Chapter 191 - 190 - Close To Awakening.

A day has passed since the armors attack. So things had calmed down a bit.

People with lighter injuries were already seeing the stains on their bodies disappear little by little just a little use of skin remedies and also with some rest.

And people with more serious injuries were feeling less pain after a few hours. Of course, it still hurt. But what shook them most was the appearance of their bodies.

Their faces were stained, their arms, their legs. They looked hideous and didn't know if they would return to normal in the future, causing a great wave of depression among people.

People dissatisfied with their appearance locked themselves inside their homes and didn't want to show their faces to people.

We can call them people with low self-esteem.

They didn't feel well before, and now they were feeling even worse, causing a major psychological crisis.

Luckily, most of these people still had their family members alive by their side, they received a lot of support.

But of course, not everyone. There were people who were alone who needed the help of others.

But now that the capital had been so damaged, few people had time to worry about helping people who weren't their friends or family.

As only one day had passed, many bodies were still lying on the streets, as help had not yet reached the capital. The only people who helped were some people with minor injuries who volunteered to collect the bodies.

But there were a lot of people dead, if they counted, more than 20,000 bodies were by the capital. No wonder the stench of bodies took over the entire ambient, it was horrible.

And the rainwater that mixed with people's blood and also passed through the decomposing bodies, created many puddles of dirty water that stank like an open sewer.

And of course, with water penetrating the land, in a few days, the capital's water supply would be interrupted as the water would probably be contaminated by the bodies.

And how would that happen? It was simple.

Even though the street was made of concrete, it had some holes called "culverts" that were used to get rid of rainwater. But as it had rained a lot, and body parts were in the streets, the culverts were clogged, thus creating large lakes of dirty water throughout the city.

How were they clogged? Well, every manhole was connected to a pipe created with iron that led to a small lake not far from the capital. Yeah, it looked like a contaminated lake or something.

And with the body parts and also other things that were washed away by the rain, the pipes had been clogged up, thus creating the current situation.

As the inside of the manhole was made entirely of earth, the contaminated water that became trapped inside began to enter the earth, and thus began to approach the drinking water channel that was below the capital.

And so we got to the current situation where some people started to somehow try to unclog the manholes. But it wasn't easy.

In Beastled's realm, the king sat on the throne while enjoying a piece of red meat served by one of the maids.

"Shit, they said they wouldn't belong." He said as he bit down on another piece of meat.

A later he washed his hands in a small basin raised by the maid. Then he grabbed a towel and dried his hands.

"I'm bored..." He said as he rose from the throne. He walked past the maid, leaving the girl a little scared.

The king noticed this and smiled at the girl, making the girl's whole body tremble as she walked away from a little.

"I could have fun with you." The king approached the maid and then grabbed the girl's tail, which was stiff with fear. The maid had a cat's tail and also fluffy ears on top of her head.

She wore a black and white maid's uniform, very common among the nobility around the world.

The girl had short black hair and yellowish eyes with retinas that resembled a cat retina (Well, she's a catgirl so makes sense.)

The king who held her tail noticed that the woman was scared, so he smiled even more at her and stroked her tail even more. The woman closed her eyes and backed up a little, she was wanting to start running.

But luckily for the woman, the king had lost interest as soon as he noticed she was so scared that she didn't even open her eyes.

"No, you're not good enough." He said as he released her and walked out of the room.

Seeing this, the woman sighed in relief as her heart calmed.

'I thought I will be raped by a child.' She thought as her body shook and she felt disgusted.

The guards inside the room who noticed the woman's relief were also relieved. They wouldn't want to see a girl like her get raped, so they were relieved that the king had given up on the idea.

This is pretty weird since soldiers like them don't mind raping a woman in the middle of a war.

People's thoughts are distorted in whatever world they are in, aren't they?

In the village, Noah was still sleeping, but he was already quite stable.

When it came to the day after he had been healed, Emma had been quite worried, but after Noah's body was examined by Tomhe, the boy was sure that Noah was okay.

"He's just recovering now, give him a few more days and he'll wake up." That's what he said to Emma.

Emma can do nothing but accept. She and everyone there had to accept that fact.

Lisandra and Lari were already acting more normally and were much calmer than before, but even so, they didn't want to leave Noah's side and stayed by his side all the time.

They slept there, ate there, and only left to go to the bathroom or shower.

And another person who stayed in the room most of the day was Ciaphia.

She arrives in the morning and didn't come back to her house until dinnertime. Lisandra seemed very happy about it as she wanted to support her friend in her relationship with Noah.

'Isn't that weird?' she thought. But soon after, he concluded that it wasn't strange to want a friend's happiness, even if she was looking to enter into a relationship with her younger brother.

If she likes him so much and her brother falls in love with her too, why would Lisandra get involved?

After a while, she had fully accepted that fact, so she started rooting for Ciaphia.

Lisandra then talked to Ciaphia about it, and Ciaphia seemed very happy with Lisandra's support. But of course, she did this away from Lari, as the woman would be pissed off if she heard that Lisandra is supporting someone else and not her.

But anyway Lari already seemed to have figured it out. But even so, the woman was unfazed. She was very fond of Noah and willing to do anything to be with him.

She wanted to make Noah fall in love with her to the point where he never wanted to leave her again.

'I'm going to make him mine,' she said in her mind to herself.

Two days passed, it was already night and the rain had started to fall again. For many days the rain has been falling steadily, making the lives of the people in the village a little difficult, especially the lives of the people who worked in the garden.

As it was raining heavily, it did more harm than good.

But Emma, ​​who was very anxious to see her son wake up, didn't mind that and let Lucio take care of any problems that came up. He didn't look very happy, but he had to accept that fact.

"I want to stay here, he could wake up at any time." Lucio protested after Emma sent him to the garden again to help.

"Go there quickly, if you don't help we're going to lose the harvest."

"Haaa~~ Why can't you go?"

"Because I'm his mother!"

"And I'm his father!"

The two looked at each other as if they were rivals. Ciaphia, Lisandra, and Lari who were in the bedroom looked at them as they smiled. Lucio and Emma looked like two children.

"Can you stop this? You guys look like two children." Lisandra said after getting up. Seeing this Lucio was surprised because his daughter was so quiet before.

He hadn't seen Lisandra act like this a single time in the past few days although Noah is doing better.

"You better go to the garden, Dad. If Noah wakes up I'll call you right away, okay?" Lisandra smiled, making Lucio feel very happy.

"Right. Just because you said!" He said as he looked at Emma.

Emma looked at him and gave him a mocking smile.
