Hannoic War
No one understands them (Part 20)

"War is Father and King of all things.Some he has made a god, some he made a man, some he made slaves, some he made free..."

- Herodotus in Heraclitus of Ephesus

No one understands them

The horse's feet shaped the streets of the capital, with Vesius and his fat belly riding on the horse.

A cold morning breeze could be felt passing through the armour of Vesius, while the light of the morning sun was climbing up the wall of the capital.

The sky was still quite dark because of how early they left.

"Vale, are you ready?" said Vesius while eating chicken in his hand.

"Yes my lord, all 19 loyal knights of the Garius family are ready all to protect your home castle my lord" said Vale with his grave old face.

"Heh" , smiling Vesius heard it, "father will be angry with me for giving the post of substitute Minister of Military to Torrmund, one last spit in his face before I die on the battlefield perhaps"

Vesius then looked back, the 19 knights lined up neatly riding on the castle horses and their powerful swords.

Their diarmour is engraved with the coat of arms of the Owl which has been part of their body for many years.

*Some are old and serve my family for more than decades.There are also those who have served me during the Tyronian War.maybe I can feel safe during the trip* ,thought Vesius as he chewed on the chicken meat in his mouth staring at every Knight who followed him.

The streets of the capital are quieter and empty in the morning but there are also ordinary people who prepare shops and sales early in the day.

Some of them looked at Vesius from earlier with curious gazes as well as frightened gazes.

Vesius looked back sharply at the front..

Her green eyes glowed dimly staring sharply ahead...

A smile formed on his face.

"Let death bet" said Vesius as he spurred his horse and dropped his cock on the streets of the capital.

And then the knights of Vesius followed him...

For a moment the image of Vesius looked like a giant owl flying in space...

The coldness of the mud and wood could be felt at his feet.

The dark of the night made him unable to see much.

Locked his hand by the chain, had tried himself from earlier to remove this chain but could not.

Smiling himself…

"Even in a cage like this, you still have that strange smile, you traitorous and sacred vow-breaker" Hakoon said from outside the wooden cage looking at Aethel who was locked inside.

"Oh, you're Hakoon, I think a talking pig, hehe" said Aethel, smiling with his face covered in wet and dry mud.

"You are lucky to have directly handed yourself over to Mr. Mallibax a few days ago, otherwise I have seen you hanged now" Hakoon said with a disgusted face to Aethel.

"Hehe" , Aethel's little laugh with her dirty-sounding breath.

Aethel remembered a few days ago, what about himself...

'I'm king of Geralda now'

Her chanting still remembered her more than the hundreds of faces of women who cried when she killed and was raped by Mr. Jahae's subordinates.

After he felt the warm seat of the throne of King Geralda or Duke of Geralda, he immediately stood up.

'I'm kidding! I surrendered myself! I surrendered myself! Hahaahha!'

He shouted loudly.

He laughed loudly and darkly.

No one understands the jokes and jokes.

Only Miss Merry smiled and laughed a little with a face that went crazy which then turned into crying.

Everything can only be astonished, astonished, and confused.

And then the sound of the thumping of the throne room gate sounded.

"AND GENERAL CALLIBAX OF THE HONORABLE MALLIBAX FAMILY, KIND, GREAT, GREAT, ADMIRING, AND WISELY FORGIVE ANY MAN WHO SURRENDERS HIMSELF! HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!" , Aethel's voice was so loud that all the soldiers were around his cage.

"You have indeed gone mad, the god seems to take half your mind after you have broken your sacred vows" Hakoon said with a face that Aethel had seen for many years....

Disgusted face to himself…

"God heh, where was your god when I put my bull into a peasant's daughter in the village when I was young huh? Where I made her cry and flow her virginity blood in my seed" said Aethel with her widened eyes and a smile.

"God will come after you die Aethel, you just have to wait" Hakoon said with a cold face.

"Heh, when? After I raped hundreds more women? After I slaughtered millions more? After I made my stone dark red because of the virginity blood of the woman I raped?" Aethel said as she stood up slowly.

When Aethel stood up, he came back like a half-demon, half-crazy man.

A smile is more evil now than madness.

"When? I have broken my sacred vow to serve the Mahald Family.Where is your god, huh?" said Aethel.

"God will come to you 'Destroyer of the Oath', you and your master throw my little daughter into prison, when your master is on the verge of defeat you leave your master and kill her, it will make the gods angry at you" ,hakoon said while furrowing his brows.

"And General Callibax forgave me for that..Maybe he is a real god, you want to kill me Hakoon? Or lecturing me? Hehehahaha try to kill me, I protected 'the red law of nobility', any nobleman who surrendered himself directly without a fight should not be killed carelessly loh.hehehe" , ' hehhe" ,said Aethel while trying to get his head out of his wooden cage.

