"Let go the girl"
"Who are you? He hurt my eyes. How would you pay the damage I had?"
Damaged? That small scratch?
I throw him a bag full of healing potions.
"There must be at least 10 bottle in there. It should be enough to cure the small scratch in your face."
The merchant threw the girl towards me, I managed to capture her but we both fell to the ground and I felt someone hold me from behind.
It's Hugo, his face was calm but I could feel his heart beat faster and bloodthirsty boiling in his body was scary.
"My lady…Are you alright"
Lana was running as fast as she can, I managed to get here in a second because of the teleportation but this is fifty feet away from Mr.Jusco stall.
I felt sorry for Lana and Hugo who might be running with all their might.
"Aria…"
The skinny boy takes the young girl. He looked so scared and felt grateful but in his face there was lots of concern.
Hugo now stands in front of all of us. He takes a few steps towards the merchant. He whispered something to the merchant as the merchant's face turned blue.
'Hugo said… should I do the supposed damage to your body that is equivalent with the potion in your hands?'
Red fairy shrugged her shoulders after telling me what Hugo whispered to the merchant.
I was barely holding my anger but hearing what Hugo said to the merchant, ease my anger a bit.
The red and blue fairies were shouting beside me.
They told me hundreds of ways of making the merchant pay for his arrogance.
'Just curse him to lose his wealth'
'That's too lenient, crush his bones. You can do it Hugo'
'Snap all his finger and do it one by ones, Hugo'
'He wouldn't feel pain if he died instantly like that. Called the silver wolf from the forest and tell them to gnaw his flesh to his bones'
I shake my head as I need to calm down. It's too vicious.
"You should take it and keep your head down if you still want to come as a merchant here."
A calm but stern voice suddenly appeared, and Hugo took a few steps back after he saw whose voice it was. He then walked towards me asking if I was hurt.
I just shakes my heads. The merchant was startled while answering to Mr. Volco.
"E..errr… Mr.Volco. I understand. Sorry for this trouble..��
The merchant took a deep breath, feigned a smile and glared at me before he returned to his stall with the potion in his hand.
It seems Greg with the twins. The twins were busy playing with new toys and new books that they didn't know I was gone.
I took the basket that was full of… Salad? Cabbage?
I look at the boy.
"Sell all of this to this sister. How much is it? Do you still have lots of this? You can sell to all of it if you want."
"Errr… you can pay with food. We don't need money."
"But brother.. We need potion for Sean, he… couldn't breathe"
The girl was crying.
I took the boy's hand, I put five gold coins in his hands.
The boy looked afraid and took a glance at the forest behind the merchant market.
'There's few man waiting there'
'They aiming for the boys profit'
The fairies gasp in anger.
"That's no good my lady. Such kindness was poison to them"
I frown at Mr. Volco. He shrugged his shoulder.
I sighed.
I am not that naive, I was 25 years old even though I was in a 15 years old girl body. The reality of life was hard no matter where you are or what world you are in.
But it isn't supposed to be an excuse to let bad things keep happening without having effort to prevent it.
