Chapter 36
Emperor (3)
People stared in disbelief at this little girl, she wanted to be…Emperor?
Small sounds of laughter started to escape people’s mouths and Anonym looked at them sadly, “Switch, they don’t believe me!”
Switch wanted to laugh so hard to her words, he put his staff to the floor and ice went across the floor and iced up a few of the people that laughed.
“Awesome!” Anonym said, stars in her eyes, as she looked at the motionless figures, now totally enveloped in ice.
The General finally turned his eyes towards Switch, thinking that he was indeed the real problem, he said, “Young man, if you are willing to have a better life, you are welcome to come to our side or you are welcome to leave. Don’t you feel silly for following a little girl?”
Switch sneered at the General, but before he could say something, Anonym had jumped down and put her hand on his chest.
Walking towards the middle of the area in between them, Anonym looked at the General and smiled, “In a fight just between you and I, this little girl would kill you, General.”
Staring at Anonym in bafflement, the General had to hold himself back from laughing.
Anonym sighed again, “General…Say don’t you have a hero or something that you look up to!”
“My grandfather, also named General Clish, but was also heard to be the Duel Weaponist!” The General said, with great pride.
Anonym pondered over the name, she put her hand to her chin, practically uncaring to where she was at that particular moment. For a whole minute, she didn’t say anything, and the General didn’t know what to do. Did she want to still combat? What was she doing!?
People turned to look at each other, all of them having questions in their eyes.
“Duel Weaponist…Duel Weaponist…” Anonym mumbled, “General…Clish…”
Just as they had decided to try and take advantage of the moment, Anonym yelled with a happy voice, “I remember! Haha married to Janet, only two children and his father was a weapon smith. Yeah, he was cool. But I didn’t see him very much. General, how is your aunt?”
The General looked at her blankly.
“I hadn’t been in Murkcloud continent back then, but he had come to Glazechill continent twice. One time he took his eldest son, which I believe is your father, to marry someone from Glazechill continent and I was the soul priest. I remember! Switch…I remembered!” Anonym turned to Switch, looking really happy with herself.
Switch laughed and smiled at her, “You took your time!”
“Hey!” She said, folding her arms in front of her.
“You…You.” The General also remembered, his father really did go to Glazechill continent to marry his mother and had used a soul priest. And he really did have an aunt…She…knew her father? And grandfather? How could that be possible?
Anonym felt the silence and remembered the General, turning to him once again. “I was privileged, General. I really liked both your grandfather and father. Good men, good men. I don’t want to kill you, we can just spar instead.”
The General was still a bit flabbergasted with what she had just said and didn’t respond straight away.
“You don’t want to?” She asked, a little bit upset. She knew he’d be strong, that’s why she had gotten off the dragon. She obviously wanted to fight him!
Looking at the little girl again, he didn’t know how to treat her. She clearly respected him and honestly seemed to want to spar. What should he do? He felt himself start to like this little girl for an unknown reason…
“Are you a General of Murkcloud Continent?” Anonym asked, slyly.
“Yes. I am.” He automatically replied. If he wasn’t a General of Murkcloud continent, then what was he!?
“I am the Emperor of Murkcloud Continent, see I even wear the crown. And now, as Emperor, I want to spar with my General.” Anonym smiled innocently.
Unable to keep his smile hidden, the General sighed. This little girl has a way with words…
“Very well, I will spar with you.” He honestly wanted to know what it was that she could boast about anyway.
“General!” Prince Nathan yelled, “You are to kill this girl and her companions!”
Anonym looked at the people around them, in annoyance, then turned towards Switch, “Do you think you could make it just between us?”
Switch tapped the floor with his staff, making Presley invisible and teleporting to the General. Then he teleported both him and the General to Anonym, then again, tapped the floor and they disappeared.
