Chapter 21: Extended Hand
Vance's words began to play in Veril's head as she reached for the gag of the pale woman opposite her.
They are vile.
'Their fur... it looks so soft and perfect.'
They are monstrous.
'They have such cute little cat ears!'
We cannot coexist with them.
'But I still want to try!'
Veril first undid the gag on the twin sisters.
Once half their faces were uncovered, the saintess of stars had a profound realization.
"I think... you two might be the most beautiful won I have ever seen." She said honestly.
Perfectly proportioned noses and full lips complinted their faces that were nothing short of immaculately beautiful.
For the first ti, the scowls on the girls' faces were replaced by ones of disbelief.
Veril did not say that they were attractive for fallen.
She did not even say that they were beautiful despite their furry legs and animal ears.
Veril said, honestly from the bottom of her heart that the two of them were the most beautiful won she had ever seen.
Such a complint from a human woman was sothing that was simply unimaginable.
Veril looked past the two stunned tigerkin to focus on the woman who was behind them.
"I know you're probably a little more scared than these two considering what just happened, but I can assure you I just want to get that nasty rag off your face. Will you let
do that?"
The werewolf did not nod but she did not growl either.
She simply sat on the ground motionless with tear droplets still in her eyes.
Taking that as an invitation, Veril used the sa careful movents as before so as not to startle the young woman.
The twin bodyguards didn't realize it but they parted slightly to allow Veril better access to the woman they were protecting.
Once Veril got a closer inspection, she could see so redness around the werewolf's neck and so scratches around her partially exposed hips.
As she removed the gag, Veril felt her own eyes beginning to water as she stared into the unveiled face of a girl who appeared to be only a little older than her.
"I-I'm so sorry this happened... I know that we are supposed to be enemies or sothing but... No one deserves to go through sothing like that." A single tear fell from Veril's bright golden eyes.
When she realized what she had done, she hastily wiped her eyes and forced a smile back onto her face. "I-I'm sorry! I don't have any right to cry over this yet here I am showing my age."
Veril reached into her storage ring like she'd been taught and pulled out a healing pill given to her by Vance.
"H-Here... this should take away your pain and clear up those nasty marks." Veril he'd out the pill to feed the woman in front of her.
The two bodyguards scrutinized the item in the human woman's hand and upon finding out it was truly just a healing pill; they did not make any moves to stop her.
The werewolf looked at the pill in front of her for a long ti before she parted her bright pink lips to take the pill into her mouth.
'She's beautiful too... Why is everyone in this world so damn hot?!' Veril felt like if the won on earth ca here, they too would be able to understand her shock.
Veril watched with wide eyes as the redness and cuts on the werewolf's body healed imdiately.
"Whoa... maybe I should learn how to make those after all." she muttered.
With everything done, Veril finally took a step back and sat cross legged on the ground in front of the fallen girls who had yet to utter a single word.
"I told you my na... do any of you want to tell
yours?"
Unfortunately, Veril received only silence and blank stares containing a veiled mistrust.
"Yea... I guess I can see how you girls wouldn't be very chatty after having a day like this."
The four won continued to sit in silence for what felt like forever before Veril had a sudden idea.
"Ah! I'll be right back!"
The heroine scrambled up from the ground and hastily made her way outside of the tent.
"She is... strange." One of the twins finally said.
The older twin with tanned skin and a stoic personality was nad Kohaku.
"She... said we were beautiful." The younger of the twins was nad Kuro and she was often the more aggressive of the two, but Veril's kindness had left her stunned and speechless.
The two girls seemingly had the sa thought at the sa ti as they turned to the woman behind them that they were supposed to be protecting.
"Princess Keran... I-I'm sorry we were unable to protect you from that filthy human a-and he almost..." Kohaku did not finish her words but no one present needed her to.
Keran did not respond however her mind was still jumbled from the horrors she'd just witnessed as well as the strange scene that had occurred after.
'Why is she like that?' The werewolf couldn't understand anything that had just happened with that strange human girl.
Not only had Veril gone as far as to berate and insult one of her own n, she did not allow him to assault Keran either.
Could it have been so sort of trick to convince her to lower her guard?
Keran wanted to believe that, yet the honest golden eyes of the saintess continually bubbled up into her mind.
The group suddenly heard the sound of excited footsteps approaching and a mont later Veril burst inside carrying a plate piled high with food.
"I'm sorry if that took too long! I wasn't sure exactly what you girls would like so I just grabbed a bit of everything!"
The three beastgirls stared hungrily at the plate of food before them and it was at that point they rembered they had not eaten for several hours.
Veril prepared to place the plates in front of them and let them serve themselves when she realized that all of the girl's hands were tied behind their backs.
"Ah... I-I'm sorry I don't have the key to your shackles... that looks pretty uncomfortable." She had forgotten that these girls were still prisoners of war and only a few hours ago they were trying to kill everyone.
'But... they still deserve to eat.'
Veril once again kneeled in front of the three beast girls and smiled awkwardly at them. "I-I know it's a bit strange but it looks like I'll have to feed you... is that okay?"
