Chapter 211 (2/2)
“We could’ve used their help,” Sylvie said after the two adventurers had gone off “And they seeo with us”
Ito cohter that looked to be about er, if the picture on that pendant is recent I saw hi, I stated to Sylvie while redirectingon ReadReadNovelFullonlineco out a stifled laugh from behind before she spoke back toto think how cold my bond has been to these poor soldiers It seehts froot to be able to keep a few secrets, I joked as ainst the nape ofinjury on your right side in the past, which isyou focus all of your defenses to that side You’re leaving your left side too open because of that Next”
“Mind if I go next?” a familiar voice called out to my left
Sylvie and I both turned towards the source of the voice and I could feel a flood of elation leaking froray hair, a shade darker and still dripping ater, and bright turquoise eyes that seelow on their own, I saw my childhood friend wave in our direction
“Tessia!” Sylvie cried as she basically ran straight into the elven princess
I sht of the two of theed lance that she had grown due tothe fields
<hr>
The princess shi+fted gazes between me and the child currently wrapped around her waist It wasn’t until her eyes focused on the horns protruding out of the girls head that shefor today!” I called out to the crowd of soldiers and adventurers waiting in line eapons in their hands before I made my way toward my childhood friend
For a while, I stood silent and listened as Tess and Sylvie talked My bond had always had a deep fondness for Tess, even calling her ‘Mama’ at one point in her life I could tell Tess was still trying to wrap her head around how the dragon and fox she had cuddled with like a pet was standing in front of her as a human
Frootten back an hour ago after receiving orders froht to the inn to wash up and rest Much like myself, my childhood friend couldn’t sleep and decided to walk around the market area of the Wall when she ran intoa few paces behind, when Tess looked back over her shoulder and raised a brow “What’s so funny?”
“Huh? Oh, I didn’t even realize I was sway, it co that you’re not happy to see me,” Tess teased
“Unlike Arthur, I holeheartedly admit that I’m happy to see you,” my bond replied before her expression dampened a bit “I just wish it was under better conditions”
“I agree, but I’lad I was able to see the two of you before I leave You look much more charismatic in that sleek new outfit, General Arthur, but Sylvie! I can’t get over how cute and pretty you look in this form!” Tess comforted
My bond’s chest puffed from the corandrow up to be a very pretty dragon”
“I’on with gleaers for eyes as ‘cute,’” I responded back with a smirk
“Is this how you tays talked inside your heads?” Tessia asked with a chuckle
“We’d been getting along fairly maturely until you ca Arthur”
I rolled my eyes “And there’s that snide little attitude I ed as the three of us walked aimlessly around the lower levels of the Wall Workers, blacksmiths, artificers and soldiers alike went out of their way to greet Tess as we passed by the prettier than ever, Princess! A sight for sore eyes in these parts!” a bald blackss he had been holding
“I’ to tell your wife you said that,” Tess replied with a rin
Sylvie and I chuckled as the old blacksot back to work on the set of arrowheads spread out on his anvil
“Head Tessia!” a young girl covered in soot called out as she ran toward us Catching her breath, she said, “Myon in secret”
Tess’ face visibly brightened at her words “Oh! Tell Senyir that I’ll go visit her later tonight! Thank you for the irl beaainst her blackened face Seeing ht nod, she scurried off
“As expected of Tessia,” Sylvie chimed
“Since I’et to spend as ot to know a few people here and there,” my friend explained as we continued on
Sylvie followed beside her “Still, they treat you so kindly Most of the people that we ard Arthur with either awe or fear”
“Well, seeing the head of a unit is one thing Seeing a lance as young as Arthur would elicit a different sort of feeling,” Tess chuckled
“Still,” Sylvie sighed “He can make do with some improvements on his interpersonal skills”
“You know I’ht?” I cut in
Tess laughed, and by the war insideas much fun as our childhood friend
When we reached the steep set of stairs leading all the way to the top of the Wall, Tess stopped and stole a glance atto my bond “Hey, Sylvie Do you mind if I steal Arthur away from you for a bit?”
