Bobby Contras's Point Of View
" And with the healing of the injured, we've boosted our numbers to 2400 strong. Of these 2400, 1500 will be split into 3 groups of 500 and be led by the people I've already mentioned. With that, do we have any questions?"
There he goes... Talking again, like he has some high horse that he's sitting on... Why did I even sign that stupid petition!? Had I known that I would be one of the unlucky ones to have to follow him... Not only that, but even with Tala and Denise, we still couldn't make any headway because George wants to show his belly to the human instead of just treating him the way he should be treated. But instead, he tries to play it cool, I know it must be eating him up inside though, he's the same as us, so the question is, why the hell is he trying to play at being that human's dog?
" As I've stated previously, we'll also be heading out into the valley tomorrow, as the reports show that our troops are following my commands to the letter, because of this, the Elves will be attempting to push them up against the wall of the valley, that's where we'll be able to trap them instead of the other way around. I suggest you all try to get some rest tonight; the end of this battle begins tomorrow. At the end of it all, we'll walk back to the Western Border with our heads held high, and more than enough Elves to find out exactly what Our King shall do next."
He looks around at the crowd to see that we get the message. This is another of his habits that I've found disgusting, he's just like all the other humans, thinking that we're mindless apes. Why would King Warrick make a disgusting human a Marquess? It makes no sense? What they've done to us, what they've taken... After healing Princess Sarah, he should've been beheaded to send a message to Promethia. But no... Instead, she's become a human lover, just looking at the way she and the other one stand behind him, like they're a part of his shadow... It makes me sick to my stomach. If not for the fact that we know he's only a Paladin, I'd assumed that it was some kind of Mental Magic that was used to brainwash the Royal Family.
" Alright, that's the end of this announcement. Please proceed to the lottery to decide which groups you'll be in. As for the Lieutenants as well as my personal subordinates, please follow me into my tent so we can discuss a few additional topics."
" That means us... Here we go again... What do you think he'll ask this time? For us to stick blades in our stomachs as a distraction for the enemies?"
" No, it'll probably be if there's any human lovers in the camp that he could trust."
Tala and Denise began to make guesses as to what it is we'll be talking about... I wonder if the human can get it through his skull that we want to do as we wish. We're well-trained Military men and women; we know how to wage war. Just because our current duties are centered around protecting the Western Border that doesn't mean we'll be running around like chickens without heads when it comes to fighting in a battle.
" Regardless, we'll be court marshalled by the time we head home if we don't go. Let's not make this any worse, he's already written us up in his reports, no doubt about it."
" Oh, you sound defeated, Bob."
" Not defeated, just making sure a human isn't the reason I become disgraced, Tala."
" Right..."
With that little quip, all 3 of us unhappily made our way to the tent. Once we were through the tent, we were greeted by stares from George, Princess Sarah, the other wife, and his favored subordinates... Why would they show such loyalty to a human? The soldiers from Paradise revel in being able to spill Promethian blood... What's changed about them? I know the human introduced some food, but I'd rather die before being poisoned by a human's cooking. Still even with us entering the tent, the only one not looking at us was the one who called for us... Instead, he was focused on a piece of paper that he was reading. My anger is beginning to boil again...
