LAZARUS REGULUS
Chaptre 385. The War for Women.

Helga drove her chariot slowly, while Lazarus was combing Veronika's silver hair. Blossom is similar to Altair, while Veronika is similar to Iris. Veronika, Amaryllis and Aris inherit Iris's silver hair, but Veronika inherits Cassandra's green eyes.

"Little Veronika, do you like birds?" Lazarus asked.

"Urs, I really like birds." Veronika answered.

"I've told you to call me Grandpa many times. Never mind, I'll give you a bird-shaped hairpin." Lazarus put a bird-shaped hairpin on Veronika's long hair.

Leonhart, Arion and Akihiro looked at the women with envy. They get a gift from their father, but they get nothing. Even though they know that they have to respect women and uphold women, they still envy seeing it all.

"Charon Aris Albion, come here." Lazarus smiled.

"Urs, I am an honorable Noble. I don't want to wear a beautiful hairpin." Charon puffed out his chest.

"..."

Lazarus took out a silver Epic Short Sword Rank engraving a lion on Charon.

Instantly Charon's red irises sparkled at the Short Sword Artifact. "Urs, Short Sword is so beautiful."

"Silver Lion Short Sword." Lazarus gave the artifact to Charon.

Lazarus took out 3 different Short Sword Artifacts from his storage Artifacts. He then passed the Short Sword Darkness Dragon Artifact to Arion, the Black Lion Short Sword Artifact to Leonhart and the Jinlong Short Sword Artifact to Akihiro.

"Urs, this artifact is very beautiful. Mom told me that Dad was a Legendary Black Smith rank." Akihiro says.

"My son, may I see your horns?" Lazarus asked.

"Wait a minute, my horn will break a little. Although it will grow again, but it is very painful!" Akihiro answered.

"Are you a race Oni guy?" Lazarus asked.

"Urs, I am a true Oni race man." Akihiro answered.

"Break your own horn and prove to me you're a real man." Lazarus said coldly.

Akihiro sighed deeply, then she broke her pair of horns. The Oni race will lose the horn as much as 1 time before adulthood because the horn of the Oni race is the source of mana energy reserves of the Oni race.

"It hurts!" Akihiro shouted.

"Curtain, Akihiro you coward I broke my own horn. Mother said that to see the bravery of an Oni race you must break your young horn." Akari stared intently at Akihiro.

Lazarus took out a necklace, a chisel knife and a small drill to make a hole. Akihiro's horns are very small, but they are useful for memento artifacts.

Lazarus began to carve a very beautiful pattern and put a small blue jewel in the center. He hollowed out the horn and attached it to the necklace. A beautiful artifact was formed.

"This is my gift and I'll bring one more horn for me to remember." Lazarus says.

"Thank you." Akihiro answered.

Lazarus gazed at Gardenia and Ariana, knowing that he and the others had forgotten to make earrings in their ears as babies. While Cassandra has made earring holes in Veronika's ear and Reina has made earring holes in Akari's ear.

"Ariana, come here." Lazarus says.

Ariana lay in Lazarus' lap, and Lazarus pulled out a sharp little needle.

"Urs, do you want to make a piercing hole in Ariana's ear?" Veronika asked.

"Me and the others forgot to make a hole in Gardenia and Ariana's ear." Lazarus answered.

"Urs, making piercing holes hurts a lot." Veronika said with a trembling voice.

"Urs, can you make a piercing hole next time?" Ariana asked.

"Close your eyes." Lazarus says.

Ariana closed her eyes. He was a little frightened when Lazarus wanted to make a hole in his ear, but he still believed in Lazarus.

"Open your eyes." Lazarus said while taking cotton swabs to cover the wound in Ariana's ear.

"Is it finished?" Ariana asked.

Lazarus nodded. "Ariana, I'm a professional. I made a piercing hole without pain."

"Birth 14 is a fan of accessories and she taught me about the Skill to make painless piercings," inner Lazarus.

Lazarus took out a gold earring in the shape of a flower and put it in Ariana's ear.

"What a beautiful ear." Ariana smiled as she looked at her reflection in a mirror.

Gardenia had sparkling eyes and told Lazarus to make a piercing hole in her ear.

"My daughter you guys look pretty wearing it." Lazarus says.

"Thank you." Ariana and Gardenia bowed.

Akari smiles. He got earrings from Lazarus when he was a baby. He knew that Lazarus treated him the same as his other brothers.

Although they were different Mothers and they were born from a concubine, she and Akihiro had already thought that her siblings would treat them badly. But Lazarus and the others treated them well.

