I'll Come Back, Always

Chapter 23

Lorenzo's POV

I'm not in a good mood for the past few days, and I am sure everyone could tell. They are literally trembling around me.

I know I am intimidating sometimes but does it have to be this bad? Even Andrew stopped making jokes these days, even though it's annoying sometimes I still have to say that I have already gotten used to it.

The situation with the war isn't any better, I never thought that Charona is this strong in military power. And on top of that, my wife is pregnant and alone at home, which just makes everything worst.

           "Andrew, is there anything to report from the last battle?" I sat down on my chair as I just came back from patrol around the camp. Yeah, generals patrol too. Just not as much as regular soldiers do though.

           "We'll, of course there is. If there isn't then you should be worried." He scoffed. I guess he has some courage lately, maybe we should put this courage he has into some training. That's what he gets for scoffing at me. "So we have 10 men that have passed due to this battle, but considering how big of a fight that was, we are fortunate that we only lost ten men. 327 wounded and the remaining may have some minor injuries and a little mentally unstable for a bit, I mean who wouldn't be."

           "And how about the other side?"

          "What? Charona? I mean, they had a bigger loss than we did, so I guess we kind of won this fight." He said as I just nodded. Well, even though I don't want people to die, there is no way we can prevent that when a war is happening, especially if you are in the military and fighting. That will always happen to someone. You just won't know who is going to die.

           "That's, good to hear." I responded. "Any news on Roseanne?"

          "Not really, it's kind of hard to get that kind of information in. Plus, can't you just call your father, he should know the situation better than us. I mean, he is there at home, right?" I nodded again. I probably should do that.

          How many months has it been since my father broke the news to me? Six? Seven? She should be giving birth around this time, and I am still over here. It's so frustrating! Knowing that I am needed badly at home but I can't do anything about it.

         Roseanne's pushing me away and keeping me here, father said that she threatened us with her life and possibly our child's if I go back. And even though I know she's just trying to scare me and threaten me, it's not really working if you are curious, I can't risk anything.

         Roseanne is a brave, fearless and gorgeous young lady that is true to her words, I admire and respect her for that as a person in general, not just for being my wife. But sometimes, she could be using those traits on you and that just wouldn't be fun. Not like it ever was or will be.

         And when she threatens you with something, even though it has a major possibility of being just a threat, you still wouldn't want to risk anything, because she could find another way to scare you just as much. And when it has something to do with lives of people, more so herself and my child that she is still possibly carrying right now, I can't do anything but what she says.

         And people say that men are supposed to be in charge of a household, she's in charge of me right now.

         "I shall call father today." I told him. He just nodded and walked out. Huh, how polite.

         Damn it, I miss Roseanne so much right now. When can this war just end, why do they want this country so much that they are willing to sacrifice so much instead of just giving up and surrendering. I know that we live on a piece of land that is extremely valuable, rich in natural resources. Not a big country, but certainly very wealthy and powerful.
