Part Two, Chapter Six: “Heroes Are Symbols of Hope Who Defend Humanity.” Sure They Are. Die

The Arnian soldiers rang the gong and called for a ceasefire. Even in war, there were rules. While Asura and Moon Blossom ignored most of them, it wasn’t as if war was a lawless affair. The ringing of the gong signaled that the general wanted to speak to the opposing side. Most of the time, they rang the gong to surrender, so fighting usually stopped unless it was particularly heated.

The Therbaen and Arnian soldiers all lined up in a row and faced each other at a distance of about twenty meters. From the Therbaen side, Matias and several other commanders walked forward. From the Arnian side, so did Teropekka and Moon Blossom. They dragged Punti along with them as their hostage.

“Punti?!” Matias exclaimed upon seeing him.

“Sir Matias, we would like to exchange prisoners,” Teropekka said.

“I was wondering where you’d went...but you got yourself captured by Moon Blossom?” Matias glared at Lumia, who simply shrugged without confirming or denying the accusation.

“We would like to exchange Punti, your son and a hero candidate, for all of the Arnian soldiers you have captured,” Teropekka continued.

“All...of them...?”

“I believe that he is worth all the effort of ringing the gong, stopping the fighting, and offering a trade. Because of that belief, I have neither tortured nor interrogated him. However, if you refuse, I’ll have no choice but to extract as much information as I can before executing him.”

“You bastard... I bet that you only managed to capture Punti because Moon Blossom used some underhanded tricks!” Matias yelled, his face red with fury. He looked like he was seconds away from drawing his sword on them.

However, everyone knew that he wouldn’t. Heroes had privileges, but were bound to their duties as well. They were forbidden from killing people out of a personal grudge or for personal gain. If Matias killed someone while the gong was ringing over the battlefield for a ceasefire, it would be a murder committed for his own selfish reasons. He would immediately get his hero status taken away from him.

“Punti,” Lumia ordered with a smile. “Why don’t you explain to your father just how you were captured?”

“Dad... I lost a duel...”

“Impossible! Someone of your caliber losing a duel?! I don’t believe it! Who did you lose to?! Was it to Teropekka?!”

“It was to me,” Lumia said. “I apologize, but I know a thing or two about fighting. But I’m sure you know that.”

“Lumia Canarre...the vice-captain of Moon Blossom... Yes, if you were Punti’s opponent, then you’d be evenly matched...” Matias growled, clenching his fist.

“‘Evenly matched’?” Lumia scoffed. “That’s not a very funny joke. But we can discuss that later. So, what is your decision? Will you trade prisoners with us?”

For a few moments, no one spoke until slowly, Matias said, “We will. Hey, some of you go grab the Arnian prisoners!”

After Matias’s order, silence filled the air again. It was thick and heavy, but Lumia didn’t seem bothered.
