BXBX NOVEL Chapter 168 - Arrival-part Two
"We are finally here!" Said one guard to the caravan behind him.
"Attention!" Shouted the captain of this small group, Serio.
Everyone stopped and looked in front of them.
"We are about to enter what is going to be our new home, some of us will stay for a period of time, other ones would be staying here, however, regardless if you are the former or the later, we must not put in shame the honorable name of our Lord, the former lord of Tulip, Felio!" Said Serio while looking at everyone.
"Captain! There is someone coming!" Said one of the guards.
When Serio looked up, a figure could be seeing, or to be more precise, two figures.
When Serio looked up, they were stunned, the two figures were one big wolf and one woman.
However, what left everyone with their mouth open was the woman.
She was breathtaking after all.
"OMG, such a beautiful woman actually exists on this desolate place!" Said one of the guards.
"I- I can\'t believe what I am seeing… she is even more beautiful than princess Susana!" Said, other guard.
"Is she a goddess!?" Said one of the villagers who was in front.
"… She is indeed beautiful" Though Serio.
The woman walked until she was in front of everyone, with a sweet smile on her face, she said.
"Welcome, everyone, to Wasteland Valley, my name is Demeter, I am one of the assistance of his highness Alfonso Lockheart, he is currently waiting at the central plaza with a huge banquet to greet everyone, so if you would please follow me," Said Demeter.
"Hello beautiful, my name is Rodolph, I am one of the guards of his highness Felio, as well as great swordsman! Would you mind if we chat a little!?" One of the guards couldn\'t help himself and went in front to talk to Demeter.
Demeter looked at the guard and didn\'t say anything, she turned around and went back.
"Bad luck buddy! hehe" One of the commoners in front mocked at the soldier \'s misfortunate.
The soldier was ashamed.
"Hey! Wait! I am talking to you damnit!" The soldier went and lifted his arm to stop Demeter.
However, before his arm reached too far…
"STOP IT!" Shouted Serio.
The soldier shivered a little after hearing Serio, he stopped his hand.
"I- I am sorry, captain, I was a little bit over the top, however, that woman-"
*SLAP*
Before the soldier could finish a slap came into his face, stunning him.
"YOU IDIOT! YOU WANT TO DIE THAT BADLY!? APOLOGIZE!" Said Serio.
"Wha- why are you so serious suddenly?" Asked the soldier with some annoyance in his tone.
"Idiot, the captain just saved your ass!" Said another soldier looking a little bit afraid.
"What are you talking about?" Asked the soldier.
The first soldier didn\'t say anything and just pointed to the right.
When the soldier looked at his right, he almost fell on the spot.
In front of him, a huge pair of yellow eyes were looking at him.
"Wh-wh-wh"
When did the wolf come so close!?
That was what the soldier wanted to ask, however, the words didn\'t leave his mouth.
"PLEASE! Forgive my subordinate insult!" Said, Serio, while bowing towards Demeter.
"You are a good captain," Said Demeter without turning around.
"I forgot to mention, this land is protected by these wolves, their our friends and we treat them as equals, the name of this little one is Leprico, come here Leprico" Said Demeter while waving his hand.
Leprico left the soldier side and went towards Demeter\'s side, the wolf happily waved his tail while fondling his head in Demeter\'s hand.
"They are usually friendly so don\'t be scared… however… if you tried to break the rules that his highness made… hehe~" Demeter laughed sweetly.
She continued her walk while leaving a scared audience behind her.
Serio and the other soldiers gulped.
"What is this place!?" All the soldiers had that question in mind.
"Wooo~ wooo" \'I just protected that dude, why is he so scared!?\' Asked Leprico.
Of course, only some people could understand what he was trying to say, one of them was Demeter thanks to her link with nature.
"They think that you wanted to attack him and protect me" Chuckle Demeter.
"Woo? Woo, wo!" \'No way~ , Me? Protecting you? If he had touched you back then, his arm would have been the only piece intact on his body! \' Said Leprico.
"I am not that of a monster~ I would have, at the very least, leave the corpse in one piece, I don\'t want to scare our new guesses after all" Said Demeter.
Leprico and Demeter continue their chat while they were followed by the caravan from behind.
The soldier would never realize just how lucky he was that Leprico was there and he had a soft spot for idiots like him.
........................
"They are here!" Said one of Spartans that was looking from a tall spot.
"Okay everything is going according to the plan, how is the banquet!?" Shouted Ribeiro.
"Everything has been prepared! The Amazons already made the food!" Shouted Deferio.
"You can lift so much weight that not even men can, you can fight, and you can cook, you Amazons are truly impressive!" Said Ribeiro
"Thanks for your kind words, we just want to retribute some of the kindness that his highness had with us," Said Antiope who was at his side.
"His Highness is really impressive, I mean, just a few months ago, this land was about to perish… and now… look, it looks so…" Said Ribeiro with a smile on his face.
"Lively? Yeah, I was very worried that my baby would grow in such a place… but now… I am glad that we stayed" Said a voice from behind them.
"Zeti? What are you doing here? I thought that you would be at home?" Asked Ribeiro.
"I wanted to walk a little bit, my sisters wanted to spoil my child a little bit, so I took the chance" Said Zeti.
"Where is his highness by the way?" Asked Zeti.
"He would be here in a moment, he is making the last preparations," Said Ribeiro.
[Back in the manor]
"Hmm… Is everything already set?" Asked Alfonso.
"It seems that they already got here, it\'s time to go" Said Artemis, who was at his side.
"Okay! Its show time!" Said Alfonso.
