Chances to Another Life 45. I Talked With the Prime Minister
"Guests are not allowed to loiter in this area!"As soon as I stepped out of the tent, a soldier confronted me. His square, scarred face added to the horror, and I just bowed politely. "I have an appointment with Mr. Prime Minister," I said. "Mr. Prime Minister has returned to his duties. Visiting hours for guests are over. Please come back in." The soldier shooed me away as he was about to close the tent and pushed me. I was quickly outside the tent area. If I didn't talk to Elliot now, when would I? This was the right time for me to talk about my relationship with Adellia. "Please tell Mr. Prime Minister that Joe has something very important to talk about," I insisted. The soldier gave me an annoyed look. "What is it?" he asked. "Just tell him. It's very important, please!" I even had to clasp my hands in front of my chest. The soldier clucked and went into one of the largest tents. Not long after, he came out. "Come in."My first impression of this tent was that it smelled v
Chances to Another Life 46. Back to the Base
"Why didn't you wake me up? I intended to sleep for only an hour, no more!" Delilah exclaimed as soon as we left the Prime Minister's quarters. I saw that it was still six in the morning, usually the sun was already brightly lit when I was still in the barracks. However, here, even the atmosphere was still as tense and dark as the night. I rubbed my eyes quickly as I fought off sleepiness. After spilling my guts to Elliot, I quickly returned to the tent and fell asleep on the sofa soundly, before Delilah frantically shook my body to wake me up. We didn't have time to greet Elliot, as it turned out that the Prime Minister was busy and couldn't be disturbed. So, we immediately decided to return to the military headquarters after being glared at by five of Elliot's aides. "I overslept too, you were very sleepy," I added, not wanting to take the blame. "We're not going to tell the Prime Minister about the kidnapping plan, are we going to tell Cedric?" said Delilah. "Bad idea. He'll
Chances to Another Life 47. I Was Burned By Supernatural Fire
I wondered what use it was for the military to teach us how to distinguish and save ourselves from mines and bombs, since what we were facing was more dangerous than that. It would have been useful if I'd been stationed to fight ordinary humans, but I was fighting people with magical powers! Seriously! Not yet fully landed on the ground, dozens of soldiers had already been injured by the explosion, including me and Willem along with the hysterically neighing pegasus. "Formation!" Rasen shouted, then some of the soldiers gathered and cast a spell that formed a magical shield around us. It was just in time for another explosion to strike in rapid succession. Red rays blazed until I had to close my eyes, after which the clouds darkened more than ever. It's different from being overcast when it's about to rain, I don't understand but it's terrifying. I haven't seen the enemy anywhere, but they can corner hundreds of us in a single attack. "Will, put your feet up," Frans said as he c
Chances to Another Life 48. In The End I Collapsed Too
I realized I was asleep, but I didn't want to wake up because my eyelids felt so heavy. The soft pillow and mattress and the warm blanket were more than enough for me now. I wanted to sleep a little longer. I can't remember what I've been doing lately, I don't think I've been that active, but my body feels so tired. It would be wonderful if I could sleep well and wake up when I want. But I couldn't because I could hear the loud voices of people talking. I desperately wanted to get up, silence them, and go back to sleep, but I was too weak to move. A voice came closer and I felt a shard of light break through my still closed self. I began to smell drugs, which I never liked. Then I felt someone sitting on my bed. "In the end, he too will fall." It was a woman's voice, was she talking about me? "He's human after all," a male voice answered. "It's a good thing he was saved, look at all that burnt skin. If he was a normal person, he would have died. Ah, but I guess Joe keeps a lot
Chances to Another Life 49. I Said Goodbye!
I packed the things that didn't really need to be packed, except for a set of casual clothes and the fire dragon scales I had hidden in my bag. I strapped the sword to my back and made sure nothing was left behind. "Are you really on duty at the palace?" asked Willem, who and Frans had been watching me from the tent door. "Yes, an order from the military commander and the prime minister," I replied briefly. "When do you leave?" said Frans. Then he handed me a bottle the size of my index finger filled with black water. "This is a potion from Officer Regal, he gave it to us the other day to speed up recovery. I have plenty left," he continued. I took the bottle and put it in my bag. "In a moment, thank you, yeah. I'm sorry I couldn't be with you guys until the end," I said. For some reason, I suddenly felt melancholy, my eyes burning with tears. Actually, this was exactly what I wanted. I never wanted to come to the conflict zone, let alone fight witches or clans that could breathe
Chances to Another Life 50. I'm In Trouble Again
The journey in the air was a bit bumpy as Peace hadn't fully recovered. Several times, the Pegasus whimpered in pain and we had to slow down our flight. While doing so, I looked down at the residential area.From up here, I could see that almost all of the settlements were leveled to the ground, with fires still burning in some places. I had to be clever in directing Peace to avoid the routes that Cedric had forbidden.I was given a brief briefing on avoiding certain areas suspected of being dangerous, where rebels were believed to be located. I myself started to feel anxious flying alone in the dark night. I was somewhat traumatized by someone kicking Peace like before or anyone from Swaltz Clan teleporting without me realizing it.Actually, I could guess Cedric and Elliot's true motive for moving me to the kingdom. They did it solely for Adellia because she is my friend; if they wanted to protect the king, they would have sent important figures like Rasen.On one hand, I felt burden
Chances to Another Life 51. Back To The Palace
"Your Grace, what are you doing here? Hurry back to the palace, the rebels are about to infiltrate!" the shouts of the other soldiers rang in my ears as they panicked at the sight of Adellia at the gate. This broke Sean's concentration until he unconsciously loosened his grip slightly. This must be one of the powers of the Swaltz clan, the ability to make living objects stand still at will. I could feel my heart beating faster and my thin breath getting warmer. If this was power, I wanted to try it again. I focused on the part of my neck where the man was still choking, as well as my arms and legs. As a result, a stream of heat pierced me from within, unlike the feeling of being burned. It was a soothing heat. Soon I was able to move my fingers and I elbowed Sean until the officer backed away. Then he rubbed his face roughly. "You ... how could you?" he muttered. I looked down at my hands. How stupid of me to realize this now! If I had realized it earlier, I definitely wouldn't h
Chances to Another Life 52. I Am With The Princess!
"Protect the Princess!" Jaden's senior officer shouted loudly. Dozens of frontliners had already arrived near the barrier and were preparing to attack. They formed a formation, and instantly the giants and beasts were sent flying by the bluish light emitted by the barrier. "Forward!" The soldiers pushed through the barrier and fought, I held my sword that I had brought from the cottage, preparing to eradicate the group of enemies. However, I was suddenly pulled from behind so roughly that I almost fell down. The culprit was Sean, who looked at me with a sharp gaze. "You seem to have forgotten your duty to take care of the Princess," he said sternly. Ah, that's right. There was already a frontliner squad in charge of fighting the enemy, I was the Princess' guard and had to make sure she was alright. I was too used to bleeding during my time as a soldier, so I felt I had to be directly involved this time. "You're right, Sean. Let's protect Adellia," I said. I heard Sean chuckle in
