CHAPTER 13 (Princess Linea's caught)
1575 Words
In the land of the Imperial — Simon, the right hand of the king who also came from the poor land left early with a soldier towards rough land. Before dawn, they quickly went secretly to the young man's house named Muriel. This is what Amethyst and Azure talked to the queue.
"What do you want, Simon!" he grunted.
Muriel's two hands were tied behind the wooden chair. Simon, his childhood friend, has really changed. He is no longer the former Simon he knows. Apart from the fact that it speaks like a sound from Imperial castle, it also moves differently. He promised before that they would be lifted out of poverty.
Simon smirked, "Well, I know, you know where the princess is."
"What?!" Muriel shouted.
"I belong to the Imperial, so don't expect that you can still escape the dirty mud," Simon said arrogantly.
Muriel laugh's, "Tsk, you will also fall into the mud you call when you are old!"
Simon approached him and lifted his chin up.
He was pissed with his tone and what he had said.
"What? Can you repeat it again, Muriel," Simon smirked.
Muriel smiled, as if he had nothing to be afraid of. "Are you deaf? Or maybe you're just stupid,"
Simon's soldiers were about to punch him, but he raised his left hand and he let go of its grip on Muriel's chin.
"Let him, don't hurt him, we still need that… Trash,"
Simon turned his back and spoke, " It's simple, you will tell me where the princess is and I will give you a sack of gold or we will kill you and your brother?"
"Damn you bastard! Why would you involve such a young boy in your bad plan?!" Muriel said angrily.
"Soldier," Simon said.
"Yes, our Lord hand," the soldier said.
He dropped the sack of pure gold that had spilled on the floor of their old house.
Simon turned to Muriel again, "Is that enough? If not, maybe you want your little brother to drop to the floor of your dirty house?"
"Stop! Princess Linea was living inside the old trattorie restaurant,"
"Hmm, it was easy to deal with you, poor Murial," Simon said arrogantly.
The two disciples from Imperial land left him while Muriel was left sitting and tied to the chair. The king will surely be pleased with him because he can quickly bring Princess Linea back to the castle. While Princess Linea is unaware that she is near to upcoming danger. She was still asleep, and she had no idea that Azure and Amethyst were no longer beside her because they were back in the real world.
She felt the crackle and sound of the doorknob rotating on the door. So she stood up quickly and looked for Amethyst and Azure, but Princess Linea didn't see any trace or shadow of them. But what is surprising for her is how did it come out? because that door was only locked inside and the doorknob of that door was broken due to oldness and there was only a wooden barrier so that no one could enter.
"Princess Linea, I know you're here, come with us," Simon said while knocking at the door.
Linea thought quickly because she knew Simon's voice. She didn't like his behavior at first because it didn't seem to go through the mud then. But she had no way out except the door of this trattorie restaurant.
Princess Linea had no choice but to go out to that door, so she tore her long white dress from its hem so she could run properly.
"You're such a loser Simon, Your shameless!" Princess Linea grunted.
Simon laughed, "I know, and I'm proud of it,"
"You're a crazy evil monster! You're just like my parents!"
"Hmm, you seem to have learned to speak like a slap-soil, don't worry we can fix that when you come back to us," Simon said.
Princess Linea entertains Simon first so she can prepare herself for running, she also slowly removes the wood that serves as a lock on the door.
Princess Linea quickly opened the door where Simon was standing, so it backed away because the door hit him in the face. Princess Linea ran as fast as she could. She had a hard time running because she was barefoot.
While Simon touched his nose because it was big and sharp he looked at his palm with blood on it. He was a thin tall guy, so he knew nothing about the battle.
"Argh! Damn her!" he groaned.
Simon looked at his soldier standing as he looked at him, "What are you looking at! Chase her!"
"Yes, My Lord hand,"
The soldier nodded and ran in which direction the Princess ran.
"Damn you, Linea, if you're not just a princess! Argh!"
…
Princess Linea was out of breath and tired because of the distance she ran, she had nowhere to go and her foot was full of wounds.
While she was running, she felt that the two had deceived her the reason Simon traced her.
"They fool me, I thought they were kind," Princess Linea said.
She was nervous when she saw her Father's royal gold state coach coming, Princess Linea was about to run back but Simon and his companion were going to her as well. She noticed that Simon's hand was covering his nose. In her mind, I wish I had pushed the door even harder.
Princess Linea had no backup plans — and now she has nowhere to run.
She was surrounded now by soldiers, Simon, and his Father's carriage; King Adelio still did not get off the carriage. Princess Linea felt so dizzy because of the excessive number of the soldiers. Simon removed his palm to his nose while it kept bleeding, but he still managed to smile with her. Telling her he was the winner even though his nose was bleeding.
Her Father finally came out to that carriage. The king would usually wear a well-embellished tunic with gold-work thread as a basic dress. On top of it, a surcoat was often worn, which depicted the emblem of the King and his family. Robes and coats were also part of the King’s costume at certain occasions.
King Adelio was ashamed to see her daughter like that. Her hair was more messy than knitted yarn, it also had a lot of dirt on the face, no proper clothing, and no footwear. Far, far away from how Princess looks like — Usually her Outstanding dress made of the most expensive and high-quality furs and other materials were used. In the making of the tunics and gowns which were the main items of a medieval princess’ clothing, extensive use of furs and highly expensive materials such as silks for trimming and golden threads for lace work were used.
"Princess Linea, you're embarrassing our family! Look at yourself!" King Adelio said.
Princess Linea smiled, "You are more embarrassing,"
"What did you say?" King Adelio asked and frowned at her.
He can't believe that Princess Linea could tell that in an appropriate word.
"If you think that I'm crazy because I said that, you're wrong, that's all true," she said emphatically.
King Adelio's ears almost smoked with anger.
"Is that what you learned from those poor people?!" she stated.
"Soldiers, hold Princess Linea in her both hands!" King Adelio commanded.
"Princess Linea might run away again," King Adelio added.
The two soldiers quickly held her two hands. Princess Linea tries not to cry because of her father's indecency because now her anger is prevailing.
"What is wrong to poor people? You are not where you stand without them!" she insisted.
King Adelio smiled bitterly, " Do you know the difference between me and them? They have no wealth, all they have is dirty mud!"
"Put that in the carriage," King Adelio commanded before it got to its carriage.
Soldiers quickly took her to another carriage as she struggled. There seemed to be no expression on her face as she rode in his father's carriage. She also wondered why people were not in that area when she was running earlier. Could it be that they are hiding? In her mind.
But they would rather hide than to help her. They had nothing against King Adelio's thousands of soldiers.
King Adelio is powerful and can kill them one by one if he wants. Princess Linea will choose their safety. Therefore, she is also the reason they hid earlier.
…
Meanwhile, the large facility in the real world was full of workers busy at their work. The company that made the reborn battle game called — pixel gaming — The unknown man is now talking to its new applied character for the game.
"Welcome to our virtual games," the unknown man greeted.
They sat on the cloud sofa that made him surprised — The cloud sofa is supposed to give one the illusion of floating on their own personal cloud. A magnet in the base is supposed to generate enough magnetic force to hold the sofa aloft. The cloud is constructed from a plexiglass mold.
"Do you like the place?" the unknown man asked.
he gulped "Yes, yes,"
He seems to be terrified at that moment because he can see what he's seeing. You can see the design of this whole compound is more futuristic.
The unknown man smiled at him, "Well, why did you think of joining here as a character?"
