11 British Empire

Jill startled when the carriage curtains slithered abruptly, unveiling Edgar standing before the carriage, and his hands closed on the curtains.

The rest gathered around to see what the carriage had to give.

"Mhmmm what a meaty mouthful.!" Edgar exclaimed, whilst starring lustfully at Jill's white smooth fleshy skin.

He grinned at Jill, exposing his tooth which were in shambles, they had in their midsts, remnants of bush meats begging to be let free by a tooth-pick.

The bandits chucked Jill out of the carriage, one by one they slip off her adornments, and rings in which her wedding ring was one of them, she stood effortlessly like a lamb,

Edgar strapped his hands about her waist, Jill flinched when she felt a hand creep on her waist, her heart pulsated louder than a wooden drum, a feeling of fright impounded in her.

"I have given you all I have got, Jill said. what else do you want?." She winced.

Edgar fell into a laughter that sounded coarse, he glanced around quickly at all his men.

"Maybe for a fellow lady, you have given everything.

But adornments aren't the only thing a lady can give a man."

Jill wrestled in his arms to break free, probably, she got an idea of what they meant by adornments aren't the only thing a lady can give to a man.

Edgar strengthened his grip, and the rest joined effort to aid, taking jill into the woods.

******In burckingham*******

At a tower in the Bailey in burckingham stood a charming young man, Grendel Gardner, he was a castle regulator,

his job was to sound the bells fixed on the castle towers during an emergency, and to also regulate activities in the castle.

he had done about that on one of the towers close to the first Bailey and was about leaving , before he spotted by accident, four men about to drag a lady into the woods.

Grendel was uncertain about what was happening, is she defenceless, or is she being persecuted for using socerey, or maybe she is one of the unnaturals. Considering the rampancy in the killing of such people.

Every week in britian, a homicide is committed this year (1677), due to hormophobia, the fear of the the unnatural humans, socerers, necromacers majorly.

Grendel took a few minutes to observe the picturing, he saw a carriage without a horse, four men with mattocks, if they were about to persecute an unatural he or she wouldn't be dragged into the woods, it wouldn't be done in a secluded place.

Since the law legalizes the killing of an unatural in britian.

the only story it told was, the lady is in trouble.

Grendel had a unique way of getting over the castles walls, he unstrapped his belt, and jumped off the tower.

He hung on a clothesline with his belt, mid-air, his body dangled, and he waited Patiently until he had control over his body. He stopped dangling.

With the belt tied unto the clothesline, Grendel rode along it until he reached the end that was attached to the Bailey.

He jumped onto the Bailey's wall and climbed down from the wall with a rope.

He ran towards Jill and the bandits immediately.

____________________

Grendel got there in a jiffy, Jill was almost dragged into the woods, she wrestled with the bandits, that delayed taking her into the woods on time.

But it drained all of her strength, wrestling,

she was now left with none to spare, and left to the bandits to do with her whatever they will.

"Foolish bandits, trying to rob a weak lady.

What carwodice!" Grendel said to the bandits, who weren't looking his way, but were onto dragging a lady into the woods.

They all turned towards Grendel after hearing his voice.

Now they had something to worry about, and wouldn't have a double mind eliminating it.

Edgar who had Jill in his arms, left her.

He walked up to Grendel standing before them, but was utterly away.

"Go home boy, he said.

You don't want us to descend on you." He added.

"I recommend you go back to your dirty home, the woods.

Unless you want me to take it out on you." Grendel said.

Grendels words didn't seem mature as his appearance was, but it never had an effect on it not being so insulting to Edgar.

Edgar wiped his lips with his hands, and looked down towards the ground, it looked as though he tried to compound the insult, inwardly he never tried but burned with rage.

"The woods as our home is desirable, than be thrown into jail by your stupid king." Edgar said.

Grendel scoffed disdainfully.

"You know. ___Grendel pointed at Edgar __

People perish due to lack of knowledge, ___he kept moving back and forth as he talked___

We all know very well that, banditry could precipitate a man's death.

Still, some prats, choose to do it.

They choose to make a pratfall of living in woods, and being a pariah in their own native land, what a shame."

"You have have crossed the line son." Edgar said.

"Please help me mister, they are trying to kidnap me." Jill pleaded , sitting sideways in her gown on bare ground, she was free for Grendel had the bandits attention taken away from her for the time being.

They all gathered before Grendel, smacking their mattock against their hands, a sign they were all annoyed, and wouldn't hesitate in hurting Grendel a lot.
