In Palamuru city under an isolated room,
A man sat on a seat, around him people were standing.
"Prince, we team Rightousness ask you to provide an explanation "
A man with moustache shouted.
" Ronald, know your place"
Jordan who was beside the Prince appeared immediately in front of Ronald as he put an axe on Ronald's shoulder whose blade was touching his neck.
it was fast too fast, Ronald could not even move an inch before he got placed in unfavourable situation.
" Ronald, don't you feel ashamed to put all the blame on to the Prince, aren't you the one assigned to guard your own things ? "
" The Protectors died, was there a need for them to sacrifice their lives to protect your things ? no, if they wanted they could have refused to fight and lived on but they did not "
" Instead of being grateful, you are barking back, is not it too much, Mr. Ronald from team Righteousness ? "
Jordon was angry as he spouted the words out, Jordon respected the Prince more than anyone else, he could even endure when someone slams his wife but he could not stay calm if the Prince did not get the respect he deserves.
" Ronald stop blabbering nonsense" Chu Chen who was also from team Righteousness spoke up.
" Our first priority is to find the thief and retrieve the skill stone instead of playing the blaming game "
Chu Chen pointed out what they need to do, actually it was not necessary given the situation but it was common human nature to blame each other when something goes wrong instead of taking up the responsibilty.
" Seal the entire city , not even a single ant should be able to go out, let this Prince see who is that brave guy "
Prince issued the command as soon as he opened his mouth.
At the same time at a certain part of the city a woman was walking while carrying a wounded guy on her back.
Henry who was being carried had sudden enlightenment all of a sudden and shouted
"stop"
Hearing him say to say stop, March Butterfly puzzled, she could not think why she had to stop.
"let me go back "
the next sentence of Henry increased her confusion even more.
" Are you idiot ? we have barely escaped and you want to go back there "
March Butterfly did not heed him and continued to move.
" I said stop"
Henry yelled out.
" Believe me I have got a reason to go back there, please"
" please "
"please "
Henry pleaded.
Responding to him, March Butterfly halted and turned around.
" I don't know what reason it is, but if you want to go back there then I will be carrying you, you won't be going alone"
March Butterfly turned around as soon as she said this.
Henry was helpless as his wounds were severe, he could only forcefully accept her help and being carried around.
The duo moved towards the Prince's palace.
In another corner of the city , a maiden was searching the streets for someone while gripping the hand of a boy around 8 years.
" Where did he go ? hey boy! tell me where did he go ? he chased after you and here you are, but where actually did he go ?"
the maiden is none other than Rita and the boy is our Ivar,
After Ivar was denied the entry at the entrance of the palace, he decided to take short cut route the head quarters of team Sahara.
But his luck was so good that he met the psyco Rita, the sister of the Prince, on his way back.
she dragged him back to the Palace, she found the door open and Old Tai being dead, then she travelled inside along Ivar, on route there were many dead bodies but she did not care.
she tagged Ivar along with her and searched the whole palace for Henry even including the private room of the Prince and bath inrooms .
Finding him nowhere, she decided to search the city, this is how Ivar was pulled in to search.
while Rita was carrying the search outside,
Henry and March Butterfly reached the palace again.
The palance entrance was surrounded by the atmosphere of the funeral, the dead bodies were aligned in a row.
people were grieving around them.
" look look, isn't that Zomuto ?"
a bystander said.
" oh my! yes he is, he died that serves him right "
the woman beside the bystander replied as her face showed happiness.
she did not realise that her tone was loud enough to be heard by the people who were around Zomuto.
Everyone glared her, at the same time the people nearby her put some distance between them.
This reaction surprized the woman, she realised her mistake.
she felt ominous glare coming from a guy with moustache sitting near the camp of Team Righteousness.
" What a gall you got to celebrate death of my comrade"
Ronald yelled at her as his hands bulged, his eyes turned red.
He stood up and moved towards her.
For each step he took forward, the woman took a step backward.
