Save (Gusion x Lesley)

Chapter Seven

Another day passed. Another day of not finding a clue where she could find Harley.

Lesley sighed after she threw another branch to the bonfire.

She was actually losing hope on finding Harley but she would immediately shake off that idea.

No, I will find Harley. I will.

She looked at the map that a kind vendor gave her earlier. The map of the whole Land of Dawn. The vendor informed her that she was in the southern part of the Moniyan Empire.

She looked closely and saw that there was a kingdom in the southern part of the empire.

Swan Kingdom.

"Never heard of this kingdom before." Lesley whispered.

She folded the map and decided to get some sleep before she travelled to the next town.

=====

"Yes, that's what I heard."

"It was said that the group also attacked the other cities as well."

"Does the empire already know about this?"

"Yes, they have sent one of their best warriors for this matter. I heard she's the sister of the leader of the Moniyan warriors."

Fanny? Lesley thought as she accidentally heard the conversation of the city people she was currently in.

She was showing a picture of Harley and asking people if they saw him, but she was receiving the same answer from them.

No.

Sighing, she decided to rest for a while since she was quite tired already. She had been walking since dawn, and it was almost noon now.

She was about to buy some fruits then she noticed a little girl with big ears and pink hair with a tail.

Lesley cocked her head to the right as she stared at the girl carefully.

Her appearance looks familiar.

The girl was actually eyeing the fruits in front of her. Lesley could even see hearts in her eyes.

"Do you want some fruits?" Lesley asked the girl.

"Will you give me if I do?" The girl asked hopefully.

Lesley chuckled and nodded, "Of course. What do you want?"

"Can I have strawberries? I haven't tasted those because Miya said they were expensive." The girl said.

The southern part of the Land of Dawn had actually tropical climate, so growing of strawberries was quite hard. Maybe that was why strawberries were expensive in these places.

Lesley heard a faint "Excuse me, have you seen a cat elf girl with pink hair?" on the background. Lesley calculated that she had enough money to survive for a month.

She smiled, "Okay. You can have strawberries."

The little girl's face lighted up into a smile before jumping with joy. The vendor was also smiling while handing the strawberries to the little girl.

"Thank you miss! Thank you!" The little girl exclaimed, "You're so kind! I wish all people are like you!" She bit on the strawberry, "Unlike those bad people who hurt a human and her saber-toothed tiger. If I didn't saw and saved them, I didn't know what will happen to them."
