Army of the Damned

VOLUME 10 Chapter 5

Returning back to the Hotel, the General is greeted with Elizabeth playing the Grand Piano as Ludwing stood next to her, totally astonished by her playing and in the kitchen, Alana has traded her gown with a casual modern outfit consisting of a mini pink shirt and tight denim pants while using an Apron with a text "Musically Good, Can't Cook For Shit" as she swirls to get a Pan with some peppers in hand.

"Oh, M'Lord. Welcome back. Bahamut, no Heels please."

"My Lord! You've returned!"

"Hey hey hey ladies. Busy day today and let me tell you, the Governor is something. That's for sure."

"I see M'Lord, but is he a good man?"

"I don't know yet but he did show some courage. Unlike most politicians, I can give him that. But I don't trust him just yet."

"Governor Cavall is a bit of a character, General. I've met him many times in concerts and places where I've played. He is certainly someone who can handle the situation we are currently in. The man has been a part of the guild for longer than I have. I think he was already here before the city was even built."

"It might not be out yet but someone attacked the Administrative Building, a single lone Operator... I think. There might be insiders for all I know but that's for later. For now, I want to take a bath."

"Attacked? This deep within your territory, My Lord?"

"Yup. I already told the Mayor to have my office moved to the Police Station. That's way safer.

"My Lord, Zavalda might be far more problematic than the paper and numbers you've been given. May I suggest imprisoning all of the Government Officials immediately?"

"Calm down Elizabeth. We can't do that unless we have a proper excuse that people will buy. It doesn't even have to be believable but at the same time, I do not think it's safe to shake the tree of Zavalda at such a chaotic moment in the city unless we truly have to."

"M'Lord, What would be the strategy? We've only been here for a day and already, so many problems have arisen."

"I don't know yet. But one thing is for sure. We cannot do anything drastic, if they have that much eyes, any attempts I'd do would be quickly foiled. If I make one move, everyone and their mother will know about it. I might send everyone out to do errands and investigations with what we've known so far."

"Hm! I do like that! My Lord, I shall await that order."

"Masterrrrr..."

"Alright alright. I'll take a bath first. Bahamut, stay."

He removes his jacket which Elizabeth takes and folds as he takes out his shoes and lazily walks to the bath with Bahamut in tow. Feeling the light steps of the woman behind him, the General turns around and confusingly looks at the Dragon. "Uhm... I wanna join you Master." he just sighs and lets her come with him to the bathroom.

"Is that normal between those two?"

"I do not think those two had ever not taken a bath together till Bahamut became a human. Now back to our lesson."

The General dips in the hot bath, his muscles instantly relaxing and he lets out a long hard sigh. Bahamut's slender and curvy body then slides in between his legs and pushes her back up to his chest. Resting her willowly body on him. Seeing the situation, the man just nods in approval and spreads his arms to the sides of the tub while Bahamut rests her arms on his thighs underwater.

"Master, I can feel something poking me."

"Sorry, just the body doing its thing. Though if you don't mind it, you can relax."
