~The Scarlet King Is Born~

Volume 1 Of The King

"Talk"

'Thought'
______________
"Hm..."

Late at night, inside a store called "From Dust Till Dawn", which was both run and owned by an older Shopkeeper gentleman, said elderly man was currently reading a book to pass the time, since there was no customer, though that was about to change when he heard the front door opening, which made him stop reading and look to see who it was.

"Hello Mister Shopkeep, it's me again~"

It was none other than Ruby Rose herself, who was in high spirits today and waved happily at the Shopkeeper, who waved back.

"Say hi to him Scarlet~"

And standing next to Ruby was her son, Scarlet Rose, though instead of being a familiar looking boy, he instead looked like a 5 year old boy, with long red hair, slightly bigger antlers, much more sharper teeths, and he even had sharp claws, which seemed recently filed down, he has definitely mature a lot.

"Still shy? I get it, hehe~"

But despite Scarlet's new age, he still acted very childish, like staying close to Ruby and hiding his blindfolded face into her stomach, which made her chuckle and pet her son's head in response.

"I'm looking for something for a sniper, scythe like weapons, do you have anything for that?"

Ruby then looks back at the Shopkeeper and asks for what she needed, which he just simply points at the place.

"Thank you."

Ruby nods in thanks before holding Scarlet's hand and leading him to the place that had her stuff, the Shopkeeper then looks back down at his book and is about to read.

"Put everything in the bag."

However, a certain someone in a white coat, bowler hat and orange hair had entered the store and made his goons aimed a gun at the Shopkeeper's face.

"Oooh, new weapon monthly~"

Back with Ruby, she has found a magazine with all kinds of Hunters and Huntress weapons in it, grabbing it and quickly starting to read it.

"Look at that Scarlet, doesn't that look cool?~"

Though as Ruby was reading it and tried to show some of the weapons to Scarlet, the young deer boy couldn't help but look away and noticed one of the goons noticing them and started walking up to them.

"Hey, have you thought about any weapons you would like? I know you're barely a year old, but at this rate, you'll be big enough to have your own tools for hunting Grimms and beating up bad guys, I'm so excited, OH! Maybe we can be Scythe buddies, how does that sound, would you like-"

Before Ruby could continue explaining and talking to Scarlet, she was interrupted by someone touching her shoulder.

"Hey!"

Rose turned around, very confused, and looked at the Goon that stood behind them.

"Put your hands up where I can see them!"

The Goon had his sword out and was aiming it at the two, surprising the silver eyes, and only making Scarlet growl in response like a wild animal invading his space.

"Are you... Robbing me?"

Ruby, seemingly unconcerned with a weapon pointed at them, raised an eyebrow as she spoke to the goon.

"Yes!"

Goon yelled at the young mother, annoyed that he wasn't getting such a mundane reaction from her.
