Declaration of War(Part-03)

"Please help me... Please help me." I saw a beautiful blonde haired lady screaming.

She was tied by a rope. It's as if she was in some kind of eroic role play.

"I am sorry. I will save you now." Saying that I went closer to her and started to undone the rope.

"I am Serene. What about you?" I asked.

"I am Alicia. You can call me Alice too." She replied.

"Nice to meet you, Alice. By the way, why did they tied you up?" I asked.

"They were after my beautiful body. I am the most beautiful lady after all." She praised herself.

Well, she really is beautiful.

Alice is a young woman with long, flowing blonde hair that frames her face. Her petite stature stands at approximately 160 cm, making her shorter than average. Though she may not have a well-defined bust, her cute and charming demeanor more than makes up for it. Alice's features are delicate, with soft, rounded cheeks and bright, sparkling eyes that give her a youthful appearance. She carries herself with a gentle grace, always exuding a sense of kindness and warmth towards those around her.

"I see. You're from now on. I have killed those filthy bastards." I reassured her.

"Really? I don't have to sell my body anymore? I was prepared to get treated as sex slave." She said with a happy face.

"Yeah. All of your bad luck just ended here. You're free from now on." I said.

"Thanks God." She sighed, "I thought, I would have to serve them with my naked body. Really, I had a bad luck. I have never thought that I would lose in a gambling."

"What do you mean?" I tilted my head.

"Actually, I was a good and powerful adventurer. I was really good at gambling. But one day, I lost to them. I had no money with me. So, finding no way, I had to sell myself. But it's okay now. I am free from now on." She said excitedly.

"Do you have any shame? You sold yourself just because you lost in a gamble." I said her. I am a bit mad at her behavior though.

"Listen, Serene-chan." She said with seriousness.

"Serene-chan?" I tilted my head.

"Everyone should take gambling seriously. Don't you think this world need gamble? You normally have to gamble yourself every point of your life. So, everyone should learn how to gamble. Gambling is the best." She said excitedly.

*BAM

"Gambling my foot. Because of this gambling, your life was in danger you know." I said in mad.

"Ouch.. That's hurts. You can't hit me like that. Gambling is...."

*Bam

Before she could finish, I punched her head again.

"You're bullying me?" She said with fake tears.

"Did you said something about gambling?" I asked with furious face.

"Nope. Never. Only a fool would like to gamble. Gamblers are as worse as a poop." She totally changed her speech by seeing me mad at her.

"Okay, we don't have time. Knights might be here any moment now." I said while taking Mao-chan in my arms.

"Yeah, we should leave soon. Let's go to a casino." She said.

"You never learns, huh?" I said in mad.

"Soorrry... It was an slip of tongue." She apologized.

"Okay, let's go." Saying that I went outside the room. Only Tara was there.

"Where did others go?" I asked.

"I told them to go to outside the city." Tara answered.

"You did the great job. So, you understand what am I going to do?" I asked.

"Yeah, I have known from the beginning. By the way, she is?" Tara said while pointing toward Alice.

"She is Alice. Alice this is my subordinate Tara." I introduced them.

"Nice to meet you, Tara-san." Alice greeted Tara cheerfully.

"Nice to meet you, Alice." Tara did the same.

"Are you perhaps, Serene's wife?" Alice asked.

"Wh-what are you saying, Alice?" I asked while blushing.

"No, I wouldn't dare to call myself as one. She is someone who is divine. I am just her follower." Tara replied.

Somehow, I am not happy with how she treat me. It's as if I am a material for her worship. I would have been happy if she said 'yes'.

Tara took Mao-chan from me. She was sleeping sweetly. So, I don't want her to woke up anytime soon.

"I would be better if she doesn't woke up soon." Tara said.

"Yeah, there's gonna be a brutal scene. I don't want her too see it." I said.

"Don't worry, she won't woke up within 12 hours." Alice said.

"What does that mean?" I asked.

"She was crying like crazy. So, I used my magic on her. She is under a sleeping spell." Alice said.

"Where is Riya?" I asked Tara. We are now running toward the city gate.

"She is the one who is going to lead everyone we saved earlier." Tara replied.

"Umm... What's going on?" Alice asked me.

"I am going to declare a war against the ruler of this country. They had killed Mao-chan's parents. They had to pay for that. I won't let any of these scumbag alive. I will definitely make their wives slut. They had to endure what they did with those innocent people." I said while being mad at them.

"I see. I understand. I don't like these people too. Okay, I will help you. I have a condition." Alice said.

"Condition?" I asked.

"I want to join your harem." She said happily.

"Wh-what do you mean?" I said while blushing.

"I fell for you the moment you saved me. So, let me be your wife." She said.

"Wa-wait, you don't know about me and I also don't know about you too." I objected.

"We can just get to know each other after that. Beside, I am pretty much attracted in you. So, I can't help but to take your wife position." She said seductively.

"Th-that's not the time for it. At least, let me think after the war." I said.

"I don't mind. But I am telling you that I won't let you go, my husband." She said with a beautiful smile.

Really, how did the situation turned out like this? She is a beautiful person by any means. But I just don't know she really loves me or not.
