The First Royal Screw Over
I search around for the card on the front side of the building where I saw it get into a roof tile and begin picking at them until I find it.
*6 minutes*
"Aha!" I grab the card which is now slightly wrinkled paper and wipes off some dirt and grime it acquired when stuck.
Well, it doesn't need to look good, I just need to be able to read the codes look at it, and "Sergio43 A New Dawn" is still readable.
[You know I had the code stored in my database...You didn't need to have the car,d he just needed you to say the code. Not show it.]
What...Why didn't you tell me?!
[Because I found it entertaining and you never asked me. I am a living computer you know. I see what you see and hear what you hear.]
You're so worthless...
"EEEEK!" I get briefly startled and punched out of my thought argument and turn around to where I thought I heard someone scream.
I turn my whole body towards it and walk towards where the sound seemed to have come from. I walk towards the right side facing the front of the building and look over the ledge.
I see a woman get shoved into the side of the wall in a narrow alleyway. As I focus my vision on the woman, she is wearing a ripped-up white dress that she is holding close to herself. Two adult men in body armor standing above her, with one of them holding what looks like pieces of her dress in his right hand.
Isn't...Isn't that the lady from before? Who was surrounded by like 10 guards or something?
[Yes, her facial features match that of her as well as the coloring of her dress. However, she appears to clearly be dirty.]
I feel like jumping in and seeing what is going on in person, but I hold myself back in order to observe what is going on.
"Her money is not where it should be I guess, guards didn't even notice us walking up pretending to be one of them. Idiot Lion guardsmen these days." one of them states
"Yeah, I know the Night Watch Order are scums, but they sure know how to recognize deception when they see it. Lion Guardsmen think everyone is all noble and good. HA! Now what should we do about you, missy?" the one on the left says mockingly.
The woman turns her head away closing her eyes from them in silence. Why is she not screaming? I know I would in this situation.
"Good, she knows her place. Otherwise, you'd get a nice little beating if you even squeal like a pig." one of the comments
That explains why she is not screaming.
"So wait, what did our employer tell us to do again?" one asks
"They said we needed to humiliate her. I suppose that's vague. I suppose anything goes hehe" he says tossing the ripped dress away and both of them begin jostling their armor.
Okay, I am getting involved now.
[Why? Doesn't concern us]
Because my mind doesn't sit well. Plus, it is not your decision
I jump off the side of the building onto the other parallel to the one I was on and jump between the two landing on the left of the knights.
All three of them take notice of my sudden appearance and stop what they are doing.
"What's going on here?" I ask being coy waiting to get a response
The two are silent for a bit but the far right speaks up.
"We chased off some goons just before they did something to this woman, please, it isn't your concern citizen. He says boldly not showing any hesitation.
"Damn...That's dark. Well, how about I go get some help and-"
"No, that is not necessary citizen, just make your way out of here and we will deal with-" he gets cut off before finishing.
"Yeah, you're bullshitting me aren't you..." I say more of a serious tone at the eye catching both of them off guard for a moment.
But the one closest to me chuckles a bit and draws his sword out from his left hip.
"Makes things easier not to have a witness!" he then begins running at me preparing to swing at me from my left side and I stand still waiting for him confidently
"L-look out!" the girl screams
He puts a swing direction swings at me, which I easily do with my right foot step forward, and drop-down which he misses me.
I then with my right foot again push up grabbing the wrist of the knight and squeezing tightly causing his hand to actually weaken. I then with my left elbow drive it into the knight's chest stacking him back a bit. But with his sword in my right hand now.
"What the fuck?!" he yells holding his wrist.
I might've over it with the wrist, I basically squeezed it with enough pressure to break his wrist, but it is best to appear skilled than to be physically stronger. That raises more questions than I want to answer.
"Urgh! Out of my way!" the knight from further away yells
He shoves him out of the way and has a lighter build kind of armor, but he is dueling two short swords. He then begins doing a rapid flurry of strikes towards me which I manage to avoid most of the time, but he slightly nicks me on my cheek. I then take the sword I had in my possession and parry his right hand and get in very close to head-butting him.
*CLANK*
My forward collides into the pointed part of his square-like helmet and he staggers back severely. Then falls over right away. I didn't think I head butt him that hard...
[You're an idiot...]
"My head is made out of Ademine you said it was virtually indestructible"
[Yeah, but your skin isn't...]
"Oh..."
After Seila clears that up for me, I start feeling something warm trace down my head and feel it. Yep..that's blood...
[Idiot...]
I look back at the remaining knight who is still holding his wrist but lets it go and pulls out a dagger from behind him.
"I'm going to murder you, and you bitch!" he says turning his gave over to the girl
"You're going to be my-" His final words are cut off as he does the biggest mistake in a fight. Looking away from his opponent
I had taken the opportunity of him not looking and quickly rushed him. The alleyway is very narrow, so I side on the side of the wall and using my knee rammed it into his helmet knocking him back into a wooden fence.
The fence then breaks under the force exerted on it and the knight falls through it into the public.
He tries to get up but his helmet might've been damaged from my knee, I check my knee and see I also got cut from that. They need smoother helmets...
[The helmets are smooth, they just have edges. In the center of the helmets where you are hitting them with your body...]
Whatever I did a good deed and I am satisfied with that.
"What is going on? Is that a Lion Guard knight?" someone yells
As a result, people start murmuring and whispering from a distance about 40 feet from me where a carriage where this same lady with the ripped dress was.
The knight did make a point, the Lion Guard might be more incompetent than I thought. There are 10 of them, and none of them kept an eye on her. I don't know how long she was in this alleyway, but I am guessing maybe 9 minutes. I saw her before I got on the roof, and that was like 6 minutes maybe.
Oh yeah, she is still here.
I turn around and see the woman who is still barely covered up but she is ripped dress and dirty. I am guessing they tossed her around in bully form. I can at least give her the decency of hiding her body.
I have an undershirt so I won't have an issue if my shirt right now is gone. I take it off and walk over to her and when I get about 10 feet from her she begins to crawl backward against the wall.
I stop where I am as a result. I am guessing she is too skeptical or paranoid. I get on one knee and toss her the shirt from where I am.
"Put some clothes on, not appropriate for a woman to be nude.
[But you just took off your shirt!]
I have an undershirt and I said "Woman" Do I look like one?!
[You humans all look like meat bags to me so yes.]
*Sigh*
I stand up and wipe the blood from my face and I hear clanking noises coming from the broken fence as the knight's body gets dragged out.
I look back and see about 5 knights all with the lion insignia breakthrough. They begin approaching us and then the one in the center who has a Blue cape approaches and then looks at the woman who looks away in shame.
*SSHIIIIINNG*
Oh boy...
"You are under arrest and will be in the custody of the Lion Guard for the assault of two Lion Guardsmen, and the physical assault of a royalty! State your surrender swiftly, and you will be dealt with accordingly!" he states pointing his sword at me.
