35. Chapter 35

The Paladin had his armor fixed on the way to the Kafra Agent and went to Prontera right after. On approaching his station, he paused, as the Captain of the Royal Guard approached him.

"Your mission was successful?" he asked. The Paladin studied his Captain's powerful, long frame. His black hair was clipped short so it appeared to be spiked over his brow. The longer bangs were drooping down over his forehead neatly. His intelligent black eyes watched him carefully. Also a Paladin, he was ranked at the top of every list in the Kingdom of Midgard as one of the most powerful fighters.

"Yes, Captain Lockheart. It was. The Vessel will be here tomorrow," the Paladin nodded. "That's what I was told."

"Good. Take the rest of the night off, Max. Oh, what was the Vessel like?"

"Sir," Max swallowed and looked away. "It would be best to see for yourself."

"Come now! A monster, as always?" the Captain grinned. "Ugly and hard to look at?"

"With all due respect, sir," Max said. "Oh, to hell with it! I'm going to be frank and talk out of line here! Garrett, she's human and the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life!"

"What?" Garrett asked. "Surely you don't mean that!"

"Sir, you know how I am with women. All those other girls that I showed you? Forget about them. This one is just...just...she's perfect! There isn't a single flaw on her! And, get this, she has FOUR husbands! All of them the most powerful monsters I have ever seen! And yet, they are also so...so human! It made no sense!"

"A perfect girl?" Garrett mused.

"Sir, one of her husbands is Doppelganger, and he was...well...advanced, somehow! He looked nothing like he should, but I knew it was him! He kicked my ass in two moves by breaking my armor, and then he ran me through with his sword like nothing!" Max hissed.

"WHAT?!" Garrett blinked with surprise. "Are you sure?!"

"Sir," Max sighed. "have I ever lied to you in all of my years of service to you? Or all the times we hung out as kids together?"

That made Garrett blink and frown. A deep breath was taken, and he dismissed the man. Moving to look up at the night sky, his eyes narrowed. I'll have to see this perfect girl and her husbands for myself to be the judge of that.