"I heard from General Callibax that you will be hanged for breaking your sacred oath, Aethel" Hakoon said.

"Hehehhehe and getting rid of the 'noble red law' required permission from the 15-year-old little king, and you remember in that throne room you said it took you months to send a letter to him? Hehe" ,laughs little Aethel at the end.

Aethel felt unable to stop laughing continuously as he slapped every word Hakoon said.

"In months you will remain here Aethel with mud and chains.waiting for your death.." Hakoon said with face to judge Aethel.

"May I ask Hakoon?" said Aethel with a smile.

"What?" , murmured Hakoon.

"How is Miss Merry?" asked Aethel.

"What's your problem with that widow Mrs Jahae? He is fine, he is with the servant and healer who healed the wounds of torment from Lord Jahae, soon Mr. Callix will transport him to his family back" Hakooon said.

Aethel could only smile like a demon…

*srekk!*

Aethel quickly pulled Hakoon out of his confinement.

His hand came out of the cage and pulled as hard as Hakoon's fatty body.

Strongly Aethel held Hakoon's clothes.

"Ekh!" , murmured Hakoon while being pulled by Aethel.

Hakoon did not have time to shout then Aethel reached something hipped Hakoon.

*Shhrrringggg!*

Hakoon's sword was taken by Aethel quickly.

A fresh iron sword came out from its scabbard and raked away the sharp one it touched…

"Akhhhh!!!" said Hakoon while falling on the ground.

Seen the part of his arm that was bleeding badly because of his sword scratched.

Some of the soldiers who noticed, then immediately moved towards Aethel.

"What! What's the matter?!" said the guard soldier who approached immediately.

*Bbbruk!*

The sound of Aethel's wood cage being smashed was heard.

*Bbbruk!*

Aethel kept kicking his wooden cage and then came out like a demon locked away for thousands of years.

Although with the chain tying his hands together so one looks Aethel is still smiling….

But this time he had his iron sword…

The sword in his hand he lifted up the air.

Aethel made no sound and just smiled like a demon.

Showing his white teeth.

Surrounded by dozens of soldiers…

The iron of his sword Aethel glistened while reflecting the light of the camp torch.

Walking Cleorah in this room of the royal library of Dalmatia, the usually dark room turned bright with more candles illuminating this library.

Of course this library becomes brighter not without reason..

"Your husband I heard liked the Solem cake from Akkadian, is that true?" , the voice heard from the half-teen woman and half-mother could be heard as Cleorah walked in the library.

"Yes! My son likes it too. But unfortunately the material of the mucus of the fruit of the polish is difficult to find, if met the most expensive" , the voice of another woman is also heard.

"I have a lot of polish tablets I bought from Akkadia~ I held in Harlaw Port.But dear traitor Trivistane.it.." ' said a woman with emotional tone in her voice quickly changed.

When Cleorah reached the source of the voice, it could be seen that Miss Harlaw was talking to a woman.

They both appear to be sitting near a long table in this library surrounded by bookshelves.

"Just calm down, my son is going to war with Mr. Perrin's right hand. They will definitely bring victory and Miss Harlaw's child will definitely be released!" said the woman who spoke to Miss Harlaw in a tone of spirit, looking at the woman holding Miss Harlaw's hand with postitive exertion.

"Thank you.I thank you, indeed the Traimor Family is one of the most loyal families.." said Miss Harlaw, wiping her tears.

"Miss Harlaw.and.nona Traimont" said Cloerah in a soft tone.

The two women then turned their heads suddenly towards Cleorah, it could be seen that the two of them were quite shocked to see Cleorah.

"Master Hero.." said Miss Harlaw as she bowed from her chair with a smile.

"Lord hero" said Miss Traimont as she bowed.

"May I ask why Miss Harlaw is here?" asked Cleorah.

"Just read some of my master's books, and chat with Miss Traimont sir. Especially on this night there are many things that can be discussed for both mothers" said Miss Harlaw while waking her back from bending over.

"Ouh.ok" Cleorah said.

"OK?" said Miss Harlaw, furrowing her brows.

*I forgot that this is another world.a foreign world.a world that does not welcome me well.*, thought Cleorah.

"Something unique my lord, but by the way Miss Traimont.it's late at night, and there's a lot you need to do for tomorrow morning, a mother needs to sleep.." ,said Miss Harlaw as she turned to Miss Traimont and smiled.

"How about you Miss Harlaw..bu-doesn't Miss need to sleep too?" said Miss Traimont nervously.

