Chapter 256 Peace of Short Term
Jayna Brown had a good impression of Eleanor Duncan at first sight. Ever since she had the memories of Christina, she'd acted like Christina in many ways. Christina was a woman living two thousand years ago, and she did everything in ancient styles. Eleanor Duncan, as a member of a long-passed name, had been learning past and modern courtesy since childhood. She dressed in ancient style, which was why Jayna Brown felt intimate with her.
"Hee, hee, Eleanor, come here. I'm introducing you to these sisters. You look the youngest among us, but it's okay, we're gonna take good care of you. Don't be shy. We're a family." Jayna smiled and walked to Eleanor to grab her hand. She took her to Jane Cook, Hannah Bass, and Ivy to give her introductions.
Eleanor was polite, beautiful, and very sincere and honest. The other four ladies were top beauties in the world, too, but no schemers. Then, the five women could easily talk and laugh together.
Eleanor was previously perturbed, but after finding that these girls were easy-going, she could naturally join the talk with them. In front of these girls, Eleanor who had been thinking highly of herself put down her pride as she knew none of them was inferior to her, especially Jayna Brown, who was somehow giving her a unique feeling. She couldn't name that feeling, but her instinct told her Jayna was an impressive woman.
The five top beauties at the gate of the Miller residence talking made here the prettiest and most delightful landscape.
While the five beauties were in a delightful chat, War walked to Iwan, his big brother, his lord. His feelings got entangled as he was urged to go back to the God of War Sect, which was no longer recluse. The Supreme Elder of the Sect had met Shelton Hayes, the Senior Elder of the Dragon Kingdom earlier this month.
He was really reluctant to leave the Heaven Domain and his brothers in front of him. He came to Iwan and spoke, "Brother, I..."
Iwan stopped him with a gesture and tapped on his shoulders hard, "Brother, I know what you're gonna say, but we can talk about it later. Today is a good day, and it's been forever since the last time we partied together. I knew about your situation from the moment you joined the Heaven Domain. I have met Joseph then."
While saying that, Iwan tapped Dark after a moment of pause, "Dark, I know about you, too. I have spoken to your father so early. But now, most things don't matter."
Then, Iwan took a deep breath, smiled at his brothers, and slowly said, "What matters is we are brothers. We're brothers forever, aren't we?"
"Big brother... That's right! We are brothers!" War had more thoughts reflected in his eyes. He knew about what Iwan said, more or less. However, as Iwan said, they were brothers forever. The physical distance wouldn't separate their hearts, because it would have already been done if it could.
Dark, Kill, and Slay nodded hard and, after a deep breath, said in unison, "Brothers forever!"
The Lord of the Heaven Domain and his four Masters were all men with great destinies. Each one of them was unparalleled and excellent, and in the past five years, they had been conquering the External Battlefield together, destroying forces one by one. They brought fear to their enemies, and this time, they were on the side of the Dragon Kingdom without wavering minds and keeping enemies from them.
This was a kind of unspoken glory! While the five men were talking, the five beauties looked sideways at them.
Surely, the Military was going to conscript more ideal youths, but it would take time for them to grow and practice. What was more, the Dragon Kingdom had exposed all their aces in their sleeves after winning this battle, particularly the Heaven Domain revealing its stance.
When the second war began, the Overseas Alliance would definitely count the Heaven Domain as part of the Dragon Kingdom. And in the Kingdom even if Iwan Cliff had destroyed Spiritual Cave and forced the Sky Sect to yield, the stronger recluse forces like the God of War Sect and the Heaven Force had risen.
Iwan had exposed all his aces, too, in the battle. Everyone on the External Battlefield knew he was a Real Emperor and had Black Emperor supporting him in dark. The Real Emperor's path was unbearable to the guardian of the rules. Although Iwan didn't know what had happened during the window between he was unconscious and awake, he hadn't seen any guardians come to bother him from the Kingdom or the Battlefield since he woke up.
But it didn't mean he was allowed to do anything he wanted in the following days. After entering Stage Seven, he'd been having this stronger and stronger feeling that he was on thin ice. Why were they so terrified of him choosing that path? In order to kill Iwan Cliff, even Marcus who was one of the guardians would rather break the rules himself than keep them. Iwan had to dig out the roots of the event.
All in all, the war was far from over. Iwan Cliff and his Heaven Domain still had missions to finish, and so did the Military Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom, which hadn't reclaimed its ancient glory and climbed the top of the world again.
"It was a matter of time before the war happens again. The next one will be harsher and more expansive than ever." Iwan knew it, and War, Dark, Kill, and Slay knew it, too. Even Jayna and her girls knew it. It was too soon for perpetual peace to befall them. This time, peace would only last until the next war came.
Then, the five men and the five girls were heading to the marriage register.
