Chapter 50: Troublemaker
"Oh, that’s cool, I guess. Well, now that you’re all healed up, you can be on your way." Kai wanted nothing to do with someone of that importance, and he thought it would be best to part ways before anything serious happened
"W-Wait! You’re going to leave me? As your princess, I demand that you take me to safety." Tyria knew she would be in danger if Kai and Gwen left her. Judging by how her pursuers were killed, she assumed they were powerful and thought it about be best to stick with them for now.
"Bitch, even if you were a god I still wouldn’t listen to you. Fuck off and leave us alone." While Kai could hypnotize her, he didn’t think that it was necessary. Not only that, he wasn’t trying to mind control every person he came across.
Gwen tugged at his shirt. "Kai, she’s the princess!"
"And?"
"We could get a reward if we help her out!"
He looked at Tyria, and she was nodding in agreement with Gwen.
"No. Gwen, if I weren’t as strong as I was, we would have been dead. Even if we didn’t help her and wanted no part in whatever’s going on in the royal family, we still would have been killed because we saw what those men were going to do to her. We should have been silenced."
"That’s fair, however, that didn’t happen." She argued
Kai grabbed his head in frustration. "No, listen. Being involved with her means we’ll have a target on our backs. The strongest person there was Tier-6, so what if they send someone stronger? I may be tier-10, but I’m at the bottom of that Tier. If someone stronger than me comes after us, we’re fucked. Better yet, what if we get framed? Or hunted? Hell, even if we do successfully transport her back to the capital, what’s stopping others from coming after us simply because we helped her? The risks are way too high. At least monsters are predictable."
Tyria chimed in. "I’ll make sure that doesn’t happen."
