(From Blue's Perspective)
"Luc! Why are you here?" I exclaid in shock when I saw Luc teleporting in our bedroom.
It was midnight and Dem and I were planning to move forward with our plan right now. But I did not know that he even asked Luc to co with us. That must be the reason he did not want to call Flint.
I had a magic stone with which I could send a ssage to Flint and all other employees of mine. They wore a locket that would alarm them.
"Ask that damn bastard! He asked for in the middle of the freaking night!" Luc grumbled, looking angrily at Dem who did not seem to care at all.
"It's not like you were in the middle of sothing. The kind of person you are..."
"I was in the middle of sothing!"
"What...? Dem, you disturbed Luc and Ruby? I told you not to..."
"Were you having sex?" Dem asked nonchalantly.
"Oh my god, how shaless can you be?" I exclaid, slapping him on the arm.
"No, we were playing," Luc replied.
"What...?"
I looked at him in surprise. They were playing? In the middle of the night?
"We were playing chess. It was a good match. But then, this bastard called suddenly," Luc muttered under his breath.
"What were you doing all day? Playing in the middle of the night? That's also chess? It's not like you have any work. You are on a vacation," I asked.
"Well, it's actually really fun to be with her. So, we played different board gas, then she taught how to cook, I showed her so magical items that I made, we did so mature stuff and then we played again." Enjoy new stories from mvl
'Wow...! They are getting along better than I thought. I should not have worried at all.'
"Seems like you had a lot of fun. Anyway, it's work ti. So, stop talking, and let's get to work," Dem said dismissively though I still wanted to hear more. It seed Luc truly could make Ruby happy. He seed pretty satisfied as well.
"What are you going to do? Blue is joining too? What kind of crazy thing are you putting her in?" Luc asked.
"I wouldn't endanger my wife's life," Dem said. "We are just going to kidnap soone."
"Kidnap? I told you not to use that term," I said. "It's not that, Luc. We are just going to bring a child here."
"Without the consent of her guardians," Dem added. "That's the definition of kidnap. If you don't like that term, we can just say 'sneakily taking soone's child away'."
"Jeez..."
"Who is it?" Luc asked.
"The saint, so-called saint, I an," Dem replied. "Blue thinks she is in a miserable condition right now. So, we are bringing her here."
"Is that so? Why do you think that, Blue?" Luc asked.
"You will see. It's hard to explain. Dem also saw her. But he is talking this way, so it's hard to understand... But why do we have to take Luc and not any other mage?"
"That's because it's inside the temple. It's not possible for mages to teleport inside the temple. But the master of the magic tower is different. He has the power and also the authority to teleport anywhere," Luc explained.
"Oh, so that's why..."
"What else did you think? Did you think I called him because I like to work with him?" Dem snapped. "That's such a terrible thought!"
"I don't like to work with you either, you bastard!" Luc snapped back.
"Will you two stop? It's really too much for you two to fight whenever you et. It's a surprise you did not fight at Luc's wedding," I said, standing between them. "That's it. Don't utter a single word and let's just proceed with our plan. When are you planning to go there?
At dawn?"
"That's right. It's quite late already," Dem muttered. "Alright, listen up, you silver punk. We are going to sneakily take that child away. Then, we will look for the tablets. I can track them with the sll.
After getting so info, we will co back."
After explaining everything to Luc, we teleported to the temple. Luc chose the place he knew because a mage could teleport sowhere if they had a fair idea about that place. If not, then the place they would teleport to would be a random place.
"It's the hallway... Out of all places, you rember the hallway?" Dem grumbled.
"When I visited the temple with you officially, I sneaked out and remained in the hallway. It was very quiet here. Of course, I would rember this place," Luc said.
"I know which room the child is in. My spy gave the info," I said. "He drew it in a map as well, so I would understand. I rember it well. Follow ."
I walked to the end of the hallway and took a left turn. We found the stairs there. We climbed to the first floor and took a right turn. I stopped in front of a huge white door with so weird symbols carved on it.
"This is the one," I said. "Can you teleport inside?"
"It's not impossible. If it's near, I can teleport sowhere even if I don't have much of an idea about it," Luc said. "Hold my hand. Detrius, take Blue's hand. I don't want to touch you."
"You think I want to touch you, you gross jerk!" Dem snapped.
"Please stop fighting, for god's sake!"
"I don't believe in god," Dem said.
" neither," Luc added.
"..."
"I'm sorry. I will stop now," Dem said quickly, seeing that I got angry.
"Yeah, we won't," Luc said.
I held Luc's hand and Dem held mine as we teleported. They were very good at keeping quiet, especially Dem, when needed. When we reached the room, we found the little girl sleeping.
"She is sleeping," Luc said. "So, that's the child?"
"I will go to her," I said.
I walked up to her bed slowly and sat down beside her. I touched her hair gently. She mumbled sothing in her sleep and snuggled closer.
"Amber...," I whispered into her ear.
"Hmm?" she muttered in her sleep.
"I know you don't like this place and you don't want to be here. That's why I have co to take you away to a better place. Wake up now, little Amber."
She opened her eyes and jumped up in surprise. "Who...?"
"It's alright, Amber. Don't be afraid. You rember ? We have t this morning," I said soothingly.
"Your M-Majesty, the Queen..."
"That's ," I smiled.
"But why...?"
"Sweetie, we are here to take you away to a better place. You don't have to stay with those horrible people."
"You... you want for power, don't you?"
"What power? I don't care about that though. I am here because you remind of a certain soone. After seeing you, I cannot leave you alone here. It might be hard to trust . But at least, for a mont, try to trust .
It's alright. I won't hurt you," I said and kissed her on the forehead.
"W-Where will you take ?"
"For now, I will take you to the place I am living," I said. "Then, we will find a safe place for you where the priests can't reach you."
"We? Who else?"
"Ah, I forgot to ntion. That's the king and my husband. You have seen him before haven't you?" I asked and she nodded. "The other person is the master of the magic tower. They are very powerful. They can save you."
"The King also will save ?"
"Of course. He is a very gentle and... kind person..."
"Pfft! Gentle and kind? Detrius?" Luc laughed.
Even Dem did not deny that the fact I called him gentle and kind was funny. Well, I lied a bit, but they did not have to react like that, especially in front of the child.
"Don't mind them, Amber. They are crazy," I said. "We cannot waste too much ti here. Let's get out of here now. Co here."
She took my hand and climbed down the bed slowly. I almost gasped seeing her bruised hands and legs. Her nightgown ca up to her knees, so I could see most of her bruises clearly.
She limped with each one of her steps. I sighed and picked her up in my arms. "Your Majesty!"
"It's alright. You are very light, after all," I smiled at her. I was not lying at all. She was too light for a nine-year-old.
"Now what?" I asked, looking at the two n.
"Now, you leave with Luc. That guy will co back again after taking you back. I will co back after my job is done," Dem said.
"I also think that's a good idea. Little Amber needs to be taken to the doctor imdiately," I nodded. "Dem, be safe, okay? Co back as soon as you are done."
