"When I was younger, my sister would always nag at me everytime I got injuries from playing so much.." Sahana started talking while focusing his attention outside of the tent. "She would always nag me like a mother..."
This is the very first time I heard about this. Not that we have known each other for a long time, but since he's the first one I knew when I got here. Not to mention the sole reason why I am here. I just don't understand the feeling of having a sibling.
He flinched when I removed the gauze from his wound. I stunned when I see his wound. This is no joke. A huge wound indeed. The pain he's feeling is no joke.
Tsk. I should have beaten that entity to death!
I secretly swallowed when the blood slowly drop to my hand. This fresh blood, makes my nose irritated. To think this wound happened because of that entity.
"She's the sweetest person I have ever had in my whole life. After our father left us. We struggle together to get us a meal even once a day..."
His voice suddenly became sad. I wanted to ask him about his sister but my tongue tied up to do so.
"Until one day... everything faded like an aftermath of the storm..."
He look at me with that sadness. My heart hurt hearing him talk about his sister. It must be a tragedy for every sibling to get separated from each other.
I tried to focus on cleaning his wound. My eyes became clouded and I know I will cry in any second now.
"T-there, it's all done." I tried to make my voice cheerful. While trying to evade his gaze.
"Thank you Milady."
I gave him a smile. "I grew up alone. I don't have any memories of having a family with me. Though I met good friends, it was still lonely for me. But I somehow manage to survive the cruelty of the world I live in."
He sighed, and I did the same thing.
"I'am so sorry about bringing you here on a whim Milady." he said. His eyes showing guilt.
"Well, since I am already here, questions are actually flooding in my head right now. I tried asking your master, but he didn't give any answer too. So I will just wait. I will wait until you can take me back to my world."
After some time, I ask him to rest again and to refrain himself from moving. The wound is still fresh, since no one is mentioning about calling a doctor, I can't do anything to his wound either.
I am not good with dealing wounds. I hate physical pain, so as much as possible I try my best not to get hurt.
Looking at my bandaged hands, I sigh. Wish everything will be fine.
"How's Sir Sahana, Milady?" Flora ask when she run to me.
"He's still unwell, I think the traveling to another place might be postponed for now."
She agreed to what I said and leave to talk to the Master.
Now that I think about it, even though Sahana actually abducted me, I still feel comfortable with him. He seems gentle in everywhere that hurt my heart looking at him wounded.
Trying to recall what happened yesterday. Some bastard hurt Sahana.
Well, that for sure annoyed me. With how kind looking Sahana, someone hurt him!
"Oh by the way." I call Baley who's busy with their stuff. "What happened to that entity who attacked the tower yesterday?"
He put those luggages for a moment and think.
"Well, Master is questioning him right now."
"You mean to say?" I got alarmed when I heard the word 'questioning'. Isn't that the same thing as torturing someone?
I suddenly let out a smirk. Baley bowed and left.
"But wait, where are they?" I stop him from running away from me.
"M-milady, they are at the back. M-master will kill me...I have to go now!" Then he run faster with those luggages.
Those are obviously heavy, what's with him running away anyway?
As what Baley told, I make my way at the direction he told me. Slowly, because I am curious of how their master deal with the 'questioning'.
An idea pop up to my head. Would it all be better if I am the one doing the questioning..?
Hehehe.. I was laughing to myself, when every magician making their run away from me. The hell with them?
Finally, the last tent. As I stand infront of the entrance, I was thinking hardly about what will I be asking to that entity, when a huge built like stand in my way.
"What are you doing here?"
"Aaah!" I almost jump from surprise when he suddenly talk. "Hey!"
"Hey..? I am asking what are you standing here for, thinking so hard that you barely notice me?"
God, He's towering my well-being. I look awfully small infront of him.
"Well, I am a bit curious about that entity who attacked the tower yesterday?" I ask in my most innocent voice.
He look at me with disbelief.
Damn this big guy!
"Curious, or are you planning to make another beating with that trash?"
I look at him with my doe eyes. I have to look as innocent as I should be. See, I am not planning anything to harm anyone.
But the wound from Sahana's shoulders came to my mind.
"So, who was it?" My voice became serious.
So this guy knows how to sigh eh?
He then guided me inside the tent. It was all darkness but I heard him snap a finger then there's light now.
I can clearly see that red cloaked guy from yesterday. The one who hurt Sahana.
I smirk as I see him on the ground. What a nice view.
"Lady, are you perhaps, a sadist?"
My eyes widened with his question. "How dare you accuse me!"
"Well, if you could have seen your face yesterday when you are beating him with the chair. You were smiling like a maniac."
"Hah?! I was obviously scared for my life yesterday! How dare you say that to me!" I retorted back him.
He didn't say anything back, but that look of dismay he's showing me, is a little different story.
"So, did you questioned him properly?"
"He won't talk at all." He said in an annoyed voice.
"How did you ask questions by the way? You should properly know how to ask questions right?" Then I squat infront of this entity and grab his hair so he could look at me.
Groaning from what I did, he barely open his eyes and look back at me. How dare this bastard hurt Sahana.
"These wounds are still from yesterday." I smirk. Wasn't the beating yesterday enough?
"Y-you bitch dare lay a hand on me." It's obvious as how his eyes move a bit, scared aren't you?
