Here there are

The guy stare at me like I said the terms and conditions his mother passed through while giving birth to him.

"Are... Are you serious?" he managed to ask.

I raise my brow at him. "Ask that question again and your head is off your neck"

He gulps again and raise his hands in absolute defeat.

"Now... Let's head back. Remember, betrayal, I hunt you down"

His eyes widen as I remove the knife from beneath his jaw and placed it back into he gadget. He leads me back to the others, Every now and then staring back at me probably I changed my mind to kill him before using him.

I can do it if I want to. But I need his help and he seems like he is suffering in this place.

"There they are. What took you so long?" The head of the guards asks immediately he catch a sight of both of us.

"I threw up everything I ate last night and it was a bit much" I say

I didn't lie, did I now? I really threw up everything I ate but not last night. For some days I haven't eaten anything. So with the others.

Which is unlike me cause I eat a lot but not everytime.

I wonder how I am still alive.

"He is in this room" the guard says, ignoring my explanation and I look at the other guy I threatened.

Forgot to ask of his name.

He is directly behind Mari anyway. Guess what I guessed was right, huh?

We enter the neatly and non-filled stench room, to see a very elderly man on a seat.

Wait.... How am I suppose to kill an elder?

Maybe he is also tired in ruling Perilous anyway, so I'll just make a cool deal with him through someone else around here.

"Sir... Here there are"

The man with a certain kind of eyes scan us very well with a frowny face. When his eyes lands on me, the frown becomes deeper and he asks

"Who are you? And why come to Perilous?"

"We are travelers that have come to rest in our capital before we leave" An Arab man says and the ruler eyes us. Me, to be specific, hysterically.

"Same goes for all of you?" he ask

"Yes" Ryan answers with Chloe fastly holding onto his arm.

I still don't know what happened between those two but it's like there's no need to know. As far they have that friendship between them, there's nothing for me to ask about.

"Well... We have a limited amount of rooms" he says and scan us again.

I'd stab his eye if I was nearer to him.

"The Arabs will have to share five rooms, do you agree?" he ask and the Arabs nods.

His eyes now settle on me and the rest in my team.

"Same goes for you" he says calmly.

We're ten in all so no problem, we will take it.

I nod faintly and he stare at me the more, his eyes becoming colder.

"Sihub, take them to their rooms... " he say and the guard that led us here nod and beckon on us to follow him.

"The girl with the black hair should please wait back" he says and the guards at each side obstructed the way of LiLi.

Leo looks back at her and she sighed and faced the ruler of Perilous. Just as she did it, the door of the room shut closed and the guard that'll lead them to their rooms asks

"Two per room. Start sharing yourselves"

Mari and Salient smiled at each other as Mari held the hand of Salient and Ryan tangled his fingers with those of Chloe.

The guards weren't surprised though, they already said they were siblings and engaged.

Felicity and Joe looked at each other but the pinkness of her cheeks is already predicting that they will stay with each other.

Leo nods slightly and turn to the guard. "I will wait until she finish with the ruler of Perilous"

"Call him Colonel... " the guard grits between his teeth.

Leo looks at Ryan. "You don't like him?" he asks the guard

The guard gave the other guard a signal and he call on the attention of the others apart from Leo.

"Get them to their rooms" he orders

Everyone followed him from behind. The Arabs shooting at Leo some glares that are unpredictable and deadly.

Oh Please!! Enough with the death glares, Leo thinks.

Felicity and Joe stares back at Leo and Leo nods with a faint smile.

They didn't worry. He have them covered.

They are all gone now and Leo is standing quietly with the other guard.

He spat a thick and yellow saliva out with a frown that can send the tongue of his own enemies to confess whatever they're planning against him.

"He is son of a b*tch. Got no regards, even for the people backing him up" he says

Leo's head is high and the guard stares into his eyes.

"He have been King for a hundred and six years now" Leo's eyes widen.

"I wish I can just kill him one day and let Eartheneous die. He refuse to die because he claims to be immortal... " the guard spits again and stare at Leo.

"Why did he call your girlfriend back?" he ask

Smoke emerged from the nose and ears of Leo.

"Girlfriend? She is not my girlfriend"

"Don't lie to me boy, your lips are pink"

Leo pulled his lip forward, maybe he can see what this man is talking about.

"The sign of her lips are on yours"

There's nothing on Leo's lips but the man is saying it like there is.

"Have you kissed her, dude?"

"That is none of your business"

The man laughs with a husky and silent voice as Leo rolls his eyes annoyed by the man's funny behavior.

When the laughter died down, Leo spoke up.

"We can help you kill him"

The man chuckled. Not doing things said is a disease, he thought.

"Oh really? And how are you going to do that?" he asks with an unbelievable tune.

"Know Milano?" Leo asks

The man's eyes widen as he stared up at Leo.

"He is alive?"

"The girl inside is his daughter" Leo says.

Oh crap.
