Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 319: Murderous Vanye

After a bit more talking with the Volkun, we eventually decided to end it as we both retired for the night; I wasn't tired, but he was mentally exhausted, probably from all the stuff that's been going on around his daughter. When I returned to my room, I saw Lazuli lying in bed, resting, prompting me to silently close the door as I continued down the hallway, passing Vanye, Vanimo, and Talis's room, though, unlike Lazuli, the latter two were making love, and the former was maintaining her sword.

Coming to a halt, I knocked on Vanye's door.

"Come in." Said Vanye lightly as she raised her head and glanced at the door, which opened, only for Alexander's head to peek through.

"Yo, what's up, Vanye? What are you still doing awake? It's a few hours past midnight." Asked Alexander curiously with a faint smile as he entered the room while closing the door behind him, causing Vanye to subtly furrow her brow.

"Couldn't sleep." Replied Vanye lightly as she glanced at Alexander before shifting her gaze to her sword while continuing to polish it.

"Was it because Vanimo and Talis were going to town in the room beside you?" "I had no clue; these rooms seem soundproof." Remarked Alexander and Vanye, respectively, as the former curiously raised an eyebrow while the latter slightly widened her eyes before shaking her head.

I nodded in agreement, since despite knowing how loud Talis tended to be, I couldn't hear even a peep from her, nor Vanimo, though that caused me to faintly smirk as I looked at Vanye, who was polishing her sword.

Sitting beside her on the edge of the bed, she gave me a look while I gestured to her sword, prompting her to continue doing what she was doing as I silently watched her.

"Do you not maintain your swords, Alex?" "Eh, no, do I need to?" Asked Vanye and Alexander, respectively, as the former curiously glanced at the latter, who tilted his head in confusion.

"No. But your swords are your lifelines in battle; show them love and care, and they shall do the same for you." Stated Vanye firmly with a shake of her head as she gently caressed her blade while Alexander faintly nodded.

"Makes sense." Muttered Alexander lightly as he glanced at Vanye before outstretching his hands and summoning Trina and Zartha from his body.

Glancing between my two swords, I brought them closer and gave them each a kiss.

"I don't say it often, but I really love and appreciate you two, even though you love to mock me." Said Alexander softly as he glanced at Trina and Zartha while infusing his emotions into them, causing their purple markings to glow brightly, illuminating the entire room and taking Vanye by surprise.

'Muu, d-don't say things like that, Master! I-It's embarrassing! T-Though I-I love you too!' Said Trina with a deep blush as she hid her face in her arms while shaking from embarrassment.

'Hmph, you're a good Master.' Said Zartha coldly with an equally deep blush as she averted her gaze while Alexander smiled.

Once the bright glowing receded, I gave them each another kiss and absorbed them back into my body before giving Vanye, who stared at me dumbfounded, a thumbs up.

"I told you before; my swords are alive." Said Alexander with a faint smirk as he looked at Vanye, who slowly nodded before shaking her head.

"Y-Yeah, you did say that." Muttered Vanye softly as she wiped her sword clean before slowly sheathing it while tossing her rag onto the table.

Chuckling, I watched Vanye store her sword beside her bed before returning to sit beside me, prompting me to make my move as I wrapped an arm around her lithe waist before pushing her onto her back while I mounted her.
