They could hear the cheers of the people echoing from a distance. One of the soldiers spoke to his comrade, ” It looks like they are having fun. ”
The organizers were still cleaning the venue, even it was already cleaned, their reason there bored. A soldier of them noticed a little girl entered the soldier who stood guard at the entrance stopped the little girl.
The soldier then spoke, ” Sorry little girl but this area is still not open for people yet. Return here later with your parents, I'm sure they are looking for you right now. ”
But the soldier noticed something odd about the little girl, it was her clothes and jewelry she was wearing. The soldier immediately thought, [ this kid might be a daughter someone rich. She is, wearing the most presentable and beautiful dress, that I've seen in all the kids I've encountered, also here jewelry is kinda expensive, is that real Sapphire, well it matches her eyes. ]
The little girl had blond hair and Sapphire blue eyes that match her necklace. She had white skin, which you would think that she was slightly pale, and she had a very adorable face.
Even the soldier was captured by her adorableness, he even said to himself, [ I wish my child would look like her. ]
” The little girl then spoke to the soldier, ” Excuse me mister but why I'm not allowed to go in that place? ”
The soldier replied, ” well we are waiting for the king to arrive, as our place will open when he arrives to take a look at our products. ”
The little girl asks the soldier another question, ” Mister what is that thing your carrying. The soldier spoke, well it's a rifle and it's quite dangerous so I suggest you should not play with this. ”
The little girls then asked, ” why is it, dangerous mister? ”
The soldier answered, ” well it can take lives, in other words, it is a tool of war a weapon. O even call it the devil's creation, but to tell you the truth, little girl this thing has saved me, and made an oath towards this thing. '
The letter girl replied, ” Oh, I see mister, but I have to say goodbye, I'm sure y guardians are looking for me now. ”
The little girl waves at the soldier as she was towards the other side. But the soldier saw the girl got pulled into the alleyway by a man's arm.
The soldier immediately runs toward the alleyway where the little girl was pulled. He then saw the little girl getting mugged by some thieves. The girl's necklace got pulled by a thief breaking the gold chains of the necklace.
The little girl screamed, ” please give that back my grandmother gave me that. ”
The thief then mocked the little girl, ” Who cares if it's from your grandmother, it doesn't even suit you so I will be taking this, I'm sure your grandmother only gave it to you because it was ugly. So I will be taking this, so you must be even thanking me for removing something this ugly from your care.”
The little girl screamed to the thief, ” How dare you call my grandmother's favorite necklace ugly, please give it back ( sob ), that is the only thing, grandma left me ( sob ).
The bandit spoke, ” Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, who cares about that, so just stay quiet while we carve some art to your face. Ok, we will also be removing your tongue so you could not speak of our identity. ”
The other thief spoke, ” Hey she can still identify us if she points her finger at us. ”
The first thief spoke, ” don't worry I will surely carve something in her eyes that will surely make her go blind, so my plan is full proof. ”
The second thief spoke, ” wow you are a genius partner. ”
The soldier immediately shouted at the two thieves, ” Drop that necklace and release the girl ” pointing his rifle at the thieves. ”
The thieves were having mixed feelings about the rifle, the first thief felt something was off about the iron rod that was pointed at them.
The soldier immediately puts the safety to semi-automatic mode. But he remembers the agreement they had with the knights. They will not cause any ruckus during the festival. He knew if he will use the rifle, it would definitely cause a ruckus, so he decided to point down the gun at the floor.
The soldier them spoke to the girl, ” hey little girl listen to me, I want you to close your eyes and cover your ears, and everything will be fine. ”
The first thief thought that man had gone crazy, thinking that the girl closing her eyes and covering her ears would work.
The soldier threw a flash grenade at the thieves, the thieves thought the soldier really got crazy, throwing things at them.
But after a few seconds, while the grenade was in the air, a burst of light blinding the two and sound that they never heard before made them stunned.
