Chapter 136: Sudden Decision

(Casimir Kismet)

"Hmm." I put my hand on my chin while staring at the beautiful specimen right in front of me.

I was inside of one of the workshops inside the territory of the Spriggan faction and currently checking on something.

And that something is the thing in front of me... a masterpiece!

The blacksmith wearing a thick leather uniform spread his arms while smiling at me. His goat-like ears flicked as he smiled at my reaction. "Lord Casimir, as of now, the only part that has already been done is the cuirass, but worry not because the other parts will be done soon."

His name is Glei. He and his team are one of the best if not the best blacksmiths in the town, Karoon recommended them to me so I know that they are commendable blacksmiths.

I nodded and raised my hand as I touched the cuirass in the steel armor stand in front of me. It's a very thick jet black armor as black as obsidian, the same color as my horns.

"This cuirass was made with the best metal we have. Extremely durable and its appearance was solely based on what you instructed us." Glei added. "Along with the other parts of this armor, this will be the greatest set of armor created in the town of Agrona."

I smiled. "You all have exceeded my expectations, Glei. I am looking forward to seeing what the full set looks like once it's done."

He bowed his head. "It is our utmost pleasure to be the ones who are assigned to create the set of armor our great ruler will use. By just seeing you wearing our creation will bring us incomparable happiness, we can't ask for more."

As I skimmed my hand on the smooth surface of the armor, my index finger bumped into something at the lower right chest of the armor. There were small letterings in it written in gold ink.

'Karasu Kishi'

Yep, they've actually put the phrase I requested them to. I know, right? Japanese is cool! A cool set of armor is not complete without a chuuni cringe name!

I can't wait to see the amazement on the faces of the people when they see it! It's gonna be phenomenal!

"Casimir."

He leaned back to the backrest and stared at me while slowly nodding. "Sometimes, your bizarre behaviors make me forget that you are the great ruler of this town. But now, you have made me realize it again."

Bizarre behaviors? What the fuck does that even mean?

He looked down. "I can't leave my brethren behind. I hate that place... most of the people living in that disdainful place... I despise them. But... my moth-... the queen and the king of the kingdom of Erela... I can't abandon them. If I have to die while fighting for their sake just to prove my love for them, I will. Without any hesitation." He looked up at me with his eyes filled with resolve. "The king and queen of the kingdom of Erela. They are my parents... and as their loving son, it is more than enough reason for me to go back home and fight on their side."

What! Excuse me, what! Are you telling me all this time you are a fucking Prince! And then, that means, the 2 princes who came here are your brothers! What!

I mean, Leal really does look like a prince, but what! We have a fucking royalty in the house! And not just a regular prince, people! A fucking elven Prince!

Okay, I have to calm down before it shows on my stupid face.

He slowly exhaled. "I'll be leaving in a few days. I know we have an agreement... forgive me, but I have to leave. I'm going alone, so please take care of everything I will leave behind..." His eyes expressed great sadness in them as he repeatedly swallowed his saliva as if something was blocking his throat and stopping him to talk. "Please, take care of Kuro for me... Casimir."

I leaned on the backrest of my seat and smiled at him. "Yeah? About that. I don't think I will."

He stared at me with confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Because I already have plans in mind and taking care of your excessively attractive girlfriend is not one of those." I put my index finger next to my right ear. "All the members of the council, we're going to have a meeting."

"What are you planning to do?" He asked with great disbelief in his eyes.

I can't let a friend of mine fight a losing battle on his own, can I?

I didn't say anything and just smiled at him.

You know, the usual thing I tend to do.

Something very stupid.
