[Valia Grewsk P.O.V]
Today , me and my brother Tyrell went to the forest to find a Rosalfryn for our mom , a plant who can cure the fever .
We were from a blacksmith family, from what mom said the city of Olrik was a prosperous and everyone were having a happy life until the baron Tharan Hammerbon came .
He raised the tax , now we have to pay three time more than before . The guards now do what they want without being worried . The noble can do horrible thing as long they have money . With Hammerbon slave trade , he have a tons of gold in his safe chamber . He sell slaves across the region , the rumor say that all his slaves come from the group of bandits present in the region .
We walked for ten minute , we''re not far from the city so , it shouldn''t have any bandits around here.
Tyrell : " Hey sis look, isn''t that what we''re looking for ? "
He pointed his finger at a plant who seemed to be the one .
Valia : " Yes it is, let''s get couple more then we can go home ."
We took a couple and were ready to go home, I''m excited to see mom again it''s been two week since we saw her .
Walking in direction of the city , three guard come out of the bush and surrounded us .
Tyrell stood in front of me trying to protect me. Scared and surprised , I trying to know what is going on.
Valia : " What can we do for you, honorable knight ? " With a scared voice.
Guard #1 : "How about following us ? Hehehe. "
He was looking me with a perverted look . We have to run , I don''t want to end up like this . Mom need the plants .
Valia : " Sorry we have to go home . Please let us go . " I pleaded.
Guard # 2 : " Sorry girl , your father sold you to us , to repay his debt . Your mother was sold too ."
Tyrell : " You''re lying !! No way father will do that ! "
Guard # 3 : "Yet it''s true , we gonna have some fun with you like we did with your mama . Kekekeke. "
Valia : " No this can''t be happening."
I started to panic.
Tyrell rushed toward one of the guards trying to hold him down .
Tyrell : " Quickly Valia ! RUN!"
I run as fast I could and just in time to see Tyrell behind me, who was being overpowered by the guards .
I was running barely ten seconds before a guards catch up to me and knocked me out with a kick at my belly . I was projected at a tree before my conscious slowly faded .
[Mark P.O.V]
After getting rid of two group of bandits , Lusella returned to the cave. She expect me to keep the hunt going but I decided to catch up some sleep . But the freaking coffee prevented me to sleep for two hours , then I finally was able to sleep.
Hearing somebody calling me , I woke up , thinking it was Lusella .
Looking where the voice came , I saw three guy in armor probably guard , two of them holding respectively a girl and a boy .
Guard # 1 : " Hey you ! Wake up ! Tch, I thought the commander hired professional , these piece of trash can''t even do their job right . "
Oh, they think I''m a bandit . Well I did take their clothes because mine was dirty and I didn''t have any mask.
This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Mark : " Sorry , I didn''t sleep last night, too much action . " I said with a grin , not like they can see it.
Guard # 2 : *sigh*" Just take these two to the camp, they will know what to do . And don''t let them escape , they''re tied it should be easy ."
Guard # 3 : " And don''t damage the merchandise , we need to have some fun with them later . Kekeke."
Beurk , creepy as poop . Should I kill them ? Yeah, more stack for me .
Coming down of the tree , they threw the two kid at me . They are gagged , hands and legs tie . It seem that they expect me to carry them alone . The guards turning away , and walked where they came from .
Putting the two on the ground , I dashed at the guards while casting Lightning Chain . They realize it but it was already too late . The lightning already hit and cause them to shake like a leaf . I throw my hand backward to take as much momentum as possible and throw my punch at one of them like throwing a baseball. His nose is definitely broke , his teeths too . He flied couple meters away .
Spinning , I uppercut the other one , trying mimic a move that I saw in video game , but instead of fire coming out of my punch , I added a bit of lightning in it.
Mark : " Shoryuken! "
His jaw completely in pieces , he flied couple meters upward to finally crash down on the ground and vomiting blood .
Guard # 3 :" W-w-wait , why are you doing ? W-we''re allies ! "
He was so scared that he actually pissed at himself , the liquid was leaking from his pants and puddle of urine formed under him.
I shot a lightning ball at the puddle , instantly it goes to his groin and steam started to come out from it . Then I blasted his head with lightning ball .
After absorbing their soul , I returned to the victims , they''re awake now and seem to be afraid after the show I''ve done.
Now , what I''m going to do with them ? I can''t let them go now , because it seem that their kidnapping was planned . Meh , let''s just ask them .
I removed the gag on them .
Mark : " So , how did you guys get caught ?"
Valia : " We.... We were sold by our father ..." She said with depressing look .
Tyrell : " NO! That''s not true , they were lying !"
Mark : " Great! " I said in the same time .
Oups , I slipped my tongue . I mean if they were sold by their father , they wouldn''t want to go back to their home .
Tyrell : " What do you mean by GREAT ? "
He seem shock and starting to get really piss .
Mark : " I mean great for me since I don''t want you to go back home yet ,and it will be problematic for me . Oh yeah , less great for you two with that pussy ass dad, sorry . "
Tyrell : " What did you say you motherfucker !"
The boy keep shouting insult at me , but I couldn''t care less because I know what to do with them now.
I put back the gag on the lad. The girl seem more reasonable .
Mark : " As long you do what I say , I can guaranteed your safety . "
