Caesar scrubbed the detestable medical paste off of his body and quickly finished cleaning up the rest of his body parts before begrudgingly leaving the warm bathtub.
Small droplets of water trailed down Caesar's hair and abdominal muscles as he stood up from the bathtub, he walked his dripping wet body to a nearby stool and sat down in front of the mirror.
He wiped the condensation off the mirror and started to softly brush his long hair, although tedious, Caesar loved the way his long and flowing white hair looked as it fluttered in the wind.
Once he finished brushing and styling his hair, he stood up from the stool and dried himself with a clean towel that was hanging on a nearby rack.
He thoroughly dried each and every body part before smiling in satisfaction, unfortunately, there was no one besides himself to feast their eyes on this eye candy.
After tidying up, he took out his grandfather's military suit that he wore at the ball he had attended when he first arrived in this world… it's overcoat, medals, and of course, it's intricate designs were all still present and the outfit itself still radiated a feeling of superiority.
Caesar slowly put each piece of the outfit on and finished it off with the military cap and white gloves, once finished, he gazed into the glass mirror and examined his current appearance.
Although his past elegant and sophisticated look was essentially gone without the suits he normally wears, he looked much more domineering and devilish with the military outfit… More fitting for his current situation.
Caesar nodded in satisfaction while looking at himself in the mirror and walked to the bathroom door, he slowly turned the knob and walked out. He was quite curious as to how Musashi had dealt with the maid girl.
*creak*
The door swung open and Caesar observed the room, Musashi was still puffing on his pipe while sitting at the end of the bed while the maid girl was nowhere to be seen.
*slam*
Caesar closed the door behind him and walked towards Musashi, "what did you do to the maid?" he asked.
Musashi turned his head and faced Ceasar, "the lass seemed to have been threatened… I just told her to go home" he replied with traces of sadness deep within his eyes.
"Tsk"
Caesar clicked his tongue in displeasure and walked to the table where the cup of tea was still present, he grabbed the base of the cup and examined the insides.
"If she was in fact, threatened, then she was obviously supplied with the poison… if we could identify the poison, we can potentially use it as a clue to find out where it came from" Caesar voiced out his thoughts.
"Haha, it's useless, the poison used is called siilack, a common poison that the trolls use to coat their blades… they aren't even hiding their attempts at killing me anymore, they know we are in no position to fight back" Musashi replied self deprecatingly.
*clank*
Caesar gently placed the teacup back on the silver platter and looked at Musashi disapprovingly, "the trolls are currently using their advantage of superior numbers and information to make you and the other fox-kin feel helpless… They want all of you to lose hope, starve, run, fear, and, of course, die with them using the least amount of personnel possible" Caesar spoke quietly, just barely enough for Musashi to hear.
"However, the fox-kin have a few advantages as well… we have superior elites, capable flame magicians, and the trolls are hated by almost all races, if we use our advantages wisely, victory isn't just merely a dream" Caesar calmly explained.
Musashi looked at Caesar surprised, "I feel as though you have changed a bit… if it was before, you would have probably kept this to yourself and not have attempted to tell anyone your thoughts"
At Musashi's words, Caesar just looked up at the ceiling and smiled wryly… "it has been a very long time since I have last tasted defeat, in fact, I had been clinging to the thought that I was on top of the world…"
Musashi's brows furrowed at Caesar's words, although he had known that defeating Caesar would change something in him, he didn't think it's effects would be this quick.
"It's funny, isn't it? If that was a real battle, I would have died and been forgotten, all of my promises, dreams, everything would have been lost… those that I loved in this world would have been left alone"
Caesar's words paused…
"I had just wanted to help Ahri and then go back to my home, start a business, and live comfortably with no more expectations nor goals… but after losing to you, I realized something… even if I want to live peacefully, others may come and ruin my peace, those that may be too strong for me to handle."
Musashi nodded his head in understanding, "being content with a peaceful life is by no means a bad thing, however, I'm not sure you are qualified to live a peaceful life" he said while looking at Caesar pitifully.
Caesar shook his head at Musashi's words, "you misunderstand, I only wanted a peaceful life because I had forgotten my desire" his tone suddenly changed and became sharper.
"I had forgotten my desire for power, I want to dictate my life with no one being capable of saying otherwise, I want to get stronger, strong enough so that no one can harm those that I love.
A drop of sweat streaked down Musashi's face as he looked at Caesar's current expression, perhaps even Caesar didn't realize it, but he currently had a wide smile with battle crazed eyes.
Caesar raised his slender hand in the air and made a grasping motion as if he wanted to grab the skies… "I have no desire for being ordinary, I want to step back up to where I belong… the apex" Caesar finished his words in a quiet whisper, that perhaps, only he could hear.
Suddenly, Caesar reached out with his hand and offered a handshake with a smile of appreciation on his face, "Thank you, Musashi, you helped me remember something of great importance"
Musashi nodded his head absentmindedly and shook Caesar's hand, he didn't know what the hell he was talking about with 'getting back to the top' or 'remembering his desire for power' but one thing was for sure, the look in his eyes are much more dangerous now.
"Haha, enough talk about serious matters, since tomorrow you will be working with my soldiers to create that moat and irrigation system or whatever it's called. Today I have decided to show you something nice" Musashi changed the subject and effectively lightened the mood.
Caesar, who had just finished with his long tangent tilted his head at Musashi's words, "what is it?" he asked.
"Hehe, a few months ago, we found a strange human that was trespassing in our lands, he was always muttering things like 'the demon Marshall' or 'the white demon', alas, we decided to lock the crazy bastard up… we've been feeding him food ever since and he is still in that jail cell" Musashi explained with a wide smile.
"And this seemingly useless information is for??" Caesar couldn't help but ask with furrowed brows.
"Haha, the guy is hilarious to listen too… I think his name is Robby, or Rodney? Ah, no! It's Ronny!" Musashi thought for a few seconds before blurting out the human males name.
"Ronny, huh? That name sounds strangely familiar" Caesar scanned through his memories with squinted his eyes, but he just couldn't put his finger on where he had heard that name.
"Now that I've gained your attention, shall we move towards his jail cell?" Musashi asked while getting up and taking one last puff of his pipe.
"I suppose, although it seems like a waste of time, I am indeed intrigued by this figure" Caesar responded while stroking his chin.
Musashi placed his pipe on the nearby table and patted his buttocks before walked towards his bedroom door with rushed footsteps.
"Let's not waste any more time, I'm dying to see his reaction once he sees that a man with similar features to a human… perhaps, his insanity and incoherent mumbling will stop" Musashi spoke excitedly, completely destroying his image of a wise old man.
Caesar sighed in exasperation and followed after Musashi… 'I hope this Ronny is as entertaining as he says' Caesar thought inwardly while catching up to Musashi who was practically jogging.
