The 10th King

Chapter 2: The Maiden Adventurer

As the masked man looked outside the window, I was assigned by the king, King Jacob was his name.

Righteous, powerful, and oh so caring.

I didnt expect a call from him, so I rushed through the kingdom until I got to his throne.

I bowed down to his superiority. He was doing a magnificent pose which no one can ever copy.

He called it the "T-Pose" for the king can only do.

I asked him, "How can I be at service King Jacob?"

He answered "Well as the only girl in the adventurers, we need your help. There's been another robbery down the coast of Puro Gord, can you help us?"

"Well...Can do! King Jacob!" I replied.

I ran as fast as I can to Puro Gord where all the trading happens. this was the biggest market in Seva Eliva.

There's been countless robberies in this place so I was assigned to protect it.

Well I can't blame them, this job is only for The Maiden Adventurer. I ran through the market looking for sinister looters ransacking items.

As I walk down the path I saw the same cave from where I found the masked Guy. It was really dark inside, you really can't see a thing.

I really need to thank him sometimes. Then I suddenly saw a glimpse of something. Some sort of memory, flowing through my head.

I was in some place where everyting in my sight was burning, that memory was still blurry for me. But it surely happened from the past, some kind of promise?

Well as I was overthinking, a loud scream for help echoed through Puro Gord, my mind then came back, A bandit!?

I ran as fast as I could. I saw him! He's with the basket.

I tapped the lady on the back and said "Don't worry, I'll go get it for you" as I ran chasing the bandit.

The robber jumped off through different walls. I think he's showing off his parkour skills.

I did exactly same thing. He looked shocked that I copied what he did. It wasn't impressive too.

A knife then suddenly appeared from his hand, and throwed it at me vigourously. Goodthing, I eventually dodged it.

The dagger was filled with explosion magic exploding off my path, I almost fell.

I continued to chase him. I think he was also using some sort of speed magic to boost up his agility and he uses some kind of explosion magic to slow me down.

He threw more knives at me. I immediately dodge them so I can't get hurt. But the houses were destroyed though.

The explosions were massive. I couldn't catch up, but as soon as he was out running me I thought of a solution.

As he was running he looked behind him and saw that I was gone.

He stopped for a moment and checked his surroundings.

"Where the hell is she!?" He asked himself.

I suddenly reappeared above him using teleport magic. Which is sadly for one use only. Good thing I caught him.

I saw his face, he had black hair, An eyepatch, a scarf and a scar on his face wearing a ragged black shirt and shorts.

"You look as if you've been in something terrible, what's your name?" I asked him.

"My name's David and please get off me I have better things to do!" He replied with sarcasm

"Let's talk about that later, but first where is the basket?" I asked

"Well you broke it, so... Oh, and look Puro Gord is devastated, well gotta go!" He said

I looked and saw. He was right, the path I made... was filled with chaos. Everyone stared with cold glares at me.

I turned around and saw that David was gone and so was the basket.

There ended my mission...

I went home blank and filled with questions. I couldn't get the chance to help the lady.

I was disppointed at myself and just kept silent...

...but I could have stopped him.

I went back to King Jacob and apologized. He accepted my apology and I went home.

The people from Puro Gord also had it rough, seeing their shops being destroyed.

"Being an adventurer sure was tough" I said as I punched the wall with hatred as I looked down.

" well...

I was never an adventurer from the beginning anyways. I was treated as only a back up or a look out for looters than killing off different monsters."

I lied to that masked guy about me being great, I was never special, I was only known as a mess up to Seva Eliva.

I should just given up becoming like mom, only King Jacob trusted me with this responsibility...

Then I remembered that I still had some kind of purpose than to just be an adventurer.

As I went home, he immediately said "Hey Sis! I remembered something again!"

"Really? Care to tell?" I said as I gave an apple to him.

Well I am not an adventurer to be exact but I'll always be a maiden to him, and I'll raise him, like how my parents raised me... that was my sole purpose for now.

"Hey Sis! Got any food? I'm hungry"

"Sure I'll buy some" I said with a smile.
