6 Vengeful Promises (1/2)

After the camp's soldiers set up another tent for the young girl, a large wooden tub filled with warm water was sent to her.

However, because only men remain in the armed camp, they merely allowed the young girl to wash herself leaving a few towels and clothes for her.

Soaking into the warm tub, the small girl quietly rubbed the dirt off her palm-sized face and dark hair.

Her previously dirt covered skin was now softly glowing under the steam reflecting her jade-like skin and dewy pink lips.

Rin felt her sore muscles loosen from the gentle warm water.

Once done, she takes the clothes delivered by the soldiers and gently places them on her small body.

Staring down at the moderately large clothes on her little seven-year-old body made her lightly chuckle.

Guess these were the smallest clothes they could find for her.

Looking around at her sanitary surroundings, Rin took notice that her tent wasn't low on decorative furniture. If anything she had everything she'd need. A decent bed, polished table for eating, warm rug, and a coal furnace.

From this observation, Rin could tell these men must come from a wealthy city to be stocked with so many items.

Staring at the fur-covered bed made of what Rin could assume was cotton, her eyes glazed over with a small longing look. Approaching the bed, she slowly stretches her soft hands towards the fur blanket.

So...so soft!

Eyes sparkling the little girl jumps happily onto the soft fur covered sheets with desire. If any of the guards were to see Rin, they'd surely fawn over the round little bun rolling playfully to and fro on the soft bed.

After all, none could blame her. She spent the last few days sleeping on a cold firm ground with dirt, rocks and thin grimy blankets to keep her warm.

Seeing the bed before her was as if receiving a large bag of gold in Rin's book.

Willingly lost in the softness of the fluffy blanket, Rin hadn't noticed the small falcon resting on the rim of the wooden tub.

”Screech--!”
