The lackey was running through the castle, for the second time this week.

He was rushing towards the office of the prime minister.

He was in such a hurry, that he didn't even think about knocking at the door.

As soon as he entered the room, seeing the shock on his face, his heavy breathing and most importantly the fact that he didn't knock, the prime minister knew.

I'll hang him later, he thought, now we got more important things to do.

-It's them again ? he asked the lackey clearly out of breath.

-Yes...sir, he said between two breaths, but there's something different this time...

The prime minister was very attentive to each word he said , not only because it was different but also and mostly because he didn't call him sir the second time.

-And how is it different ? he said after a moment of silence, giving the lackey enough time to try and make for his mistake. 

The lackey didn't say sir again.

I'll torture him before hanging him, he thought.

-They killed them all, sir, said the lackey after finally recovering his breath, they didn't let one as a witness this time, sir...

-Hmmmm, I see, they are getting more and more violent, he said while touching his long beard, good now go rest a bit, eat and drink as if it was your last day on this earth, you deserved it, he said with a large smile on his face.

-Yes sir, thank you sir, said the lackey before bowing and leaving the office.

- And don't you say a thing to a single soul, he added right before the lackey left.

-Guards, prepare the torture room and a rope, and catch that lackey.

They are becoming a real danger, but i can't put too much troops on their case, or it would look like we consider them as more than just mere bandits, hmmmm well it's not like it matters to me, they don't approach my castle and all they do is kill some guards and attack some merchant caravane, maybe I'll eventually send an assassin or two, oh well all this got me really tense a little session of torture will do me the greatest good.

He then went to his wardrobe to put on his torture tenue.

-I WANT CANDYYYYYYYYYYY

-Alright Neila, you'll have candy, when we reach next town i'll buy you as much candy as u want, said Sfar

-Oh sweetheart, you are buying her way too much candy, she'll end up sick, said Rosa

-Yes, and she always get what she wants, and I never get anything, said Moris clearly upset.

-Ugh you fuckers, the king will hang you by th...

Scaf crushed his trache by putting his boot on it.

-Shut up, you scumbag, working with the prime minister and his corrupted nobles.

Some of the guards where still standing, the one that throw an arrow in the face of the teenage girl was still in shock.

He was sure his arrow did hit.

It actually did hit.

What he wasn't expecting was that she would catch it with her teeth.

He prepared himself to shoot a second arrow but he was too late.

She was already at his level, attacking from under him, she throw an uppercut that was so powerful it went through his helmet and crushed his jaw, causing him to have an internal bleeding, killing him in place.
