Chapter 51 - The Don and Villagers Wrath 2 (1/2)

Meanwhile, the whole third district was surprised by the arrival of the four wagons. These vehicles belonged to Richarde's crew, who was ordered to retrieve the high priestess and the children of their chief.

Richarde instructed his coachman to go to the Emorial Inn. He followed his command and headed to the specific place immediately.

Mambo volunteered to patrol the area by himself, but Richarde insisted it was too dangerous to do it alone. Thus, seven men were called under Richarde's command to assist him with his task.

'Mambo is trying his best to reconcile with his master by doing this simple task, huh. He just woke up from his slumber earlier. Man, he must be upset about what happened earlier. I don't know what happened, but he is too paranoid to let us guard the whole inn,' Richarde commented inside his head.

Upon their arrival, Richarde directed his men to surround the area, forming a perimeter of defense against any hostile enemies within the place. No one was allowed to enter as per see. Then, he called four guards to help him out to carry the children into the inn.

He voluntarily carried the high priestess in a princess carry. He heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing her normal condition thus far.

”Sir, where should we take these children?” asked the henchman on the right. ”Take them to the second floor. Find an empty spot and make sure no one is in there. Guard the kids with your life,” Richarde strictly instructed, raising up his index on his hand.

His four men gently went up to the second floor with the unconscious twins.

”Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive our sudden entrance in this peaceful place. May I request for everyone's cooperation to exit the place immediately? We have an urgent mission we need to comply with. Please understand our current position right now. I don't mean to scare you all, but if you truly love your lives, please allow my men to guide you outside of this place. Peacefully,” said Richarde with a beaming smile.

Everyone was stunned at his short explanation.

”Sir. Richarde, what about our bills?” the old man worried. ”Oh, please. You make me blush. Listen up, everyone. All your bills are already credited to my account. So, I'm requesting your full cooperation, people. Men, please guide the customers of my beloved girl out of his place,” Richarde clapped a hand and said with smiling teeth.

”Hey, Blue hair man,” Richarde called the lieutenant of his group. ”Yes, sir?” he asked with a confused face. ”Ask the customers to never say a word about what happened here. If possible, bribe them with our money in the treasury. I don't want to risk the lives of my people for their ignorance. They already saw the priestess and the children here. Tell them to keep it a secret from the public, quick,” Richarde strictly instructed with a grave face, pointing his nose at the innocent civilians outside the inn.”Yes, sir,” the henchmen followed and left the building afterward.

'Where is my beloved Daliah? I need your help right now.'

Richarde's eyes turned sharp upon seeing a small hair strand on the table. He picked it up, he sniffed it like drinking a cup of tea, and he carefully analyzed it to find its owner.

His eyes pupils turned wide after he saw the image of his crush.

'It's from Daliah. She's somewhere here. It cannot be a mistake. Wait, I can smell the little girl too. Wait, Ylla is already an a.d.u.l.t. A legal one. Damn, what kind of sorcery did she use to maintain that child-like figure. I feel bad for Rafel for picking interest in that woman,' Richarde silently jeered on his head.

”You,” Richarde called the guard next to him. ”Sir?” the henchman bewildered at first and moved closer at his side.

”Tell the guards to secure the whole area. No one shall enter the inn as of today. If they ask who ordered it, tell them it is I who said it. C'mon, quick, make haste” said Richarde, spank his henchman's back thereafter. ”Affirmative, sir,” his henchman nodded and rushed outside to tell his comrades about his orders.

Several footsteps came into the lobby. It was Ylla and Daliah in their clerical clothes. The children rushed to their side, and they quickly hid on their backs after they saw the face of Richarde and his crew who were heavily armed with weapons on their bodies.

”What's going on here?” Ylla exploded. ”Mamma mia, this, this, this is madness,” Daliah bewildered at their faces.

'Oof, bad timing,' Richarde flinched upon seeing two beautiful girls in front of him.

”Wait, you misunderstand. You've got it wrong. This is not what you think it is. I love you very much, Lady Daliah. You're the only girl that I love the most. This, this is just a mission. I don't mean to cheat. I swear to gods. I have no intention to lay a hand on the priestess. On behalf of my crew, we are innocent of robbery and ****, okay. By the way, good afternoon, girls,” Richarde tried to explain, but he panicked when he saw Daliah's perplexed expression.

”What the hell are you doing here, Richarde? And, why are you carrying our leader?” quizzed Ylla with a growling gaze. ”I've been tasked by the chief to bring these people in this place. Please believe me, Ylla. You're only ruining my beautiful image to your friend, ” Richarde whimpered.

Suddenly, a red-haired man appeared on the scene and rushed to shield Ylla from the man in front of her.

”Ylla, what happened? Oh, it's the pervert Richarde. Who the hell ― You're excellency!” Rafel bewildered at first and rushed to the front of the unconscious priestess. ”Oi, dude. That's harsh. I'm no pervert, though,” Richarde commented, shedding tears out of his eyes.

'Why is everyone so rude about me? I'm not a bad person, though. Please bring justice to this broken soul.'

”Lady Dahlia, please bring the doctor here now!” Ylla requested, ”Y, yes, Lady Ylla. Kids, please call for my attendants outside and tell them Lady Ylla is asking for their assistance immediately. There is an emergency request,” Daliah instructed, which the kids obediently followed thereafter.

Four attendants responded immediately and rushed to their master's side.

”Lady Daliah, we've come for your aid. What is your first command?” asked Cely, the High Attendant of the four Daliah's special maid squad. ”Cely, prepare a big meal for everyone. Use the ingredients wisely. We have a lot of customers today,” Daliah ordered.

”As you wish, milady,” Cely lowered her head respectfully. Then, all of her fellow attendants went to the kitchen and left the lobby.

”Thank you, Lady Daliah. I'm sure my crew will enjoy the upcoming dinner tonight,” Richarde placed a hand on his c.h.e.s.t and expressed his gratitude to the master of the inn. ”Hmph, it is not only for you and your men. It is for everybody,” Daliah folded her arms across her c.h.e.s.t and said it with an improper response.

'O, ouch, please don't act like that. It is not really hard to say, you're welcome, though,' Richarde cried again inside his heart.

”Sir, bad news. The second floor is already booked for the paid guests. The children have no room to stay,” one of the four guards said, looking for another instruction from Richarde.

”Man, this is bad. My love, can I the third floor?” asked Richarde. ”Okay, send them there,” Daliah agreed without a question.
