Chapter 21.2
"HOW CAN I make sure that you are telling the truth?" said the Verdantes in front of me, making sure. Both of us were sitting on the chair by the table, facing each other.
This is the first time we have met without slitting each others' throat. Things like this were paradoxically bound to happen whether we want this or not. This is noble of me knowing how he was indebted to me with all of his conniving deeds with the people of our kingdom. If not for him then I would have no reason to seize the auction business of those scum. The weapons that he would let me buy from them will also be the ones that will cripple their feet.
I laughed at his question, treating it like a joke.
"Do you really need to make sure?" I asked as the smile on my face disappeared. "Perhaps you have to be reminded who you are talking to right now? Should I, Dardo?" I added, blankly looking at his direction.
'Your life will be at stake if you refuse my wonderful offer. My patience

I GENTLY shove the curtain that was made of small crystals. It created a soft sound but it did not bother the men around the place who were watching as the women danced sensually on the stage. I was at the auction hall wherein there were women performing at the stage as a part of their program before the actual event. The auction itself. It was a place made of a large sailcloth to accomodate people who wanted to participate in the auction. This was located at the center of the discoteque.I fixed my hair and slightly smiled at the gentleman beside me. He stared at me for a moment and while he was at it, he shamelessly eyed my being as if wanting to lavish me. I was dressed like a noble like him, perhaps that is the reason why he was attracted to my charm. I removed my stare at him and just focused on the women that were performing on the stage.

"Let us start with ten gold coins," said the man on the stage followed by his low laughter. He even raised his hands in the air, looking like he was counting something. Beside him was a beautiful woman dressed in clean white clothes.I just glared at that and averted my gaze towards the area. When Altas' eyes and mine met, I nodded and signed him to start the plan. I took a long and deep breath before leaving the place. It is the start.I went to the darker part of the place where creatures seldomly walked and removed the fancy dress I was wearing earlier and replaced it with my combat robes that were underneath the dress. Lastly, I put the cloth that I would use to cover my entirety of my face aside from my eyes.I carefully climbed up the roof of the rooms that were surrounding the auction hall. Some of my comrades are there, waiting for me to drop the mark to start their assigned tasks for tonight. Matias threw me my sword, good thing I got my reflexes

"Aliara!" I heard Matias shout behind me. He quickly ran in front of me to accept the blow and protect me from the blow that was supposed to hit me from an opponent in front of me that I did not notice.I just slowly looked at him, my mind was everywhere except for the happenings around me. This is not good."Be alert, will you? We are in the middle of a fight!" he said with a louder voice.I blinked my eyes, fixed myself and lifted my sword again, aiming to attack. One last look at Sevasti who was still in a fight with someone in the nearby place where I stood with Matias. He was fighting my enemies.Matias held me on the arm and dragged me forcefully by the side. Because if not, I would have been badly injure

"Pardon?" I said with shock visible in my face. I laughed after a while and said, "Perhaps you are out of your mind. Do you think I will agree on marrying a kid like you?" I said, amazed in his guts to say those words. I looked at Matias while giggling. "Have you heard what this kid says?" I said with a mocking expression as I turned my look again at the kid."I did not say I am going to marry you now. When I come of age, you were the one I chose to marry," he said directly to me, sounding so arrogant with his little body standing in front of me."Chose," I snorted, emphasizing the word. "Do you even know me to say those things?" I added as I crossed my arms on my chest. "Sure. If for example that you are at the right age to marry me, do you think that you can easily get the hand of a princess like me?" I said, grinning.

I ATTACKED first but my eyes widened when suddenly, my movements got slower. I saw a glimpse of a grin on his lips until it grew bigger to a wider smile. I know that power of his, he can manipulate the time but there is a limit. The time that he could go slower was limited. It can drain all of his accumulated strength if he is not strong enough to handle this power. Also, he cannot control people with it such as make them stop even for a little while.And at that limited time, I knew what he wanted. It was me. The leader of the group that tried to tear down his territory.He was the only one who could move fast for now. Or rather normally. It is just looking so fast because we are being slowed by his potential. My forehead creased as he ran past me and went where Sevasti was, charging as he prod his blade in the air.

"What happened after I went unconscious?" I asked again, talking about the attack, again. "Many of us have acquired injury and some of us were kissed by death," he said, lowering his head. I clenched my fist at what he said. "That prince..." he spoke again. "I will never forgive him," I said cutting his words as he trailed, looking for a better word to use. I wanted to know what happened to him after I became unconscious in front of him even though my heart is full of anger. It will be the opposite of what I said just now. Perhaps this is way better than knowing what happened to him because I will now consider him as a mistake. A phase in my life I would never like to repeat. "T

WHEN THE dark rose, we went to the open field part of our hideout where we would burn the bodies of our dead comrades. I stared at them as they put a blindfold on the four of them lying on the wood and stacks of straw that would be used as fuel to burn the bodies. They are surrounded by different kinds of flowers. Blindfolding is kind of a tradition for us. It is believed in our kingdom that we do that to the dead bodies so that they would not see anything that will distract them and head straight to their destination. This symbolizes that they cannot turn their heads back once they are set for the afterlife. After that, we kneeled directly to the ground and prostrated ourselves three times to pay our respect for their lives. My face is as blank as a paper so they cannot see any wea

When I opened my eyes again, I glared at my next opponent with utmost anger dwelling on my eyes. I ran towards the nearby tree and put a foot there as I jumped while attacking. The sword landed on his chest as I kicked the next one with my left foot which sent flying farther from us.I was fighting four of them at once so Matias went to where I stood to kill at least two of them."They were Idaho's men," he said.Our hideout was hidden in the depths of the woods in Kozania so I am amazed that they have found us. Perhaps the fire that was still burning as of the moment helped them and led them to where we are.I did not look at him and continue to fight the enemies that were in front of me. Fast and full of anger that is why I can easily defeat them in a swift move of my sword. I held the garments of one of my opponents and took him to the fire. He tightly held on my armto make an escape but I am stronger than him so I take no damage from what he had
