Our small verbal confrontation wasn't the first, and certainly not the last, since it seems we had quite similar personalities. Birds of a feather flock together, you might say. After all, as some ancient sage said qui se ressemble s’assemble.
But in our case, we were one too many. As there could only be one emperor for the same throne, you could only have one harem seeker driven by lust eminent and carrying figure for a given group of individuals. And this even if the said group was already wholy supporting one of the two parties.
In the end, this was just another way to keep us busy and to alleviate the seriousness of the situation with some jokes in addition to allow us to measure ourselves against each other and ensure our comrade's abilities. Or in short, simple misplaced ego.
It is true that I had prevented a certain person who goes by the name of Alev from doing her job by monopolizing her presence. But in the end, it had allowed us to guard the galleries’ junction safely from both sides while letting the other overtake us.
Throughout this pointless exchange, things had miraculously gone without a hitch, even though the timing would have been perfect for my bad luck to play havoc with it.
And I was not only referring to the absence of troublemakers or the multitude of many events that could’ve happened to prevent us from achieving our goals. Even my worn out mind and state of extreme stress and frustration combined didn’t allow me to fool myself all the way to the point where my black star of misfortune would have struck and tampered my fate.
Mine? Wasn’t it still under investigation which one between me and Lily was truly responsible? Well nowaday I tend to not differentiate and merge the 2 into a single entity. Lily was definitely the source of all evils, but she herself did not spread it knowingly and she was undoubtedly my own unlucky star and mine alone.
Anyway, I was referring to the stupid plan I had put together in my mind while exchanging greetings with someone willing to throw them back in my face. It consisted of undermining the authority of the deceived girl’s mean representative bit by bit and gradually winning over the hearts of those she had bewitched with her sweet word and fake virility.
With my heroic act and pretty figure, I should be able to make more than one blush and I make just as many feel head over heels about me like in the past.
As long as I remained anonymous, proposing an orgy when everything would be over, to any single interested woman, would be a piece of cake and I would certainly be able to make up for the false accusation and prove my abilities if not further display my them.
But I understood well that stopping Lily and Anna from joining us wouldn’t be an easy task and it was too dangerous, so I quickly and successfully put an end to my delusional thinking before it was too late.
This allowed me to refocus on the essentials. It was time to stop this childishness and get serious again. The last few girls had finally gone through the intersection and it was time for Alev to join back Lily. We hadn’t encountered new enemies yet, but that didn’t mean they weren’t any.
Those two had to prepare together for any eventuality that could block their path or slow us down, and I was pretty sure that some bandits had gathered and would launch an assault from behind soon enough.
Since I was supposed to cover our rear and we weren't out of the woods yet. Or rather, out in the open, Lily had actually acted rather professionally unlike a certain someone, and she had long left us to our dispute and guided our group steadily without bothering to wait for it to come to an end.
“Nevermind, let's drop the matter here, take care and shout loud if you need help, remember, they should be some guard and we could always stumble in more on the way. If ever we are stormed from the back, do not stop nor come to help, I should be able to save myself no matter the danger and will manage better if let alone.”
With a last sentence to Alev, inciting her to hold our quarrel for later and go back to the front, I had one last thought while watching her back disappear into the crowd to join the vanguard.
Once we would be in the place, its defense will be under my responsibility. As long as girls' lives were at stake, I would defend the fort against hundreds of thousands, so let's not talk about such insignificant things as a few slow witted bandits. At that time, we would see who will have the makings of a savior, and who will have its name fall into oblivion.
Their gratitude would definitely fall upon me!!
Yes, I may have put aside my orgy ambition, but I didn’t trash everything as if nothing was worth taking. I still had my resolve and I would take the other’s attention from her by any possible means. If it wasn’t all, I could always settle for a smaller group without Lily and Anna knowing.

“Let’s go, our goal is near, it’s just a matter of minutes now. I know you are all worn out by this sudden race, after weeks of inaction being totally motionless, but just a little more. The pervert may seem unreliable, but he knows his thing, you have my word.”
“And I swear as his wife that he is not that bad of a scum, he might be perverted to the bones, but he won't press you with blackmail or anything. I know that many are skeptical about his presence, but his purposes are legitimate and we are just as prisoners as you.”
“I agree, even if his fortuitous appearance and saving plan feel like a trap. I have good reason to believe them even if I honestly doubt his ulterior motive. He will probably ask you for a reward and harass you for it, but he won’t make things difficult or nag you for a no.”
