Chapter 164 - Heavenly Acting



​​

Arnold nodded and uttered, "You guessed it right."

Arnold was transmigrated into the body of a prince— although he had no connection to the king and the queen other than being in the body of their child, he was still a prince.

"What will you do?" Nero asked Arnold.

"I can\'t keep running forever; sooner or later, they will catch me."

After a brief pause, he continued, "But, not today."

SIGH!

Nero sighed and snatched the reins of the horses from Arnold\'s hand and said, "Come sit on my lap."

"But—"

"I don\'t like repeating myself," Nero uttered in a solemn voice.

Arnold gulped down in fear and sat on Nero\'s lap.

Nero changed his appearance to a human and conjured clothes similar to a coachman around his body.

When they reached the gate of the town, the guards stopped the carriage, as expected.

"Halt!" yelled the guard.

Another guard approached the carriage with a sword in his hand. He inspected the carriage from outside and asked, "Who are you? Where did you come from, and what\'s your business to come into this town?"

"I am a demon, and I am here to kill you all," Nero answered with a smile on his face.

"Wha—!" The guards took out their swords and stood in a defensive stance.

Nero stared at them with a smirk on his face and uttered, "Come on, guys. I was joking."

"This is no time to joke!" the guard yelled.

"Indeed. And that\'s the reason I joked."

"If you understand, then why did you—"

"I understand you guys and your job; It must be tough and an exhausting job."

"You don\'t say," the guard sighed in agreement.

"I can understand your pain very well." Nero shook his head and let out a weary sigh: "Us members of the royal army are always treated as slaves. We need to do what our higher-ups ask us to do. And we can\'t even refute them because if we do, they will get rid of us."

"You are exactly on the mark, brother." The guard put his sword back in his sheath and continued, "They don\'t care about our lives since our lives don\'t matter to them; they can get as many soldiers as they want."

"The truth is always bitter, my friend," Nero nodded.

The guard shrugged and added, "Well, what else can we do other than obey the higher-ups? We got a family to feed and a home to return."

"Exactly. That was my point." Nero moved his hand to his pocket as he said, "We all do jobs for only one thing; money. And anyone can do anything for money, am I right, my friend?"

The guard pondered for a while and answered, "It depends."

Nero smirked inwardly and tossed a pouch full of crystals to the guard: "Someone gave me this, and I want you to have it."

The guard opened the pouch and exclaimed, "What?!"

The pouch was filled with crystals.

"This pouch is worth ten years of my life as a soldier," the guard muttered.

"Share it with your other guards too." Nero pointed his gaze at the other guards and said, "They work as hard as you and any other soldier would do; they deserve this too."

The guard glared at Nero and asked, "I am sorry to ask but is this bribery?"

"Bribery? Heaven\'s no." Nero glanced back and forth at the guards and asserted, "You guards look so honest, and I am damn sure you won\'t be swayed by a bribe. The fortune I gave you is just a token of my gratitude."

"Gratitude? But we didn\'t do anything for you," the guard uttered with a puzzled and confused look on his face.

"You shared my pain and talked with me for a few minutes; That made me happy," Nero replied.

\'This guy… he must have suffered so much. What a gentleman!\' All the guards thought the same thing.

"I wish you good luck with your job," Nero added.

"You too!" The guard turned to the guards on the gate and shouted, "Let this man pass!"

"Thank you, my friend. You saved me. If I were a little more late, my lord would have punished me by feeding me these horses\' shit."

The guard rushed to the gate and pushed everyone away to make a clear route for Nero: "Hurry! I hope you make it on time!"

Nero drove the carriage through the gate without any problem.

"That was… mind-blowing acting, master Zeus," Arnold awed.

"Half of the things I said were true, though. A soldier\'s life is not easy; never underestimate it," Nero asserted in a solemn voice.

"Is that why you didn\'t kill them?" Arnold asked curiously.

"No. If I had killed them, then the news of you being in this town would spread like water, and I want to avoid that."

\'As expected of master Zeus. He still thinks everything rationally and acts kind,\' Arnold thought to himself.

"I simply want to go to some inn and eat and sleep. But if I had caused a ruckus, I wouldn\'t be able to enjoy my time."

Nero was only thinking about himself, although it wasn\'t as though he didn\'t care about Arnold. But he wouldn\'t have minded even if the guards had seen him.

"So, where is the inn?" Nero asked in an annoyed tone.

Arnold grabbed the reins of the horses and said, "I will drive there."

Nero raised his brows and asked, "And when do you plan to get off my lap?"

Arnold\'s face turned pale as he uttered, "I was about to do that."

After driving for a while, Arnold parked the carriage in a stable and said, "We are here."

SIGH!

Nero sighed and got off the carriage, saying, "I hope the food here is good."

"Don\'t worry about the food. The inn owner of this in is \'her\'," Arnold informed

"And who is her?"

"You will know when you get there."
