Reborn princess: I will change my ill-fate - 163 chapter 163.
Well, they already got fooled by this little princess, who came bragging all the way that she is here with her brother, because of which, they needed to be extra cautious and had many back up men, as they thought special knights from Rutz house may join in this fight, making it hectic on their end.
So, he began to doubt whether they were drugged for real or not, as he couldn’t totally trust that old man, even though they held ladies in his family as hostages. After all, that old man is also a citizen of this seazle empire, then how can black pawns totally trust someone of their enemy’s place? Only a fool would.
The path through the front door is filled with hindances. Many bodies were scattered along the path of front door, which included many guards and priests who protected the temple and managed it till this day with peace and gracefulnrds around here.
Blood was spattered all around in this highly valued temple. But that passway inside the temple is now filled with dead bodies, which needed to be cleared yet. This temple got attacked last night, exactly after the inspection from Royal guards of the Royal house in city shelter. Since it is a tourist spot, this temple got regular inspections every few days and got a little tight security.
Black pawns ambushed the temple and killed every single person came to their sight, not leaving a single living breath inside. They never expected Aeinshia to reach her destination this early, and thought the first thing she does after coming to city shelter is to take rest at Royal house like as usual.
However, unlike how she regularly does and work out her plans, she unexpectedly visited the temple for the first thing, disrupting their original plans and made them rush at last minute. They somehow managed to send Nathan outside hurriedly, and told him to stall sometime outside, which he is successful doing. They still need sometime to perfectly set their traps, to let their work continue smoothly.
…..
Aeinshia felt like throwing up, she is feeling all dizzy and nauseous. Everything seemed blurry, her senses becoming numb with each passing second. This temple always had a silence filled in it, but, that silence always had a calming effect in it.
However, today, the same temple, yet everything felt unfamiliar here. The eerily silence the air carried around here felt like lifeless. This is sending chills down her spine. She couldn’t differentiate whether that reaction is because of her frenzy mind or it’s because something really is wrong with this place, but she could tell that something is not right here.
Not only Aeinshia, those trio warriors too had a similar reaction to this. Compared to all others, the drug had a high toll on Sana, as she is the one who drank the grape juice nectar at last, completing the whole bottle, in taking all the accumulated drug on the bottom of the bottle.
Having a highly effective drug, she began to have delusions earlier than others, her head felt like spinning around. It’s her dark past, which she tried to suppress deep within her heart. She thought everything is better now that she is leading a happy and cheerful life, but now those delusions surfaced the bitter memories inside her head, which she never intended to remember. The memories of her young self when she is in a slavery dungeon.
Yes, she was rescued by Alexander when she was escaping from the hands of her master, not master exactly, as she ran away on the same day when they bought her for few bronze coins.
She don’t remember the faces who bought her with few bronze coins nor the people who kidnapped her to turn her into a slave, but she never could forget that dark dungeon. The darkest place which never wishes to visit ever again, the only place she feared of most, which never had a single ray of sunlight in it like not letting a single ray of hope in those captive children down there, which prisoned many children and sold them for few coins of profit.
Those people were heartless, beats children whenever the children didn’t do the assigned work nor not listened to them. No proper was given to then nor proper clothing.
‘ Maybe, being taken as a slave might have given to those poor little children some freedom and hope, ‘ that’s how many of the children thought inside the dungeon, forgetting, that every one got the same right to live and should have righteous right to everything. No one is allowed to deprive one’s freedom.
Till this day, that dark dungeon left a deepest scar inside little Sana’s heart, leaving her in a trauma who is afraid of darkness. It was because of their greed, she was parted from her family and till today, she doesn’t know who is her birth parents. Not like she remember her parents face or anything, but there is some part in her heart, which always made her wonder and wanted to know about her family.
She wants to know, how they would react, after having a reunion with their long gone missing daughter. She don’t know how they treated her, but her heart always td that, they mist have surely loved her and cared alot about her. She really wondered, what might have they hone through after realising their daughter went missing.
Till this day, she could remember how she parted her way away from her mother in a market. Yes, those b*stards kidnapped children and sold them for money. Child slavery and adult slavery was high back those days, as the empire is also in chaos back then. In particular, no one followed rules and had not even an ounce of fear for the emperor as the emperor is still inexperienced and just a puppet of court officials, doing as they wished and liked. There is no law and justice here, except greed for money back then.
Sana held her head in pain. She felt like her head might blow up, and got a splitting headache. She couldn’t understand what’s going around her, as her steps staggered and went on stumbling on her own foot.
Snapping from her sad memories to reality, she heard a loud scream following it.
Ahhhh~~~
Following that, everyone turned their head to the voice origin, only to find George flying in the sky upside down, while a rope is tightly tied to his leg, taking him high into the sky.
” Ah~ Oliver, Sana, ah~ look here, I am flying in the sky. Woah~ I can fly in sky now like a bird, ” George shouted at top of his lungs in excitement, as he felt it as an amusement ride, while his whole body was dragged high into sky, with a rope drawn over a tree.
Amidst his happiness, a doubt stuck his head, following that, he voiced them out in confusion, ” Did I got wings? But how? Doesn’t humans have no wings? ” As soon as this doubt stuck his mind, realisation got into his head and saw exactly what was happening.
He scanned around the surroundings, and saw few people dressed in black pulling a rope, exactly along the tree. Even though, the drug got it’s effect on him, it doesn’t mean he can’t at the least process what are those men in black were doing and he knew, he was the person who fell into their trap now.
He looked down to check upon Princess Aeinshia. All of them had an eye contact with George, however, what happened next second made George to gouge his eyes out in shock. The boy who guided them into the temple earlier is now running towards Oliver with a knife in his hands. Shock filled his eyes.
Both Sana, Oliver and including Aeinshia, everyone stared in awe at George who is flying in the sky.
All stood there like statues, not understanding why he is flying in sky all of a sudden.
” Oliver, watch out, ” George shouted again, this time louder than before, as he saw Nathan forward towards Oliver with a killing intention in his eyes.
” Oliver, behind you. Dodge right, ”
George shouted again, afraid his dearest friend might get hurt. He might be cold towards Oliver and always acted strict with him, but that was all because he got a brotherly sentiment with Oliver.
Even today, he wouldn’t have joined in this trip, if it wasn’t because of Oliver escorting the princess. He knew, dangers always linger around imperial family members and he is here not only to protect the princess, but also his friend.
” Ah~~ Ah~~~” Oliver screamed in pain.
