The Ruler of the Two Continents
CHAPTER 79 - A GIFT TO THE GENERAL

Razel widened his eyes, his heart pounding irregularly.

His body seemed stiff, not because of the cold air that creeped in that night, his lips were speechless, wanting him to dodge but there was fear that flushed all over his body.

‘ Sir...’ his murmur is only brave in his heart.

Slowly the man's face approached the beautiful girl's face.

Now the general's finger gripped Razel's chin and pulled him slightly up until the girl's face lifted.

Slowly and closer…

As their lips drew closer, Razel was stunned and quickly dodged.

The girl quickly stepped away from the General while looking down in embarrassment. The girl ran quickly without saying a word.

The general lowered his shoulders, his head lowered and was still silent in his position. The man rubbed his face hard, and scooped his hair back.

Undelivered desire….

“ Huuuh ‘grunts slowly.

‘ What I have done..’ murmured as if regretting his error.

At once he saw two weapons belonging to Razel that were still stuck in the trunk of a large tree. The general stepped closer to him, then retracted it. He turned back the weapon he had just seen.

Tomorrow morning it was still cold. Because the winter wind has been felt…

In front of the barn, the general is seen meeting Razel on the door lip and giving him two kunai.

“ It's yours, um, sorry for the last night “ without waiting for words from Razel, The dashing man passed by with a flick of his robe leaving Razel still clutching his kunai while looking at the General from behind.

It turned out that the scene was seen by Merlin who was in the medicine room, from the crack of the slightly open wooden door.

Her brows furrowed, but this time, she was not at all jealous of Razel or angry with her husband, instead she blamed herself for neglecting to serve her husband and being too busy with her affairs.

‘ Sir..’ muttered Merlin softly in his heart.

In the medicine room, Merlin was still sitting concocting some herbs to store in a glass jar.

“ Mistress?.can I come in? “ the voice of a girl made Merlin turn his head instantly.

Merlin was silent for a moment, it turned out that the girl he had seen with her husband was now in front of him.

“ Well, enter Razel “ said Merlin to welcome as if forgetting what he had seen.

“ Madam, the little Alps are asleep, my next job is to the city center. Yesterday you told me to buy spices, but what kind of a mistress?“ ask Razel politely.

” you don't need to go downtown today. Sit down Razel “ said Merlin while thrusting a chair next to Merlin.

With an astonished face mixed with curiosity, Razel pulled the chair and sat down beside Merlin.

“ What's wrong, madam? “ seriously tanyanya.

“ Razel, I know your abilities are amazing. It's a pity that your work only helps my day job. I want to gift my husband, and that gift is you Razel.”.

His words made Razel flinch, his heart seemed to stop beating.

“ Ha? A bounty? Mean nyoya? “ Razel eyes are perfectly rounded, his face implies a big question mark.

“ I will give you to Mr. Luzen as a gift. And you will be his servant, follow wherever he goes, be a loyal servant to him“ Merlin tries to open a smile but there is a hidden feeling emanating.

“ No Razel, instead you are very special, it is a pity that if you only work in the fort doing daily work, aunts are enough to help me do daily work “

“ But mistress.” Razel face weld.

“ Please Razel, help serve him in every way.I love my husband.I want to give him a special gift ”

Razel could say nothing more. He drowned. Didn't think she would serve her husband, who met last night near the forest, whom she had admired all along.

Actually Razel did not want to be a servant of the General, instead he liked the man since he first saw him in the slave market. But he did not want to damage the relationship of Merlin and the General who had helped him, so Razel always avoided the General, but the General who tried to approach him.

If Razel becomes the General's servant means that he will often meet with the General, that is also what Razel wants to avoid.

“ Razel?.what are you thinking? “ asks Merlin to make Razel's daydreams.

“ Ah, it's okay madam.”

“ Are you ready Razel? “ Merlin make sure again.

“ Well, fine if it is indeed the decision of mistress “, she replied resignedly.

“ Thanks, you are indeed a very awesome girl “ Merlin's smile poked across her face.

Night sagging, cold and humid, the wind seeps cold makes residents lazy to be outside the house.

In Merlin's room, the beautiful woman was sitting in front of the middle mirror combing her silky silver hair. She dresses thin and looks beautiful.

The sound of the door opening, the General came in while opening his robe. He looked at his wife who was sitting in front of the mirror, unlike yesterday, who was asleep in his bed.

“ you haven't slept? “ asks the General while hanging his robe.

“ I'm waiting for you “ replied Merlin gently.

“ Really? “ the smile on the corner of the General's lips slightly implies doubt.

“ Yes. Sir, forgive me all this time, forsake my duty in bed, would you forgive me? “ ask Merlin.

“ Hm, it's Merlin, you don't have to apologize. I know your busyness. Thank you for taking care of my children “ said the General who started boarding the bed.

She approached her husband, a woman who blew an axis of an oil lamp on the edge of her desk, until the room became a little dim.

“ Are you ready, my husband.” Merlin's voice is slow and a little spoiled.

The general saw his beautiful wife who was already nearby.

And the night is rising,.cold.

Three days before the war.

The troops from the Black Continent were already a week ago. They stayed in the barracks while inside the fort. All the war equipment is ready.

The general came out of the hall accompanied by several high-ranking officers in the fort, including Gardden. But they parted at the door of the hall.

Leon who was assigned as Battalion Commander was busy preparing flags for his group.

Gardden met his wife who was in the barn.

The general held a map of the Nerogon kingdom territory and walked towards the armory. But suddenly the sound of a call from behind made him stop his steps.

“ General!..The general!…,the lady Merlin fell in the garden and was taken to the check room“ a soldier reported with a slight huffing due to running.
