Chapter 56

I wake up with Luna's head resting on my chest. Wait.... LUNA! I remember her having a separate room. When did she sneak into bed with me, Lucy, Sara, Kate, and Priscilla? I look down at Luna and cough. She opens her eyes and looks up at me smiling. This woman.

"When did you come in here?" I asked her.

"When you fell asleep and Lucy got me." Luna answers.

She then plants her lips onto mine and my eyes go wide. I hear Lucy chuckle. Ah hell, didn't figure that her mother would be this aggressive to sleep with me. As soon as we stop kissing, I look around and see Lucy, Sara, Kate, and Priscilla looking at us, smiling.

"You girls was in on this?" I asked.

All of them at the same time said, "Yes."

These girls. At least I know that I have my boxers still on so there was no funny business.

"Time for some breakfast." I said as Luna got of bed so I can get up and ready.

30 minutes later...

"Joe, you going to come with me?" I asked my brother as soon as we both was done eating.

"Yes, I can. I want to see the beggar you saved yesterday. I need to see how bad this city is to fix the problem with the homeless and poverty level." Joe replied.

"Ok, What about you ladies?" I said as I turn to the ladies. Miranda nods her head. Wanda does the same. Luna, and the rest said yes.

"Alright, I'm going to have 25 BAA solders follow us so we have some protection."

"Barn, when do we have to be at that spot?" asked Joe.

"Anytime."

"Ok, how about we head there now?"

"Sure. Let's roll."

15 minutes later...

"I see the beggar at the same spot he was yesterday. I walk up to him and he sees me. He stands up and walks over to me.

"Sir, thank you for yesterday. My family had a feast for the first time in 6 months."

"No problem. What's your name?"

"Alvin."

"Can you take me and my group to where you and your family live? That way we can all talk and get to know you and your family."

"Sure." said Alvin. I wave my group to follow me and Alvin. We walk for a few minutes before I heard a sound of a door being kicked open. Alvin stopped and turned towards me. "That sounded like that was from my house!" he said.

"Let's double time it there then."

We pick up the pace and get to Alvin's house in 15 seconds. There was a group of 8 guys with swords standing in front of the house. I sense 4 more people in the house. One adult man, one adult woman, a teenage woman and a young boy. I signaled for the 25 soldiers to summon their M1s and to stand by. I also signaled to Joe to follow me. I use stealth and sneak inside the house thru the front door. Both me and Joe hear a smack and then a thud coming from upstairs. We both hear a little boy and a young woman call for their mom and begin to cry. My rage is starting to rise and I look at Joe. I see he's pissed too.

"Let's go and take this fucker by surprise." I told my brother in a quiet voice. We both crept upstairs and and find the room that the action is taking place. I see the noble I scared away from Alvin yesterday standing by a bed getting ready to pull down his pants. Oh hell no!

"Mother fucker, you better not be thinking about doing what I think you're about to do!"

"The noble stops and turns around to see me and my pissed off brother at the doorway. His face goes pale. I summon my Glock and aim at his head.

"Button your fucking pants up and reach for the sky."

He buttons up and raises his hands up. I walk over to the window and open it. I see 8 confused guards looking up at me.

"Men, surround them. You 8 morons throw down your swords and put your hands up. If you don't, my men will kill you on the spot."

The 8 guards throw down their swords and raise their hands above their heads. My men back out orders as I have trained them on what to do in these types of situations.

"Take them to the dungeon!" Joe said out loud.

The soldiers escorted the guards out of the area. Alvin was in shock. I bet he's wondering who I am and who were these other people that was with me. Before anything else, I got a rich, arrogant fucker to punish. I turn to the young boy and asked, "Got any rope?"

"The young boy goes out of the room only to come back a few moments later with some rope in his hand. I take the rope and thank the boy. I tie the noble's hands behind his back and lead him out of the house. Alvin sees the noble's face and I see his anger is rising. I tell Alvin to calm down and check on his family. I turn the noble around so I can look at him, eye to eye.

"Now, if I remember correctly, I said these words once. Do you know who I am?"

"I said those words and you said that you didn't nor did you care."

"That's right. So, do YOU know who I am?"

"No."

"Heh, I guess my name isn't that famous or you're a few nuggets short of a Happy Meal. Well, let me introduce myself and see if this jogs your memory. My name is Michael Barnes."

His eyes grew wide when he heard my name.

"You're,"

"That's right, you little fucking monkey. The Mad Dog King of the Barnes Kingdom. Ruler of the Western Continent. Brother of the new king of your kingdom."

His face went pale. His knees buckled. It was at this moment, he knew, he royally fucked up.

"I feel that there's been a history between you two. So tell me what the history is or I'll beat the living shit out of you right here and now."

"Ok, ok. I'll tell you. He was a blacksmith. One of the best in this kingdom but because his daughter refused to marry me, I had my guards ruin his business to the point of him being put out of business. I came here to ruin his wife and kill his son as well as kidnapping his daughter."

"Wow, you're really something else. JOE! COME OUT HERE!"

My brother walks out of the house and I tell him what I just heard. I feel my brother's killing intent.

