Chapter 86: Return (Part 1)

...

...

"Sir Rigen, did you just asleep?" - A very familiar voice called me, that voice...that was Shera's voice

I have waited so much for this day to come, I have lost Shera, Eris, Hatano and Reimi, I have gone through the strange world that has the world war but now I have finally returned.

"Sir Rigen, I want to...confess with you something...can you follow me to the place that only has two of us?" - That voice made me remember that Shera has told me somewhere

But at the time I opened my eyes, I saw Shera, she was now standing in front of me so I was so happy to know, my wife was still alive so I immediately hugged her in my hands, my wife has finally alive again.

"Shera! Shera! I'm so happy!" - I was now crying while holding Shera

"Ah...Sir Rigen, you are holding me!" - Seemed like Shera has a bit red on her face, maybe she was shy, I wondered where was my daughter - Eris? She may now be around here

"Sir Rigen! What are you doing!" - Ah, Reimi! That was Reimi's voice! For some reason, she pulled me out from holding Shera and shoved me to the ground and then stopped as if she realized she has shoved me strong, maybe she was jealous

"Sir Rigen! Why did you hug Her Highness? Do you know many people here are joining the ceremony! Even His Majesty is here, you are impuring Her Highness!" - Huh? What did she say?

"Commander, what were you doing? Why did you suddenly hug the Princess?" - That was Sarah's voice, she held her M4 and ran toward me and crouched on the ground, she checked on me to make sure if I was wounded while falling

"..." - That silent sound! That was Hatano! She was now looking at me with her scornful eyes while behind Sarah, I wondered why did all of my girls react so strange when I returned

"Tutor John! Do you know you have done a very guilty thing to my daughter! Why did you dare to touch her in front of my people and my guards!" - That voice...that was the King? How!

I looked around to investigate what was wrong with the place I have come, those were...people that were gathering very dense around each other! They were now staring at me, some of them even scolded their eyes at me, Hatano and Sarah very heavily.

I also looked around for more, many people that stood near the King, they wore different high-cost fabric clothes with different emblems on their shoulders. I was very confused, did the place look very similar to somewhere I have come before? 

I looked around for more and then I saw...those were the mages in white clothes that held magic staffs that were standing in a circle in a white circle line that was placed on the ground. 

Wasn't this the ceremony to summon the hero? As I could remember this was the minutes before the explosion came out? Goddess Katia has sent me back here!

That meant...my child, Eris would not be born, my love with Shera hasn't been made yet...ahhhh!

"Guards! Immediately arrest this man and kill him immediately! He has impured my daughter by touching her! A powerless that touched my daughter! Cannot forgive him!" - The King suddenly ordered the guards around him to kill me

No! I can't die here! I just have returned to my wife and my lovers so I cannot leave them here! Must do something to help me stay alive!

"Ah! Commander!" - I immediately snatched the M4 from Sarah when she didn't notice

"Sir Rigen, you must stop now or I will hurt you!" - Reimi has finally drawn her sword out and was about to attack me, do I have to kill my lover here? No! I don't want to!

"Reimi! Do not hurt Sir Rigen! Arrest him but do not kill him!" - Shera suddenly grabbed Reimi and ordered her to arrest me

"But my Highness, killing Sir Rigen is His Majesty's order, I cannot disobey my liege!"

"Am I your master or my father your master?"

"Of course, you are my master, my Highness!"

"Then capture Sir Rigen, do not let him wounded!"

"Sir Rigen! Don't!" - Shera yelled to me when I used the rifle butt to hit Reimi's head, I would make her unconscious for her safety when she was always using her hands more than her brain

Reimi seemed very tough because I hit her head with the rifle butt but she didn't unconscious but still stood still and looked at me with very untrustful eyes.

"Sir Rigen...why?"

"I'm sorry but you must keep out of this, Reimi!"

"Sir Rigen, behind you!" - Shera yelled to me

"Commander! Behind you!" - Sarah also yelled to me

Then I looked behind, a Warsaw guard armed with iron armor and was holding a longsword, he raised the sword to the sky and was about to swing it down from behind to kill me.

"Bang! Bang!" - I shot the M4 to that guard's chest and he managed to stand still in pain after getting shot so I shot him again so he immediately fell to the ground with blood spurting out from his armor's chest part

I looked around for more and saw three more Warsaw guards charging toward me from far away with their long spears so I shot those guards all, all three guards fell to the ground after taking three gunshots.

After shooting three Warsaw guards, I pointed the M4 at the mages that were standing in the circle and was intending to kill all of them to stop the ceremony. 

