Eritrea clicked her tongue, the playful light in her eyes dying out as she realized she wasn't going to get the reaction she wanted from Asher.
Asher snorted inwardly, amused by Eritrea's antics. He knew she desired him, and despite knowing he was already committed to someone else, she still wanted to play games.
He wondered how he would explain embracing a woman in tattered clothing, almost revealing her body, to Sapphire if the news got to her.
As Eritrea joined the generals, Kelvin approached Asher, still reeling in shock.
"Your Lordship, I mean no disrespect, but what do you want to do? Once these soldiers don dwarven armour, you could dominate almost every force in the Eternal Immortal Empire in a fair battle."
Asher glanced at him, his voice calm and collected.
"Fair battle? I have the Scarlet Templar Knights and Gray Knights for unfair battles, and while you haven't seen them, I must tell you that they are as big as these men before you."
