(POV-3rd person-Capital of the Delna Kingdom)
In what looked like an abandoned building, at this moment, the little prince of this kingdom was watching his two bodyguards who always accompanied him fight, and there was also the sub-leader of ”his” guild too. Unfortunately, it wasn't because they wanted to do an exhibition or show him their skills so he can learn something from them watching them fight...
They had come because a letter asking for ransom for a ”damsel in distress” had reached the little prince's hands recently… despite the warnings from the men mentioned before telling him that this was most likely a trap, in the end, he not could discard the letter as he believed that there was a possibility that it might be true and that a damsel needed his help.
...unfortunately for the three men who were against it, the words of his recent friend resounded constantly in his head even now. He had said to him that it was the responsibility of a man rescuing a woman in distress!!
...Well, he had also said that after the girl had been rescued, it was now her responsibility to give her hero a great reward. At that time he had disproved his words by saying that it was not right to ask someone for money after you've saved them, but then this friend began to explain some things that just left him confused...
Even though he did not understand very well what his friend was referring to and that it was not money what he was asking for, he did not find anything wrong and couldn't refute what he said... although if his guards had listened to it, they would probably have told him that that was worse than asking for money.
So without being able to stop the prince, those three men had no choice but to accompany him here... well, only two of them had that responsibility. The other had no choice because if something bad happened to the prince, his fate would be even worse than facing the problems they had now.
”Hahaha, I really didn't thought this stupid plan would be successful! Who would have thought that the prince's guards were idiots and gullible?! ”
”Hahaha, I told you that I had seen the prince in a small guild acting as an adventurer. I should stay with a bigger part from what we will get because of this!”
” We must take care of these three first, and then we will discuss things more calmly later”
”Certainly. Although all of us are on the 9th limit just like them, the two guards are really hard to deal with even with 2 of us fighting each of them. ”
”Hehehe, but they won't be able to do much after their energy runs out, it's only a matter of time.”
” ” ... ” ”
The three of them of course weren't fools, they knew that everything written in the letter was most likely product of someone trying to lure the prince to that place for an obscure motive, so the first thing they did was to check if there was indeed someone who needed help.
It was a pity that these 5 men they were fighting now, took the trouble to kidnap a little girl who they probably took from the streets of the capital randomly, and they not only send the letter waiting without a plan. So when the prince saw that someone was indeed gagged inside, they knew it would be difficult to convince him to withdraw.
… Well, maybe they have a little fault too. When they investigate first, they only saw 3 of these men. So, having confidence in their abilities, the royal guards thought that it would not be difficult for each of them to take care of one of the evildoers while Rulnemt entertained the last one... that way they could defeat them, and they would not abandon the little girl either.
But then when they started fighting, two other men showed up complicating the whole thing. When these men joined, things had become difficult for them having to go against two of them at the same time... also, Rulnemt had just entered the 9th limit just recently, so it was obvious that he was at a disadvantage against someone who has been several years at that level of strength.
It was exactly as one of those men said, the more time they spent crashing their weapons, things for them would became worse...
”Hahaha, I've got you!!”
After fighting for a while, the guard who looked a little older than the other was cornered by his two attackers...
”No... I got you”
”Gueg !!”
But when the sword of one of his opponents was about to pierce his armor, a glow appeared for a second stopping the attack and leaving the man shouting with glee surprised for a second. At that instant, the guard's sword pierces his enemy's chest instead.
”D-Damn it... be careful! Don't be careless and remember that they are royal guards after all… they probably have some dangerous items with them. ”
”Treko stop hiding!! We need help here!!”
”Tch… you all are useless. I told you that I and my men would only be in charge of watching the surroundings so that no one else came to this building and then all of you had to take care of things here ”
Seeing that one of his team had lost one men and it would be much more difficult to go one-on-one against the guards, someone yells as he directs his vision to a dark place of the building. A few seconds later after his voice echo through construction, three men showed making the faces of the 3 from the Prince's group to become somber.
” Y-You're Treko-san from the brotherhood ”Warriors Delna”... why you're here? ”
As a former guild leader, Rulnem instantly recognized the men emerging from the shadows. They were members of one of the 3 strongest organizations in the kingdom, so their face was well known after all.
” You must be Rulnemt… it is no wonder that your small organization grew so much in such a short time, it even seems that you reached the 9th limit. But well, since you were hiding the little prince there, that wouldn't be so difficult to accomplish.
You shouldn't be so surprised, it is only that just like you I also want to get some advantages from him”
” Do you understand what you are doing?! After this, your group would be finished, the King will surely want all your heads! ”
”Hehehe, that will only happen if the people of the royal household find out about this… by the time we ask and take our rewards in exchange for the prince, I will have already moved my guild to a different place… well, the most important people at least.
If the king wants to vent his anger with the useless people I'll leave behind, then he is free to do so. The only regret... or rather, the only annoyance is that I will have to change the name of my organization in the future... hehehe, as your last words, I can hear some of your suggestions for it. ”
Seeing as the situation had worsened, the guard who was shot by Alexander earlier discharged his anger with screams at the new people who appeared. It was a pity that with these men joining, it will not take a long time for him and Rulnemt to be covered in wounds and in the ground unable to move.
”Ha ... Ha ... this was actually more difficult than I thought...”
”P- Prince... ha ... ha ... use the teleportation scroll!!”
”B-But then you all...”
” He is right, if you escape, I will kill these men, do you understand?
No... if you escape, then should I torture them first and then kill them? After all, surely some of those who are still alive here will have some resentment with them. ”
Of the 7 enemies in the 9th limit, now only 4 were still alive. As they had said, the guards had several resources with them with which they achieved this result despite being at a disadvantage... besides, of that 4, only 2 could move well... even the one who spoke, Treko, had lost one of his men and the other was now seriously injured. So if they tortured them, he would probably be the first to do it so he could release his frustration.
”I-I will not escape... I-I will not abandon my friends and a girl! I-I'll take care of all you!! ”
”Oooh ~! That's admirable, little one. Even I'm a little moved to see you act that way. ”
”P-Prince...”
