Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

Chapter 327 On the Walls

327 On the Walls 𝘦.𝘤𝘰𝑚𝑖𝘦.𝑐ℴ𝘮

The distance between the walls was five kilometers, and there was not a bridge that connected the two walls. Garrison soldiers could pass the main road to reach the other wall, yes, but they would intimate the farmers and the citizens. For that reason, we constructed four identical bridges that connected the Inner and Outer Walls. The bridges had the same height as the walls and were made out of stones, bricks, and concrete. The bridges were as wide as the walls so that multiple people could march abreast. The architecture was like that of Roman aqueducts, so the bridges added beauty to the city. By the way, those five-kilometer-long bridges were lined at the northwest, northeast, southeast, and southwest for aesthetics. “Hey, Raphael, are you sure Dane isn’t rejecting you?” “She hasn’t responded to me yet, so I cannot rule that out.” I was not alone on the wall, enjoying the sunset. Big Sis was also resting her arms on the same parapet gap as mine. But her butt was sticking out, so I gave it a slap, which made her black knee-length skirt flutter. Clap. “Stop that!” “He he.” Big Sis then kicked my butt while maintaining her position, but that did not budge me. I decided not to try to fight back, and after a moment of silence, Big Sis was the one to speak first. “But seriously, aren’t you getting too many women lately?” “Well, yeah. But I cannot help it, you know? Perhaps I inherited Mother’s extreme love for women.” “That might be the case.” “Speaking of, you are also Mother’s child, Sis. Are you going to satisfy yourself with Mary alone?” “Are you saying that Mary is not enough for you?!” She faced me and then yelled angrily at me. “After all those nights I allowed you to share a bed with her, you are saying that she isn’t enough for you?!” “No, no! Please calm down, Sis! That’s not what I meant,” I said before I grabbed her wrists. “Mary is an incredible woman. There’s no way she left me unsatisfied. She is more than enough for both of us.” “…” After I said those words, Big Sis stopped her tantrum before I let go of my hands. “What I mean is that you are going to be the heir of our territory now. The same as the kings and lords, you need to take a noblewoman for you to be socially and legally acceptable for the title. Do you understand now?” “Alright, I got it now,” she said as she went back, resting her arms on the parapet and staring at the twilight. “To be honest, I don’t really understand how you fell in love with someone that easily. I just think that being with someone you already have is enough.” “But you love eating our three mothers and Sarah.” “Shut up. You offered them to me, so I have to dig in.” “You share Mary with me; I share mine as well. But seriously, you need to take a noblewoman, Sis. You will become the queen of this nation if recognized. Mary is no longer a noblewoman anymore, so she cannot be your primary spouse.” “Yeah. I’ll take that in mind.” “Relatedly, the next school year is about to come. So let’s find our own main wife together, Sis.” “Hm.” Big Sis briefly closed her eyes before turning her head to me with a smile. “I know that you are cheeky, but I never thought of you to be this bold. But don’t get too overconfident, Raphael; I am the only one who can choose whether any of my women would sleep with you.” “You read me so well, Sis. However, I have standards, so I will judge if she is worthy of my sword.” “Hmph. We’ll see about that.” She crossed her arms, and then both of us fixed our attention on the road. “Well then, it seems like they are here.” As Big Sis and I were talking on the wall, we sensed a convoy rolling from a distance. The reason we were here was that a few days ago, an envoy arrived in the city and delivered a message. The scroll stated that within a few days, the emperor of the Dixon Empire would personally take a state visit to our city—Emperor Jeffrey Dixon was currently on his way toward the city.
