36 Amusemen (1/2)

Prince Flame of Pyr

The people around hasn't move on yet from what they saw. It's been hundreds of years since the people last saw a real dragon. There had been lots of dragons around but suddenly they all disappear. The dragon King which is the one who appear saving Adhiti is the last one. I thought that he had few fellow dragons with him but I am disappointed.

However, it always makes people afraid of them. Because only the pure royal blood of Pyr are the unburnt. We can bend and make fires with our hands and even stole a fire from another torches. But the only thing we can't do is taming the dragons.

”Didn't you saw it?! She burn the ropes!” Falcon argued. It is really hitting my head because of their endless discussion about Adhiti and the thing that she had escaped with the unknown person, but I know who he is.

”She didn't! It was the fire plus someone cut the rope with the arrow.” The Prince next to him France argued back. I know that he's irritated on Falcon's paranoia.

”Aren't you suspected that she tamed the dragon with the person who helped her escaped?” The oldest daughter of the King, Catalina asked. She's quite a criminal minded and yes, she's a smart one. ”We need to capture her immediately.”

I just let out a sigh and look out the wide window and see how the people are doing on the town. I am so tired of hearing their crazy hypothesis. I know that Adhiti is unburnt and can make fire like us, but I don't understand how the dragon find her and didn't even attack her, instead the dragon saved her and he attack us.

”Why are you not cooperating honey? Do you think that it is better to let her go?” my mother speaks behind me who probably just enter the conference room to bring us foods. I turn to looked at her and smile.

”What do you think mother? Is it better to let her go, since her crime is only being a human?” she smiles at me and she put the tray together with the servants.

”The girl looks very lovely and innocent. Is being a human is only her crime?”

”She also attack me, mother.” Falcon interrupted. What an asshole.

”What is the reason that she attack you sweetie? I guess that she only defended herself.” She told him softly. ”Besides, it is not appropriate for the prince to spread ladies' legs without their permission.”

”You heard it, Falcon?” I smirk at him and took a glass of pomegranate juice. ”Catastrophe, is not just a human. She's extraordinary, besides, she's welled-training on defense and attack. Her mentor trained her well.” I wink at him slyly.

There's a silence from my brothers and sisters thinking on the move that they will do next. Then I guess that Catalina will raise her suggestion right away. She really amaze me sometimes but somehow, it is evil. Catalina stood and look down on the map of the whole mystical world where we live. She push the piece of wood that is carved into a dragon to the area of Hydōr.

”They landed on one of the territory of Hydōr. I am sure of that. All we have to do is to warn King Wales about this. I won't let that human, live in our world.” She said it calmly but the last sentence didn't goes calm instead it goes really evil. I smack my forehead inside my mind getting frustrated on these crazy people about the human. Yeah, I just said that my family is crazy, quite pathetic sometimes.

”You all really wanted to kill her?” I asked them. They looked at me with the same dark eyes on me except of Flavia who doesn't care about their crazy plans. It makes me laugh because of their synchronized look however, it didn't look really funny to them. ”You cannot kill her, since she had someone to protect her.”

”Why do you sound like you don't like the idea capturing her?” Marquez the youngest son asked. He's a little paranoid on something or should I say everything. He doubted things and has a trust issue.

”Because, I know her than you all do. Besides, Catastrophe didn't committed any crime. She simply get lost in our world. And the one who saved her, I don't know whoever that person is but I can guess that that person is a professional bounty killer. He killed two guards in the dungeon using Catastrophe's own armors. Did you get my point?”

”Clearly.” Chloe the second daughter nods while eating cookies with meringue that mom made. ”You are also right that she's innocent and did not commit any crime and also just defended herself from being sexually abused by Prince Falcon.” She said it all straight forthright that makes Falcon winced. I sometimes like her for being all honest, blunt and mostly a little annoying. But nobody can ever lie to her because she will immediately find out if the person that she's talking is lying.

”Thank you Chloe.” I smiles at her and she did smile back but it turns into smirk.

”But the professional bounty killer you said need to be executed. He killed two of our guards and help our convict escaped. So why won't we find that killer then, it will be good if we find that girl.”She winks at me and I just laugh on her perfect idea. But I am all against them.

