
The spies from the Merthic Empire had brought reports about the impending charge that was about to happen soon.
Vis wasn't the only one to be sent here as other troops had joined the Kufu Border already. It was clear that those reports were taken seriously and a few sources had confirmed this charge.
The Kuyu Empire's origins were related to the Monkey God.
They had descendants with this very bloodline, but a lot of humans had been mixed within their lands as the Kuyu Empire had once a domineering conquest.
Other empires had allied to stop that conquest and took back what was theirs including their races.
But humans could adapt to anything and part of humanity was left within the Kuyu Empire!
Thanks to that, The Merthic Empire's spies had no problems blending into the environment and could use their techniques to smell around.
"Monkey God… Sounds fun," Vis uttered to himself, then rolled on the bed, "As usual, I can't sleep… This is already a bother…" Vis decided to go around and look at the construction of the wall.
Even if it was already night, people were working with torches scattered around.
Though it was hard to spot anyone coming from afar, the commoners didn't pay much attention to Vis even after seeing him.
They continued to work as if he was the air and the same went for soldiers.
It allowed him to just go around without any accompaniment or questions, so Vis didn't hate that at all. He looked around the land from atop the wall.
The environment, the soldiers, and the general all played a great role in the wars.
Vis made sure to keep an eye on those and use his own army at the best moment possible.
After remembering enough, Vis left the wall and slowly strolled across the land… The atmosphere at the border was kinda stressed, but people had their ways of relieving themselves.
The sound and annoying musky smell sometimes could be felt by the fifth prince, but he was pretty far away from General Fran's tent, so these people could go all out with their desires.
On his way back, Vis spotted the old man Henry, "At this age, I would expect you to sleep more, old man."
Henry laughed, "What about Young Prince? Is it hard to sleep without a woman?"
His words piqued Vis' interest. There was also a slight suspicion within his heart about his sleepless nights.
Just like the old man said, he lacked a woman's company. His bloodline kept growing because of the black bones and his achievements. His undead army's abilities were also going up.
All of this put a toil on his body and he perhaps needed a strong stimulation to just go asleep?
The silence was taken as 'Yes' and the old man proposed, "I can arrange more women for the Young Prince… This is the royal bloodline we are talking about after all."
"No need," Vis raised his hand to stop the old man, "I find it hard to imagine our empire's women living here just for that purpose. I can imagine a few of them working in this way, though."
As the understanding immediately flashed through the old man's face, he nodded and said, "We have few women from our empire, but most women that keep our soldiers warm are from the Kuyu Empire… That is the fate of those who lost."
"I don't think I have seen male slaves," Vis probed, but the old man pointed his finger at the certain group of commoners who had been working on the most dangerous parts of the construction.
Upon taking a closer look, Vis could distinguish them from commoners and nodded to the old man, "I see."
"We do have virgins though, Young Prince," Since the old man misunderstood, he proposed something harsher for Vis. He felt bad for those women, but what could he do?
"Oh, true…" Vis could save them by keeping them busy in his tent, "Bring all virgins to my tent."
-
"Ridiculous!" One of the soldiers roared on his watch.
He just saw all those fresh and beautiful women being taken away to the fifth prince's tent! Looking at all those 'rewards' disappearing one by one, he threw a tantrum, but everyone else could only sigh and join him.
All of them ended up throwing insults at Vis, "Useless Prince… He must've awakened his carnal desires and look what happened! Fuck! For any woman he does, one of our soldiers should get a night with his mother."
"Idiot, watch your tongue. She is still His Majesty The Emperor's wife…" A more clear-headed soldier stopped his friend, then looked with pity at the leaving women.
Every soldier who had just seen this march of beautiful women suddenly felt cold shivers going down their spine.
They turned around and spotted a green-skinned woman whose eyes were shining with red orbs.
She smiled at them, "You don't have to feel that alone… anymore." This smile just built up their fear more.
Then… She came closer… and began bitting soldiers one by one…
