The bandits
1065 Words
They usually attack the village, robbing the gold and women. Later, enjoy the feast. But they didn’t expect someone would come to kill them in the night.
Lucifer walked towards the bandit leader. The bandit leader came out of his thoughts and saw Lucifer moving to him. He wanted to escape from this boy. But how… how do I get out of here alive? While wondering about his survival, he saw the villagers standing to the side and watching them.
That man unsheathed his sword, pointing at Lucifer. He slowly moved towards the villagers facing Lucifer. Those villagers didn’t notice that the bandits were coming for them. They thought that as long as Lucifer was there he wouldn’t do anything.
Then he jumped at those villagers and grabbed a person from the group of those villagers.
He held the sword at her throat but, to the bandit’s surprise, the person who was a woman pushed him. The bandit stumbled back. Then she instantly moved from her place and grabbed the sword from the ground of the dead bandit.
“Today is totally f**ked up. I will at least take you with me, bitch.” That leader bandit shouted in an angry tone and rushed towards her.
Before he could reach her, a sword was pierced through his chest. Then he stopped running and looked down. Then he fell to the ground and died.
It was Lucifer who threw the sword.
He walked towards the woman.
“This is really a great surprise for me to see you here.” He said, looking at the woman.
She had a different complexion after seeing him. She was neither happy nor angry to see him. She had totally mixed emotions.
“Theesa, how did you end up here?” He asked her. Varda was a kingdom, several miles from here, and why would a noble from a kingdom living in a village?
Theesa was in a daze. Meanwhile, the village head came forward to meet Lucifer.
“Thank you for saving us from those bandits. It would have been very dangerous if you didn’t come. Thank you for coming to this village and saving us.” He said with gratitude in his voice. He knew about the bandits robbing the villages and killing the villagers. Women would have the worst, it would be better for them to die than to live in their hands.
The villagers were all gathered around Lucifer, showing their gratitude.
Theesa, while she was looking at Lucifer, four women were standing in the dark. Two of them had swords in their hands and others. They were also quite in shock upon seeing the young man, Lucifer.
They, too, came forward and Lucifer saw them. Lucifer was startled to see all four of them. He did not expect to see them again, here in this village which was nowhere.
“Let’s go to my home. There, you can rest,” the village head offered for Lucifer to stay. Lucifer was looking at the four women, after hearing the voice of the head. He turned to him and accepted his welcome.
Inside the village, head home.
“Are you an adventurer?” Head asked Lucifer.
“Yes. Before that, can I ask you something?” Lucifer asked him the question, trying to enquire about the women he saw outside.
“Yes. Tell me.” Head replied.
“Who are those four women that came last?” Lucifer directly asked them.
The village head was surprised at his question and scratched his head. He thought Lucifer was interested in them. He smiled wryly and said, “They came to our village a few days ago. I don’t know much about them. They told us that the place had been occupied by someone else and they had fled from that place.”
Village head continued his smile, “If you want them, I can talk to them.”
Lucifer furrowed his brows at those words. “Never mind. Can you tell me where they live?”
The village head told them about the houses in which they lived. Lucifer walked out of the head's house and walked towards their homes.
Inside Angelina's house.
“Did you see him? He is… it is him.” Eliza said in an angry tone. For some reason, she was quite angry after seeing Lucifer there. He was dressed in very high-quality clothes and he defeated those bandits far too easily. He didn’t even sweat it. Eliza kicked the wall in frustration thinking about the fight and Lucifer. He has grown a lot stronger from their last encounter. Also, he had killed her father right in front of her eyes. At that time, she thought that it was right, but after the demons came she thought if her father had been there, they wouldn’t have ended up like that. She thought as much and now Lucifer came in front of her eyes and much stronger than before.
“We all saw him. But why are you angry?” Bianca asked Eliza, seeing her angry face.
“He…” Eliza opened her mouth to say something but didn’t know what to say. The silence prevailed the next second.
Angelina parted her lips, “He doesn’t know about the kingdom and he, living at that time, was better for us. We all witnessed his power at that time and now he is even stronger than that time…” While she was talking, there came a door knock.
Tak tak
Angelina stood up and went near the door and opened it.
” It's been a while.” Angelina froze after seeing Lucifer stand at the entrance door. He said to her.
“Yes,” Angelina said to him.
“Can I come inside?” Lucifer asked her.
“Ah, Yes. Come in.”
“It seems the topic your talking about was about me?” Lucifer walked into the house and sat on a chair. He looked at the three women present in the house; Martha, Bianca, and Eliza.
“Where have you been all these days?” Eliza spoke at first after trying to keep her curious self. She wanted to ask him many questions.
“Well, after traveling for many days leaving the kingdom, I joined the army of the empire. Then I became an adventurer. And then I joined as a general.”
