22 Aftermath of The Attack. (1/2)
Lance returned to The Portsmouth, at least what was left of it. The ruin of the fortress and damaged manor, in combination with the number of unwanted casualties on the Portsmouth, just add the remnants of what used to be the main trade port.
He walked around the town while carrying his HK416 on his hands and M249 LMG on his back. He wore a Navy BDU with a black helmet, he also wore an IMTV without the additional protector like the groin, elbow, etc.
He looked around at the rubble of a building, the citizens were surrounding the remnants of their houses and their workplaces. Some of them were crying because of their houses while the others were crying on top of their love ones. Anyone can clearly saw the mourning aura from everyone around.
The middle of the streets, which was used to be full of carriages, now full of massive cremation of the dead bodies. The alleyway that was used by the pirates to extort him and Amara now were buried under the burning rubble of the building. The seagulls were eating on the dead bodies of the pirate.
The happy place had changed into a sad and sorrowful place. However, things were made way worse by the presence of the Soulisphate soldier that sometimes got into hot and almost deadly verbal arguments. Well, almost everything was under control, Almost...
”MOVE THE WAY FOR THE PRINCESS!!!” A knight in front of a carriage shouted.
”I beg your pardon, sir, but traffic is not allowed in this road. Please take a detour either to the left or right,” The soldier said politely.
The soldier was a member of the Marines. He held his M4 and wore a green beret. Lance clearly can see the badge Raider on his clothes, he was not an ordinary grunt. Lance approached him and asked, ”Soldier, let me handle this. Sir, can I talk to the princess?”
”Do you know who you are talking to?” He shouted because he was a knight, and Knight is a nobility status.
”Do you know who you are talking to? Let me meet the princess,” Lance said as the 125mm smoothbore gun of the M1A2 Abrams was turned against his head. ”This thing will shoot your princess until no remnants of her are left,” Lance threatened.
”You!!!” The knight rambled, but he did his job, which was calling the princess.
The princess came down from the carriage. She wore a very white dress and wore black shoes.
She approached Lance, ”Who are you?” She asked him.
”Princess Isabella, Don't you think it's a coincidence?” Lance said as he took off his sunglasses.
”Well, well, well. Rising from the grave, huh? Mr. Sharrington, let's talk to somewhere more privately, shall we?” She asked as she walked to the nearest back alley, followed by Lance from behind.
”Princess, don't do that,” The knight said, but his hand got grabbed by the Marine, ”Sorry pal, but this is our turf.”
After Lance assured that nobody followed them, Lance grabbed his Five-seveN and put the tip of the barrel at the back of Princess Isabella's head, ”Nice try, but I won't be fooled the third times in a row.” Isabella tried to turn around, but ”Any sudden movement and I blow your head clean off with as much mess as if you are a helpless pup.”
”Mr.Sharrington, what the fuck?” She said.

Lance retreated and changed the weapon into the HK416, and aimed it at her head again, ”Strip!”
”Are you nuts, Lance? It's me, Isabella, don't you recognize me?” She asked.
”Now!!” Lance shouted as the princess surrendered and stripped her clothes one by one, starting from her shoes and then her clothes and so on. Lance was right since there was a hidden dagger on his shoes.
”Well, it looks like you are clean, so Isabel, what do you want to talk about, or do you want a special service of putting you on the ground right now?” Lance asked.
”Lance, what the hell? What do you mean?” The princess said while wearing his undergarment, only, which was Victorian underwear.
