The sound of horses and rattling wood accompanied a convoy of a fancy carriage escorted with 12 horses moved through the road in the middle of a grass plain. With rows of mountain in the distance.

“Sis… are you sure you want to go? These peasants don’t even have a bath… do you really want to see this… waterfall was it? Why don’t we just play hide and seek at the castle?” A longhaired blond teen girl wearing a grey dress with accessories decorating her shaked the girl next to her worriedly “It’s much safer in the castle…”

Her sister, a ponytailed teen girl, grinned excitedly “Oh come on Villian, we have knights with us. We’ll be fine… we might not know if there’s a bandid targeting us like the last time we went outside…”

Villian couldn’t respond to that as their last trip went smoothly, only when they were back at the castle and sneaking out did they overhear one of the guards telling a maid of a bandid attack that they removed stealthily.

Villian grabbed her sister hand and squeezed it tight. She responded by grabbing Villian’s back.

Suddenly the carriage shakes and tilted to the back right. The sisters were thrown to the corner. They screamed in surprise. “What happened?!” Villian asked worriedly.

“AN ATTACK! PROTECT THE- AGHA!” A man screamed outside the carriage. Followed by a thud and the neighing of horses.

“THE CAPTAIN IS DEAD! FIND THE ATTA-“ a splooching sound could be heard followed by another thud.

The patern was repeated for a few minutes. A screaming then a thud. Villian started crying while her sister hugger her tight. Then silence.

“Is… is it over…”

“Princess Alicia… please hold tight…” A voice comes from the backside of the carriage, outside. Villian’s sister, Alicia immediately hugged her sister tighter. “we still don’t see our attacker… I’m the only survivor… I swear I’m getting you back sa-“ Thud.

“No you don’t” A young man’s sound could be heard from behind the carriage. “princess I advise you to leave the carriage with your hands up… if you don’t want me to set it on fire…”

They froze up and whimpered on each other’s arm. “P-Please… I can give-“

“Don’t care… get out or get burned… I’m going to count to two… one…”

The eldest sister Alicia, hugged her sister one last time before gesturing her to stay here. She got up. “Okay! I’m going!”

“Bring your sister too,” The assailant replied, bored.

“Please-!” Alicia tried to bargain one last time, this time while choking on her own tear.

“Don’t care… get out now...” The sound of a rapidly encroaching fire filled the room, followed by the sudden increase in temperature. The sisters yelped, Alicia grabbed her sister’s hand and ran outside with their eyes closed.

“that’s not so hard now is it?” A voice could be heard next to them. They jumped back in horror. As they scanned the figure. Hooded, with a white metallic-looking mask holding a revolver in his hand and a sniper rifle in his back.

Alicia stepped in front of her sister. “Please leave her alone! I’m the heir! I’m more useful to you! Please just leave her alon-“ Her word cut off as she suddenly screamed in pain before twitching on the ground.

“Do you really have to scream though?” Villian rushed to her sister. Realizing she passed out she shielded her sister with her body as she glared dagger at the assailant that’s now pointing his revolver at the sisters.

“Who are you?!” Villian screamed, tears rushing past her face her hand shaking.

“Glass bullet of the makeshift monsters”
