Book 2 - Chapter 14: Lailah meets Ja Lia!

"Where are you taking us?"

Ja Lia asked. It's been quite a while since they'd been walking through the market square. They had firstly stepped off the ship then they'd started off towards the village.

In the first place, Ja had no exception to it since he was very much alive, as well as the lady with him. And by the way, they had nowhere to live.

The ride on the sea had been perky experience but he wouldn't want to go again.

Poseidon had an eye on him. He could feel the eyes tearing his skin open.

Though the lady knew a part of it, but he was sure that she didn't understand the gist of it all.

"The King's Palace of course. Or do you think I have some wasted house to spare?"

The bare-chested fellow picked on him. Twas a time for a payback. He had been picking on Ja since they started the walk, but he had been keeping his calm. Twas matter-of-factly not his town.

Ja looked briefly at the guy and looked away.
