90 Princess Darlene I (1/2)
(Few hours before the opening of the Steel Chick)
”Welcome to Emir” said Joel, as he stepped out of the teleportation beam with Glacia and was welcomed by newly built houses and stores. The sun was directly above his head and showed no signs of rain whatsoever.
”This place looks empty” Glacia said as she studied the environment just like she was taught. The streets were empty just like Glacia said, to avoid any unwanted attention Joel and Glacia were teleported away from the castle and crowded places.
Also since Catalie warned something about teleporting into a building might cause some unforeseen consequences, Joel and Glacia weren't directly teleported into Warren's castle.
Unlike the capital of Emir, the streets Joel and Glacia walking were not crowded. After getting used to living in Everlight, Emir was like a desert to Glacia as this place seriously lacked in greenery. Glacia and her friends in Arrora's team would go outside of the training hall whenever they could and help Amaryll in the kitchen or the dwarves and elves in the construction works.
Everywhere she turns she could only see stones and wasteland and mountains, there was a small man-made way that led to what seemed like an entrance to the small town.
”There is nothing here except stones” Glacia kicked a pebble on the way.
”It's Emir, what do you expect miss Glacia?” Joel said with a small grin on his face and started to walk towards the small town.
”You can call me Glacia”
”You can call me Joel” Joel held his hand out to shake Glacia's hand which she did after a few seconds. When Joel shook Glacia's hand he couldn't help but notice that it was too soft and it was almost like touching a slightly cold fluffy cotton.
”Okay Joel, before we proceed I need you to do somethings for me so I can protect you when or if we face any troubles”
Joel was taken back by little surprise when he heard Glacia but he nodded anyway. Glacia pointed her finger indicating the number one
”First if we enter into battle hide yourself no heroics”
Glacia knew Joel was just a spymaster without special training in battle like herself. Although Joel was embarrassed by the point protected by a woman, he realized if he entered the battle that he would only be a hindrance rather than a help to Glacia.
Seeing Joel nodding his head Glacia raised another finger and said
”Do not eat or drink anything from anyone unless it's approved by me”
”I'm a spy you know that right?”
Joel was trained to professionally pretend to eat or drink in the events and didn't want Glacia to remember.
Galicia seemed to don't mind Joel's remark as she raised her third finger
”This is the most important one, DO NOT GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT ME” Glacia's gentle voice turned into a voice of domination when she said the last part.
”Anywhere?” Joel frowned and asked thinking about nature's call in his mind.
”Just tell me when you are going to the latrine”
Usually the girls he knew blush or shy away when talking something like this but Joel didn't see any shyness or blush in Glacia's face.
”Anything else?”
”yes, that's all I can think for now” Glacia gestured at Joel to walk as he nodded and started walking
While following Joel, Glacia was analyzing her surroundings and looking for places that could be used to set up an ambush. The tall mountains surrounding her were too far from them to be attacked unless the attackers were long-ranged combat mages, there were no trees or obstacles as far as Glacia could see enemies to hide behind.
”Relax this place might look empty but it's still a part of Emir, no one would attack us” after noticing Glacia scanning the place with her two big beautiful eyes, Joel felt the need to reassure her.
”You misunderstood Joel, actually I'm hoping that we get attacked”
”What the?” Joel clearly didn't expect this answer
”Since I begin my training I was only attacking dummies you know, it'll be great to fight with someone more alive and moving”
Joel stopped walking and stood there for a moment with an opened mouth and a widened eyes ”What have they done to you?” Joel blurted
Glacia sighed softly ”I know what you are thinking Joel, a cute bunny like me” Glacia grabbed her two bunny ears and shook them
”Talking about killing, but cute will only get me killed just like his majesty Knight said during our training”
”You are right ” Joel was aware of what would happen to a beautiful girl like her who fell into the hands of those filthy nobles but the girl standing before him was a different girl from the naive weak girl he met first.
Joel continued to walk as Glacia followed him behind,