I also noticed that the people around have now aware of the gunshots, maybe the shots were so loud that they were all covering their ears, some even ran away.

If I kill all the mages to stop the ceremony, there won't be any explosion, I must do it now. The mages were now crouching on the white circle line while scared, I could make sure to kill all of them if I stay focused.

"Commander! Stop!" - Suddenly Sarah grabbed me from behind and was about to pull me down but I hit her with my elbows so she let her hands out of me

"Sarah!" - Hatano immediately grabbed Sarah, maybe if she didn't do that when I hit her sister, Sarah would have fell 

"Kill him! Kill him!" - The King kept shouting to the guards to kill me

"Raarghh!" - A roar from behind, I looked back and saw a Warsaw guard was charging his longsword toward me so I rolled to dodge

"Bang! Bang!" - I shot two more rounds and that guard died

"Protect His Majesty!" - Ten more Warsaw guards in iron armors came but they didn't attack me but formed a line with their round shields to protect the King and Shera

"Kill John Rigen! I do not need you guards to protect me!" - The King kept shouting to order the guard to kill me

"Kill him now!" - After hearing what the King said, 10 Warsaw guards formed a shield line and slowly stepped toward me

"Kill that man!" - Hoster's voice, he shouted from behind, I looked back and noticed dozens of Warsaw guards were forming their shield lines and were about to head toward me slowly

Dammit! I have already changed the M4 into automatic mode, if I shoot the guards then there will be stray bullets, Shera, Reimi, Hatano and Sarah would be hit so I must warn them.

"Everyone lies down on the ground now! Shera! Hatano! ReimI! Sarah! Get down on the ground now!"

"My Highness, what should we do?" - Reimi asked Shera in confusion

"We must hear Sir Rigen, Reimi! That magic tool will be very dangerous so he warned us for safety!" - Shera talked to Reimi and suddenly pulled her father on the ground with her

"Arrgh! Gunshots!" - I immediately pulled the trigger of the M4 and shot all the Warsaw guards that were around me in rage

"Raagrrrhh!" - At the time I found out, the M4 has finally run out of ammo, the people that joined the ceremony and even the representatives from other Kingdoms were lying on the ground in scare or running away

I looked around and saw some Warsaw guards lying on the ground and covering their ears in scare, even Prince Hoster, around me were dozens of corpses of guards that blood drained out everywhere.

Shera was now lying on the ground with her father and Reimi, Hatano was covering Sarah while lying on the ground to avoid the stray bullets.

I saw that the mages were now still crouching on the circle line and they were still scared, maybe I should kill them now to make sure...no! There would be another way to settle this in safety, I should not.

"Sir Rigen, I'm sorry!" - Reimi suddenly stood up and then raised her hand at me, a strong wind come out and shook me to the ground

I immediately dropped the M4 and grabbed a longsword on the ground and then stood up after being shaken down on the ground by Reimi, some Warsaw guards have finally stood up and were about to attack me.

"Arrgh!" - I immediately sliced a guard's throat that was standing up and he died with his neck spurting out the blood

I noticed that my speed while swinging the sword has reduced, this body was my 25 years old body, very different from the body when I was 31 years old when I had lived with Shera and Eris. 

I have trained to swing Rivia's sword many times and used the sword many times so my body could flexible enough to swing the sword fast.

But this body was just an overdue muscular, my muscles were still hard on combination moves so it didn't adapt to my previous body though my sword skill has improved very much from 10 years ago.

"Yarrh!" - Two Warsaw guards charged at me with their swords but I swung my sword to collide with their swords and moved away from their attacks

The survived Warsaw Royal Guards from my gunshots earlier were now trying to surround me, I felt my body a bit exhausted after moving fast suddenly for a few minutes of shooting. 

My adrenaline has gone down and I could hear my heart pounding quite fast after running and shooting, I should not give up now, must do something!

Suddenly I have been shaken to the ground by a strong wind, I looked in the direction and noticed that was...Hatano! She used wind magic on me to push me down!

"Who did that!" - Reimi was confused and looked around, only I was the only one who know Hatano could use magic because her mom was a human who come from this strange fantasy world named Euro Grant

"Kill him!" - The King shouted loud to the Warsaw guards

"Guards! Do not kill Sir Rigen!" - Shera suddenly ran toward me

Suddenly when I was lying on the ground, my head has been pointed at by the spears and the swords that were held by Warsaw Royal Guards, they were now having no hesitation to kill me but they stopped.

