Three Lives

Raul the guard

...Zanir's point of view...

"I understand about the situation, but... is he really needed?"

Arc is currently meeting with the kings of the other two kingdoms using communication crystals. It was an artifact that had video call-like abilities in my previous life.

"If what he says is true, it's a big deal and he'll probably be in need."

"But I heard he has a bad nature."

What are they talking about? It was because a monster named Nuebris appeared. It was a giant bird that had the same power as a dragon and it was said only Raul the guard could seal Nuebris and they planned to ask for his help but due to his poor nature they doubted.

"Look, we'll talk but if conditions don't allow then we can ask Zanir to do it."

Oi, Oi, Oi. I can indeed seal it but I don't want to do it because it's troublesome. Don't look at me like I can do anything, fucking Arc!

"Truely, he can do that."

"If it's like that, it doesn't matter."

After that the screen went off and the meeting was over. Ah, even though I just look at it but it's exhausting. I want to go to the brothel immediately and have some fun.

"Hey, Zanir. Help me take care of this, if you don't help then you're not allowed to go to the brothel."

"What?! Whyyy?! You are king!"

"It is precisely because I am king that I can rule you as I please."

"Curtain, your highness."

"Don't crackle and show your frustration."

I cannot refuse the king. To be honest I was the one who was supposed to be the king but to me my freedom would be restricted and it was such a bitch that I handed over the position of king to my half-brother, Arc.

I gained the position of being a royal magician and I was the one who had the second highest authority after the king. After executing my father, my brother and I changed the royal system even though some nobles rejected it. Fortunately I was able to convince the nobles who resisted the policy change.

"Where are you going? The job's not done yet."

"Capek ah, overtime work gk finished-finished. I want to play too, get bored here."

"At least find a girlfriend there don't keep playing with whores anyway."

"Likes dong. Other than him I don't want to."

"Stop that way!"

Arc broke down the table and got mad at me, until some guards and servants came. I know he's angry because he cares about me but I only love one person.

"I know you love him but look at reality!! He... no longer exists!"

"What do you know?! When I was a kid, I had to run away with my two sisters and my mother sacrificed herself in order for us to survive the dragons! Then I have to lose Chelsea in front of my eyes, do you know what it's like?!"

Everyone was silent and said nothing. It was a bitter memory I had once experienced. I don't mean to be mean but I don't like it when he forces me to look for a partner. For me, the only woman I married was Chelsea and nothing else.

"I'm sorry if I'm suddenly angry. But please don't force me."

"I understand. Sorry for not understanding how you feel."

"It's okay."

We eventually made up and embraced each other. It's not the first time we've fought but we've always made up after that.

...----------------...

A mansion is set up for a meeting with Raul the guard. It was also attended by several nobles as witnesses and there were three kings from the three great kingdoms such as Arc from the kingdom of Aquostria, Dominic of the kingdom of Terrarius and Dalbert of the kingdom of Vensard who proposed cooperation to seal Nuebris.

In this meeting also the king can only bring one guard as security. Zanir happens to be the one who went with Arc and then king Dominic with the strongest Valkrie in the work of Terrarius namely Louise and king Dalbert with the saint who is a saint and has an equal status with the Duke in the kingdom of Vensard, the,

"I just wanted to ask, did you two come alone?" Arc asked the other two kings.

"I'm with Louis." Dominic.

"I'm with Elena too." Dalbert.

The two looked next to them yet who should have been their guards together but now suddenly disappeared.

""Eh? Where'd he go?""

"Here you go, maybe they go to the toilet."

Raul came and greeted the three kings. After a long talk, Raul has not decided to help. While waiting for the three guards of the king, they gave time for Raul to decide immediately.

"Yes!!"

"What's going on?!"

The nobles were shocked and immediately saw the origin of the voice, the three kings stood up and saw what had really happened. There Raul was still sitting quietly on the sofa and there was a maidservant crying over the ashes on the floor.

"Mr Raul, what does this mean?" Arc asked in annoyance.

"Hm? I just asked the woman to play with me but the man's maid interfered so I burned her."

Arc and the other kings were furious. They could have punished him and become a political problem but right now they need his power to save the world.

"Sorry, my majesty, I'm late." Louise.

"King, I'm back." Elena said.

"Yes, Arc. I was too excited just now so I forgot the time.... huh? what's going on?"

Zanir, Louise and Elena came back out of nowhere. When they came, everything was in a state of silence but Zanir immediately realized what was happening. Zanir approached the female servant who was crying.

"You all right? A beautiful woman like you can't cry."

Zanir wiped his tears from his face. With a single drop of blood coming out of his finger fell on top of that ash.

"Heh, I don't know who you are. But that man is dead, whatever you do is useless."

Zanir ignored his words and the ashes began to form into a human, a fainted male servant.

"Hey Arc. Did he do this?"

"Yes, he did it."

"That's it."

Zanir stood up and stayed in front of Raul.

"Great as well as you. What if you become my subordinate?"

"You're Raul the guard, aren't you? Can I shake hands with you?"

"Oh, are you my fan? Of course."

The two shook hands but Zanir's grip grew stronger.

"ah! Pain, pain, pain. My hand!"

In an instant Raul's hand exploded shattered and blood soiled the floor.

"ah! My hand! What are you doing, asshole?!"

"How does it feel? Is delicious?"

The light shone from Zanir's eyes and his other hand was shattered, his legs exploding leaving his body and head alone.

"ah! I-i'm sorry! Uh!"

"I'm sorry? You think after killing a man your crime will be clean if you apologize?"

Zanir pinned his finger and his body back to how it was but the pain before was still felt.

"I heard you haven't decided to help, have you? Then I want to listen to your reasons."

Zanir began to sever Raul's fingers one by one like pulling a flower.
