Chapter 14
As he left, the queen vampire pouted.
“Although we weren’t gifted by mistress with the power of healing, I’m still frustrated that we didn’t get to help!”
“Tell me about it!”
The vampire king rubbed his neck after he successfully escaped the death clutch.
“Umm, sorry to interrupt, but I have to go back or the night guard will catch me sneaking in and I’ll get punished”
“You can summon us when you need us!”
The angel queen curtsied and followed by all the others, disappeared into the night.
I looked back at the chess I made and the chess pieces were gone.
I was a bit frustrated that my beautiful carvings have gone to waste.
Next morning when my maid Leto escorted me to the soldier’s barracks, I heard a lot of cheerful yelling.
I just noticed, but Leto is also extremely happy, her stern expression replaced by a small smile, hard to avoid.
“Leto, what happened?”
She stopped suddenly as if woken from a daze and was surprised to hear me talking.
Oh, I forgot that I started talking just yesterday!
She didn’t say anything though. Figured...
After I registered as a soldier, which is weird since I’m just 7, I was left alone among grown men.
Can’t tell that I’m not worried...
Ahem, let’s find out what this is all about.
“Hey mister!”
I approached my unsuspecting target. He turned around and looked down.
“What are you doing here kid?”
“Can you answer my question first?”
“Uh, sure?”
“Why is everybody cheering?”
“Ah, the viscount’s son was healed from his illness by an angel sent by god! Isn’t it wonderful? His lordship announced it this morning for the military since we knew from long ago that our young master wouldn’t be able to join us. But now, young master Lucas is joining our military as to train and climb the ranks because the viscount promotes fairness and equality.”
Angel sent by god...
Crap! I should have told him to be discreet!
But isn’t it great? That brother of mine got healed.
“Thanks!”
“Hey, lil’ missy! You didn’t tell me why you’re here!”
“I’m a soldier! Why else would I be here?”
I went quickly in a sheltered place far from anyone’s view.
“Angel dude, angel dude! Do you hear me?”
“Mistress, I’m here!”
“Where dammit?”
“Right beside you! I’m invisible at the moment, I wouldn’t want anybody seeing me! And my name is Frey by the way!”
“Good, but then why does everyone know of your existence?”
I say, you’re the master of discreet!
“Of course I would reveal that somebody ordered me to save him, plus I couldn’t turn invisible like now because I didn’t have light!”
“What exactly did you say?”
“Of course I said that my master who created me sent me to save him!”
I face palmed. At least he didn’t say my name.
“Fine! You did well. Thank you! Now go go go!”
I rushed back and was given a uniform and shown where I can sleep.
I slept with 19 other new recruits in a hall and I was searching for personal space like a thirsty man stranded in a desert, searching for an oasis.
