After I died, my personal maid rebelled.

"Let's talk about Annie's situation first. After learning that we had awakened the same type of power, I carefully examined her body. My feeling is that... she has gone out."

"She was supposed to be an eternally burning flame, continuously releasing light and heat, but for some reason, her power was annihilated after expanding rapidly, ultimately turning into an absolute coldness."

The two leaned against Oswald's chest. Oswald, who had been forced to shut up by Elene, looked helpless and could only act as a cushion between them, silently listening to the girls' nighttime chatter.

If he could, Oswald would just want to take a cold shower, stand on the balcony to get some fresh air, and smoke all night.

He wasn't incapable of understanding the current situation. Although his youth in his previous life was as bland as plain water, and he began to struggle for a living soon after becoming an adult, he would still occasionally watch some films and TV dramas depicting youth in his spare time.

For example, spring items, or winter decorations...

Just as older generations enjoy watching epic dramas of love and hate spanning several generations, the young people of Oswald's time also noticed that a story involving three people is far more dramatic than one involving two.

Yes, Oswald feels like he's about to explode.

He could rationally analyze the cause and effect, but his intense emotions were frantically attacking his reason. He wanted to escape this chaotic situation temporarily, but the two girls on his left and right wouldn't give him a chance to get up.

He had read many books and understood the diversity of human nature, but at this moment, he was still caught in a jumble of thoughts.

"You mean, the abilities she gained are related to temperature?"

Eleanor's hair brushed against Oswald's neck, and Oswald frowned as he watched the two get closer and closer, like spies making a rendezvous.

Jenny's lips never stopped curving upwards, her cheeks still flushed. "It should include temperature, a broader concept, but neither Chuguang nor I were able to deduce it."

"How amazing. Could it be that you are also heroes arranged by some god?" Elena rolled over in Oswald's arms and rested her chin on his chest.

Oswald, who had just gotten a chance to speak, had his mouth covered by Eleanor again before he could even open it.

"Chuguang said that if the Goddess of Law really chose us to deal with this disaster, we should have an incredibly clear line of fate in the river of time, which is not only intertwined but also unique."

When she said those words, Jenny finally mustered the courage to look at Oswald, and quite unusually, she saw embarrassment and helplessness in his expression.

Fortunately, there wasn't a trace of disgust in it.

Even though Chu Guang didn't explicitly say it, Jenny knew whose fate they were intertwined with.

If it was Annie who brought Oswald by chance, then what role did she play in his destiny?

Jenny hoped to receive the answer she longed for.

The conversation in the darkness came to an abrupt end. Jenny pressed her body tightly against Oswald's arm, and perhaps because of exhaustion, or perhaps because she felt at ease, she soon drifted off to sleep.

"You don't need to wrong yourself. I know how possessive my personal maid is."

After a moment of silence, this was the first thing Oswald said tonight.

"I understand, my lord, but I can't always stay by your side. The Northern Territory is expanding, and we have enemies in both the north and the south... I hope that Jenny can help you in my place. We need her, and she needs us too."

Compared to the previous life, the two of them have to spend more and more time apart in this life, but there is nothing that can be done about it. The image of Jenny being seriously injured and in a coma is still a thorn in Eleanor's heart.

The rear of the Northern Territory must be held by someone of sufficient weight, while on the front lines, the Duke and Jane are undoubtedly the safest and most efficient combination.

"Go to sleep, sir. You just tend to overthink things. Actually, I'm more generous than you think."

Oswald remained silent. Eleanor gently touched his lips before retreating into his embrace.

After watching the entire spectacle, the system finally remarked, "[Tsk tsk, why does this system feel that the one truly enjoying the company of two women isn't you, host?]"

……

Sunlight climbed onto the windowsill, and Oswald, who had gotten up early, arrived at the military camp. Meeting the curious gazes of the soldiers, he simply smiled, put on his pipe, and stood on the city wall.

It's a rare opportunity for the three of them to fight side by side, so they should make good preparations beforehand; otherwise, they would be letting down this ancient battlefield with its long history.

Taking the binoculars from the soldiers, Oswald began to formulate a battle plan in his mind.

The Northern Army has been bogged down in the capital; only by removing this thorn in their side can they successfully conquer the southern part of the Central District.

The uniquely shaped lustful monster prevented Elena's elite troops from achieving greater results for the time being. This monster, which was over four meters tall and whose speed and strength far exceeded those of humans, was even more terrifying than the special agents in some zombie games.

Of the entire unit, only Elena has a solo kill record, and she estimates that the number of special monsters is no less than three hundred.

After recording their distribution, Eleanor still chose the Papacy as her primary target and seriously suspected that there was something extraordinary inside.

The somewhat impatient Elene even prepared a large number of alchemical bombs to raze the entire royal city to the ground.

The war-torn capital city is no longer what it once was, and Oswald can find no reason to rebuild it.

The sheer stench of blood emanating from deep underground was enough to deter ordinary people from venturing there.

"S-Sir..."

Having changed into a military uniform, with an obviously ill-fitting military overcoat over it, Jenny, with her hands clasped in front of her chest, timidly approached Oswald.

Her pretty face couldn't help but blush when she thought about what happened last night.

Oswald put down his binoculars and glanced at the soldier who was craning his neck to secretly observe the situation. He found it somewhat amusing.

The Northern Territory's inherited instinct to enjoy gossip...

"I plan to leave Federico, the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Division, and the militia to guard the palace, while the rest of the troops will advance along the central avenue and head straight for the location of the Papacy."

Oswald stepped forward, bent down to straighten Jenny's coat, rolled up the obviously overly long sleeves, and smiled gently, "Do you have anything to add?"

Jenny lowered her head, blushing. "No, but we need to be careful to establish communication lines with the troops outside the city. If necessary, we'll have to launch simultaneous battles inside and outside the city..."

"Yes, this time I'll put you in command. I'll lead the main attack, and Elene and the elite troops will serve as the vanguard. If the attack on the Papacy doesn't go smoothly, you need to occupy advantageous terrain in advance and be ready to support our retreat at any time."

With Janissa in command of the troops, Oswald was finally able to fight a decisive battle.

It's just about dismantling the Vatican; I'm sure Archbishop John won't care. After all, the old man has already used all his last dirty tricks on Diana.

I just don't know if we'll ever have the chance to meet again.

Noticing Jenny habitually clutching her chest, Oswald couldn't help but sigh. "Your injury...isn't it healed yet?"

"No, it's alright."

As the Duke's hand drew closer, Jenny tensed up and could hardly breathe. Then she felt a large, heavy hand cup her face, and rough fingers gently brushed across her eyes.

"Didn't you see your dark circles? You should get some rest. Don't force yourself to come here. I won't leave."