"I as Miss Harlaw still have a lot to do" said Miss Harlaw with a half-friendly, half-dangerous smile.

"Good miss" said Miss Traimont, who stood up from the chair and then gave her last bow of courtesy to Cleorah and Miss Harlaw, only then walked out of the library.

When Miss Traimont left...Cleorah and Miss Harlaw stared intently at each other.

For a moment the atmosphere became tense and silent.

"Fufu..His husband is quite good Cleorah's body" said Miss Harlaw with her sly smile, "hahh..now the Traimont Family is safe on our side.."

Cleorah could only furrow her brows and had a cynical face.

Miss Harlaw's lips were really soft and beautiful fused together with her more beautiful face.

Especially her hair that is tied neatly, making her a dream woman for men and even women..

"Why? You don't like me?" said Miss Harlaw with a smile.

Cleorah did not reply and simply fell silent.

Seeing Miss Harlaw.....Cleorah remembers a lot of her school days past, she remembers having a pretty face and a cute nature that made many men help and make friends with her.

Swap phone numbers with a lot of men for attention. Then go out with a lot of guys for attention…

He also asked for their money and protection, for his own benefit.

Until she meets Cyrus, a man who is considerate and understands Cleorah more than any other man..

And then he changes himself to get Cyrus' love..

Then he met the monsters of the monsters...Perrin and Julius…

Meeting friends and hundreds of complex characters is like a novel…

Unconsciously his life changed without him knowing….

"Come on..Somehow you don't like me, so you don't return my words? You consider me a whore, don't you? Heh.I'm natural with that" said Miss Harlaw with a sly smile.

"No, I understand why you did that" Cleorah said.

*I can understand, what you did was.for the sake of life.for the sake of winning...at the moment I am not as stupid as I was in the past.* , Cleorah thought with a sharp look.

"Heh, Mr. Perrin does have a lot of interesting friends" Harlaw said.

Miss Harlaw then opened the history book in her hands.can be seen hundreds of sheets thick..

"Strantos's history of the first humans came to Strantos.." ' said Miss Harlaw as she read the book, "you want to know 'sweet'?"

*'sweet'?* ,thought Cleorah with a frown.

"Fufu.why? You don't like being called sweet by women older than you?" said Miss Harlaw smiling with her red lips.

"Why haven't you slept? Why are you still here to talk to me?" Cleorah said in annoyance.

"Why? You young man.quick get angry and don't think much longer.I want to talk about us.." said Miss Harlaw as she touched her own chest.

"On us?" said Cleorah.

"Yes we.." said Miss Harlaw with a wider smile, "I respect your master Mr. Perrin, he is not an indiscriminate fool. He knows he's working with his enemies to extort profits"

Miss Harlaw then stood up slowly from her seat…

The golden necklace and the jewelry on her body swayed and reflected the light as Miss Harlaw stood up.

While Miss Harlaw's body itself is quite thick and fatty but balanced enough to make it more beautiful…

"But what you made by asking me to give you money that's 20 times the equivalent of your gray diamond bracelet...you learned from her?" said Miss Harlaw as she approached Cleorah.

Miss Harlaw could be felt to be taller than Cleorah, making Cleorah even more nervous.

Swallowing spit Cleorah..

"No need to be scared, son, I also learned to do the same method with my mother. Mr. Perrinmu is completely different to him, sometimes he gives us a letterless speech and only a symbolism that he wears, just like your gray diamond bracelet" said Miss Harlaw.

"Sometimes he comes to us alone to say something without a letter" Cleorah said.

"Hm, you're right" said Miss Harlaw, "this is a strange time, son, you know this may be the only time that women lead Dalmatia?"

"I think it's possible." ' Cleorah said in a doubtful tone.

*Dalmatia must have had a queen in the past..who has command power and power like Perrin right..?* ,thought Cleorah.

"Hm, you don't know much history I guess?" said Miss Harlaw, narrowing her eyes.

"That's why I'm here" Cleorah said as she walked forward and passed Miss Harlaw.

Then stop in front of the bookshelf.

*Where is the Dalmatian history book…? Mr. Casca said the Dalmatia history book is on this shelf.* , Cleorah thought as he touched one by one the book.

" 'Dalmatian history books from standing up to the time of King Halann ii' are recorded there in the very middle of the second" said Miss Harlaw, pointing to a bookcase.

Cleorah then moved and walked towards the corresponding shelf designated by Miss Harlaw.

When the book was published, Cleorah looked for the book…

*mana?* ,thought Cleorah.

Miss Harlaw's gaze made Cleorah uncomfortable..

"Pfff.." , you can hear Miss Harlaw's laughter stuck in her throat.

