Chapter 22: Human Hunting (3)
“Ooh, I’m looking forward to it.”
I found myself licking my lips. I reacted to Jack’s words appropriately while being cautious to not let my emotions show. He was completely drunk now. He kept repeating the same words, so playing along wasn’t difficult.
“We’re here! The place where a fairy lies asleep. It doesn’t feel appropriate to call her a slave. Hey! You guys have been protecting the jewel well, right?”
Jack had taken me to a place where a considerably massive carriage was parked. Two hired soldiers were playing card games in front of it. They only gave Jack a curt nod. They seemed annoyed by his presence since they were already staying up all night to keep watch. They didn’t even raise their gazes from their cards.
“Yes, we have. Damn it. One pair.”
“Two pairs. You lost, retard. Pay up.”
I almost snickered out loud. Damn it and pay up, these were terms they were saying indirectly towards Jack. As expected of a drunkard, Jack didn’t realize he was being sworn at.
“She might be asleep. Haha. I’ll open it slowly.”
He opened the door to the carriage.
