"Hey, can you ask me to join this war?"

The man's head was directly facing Cassandra.

One sec.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

"Is your brain empty?" said Arlen managed to display an irritated smile on Cassandra's face.

It was easy for the man to insinuate him.

"You think the battlefield is a playground? One step, you could lose your life" he said.

"After all, I can't casually take you without the approval of His Majesty" he said in a dislike tone.

"But I can be bait!" sergeant Cassandra's fast.

Arlen raised his thick eyebrows next to his. "Feeds?"

"Yes. For example, you need a spy to know the enemy's secrets, I can do it" Cassandra explained.

"Sooking? Can you do it? Don't look too high on yourself" cried Arlen.

"Hmph! You look down on me too much! Just so you know, I was once an up-and-coming actress!" proud said.

"Actress? What'sthat?"

"Jeez, sneaking!" put it in the heart. "Uhm, the point is that you can count on me!" katilah.

"Also I can't let you be in dangerous territory. You just sit there waiting for me to bring back the victory," he said.

"If I could."

However, it is not Cassandra if it cannot get her wish without a struggle.

He will keep trying, until he is completely unable to put in any more effort.

"I will grant all your requests, anything," he said.

"Anything?" There was a slanted smile at the corner of the blond gibboned man's lips.

"Yes. For example, I can cook every day for you, I can clean your room every day, I can-"

"If it were entirely mine when I managed to bring victory?"

"Oh, of course. That's a very easy thing. Being yours completely-" The woman seemed to be aware of what she was doing.

His eyes were glared and he immediately wavered. "U-uh, u-for that matter is not bole-"

"Eits, a deal is a deal. You've agreed to it. So, I'm gonna take you with me," Arlen cut open the woman as if she wanted to say something but was held back.

He wanted to feel his lips moved like a red apple that could tempt anyone.

In addition to their position that is able to make his male desire appear, it is possible to make him unable to control himself.

But quickly, he brushed off his mind that was starting to get out of control.

"So, prepare yourself to go to the battlefield."

Cassandra seemed to bite her lower lip, doubtful of two things that made her worry.

"don't want? So, don't even think about coming back" Arlen said.

Actually, he deliberately used the thing that the woman feared so that she did not dare to ask for such reckless things.

When compared with the desire of his lust, he prefers about the safety of brown women who are in his lap.

Because he knew, the war this time was not easy. He might lose his life this time.

And of course she couldn't tell Cassandra that, because she didn't want to make the woman worry.

It was also if the woman really cared about her safety.

After struggling with his thoughts, Arlen refocused on the map of the region before him.

He had to be vigilant, because if he miscalculated, then hundreds of soldiers' lives might be lost due to his carelessness.

The net is cool to run here and there while his mind is busy looking for a strategy that might be used as a backup, also to avoid lives that are lost in the slightest.

"Oh yes, if I hear your strategy earlier, I think that strategy is not right" Cassandra said, placing her index finger under her chin.

"So, if you divide an average of 300,000 soldiers in each of the three regions, isn't that too risky with those two unprotected areas?" ask the woman.

Arlen went back to face the woman, how could the woman have the same thoughts as him?

"You said that if you were going to lead the remaining 20,000 soldiers in the front row, wouldn't that be a little bit unfavorable to you?"

"Even though you were a hero in the last battle, didn't the act of bringing an army of only 20,000 sound a little arrogant?" the woman managed to surprise Arlen.

How could that woman understand such a thing? Even his thoughts were almost the same as her.

"And also, the strategy this time seems a little too positive thinking" he said. "It doesn't matter if you think positive. If it is too much-"

"Then it shows that you're underestimating something too much" they said simultaneously.

Cassandra immediately turned her gaze which was originally fixed forward towards Arlen.

"How can you be so smart about this?" asked the man with a curiosity that could not be contained.

"Eh?" Cassandra was a little surprised and clumsy when the woman received a very rare praise from the man in front of her.

"Ehm.well, I'm just learning a lot" he said, scratching his jaw with his index finger.

"I also couldn't possibly say that I was a battle game maniac in the past two years," he said.

"I also think like that" said Arlen. "Strategy this time is quite unconvincing in my opinion."

"If you don't think it's convincing, then why would you agree to it?" cassandra asked confused.

"Your Majesty the King has agreed to that, so I can't dwell either."

Cassandra nodded in understanding. "So how are you going to win this war? Can you make sure you're okay?"

"Are you worried about me?"

"Of course I'm worried about you" Cassandra replied without hesitation. "If you lose your life, chances are I won't be able to return to my home world. Also, if you disappear, I don't know why I can't imagine."

"Why did you hear me say that, I was so afraid of losing my life" Arlen said with a smile..?. bitter...?

Cassandra was a little surprised to see the smile she thought was foreign to the man showing.

The woman was immersed in the shady netra that the man laid on her.

And he felt an indescribable turmoil of feeling that thrashed within him.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

The two of them looked directly at the door in front of them.

Cassandra only realized that their position was classified as embarrassing sitting has lasted long enough.

Honestly, he's a little comfortable. However, the woman immediately brushed off her honesty.

"Come in" said Arlen loudly. Until shortly after, the door creaked indicating someone opened it.

