ch10- a lesson
in gaint Golden castle in the middle of Elanor the capital city of the Nova kingdom a butler is walking in the hallways heading towards the master bedroom with a phone in his hands
while walking through the hallway every maid or knight he passed through stepped aside and bowed their heads to him until he is out of the field of view then going back to what they have been doing
upon reaching the bedroom he knocked gently
"Your Royal Highness its me Diablo" said the butler
"enter" he heard from inside
after walking through trying to reach his bed
"Master it's the Pentagon" Diablo said to Aster
Aster got up and sat on the bed side
"give me the phone" aster said with a tired sigh
"it's me so talk" Aster said while rubbing his closed eyes
"we have a unknown individuals close to the border from the 2nd princess side they are currently taking shelter in a cave to hide from the blizzard and after we got info from the CIA side that the shadow squad obtained
it turned that they are illegal slave traders without a permit to sell slaves
at first we thought about using the drone strike but now we are in discussion about what ever to do it or not
after voting we reached a tide so according to the protocol we have to contact you're majesty for instructions"
the general said in one breath
"so it came to that give me a moment to think" Aster said
after taking 10s
"no drone strikes contact the task force 141 to be ready and call the minster of mana and magic affairs tell her to accompany me on trip
and issue a country wide statement of a possibility of accepting the first outsiders and prepare my helicopter and go through the records and see how meny slaves are there and prepare ch-47 according to the slave numbers" he said while getting up from bed
"Diablo tell the Prime Minister mission fabricated reality is a go my code is November-8-wisky-0-10"
"as you order my lord" Diablo said
"and wake milim up tell her we are going for trip"
Aster said while Grayfia is helping him with his clothes which are black and red strips it's his official uniform and he use it on official occasions
---POV change unknown----
"please she is sick i will do anything just get her something to eat" said a14 years old girl with blond hair and red eyes is shouting at the 2 guards who are not far from her cell
"hahah did you hear she said we could do anything so we are basically not forcing her like stated in the magic contract" said one of the guards
"meh you can play with her I'm into boys and be careful magic contracts are strong so when you force her you could die that's why it's more expensive than the slave magic collar only high nobles and royalty could afford it and even if they could afford they could pearly find a high level mage to write the contract so it means the who employed us are not to be missed with" the other guard said
"anyway I'm going to the fire place" he said
after the first guard prepared the Soup he went back to the cell
"so you said you will do anything right?" he asked with a grin
"yes" she said while lowering her head out of shame
"then come with me" he said while unlocking the cell with his keys
and when he unlocked the cell it made a loud noise that woke up the other girl
which her age is the same as her friend and her look is of silver hair and golden eyes
"*Cough*what is *cough* going on lena" she said with a frightened look
"don't worry Elle it's going to be ok it's just soup to make you feel better" her friend said with bright smile
after arriving at the table which the hot soup is placed at Elle after setting on the table she looked at the guard who suddenly placed his hand on lena shoulders making lena shiver but still keeping her smile as not to disturb her friend
but her friend noticed that something is wrong
but she kept looking until the guard and lena turned around going somewhere
"WAIT!" elle said that made the guard and lena stop
"where are you going" elle asked
"not of your business she's just meeting her end of the deal" the guard said with a its not your business so please don't interfere look
"huh what is that?" elle said with a puzzled look
"huh what are you looking at?" as soon the guard turned his head
elle Threw the bowl of hot soup to the back of his Bald head
"agghhhh you bitch" he screamed in pain
"Run lena RUN" elle screamed and ran while holding lena hands
they ran in random Direction
they kept running and running until they faced a dead end
"ah no he is coming" lena said with fright
"*cough* go *cough* leave i will distract*cough* his attention" said elle who couldn't run anymore and thought that her only friend could escape
"NO I'm not leaving you alone this not what a magic knight will do" lena said with tears and grabbing a stick nearby and taking a defensive position in front of elle