“What else, he always keeps his word so trust us. One more push, and you will be able to reunite with your husband, brother and child, then just enjoy the show. He definitely takes responsibility at heart, provided that they are forced into his attention.”
“Remember, don’t stop even if you are exhausted, keep walking and try to not cause traffic jams, any stop would result in those behind you being blocked. I know you can do it and if you can’t, do it anyway, for your loved ones, for your lover, think about the nights that await you once reunited. And if you don't have any, do it for me, I even authorize you to use my image as a replacement.”
“Follow the line, we won’t care if someone leaves on her own free will, but don't be tempted, certainly, many galleries would lead you to the exit, but only with us you would remain safe, you’re likely to get caught, or worse lost for real.”
“I couldn't have said it better, comrade Lily, It's a pleasure to work with you. Are you sure you don’t want to leave this slug, I would be glad to accept your embrace and cuddle with you, together with my girlfriends. I’m sure she won’t be made, if it’s to save you from the arms of this impotent tyrant.”
“No thanks, but as I’m saddened due to my incompetence to make him lust after my person, and my lack of attraction, I still love this man.”
“I CAN HEAR BOTH OF YOU!!!! STOP slandering myself and make me the bad guys! And it’s you who forced me into marriage!”
“Without my sister I'm sure that you wouldn’t have any problem with it!”
“STOP! This is not the time to debate our marital situation. It's been several weeks, what do I say, months, why put it on the table now? Weren't you satisfied no matter what as long as you were by my side? And your sister is only part of the reason!”
“You have a sister Lily? If she is a tenth as cute as you, you will have to introduce her to me, don’t worry too much about yourself, you’re perfect, this monkey has an eye for beauty, I’m sure you make him horny by your mere presence. He’s just a coward and refuses to admit it, he never flees the issues, but he avoids them desperately.”
“Awww you think that's the reason he refuses to touch me? Anyway, sorry, my sister is already taken.”
“Too bad…” “STOP!!!! SHUT UP AND MOVE!! ”
“By the same man I’ve fallen for…”
“Bastard!!! Wait, Give me one night, I’ll make you forget. What’s good about him anyway!”
“Mmmm nothing, yup, I just love him, no reason. My sister said it was a family issue, we are simply insanely crazy about him and we better not reflect on it to avoid many headaches.”
“I wanna die…. Why hasn't any enemy caught up with us yet... I feel like I urgently need to punch one or two bad guys to distract myself.”
“Outch, that hurt, I wouldn’t have liked it if it were me. Poor dog, you’ll make him depressed.”
“HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bandit at seven o'clock, can you MOVE YOUR ASS!”
“Lol, he’s frustrated, anyway, let’s move on girls, don’t pay attention to our tirade, he's just that kind of man, useless when it came to real love but still looking for a fuck buddy. Do not forget, if you are ever ambushed on the side, strip yourself, that could save your life and give us the time to step in.”
“Really? We will be struck on the front thought”
“Yes, but that dog should be able to make it by all means if he knows there is something to see.”
“Mmm, I suppose he would…”
“No hero would leave a damsel in distress, especially not that one when she is naked.”
"YOU BET I DO.................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuck you, I wish I could do it to you, brutally. I can now put an end to any hope of thanks from the body..."
Hehehe “I wasn't sure about the identity, but it's a done deal, thanks Mr hero, I didn’t think it would be so easy to make you confess.”
“DIE!”
The rest of the way went smoothly, if we did not take into account the flow of insults I spilled over any attacker brave enough to approach us, nor do we pay attention to the hundreds of laughter and chuckles from the freshly invigorated and high-spirited girls.
At least they couldn’t stare at me from their backs, I wouldn't have stood it anymore, not after painfully regaining their trust, then won it even more, but for the worst reason.
Who cares if I’m reliable and trustworthy when it comes to their life… Now I’m forever depicted as the incarnation of lust. No one would ever respond to my advance… My last hope was gone, and with it, I had lost my fighting spirit.
Considering my situation, and my terrible reputation, I was going to have to give up what made me a hero and become a wise man or a philosophic writer. Perhaps I could even write some verse. After all, some were already coming to my mind and I felt like a poet… … But let's not rush things, I should better take it upon myself and deal with it. That was not gonna make me last, but that was still better than losing all faith… It was still too early and I wasn't ready.
