Tyranny of Steel

Chapter 654: The Gunther Merchant Company

Late in the night within the Kingdom of Austria, there lie a young redheaded woman. She sat in the window of the Royal palace as she contemplated everything her husband had told her. For the past three weeks, she had been using Imperial Intelligence to coordinate with the Department of Archeology so that she could find some hint of a god ’s trail.

However, despite the woman ’s best efforts, she had found nothing. It would appear that the gods left little clues as to their whereabouts while they hid from the mortal world. Because of this, Linde was in a state of depression as she thought about losing the man she loved. Not in this life, as she knew they would be together until their deaths.

What worried her was spending an eternity without him, after they passed away from this world. Supposedly, from what Berengar had told her, he was free to choose an afterlife. However, before he gained this freedom, the man was destined for the gates of hell.

Why was he destined to go to hell? Because he was a sinner, and because he had no faith in the Abrahamic God. After all, if the deity really existed, and was all powerful, then why did he allow the world to be such a troublesome place that was filled with injustice? However, after learning the truth, Berengar had come to realize that the deity in question was simply lacking power, and could only interfere with the world by using his believers as chess pieces.

Would he truly believe in such a powerless god after learning the truth? No, instead he decided that he would follow his own path in life regardless as to whatever mystical deity might try to interfere. As for Linde, she was still destined to end up in one of the Abrahamic afterlives, and considering she was so similar to Berengar, she feared that hell was her destination. However, what she feared the most was being torn away from the man she loved.

Berengar had noticed the woman was in a distressed state and had decided to calm her down. He approached the area where she sat staring at the starry night sky and handed her a virgin daiquiri. Normally, he would give the woman a distilled spirit to calm her nerves. However, she was currently pregnant, and he did not dare risk the wellbeing of the child within her womb.

”Linde, it ’s been three weeks. There is no reason to rush yourself. We have many years before either of us expires naturally. Take this time to enjoy life. If we stumble onto any clues in the future, we can free you and the girls from that old bastard ’s grasp, then. ”

Despite Berengar ’s kindness, Linde shook her head. She had an anxious expression on her face as she bounced one of her ideas off to the man she loved.