"Master Urs, do we have to use the usual path or detour to see the Lion Heart region because there is still plenty of time until dinner." Helga smiles.

"Urs, I want to see the territory of the Lion Heart Empire because this region is different from the region of the Frost Moonlight Empire and Regulus which is always covered in snow." Akihiro says.

"All right." Lazarus answered.

...****************...

Lazarus passes through the territory of Viscount Laurel and Count Ash. Although the territory of Count Ash was wider than Viscount Laurel, but the number of Viscount Laurel's soldiers was more and more advanced.

The noble families of Viscount Laurel and Count Ash were hostile for generations. Originally their ancestors were friends and rivals, but the competition of their descendants now became unhealthy. Little sparks of a territorial war will occur.

Altair had repeatedly tried to reconcile them. But they never made peace.

Helga saw 10,000 Laurel troops led by Viscount Harry Laurel move into the Ash border region. Count Ivan Ash and all his troops were ready.

"Helga, why did you stop your train?" Lazarus asked.

"A territory war is taking place in front between Count Ash and Viscount Laurel." Amarilis says.

"Alastair, go to the Lion Heart Imperial Palace and Helga look after the children and take the carriage slowly to the middle of the army. I want to see what the cause of this war is, they lead the war directly and bring 10,000 troops each. It's been their 5-year truce and they usually only fight with 500 troops. Are they going to fight?"

"As your orders." Alastair and Helga answered.

Lazarus rode on the back of the Two-tailed Silver Fox Sil with Blossom going towards the troops who wanted to fight.

"Harry, have you washed your neck?" A handsome man with long blonde hair, green eyes, wearing black armor asked as he brandished the red Great Sword.

"Haha. Ivan, I'm gonna put your head on the gate of my castle." A handsome brown-haired, green-eyed man, with a scratch scar on his right eye, wearing red armor replied while brandishing the silver Spear Artifact.

"Bag, why do you two want to go to war?" Lazarus asked.

"Who is it!" Ivan and Harry shouted at the same time. They didn't know which fool dared to call them both assholes.

They glanced towards a handsome man with long black hair and blue eyes, riding on an Epic Beast Two-tailed Silver Fox. Their faces changed as Lazarus went towards them, as did their trembling army.

"Ivan and Harry, didn't you guys work together 1 week ago while facing the Beast waves in the region of Leonis and Aslan?" Lazarus asked.

"Lazarus, why are you here?" Viscount Harry Laurel asked.

"Lazarus, we just want to fight for our pride." Count Ivan Ash replied.

"I'm taking my son and grandson to see the territory of the Lion Heart Empire. I happened to see you guys want to go to war. Did Altair find out about your war?" Lazarus descended from Sil's back and walked to the center of the army.

"Lazarus, this is none of your business!" Harry shouted.

"Lazarus, I will kill this bastard before I report it to Emperor Altair!" Ivan shouted.

"Stupid, do you want to go to war?" Lazarus asked with a calm expression.

"Harry, who called me to war first." Ivan looked hard at Harry.

"No, Ivan first provoked me!" Harry shouted.

"What is the reason you're at war?" Lazarus asked.

Ivan and Harry were silent at Lazarus' reply. They could not say that the real reason, they were fighting all out was to fight over the beautiful 17-year-old girl.

"Answer my question!" Lazarus shouting.

"Lazarus, this war is none of your business and Regulus' territory. We want to solve this problem using the way of a Knight." Harry answered.

"Who can tell me why Harry and Ivan are at war?" Lazarus asked.

All the soldiers did not answer. They did not want to betray their Master, even though they knew about the reason for this war.

"Well, I and Regulus will join this war and the war will be a 3-sided war. It just so happens that the Ash and Laurels region is a strategic region, then the Regulus region can control the Laurel and Ash regions." Lazarus smiled.

"Emperor Altair, will be very angry." Ivan says.

"Lazarus, we haven't had any problems in the past. I don't want to create trouble with Regulus' territory." Harry says.

They knew the Regulus region was now very strong even stronger than the other 4 regions. If in the past, they could easily destroy the very poor region of Regulus.

However, the territory of Regulus is now growing rapidly and they have no chance of winning even if they join forces. Challenging Regulus' current territory was tantamount to them committing suicide.

"Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus, I'll tell you!" A gray-haired man, fat as a ball, mounted a Black Iron Horse running towards Lazarus.

A beautiful woman, wearing a face mask that only shows silver irises and long golden hair that is scattered behind Baron Alvin Evans.

"Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus, please give justice to me and my daughter Anastasya!" Baron Alvin Evans and Anastasya kneel.

Lazarus was silent for a moment when he saw the beautiful silver eyes, he recalled the beginning of his meeting with Helene, Iris and Lilian. However, the silver eyes were extremely beautiful and made itself speechless for a moment.

"Alvin!" Harry and Ivan shouted with terrified expressions.

"If you dare to move even a little from your place, I swear I will kill you all." Lazarus was bullying everyone while giving off the aura of the Mythical realm.

"Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus, Count Ivan Ash and Viscount Harry Laurel originally visited me to talk about the wheat and herbal business. They want me to represent them in order to establish a cooperative relationship with the Regulus region." Baron Alvin said.

"Forward." Lazarus answered.

"I have only 2 wives in my life. I married Amelia and she died while I was on the battlefield, then I fell in love again with Kylie Green who is the older sister of the late Viscount Vincent Green and married her. Kylie loves me a lot and I love her a lot too, but fate says another and Kylie dies in childbirth." Baron Alvin sobbing.

"Is that girl your daughter, don't you have no children?" Lazarus asked.

"My daughter Anastasya was a girl endowed by Gods such as Saint Iris, Princess Lilian and Duchess Helene Leonis. She was born with a beauty that made flowers envious, I love her so much." Baron Alvin sobbing.

"Dad." Anastasya says.

"I hid it from the outside world for 15 years because I was just an ordinary man with very little territory and troops. I knew Anastasya's beauty would make a fuss, if it was known to people. Do you remember about the tragedy that Saint Iris caused in the past? I don't want the tragedy to repeat itself. In contrast to Saint Iris, Princess Lilian and Duchess Helene who had support behind them, as a Baron I had no strength and power to protect Anastasya." Baron Alvin said.

Lazarus nodded.

"Viscount Harry Laurel and Count Ivan Ash accidentally saw Anastasya playing in the castle's garden. They are then fascinated by Anastasya's beauty and propose to Anastasya. But Anastasya rejected him because he wanted to find his own partner like his two mothers. A man who loves her sincerely without seeing her beauty. Viscount Harry and Count Ivan Ash fought a war to determine who deserved to be the husband of my daughter Anastasya." Baron Alvin explained.

"I understand beauty can make a man kill each other and the Kingdom fight each other. There were so many male lions in the Lion Heart Empire like these two fools. When Edgar, Altair, Icarus and the other male lions saw him. This business is gonna get bigger." Lazarus answered.

"Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus, I beg you to take care of my daughter. He's my only descendant and heir to the name Evans." Baron Alvin said.

"I can't protect your daughter." Lazarus answered.

"Why can't you take my daughter?" Baron Alvin asked.

Lazarus walked towards Alvin and Anastasya. "In the Castle and Regulus region there are a lot of male lions. I once guarded a very beautiful Beastman girl, but countless men chased after her. When I forbade them to go after Elena, they told me that I had no right to forbid them. If I marry Elena, they promise they won't go after Elena again."

"What's my daughter's fate? Do I have to ask Emperor Altair to take care of him?" Baron Alvin asked.

"No!" Lazarus, Harry and Ivan shouted at the same time.

"Baron Alvin, Altair must have made Anastasya his 100th wife. Altair is a natural predator especially when looking at beautiful women." Lazarus answered.

"Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus, what should I do?" Baron Alvin asked.

"I handed Elena over to Helene. I'm going to take Anastasya to Leonis territory and ask Helene for help to guard her." Lazarus smiled.

"Thank you, Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus." Anastasia answered.

"Lazarus, our business isn't finished, can Anastasya be safe if she marries me?" Viscount Harry asked.

"Harry we haven't determined who will marry Anastasya." Count Ivan Ash replied.

Icarus, Altair and Alastair led the 30,000 Lion Heart Imperial Army running towards this place.

"Did you report it to Altair?" Count Ivan Ash asked.

"I told Alastair to report that there was a war on the border between Laurel and Ash. I'm actually just bluffing you guys to buy some time until the forces of the Lion Heart Imperial Capital arrive." Lazarus smiled subtly as he stepped towards the carriage and carried the White Dragon Horse Lotus.

"Fuck!" Ivan and Harry shouted.

Lazarus extended his hand towards Anastasya, he was going to the region of Leonis to ask Helene for help to guard Anastasya.

"Miss, can you come with me?" Lazarus smiled.

Anastasya felt his heart beating faster than usual. He had never felt this kind of feeling before.

"Thank you, Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus." Anastasya returned Lazarus' hand and rode on the back of the White Dragon Horse with Lazarus.

