Was she hurt by my hesitation, or did she suddenly rember sothing hurtful? Sh*t, I had no experience with this sort of situationwhere do I even put my hands?
This bit of clumsiness didnt escape her eyes as she giggled amidst her sniffling. She lowered her head and without wiping off her tears, took a few steps back and said: Like this is fine, this distance is fine
As she said that, she continued her emotional roller-coaster of crying and laughing; however, she no longer tried to approach .
Was she belittling herself? I guess if a fat ugly chick were to force herself on I would want to kill myself as well. Even if Duran was handso, it still felt bad as long as it wasnt consensual.
Should I give her a hug and tell her its alright? Wait, that would make it sound like we had a special relationship though.and it sounded so hypocritical as well. Would I be any different from that bast*rd if I did that?
Besides I didnt even have a pee peewouldnt it make seem kind of immoral to talk about that stuff now?No that wasnt right, I ant to say, shouldnt I at least have so moral standards if I wished to start a harem? Ohwhy am I even talking about standards when Im trying to start a harem?! Damn it, could soone please tell what to do?!
However, in the midst of my delusions, the problem solved itself the mont Regine squeezed herself into our already small enough tent, and fell asleep without a word on my lap without her mask on. Was thisthe legendary lap pillow?
Regines hair felt slightly wet to the touch, she probably just took a bathdidnt she just take one three hours ago though? So why was her hair still wet? Did she take another shower again?
Speaking of which, she was a rather silent character most of the ti, but who knew that she could be so considerate at the right monts; to think she could do sothing so charitable. From her stiff body and twitching long eyebrows, I could tell that she wasnt that comfortable about this either.
However, after ten seconds of lying on my lap without being chased away, she finally cald down; she gently turned her body and hugged my right leg with both of her hands. This postureshe almost seed like a baby
Seeing my panicked reaction, Ancarin gave a sniffling laugh as she wiped her tears dry and without saying another word, took over my other leg; hugging it in the sa fetal position as Regine.
If all of you are sleeping here, then what about our carriage? If the matter about Duran was found out weforget it, as long as you guys were happy.
This was the first ti I had ever slept with a beautiful girl other than Nicole, yet I felt no lust towards themonlypity. They had suffered so much already, if possible, I hope that they could live a happy life from now on.
Not knowing how to react, we ended up spending the night in this manner without saying another word, until finally we all fell asleep unknowingly.
The next day, I woke up to find both of them already gone and both my legs numb from a night of being used as a pillow. Thankfully, it wasnt so serious that I couldnt move.
As if nothing had happened last night, Ancarin prepared breakfast for as usual while Regine quietly checked her gear. After ensuring that Duran was still safe and secured, I made way towards George to enquire about the days mission.
If everything else went as planned, Dawson would arrive with a large group of bandits to exact his revenge. The spot we chose was a route he had to take in order to reach Plateau Village. While there were other routes as well, this was the nearest; while the others required a large detour on his part. As such, we rely had to wait here for them to take the bait.
Yet despite waiting past a third of the day, the bandits had not show up. Instead we found several people from the other villages. Their numbers were not many, with a total of over ten and all of them were injured. Though they werent serious injured, due to the fact that they had to rush over to us, they were deathly pale by the ti they reached us.
So of them were let go on purpose by the bandits while others were those fortunate enough to escape right when the attack started. While their survival was fortunate, it also brought with them a terrifying piece of news.
The bandits hadnt followed Georges plan, and instead attacked the other three villages first; kidnapping all of the villagerstaking into account the ti they needed to move the kidnapped villagers, they should be arriving in Plateau Village soon.
George and the other three-stars nearly had a heart attack upon hearing this piece of news.
Imimpossiblehow could this be stamred a defeated looking George.
Reality was no ga after all, while we were busy plotting against them, they were busy plotting against us as well. Due to our recruitnt, the four villages were basically defenseless right now and could barely defend against a wild beast attack. The bandits didnt even need to send that many n to raid them in that state.