Cleorah immediately turned her gaze towards Miss Harlaw when she heard her laughter.

"You believe me? I lie. A book you're not there, but here" said Miss Harlaw with a smile as she closed the book.

The book he held during his conversation with Cleorah was titled 'The Dalmatian history books from its founding until the time of King Halann ii'

"The man can easily believe something son, especially when he feels uncomfortable" said Miss Harlaw with a strong smile.

"What do you want from talking to me?" Cleorah said with a frown.

"I told you, I just wanted to talk to you, especially with you, the one who learned the most from Mr. Perrin" Harlaw said.

"Why? You're obsessed with her?" Cleorah said in a strong, firm tone.

The atmosphere became silent, with the library dark and the palace of Balradius silent.

Ms. Harlaw simply smiled as she dragged her soft finger from end to end on the cover of the Dalmatia history book.

*..tuk*

"See…? You have the same strong tone of voice as her." said Miss Harlaw as she stepped her foot.

Miss Harlaw then approached Cleorah..

Miss Harlaw's body once again looked bigger and taller than Cleorah's.

Ms. Harlaw then touched the Dalmatian history book to Cleorah's stomach.

"I pray Victory for Mr. Perrin as much as you do.I pray for him to free my home Harlaw Port from the treacherous occupation of Trivistane.." ,said Miss Harlaw with the sharpest look Cleorah had ever seen.

*What does he want?* ,thought Cleorah.

"You love your children?" asked Cleorah curiously.

"Of course, you think a mother doesn't love her child? A mother like myself would even fight with half the people of Dalmatia to protect her child" Miss Harlaw said with a smile.

Cleorah gulped hearing it.

Cleorah became even more nervous and frightened…

*Is that so? Is that the love of a mother? Does this monster really have such a side? The side of a mother who loves her child?* ,thought Cleorah.

Even Cleorah stepped her feet back to hear it.

"You doubt, don't you? A mother will always have affection for her child, even from a monster like myself" Ms Harlaw said, touching her chest with her finger.

Cleorah only narrowed her eyes when she heard him.

"Hahh.Teen girls like you won't know, you don't have a child yet. Bulla my son even had a fight with me because I ordered him not to go anywhere without a bodyguard" said Miss Harlaw with half sad eyes and half strong.

Cleorah was quite surprised.everyone she considered a monster turned out to have this side..

They have their weak side..

He remembers Perrin when he had warm eyes in his room when he told Julius…

Far different from the powerful Perrin, it had a commanding, frightening, and serious aura.

Now it's…

Miss Harlaw is a half-prostitute, half-strategic, experienced politician, and a woman who, for power's sake, will do anything including sacrifice her body..

Far different from half the gaze in his eyes now.a mother who missed her child.and was afraid of the condition of her child that he had not heard for weeks...

Miss Harlaw then pointed her book at Cleorah.

His sea blue eyes glowed dimly in the darkness staring intently at Cleorah.

Eliminated almost all the warm gazes in his eyes...

"You teenagers won't understand how we feel as adults as we do, sometimes you think you know, but the facts don't" Ms Harlaw said strongly.

Cleorah became nervous and then walked over backwards.

*Trud*

Then Cleorah nudged a series of books unintentionally.

*Trld*..Trud*

The other book then snatched and fell on the floor.

*Trudduck*Trudd*Trdduudk*

Many of his books fell.

Cleorah then just smiled bitterly looking at him.

"Hm" , Smiling Miss Harlaw saw it, "basic teenagers, sloppy"

Cleorah then picked up one book at a time on the floor.

"Hahh.." ,sighing Cleorah.

And put it back on the bookshelf.

"It doesn't need to be cleared up, it's a waiter's job" Ms Harlaw said.

Cleorah ignored Miss Harlaw's words.

Miss Harlaw just sighed and sat back down at the table.

But Cleorah then saw something….

*What is that?* ,thought Cleorah while narrowing her eyes to see something in the dark.

There's something behind this bookshelf..

Something's…

Someone is lying down..

*What is that?* ,thought Cleorah trying to take a closer look.

His heart is beating fast…

His body was surprised to see it..

Cleorah then covered her mouth holding a shout when she saw it..

*Trldudd*

The book in his hand accidentally fell back on the floor…

And his feet were fearfully retreating.

Miss Harlaw who saw Cleorah's behavior immediately stood up from her desk.

And approaching curious..

"What's the matter?" , asked Miss Harlaw curiously.

"That's." Cleorah pointed.

"What..?" said Miss Harlaw while looking at the direction Cleorah pointed..

Miss Harlaw then saw that as well..

"Corpse.." ' said Miss Harlaw.
