-Scar wake up,we need to go the sun is out...

I said,gently shaking the sleeping girl in front of me trying to wake her up from her pleasant dreams while also watching her with my golden eyes appraisingly.

-Guhh...hmmm

Scar groaned in return,making a cute sound as if she was trying to say something while still asleep at the same time also making herself comfortable on top of me as her legs and arms fully entangled my entire body enveloping me in her softness.

Throughout the entire night scar had used me as a body pillow it wasn't very uncomfortable so to say,but on the other hand it was still a bit more peaceful and calming watching scar from above if I had to be honest.

While sitting in this position I had thought of more then once to simply move away,but in the end I just couldn't do it,the moment I tried to leave,scar would immediately start to hold me harder by either hand or hip locking me even tighter then before,she also muttered a few words while asleep one of which included her parents which made me feel soft.

In the end,looking at her with my eyes narrowed I couldn't help,but get a bit emotional,I just couldn't go away I felt that going away was wrong somehow and unfair towards scar.

I reflected on this thought and simply accepted my fate at the end becoming a body pillow for the entire night calming scar with a hug,while doing this it sort of reminded me how I usually would treat stella when she gets scared hugging her until she would calm down,which made me feel at least a bit less home sick.

Throughout the night I wasn't only protecting scar in her sleep,the night was pretty long it gave me an opportunity to think a lot and get my plans straight on what to do,some of the things I thought about were also concerning scar and her troubles which was her family,after hearing her worries I felt determined to help scar even more,she was restless after all a bit unstable too if I don't keep an eye on her at all times and give her encouragement I wasn't sure what she would do or think about herself,of course it was bad to be overly reliant on someone especially me out of all people,but when it came to scar I think that she at least deserves this much,seeing her happy with her mother again also made me feel warm from the inside giving her some amount of happiness wasn't bad is all I had to say.

Another thing to talk about were the knights from yesterday and the information I got from them.

First of all,I hadn't killed them.

Now this in itself isn't me being soft,even after scar telling me about the bad things about killing I still didn't feel any different or wrong from how I did things,after all I also made a deal with the knight captain that if he told me everything he knew that I wouldn't kill him and his comrades,another reason why I even made this sort of deal was because I saw that the knight captain did seem to care about the lives of his friends.

Of course if he was any other scumbag who I met so far that only cared about his own well being and no one else,then I would have killed him and his friends without a doubt.

But that is only slightly important as the real reason why I didn't kill him and his friends was to create a living fuse to set myself into position and ready to act,I am fully aware that the knights could or will report me to the prince or even law enforcers to try and capture me,but after thinking it through for a moment I realized that it wasn't that easy after all,after hearing everything about the prince so far and what he did I started to conclude that...

He wasn't just doing this for the throne...

Now the main reason why I would even come to this conclusion comes from the fact that over the course of many years of planning and acting behind the scene,the prince still hadn't become the emperor,but just stayed as the crown prince.

When I asked the knight captain about this he told me that the prince didn't want to be emperor immediately,for some reason he declined to be emperor on the spot over the course of years and just stayed as the next in line successor to the throne,the emperor himself didn't seem to mind that much his years were still there retiring early or later didn't matter to him since they were all long lived beings,but thinking about it,it just didn't make sense..

Firstly,for what did scar's father had to die ?

I first thought that it was simply because scar's father was a nuisance to the prince,but after thinking about it,that just didn't make sense,of course as a admiral that man could have been the biggest obstacle against the prince to gain his throne,but once again there comes the argument.

Why ? Why would the admiral be even against this ? For what I know I can't recall for he life of me that these two or the prince had any bad blood with anyone to make him seem less liable to be emperor wasn't it already pre-established that he would become emperor ?

No,his main objective had the throne in it,but his entire goal didn't seem to be focused on it at all,his reasoning behind doing all of this didn't seem to be any of the common reasons for power at all which was mostly greed and desire for control.

