Chapter 98 - 98: Vadne (1/2)
”So what your name girl”, Lambert asked throwing a glance at the thief girl, who was admiring her new ebony knife, as he picked up the female ȧssassin, throwing her over his shoulder like a bag of potatoes.
”Ah, yeah I never told you?”, The girl exclaimed before straightening her posture and holding out her hand, ”My name is Vadne, and you”
”Lambert”, the old paladin said as he took her hand, giving it a firm shake.
”So, mind if I follow you?”, Vadne suddenly asked after shaking Lambert's hand.
”Trying to use me as your own bodyguard are you?”
”What? No!”, Vadne retorted with shock, but it soon crumbled under Lambert's gaze.
”What's the big idea, not like they can hurt you, and you will have a beauty like myself accompanying you, so you should be grateful.”
”First, they can hurt me...maybe, second, how would I know you are a beauty when I can't even see your face, all I see is a flat ċhėst and ȧss, if it weren't for your voice I might have taken you for a man”
”Screw you grandpa!”, Vadne yelled as she the ebony dagger into Lambert's stomach.
The dagger bȧrėly pierced the skin before getting stuck in his steel fiber-like muscle strands.
”Holy-shit”, Vadne yelled when she finally felt what it was like stabbing Lambert. 'It's like stabbing a tree with an iron fork, pointless'.
”Are you done?”
An annoyed voice brought Vadne from her thoughts, looking up she saw Lambert looking at her with a somewhat angry look on his face. Vadne first just turned her face sideways in confusion, she didn't know what she did to anger the goliath of a man like this, but it soon came to her and she quickly pulled the ebony dagger out of Lambert with a frantic look.
”I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was just, No!, I mean it just...” Vadne furiously tried to explain but was muted when a giant clamped onto her face.
”Mhhh!!!....Mhhhh!!!”, Vadne yelled and struggled, the sight of what happened to the ȧssassin when her head was grasped like this was still vivid in her mind and she did not want to experience the same fate.
”Quite now”, While struggling she suddenly heard Lambert's voice whisper into her ear. She immediately obeyed and set down. Not long after the hand loosened its grip and pulled away from her.
”What was that about, I could have suffocated!”, as soon as she got the chance Vadne immediately complained.
”You stabbed me”
”Well, it's not like it hurt you or anything!”
”You stabbed me”
”Well it was your own fault, you called me flat”
”You stabbed me”
”Uhm, maybe I went a bit overboard”
”You stabbed me”
”Ok, I'm sorry! They're happy now?”
”It will do... for now”, Lambert said, turning around and followed the road with the ȧssassin still hanging like dead weight on his shoulder.