" Don't move "
Ronald yelled at her again as he increased his speed and appeared in front of her, giving her no time to respond.
"Slap"
He slapped her.
"Bitch! How dare you ? " Ronald yelled again.
" Slap"
another slap was printed on the other cheek.
but this was not enough to calm Ronald, he punched her face.
"Àaaaa"
her cry revebrated in the surroundings.
her ply is far from over as Ronald continued to punch her face again and again.
one
two
three
four
.
.
.
he puncher her face until she bled from the nose then he kicked her in the abdomen first followed by another one on the face as she fell back.
"aaaaaaa....."
her cries were every where.
"How cruel "
the bystanders could not watch it anymore as they covered their eyes.
Ronald grabbed her by hair, lifting her up he looked directly in her eyes as he berated " Bitch! you should have known your place".
" Forgive me, please "
" I was wrong "
" please"
the woman cried.
" hahaha finally you came on the track but you should not go off track again, let me teach a very big lesson so you won't go on off track "
Ronald said as he laughed finding pleasure in torturing her.
Henry could not withstand the sight anymore, he jerked and slipped down from March Butterfly's back.
" wait what are you doing ?"
March Butterfly felt it him falling down.
"you should not move, you have not recovered yet "
March Butterfly worried over the actions of Henry.
Henry was in pain but he did not let it stop him as he stood and shouted " That's enough "
" Oh Mistress seems like your hero arrived"
Ronald said then he shifted his gaze at Henry.
"Haahhaaa"
"Hahaaa"
" Miss don't keep your hopes up because the one who arrived is the infamous Expert "
" Oh..It's Expert, I am afraid... save me! save me!"
Ronald laughed and teased Henry but the next moment he stopped laughing.
" Kiddo, if you want to play hero, come next time atleast in good shape, look at yourself you are all beaten up by some random kids"
all of a sudden a woman appeared in front of Henry.
" don't you dare to touch my brother?"
"Big Sis "
Henry cried out.
"Leave him to me"
Big sis Kavya said as she geared up her battle mode.
"I may be a evil bastard, but I don't play with the injured specially the spineless men who always hide behind the women "
Henry's injuries quite heavy and visible, seeing him injured, Ronald said as he lost his interest in playing with him.
" fuck... you disturbed my pleasurable movement "
" Remember kiddo, Battle Masters are not something whom you can play with"
Ronald released her after saying it.
" Chu Chen! let's go "
Ronald and his team left the place along the bodies of their comrades.
"Henry! What happened why are you injured ?"
Big sis Kavya enquired.
"It's nothing, some things happened and I was ambushed by a group of thieves"
Henry made up a story on spot.
"Big brother, are you ok ?"
Henry got confused after hearing some one calling him big brother, he tried to remember all those people who calls him big brother.
Ivar, Buntoo, Zen and Redlap but problem is none of them are female as the voice belongs to female.
A girl peeked at Henry from behind the Kavya's leg.
Henry did not recognise her.
" Big brother, big brother just now you were awesome"
" All these guys were just watching but only you came forward to help her "
" I love you big brother "
Coming forward the little girl expressed herself.
Henry puffed himself and asked
" Am I really that awesome ?".
" Yes , Big brother"
The little girl replied.
Henry: " Who is the best brother ?"
Little girl: " Ofcourse you brother"
Henry: " Who is most handsome brother ?"
Little girl: " Big brother, it's you, you are the most handsome "
"Henry! where is the urgent work for which you dragged me here "
March Butterfly after treating the wounds of the woman came back, seeing Henry fooling around she shouted.
" Hurry, carry me"
Henry walked towards March Butterfly.
" Why should I ? go and play with kids "
March Butterfly teased.
" The Prince is going to close the gates if there is any visitor please come in within a minute"
A protector declared.
" Hurry!"
March Butterfly knew this is serious, she did not waste time and bent a little allowing Henry to climb on her back.
" Big sis, I still got meet Prince, I will explain everything later"
Henry said as the duo were moving into the opened gate.
other guards also moved in then the gate was closed.