"Daughter, why did you protect that powerless man? He even touched you, he even killed our guards, he deserves to die." - The King has calmed down his voice but he protested Shera to let me live

"Father, there must be some misunderstanding here, Sir Rigen seemed to be very happy for some reason so he hugged, to me that was alright when I and him have known each other for a long time."

"But father, the way you sent the guards here to attack him made him stay guard, that why he has to act like that to protect his life, that was not his fault, father." - Shera was trying to protect me

"My daughter, did you mean that was my fault?" - Seemed like the King has a bit mad but he tried to keep calm

"No, my father! You and Sir Rigen don't have any fault, you two must have misunderstood so this incident has happened." - Maybe Shera was very confused, she didn't know how to deal with this

"Your Majesty, that was just a misunderstanding, I don't have any hostile against you, I hugged Shera because I have misunderstood." - I was trying to get up but the Warsaw guards kept pointing their weapons at me

"So, Tutor John! This Majesty is still not forgiven you for what you have done to my daughter, you even dare to call her by her name." - Dammit! I was used to calling Shera by name when I had lived with her and Eris for 6 years 

"Touching my daughter who is just matured recently and hasn't married and she is even a Princess of this Kingdom is worth getting the death sentence, you even attacked my guards."

"But Your Majesty!" 

"Stay down, Sir Rigen! For your safety." - Shera told me to lay down because the guards were still pointing their weapons at me

"Uhh! Uhhh!" - Sarah was now trying to speak but Hatano has shut Sarah's mouth off, maybe Hatano wanted to keep silent to not be involved with me

"So Tutor John! Why did you touch my daughter? You said that was just a misunderstanding so tell me and I will consider deciding you will live or die." - Maybe...no! I should not answer the King honestly, must lie to him!

"Your Majesty, I touched Shera, I mean Princess because I was so happy to...to..." - What should I say? What should I say to lie to the King?

"Your Majesty, I mean I touched Sh-"

"No more talk, no more excuses, your face has shown to me that you have a dirty mind, you want to do dirty things on my daughter, your sin cannot be forgiven."

"You even broke the ceremony and made this Kingdom lose its face to its people and the representatives of the other Kingdoms, you made the ceremony has to delay."

"But Your Majesty, please hold off the ceremony forever! Do not hold the ceremony anymore!"

"You are not only rude but also dare to order a Monarch of a Kingdom to do what you say!" 

"You are just a noble from a strange place and powerless but dare to touch my daughter, your sin has been decided, you will die here."

"Your Majesty, the hero has been summoned! I don't know where is that person but if you keep the ceremony on then this Kingdom will vanish by the explosion caused by the leaking magic."

"What! How did you know the hero has been summoned! And how did you know so much about the history of the accidents of this ceremony when you are just a strange man who comes from this place!"

"I can't tell you how did I know but please hold off the ceremony, Your Majesty!"

"Father, I think you should follow Sir Rigen's suggestion." - Shera chose to side with me

"Reimi, you should follow me too." - Suddenly Shera told Reimi to follow her when that girl was confused

"Yes, my Highness! Your Majesty, this servant will obey Her Highness, I'm very sorry to disobey your order though you are her father." - Reimi has been forced to side with Shera, she didn't hate Shera but seemed a bit guilty when disobeying her ruler

"I don't follow your idea but I will hold off the ceremony for you to please, my daughter! But John Rigen's sin cannot be forgiven." 

"As a Monarch, I must protect my daughter's virginity and her pureness, I will execute him here." - The King drew his sword out from its scabbard slowly, he wanted to kill me!

"No, father! Please forgive Sir Rigen!" - Shera suddenly kneeled before her father and bowed toward him, she even grabbed his right leg very tight to beg for my forgiveness, I was in debt to my wife so much!

"What is wrong with you, my daughter! Why did you care about that man's life so much? He is just a strange noble who comes from a strange place, his life is important to you like that?"

"You even humbled before him, even forgot about your status as a Princess to kneel before me to ask me to forgive this strange man, what is wrong with you, my daughter?" - The King was also confused to deal with this situation

"Please, father! I will do anything to keep Sir Rigen alive, please forgive him." - Shera even cried while grabbing her father's leg to ask him to forgive me, I was an asshole to cheat on my wife, I should love my wife more from now on

"My daughter, get out!" - The King seemed very soft when he has to deal with his daughter

"Please, I will do anything, father!" - Shera even cried louder

Suddenly the King crouched down and patted Shera, he wanted to comfort her daughter, I later saw the King got close to Shera's ears as if he want to ask Shera something.

