"Oh, that’s cool, I guess. Well, now that you’re all healed up, you can be on your way." Kai wanted nothing to do with soone of that importance, and he thought it would be best to part ways before anything serious happened
"W-Wait! You’re going to leave ? As your princess, I demand that you take to safety." Tyria knew she would be in danger if Kai and Gwen left her. Judging by how her pursuers were killed, she assud they were powerful and thought it about be best to stick with them for now.
"Bitch, even if you were a god I still wouldn’t listen to you. Fuck off and leave us alone." While Kai could hypnotize her, he didn’t think that it was necessary. Not only that, he wasn’t trying to mind control every person he ca across.
Gwen tugged at his shirt. "Kai, she’s the princess!"
"And?"
"We could get a reward if we help her out!"
He looked at Tyria, and she was nodding in agreent with Gwen.
"No. Gwen, if I weren’t as strong as I was, we would have been dead. Even if we didn’t help her and wanted no part in whatever’s going on in the royal family, we still would have been killed because we saw what those n were going to do to her. We should have been silenced."
"That’s fair, however, that didn’t happen." She argued
Kai grabbed his head in frustration. "No, listen. Being involved with her ans we’ll have a target on our backs. The strongest person there was Tier-6, so what if they send soone stronger? I may be tier-10, but I’m at the bottom of that Tier. If soone stronger than cos after us, we’re fucked. Better yet, what if we get frad? Or hunted? Hell, even if we do successfully transport her back to the capital, what’s stopping others from coming after us simply because we helped her? The risks are way too high. At least monsters are predictable."
Tyria chid in. "I’ll make sure that doesn’t happen."
"Bitch, you couldn’t even make sure to keep your life intact. Shut the fuck up."
Her head drooped, and she sat in front of a tree.
Now that Kai had spelled things out for her, Gwen understood where he was coming from. Was she willing to risk her life just for so reward that she didn’t know she would get? Like Kai said, the risks were too high.
"I understand." She nodded.
Tyria lunged for Kai’s leg. "Please don’t leave ! I’ll have no one! I’m scared! Don’t go!" She sobbed uncontrollably.
"And end up like the people who were supposed to protect you? No thanks."
Tyria understood where he was coming from, but that still didn’t an she wanted him to go. But suddenly, she rembered sothing.
"Wait! I have a guard!" She shouted.
"What?"
She stood up, brushing the dirt off he skirt. "I have a guard. She was with while I was shopping for so clothes. She’s strong, very strong. If you can get to her, then all will be well."
"Unhuh, so why wasn’t this guard with you from the start?" Kai asked
Tyria blushed in embarrassnt. "I sort of...ran away."
"Yeah, we’re leaving."
"Noooooo! Wait! I’ll be good! I promise!"
"You expect us to believe that when you ran away from YOUR OWN GUARDS?! What’s stopping you from doing the sa thing to us?"
She got on her knees. "I’ll be good! I promise! I won’t run away. I simply wanted to explore and have fun. They are all, ’rules this and rules that,’ it’s so boring. I just want to go on an adventure."
Kai paused. He thought about her situation. He looked at her, properly this ti, from head to toe.
"Y-You know I’m still a princess. I could have you hanged for looking at this way." She blushed. However, seeing as that didn’t faze Kai, she spoke again. "But I’ll allow it because you saved my life."
"Tell , how often do you leave the castle?" He asked
"Oh, I leave the castle often. I go to dinners, celebrations, events, plays, musicals-"
"How often do you leave the castle to do the things you want to do?" Kai rephrased his words.
"Never." She admitted. "This was the first ti I was able to leave the castle for fun."
"So why the fuck did you run away?"
"I don’t know. I thought it would be fun if my guards chased ."
Gwen was laughing, and Kai rubbed his temples.
"Do you know if your guard will be looking for you? Well, obviously, she will. What I an to ask is if you had a destination in mind before you got chased by those n."
"Umm, my father told that I couldn’t leave Brightfield Town, so my guard is probably there looking for ."
"The fuck?! You ran all the way here from Brightfield?" Gwen asked
Tyria shook her head. "No. I hitched a few carriages here and there. But it wasn’t enough to get away from those n."
Kai then rembered sothing. "Oh yeah, speaking of them. I heard them say they had to report back to soone nad Thorax. Ring a bell?"
Tyria froze. Her body started shaking, and she started sweating profusely. She looked at Kai with a shocked expression, but also one of betrayal and confusion.
When Gwen asked if everything was okay, Tyria didn’t answer.
It was only after she stopped shaking and cald herself that she finally spoke up. "I-I know that na. It’s the na of my uncle."
"Ahh, sounds about right. You royals always kill each other. I thought he would be so evil villain or sothing." Earth was famous for its stories about Royal family mbers killing each other. It was practically common knowledge in his ti. Literally, the Ptolemaic Dynasty was known for its family murders.
"What do you an that sounds about right? Why would my uncle want to kill ?" Tyria cried.
"Because of power, stupid. Geez, how old are you, five?"
"Fifty-two." She corrected him.
"Damn! And you’re still this naive?"
"Kai, Elves age differently from humans. She is probably about our age in elf years or sothing." Gwen inford him.
"Oh, got it. Anyway. I’ve decided that I’ll let you hang with us for a bit. But only until we reach Brightfield, since we were heading there anyway. In the anti, try not to cause any trouble."
