While they stuffed their faces with fruits, Lord could smell them and suddenly saliva gathered in his mouth. He loudly swallowed and was about to turn as a small hand holding plate with fruits appeared in front of his nose.
''Delicious, sweet, tasty fruits. Mhmmmm. The insides are filled with red meat filled with tasty juice that is so amazing that I want to gnaw even on leaves after eating them. Young Lord, I know you don't eat food normally, but I think this could help you and your friends soon. Eat some, eat eat...''
The fruit plate was directly under his nose and he could feel deliciousness out them. He stunned opened his eyes. ''How is this even possible? How can I FEEL the taste?''
''Secret. Don't ask. Just eat a few. '' Isaa stuffed the plate in his hands and turned around to continue eating inside the carriage.
The plate was not big and just five strawberries of plum size were on. He first smelled them, enjoying it. Then he took one of the strawberries, slowly bit inside and suddenly everything became messy.
He didn't have even to enjoy the strawberries, those friends of his already digested it. He wanted really to cry. This is the first time in so long time that he wanted to eat, but as it seems they are hungry as well. He sighed and one after another strawberry ended up being swallowed by the creatures.
But when he was about to give up the last one, they felt sorry for him and let him completely have it. So this time he slowly bit piece of the fruit and amazing taste swept all over his body. Taste that could be felt? How amazing. The juice slowly entered his body and suddenly he could feel new vitality running through his body.
He looked with sadness at bitten fruit in his hand and sighed.
Kendra looked at him through the window and saw his expression. ''Don't tell me you don't like it? You would be then first.''
He smiled weakly and shook his head. ''I wish to preserve this and give a bit to my wife and children so they can enjoy it, but it's impossible. Isn't it?''
Isaa opened the window a bit more and whispered. ''Don't worry. If everything goes fast we will go back to the city and you can give them. We still have lots of it left. We will put some of it for you aside so you can enjoy it with your family. Is that fine? Now eat that one and recharge your body.''
He looked at her with big eyes and then at the fruit in his hand. Suddenly he smiled brightly as he slowly enjoyed every bit of it. He even unceremoniously licked his fingers in content. The three of them saw his expression and started to laugh. Kendra picked more of fruits and stuffed in his plate as they traveled.
They in the carriage, he on the horse. Leisurely, like they are going for a trip and not in war. Enjoying the scenery, drinking and eating in content. Who said life has to be hard. Enjoying life, indeed enjoying it.
Suddenly loud noise resounded around them. The horses started getting nervous at first but suddenly they became calm again. Kendra, Isaa, Cian and the young Lord stopped and looked at the illusion that started crumbling down like a sand mountain.
They calmly went out of the carriage and waited until they could see their surroundings. But as it seems it will take time. It started disintegrating already for a while but only now they could hear noise from outside as the top of the illusion started falling apart.
Some of the people that were inside the illusion started acting up and cheering while others just stood ramrod still with their weapons in arms and waited their chance. Kendra looked at those and with a wave of her hand put protection shield on each one of those that were on the Lord's side.
He looked at her again and shook his head. ''I am glad that you never really hated me. This life I am grateful for meeting you. Later, I, my wife and our children will take you as our ancestor and pray to you. Thank you, Kendra.''
''No need going so far. It is enough that you thanked me, talking about praying to me... You have to understand one main fact, I am not a saint. I am so small but have already blood on my hands. No, find some other person and consider him a deity, No need for me, it is bothersome. ''
Kendra found it annoying. ''Seriously, I just want to live a simple life. Please, let me be. Just live a good life and enjoy being a father. Be a good parent. Yes, that is my wish and you have to make it come true. Be a good parent. Live a good and happy life with your family. Do you understand?''
He was stunned for a moment and then started laughing out loud. ''I really made a good choice, I really do. Let's win this and I promise I will the best father ever. hahahhahahaha. Let's win this. Quick.''
Kendra looked at him with big eyes. ''Do you want to fight them or do you want a quick win. Do not forget, among those are as well normal people that was just pushed by them to fight. If it is possible do not harm them. Or do you just wish to fight?''
''Why would I want slaughter, death, blood? If there is a way to end this war quickly I am willing to help out. Just tell me how?'' He hit his chest with a fist to prove his decision.
Isaa stood next to him and two small dimples appeared on her face. ''Young Lord, it is easy to finish this fast. If brother asks with such confidence, that means its done deal. Whatever is on the other side of this illusion means nothing actually. I am completely sure he can win. So the question was not about the war itself, then the war in your heart. Do you still want to see bloodshed?''
He looked at the two children and thought about it. Even if he had grudges in his heart and wanted death for those people, but he was tired. It is enough of death. Now he just want to be happy. He looked at Kendra with a big smile and just waved his hand. '' I do have some rage in me and have the wish to kill those. But the truth to be told, I would be more grateful not to shed even one drop of blood. Is it even possible?''
Cian patted his back with his big hands. ''She doesn't need to even say it. She already assured you the moment she popped the question. Didn't you realize?''
He breathed deeply and laughed again. ''Fine, fine. May I just ask one thing?''
Kendra looked at him curiously. ''What thing?''
''I want few more strawberries, I am hungry again. Can you give me some?'' Since from before, h knew one thing. He became glutton. As it seems later on his poor wife will kill him as he will turn into a fat person. But if he works hard maybe such a thing won't happen. Never mind.
Kendra shook her head and took out her ring whole bucket of strawberries and gave it to him. ''Enough this much?''
He looked at her with shiny eyes and almost chocked on his own saliva. He crossed his legs, putting the bucket in mid and slowly enjoying one piece after another.
The fight can start, but he just sat there and leisurely enjoyed it. The best time is when you look at it and don't do a thing. How nice...
