The Villainess is my Boss 2

Chapter 10: Kingdom of Moon

Since the season of Frost already began, my parents equipped me with warmed clothes and several gold coins to buy whatever I might need.

Each kingdom issues gold coins in different shapes, but all of them are accepted in the other two countries and so I will have no problem to pay with them.

After the main gate disappeared on the horizon, I reached a crossroads.

(First I should find a city and an inn.)

Near the crossroad is placed a signpost showing many destinations.

(It seems, that the closest city is straight ahead.)

While I was thinking about where to go, a horse-drawn wagon stopped near my place and its driver asked me whether I want to ride with him. But since he was heading back to the border, I rejected it.

„Thanks, but I want to go this way."

„No problem, good luck."

(Now I wonder how is this place developed in comparison to my home.)

I was following the road until I reached a wooden bridge leading across the river. In comparison to bridges in my old country, this one looked too cheap. But it was the only way to the other side and so I walked ahead.

(Rrrrrrrgrrr...)

(Huh?!)

All of a sudden, 4 people riding, what looked like hovering motorbikes, surrounded me. In my old country we had cars and motorbikes, but none of them could fly, because it would require big amount of magical energy. They used wheels instead... wheels similar to the ones old wagons had, but enhanced with slime fluids to reduce vibrations.

(How can they use so much energy to keep them flying?)

„Umm... what we have here? A young lady going for a walk?"

„If you want to cross this bridge, you have to pay us."

„Why? Is it your bridge?"

„Yeah... that is right, it's ours. Hahaha..."

„Mmm... so how much do I need to pay?"

I didn't want to pay them, because they more looked like bandits than keepers, but If I could solve it quickly with 1 or 2 coins then I would rather do so.

„Everything you have. Hahaha."

„But... I need money to pay for an inn."

„No. You can just sleep under the bridge."

„Eeeh?"

„But you are quite beauty, so maybe you could pay us..."

(Rrrrr..., thump)

He didn't finish his words. Suddenly another person riding the same machine, arrived at the scene and knocked him to the ground.

„What the hell are you doing you idiot!? Just rob her, no flirting!"

„Ahh... I am sorry, boss."

They were all wearing black armors with helmets in the same color on their heads. The one, who just arrived seems to be a woman.

„Thanks."

„Huh?! Why are you thanking me, you bitch?! I told them to rob you... hahahaha... this is good! You are the first one, who thanked us for being robbed. But I have to say, that you really are quite beauty. Let me take a closer look at you."
