Blessings and Curses [BL]

Following [Part 五]

What’s she doing? Ares thought as he slowly walked towards her. She swiftly walked into the general’s tent. What could she possibly be doing there? Ares runs back to the dining tent to inform Hyousuke of the matter. He was still drinking.

“Genera—”

“Ares! How nice of you to join us!” Hyousuke said smiling, in his drunken state.

“I—”

“Bring him a drink!” Hyousuke then proceeded to put his hand on Ares’ shoulder.

“I don’t—”

“Ares, I think I’m in love,” he said quite solemnly. He rested his head on Ares’ shoulder and closed his eyes.

“You need to go to bed.” Ares carried Hyousuke to his tent. Asuka was gone.

The next day, Ares eyed Asuka closely. She seemed normal, doing her duties like everyone else. What Ares noticed was that she kept staring at Hyousuke.

That evening, Ares followed Asuka. Just like last night, she was wary of her surroundings. About 1 kilometer from the camp, she met someone clad in black.

A spy! Ares thought. He thought something about her was suspicious. He waited for her to go back to the camp to attack the man clad in black.

After Ares had killed the other spy, he found a scroll. He went back to the camp for Asuka’s head and found her in Hyousuke’s room again.

“You damn spy!” As soon as Ares uttered these words, Asuka instinctively tried to run away. However, she wasn’t fast enough. Ares grabbed her by the collar. His voice became gruff and stern, “Who do you work for?”

She spat on his face and remained silent.

Overcome by rage, he impaled her with his sword. She coughed out blood on his face. Hyousuke entered the tent. His eyes widened in shock as Asuka’s corpse slid down Ares’ blade and onto the ground.
