Chapter 117

A few minutes later.

Varko arrived. Kicked Baka on her butt and told the huge girl to get back to her post..

Baka didn't even complain. She just sleepily rubbed her eyes, put the helmet back on and went outside.

How…

And now he was alone in the room with Varko. Who had grinned like a loon just a few minutes ago in the Communication Mirror.

Yeah. The unsettling feeling was still there.

"So…" he spoke nonchalantly "Any reason why you were smiling so much in the mirror?"

The grin came back full force and held back the urge to Patrificus Totalus the man.

Varko much have picked up on his discomfort because he coughed in embarrassment and then smiled weakly at him.

"Well… I stole Karsi last night. She beat me bloody for it but she accepted me in the end." And just like that, the foolish grin came right back though his cheeks were tinged pink this time. "It was… great." The man said more to himself than him.

He blinked at the news for a moment.

Then a similar grin entered his face.

"Good! I knew you could do it. Congrats man. I'm so proud of you."

He got up from his chair and went around the table to clap Varko on his shoulders.

"I suppose you deserve a reward for this." He said and thought about what kind of reward he could give his two newly married subordinates.

"How would you like to go to Summer Island with Karsi and spend a week there. Just enjoying your times with her?"

Varko smiled at his question but then shook his head.

"As much as I would like that my lord, I'm afraid I cannot take the offer." Varko said "Both Karsi and I have our own duties. Without me there to protect you, I would always feel uneasy. And Karsi is a general and had to take care of her own troops as well. She can't just leave them whenever she wants."

Hmm… he had expected that something like this would happen. But it was still annoying.

"What do you want then?" he asked "Tell me. If it is something within my power then I'll give it to you."

Varko thought about his words for a few moment before he carefully spoke "Karsi has two daughters. Johnna and Willa. Both of them are excellent archers. Well… not anywhere near as good as Ygritte. But still pretty good. If you could make a magical bow for them as well…" Varko trailed off, probably wondering if he had asked for a bit more than was proper.

He just smiled in return. "Not only a magical bow. But a magical quiver as well." He said with a smile.

The whole thing should take him some four hours to make but he was willing to put this much effort for the best swordsman under his service and his 2nd General.
