Transmigrate to another world

Chapter 162 The rebels [ 7 ]

Mercy says "We are not threatening you, Alexa just doesn't know how to speak properly!"

Alexa looks ashamed and bows to Mercy and then apologizes to me. It seems Alexis is a lot like Alannis after all, but that makes sense since they are sisters. Although Alannis seems to be the more mature of the two, maybe because of her experiences.

Zamart says "Considering the gift you gave me, you don't need to worry. I would never allow them to attack you."

Mercy says "What?! What gift did he give you that would turn you against me?!"

Zamart says "Mercy, I would never turn against you! I mean I will prevent things from coming to conflict between you."

Mercy says "Oh, but still what gift could be so precious?"

Zamart says "He gave me five books from the ancient empire, and a primer to learn the language."

Mercy says "Ah, that is indeed priceless!"

Zamart says "He also gave me the robe of the ancient empire's archmage. If we are talking about monetary value it is worth more than the kingdom."

Mery, Alexa, and Ricken say "What?!?"

"It was just something I picked up along the way, not that big of a deal."

Zamart says "Maybe not to you, but to me it is an amazing thing."

Mercy says "Then why aren't you wearing it?"

Zamart says "To be honest I don't feel I am worthy of it."

Alexa says "That is ridiculous! You are the greatest mage in the nation!"

Mercy says "Worthy or not, it was given to you. If you don't wear it isn't that insulting Klein?"

Ricken says "I know it is not my place to speak, but Lord Zamart wouldn't the rebellion have already fallen without you?"

"You seem to be outnumbered, old man, you should probably surrender."

Once again after everyone is seated we eat dinner before discussing anything about the war. Alexa, Zamart, and Ricken look the same as yesterday, but Mercy seems different. She seems more relaxed, and she is wearing a dress, in fact she looks quite beautiful.

"Mercy, you look lovely this evening."

Mercy says "Thank you!" and blushes a little.

'She blushed? A princess should be used to compliments, why would she blush? Now I'm a little worried, I'll make sure not to compliment her again!'

"Um, so how goes the battle plan?"

Alexa says "Well enough, we will be ready even if they come early."

Mercy says "Yes, and we have modified our plans to account for the suicidal attacks."

"Good, sounds like everything is ready. Is there anything you need us to do?"

Mercy says "Not really, we have been preparing for this for a while now. Your group can just relax until the battle."

Guard says "Highness! Scout reporting!"

Mercy says "Send him in!"

Drog says "Master!"

Hawk says "Princess, Lord Klein was right, they will be here in two days!"

Alexa says "Two days is enough time, anything else to report?"

Hawk says "They number twelve thousand, and there is something off about them."

"Drog?"

Drog says "The two thousand are animated corpses. The entire army is under mental control."

"Well, that's going to be a problem. Anything else?"

Drog says "The hero leading the army is possessed by a rank five shadow demon."
