"Did I tied it right or did this dress designed to be this loose?" Yuina turns her body around in front of the mirror while tilting her head.
The robe-dress she uses is loose on her shoulder area and it showed her skin too much. Even though the last time is much more griever than now, still. She doesn't like to wear such a dress like this.
"Hmm..we can do something about it. Women in Onyx kingdom is known with their huge figure and tall. They all have men figure. That is why other kingdoms call them Viking." Kyra helps Yuina with folding the dress to fit on her body.
"I know about their figure. But, never that I thought one day I need to wear their dress like this." Yuina sighing. This time she's at ease a bit because Kyra was with her. And she knew Hayden will come and get her. Even though he might come late like before, she will try to buy time this time and fight along with them. Well, even though her skill is not good enough.
"Woman! If you have done, come out and go to the banquet now!" A rough voice startles both of them.
"Come on. We need to hurry up." Kyra pulls Yuina's hand out of the tent. To her surprise. Not only them who had been captured but few other girls from the village also there.
They dress up just like the two of them. Their face looks sullen, scared and teary. Kyra inhales for a moment before she exhales it using her mouth.
"Looks like we're gonna have to use our strength too, Yuina." Kyra turns to Yuina. Her eyes look angry, but she still nods to what Kyra said.
She was angry at how this soldier treats the villagers. They are supposed to protect their own kingdom and treat their own people with kindness. But this is too much! They kidnap the girl from that abandoned village so that they could get laid?!
She clenching her fist and inhale deeply before she exhales it slowly.
"We must protect these girls," Yuina said.
Kyra nod to an agreement. But..how do they plan to protect them all?
They walked to the banquet area and was forced to sit beside the soldier who is in the banquet. They rather look like a higher up soldier in this banquet tent.
There is a long table full of a delicious dish. Which the villager couldn't have and here they are, having a full dish on the table. The table is full of men with which wearing less armor suit. And at the end of the table, there is a man who looks younger and he had eyes fixed on Yuina when first they walk in the banquet tent.
"That red-haired girl, come here." The man said and waved his hand to Yuina.
Kyra almost jerking out, but Yuina holds her hand to make her stop and did not say anything unnecessarily. If before, she would cry and shout to let her go. This time, she will not. She needs to be brave.
She doesn't want to be the weak princess again. Slowly, she strode to that man at the end of the table. When she close to his side, he immediately grabs her waist and pushes her down to sit on his lap.
Yuina eyes turn darker. But she needs to act calm. All other girls also need to sit beside the other men in the banquet. They need to serve them alcohol and some of them request to be feed by the girl. Disgusting! Their eyes toward the girl show it was just lust fill in their head.
"You..what's your name? I never saw you before." The man asks her while caressing her waist.
"I..am new in that village. I just a merchant's daughter." Yuina creates a story. She slowly slid a hairpin from the end of her robe and slip it around her finger without him noticing it.
"Oh? From where? You have a beautiful face. Different from our country girl."
"I..from the north province." She said. Even though she might be always skipping her lesson in the castle, she used to hear Hayden instructing his soldier regarding the post. If this man guards the south of their kingdom, that means, he may probably never guard in the north area. And judging from his age, this area must be the first post he guarded. Unless he is someone with Captain Grey's capabilities.
"Hmph..no wonder." He grazes his nose around Yuina's neck. Sniffing her sweet scent.
…
"Farrell, follow me. Help the girls to go back to the village." Zane said and he takes the lead to walk in Onyx camp base followed by Hayden and Farrell.
The first person they encounter, Zane use his abilities to lift the man in the air and make him breathless.
"It is simple, Mr. Soldier. Answer my question and I release you." Zane start.
That man faces almost turn blue and he immediately nods his head.
"Who's in charge here?" Hayden asks when Zane make the man float in front of Hayden without him able to move.
"Li...Lieutenant Zeke." He stammering a bit when seeing Hayden's eyes turn darker and he could feel the cold air around him, biting every nerve in his body.
"Where's his tent?" Hayden asks again. The cloud above them starting to form a rumble and wind.
"The..the center of this camp. He..he had a banquet with the girls tonight."He turns even more scared when he noticed what happen around him.
"Where're the girls?"
"In…in the banquet tent."
Hayden then punches that man straight in the face making him immediately pass out.
"Zane. Put all of these men on the air. Except for that tent that the man said." Hayden gives instruction and within seconds, all of the man at the camp, one by one floating in the air and hang in there, unable to move at all.
The three of them then walk into the tent at the center of the camp. Hayden flips the flap and what's he saw then make him turn more furious.
Without any delay, he took out his sword and throw it to the end of the long table. Making all the men startle with sudden interruption.
Thud!
Yuina's head bump on the hard ground when suddenly the man who tries to kiss her neck flip his body around and they both fall after that.
"Darn it! Who dares interrupt my dinner?!" That man shouts in a loud voice.
Yuina, on the other hand, rubs her head a little. If she's not wrong, she did saw Hayden's sword flew pass them, she then lifts up her head and stares at the exact sword which is stuck at the wooden divider behind them.
"Hayden," Yuina said with a happy voice. Her eyes glowing with a thought that her knight finally here! Her Hayden just came right at the time this time.
The scream and gasping from the other girls make Yuina confirm there's someone inside the tent who helping them right now.
Once Zeke standing up, he twitches his lips a bit after seeing all his men on the banquet now floating in the air. Unable to move at all. His eyes then turn to the three men standing in front of him.
The girls from the village immediately following Farrell out from the tent leaving only the three of them and the girl who just arise from the ground.
"Who are you?!" Zeke asks with a cold tone.
"You took a wrong person to mess up with today," Hayden said and he looks at Yuina beside him.
"Prin...Zephy..come here." His voice turns soft when he talks to the girl beside Zeke.
Without waiting, Yuina runs to Hayden's side and hide behind his back.
"She..is your woman?" Zeke ask.
"This is a warning. Take the girls from that village again. I'll make sure your head will be delivered to your parents' house. Treat them equally or..you know your consequence."
"Tch!" Zeke clenching his fist. Nothing can he do right now. This man has put his people in the air, his equipment also was left in his private tent and he also can't make any attempt to him. Not yet.
Turning around, he takes off his robe and put in on Yuina's shoulder.
"Thunder beast, let's go." He said over his shoulder and his sword flew back at his hand before he slips it into the cover.
This makes Zeke tremble a bit.
'He…did he just…call his sword?! and..and that thing flew right at him? How is this possible??!'
After leaving the tent and arrive at the safe place, Zane releases all of the men who he put in the air back to the ground. His shoulder feels a bit sore and tired.
"Huh…no shit, this is tiring too huh, Skylark?" He talks to his bracelet.
Yuina blinks her eyes a few times. She is also a bit confused. First, Hayden calls out his sword, and now, Zane talks to his bracelet.
Is this two man's brain still intact?
