Reysha sat on a tree stump with a sullen face. She doesn’t want to doubt the band of bandit abilities. In fact, she is bewildered by their ability to easily seduce a maiden. She is glad that her interest in romance is good as none.
“They are useful on their own merit. It’s odd how each one of them has their own perks and skills besides their pretty faces. What’s left for me to do is to know each and every single one of them to fully utilize them to the fullest.” she said to herself as her mind enters a deep thought.
“Then… I wonder what kind of ability or skills Camille…err… Falikh has…? Reysha said asking herself the unanswerable question.
Her line of sight shifted towards the blue sky and breathed a sigh.
Curiosity ran through her head as she thought why did such people turn into bandits in the first place. If they have skills and the appearance to lead a good life, why would they choose a life where there are risks and hardship?
“Oh my, so you are the little lady that arrived yesterday?~” a voice entered Reysha’s ear. She already knows that there was someone there but she didn’t mind it.
As she look towards the source of the voice which came from the forest towards the second shack, a tall man with brown wavy hair that was combed neatly, brown gentle eyes and a mole under his lips. Unlike everyone else, this man carries his self with beau and elegance and his clothes are decent or to be more precise, it’s fashionable.
“Who the hell are you?” Reysha lightly snaps at the man.
“Fufufu, what a cute and lively girl!~” he said as he walks towards Reysha.
As the man said, his steps stops right at front of Reysha. He looks at her with discerning eyes moving his head from top to bottom.
His hand suddenly moved towards Reysha’s hair and brushes it downward. He inspects the tip of Reysha’s hair and after nodding to himself several times, he let go of it. His hand then reaches for Reysha’s chin as he crouches down to get his face closer to hers.
After nodding for several times again, his hand suddenly picks up Reysh’a hand and checks her palm and nails by flipping it several times. After more several seconds, he let go of it and smiles.
“Hey, you have a good reason for doing those things, right?” Reysha said menacingly as she glared at the man who inspected her.
“Of course, sweetie!~ You’re so adorable that I want to dress you up! It seems you’ve taken good care of yourself, unlike a normal petty royalty or nobles.” the man said.
“That didn’t make sense at all. Who are you?!” Reysha’s asks the identity of the man again.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
“I’m sorry for being rude. My name is Mikael, you can call me Mika. I am the fourteenth member.” Mika said as he brushes his own hair back and smiled.
“However, even with all these cute features that you have, you seem to be lacking at bodily aspects. Like how small and immature you are. You don’t have much volume in your chest too, right?” He added as he his points at Reysha’s figure, specifically her breasts.
“What I have right now, I am satisfied. It’s enough for me to be decently dressed and hygienic.” she countered Mika.
“What a shame.” He said as he places his hand on his jaw.
“Wait a minute… are you… a gay?” Reysha asked with a realization on her face.
“Oh my, that’s quite a harsh way to put it but it’s not something I can deny.” Mika confirmed.
“What are you doing here…? I mean…what do you do around?” Reysha queried to Mika as she stands up.
“Me…? I am the specialized fashion designer, although, I still haven’t done anything in particular yet but I can assure you that I am good with disguises.” Mika answered with confidence.
“………”
“What might it be, Little Reysha?”
“How in the world did you ended up here?!” Reysha frantically asked as her curiosity peaks because of the gathering of several talented people in such group.
“How you ask? It was Little Falikh that invited me. Goodness, the man is such a trouble maker.” Mika said with a nostalgic face.
“…Why does it feel like everyone in this band is gathering together because of Falikh…What the hell happened to Falikh anyway?!” Reysha questioned again as her poise crumbles.
“Oh my, it’s not really a secret among us. More like, it is a story that everyone knows and laughs at occasionally. Do you want to know about?” Mika said with alluring voice.
“Spit it.” she simply returned.
“Before that, do you know that among everyone here, at the Mesola Kingdom, Falikh has the highest bounty on his head because he is the most known wanted criminal… We as his companions are even treated as nameless due to his infamy in that kingdom.” Mika said with a grin.
“How much does he even have…?” Reysha timidly asked.
“He just has a bounty of three hundred thousand gold, an additional reward of a land and a title. Those amounts are no joke that you can buy and fund for your own firm.” He said brightly.
“That much?! How in the hell did he even accumulate so much amount of bounty in his head?!” Reysha strongly exclaimed from what she heard from Mika.
“Fufufu. Falikh seduced the queen of Mesola Kingdom together with the first, third and fourth princesses. He also seduced several noble women and royalties. He then started leeching them off and started living a comfortable life. You can say that Falikh is the talk of all women everywhere in the Mesola Capital.” Mika told Reysha with an expectant face.
“Wait… however you see it… that’s not enough for him to accumulate such bounty…” Reysha said.
“You’re right. But that’s not the only absurd thing that he did…” Mika paused as he holds his mouth with his hand to still a laughter that is about to burst out.
“What…?!” Reysha asked impatiently.
“Ahahaha…..! It’s just that…! The most dreadful thing Falikh did was… playing a prank on the King of Mesola kingdom! He did so many atrocities to the king and one is shaving his beard clean while sleeping! Ahahaha! He even drew fake mustaches on the king!” Mika said as his laugh becomes louder.
“Haa…. What is Falikh anyway…” Reysha just sighed.
“Oh? Little Reysha, you still don’t know what is Little Falikh is?”
“No…what is he…?”
“He is…”
“………”
“Falikh is the son of the previous king of Mesola Kingdom and a known genius tactician that led their Military forces to victory against the beast kingdom in the far south when he was twelve years old.” Mika said with a serious face.
