Taking care of things

Thena heard what Thia had said and it somehow made sense why Gor was strong and why she didn't want to go close to him for any reason. The aura he was emitting definitely has to come from having a curse, that will explain everything. After Gor had killed Kir, he looked at the girls and they both felt a shiver down their spine,

"don't worry I won't attack you" he said as he suddenly felt weak and sat down.

"That drains me alot" he said with a sigh

Thia walked up to him and asked if he was ok and Gor nodded.

"So, how are we going to clean this mess up detective?" Thia asked Gor.

"I think I have an idea who the real culprit behind the whole killings is..." Gor said

"Yes we get it detective, it's the Lord over Miaan, this guy definitely work for him, we saw him with Lord Fancy pants when he visited the camp". Thena said

"Oh.. so he's Lord Dew's personal guard uhn?"

"Then the killer has to be a member of their family..". Gor thought

"Why don't you guys let me handle it, leave the..."

"Ok, Thia cut him off, we don't want to get involved anyways."

"Yea, you can go back to the camp, I'll clean everything up after resting for a bit." Gor assured them

"Do you think we would trust... "Thena tried to complain but Thia dragged her hand and started walking away.

"Ok, let's go Thena"

"Stop ordering me around and stop cutting people off when they are talking" Thena retorted

"We need to get your wound checked" Thia said.

"Stop ignoring me" Thena said as she unwilling followed Thia

As they both left Gor knew this won't be the last time they would meet, although he was looking forward to meeting them again, he was sad at what that would mean. The next time they met, they would be enemies.

"Now let's also clean up" Gor said after resting for a while.

The girls got back to the camp and seeing the state they were in Naima asked them what happened and they narrated everything to her.

"So what do you think about the boy?" Thia asked after narrating everything.

"I think you should have taken him out when he was weak" Naima said.

"He could jeopardise everything and you could have made it look like the monster or even the guard did it".

"Yea we could have done that Thia said, but I think if we had tried to kill him he would have killed us first."

"What do you mean? He was already weak after using the curse of his..." Thena said

"Yes you're right but I think if he was backed to a corner, he would have gone into destructive mode destroying everything within his surrounding, us included". Thia explained

"How are you sure that would happen?" Naima asked.

"This a bit weird, but I had the thought of attacking him when he was down and I sensed nothing but death, both mine and Thena's" Thia replied

"Yea it's weird, but coming from you not so much Thena replied. I don't know exactly what is up with you, but there is something off about you and sometimes it freaks me out". Thena said.

Naima had her own thoughts about Thena's uncanny sense especially when someone's live was in danger, but until she uncovered the truth she would keep things to her self.

"You girls don't worry, just focus on the princess, she'll be coming for he visit anytime from now, you girls should prepare and get ready to leave with her, as for the boy, I'll report things to Nori and he will deal with it, Ok?" Naima said and both girls nodded.

The day went by as all parties had thought and the princess finally visited the camp an hour after the girl's arrival. She had brought alot of aid's for the refugee and had even visited Naima and her baby personally. She saw Thia and Thena and was touched by their story, she was even excited to take them to the capital with her so they can have a more comfortable life. After the girls had put on an award winning performance on how they would hate to leave Niama, Nori and the baby alone, they finally agreed to be part of the kids to follow the princess making it seem like they were genuinely a happy family. Amongst everything that was happening, Thia noticed two things. One was That despite all his attempts to hide it, Lord Dew was a bit distracted and absent minded making Gor's guess spot on, and The dark skin guard behind the princess gave her a kid of creepy feeling like she got from Gor, if not even worse.

As she was staring at the guard, the lady faced Thia and gave her a smile that sent the chill of a whole ice covered mountain behind her spine, causing Thia to look away immediately.

*******

After they had finished everything the princess finally returned to her lodge, where she had been staying for visit. Princess Lena Stareith Litinhn The first child of the Royal family was a gorgeous girl. She was just Eighteen years and her beautiful had began to show evidence since she was just four, making her the most sort out lady for every eligible bachelor in the whole of Omi. She had long blonde hair, taking the length from her mother and the color from her father's royal genes, her blue eyes made her royal standing more evident, since it was one of the royal features given the blessing that had been passed down to some members of the royal family since the beginning of the Omi Kingdom.

They had all been blessed by the God of lightning himself Sango. Princess Lena was in her room preparing for the feast being thrown in her honour in the Dew's Mansion. As she was preparing, a knock was heard and her personal guard since she was a child came in.

"Princess..." Ija bowed slightly once she entered the room.

"Hello Ija, hope you are preparing for the ball?" The princess asked. Receiving a silence as a response.

"Don't tell me you are going like..." The princess asked pointing at Ija's royal guard amour.

"Yes Princess I'm your guard, shouldn't I dress as such?" Ija replied

" Yes I Know but you can't follow me to a party like that, at least wear something that doesn't say stay away from me or I'll cut you down"

"I don't way anyone to come to close princess, lest, I cut them down" Ija replied

"You see? You are a beautiful woman Ija, but you scare everyone away with your whole demeanor" Princess Lena protested

"Please.., men are stupid, they are scared of any woman that has even the slightest advantage over them" Ija replied.

"Well it's not always like that" the princess said as she approached Ija. As she stood in front of the guard both of them bursted into laughter.

Despite the princess being a top notch beautiful, and a Royal one, there was one thing apart from he status that had always made men intimidated around her, and it was her height, she was just eighteen and was about 6'6 tall, making her taller than most men. A trait she had gotten from her grandfather, Zeal Kindel.

After the princess had had their fill of laughter they finally got into serious business.

"So did you find out what Lord Dew was hiding?" The princess asked.

"Not really, but I have an Idea what it is".

"So, spill.."

"There seems to be several cases of people missing here and there all over Miaan and I did the little investigation that I could and I found nothing".

"So....."

"Yes that's it, it's all too clean for something that has been going on for over two months, so I'm thinking someone very powerful is behind everything..." Ija said

"Oh, someone as powerful as Lord Dew". Princess Lena replied.

"I questioned one of their maids today and she said the only weird thing that had happened in the Mansion was that they hired more people frequently, it's as if they always need more maids..." Ija explain

"That's quite weird, it's not as if their workers quit everyday.... "The princess widened her eyes as she put two things together. Hiring more workers was not a bad or weird thing but hiring more workers almost every time would have to do with one of two things, either the Lord or a member of his family is an ass, causing their workers to quit everyday or there are in some other way running out of workers.

"So Lord dew has got a skeleton in his cupboard, do you think he's kidnapping people and selling them into slavery..." Ija asked

"It might be, but why... They are quite rich already and their place in court has been getting solid as time goes on, why would they ruin everything just to get something they already have plenty of". The princess mused.

"Maybe greed..." Ija said

"I doubt that, Lord Dew is a smart man, a bit jumpy, but smart, he won't tarnish his Image with slavery, especially one this sloppy. There's something more going on..."

"Ija, I need you to look into someone."

"Who Princess..."

"Larry Dew... I've not seen him since I came here and that's another weird thing given most Lords like to flaut their sons in front of me for a possible match."

"Are you sure it's not just because this is the first time someone is not doing that and it's making you feel angry"

"O please...". The princess rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry princess I'll get on with it". Ija said and she left the the room.
