"Ahhhh!"
Most people looked away as I brought my foot down over Jacob's body.
Samantha and Alia were the first to walk out of there as they couldn't keep hearing Jacob moan in pain like that. They didn't know what happened next and didn't care about it.
But the people who were still looking over saw that I stomped on his left leg and even with the armor, my pure strength went through it and cracked his bones.
"Ahhhh!"
"AHHHH!"
The guy kept on screaming and even I at the mont felt that it was a bit too much so I lightly patted him on the face, knocking him out and walked away from the place.
As I was walking, a tall man of 5.8 stopped . It was Nance, Samantha's uncle and also the second in charge of this ragged group of soldiers.
"You could have gone easier."
"Yeah I could… but I didn't, did I?" I ask him, "Look around you and think why I didn't."
Saying that I went past him, to soone who wasn't looking at like they were. Soone who didn't fear but was proud.
"Anna"
She ca over and glanced at before taking out a handkerchief and wiping my face, "You got so blood on you, master. Why don't you go inside the tent and let bring so hot water to clean them."
"It's okay, I don't want hot water. There's a lake around here, right?" She nodded. "Show ."
...
At the lake beside the camp.
I was sitting beside it, was almost naked and if I wasn't wearing my underwear, then I would have been.
"Splash!"
A bucket of cold water dropped over my hot body and the blood slowly shed. Then Anna used so kind of cloth to scrub my body off all blood there was.
Not one bit of blood was mine. I wasn't hurt in the slightest, the blood was the aftermath of crushing Jacob's leg.
The way his leg, burst open like a tomato… was sothing else.
I've never seen sothing like that, nor done sothing like that before. Thinking back to it, I've never been so crazy and angry to do sothing so aggressive like this.
Now that I think about it, I don't even feel remorse or guilt about doing it. It was as if my feelings were turned off. Except for the curiosity that I now had.
"Splash!"
Another bucket fell over my head as it cooled it, letting exhale a relieved sigh.
"Anna"
"Yes, master."
"Do you think I'm evil?"
"No… why? Do you think that?"
"It's just… most people that saw doing what I did today, would think that I am one."
Anna scrubbed my body as she slowly said, "You shouldn't care about what most people think. They are people, they will always think, always comnt about you behind your back and then look at you over your riches and will judgent you."
"If you think about them then it will only be a matter of ti before you fall."
"Hmm" Her words were correct, "But what I did back there… crushing his leg… do you think I should have been lenient?"
I felt her stop scrubbing my body and co before . She touched both of my cheeks and looked deep into my eyes.
"Do YOU think that was too much?"
"…No… I needed to show them that I wasn't as weak as they think."
"Good, never let people's feelings guide your path. It is only you young master that must sail your boat listening to here," She pointed to my brains then at my heart, "And here."
"You were right in making a point of that guy. Who was he?" She beca angry, "Who was he to trample on your honor? What point did he had that he must humiliate you like that?"
"Tell ." She asked.
Right now, I was completely dazed in her beautiful eyes and words that went straight to both my heart and brain. I was listening to every single one of them and was ready to stand by them all.
"He was… nobody."
"Yes, everyone is." Then she smiled like the beautiful angel she is, "So don't worry too much about it, okay."
I smiled too, "Alright"
Anna went behind my back and started scrubbing as a low hum, whispered out. It was a calming sensation, this. I could stay like this forever.
If only I wasn't so selfish.
...
The mont we went back in to camp, it was evident.
Soldiers scattered around glancing at us and mumbling sothing.
I was able to notice a new difference imdiately with the use of my eyes. Sothing only the experienced and observant.
There were two sides. One that feared and hated , other that feared and stayed out of my way. There were more people on the other side.
If it would have been the previous , I probably would have think that I was so manic, seeing them giving such looks.
But now… now they empowered .
I walked tall and heavy as Anna too stood tall beside with an arrogant look in her innocent and beautiful face.
It was close to sleeping ti, so we went straight to our tent and changed ourselves before going to bed.
She was the one who looked at like that when nobody else did, she was the one who encouraged when most would have blad .
I felt like I needed to do this or I would never be able to.
At one point of the night, my arms went over Anna's body and I hugged her. She didn't say anything, only scooched over closer to and leaned in.
I felt her small warm body under , I could sll the lavender flavored scent coming from her long hair.
This feeling… it was even more pure than what I felt with Alia… okay that may be a lie. But it was very very good.
She held on to my hand and I hugged her a little tighter, comfortably before we both went into sleep.