The way I was putting it was understandably complicated,there couldn't be any other reason for him to do these things if not for the throne right ? He even told scar herself that he did all of this for the throne.

But then again why was he doing it in a such roundabout way...

A even better question was,at who was he aiming these actions towards ?

It was very hard to understand.

Much more so after thinking about sera in particular and her role in all of this,the emperor making her the crown princess was also very confusing why did he suddenly change his mind why would he make his own daughter who he hadn't seen for a long while the crown bearer instead of his trustworthy son that he knew for so long ? And why didn't the prince oppose against this in any way and kept his crown ?

What bothered me even more was how sera was doing...for all I could know she was being used right now as a tool of some sort,but after thinking about it for a bit I also started to realize that she may have a much bigger role to this then I actually thought she had I felt that her own story about running away had some kind of intimate connection to these current events,thinking about it if she had really died in that place at the dwarven village how could the events possibly have changed if so ?

There was something about her mother in particular...

-I wish I could ask her...

I mumbled to myself going absent minded for a second as I recalled the story about this woman and how she was presumed dead,I was just about to think it through again until I felt a little shake bellow me rustling my hips.

-Hmmmm...

I smiled,looking at scar it made me forget for a moment about what I was doing seeing her dreamily sleeping like this made me a bit light hearted instead and reminded of my current time that was going up.

On a side note I really had to say,scar moves a lot in her sleep,I hadn't noticed that before on our way here,but throughout the night she did a lot of numbers on me with her positioning or head to head distance,her voluptuous chest in particular was the main problem towards this issue constantly squishing me left and right making me feel her delicate body figure as she grinding herself onto me with a content look on her face,it didn't help that she also wore a silky black night gown that was almost see through I had to thank the gods that she wore something closely resembling underwear while doing this if not for that I wouldn't know if I could have endured.

Well I probably could have,but it was still not very pleasant since even I felt somewhat embarrassed and guilty from doing this.

-Ughh...five...five more minutes please...

Scar groaned out still half asleep as she didn't seem to realize what she was using as a bed nor who she was speaking to,hearing her half hearted reply I couldn't help,but sigh,I felt a bit tempted to just push her away,but after thinking about it for a few more seconds I decided against it and simply gave her another 5 minutes knowing full well that she was just being lazy right now.

-Hey 5 minutes are up,get up,we need to go now

I tried again,this time a bit more aggressive as I shook her a harder,it sure helped a lot making scar open her eyes pretty quickly as she tried to raise herself for a moment.

Her eyes very narrow probably blurry at the moment as she tried to familiarize herself again with her surroundings,I was honestly I bit surprised that she was this sloppy in the morning,but at the same time I could understand why since she must have had accumulated a lot of stress from yesterday coupled with the fact that she also had to fight off a few guys she must have reached her limit at night when she nodded off on top of me with her tears.

-Huh...dawn ?

I snapped out of my thoughts for a second,looking in front of me as I finally met eye to eye with scar who was donning a sleepy look on her face,looking at the position and appearance we were currently in I couldn't say that it didn't look wrong,scar especially was very loosely clothed the shoulder strap of her own even sliding off to the side making her look even more alluring and suggestive as we both gazed into each others eyes.

-...

-...

This pretty much continued for about a few more seconds,it took her a few minutes to realize what was going on as her beautiful face slowly started to go red and her expression turning wide awake at the same time which inevitably resulted in....

-Wah !?

(Bang!)

-Oww !!

...Her jumping away in surprise as she accidentally hit her head on the wooden edge of the bed making a very pained look on her face.

-Your awake now ?

I asked a bit teasingly as I stared at her up and down looking at her night gown without a single shred of shame,seeing me check her out like this,scar immediately got more conscious about herself,embarrassed she still tried to keep cool,but failed miserably as she replied with a soft stutter voice of hers.

-Y...yeah I am awake...

And just like this our morning finally began.