”Perfect!”

”If ever that she's in Hydōr, the King need to be well aware to execute her without any trial.” Catalina stubbornly said as she write a letter to send to the King Wales of Hydōr.

All I just wished is that Nick would hid her carefully. And I just wished that they are not in Hydōr anymore. Catastrophe will be feed to sea monsters in no time. Nobody ever survive on the abyss of the sea. The sea monsters didn't choose people to eat even they are Royal Blood. I remember that one of my cousins committed a great crime to the daughter of King Wales which is ****. He immediately was thrown to the mouth of the sea where sea monsters are living. But I believed that my cousin was seduced by the Princess and they have lots of make out and when she caught that my cousin has another woman, she acted that she was raped. I really can't believe it all. Even my father can't do anything about it.

”Why they get executed right away without a proper trial?” Matilda, our little naïve princess asked. She's also right on her question. Why people can't get a proper trial before execution? Everything around here are all wrong. Even they caught the criminal in action or not. ”The pretty girl didn't commit any crime, right mommy?” she asked mom with those puppy eyes. My mother simply smiles and nods.

Catalina made final decision by sending her letter to the Kingdom of Hydōr through our phoenix that means that it is very urgent. Nobody tamed her besides of mom and dad. She's hard as rock.

Adhiti

It didn't take me long to leave and pack up. I took few fruits and a water for my travel. I had been walking for four hours to find a boat to go to the other side of island. The island is very big that I can guess is the mainland. How would I get there? How did that crazy Nicholas get there? Should I walk through the water?

”No! That is a very bad idea.” I shook my head. ”What should I really do?” when there's nothing come up with my head, I sat down on the grass and pulls a fresh red apple and start eating it. It is really sweet and juicy and I could live only eating apples and drinking these cold fresh water.

When I am done eating, I saw a small boat paddling by some old man around the age of sixty. But he look strong though. The man did not notice me so I pulls my mask up my nose and walk to the water. I dip my left hand on the water and the waves moves him towards my direction. He looks quizzical on why the water is bringing him to my direction.

I pulls the boat closer to the ground that makes him gasped and was about to grabbed his sword but I had grabbed mine and pointed it to him.

”Bring me to the mainland.” I demanded and jump to the boat. He shakily gulped and nods. I pulls two silver coins from my pocket and put it on the seat in front of us. ”I won't kill you. But if you make any crazy plans to attack me, I might will.”

”Y-yes, Milady.” He murmurs and started paddling. I put back my sword on the case on my belt and study his crinkled face. ”W-what makes you go to the mainland, Milady?” he formally asked.

”I am going to meet someone there. How old are you?” I asked him.

”Three-hundred sixty-eight, miss.”

”Oh.” That's all I had said. ”What danger would I get in that Kingdom?” I asked him looking towards the Big Castle that I viewed from here.

”If you are a criminal or a rogue, you will be feed to the sea monsters.” He told. ”This Kingdom are never formal in trial. That's why people around here are afraid on making any crimes.”

”Are there people who really fed on the sea monsters?” I asked him.

”Yes,” he said it grimly and even move his face a little to me. I can see his dark teeth showing and his brown eyes dilated. ”My son, was fed on the sea monsters. He killed his wife's lover when he caught them.”

It makes me stop from his story.

”What happened to the wife? Doesn't they have any children?”

”They never had because she can't bear any child. She's now working in the prostitution. I never like her from the very start. She's very beautiful yet promiscuous. I had seen her with my second son, her husband never caught them though.”

”That's very, sad and depressing.” That's all I said. I don't know how to react with the words but his story is really depressing.

”When you arrived to the mainland, careful not to do anything and hid your weapons. There are guards roaming around.” I look up to see an eagle like bird but its feather is read-orange like a fire.

”The Phoenix! There might be an emergency from the Kingdom of Pyr.”

”Phoenix?” I murmur and hearing the Kingdom of Pyr makes my stomach clenched. ”It would lovely to hear your story but, I think I need to get to my destination ASAP.” I put my hands on the water and lots of fishes surrounded the boat and move us to the mainland. The old man was mesmerized on what I am doing or what the fishes are doing.

”Are you—” he looked at me. ”Not one of the daughter of King Wales?”
