“Pure bullying!” The commander came off the wall and cursed as he approached the pair of us. “The demons have truly gone too far this time!”
He didn’t not notice how close we were holding each other, but other than a twitch, he didn’t say anything and pretended to notice nothing.
“What about the other skele- I mean, humans?”
The man who gave me his Karma, Drakus, seemed to be aware he was a skeleton, but everyone else in this undead fort seemed to be acting like they were humans, so I wasn’t sure if I should call them humans or skeletons. I decided it was best to just keep calling them humans. It made it easier to remember what side I was on.
“Reinforcements?” He asked. “Regrettably, I didn’t anticipate such a swift retaliation. You had barely walked through the door when they did this attack. They must have sent their men immediately after. You had to realize they were on your heels the entire time, right?”
“Ah… actually… we returned a different way…” I scratched my neck. “Wait! That’s right! That gives me an idea!”
The commander cocked his head. “You have a plan to help us get reinforcements?”
“Better! Oh… but, I need to check a map of our fort first.” I responded, hoping he didn’t find it too suspicious.
“You were the man who saved our princess…” He responded after a moment of silence. “Get me a map!”
Once he gave me the map, I opened it up and copied the contents to my Map. Then, I put it on a table and started talking.
“Okay… here’s what we are going to do…”
After finishing my plan, the commander had a slight grin on his face. “If you can do that, then this will be a huge blow to them. You’ll get a promotion after this!”
Didn’t he already offer me a promotion? Well, anyway, I sent him on his way excitedly, and then I left with Carmine still holding on to me. This trip didn’t have anything to do with the mission, but I made it sound like it did. We were looking for a door that didn’t belong. It took about thirty minutes, but we still had plenty of time before the demons would launch their attack.
I found a door that didn’t appear to have a room on the Map. I pushed inside to find another safe room. I nodded my head. I had been almost certain that if the other fort had one, this had one as well. This had been what I was looking for when I stumbled on this fort in the first place. Shortly after entering the safe room, Carmine removed her grasp on my arm and took a step away.
“Apologies, Master…” She said, her head lowered, blushing.
“It’s fine…” I waved it away. “It’s kind of nice to see you express yourself in that way.”
“Wh-what are you saying?” She grew very flustered by my words.
I decided not to say anything in response. I had meant that she usually acted conceited and full of herself, and made unreasonable demands. Strangely enough, the princess seemed to be lower demand than the Paladin. If I said that, though, I’d need to push her out of the saferoom to keep her from making me pay for that comment.
