A slave wish.
Right next to his bed was lily's, where she sat down quietly thinking how to change this angry lion's mind. On the other hand Yutosai was locked on his pose thinking who just spoke with him. For the first time he felt scared by something. "Yutosai.." his thoughts vanished by her call. He turned back and looked at lily.
Looking at her pillow, an idea hit her head and she said in excitement forgetting everything that just happened "Hey! Yutosai listen".
"Mmmh...." mummered the boy.
"I want to say something... I wanted to tell you a long time".
"Say?" allowed the boy.
The girl giggled as she was bursting in excitement which turned the boy's head towards her puzzled what could it be.
"It is..." she repeated "it is... it is...".
"O.... say also!" shouted the boy getting impatient "chat!"
The girl laughed and said "it is my..... my wish".
"A WISH?" stunned Yutosai , sorry to border you but, can a slave girl have a wish? I mean we are here to just work and die.."
Lily smiled at this replying, "Yes, we can...All of us can. You, me and everyone in this room!. We all can have dreams and wishes. We are not useless. We are just trapped here mmm.....Well, somedays it will come true. Don't you think?"
It was a good hope from her except for Yutosai. Ha wasn't sure of this and chose to remain silent. Been a slave and then a wish? How ridiculous thing are going to be? all that came on his thoughts.
"So, don't you wanna know about it? asked Lily, bending to the boy who was an idol on his seat. Just a nod was his reply.
Turning beetroot out of embrassment, Lily exhaled and inhaled, calming her color down and spoke up, "I wish for freedom."
"AH!" shocked the boy out of his skin, "A...A.HAHAHA!" he burst in laugh by hearing this, "Hahaha!"
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY?" protested the girl, "what funny thing I said? Where did that childish cry of yours went? Did it turn into such an evil laugh?"
"AHEM...HAHA Uhm" coughed the boy, "I'm sorry but, that's the most crazed wish I have ever heard. Answer me my questions?"
"Yes?" puzzled the girl.
Who do you think will come to fulfill your wishes?
Who do you think will even cross his head to think that a slave here has got a wish?
Which fool will think we are even humans or living things to live?
Answer me these all in one word was the boy's aggressive marks.
Surprisingly, Lily was smiling in shine just like the way she did when the start of the topic. "What are you thinking?" puzzled the boy fearing the creepy look.
"I have it..." she spoke up "Lord Talius Bridge, the Half prince Deathlock"
"This was unexpected..." replied the boy in frustration.
"Have you ever heard of him?" She asked
"Nope, not much. I heard few rumors of Lord Talius Bridge, a very powerful guy with most powerful thing in handy but, never heard anything about Deathlocks." replied the boy accepting his failure in front of Lily's wish insulating.
"I myself don't know much..." smiled the girl, sticking out tongue which gave a bad shock to the boy dropping him off his bed.
"You serious!" he yelled climbing back and taking his seat.
"Mmm..." the girl nodded. The boy could only sigh. "But, I do have some information about the creatures called Deathlocks..." This caught the boy's attention.
