Chapter 161 - War of the Four Kings (VIII)
"A good dog for my king." That was the thought of Leda, Lady Commander of the Royal Guard and Sword of Aenar.
------------
When Leda found Aenar again, she looked around with an indifferent gaze. Hundreds of broken, cut and torn bodies were scattered on the ground. The smell of blood was so strong that it seemed to permeate the air.
Leda noticed, not far away, children, women and old people, all staring at her king with terrified looks on their faces. She wasn't surprised by this. Unlike her murderous method, Aenar had chosen to kill brutally.
Leda's white armor didn't have a single drop of blood on it, but Aenar was soaked. There wasn't even a clean part of him, as if he had just emerged from a pond of blood.
"Leda, get ready to wear a dozen lady's dresses." Already anticipating Leda's arrival, Aenar commented in an amused tone, oblivious to his current appearance. As for the number of ears he had cut off, he had lost count, but there were many.
Aenar estimated that he had killed more than a thousand men in less than two hours. He had practically destroyed two or four Hill Clans. Yet, as he had promised Visenya and Daenerys, he hadn't killed any women or children.
Leda's lips twitched as she heard Aenar's words. Although she knew the king wouldn't pass up the bet, she hadn't imagined he would ask for something so trivial. Was it really so much fun to tease her? Leda didn't know, but she did know that she would have to wear countless women's dresses.
Thinking about those dresses, her face revealed a slight helplessness. She had never liked wearing them; although comfortable, they were totally unsuitable for training or any other occasion involving physical exertion.
"Let's go. I've taught these people a lesson they'll never forget in their lives." Stowing Lady Lya back in her scabbard, Aenar spoke with a smile.
"Does Your Grace need me to finish the job?" Leda asked, bringing her hand to the hilt of her sword. She looked at the women and children with indifference. If Aenar so wished, she would do it without any hesitation.
