" why did you come out?! " He asked, flustered.
" I was testing whether you were speaking the truth or not" she said flippantly.
" …sigh, alright. Just follow me." He said and grabbed her hand without her consent and rushed upstairs.
" Stay put, I mean it" he said to the rest of the women as he left.
" Hey, unhand me." Princess Lydia struggled but her current strength was too exhausted to shake him off.
" No, you're going to do everything I say, and I mean everything." He said with a stoic expression.
" Whatever dirty fantasies you might have you'd better throw them away. I'd rather die than let you do that kind of shameful thing to me" She said with a determined expression. Her eyes told him that she would definitely not hesitate to kill herself should he try anything of the sort.
" Lady I admit you're very beautiful but not all men lose themselves at the sight of beautiful women." He said, not really blaming her though. He was sure that she'd seen quite a lot of disturbing sights down there.
" anyway, you've really made things difficult for me" he said rubbing his forehead in worry.
" I can also run pretty well" she protested. She didn't like being a burden.
" No, you're the reason why the necromancer is here. If he sees you, he'll come after us with all his might… I got it!" Lliw suddenly had an idea.
" < summoning > " he used his ability and summoned a fully armored warrior.
" Ow, spatial magic" she was once again surprised by the youth before her. Not only did he have a high level artifact, he also knew a very rare kind of magic, spatial magic.
" Erm, take off your armor" He said to the summoned warrior.
"…"
" Com on, take it off…it's an emergency" he said. He could hear the undead army getting closer and closer.
The summoned warrior was unwilling but it's body moved on its own and it began stripping it's armor.
" eh…?" Lliw and princess Lydia were surprised when the summoned warrior took off it's helmet. Behind the thick piece of armor was a very beautiful face. When she took off her chest plate, a pair of big round mounds wrapped in white cloth, popped out.
" Damn…" He muttered, he almost had a nosebleed. The tall woman before him was damn sexy.
" what was that about not all men losing themselves at the sight of beautiful women?" Princess Lydia saw how entranced he was and was not very pleased. She felt kind of threatened by the beautiful woman before them she was as beautiful a she was!
" Ahem, I am no saint I can't help it if I falter now and then. This is why I didn't look at you, she just caught me by surprise." He said while blushing In shame.
" Hmph, why else would you ask her to remove her armor if you weren't a pervert?" Princess Lydia said sourly.
" Tsk, stop being so jealous. I didn't know she was a woman" he flicked her forehead teasingly.
"…" She clenched her teeth in annoyance. Didn't he know that she was a princess? So why would he treat her so casually? Where has all her prestige gone?
" Alright, put this on. This should make it hard for the necromancer to identify you" He said as he handed her the armor.
She understood that his point was valid but she was still reluctant. She just felt like making things difficult for him but she also understood the gravity of the situation so she reluctantly put the armor on. She first put on the breastplate and then proceeded to put on the rest of the pieces.
" damn, why?.." Lliw quickly turned away from her because she looked even sexier with the breastplate on.
" bastard!" she cursed but felt kind of good inside, at least she wasn't inferior to the other woman.
Lliw had tried talking to the summoned warrior but found that she was unable to say anything. The system just said that she hadn't met the requirements to talk yet.
When the princess finally put on the whole armor, he couldn't even recognize her.
" awesome. Can you move well?" he asked.
" Yeah, it's not that heavy" she said but her voice was very ambiguous. It didn't sound feminine at all.
" Ok. Look, I'm really sorry about this but I don't really have much of a choice" he said to the summoned warrior who was glaring at him, probably wishing she could tear him into a billion pieces. She was only clad a very tight, body hugging suit that just emphasized her tight figure. Lliw could barely look at her so he just kept his gaze low.
" Alright, let's move." He said and they left their place of hiding and revealed themselves to the army of Skeletons and zombies.
" Hey, Look at her. She's very beautiful isn't it? Don't you guys want to look like her? I'll tell you how…if you can catch me" Lliw hollered at the undead. Their simplistic minds didn't really understand what he said but he was a Living being… their prey. Best of all, he brought more of his type, isn't that perfect?
"..ooou.." They increased their speed as they ran to them.
Lliw saw them coming but he didn't run away. Although their speed wasn't anything to write home about, they did manage to shorten the gap pretty quickly and were almost upon them
" H-hey, do you have a death wish? Shouldn't we be running from them?" Princess Lydia said, a bit unnerved by the sheer number of the undead. There were more than 100 right in front of their eyes, all coming for them.
" not yet…" Lliw said with a nonchalant look on his face.
The undead got closer and princess Lydia could now smell the putrid odor of decay, it was very unpleasant.
" Alright… Now!Run!Run!Run!" Lliw said all of a sudden, breaking into a sprint.
'klank!klank!'
Despite her metallic steps, Princess Lydia wasn't any slower than himself.
" Damn, what a freakish girl" He thought. The summoned warrior was also running along with them. Lliw successfully baited the undead army and lead them all around the castle. He made sure not to lose them as he was afraid to lose their Aggro.
The castle was truly big but with Princess Lydia as his guide, he didn't have to worry about getting lost. She knew the castle like the back of her hand.
" I wonder where the necromancer is" Lliw thought as they climbed up some steps in a narrow passageway. They had done this a few times already and had already slain more than a dozen undead. More than an hour had passed since the quest had begun, in fact it was now close to 2 hours.
" Hey, where do you think the Necromancer has gone?" he asked Lydia as they attacked the undead that were forced to come in smaller groups through the narrow passageway. The area in front of them was littered with corpses and rotten body parts.
" well, you said his goal was me so he should be looking for me somewhere, but in the event that he can't locate me quickly, he will probably go ransack the royal treasury." She answered.
" …is there anything of importance there?" Lliw asked.
" well there are a few that might be of importance to him." She said after a bit of silence.
"…hey, I've got a crazy idea" he said.
" absolutely not!" she shut him down.
" Do you know how terrifying that necromancer is? Don't underestimate him just because you can kill a few undead. Let me tell you, even if there were hundreds upon hundreds of these undeads, a single spell could kill them all." She said with a grave face.
" Sigh, you should know. Once an army of a tens of thousands of the royal army, lead by a very strong warrior went on an expedition against him. As you can see, he's still here and as for the expedition, only their leader survived, barely" she narrated.
".. I see. You're right, I'm getting ahead of myself here" he said. He was indeed getting a bit confident because of how easy it was to slay the Skeletons and zombies.
" Worry not, though. Once I regain my strength, I will make him pay for all the evil he's committed" she said with intense loathing.
