Glory for the Thorn empire (twisted wonderland fanfic))

The General

I walked with Grim to our classes. Today I had been distracted. I would have to take deep breaths and remind me self it was ok if he didn't believe me. But I think that just made my chest hurt more. What if He though I was an Enemy? What would he do If he did believe me? How would we even handle the situation. All these things caused a large head ache. I had asked Silver to give Lilia a letter asking him to meet me at Ramshackle at the end of the day if he could. I just hopped he would. He seemed calmer after all these years. Then again he was close to 2,000 now so it would make sense that he had changed after so long. 

By the end of the day I was emotionally Tired. I had asked Deuce and watch Grim for me as I had an Important meeting to take care of. I'm sure Deuce though I meant with the headmage however I did not correct him. His assumption would leave less questions for me to answer. I had prepared somethings I remembered the General was partial to. He had been band from the Bases Kitchen while we are fighting together. I remember he tried to help out once only to leave a brown gooey mess. Chuckling at the memory I heated some Tomato Juice and Made some Lavender cookies for us to snack on. 

I had made these as they were a reminder of home. Lavender Grew well in our small Empire. Though I knew it was no longer an Empire anymore. It was called The Thorn Valley now. But I remember the days when it truly was an Empire. The queen would smile at her Citizens. The first day I was taken there in Lilia's arms I remember thinking how much it felt like home. How peaceful it truly was. I had just set the food down when a knock sounded at the door. Whipping my hands on a cloth I opened it to see Lilia giving me his soft smile. I felt a loud thump in my chest at seeing it again. I had thought the last thing I would see was his crying face that day.  I mentally shook my head and invited him in.

"Come on in Lilia, I made us some food in the kitchen if you like while we talk" Lilia walked in with a small float to his step. He never did like walking around. Always used to say Floating was easier and less energy using.

"Thank you Yuu, I think I will. What is it you wished to discuss?" I took a breath and walked with him to the kitchen he stopped momentarily as he saw the table. 

"Please sit... I'm not exactly sure how to bring this up" This was true. I had no idea how to bring up in conversation that. "Hey General Lilia, I'm your long Dead friend Major Argenti and I was reincarnated into a human body! Oh and I remember all the shit we used to do. Still friends?" That would not go well. Lilia slowly sat and I pushed the warm Tomato juice towards him.

"I remember you used to love when this was brought to your office at night" I muttered. Lilia paused and looked at the mug.

"This is... Young one how do you know such a thing? you must have done some research on me" I felt my lips thin.

"G... Lilia do you believe in reincarnation?" He blinked and took a drink of his juice before giving me a hm sound.

"I suppose it is quite possible. There are many Necromancers in the world who could potentially bring back the dead. Though from experience they must have the soul to do so. If there is a Soul then perhaps that soul could find a new body in an unborn child." I took a breath and nodded.

"I ask you keep this in mind when I say this. I did not do research on you. Because I was the one who used to bring you this Treat to your office" Lilia put his cup down.

"Yuu, I ask you not to joke about such things" I looked into his eyes and wished I hadn't. His eyes were serious. Deadly. And I would not back down. I looked straight back.

"Believe me, General I would not joke about such things. Not this... Not when it was something this important" I could see His shoulders strain to relax. He wanted to appear indifferent but he could not hide from me. I had known him to long for that.