What a devious backstab on his partnow the bandits had a grasp on our lifeline; if they used them as hostages, this entire coalition could fall apart. While the other three villages might not agree to turn on us, the bandits could still force them to stand aside and leave us alone.
The command tent imdiately erupted into chaos; with Io and Eddison requesting for leave to lead their hunters away in order to save the other villagers. As for George and Moranthal, they wanted to stay behind and defend Plateau Village instead. They felt that the situation wasnt as simple as the other two thought it was and allowed no rashness on their part.
Thus the debate beca a stalemate that swiftly devolved into a shouting match which nearly ca to fists.
At that, I could no longer stand by the sidelines and watch. Stop arguing! Right now the most important thing is to try and save whoever we can and not turn against each other. All youre doing now is playing right into the palms of their hands. Whether or not you wish split up to save the other villages or defend Plateau Village, we still have to make that trip to Plateau Village.
Our first goal right now should be to save the one village that hasnt fallen, rather than start regretting once even that is gone. Arguing is the silliest thing we can do right now!
No matter what they thought of the situation, that scolding did indeed touch upon the crux of the situation; thus they unanimously decided to return to the village.
Leaving behind all non-essentials, we made our way back to the village as quickly as possible. All those trapssigh.
Thankfully, the spot we chose to set up camp at wasnt too far from Plateau Village, so by the ti we returned to the village the bandits had not arrived as yet; they were probably delayed by the sickly and elderly they had to move. Seeing that, the hunters who wanted to split off stirred once more, and soon the four three-stars were engaged in another verbal fight in the old village chiefs ho.
The ones who were captured werent your villagers, of course youre calm!
While Eddisons words werent all that helpful, George couldnt refute it either as the fact was only Plateau Village was unhard while the other three had been raided.
Eddison, youve gone too far with that remark, said Moranthal, the calst of the three at the mont. He knew extrely well what the true goal of capturing those villagers were: to stir up conflict and hopefully destroy their coalition without lifting a finger. While he was anxious as well, he knew that the best thing to do now was to remain calm.
Unfortunately Eddison wasnt the only one who had lost his cool, Io was ready as well with so choice words: Of course you arent worried, you dont have a family to care about, my wife and son are still in the hands of the Wolfs Fangoh right, wasnt your fiancee kidnapped by Dawson, haha, I guess youre already used to such matters.
you bastard! Yelled Moranthal with fists raised. However, all that earned him was a scornful spit by Io and another insult: Oh, the cuckold is angry?
Seeing that the two parties were about to fight, George imdiately stepped forward to stop them. Everyone calm down, nows not the ti to fight amongst ourselves.
At that, Eddison who wasnt too willing to join us in the first place, lost his temper and snapped: Easy for you to say, the ones who got captured werent from your village. Like a raging fat bull, he shouted with eyes fuming: What dog sh*t opportunity, I just knew that I shouldnt have joined!
To be honest, even if you didnt join us the outco wouldve just been the sa; seeing as you would be the last village standing once we lost. The Wolfs Fang were afraid of all four of the villages uniting, not just one or two villages.
The old village chief stepped forward to try and diate this dispute, yet was completely ignored by both Eddison and Io; which left him in an awkward position. Thankfully, both of them still had the state of mind to not insult the old man.
Had this continued for any longer, the two n wouldve probably lost their cool and started fighting. Lucky for us, the bandits showed up before that could happen. Congregating slowly in front of the village was a contingent of bandits with a stream of villagers they captured in tow. This black mass of people was at least 3,000 strong.
The over 2,000 villagers were kept under heavy watch by several hundred bandits with over a hundred trained wolves backing them up. Their fierce growling, glistening fangs and predatory green eyes were more than enough to scare the children into tears. The remaining young n in the village had been bound up while the other won, children and elderly were forced into one spot.
The one silver lining in this whole situation was that due to the lack of ti, the bandits werent able to violate the won. Still, there were so won who were visibly underdressed and shaken. There were a number of young won who were dressed in nothing but rags and had to walk around with their hands wrapped around their breasts. Evidently, they had been targeted by the bandits.
