Bandit Chief POV
Ha. The village is ours. We had so much money now.
"Kill them all!"
I couldn't help but laugh. No one could save them. The knights were too selfish, and the other villages were too scared of us.
Just to think, a few days ago, we were worried about starving.
"Mam, please spare us."
The village leader looked at me in a pleading look.
"Why should I do that? You could give me something."
The old man wasn't that appealing, but I could help myself to his son. Upon seeing my look, they both cringed.
"You're disgusting!"
The son yelled. He was angry at me for burning his village.
"Oh, please. You weren't giving us food, why should I spare you?"
"We offered a discount even; you wanted us to give it to you for free. We need that money to live."

"Bu-"
"Take this, I hope it's enough to compensate."
"I don't need money."
"Ah, how noble. We thank you again for your great service to us."
Then they left, singing Royce's praises. He looked at me with a look that said, 'the heck just happened.'
"Let's just go."
I agreed and let him back onto my back. We flew and the people were whooping.
"I'm just worried about what everyone else will think."
I laughed.
"Mammon and my siblings will think it's hilarious."
"The king will be annoyed but accept it."
"Jalad and Dallel..."
"They'll kill me."
"Yep."
