Bet! (2)

Mika was barely containing her laughter. Her eyes were watery, and her face was turned red from trying to stop any giggles from leaving her mouth.

When Braeden turn back to Mika, he saw this picture of merriment on her face and felt like a damn fool.

Seeking to teach Mika a lesson, Braeden continued his line of questions.

"Why did you want to find this tree?"

"Hahaha....to fix it." Mika couldn't hold the laughter in any longer.

"Fix it?"

"En." Mika smiled in his face.

Braeden turned to his men, to see the same expression on their faces as he was sure as on his. Since they too were made fun of, they wanted to get Mika back as well.

"Okay, fix it....but if you can't, you'll have to clean all of our boots!" Braeden showcased his dirty caky boots for Mika to see.

"Okay...but if I am able to heal the tree, you and all of the men under your control will belong to me....not Prince Ailwin."

Braeden looked at the Mika and laughed.

"Sure, sure. No problem."
