"My Lord, forgive us please. Kanji escaped once more" I heard a man humbly praying for his life.
*Pshing*
I saw how a well dressed man pulled out a sword to point it into the neck of these 3 men that I just followed earlier.
"I will never be needing a useless soldiers!" So they are not just an armed men, it makes sense now, they are the Palace soldiers. Why would my brain won't work so well here. Eloily think please.
"Partially, they are not that useless armed men" I failed to whisper it. Eloily, you're not thinking! I talked loud enough for them to hear me.
"I don't have any armed men here lady, they are the palace soldiers" I gulped, I think this is the era of which 'armed men' are considered villains and 'soldiers' are the cleanest fighters.
"Why are you wearing that suit girl? Are you that Kanji who's I am dying to meet?" The well dressed man asked me.
I showed myself to him. "I don't have any clothes. Just let them go, I'm sure they're not bad armed men" I bravely answered the man.
"Rude! Try giving respect to the Emperor" I suddenly got down on my knees, someone hit my legs and made it weaker. "We are not Armed men" they clarified everything.
"Leave us alone here, I want to talk to her" he is the Emperor! I shouldn't have done that, he's my only way to escape this place. He's handsome I could say, he's differently gorgeous. Young Emperor?
"I believe that you're never familiar with this place" he said in a softest voice. "You are not Kanji" his mood suddenly changed and lowered his face to reach mine.
His long nails touched my face and aggressively held my jaw. "You are a no body, unrespectful, rude girl who came from the music box"
"How did you know?" I'm still hoping that he can help me. He grabbed my hands to make me stand and walk me through his thrown, behind it, there's a big window. A batallion are practicing fighting skills.
"The book of Orbit has a written chapter where it told us that time flies and goes by, you may arrive here. What do they call you?" He asked. I maybe a princess, I guess. Jilliam would probably die in laughing if she's with me.
"You're not a princess"
Did he read my mind? How would he know my thoughts. I noticed it already, probably everyone here are weirdos.
"Stop thinking about it and it will be good if you'll tell me where that guy is hiding, the one who have you that cloak" he said while focusing on his soldiers outside.
"So you don't have any plans on confessing? Come with me" he pulled me and walked me on the same path I walked before just to get outside the palace.
"Wait, is that you that girl who I asked for a direction earlier?" He stopped and turned to me.
"Yes, that's me. Why? Are you attracted with my beauty? Am I prettier than you?" He seriously asked. A few air escaped my mouth as I am trying not to let out a laugh.
And I failed. " HAHAHA so you are a gay emperor?" His eyes got mad. "Stop using words from your land"
An object got my attention, he has a clock drawing on his skin. "What's the purpose of those clocks? I've seen people's clocks while running away from the guards earlier"
"Nah, I wouldn't believe that we are provided such talkative priestess" he whispered, seemed like he's annoyed.
We are walking until we've reached a small way to enter an open space. "My king! Asaeia! Welcome back" a girl with her highest tone of voice suddenly showed up in front of us.
She has a long hair with a beautiful face. She's now scanning me from my foot up to my face, then gave me a sullen glance. Tsh! Shrewish.
" I can't even think of it, you made that armed men obey you" she said. May kanji be also an armed men? She gave me a sullen glance dor the second time as she suddenly twisting her head to find a smell.
She's screaming and giving us the 'disgusting' look. "What happened My love! Why did you brought an armed men with a plenty lives? Do you want us to get in half ways?"
She's not waiting for an answer. I found it frightening that she's pulling out a dagger. A gold dagger! Where would their conscience be? They are not afraid of killing. The king is here and maybe it is really a legal activity here, to kill.
I was about to run but an arrow broke the force surrounding the dagger. I felt it awesome with the king's hair got unfurled and untied. Shiningly too bright.
I am terrified as this charming king earlier changed his looks with his eyes. His posture is something very strange while holding his golden bow and arrow.
"I want your time!" The girl shouted. She's throwing daggers on me and I couldn't dodge it, it's just following my moves. But the king is also hitting any dagger near him to protect me.
Wind blows one again and everything comes to its slow motions. This red cloak that's blocking my chest flew off to reveal this bright lights coming from the engraved clock on my chest.
The girl's now shaking in eagerness. She wanted to catch me and I can't even move myself, the clock in me is making me weak.
"I wanted your time, give me that!" She's staring at my chest, I can't stop to think that she's looking at my breast, is she jealous. Flat chested girl!
"You will not touch that girl!" A familiar voice was heard in the area, the authority on the voice. The king is mad, he's firm and his palm is lighted with the character almost same with kanji's. His clock shines too, but rotating counterclockwise. His time is reverting.
"I won't be threatened by you! I want her timelessness clock!" The daggers flew to my place and the king came in front of me to break the force covering the daggers.
But he failed to, I closed my eyes and now ready to die.
A second after, no dagger harmed me. A man blocked the danger, holding a sword and wearing a red pants.
Kanji, his eyes are fierce.
"You're no one to harm her"
