N♡vεlB¡n: Your Escape into Infinite Tales.

?The moment Mani walked out of the room, those that remained exchanged eye contact.

This was especially true for the commanders. All of them looked at Barbara with weird eyes. Their gaze saying what they really meant in their hearts. Then again, this could not be avoided. After all, none of them had ever disobeyed or gone against barbara like that.

That was a right that only her favorite, Mani, was capable of doing.

Chiron gave a light cough, "Excuse me a bit!" he walked out of the meeting room. Immediately following after Mani.

"Can't we do it without him?" one of the commanders asked, his tone a very condescending one.

Amongst all that attended this meeting, Chiron and Mani were the only ones that were at the copper rank. All others were in the bronze rank.

In fact, they were those that suggested that Barbara should not have taken Chiron and Mani has her followers and suggested even stronger soldiers for her, but she did not care about their opinion, doing as she liked. After all, she had her own plans.

She looked at the receding figure of Chiron as he walked out of the room and gave a side smile.

Then she turned to the commander that had spoken. With a fierce motion, she grabbed him by the neck and smashed his head on the center table, instantly, breaking the table and smashing his teeth with it.

This surprised all of them in attendance but no one said a word about this.

As the man's blood flowed from his mouth, she leaned in, "If you ever talk back to me, I'll ensure that you eat meat with a spear down your throat! do i make myself clear?"

"I am sure that they do have problems sometimes, but for some reason, they would always settle and meet back together again."

Mani raised a brow to him, "You are speaking in parables."

Chiron smiled as he continued, "In my home land, it is said that the tongue and teeth were born in the same mouth, and even have to work together to survive, but every so often, they do fight."

Mani was starting to get tempted to just smack Chiron in the head. However, he cautiously reframed from the act.

"You know, in many ways, I envy you Mani!"

"Me!?"

"Yes, you! It is true that you lost your beloved, but you still have people that love you. You have people of the same blood that cherish you."

As Chiron said this, Mani frowned at him, however, Chiron continued.

"Your father might have not been the best but he was willing to sacrifice his place and position as a chief's son, just to make sure you had a safe and stable life. I can only imagine how hard it was for him all those years, especially with the injury that continued to eat away at his cultivation. It really must not have been easy for him."

As Chiron said these words, Mani's face relaxed as he sank into thought.

Chiron continued, "there is also your mother! Now, I know you don't like her, but at least you have lost someone close to you before, so surely, you must know what it must have felt for her to bring a child into the world that was not breathing, and the pain of her sacrifice to tear runes born with her and give them to you.

I hear having runes on one's body is like another limb, and she was more than willing to tear it out for you.

Your mother and father sacrificed the possibility of a peaceful life on either sides just to see to your birth. They gave away their lives so you can live yours."Chiron leaned closer to him as he pointed to his chest, "This life that you live, that you are so proud of, is it yours!?"
