Chapter 83 - Declaration Of War
Joshua should commend Sir Weissenasche for his excellent light work. The illumination of the light gave the movie hall a romantic ambience.
On top of that, as Belle and the Demon Prince were dancing on the stage to gentle music, the romantic ambience was even stronger.
That was likely the reason why Ciri suddenly asked that question.
“I would say that you’re a very decent girl.”
Joshua did not avoid Ciri’s gaze. He stared back at the female magician.
In the end, it was Ciri who was unable to withstand Joshua’s gaze. With a reddened face, she turned her face away in defeat and started looking elsewhere before speaking with a very quiet voice, “I understand.”
Joshua doesn’t know if his answer satisfied Ciri. But, the performance on the stage was about to read its end.
……
The amount of humans killed by Zenarth had most likely surpassed the hundreds count. Even though Zenarth’s hands were hairy and even padded with paws, his hands had taken away the lives of countless humans.
When the guards of the audiences on the VIP seats saw Zenarth appearing on stage, they all readied themselves for a battle.
That being said, Joshua considered this performance to be a battle in itself, a battle between religion and culture. And, in war and battles, all is fair.
