Kingdom Life <book 1>

Chapter 2

Lisa's POV

As soon as Sayo had left Kirito rushed over to my cellar and pressed himself against the bars
"Was he too harsh with you?!" He'd ask very upset
"Uhm.. depends on how you look at the situation I guess.." I'd reply
"But really, where did he beat you?!!" He'd be even more upset now
"Why does it matter, it's nothing, really." I'd say and bite my lip
"Why don't you just tell the truth for once. I can see that you're bleeding from your forehead!" He'd say but try to keep more calm
"Oh, I don't know how I got that cut" I'd say and shrug
"How can you not have realized it?" He'd say and stare at the cut for the third time
"Can you maybe stop staring? It's kinda creepy" I'd say and look down at my feet
"Ohh.. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to be a creep in any way.." he'd say and step a bit away from the bars
"You're Kirito, right?" I'd ask him and lift my right eyebrow.
"Yeah, how'd ya know..? And more importantly, who are you?" He'd reply, I could see how much he was questioning stuff and trying to put dots together
"Uhm... that, I won't tell." I'd state
"Aww C'mon! You have to tell me!!" He'd say and get hyped
"I won't tell ya', deal with it" I'd say and walk farther away from the bars, I'd sit on the ground, right in the middle of my cellar
"Aww man, that really sucks" he'd reply
"Yup, by the way, when am I even getting out of here?" I'd ask him and throw myself backwards and lie down on the ground
"I dunno, but if you tell us what we need you'll be out in a few weeks." He'd state and try to smile to make a false hope up
"Well, can you get your friend? I'll just get this over with, I actually have somewhere to be right now.." I'd say and lie to get him to fall for my trick
"Sure, but, Uhm... where would you have to be?" He'd ask and look at me, he'd lean against the wall right beside my cellar
"At the home taking care of my younger siblings.." I'd lie
"Really..? Who are they with right now!?" He'd ask and start to get a bit upset again
"Themselves, I was out to find food because we didn't have anymore, we didn't even have enough golds for food so I had to steal to get them food..anything for them..." I'd continue lying and start sobbing false
"Really....?" He'd ask "no, no, no, please don't cry.." he'd say and I'd pretend to wipe the last tears away
"It's.. fine..." I'd say and try my best to sound a bit out of air like you sometimes do when you've cried, I've had to much of experience with fighting those.
"I guess.." he'd say feeling guilty

The room felt oddly silent, and out of nowhere, Sayo kinda pops out.
"Well, well, well.." Sayo would say, "what a sad lil' story of yours"
I'd just stare at him and follow him with my eyes
"No words?" He'd say and grin
"Two words." I'd say and laugh so it was obvious that I was laughing false
"Wow, you're so funny, look, I'm laughing, ha. Ha. Ha." He'd roll his eyes and walk out to get some dinner for me
"What was all that about?" Kirito would ask
"I don't know to be honest" I'd reply
"Odd." He'd state
"Yup." I'd answer

Sayo would come back carrying a cup of water and some bread, seeing this brought back memories about my older brother, Malcolm. He was a strange guy, his favorite food was bread and water? Just, what even..?
Sayo came over to the cellar and unlocked the door. He'd place the tray of food on the ground right next to me.
He'd turn to leave but I'd grab his sleeve and make him stop
I'd think, shall I punch him in the face or ask him about what questions he wanted me to answer?
