8. don't judge a book by its cover

POV: vile

“I’ll take your guys silence has a no. I chuckled.

I dodged around the orcs and made it to where the guards were, the orcs behind me stood still for a while and then crumpled to the ground with each of their heads falling off. The guards looked at me with wide eyes. I laughed a little.

“I got a little carried away I guess, I saw that you were being attacked so I thought I would lend a hand.

A man came out from the group following a girl with light silver armor; the man had a great build to him. He wasn’t all muscle but it was enough that showed he was strong. The girl was very beautiful; she looked around maybe the age of a teen. Her chestnut hair curled down onto her silver armor. She had a strong aura to her that had me on guard a little but she wasn’t a threat. The girl looks at me curiously.

“I am princess Yana of the Vermont kingdom, may I ask who you are child.

“Hello Yana I am…..

“It is princess Yana to you! Show some respect you brat the man beside her said.

“Clarsus!

“I am sorry princess I was only trying to educate the brat.

“He is only but a boy clarsus, now young one as you were saying.

So these are humans who killed off my kind, they seem stupid. The one called clarsus will be killed but for now I would like to see if I can use these things.

“My name is vile.

“Why are you out here alone, Do you not know its dangerous on these roads?

I giggled at the girl; she said it’s dangerous when I’m the only real danger out here. It was pretty ironic if you think about it.

“Princess as you have seen earlier that I am more than enough to handle myself out here. I was on my way to the capital actually before I stumbled upon you escort being attacked.

“Where are your parents?

“They died a year ago. I was taken in by my master who trained me until a couple of days ago when he had no more to teach me, so he said go out and explore the world around you!

“I see, and I’m sorry for your lost I didn’t mean to open old wounds.

“No need to be sorry you didn’t know.

Humans must be really stupid if they think some random kid can just kill an orc because he said some unknown master taught him. I thought I would have to kill everybody here in a game of tag like I did those bandits, I guess luck is on your side princess….or not since you meet me.

“Would you like to ride with us to the capital? We are just a half days away, and father would be pleased to meet the one who gave us aid.

“Sure. I said.

The next day, around midafternoon we arrived in front of massive walls of the capital. We was let through without hesitation seeing as it was the princess and all. The capital was very big and people were out and about everywhere. Humans who were yelling trying to sell these things or human going in and out of shops, people waved and smiled at us and by us I mean the princess as we moved through the streets. We made it to a castles and its gate and was brought in. maids where waiting for us as we stepped out the carriage.

“Princess welcome home, the king wishes to see you. The maid said before bowing.

“Thank you, vile come on I want you to meet father!

I followed her through the halls of the castle. During the ride to the capital the princess asked me a bunch of questions like, why is my hair white, and that I have scary eyes, or how I get so strong at a young age. I told her it was the color of my mother’s hair and that my master taught me all I knew on how to fight. After that I stayed quiet the whole way.

We reach two big brown doors guarded by men in blue plated armor, one of them opens the door and we entered. A man is sitting on a golden chair, he had grey hair and piercing blues eyes much like the princess. His eyes showed wisdom and years of hardship.

“Ah my beautiful Yana has returned and has brought a friend, who might he be? A secret lover that you have been hiding away.  Hahahahahaha.

“Father the princess cheeks turned red. His name is vile and he helped fight some orcs and saved my life!

The king’s face turned serious and looked at me.

“I will hear about the report later, thank you vile for saving my daughter I shall reward you for your deed.

A maid comes out and gives me a bag field with gold coins, I had a lot of theses in the ring but I didn’t want to be rude.

“Thank you, do you know a great place a traveler like me can stay in town?

“I can’t let the boy who saves my daughter life stay in some inn, you will stay here in the castle as long as you are in the city.

That is exactly what I wanted, later that night I was in the room that a maid had lead me to. I put runes over the room for my protection and so no one can here what’s going on. I summon a couple of wasps, black void rifts open in the middle of the room as four wasps fly out. I put a rune of concealment on them. I walked toward the window and tell them to hide and watch the city for anything I might find important. They fly out into the night buzzing quietly.

POV: princess Yana

His hair was whit as snow and his eyes put me in a trance if I stared at them for too long. Vile was a mystery that I needed to solve. He was only just a boy but could kill a group of orcs easily; I could only wonder how strong his master would be. I shivered just thinking about it, but after father read the report he called me to his office

Knock, knock

“Enter

“You summoned me father.

“Yes Yana, how are we going to use that brat you brought into our home. I can already feel the castle getting dirty by every minute his here.

“Don’t worry daddy I will make him fall in love with me as I did Clarsus and make him join our army. I smiled brightly at him

“Hahahaha, that’s my princess a schemer just like your old man!
