Chapter 37: Surrounded
Tamae and Brukk were on guard. They saw the creature they had feared before—the Prince of Ant Bee—but a few moments later, Brukk furrowed his brows.
"That's not the Prince of Ant Bee. What exactly is that?" His gaze shifted toward Niva.
The Princess of Ant Bee was indeed very unfamiliar, since most born from the Ant Bee colony were male princes.
Almost never was a Princess of Ant Bee born.
While Brukk's attention was fixed on Niva, Tamae's eyes were on another creature she had never seen before. No fur, yet it had eyes, a nose, ears, and hair.
Tamae tilted her head. "Why is a demi-human of the ape race here? Was she captured by the Ant Bees?"
Tamae looked concerned because the creature in front of her didn't have much fur. She was certain it had been tortured by the Ant Bees.
She drew her sword and pointed it at Niva. "You've gone too far. Torturing an innocent demi-human like that. I won't let this continue."
Brukk saw Tamae pointing her sword at the Ant Bee leader. He quickly tried to grab Tamae's hand and lower her arm, but failed.
Tamae was stronger than him. "Miss, now is not the time to cause trouble. Let one of my kin be the victim. Your life is far more valuable," he said.
But Tamae ignored Brukk's words. Her righteous spirit was far too strong. She couldn't bear to see anyone suffer. She would save them, even if it meant risking her own life.
