“So with their retreat called, it is time to show what type of leader you are,” Markus said after a loud horn blast sounded and the front ranks of Telagus’s army all stepped back a few steps, dropping their weapons and raising both hands in defeat, “Will you allow them the decency of defeat, take prisoners to learn something or cut them down in anger?”“Certainly not the last one, I’m not a monster,” Rex said with a scowl, not believing Markus would even think that an option, “I’m all ears for if any of you have any good paths to take. I don’t know anything about prisoners of war and information gathering.”“If I may,” Markus said, “We could take a few, learn what we can, and set them free. It's not like they would be letting any new information out.”“Breaking someone’s will enough to let us learn what we want would make the person dangerous,” Ley said with a scowl, “If we do that, it is a mercy to end their suffering.”“Last time someone tried to defect from Telagus’s side, they die

“Ok, so the beetle lays eggs, we will have to deal with a lot more of these things kicking around when they hatch and grow up?” Rex asked, watching Rowina slice carefully and slowly into the abdomen, muttering things to herself he barely understood.“Shit!” she exclaimed suddenly as she carefully opened a small pouch on the inside of the beetle, alarming everyone, Rex included, “Of course it has.”“What’s the issue?” Rex asked, leaning forward to see what she was cursing at, “Wow, stinks worse than I remember.”“There are five eggs inside of the beast, three are damaged and embryo dead, and two remain and seem to be intact, give me a vial Leonis, now you have contaminated it with your bare hands get me another clean one you imbecile. Thank you, I have asked you here because I have a proposition to offer you young prince,” Rowina said, scowling as Leonis passed her a new clean vial from a leather pouch on his belt using a small set of tongs.“I’m all ears.”“I will take this healthy eg

“AAHH!” Rex exclaimed as he awoke once more with a start, “I am getting really tired of blacking out, can someone PLEASE tell me what the f**k happened?” “Well, you kind of blacked out after an assassin attack,” Lacey said with a shrug, “Master Percus isn’t sure why, he checked all of your meridians, he said they all checked out to be fine.” “I have no idea what happened my prince,” Master Percus sighed, his disdain seeping through his words, “Some sort of demon kin you have as a partner to you prevented the dagger penetrating any deeper than an inch, even then should have not rendered you unconscious.” “Any idea what the dagger was, or the history of the thing?” Rex asked standing and stretching his limbs, he felt no pain, and did not have any visions or visits from beings as he usually did with his blackouts, so even he was at a loss. “I have asked Rowina, she has said nothing strikes her as abnormal,” Lizz said, shrugging her shoulders. “So I mysteriously just passed out for no

“How do you feel this morning my prince?”“Kealy, haven’t seen you in a while,” Rex said with a smile, seeing the neat pile of clothing set next to his bed. After a few sighs and groans as he stretched, he disrobed, picked up his new clothes and dressed again, stopping at a little coughing sound.“You should have said something so I could turn away. I confess I may have peeked a look while you changed,” Kealy said the edges of her mouth curled into a smile she was trying to hide.“I think we are past the point of embarrassment by now,” Rex shrugged, he wasn’t sure why she was saying something now, Kealy had watched him, even helping him bathe and dress sometimes.“Your harem left in the early hours, none said where they were going for me to pass it onto you, I presume you wanted breakfast? The kitchen has only just started up so it might be a little while before food is served,” Kealy said, grabbing his old clothes and throwing them into a basket, Rex could tell something was off with

Rex and his company at the table ate in silence, the occasional request coming through their bond for condiments such as salt, pepper, or Marcia’s constant requests for a purple spice that he didn’t know except it burnt his mouth and throat every time he tried it. “My lord, I am sorry to intervene, but the lords have reconvened in the war room for the finalisation of the after-battle reports and paperwork,” a short thin man in a full white robe and a gold chain around his neck said, leaning in close to Rex with a bow and speaking quietly into his ear. “Tell them I will be along shortly,” Rex replied, with a friendly half smile and a nod, gesturing to the remainder of his food still left to go. “Of course my lord, I will pass the message along,” the man said, bowing his head once more, apologising for interrupting his breakfast again before leaving. “The vipers are already waiting to hear you split up their shares, I always felt bad for the emperor when this had to be done, the nobl

Rex and Markus both flowed into the open area, weapons drawn, working together to scan the room for threats, “Got a body,” Rex called, “No threats.”Markus called the same, not seeing any threats, both men sheathing their weapons at the same time,” Be calm, tell me what happened,” he said to a hysterical woman sobbing near the corpse of another woman.“It’s Jessie, I just saw her this morning, she was fine, and now…and now she’s dead,” the woman sobbed, placing her hands over her face.“Markus, come look at this,” Rex called out, kneeling over the dead woman called Jessie.“What is it?” he asked, joining him, a clatter of armoured feet rattling in the distance.“Claw marks and a bite to the side of the throat,” Rex said, pointing to the tell-tale marks on the woman’s body.“That wasn’t, you know,” Markus said, pointing with his eyes at Rex’s sword, motioning to Sküülen.“I am not allowed to assault anyone that is not directly harming my sweetness without his command, so no, not my doi

Laying in the middle of three beautiful women, Rex still had to punch himself sometimes to ensure he was not dreaming, ‘How lucky am I?’‘All hail lord harem prince,’ Fafnir growled, his voice full of sarcasm, ‘This has to be the first time I have heard of an amonthrul having a romantic attachment.’‘This is also the first time you’ve heard of four being part of the bond too,’ Rex said with a smile, ‘This is just an added bonus.’‘Bonus,’ Fafnir scoffed, ‘Not only is one romantic attachment problematic, but now you must deal with keeping three of them happy.’‘Seems to be working.’‘You will live a very long time, if your adventures do not find you perishing beforehand, you will face many hard and difficult judgements that will make some people love you, and many to hate you, your women entanglements all have differing ideals, so pleasing all three of them with your decisions will not be possible every time.’‘Why do you have to be such a downer?’ Rex said with a scowl.‘I am a realis

As Rex and Rowina arrived at the site of the attack, there were soldiers already at the scene ushering people away, a bloody white linen sheet covering a body, “Can we move it somewhere not so public?” Rex asked, seeing the number of onlookers.“I hope for the opposite,” Rowina replied, answering quickly seeing Rex’s dark expression, “To see if there are any magical interactions with the deceased. I can sense those kinds of things for short periods of time after the event.”“They said it was a beast attack, not a magical attack,” Rex replied, bowing his head to the soldiers who parted and bowed upon his arrival, something irked him instantly.“What is it?” Rowina asked, seeing Rex’s expression change quickly once more.“Nothing,” Rex replied, “Who found the body?” he asked turning to the soldier leading the group.“Miss Kealy my lord.”“Really?” he replied, turning to look in her direction, Kealy’s face dropping after meeting his gaze.“You know something I do not,” Rowina said, looki
