231 The Jewel and The Arrogant One (1/2)
The dwarves, however, put extra armor, weapons such as swords, bows, arrows, and new outfits for Don in a separate cupboard. The Jewel could simply accommodate five to seven people without them feeling crowded and the ride felt remarkably smooth and comfortable.
”What's your endgame here, Don?”
”What do you mean?”
”You know what I mean, Don, it's a good thing what you have been doing but I know Don, I know you're doing this for vengeance”
Don calmly listened to her sitting leisurely on the sofa
”Why don't you just go and kill whoever you want, Don, why go to all this trouble?”
Reghys asked as she noticed the aura around him turning colder and murderous
”Yes, with little more power and proper planning, I can kill them, I can kill every single one of them”
Even though she was a dragon and strong-hearted, even she felt a little afraid looking at his killing intent.
”But no I won't do that, death would be a mercy for them. I want to break everything they have built, piece by piece, brick by brick, I will make them feel what I felt, I want them to feel helpless, hopeless, weak”
Reghys was taken back by shock as he continued
”When they cry and beg for death, I will slowly, very slowly, burn them alive, just like they did to everyone I loved”
”Who?”
Don shook his head as the killing intent in his eyes slowly started to disappear
”I won't say who, Reghys, when the time comes, you'll know, and don't worry about the safety of our people, I've lost enough and I'm not planning to lose them too”
Reghys sighed as she thought about the ones who wronged him and felt pity for them. Every word he uttered was soaked in anger and hatred and she knew that he meant every single word.
After this conversation, they continued the journey in silence while the sound of heavy downpour gradually disappeared as they started to feel the hot and dry air.
When Don opened the window beside him, he noticed the people of Sigalla ogling at them and talking to each other in wonder. He could tell that the lack of water had taken its toll on these people by looking at their dry skin and thin bony bodies. During his last visit, he was able to see some greenery here and there but now, the place resembled a desert.
”Is there a way to bring water to these people before we build the dam?”
”Hmm, these people do look miserable”
Reghys said and pondered about the issue for a moment
”We could build balloons and fill them with water instead of air and pour the water into their water source, it might cost us hundreds of gold coins though”
”How long does it take? It'll be great if we could do that before we open our business here”
”We have the materials we need to make the balloons and although we can use our teleporter to bring them to Sigalla, I'd recommend you find another way”
”We can use Queen Sienna, she can open up a portal from Agoria to Sigalla”
”Great”
As they kept traveling, more buildings such as bakeries, houses, and shops started to appear in their sight as well as people who looked a little better than the ones he saw previously.
”Your majesty, the royal guards of Sigalla is waiting for us”
Don heard Arwen's voice in his mind through the Khal as the carriage slowed down.
”Let's see the hospitality of Sigalla”
Reghys said as she stood up and waited for Don to step out of the carriage.
And when the black-armored guards opened the door for Don, he saw a group of guards in full sky blue metal plate and chainmail waiting for him.
”King Don”
As he stepped out of the carriage, a knight with a young face came to greet him.
Don expected at least General Brown would come to welcome him but all he got was a teenager in Knight armor.
”King Don, this is”
The Knight confusedly looked at Don and he didnt care what the knight might be thinking as he asked the Knight.
”This is Lady Reghys, my advisor, and who you might be?”
