"Catch the thief!" exclaimed the royal troops who were disguised as a group of commoners. Rose ran nimbly to avoid their pursuit. She glanced briefly at the royal army that was chasing her. They were tall, stocky, and sturdy. Their faces were very handsome, and their appearance was so charming. Their strength was really every woman's dream. Rose was captivated by their good looks and valor. Unfortunately, that day the handsome royal troops intended to capture Rose at any cost. They didn't mean to take Rose into their arms. Rose, the lady thief, had stolen a magic treasure they were looking for. Rose ran nimbly inside the dark treasure cave avoiding every trap. Rose had trained her body to move swiftly. Rose had spent many years in her profession with an athletic and flexible body as a treasure hunter and master thief. Since childhood, she had been trained to live as a street thief. Ever since he became adept at stealing and took up a job as a treasure hunter, he had been able to live on decent food and clothing. For convenience, Rose tied her blonde wavy hair in a ponytail and wore men's clothes. She hardly ever wore a dress or make-up in her life. However, her amber eyes look lively, and her smile is bright. A few days ago, she overheard some of the kingdom's important troops in disguise. They were hunting for treasure in a remote cave. Rose managed to sneak in to steal and copy the treasure map they were carrying. She returned the treasure map by changing its contents slightly to outwit the royal army, then departed faster for the location marked as the treasure hid place. With the map changed slightly, the royal troops should be caught in a natural trap in this treasure map. It was said that there is a lot of gold and gems in this place. However, the most valuable treasure in this place was a magic item that could make its owner the most powerful person. Rose had no interest in being the most powerful person. She was only interested in gold and gems that made her live a wealthy and prosperous life for seven generations. That's why that day, she desperately sneaked into the cave the treasure map pointed to by herself. Rose managed to collect the rarest gems and some gold bars. She had put it in the sack. Among the gems was a seed that looked as big as a peanut. It shone among the piles of gems and gold. Rose could feel the magic power from it, but to be honest, she wasn't very interested. Maybe she could sell it for a high price. She tucked the seed in her shirt pocket, then moved as fast as she could to escape. Unfortunately, the royal troops arrived too quickly, so she ended up getting caught up in a chase with them. “That thief turned over there!” There was the sound of footsteps hurrying closer and closer. Rose continued to run and found a thick wall blocking her view. “s**t! Dead end!" cursed Rose. When Rose turned around, the disguised royal army had surrounded her with drawn swords and bows ready to be unleashed. Seriously! She could die here! “Stop it! Do not come any closer!" cried Rose as she stepped back. “You have nowhere to run anymore! Leave the magic seed to us,” said one of the men who surrounded Rose. He seemed to be a mage, considering this man was holding a scepter and not a sharp weapon. "Who are you guys? Why do you dare to order me? I don't have the magic seed you guys say. Look, I'm only interested in gems and gold,” said Rose, lowering the sack on her back and opening the lid to reveal its contents. The hooded mage brandished his scepter, and the magic stone on his scepter’s crown glowed. "Hey, thief. Do not lie. My Scepter can feel the magic power in your body. Check her clothes! She must have brought the magic seed with her!” said the hooded mage. "Hey, wait! Stop! Okay, I have it. Please don't kill me. We can have a good talk,” said Rose, counting the number of troops surrounding her. Damn! Her situation was disadvantaged! At least twenty men were surrounding her. It was not good! “Give me that magic seed right now. We might go easy on you,” repeated the Mage. “Are you going to let me go if I leave the seed to you? Don’t fool me! You will kill me for sure!” said Rose as she quietly reached into her pocket and took the seed from her pocket. "If you don't want to give up the magic seed voluntarily, then we'll have to kill you right here," said the tall man who drew the sword at the front. "So, you will kill me anyway," said Rose as she stuffed the seed and swallowed it quickly into her body. "Hey, what are you doing?" “I swallowed the magic seed you wanted the most! Now the magic seed is mine," said Rose with a sly grin. She showed her tongue mockingly. If she had to die today, she wouldn't let those men get what they wanted so easily. "Kill her! Cut open the stomach and find the magic seed!” commanded the man who drew his sword at his troops. “Order accepted!” cried the other men moving forward to surround Rose. Several archers shot Rose with arrows. “s**t! I don't want to die yet! I still want to live prosperously! If only all the men in this world stooped under my orders and the most powerful man served me as I wished, my life would be fine! No man in this world can hurt me! I want absolute obedience from the most powerful men in the world,” said Rose in her mind. A voice echoed inside Rose's head. "I will grant your wish," said the voice. "What? Who is that?" asked Rose confusedly. Several arrows shot straight at Rose standing. Suddenly her body glowed, and all the arrows fell to the ground. "What's really going on?" Rose was surprised to see the phenomenon that happened to her body. "Attack! Don't let her get away!" commanded the leader of the royal army. The group of men who had surrounded Rose moved forward with their respective swords drawn. When they were close enough to Rose and raised their respective swords, they could smell the intoxicating scent of Rose's body on their noses. "Drop your weapons!" snapped Rose desperately. Unexpectedly, the troops dropped their respective swords according to Rose's orders. CLANK! CLANK! Rose herself flinched in surprise. What was this, she thought? But she was reminded by the mysterious voice. Could it be the sound of the magic seed she swallowed? Could this be the power of the magic seed? No time to think. Rose had to try to prove her conjecture. “Kneel! All of you!” cried Rose, pointing to all the men surrounding her. All the men knelt obediently. Again, Rose was surprised. The other men who were some distance away from Rose were equally surprised. "Take off all your clothes. Strip!" Rose ordered again with a wide grin.
