"But that's not necessarily a bad thing," said Billi.
"What?" Rashid was taken aback for a moment.
"Just remember which women kneel before him. At least you can try to get into their beds without paying," Billi said with a laugh.
"Good idea," Rashid roared with laughter.
"Speaking of which, though, I haven't heard anything about a great army of Heretics," Billi said, shaking his head.
"Maybe it's the Romans," Rashid said, feigning a serious tone.
"Give me a break. If it weren't for our Sultan's mercy, their Emperor's head would have long since become our footstool. We've already taken half their territory. The idea of them returning to Syria..." Billi couldn't help but burst out laughing. He raised his long spear. "If it's the Romans, I'll eat this."
"Compared to Heretics, there's been no end to the news about Aziz's remnants. They're said to be holed up in Baalbek, and they've already destroyed several villages," Rashid said.
