The Moon Loved Her

Chapter Eleven

Today is the first battle. I am the one of the two generals who will fight. The third general is of old age and can't fight. They say that the second general is young.

For some unexpected reason my mind went to Killion Hills. He would make an excellent general. Like being the general would be his ideal job.

I mean who wouldn't want to see that man holding a sword and wearing an armour? Anyone who would see this would be blessed!

What am I even thinking?

Kira! Snap out of it!

I shook my head to sober up.

I walked out of the tent and went to meet the other generals and prepare for battle.

I arrived at the meeting tent wearing my armour and having my sword around my waist. I also wore the pendulum as a good luck charm.

When I entered the tent, I saw the second general. The old man who was unable to fight. He seemed like a great strategist though.

As a third general, I greeted my elder and sat in a wooden chair. The elder man with his sharp eyes noticed the pendulum.

"Don't ever take it off child"

"Pardon?"

"The pendulum..."

"I see... Thank you!"

*Tak*

Someone came into the tent. He was heavily armoured. A black metal armour at that. The heaviest kind. On his hands was a big sword made from the same metal.

I wish I could see his face~

He wore a helmet that hid his face. He looked just like a robot. The heavy armour could still betray his well sculpted body.

"Generals! Let's go!"

His confident voice was reassuring me that this battle would go well. A low pitched and loud voice that sounded manly.

What a shame~

He must be handsome!

We arrived at the battlefield. First General and I were in the front lines. Behind us were thousands of men.

I felt that the general was staring at me. I met his gaze but couldn't see his eyes. The helmet casted a shadow above his eyes, throwing a dark veil that hid any shape or colour.

"Is everything okay First general?"

"Y-Yes!"

He nodded nervously. He must be anxious about the battle. I wanted to calm him down.

"General..."

"?!"

" You don't have to be nervous~ If you are in danger, I will protect you~"

"!!!"

The general flinched surprised. At least I helped him calm down a bit.

The enemy reached and all the soldiers got into position. The enemy's king stepped closer and spoke in a hoarse from the cigars voice.

" People from the empire I give you a chance to leave unscathed. Just give up"

I stepped ahead and answered to this foolish arrogant man.

" If you like your head, don't spout nonsense and surrender. I will make sure to end you quickly"
