"We're really thankful, Macy!" Willow said happily.
"No problem, you're being too kind. This is part of my duty," Macy replied. The God of War's wife had personally made a request. How could she refuse?
"What do you mean? Weren't you just claiming that you're the God of War's wife? That means you're free to refuse us!" Zoey chimed in.
"Ah, then I'll leave right now. Enjoy sleeping here alone in this humongous villa," Macy teased.
What was Zoey thinking?
"No, you must sleep with us!" Willow said quickly.
"Then could you please stop bringing up the God of War thing?" Macy asked.
Willow approached Macy and asked, "We're just curious. Are you really the God of War's wife?"
"Haven't you already guessed that I'm a fake? Why are you still asking me? You're making things awkward for me," Macy said, feeling slightly embarrassed.
She did not want to impersonate the God of War's wife either. It was just that the situation called for it. Besides, she was exposed before she could even keep the act for a longer time.
"Since you've admitted to faking it, then could you tell me who the real one is?" Willow really wanted to know Caspian's real identity.
Even though Willow was confident that she was the real God of War's wife, she was still doubtful of it. She wanted to hear a clear answer before fully believing in the fact.
"What? I don't remember anymore. I think you should ask Sylvia about it. I'm suffering from short-term memory loss," Macy prevaricated.
"Here you go again with that nonsense. You're totally fine," Willow said.
"It's true! I've completely forgotten about all the things related to the God of War's wife. I only remember the other stuff. In medical terms, it's called selective amnesia," Macy could only make things up in hopes of fooling her.
Seeing how Macy remained tight-lipped about it, Willow decided not to push further.
Willow, Zoey, and Macy entered the villa. The entire place was now very clean. It was as if the gunfight did not happen here at all.
Sylvia was delighted to hear that Macy was going to be sleeping with Willow and Zoey.
This way, Macy could better protect Willow.
…
Meanwhile, somewhere on the sea, ships from Vadesia and Astronia were approaching Diatoran.
They had even sent a portion of their people to Estrya in preparation for their coalition attack targeting Diatoran's east coastline.
With the exception of the northern region, the entire Diatoran had enemies attacking from all directions.
These countries had already planned and made preparations to attack Diatoran.
…
In the South Aridlands war zone command center, an intelligence officer gave his report in a hurried manner.
"Commander, I have new information!" he said.
"Speak. What is it?" Caspian said.
"We have enemies on the west, east, and the south. They may be attacking together. Moreover, Astronia and Vadesia are preparing to join forces with Estrya to attack from the east coastline!" The intelligence officer gave a report about the current situation.
Hearing this, Caspian's face darkened. He had faith that the southern region of Diatoran would be protected. But what about the other regions?
There was only one of him. He was not able to guard the other regions as well.
If Diatoran was attacked on all three sides, the country would be in great trouble.
Moreover, East Aridlands seemed to not be aware of the looming threat yet. Their defense force was very weak at the moment.