"Anastasya you can call me Grandpa Urs or Mr. Urs and Blossom tell Iris that I will be late to go home." Lazarus says.

"All right." Blossom smile.

"Wait, Lazarus, our business is not finished!" Viscount Harry Laurel shouted.

"Harry, Ivan, when Altair found out and saw Anastasya. What do you think Altair's gonna do?" Lazarus asked.

"Go, we will explain this matter to Emperor Altair!" Count Ivan shouted.

Lazarus spurred the White Dragon Horse Lotus into Leonis territory, while Anastasya hugged Lazarus tightly.

"Mr Urs, I've told you a lot about you. He said you were a kind and brave man, but after I met you I felt you more than that. You look like a white equestrian knight in the story I read." Anastasya smiled.

"Miss, are you looking into someone's soul without asking permission?" Lazarus asked.

Anastasya's body was trembling. "Mr Urs, I'm sorry for being so presumptuous to use your Eye Of Soul Skill."

"Anastasya, if you're Princess Kylie, you're Vincent's niece." Lazarus says.

"I heard from Dad that you were in the same adventurous Party as Uncle Vincent." Anastasya says.

"Anastasya, I know Vincent very well. Anastasya, do you believe that I was the one who killed Vincent?" Lazarus asked.

"Master Urs, Uncle Vincent must have made such a big mistake on you that you killed him." Anastasia answered.

"Are you not vengeful to me for knowing that I killed your Uncle and your only family on your side?" Lazarus asked.

Anastasiah hugged Lazarus' body. "I read my mother's diary. Uncle Vincent is a very evil man and has betrayed all his friends. Do you feel guilty for me? Aren't you a good man for helping me?"

The smell of flowers from Anastasya's dress.

"You're a very nice girl." Lazarus says.

"Mr Urs, thank you."

...****************...

Rein guarded the gates of Leonis Castle with 7 men. They saw Lazarus riding on the back of a White Dragon Horse from a distance.

A guard told a maid, and the maid ran into the castle to tell Lazarus to Duchess Helene Leonis.

"Did he visit me?" Helene smiled brightly.

"Miss, why are you so happy today?" The beautiful girl of the Golden Tiger Beastman race with long golden hair and purple eyes asked.

"Elena, bring me my most beautiful dress. I must get ready before I meet him." Helene answered.

"All right." Elena answered.

The waiter at Leonis Castle guides Lazarus, and Elena welcomes him by the door.

"Sir Urs, did you go to Leonis Castle to visit me and take me back to Regulus?" Elena smiled with a red face.

"Elena, your brother Reinhart will be back in 2 months for the holidays. I visited the region of Leonis to ask Helene for help." Lazarus smiled.

Elena looked at the woman wearing the face veil beside Lazarus, but she said nothing and guided Lazarus to the throne room.

"Sufuku. Urs, did you deliberately visit me?" Helene sat on the throne in her best dress.

Elena widened her eyes, she now knew the reason why Duchess Helene was so happy.

"I need your help." Lazarus sat in a chair with Anastasiah.

"What can I help you with?" Helene asked.

"Anastas." Lazarus says.

Anastasya took off his face cover and revealed a very beautiful face like porcelain carved by the Gods

"A very beautiful girl, is she your lover or your concubine?" Helene asked.

"Hail Duchess Helene my name is Anastasya Evans daughter of Baron Alvin Evans." Anastasia introduced herself.

"I need your help to take care of Anastasya. She was a good girl. 2 The Lion Heart nobility was about to fight a war to fight over it." Lazarus answered.

"A girl is blessed, but where there is blessing there is a curse because the world is composed of laws of cause and effect. I'll look after Natasha like my own sister, you can hand Natasha over to me." Helene says.

"Thank you." Lazarus answered.

"Do you want to spend the night at Leonis Castle?" Helene smiled seductively.

"I'm sorry, but I had to turn down your offer because my family was waiting for dinner. I promised my daughter Ariana I'd cook for her." Lazarus smiled.

Lazarus had a little chat with Helene and Elena, then he said goodbye to having to go home before dinner.

"Is that guy not tempted by a pretty girl like me?" Helene asked.

"Duchess Helene, Mr. Urs has always stayed away from girls. He seemed to have had a trauma towards the women, in the past he went to a Restaurant with the Emperor Altair and it turned out that the Restaurant had joined a brothel. Lady Carissa and Iris who knew it went berserk and made Mr. Urs cold to every woman." Elena answered.

"..."

"Hachu. Is someone talking about me?" Lazarus murmuring.