"STOP go now before he arrives escape so you could achieve your dream of being a magic knight and if you ever find my family please tell them that I love them and I'm sorry for the mean things I told my father" elle said with tears
"i will Rather die here then leaving you and tell them that your self" lena roared back with firm eyes and holding the stick like a sword
"found you hahah you think you could get away from me what a stupid things you guys are and you think a wooden stick could harm me well think again" he avoided lena strike while his knee went to her stomach making her spit blood
"you weak so better give it up" he said holding lena hair in his hand
"STOP PLEASE DON'T HURT HER PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU STOP" elle was shouting and crying while the guard is just kicking lena around like a rag doll
before He hits her again a figure rose from his shadow placing a a dagger on his neck
"move again and your head is gone" a cold voice that sent shivers to him spoke
he froze
and then they heard clapping from the hallway
"amazing this what friendships should be"a man in what seems to be a military uniform Decorated with Jewelry and gold strikes
while the people behind him are in weird clothing with some things covering their heads and one of them had a skull mask on his face
he walked in the direction of the injured girl and squatted near her
"so tell me why didn't you run away and leave your friend you could survive alone but with her it's impossible she would have died the second day that if you even managed to avoid the other guards which is semi impossible" the a boy about 1 or 2 years older than them told the girl
"even if i die i will never leave a friend behind" she said while Wiping the blood from her face
"good that is a quality a knight should have so for you to be a powerful knight let me give you a lesson" the man said while heading towards a man with a wired hat and a beard
"captain price I'm going to borrow your gun for a moment and Souei tell your squad members to bring this Baldy friend" the guy said
and then the other guard who was supposed to be guarding them but gave his friend some space appeared out of the shadows
they couldn't understand what just happened
and then the young man spoke again
"so you see this in my hand it's called a firearm and it's name is desert eagle and this iron in my other hand is called a bullet to be specific
its a .50 caliber that's fits into this firearm and I'm about to show what would happen when this bullet hits a human head in a matter of milliseconds" he said aiming the gun on the guard who just showed up
*bang* and they heard the loudest thing they heard so far in their lives
and the guard head exploded with his brain all over the ground
"now lena and elle which one of you is going is going to shot the baldy here" the young man said handing the gun in there direction and they completely froze
after a few moments
"*cough*me*cough* I'm going to do it just don't harm my friend" she said while taking the gun and walking in the direction of the bald guard
she started to lift the gun but her hands were shivering and suddenly a hand touched her skinny arms
"don't worry just breath aim focuse the thing you are trying to hit between those 2 green dots and place your finger here on this thing to before you shot just tighten the grip of your hand and then he is dead" Aster said slowly guiding elle
*thumb*thumb*thumb* elle heart beats was l beating fast she really wanted to kill him but she's afraid she's Hesitant she is not sure if she is ready to kill anyone her arms grew weak and she lowered the gun
"i can't I'm not sure about this" she said
which made the young man sigh and took the gun from her
"and you?" the young man asked lena
"i can't that is not something a knight should do" lena said to the young man
"not what's the knights should do huh ok then
how about you baldy shot those two girls and you are free to go and Souei remove your steel strings" he said this while passing the gun towards the bald guard
which shocked the girls they thought he was the good guy but wtf just happened
"are you saying the truth???" the bald guy said
"100% you just need to make the bullet Penetrate their heads" the young man said
and the baldy immediately took the gun and aimed at the girls
"of course i will and it's like gift from the high lords" he said with Enthusiasm
*click*click*click*
"why doesn't it fire??" the baldy said out loud
"oh for that you need the fingerprint recognition of the owner of the gun and without it u can't fire shit" the young man said with a smile
he walked up to the girls who were hugging each other out of fright
"now did you understand Mercy for Enemies is murder to your friends and don't ever trust your enemy the moment you turn your back they will stab you from the back" Aster said
which made them understand what lesson he was talking about