"YOU DIRTY, DISRESPECTFUL, PETTY FUCKING DOUCHE BAG! TELL ME WHY I SHOULDN'T KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!" my brother yelled.

"You majesty, I'm sorry. I won't ever do it again." sobbed the noble.

"Damn straight. Because I'm going to fucking kill you, you sniveling piece of shit." I said with my killing intent flowing out.

"I want to know before I take your life, how many families have you ruined?"

"4." said the crying noble.

"Four too many. Joe, you should have this disgusting shithead lead you to his land so you can search it, free the 4 ladies that was kidnapped, search for slaves because I feel he doesn't want to free his slaves. Search his mansion for anything and strip it from all valuables. But don't kill him. That will be my job and I'll do that tomorrow. He has a whole day to reflect on his poor decisions and to make his peace with god."

"That's alright by me, Barn. GET UP AND START MOVING MOTHER FUCKER!"

The girls walked up towards me and hug me.

"Ladies, I'm fine. We should check on Alvin and his family."

We walk back in house. Now that I think about it, I have an idea but I got to see the quality of his work. I see Alvin soothing his wife and kids. I walk over to Alvin.

"Alvin, are they fine?" I asked him.

"They're shakened but they're fine. What happened to that bastard that put his hands on my family?" he asked.

"He's going to lead my brother to his place and then he'll be put in the dungeon for an overnight stay before I pass judgement on him." I told him.

"Alvin, who are these people?" his wife asked.

"Allow me to introduce myself ma'am. My name is Michael Barnes, the Mad Dog King of the Barnes Kingdom. And these ladies behind me are Sara, Kate, Priscilla, Lucy, Miranda, Wendy, and Luna. The young man that was with me earlier is my brother Joe Petak, your new king of this kingdom."

Alvin was in shock, His wife fainted. His daughter's knees buckled, The young boy eye got excited.

"You're King Barnes! I thought I recognized you from the painting that was put in school. I'm your biggest fan!" said the young boy.

I got that shit eating grin on my face as I help Alvin's wife to their sofa. A few minutes later, Alvin's wife is awake and alert. Everyone is sitting.

"Now that you're awake, can I ask for yall's names?" I asked.

"My name is Alvin Jr." said the young boy.

"My name is Sally, your Majesty." the teenage lady said as she did a slight bow.

"My name is Elizabeth." Alvin's wife said.

"Alvin, I heard that you was a blacksmith before that bastard put you out of business. Do you have anything left of your past work that I can see?"

"I do. Let me head down to my basement real quick." Alvin said as he got up out of his seat. He heads into the kitchen and down the stairs. As I wait for Alvin to return, Elizabeth speaks up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty for saving me and my family."

"It's no problem and please call me Michael."

"Ok Michael. Once again, thank you." Elizabeth said. I look over towards Sally as I noticed her looking my way.

"Sally, how old are you?"

"I'm 16."

"You have any thoughts about your future?"

"I was going to help run my family business but that ugly noble ruined it."

"I see."

I see Alvin come back in with a sword that I have seen before from my previous life. A claymore. He hands it to me to inspect it. It's the best quality I've seen in this world.

"Alvin, I got a proposal for you. How would you like to live in my castle? I need a blacksmith for some of the projects I'm working on. I'll give you a salary and you would never have to worry about any noble putting you out of business ever again. What do you say?"

"I accept your proposal!" Alvin excitedly said. We shake hands.

"It's going to great working with you. You should pack up your things, all of you."

Alvin and his family go into action. I get up and head out the door with my ladies in tow. I see my brother walking up.

"So, how was it?" I asked him.

"Barn, he is very deserving of death. He had 6 girls in a dungeon. He tried to hide 30 slaves. He even had one of the widows of the 4 previous families that he ruined chained to his bed. He had no children and his wealth is a lot. You better kill him tomorrow." Joe said with a serious look.

"I think you should go door to door to every noble's house in this kingdom, brother. Starting with this city. At least we stopped a fucking monster. And I gained a personal blacksmith."

"You hired Alvin?"

"Hell yeah. His work is the best I've seen in this world and I've seen dwarven weapons and armor."

"Damn!"

Just then, I see a BAA soldier running towards me.

"Sir, I have a report."

"Ok, let me see it."

The soldier hands me a piece of paper. As I read the report, I see something that catches my eye.

"What is it, Barn?"

"I got to investigate a forest 75 miles east of here. There's sightings of undead beings there. You stay here and help Alvin's family to the teleportation gate."

I walk to Priscilla. I give her a kiss.

"Priscilla, can you help Alvin and his family to the teleportation gate and help them settle down in my castle?"

"Yes love."

I turn to the rest of the ladies, giving each one a kiss except for Wanda and Miranda.

"Help Joe and Priscilla. I got to investigate a forest east of here."

"Ok Michael, be careful." said Sara.

"Michael, I know what forest you're going to. Just be very careful. The undead there are stronger than what you think." Miranda said.

"I know but they have 2 weaknesses. One being fire and the other is something that didn't exist in this world until I arrived." I said with a grin.

"What's the second weakness?" asked Miranda with a puzzling look.

"Bullets!" I said as I summon my Sledgehammer.
