Southern Borders

"ohh my love, to hide your beauty with a mask is a sin to men" the soft voice echoed through the room.

"it is by order of the queen that all generals and vice generals to cover their face while not in her presence"

"but to keep a rose from the light it will surely wither away"

"enough of this!, you were here two weeks ago, why the sudden r..." graygrash interrupted the conversation but was meet with cold lifeless eyes looking into his soul, even though she wore a black veil on her face, above her nose her cold eyes were seen, her eyes were that of a white ocean no iris was present within them, in the middle of her forehead was that of a red dot, her hair was covered with that of a black scarf, she wore a long black dress that covered even her feet and flower patterns can be seen all over it, she looked as though she was going to attend a funeral.

"hmm since when do vice leaders have this much courage, Arthur I think you forgot how to teach your dog"

gulp, graygrash swallowed his saliva as he walked closer to Arthur's side.

"hmm guess the dog knows when to crawl to his owner" she said mockingly

"enough violet!" the calm voice of Arthur echoed in the room as he directed his gaze at her.

"why the sudden return?" he asked

this question made Violet angry she squeezed her hands into that of a fist.

"do a wife need a reason to see her husband?"

"we both know we were just fulfilling the highness request for another of her experiments" he said coldly

"experiment or not a contract is a contract, anyways am here about the problem with rosevolt"

"what about it, it's just another weak country on our borders" graygrash interrupted again but before violet can turn to give him a gaze, he had already hid behind Arthur.

"I have already take into account that the destruction of rosevolt paved a part for the elves to attack our territory, but what those this have to do with you?" arthur replied coldly.

"my love, just like us the elf race stand together and serve under one king, you think that your southern army alone have the strength to defeat the elf's alone"

as she said was the truth the elven and beastmen race are the only race that serve under one kingdom and one ruler.

hearing these words Arthur began to walk to violet with his hands behind his back, graygrash stayed where he was afraid to come close to the devilish woman, as arthur walked closer so did she until the both of them were face to face.

"no, but we have the strength to defend against their assault, have you forgotten that other than the queen and the great general I am the third strongest in the entire kingdom"

"hmm, bragging really damage your beauty my love" she rub her finger onto his chest as she draws closer to him.

"enough!!" the voice of Arthur echoed through the room.

"i will ask again, why have you come?"

"you dont have to be so feisty, the queen have ordered that the Eastern and Southern are responsible for the protection of the kingdom from the elves" she said as she hand over a envelope with a red stamp of a lion sealing it.

gulp,"so this means this witch have a reason to come often now, ohh lord what have I done for this punishment" graygrash thought inwardly as sweat ran down his face.