"Arlen, are you busy?" The soft voice that became the hallmark of a blonde woman made Cassandra immediately turn lazy eyeball when she heard it.

"What business is it?"

"I'd like to ask you a little help, if you don't mind" he said in a weakened tone.

Arlen immediately turned his gaze towards the papers that were on the surface of his desk. "I'm busy" he refused.

Anastasia could only display a weak smile with a pitiful look on her face. "Just for a second. please...."

Cassandra, who was fed up with the fake facial features displayed by the snake woman, immediately replied. "Can't you just take a little time, Arlen? I'm sure Anastasia must have something so important that it forced her to bother you while you were busy" her alibi.

Arlen seemed to be breathing heavily. "Alright," he said resignedly and then rose from his seat and followed where Anastasia took him.

...🥀...

"What's the matter, Anastasia?" arlen asked straight to the core, not wanting to mince words.

"Especially sit first" said the woman taking Arlen to sit next to her.

Arlen could only comply with the request of the blonde woman. He landed his groin on the edge of Anastasia's bed.

"Say, what do you need from me?"

Anastasia began to pull the zipper of the dress she wore until her back was plastered. "I'm a little hurt, but since this wound is on my back, I'm a little hard to treat."

"Can't you just tell the waiter to do it for you?"

"Do you really not want to help me, Arlen? If yes, then I can do it myself" Anastasia said with a sad look that made Arlen a little guilty.

He took a slow breath. "Well, where's the cure?"

Anastasia also gave the ointment medicine that had been in her grasp on Arlen.

The man's finger was stretched out to apply the ointment on Anastasia's injured back.

There was a ringing sound coming from the woman's lips.

"Hold on a little bit" Arlen said and was nodding back by Anastasia.

It did not take long, Arlen was ready to apply ointment in the wound Anastasia.

As he moved, he felt a check in his hand that automatically made him stop and look at the perpetrator.

"Is there anything else?" Arlen seemed to start showing an annoyed look on his flat face.

"Arlen.." call Anastasia as she begins to slowly lower her upper clothes so that her cleavage is visible.

"What are you doing, Anastasia?" arlen said with great emphasis.

"Arlen. You've never touched me, we haven't even had a night. Do you really hate me?" ask Anastasia while pulling the spoiled Arlen wrist.

"Have we not discussed this, Anastasia. I had to marry you, but I don't love you at all."

"However, why? Is there anything less than me?! Am I not beautiful in your eyes?! Why are you acting like this now, Arlen?!"

The woman began to scream hysterically letting out her entire heart. Puddles of tears have now adorned his cheekbones.

"Aren't you the one who made me act like this to you?" The jawbone of the man began to print clearly, the look in his eyes began to sharpen, indicating that he was starting to get emotional.

"You alone are the one who destroyed our friendship, Ana," Arlen said, saying the name he used to call his childhood best friend.

"Don't you ever love me a little? Can't you just give me a little love?" lirih Anastasia with the head that she subdued.

"I love you, Anastasia. I love you as much as my own sister" Arlen said, not making Anastasia happy at all.

The woman seemed to be squeezing the skirt of the dress she was wearing, her lower lip was bitten very hard because of the pain that pierced her heart mercilessly.

"I hope by this you understand that I only love you as a sister, not as a woman" she said, shaking her hand to forcefully remove Anastasia's grip on her hand.

The blond man began to step by step, away from the woman who was being controlled by her emotions.

"ARGH!!!"

Pyars!

The items inside the luxurious bedroom were the target of Anastasia's heightened emotions.

He does not accept. He does not accept himself by just being considered a sister. She did not accept being loved as a sister.

He wants to be loved as a woman. She wants to be the only woman who gets love from that man.

And whoever will stand in his way, then he will not hesitate to get rid of his barrier.

...🥀...

Cassandra Pov's

That smile kept me thinking. His smile looked like a smile showing that something was giving him up.

But I don't know what it is. And, from the information that he told me just now it was as if he did not get the victory this time.

As if, victory was an impossible thing to get.

Why is he showing such a smile? What is she hiding behind that smile?

And, my concern about his decision made my heart doubt.

Actually I want to go with him in the war this time. Because who knows I can be an enemy spy armed with my theatrical skills.

And with that, maybe in a desperate situation, all the information I get from being a spy can come in handy.

But on the other hand, I was confused at once.

He said if I go with him, then I should be his.

I was scared. and I doubt it. I can't just give up my honor on a foreign man. Even though he is currently my husband.

Did he make this deal on purpose so I couldn't go with him?

If true, but what is the reason? Is she really sincerely worried about me-more precisely worrying about Cassandra la Devoline?

Of course I can't sit idly by when he desperately brings victory to save this country.

I can't let anyone who's ever helped me fight alone.

It seems that this decision is correct. I need to see him right away.

I ran as fast as I could, and before long, my body had arrived in front of his closed workspace.

Impatiently and without knowing manners, I loudly opened the door, causing a loud enough sound.

I saw him start to look at me with his face flat as usual.

He was silent, waiting for me to throw a sentence from my lips.

"I will go with you in this war, and I will be yours once you can bring victory to this war."