"Well, calling me a bitch is an insult. I am scared honestly, but well.." I look up to Sahana's master and ask. "Can I... will you let me question him?" He is staring intently at me.
"Feel free to do so."
"Oh, can he still use magic? Like he did yesterday?"
"I put an anti-magic spell here around." He said and step back from me.
"What do you mean?" I curiously ask since I don't understand any magic at all.
"If that trash try to use a spell to create a magic, it will only be absorbed by the air and the magic will be useless."Based on the look to his face, he is somewhat annoyed while explaining to me.
I gave him my most precious smile before turning all my attention to this entity. Just a waste that this 'trash' is quite the looker. Now that he can't use magic, as what the master said... "Can I do everything I want while questioning him?"
Hearing a soft chuckle from that master and few steps away from me. Is he giving me a permission?
Well, that would be good. Since I always wanted to torture someone ever since writing one from my novel. As I am always curious how does it feel to torture someone.
Smiling widely to this entity I gave him a chair to sit. "Sit properly, this won't take long." I said as my heart flutter from excitement.
He he he. This will be fan.
He flinched when I look at him and barely able to move. And when he finally sitted down to the chair I gave him. I stan three steps from him.
"This fragile looking lady is the worst. You won't make me talk, even if you kill me bitch!"
"Heh, that word is not good for my hearing..." Slap. Yes I slapped him hard that it made my palm numb. "Now, tell me your name."
He just gave me that death glare.
I breathe out. "For every questions that won't be an answer, a nail would be a great solution. I wonder if they could give me a plier. You have twenty nails to be exact, isn't that too many to count?"
I saw him trying to hide his fear from what I said. Well, there's no way I will waste this chance. This is the only time I could act like the greatest torturer of all time.
Smiling at him while showing the plier. "Don't worry too much. Just give me your name."
"Y-you!" He was thrashing while sitting. When I move closer to him with the act of pulling his nail he scream so loud that hurt my ear.
"For goodness sake, what is the lady doing now?!"
He laughed at the thought of the lady torturing that trash. She asked permission to do the questioning. He was even planning to witness what she'll do, but decided to stay outside of the tent.
Another loud screaming was heard and few of his magicians shiver in fear.
"M-milady. How can she make that dark magician scream like a lady?" Ask Chess who's now chewing his fingers.
"Who would have thought she can make a man scream like that!" Arcon who sit on the ground while hugging his toes.
"Milord, should we be stopping her lady right now?" Ask Flora who's obviously worried about the lady.
He didn't answer their questions, instead waited patiently for the lady to come out from the tent with some news, rather with a success from her 'questioning'.
'She is rather fun.' He thought silently.
As loud screaming can be heard inside the tent, some of his magicians are flinching and shivering from fear. Until the tent finally became silent.
"Wooh! That was refreshing."
"Milady... Are you hurt everywhere? Did he do something to you?" It was Flora who run to her when she got out from the tent.
"Do tell me everything you learned." Asking her with a doubt. There is no way that the strong magician such as dark magician would easily give up from a fragile lady's questioning.
"Oh, his name was Denver, and from what he said, he just came as a spy, not to invade, but got caught so he got no choice so he faught back, and said that it was his tower's master who wanted to check the situation from the red tower's magician, and got curious as to why the Master's ---"
"Wait! You got him to talked?!" Arcon ask surprisingly.
"It was actually hard for me to get him to answer my questions." Laughing innocently.
He smiled at her. This fragile looking lady, looks like about to be broken anytime if she gets hurts, smiling like that, so proud of how she torture the poor trash.
'What a lady..'
"In every continent in this world, there have magicians who live in differently. We are at the red tower, and that one who invaded yesterday came from the dark tower. It will take atleast a month to travel to get here, since teleportations in every other continent is forbidden."
This world have four continents as what Sahana said. And every continent, since magic exists, there has tower for every magicians. Red tower, Dark tower, there was even the purple magician and the most dangerous magicians was the magicians from the white tower.
They are the most wicked magicians who's willing to kill for power. But for now, since peace treaty is also common they aren't doing anything, like harming. And it will be very dangerous to go against them since they can use forbidden spells as well.
I tilted my head. Magic do exist in this world, so might as well get used to those words.
"What will happen to me if they found out that I am not from this world?" I ask Sahana.
It's already been two days since the 'questioning' happened. Sahana said that he can move accordingly so I let him stand. I still help him with his wound. And the master, who's name is Eiliff decided to start the journey today. This afternoon.
"Milady, as long as you stay with us, you will be safe."
That didn't answer my question, but I didn't ask him again.
There are only fifteen magician's here in this red tower. Sahana said that it's not even easy to stay in the tower, much more as to be guided by their master. He will only teach if he's in the mood. So the other magicians decided to go out, explore and teach magic.
Good for them.
Sahana even mentioned that there are few academies here that was built solely for teaching magic. Since he mentioned about noble families, it is well obvious that there are discrimination here as well.
In every world, I think, discrimination is inevitable.
"Can you really move your arm?" I ask him.
He nod and smile. How gentle looking man Sahana.
"Yes, thank you milady."
"By the way, they said we'll be using horses."
"Do you, by any chance, know how to ride horse milady..?"
