BXBX NOVEL Chapter 313 - Chaotic Inn Part --- 1
|| RECOMMENDED SONG: " Play With Fire" By Sam Tinnsez ||
Basarisk was one of the most desired kingdom that one could ever wish to live. Surrounded by natural beauties and all the lovely creatures around, it was one kind of mostly demanded kingdom across the world of BRIGHTMOON. The sky over Basarisk had dragons flying or making their way here and there creating a perfect protectory shade on it. People loved and feared them equally since the dragon only heard their king\'s order.
Cedric made his way for the Inn. He was disguised as a mere creature from the city to lessen the possibilities of inviting more troubles. His kingly aura was suppressed down a lot under his common servant like attire. If others got to know that he was going for the inn, dangers around Jessie would increase more.
He stopped in front of the cave with a dark face. Places like Inn was mostly built inside cave to avoid passer-byers eyes. Though it was allowed legally in Basarisk, the owners prefered to keep it secret from human eyes. Chatters from people started to spread through from the narrow path of Inn. Occasionally a woman\'s enraged voice could be heard from inside. The woman was none other than his younger sister, Isabella.
Frenchies looked up at his master with worry. Well, he wasn\'t worrying about Cedric\'s safety. The people of Inn were in danger more than Jessie.Once Cedric\'s hidden powers brusted out, the place would become nothing but an ash.
Frenchies asked politely, made sure that his voice resounded nothing but a desperate plead,
" My Lord, why don\'t you let me take care of it? Young Princess would be safe. I can assure you that."
Cedric shot him a cold glare before appearing dangerous. He reasoned with a chuckle,
" Well, do you think that I would have come personally if I needed you?"
Frenchies bit down his tongue and retreated on other side. He just acted too naive to invite his own death. He should have understood that nothing else mattered to Cedric except his sisters in this world.
Cedric withdrawed his gaze from the terrified Frenchies. Looking back at his guards who were in charge to follow him around always, Cedric signalled at them to stay here.
Turning around, he walked straight into the Inn with his large steps. Frenchies sucked deep breath for the people who actually dared to tie down their Princess.
Entering into the Inn, Cedric swiped his sharp eyes around the place. Torches were hanging in the wall to lighten this little cave. Most of the people were dead drunk and was muttering incoherent words. Few half nude entertainers were pleasing the rich guests who had come from a prestigious family.
His dark eyes fell on a woman who was tied against the scaffold tightly. Her eyes continued turning darker showing the wrath that she felt inside. A helpless sigh escaped through his lips when he found Jessie at her poor state. Her loyal maid was also tied down beside her. Away from her scaffold, there were three dead bodies lying down. From their ripped head, it took no time for Cedric to understand that they were murdered by Jessie.
Jessie\'s eyes finally fell on Cedric who just came in disguise. Though he was in common clothes, she only needed few seconds to identify that it was her brother. A glimmer of hope flashed across her eyes.His arrival surprised her the most. She thought that Cedric would be pleasing his newly wedded wife tonight and wouldn\'t show any interest of rescuing her like other times.
She whispered softly,
" Brother..."
Cedric walked over to Jessie\'s scaffold and looked down at the bodies with disgust. Before he could interrogate anything, Jessie mumbled lowly,
" Well, they were being rude with me and insisted on taking my maid as their whore. It was necessary."
Cedric hissed before sneering in disgust,
" Tsk..Your taste have worsened in killing."
Jessie blurted out shockingly, not knowing what did he mean exactly,
" What?"
Cedric placed his eyes back on the black blood that the dead bodies bleeded and mumbled back in a low voice,
" Look at them! They came from the lowest ranks. Their blood smell so bad that I feel like puking. When did you started killing such low standard creatures?"
Jessie was blankheaded for a few moments. Coming back to reality, she held the urge of rolling her eyes at this man. Since they were out of Dixon Palace, being respectful towards the king was mandatory. She answered shooting another despising glare to the dead bodies,
" I didn\'t think much. They were mainly targetting my innocent maid."
Cedric parted open his lips to speak but there came the loud piercing voice from the owner of this inn,
" Hey! What are you doing there? Are you speaking to the imprisoned girl?"
Cedric pulled his eyes away to the man who ran onto them in hurry. He had white stuble beards on his face and seemed like a man at his late thirties. His tongue was exceptionally very rude.
Cedric tried to play cool. Looking through his deeply narrowed eyes, he spoke in a gentle man voice,
" Why did captured such beautiful girl here, man? Slave imprisonment isn\'t legal in Basarisk anymore. Don\'t you know that?"
The owner of Inn roared pointing out at the dead bodies,
" Haven\'t you heard anything? Look at them. They just made fun with her little maid. And then, this damned girl killed each one of them and brought bad reputation in my inn. If this continues, my business will come to end."
Cedric tapped on his chin dramatically before muttering logically,
" It seems like they were in fault at the beginning. So why didn\'t you try to save her maid when she was being bullied by them? Yet, you captured her when she raided her voice against this people! How wonderful! "
The owner\'s face went through several kinds of emotions. After Cedric\'s reasonable answer, some guests started to look at him with obvious question. To hold his prestigious status in front of the guests, the owner used a powerful voice in front of Cedric,
" Who are you to judge me, man? Our king? Or what? If you here to drink, just drink and leave quickly. Regarding this girl, I will sell her in BALVINA with a handsome price tomorrow."
Jessie\'s face darkened further instantly. She shouted from her scaffold hysterically,
" What the fuck you say? You will sell me? Me? Just release my ties. Then I will show you how to play with your balls. Damned Narcissistic Bastard! "
Cedric shot his sister a warning glare. His glare clearly meant that since he was playing, don\'t muddle in midway.
The Inn owner cursed loudly in front of Cedric,
" Daughter of Bitch! You..how dare you..."
This time, Jessie felt shivered by the pressure that she sensed in the air. She subconsciously looked up at Cedric who also heard his mother being cursed like this. His whole aura exuded a bloodthirsty intent and forced everyone to back off unknowingly. Even the Inn owner felt a chill through his spine looking at the way Cedric stared at him deeply.
Cedric chuckled dangerously confusing everyone around except Jessie who knew his end was getting closer. Shifting his eyes at the Axe Throwing Board, his wicked mind came up with a nostalgic idea. People from Inn loved to practice target fixing game as they had to hunt animals occasionally. The differenciation was that they used sharp knives while practicing inside the cave rather than axes.
Cedric suggested posing a domineering posture,
" Hmm.. Since we both have different principles, I have a offer for you. You wish to sell the woman but I feel like her life shouldn\'t be wasted like this. How about we play for one round? If you get succeded, I won\'t meddle in this matter anymore. But.."
He took a pause delibaretly to emphasize rest of his words and resumed,
" If you fail, your body will become the target fixing board. "
The owner of Inn gasped in disbelief. His face turned ashen because of the anger that he felt towards Cedric.
How dare he throws challenge on him standing inside his Inn?
Watching his falling in silence, Cedric shurgged his shoulders off and turned around to face the drunk voice. Using his high pitched voice, he spoke to the crowd excitedly,
" Gentlemen, we were thinking about a competitive game. What do you suggest?"
Most of the guests were dead drunk and weren\'t in state of thinking logically. They got excited after hearing out the name of game and started to scream out excitingly,
" Fight!! Fight!!! Fight!!! "
Jessie dropped her eyes down frustratingly knowing that where it would end actually.