"My daughter, the man John Rigen is so important to you? Don't tell me you have feelings for him, I'm your father but I cannot deal with anything because of you." - The King whispered to Shera but I didn't know what they said

"No, father! I do not just have feelings for Sir Rigen but I also love him." - Shera also whispered to the King when she has calmed down, she didn't cry anymore but I could not hear what she said

"Ahh! No way!" - The King suddenly yelled and then stood up in shock, maybe he has heard something very impossible to believe from Shera

Suddenly the King slowly returned the sword to its scabbard and then stared at me for a few seconds, he sighed a long sigh and looked at Shera, he held his head for a few seconds.

"Immediately arrest John Rigen and his subordinates to the jail, I will decide their lives later, the ceremony will be held off from now on." - The King ordered his guards to arrest me, Hatano and Sarah

"Eh!" - Sarah has been released by Hatano and she was so surprised to hear the King's decision

"Sarah...follow our Commander...do not mess anything..." - Hatano immediately raised her hands out for the Warsaw guards to cuff her 

"But sis, we didn't do anything." - Sarah, just shut up and follow your older sister's order, you dumb!

"Sarah...hear our Commander..."

"Commander!" - Sarah called me

"Let them cuff, Sarah! We will be okay!" - I talked to Sarah when I was being lifted by the Warsaw guards, they have already cuffed my hands with ropes

"You psychotic powerless, dare to touch Her Highness!" - A guard hit my face with his elbow and another guard spat at me

"Ah, this woman looks very hot, I have never seen anyone has boobs big like this!" - A guard grabbed Sarah's ponytail hair and the other guard grabbed her boobs, they were now licking Sarah's face

"Yaarrgh!" - Suddenly Hatano charged into two guards who touched Sarah's body, she made a guard fall to the ground also bit another guard's neck then pulled her mouth out with blood spurting around on his neck

"Ah! You whore!" - A guard was about to draw his sword

"Stop! Anyone who dares to hurt Sir Rigen and his subordinates will get the death sentence!" - Shera shouted to the guards and Reimi was now holding her sword as if she was about to execute the guard that wanted to hurt me and my subordinates

"Ah, Your Highness! Please forgive us, our low people do not know to treat those people good, please let us have a chance." - 4 guards that hurt me and Sarah were now begging Shera to forgive them

"I won't, I will report to my father to decide your lives, I will protect Sir Rigen and his subordinates at all costs." - Shera talked to the guards and then went back to her father 

"Please!" - A guard grabbed Shera's leg and begged her to forgive him

"You rude!" - Reimi suddenly stabbed her sword to that guard's neck, killed him immediately, the other guards didn't dare to say a word but kept silent

"Ah!" - Shera was a bit disgusted and scared when her legs have got blood from the dead guard, she later got her legs out and then walked to the King

"I will decide their lives, my daughter! Don't worry, now I will let the other good guards lead John Rigen and his subordinates to go to the jail." - The King talked to Shera

"No, father! Please let me tell Reimi to do this thing."

"This Majesty allows you to decide, my daughter."

"Reimi, immediately lead Sir Rigen and his subordinates to the cleanest jail room."

"Yes, my Highness!" - Reimi bowed toward Shera and came toward me

"About the dangerous magic tools of John Rigen and his people, father! Please let me take them, I will keep them safe." - Hoster suddenly spoke to the King, he wanted to steal our guns that were now lying on the ground

"No, my brother! I will keep them, these things are the belongings of Sir Rigen and his subordinates, do not touch them." - Shera suddenly stepped toward our weapons to prevent Hoster from taking them

"Reimi, go now! I will deal with this." - Shera ordered Reimi to go

"Sir Rigen and your subordinates, please follow me." - Reimi slowly led us to go, we walked while our hands have been cuffed

"Hey, Reimi! I'm sorry for what I did to you earlier, please don't hate me."

"Sir Rigen, please don't talk until you and your subordinates get into the jail room, outside here is now very noisy." - Reimi talked to me while walking faster, her face showed a bit of hate for me

"Reimi, I'm sorry!"

"Please talk until we get into the jail room, Sir Rigen!" - Reimi said to me a bit loud

"Oh, I'm sorry! Please forgive me, please follow me Sir Rigen! Her Highness will deal with the problems with her brother, don't worry."

We slowly walked with Reimi for a long walk, after a few minutes of walking, we were now under a basement, in a dark and shabby hallway full of rooms, those were our jail rooms.
