Chapter 13 - Story time

"You have some nerve making requests, have you forgotten you're our hostage, how could you be so shameless, now shut up and show us the way".

Anti Astro snapped, he couldn't believe the nerve of this women, he's already on the edge, wanting nothing but to get out of here, when was the last time he was forced to interact with other people so much, it's making him uncomfortable that he wants to rip someone's heart out. 

 "Please wait, just listen to my story and hear my request, I will compensate you with a very valuable treasure, 6th tier natural treasure". 

"What?!" Enya was the one who shouted as she understood the implications of that statement, a 6th tier treasure?

You have to understand that her blade clan which has been around for a thousand years only has a single quasi-monarch tier treasure, that's another word used to call 6th tier treasures, these are powerful creations above emperor tier which is the 5th tier and king tier is 4th tier and those below the king tier are master, pupil and beginner and they are further divided into three stages, initial, middle and peak. 

This master level worrier claims she has a 6th tier natural treasure, she wouldn't believe it even if they beat her to death, she wouldn't believe her if she said she has a 5th tier treasure much less a 6th tier one. Enya quickly reached a conclusion that this lady is full of crap but she still decided to entertain her.

They are hidden now, so they have some time to listen to her story, anti Astro who didn't have much knowledge about the topic was also interested, the love he has for power is immeasurable. 

"We are listening". They both said at the same time, turning their heads to stare at each other. 

Seeing this Ayana smiled as she led them to a room, seems like a guests room, with a single bed and a couch and a mirror, she asked them to sit on the couch as she set on the bed and begin her story. 

"This is a long story but I'll make it short, back when I was in Rosefall , that's the land of the elves, I was a servant for the royal family, life wasn't the best but there was one thing that made life worth living back then, the elf king, the very first time I saw him, I knew I was in love, but I was nothing but a servant, he would never look at me but… one night, after a banquet he was drunk and I was invited to his bed chambers, I was so happy I just wanted to be one with him."

Ayana stopped for a second, reminiscing of the old days, her eyes getting teary. 

With a sniffle, she continued. 

"That night… we talked about a lot of things, he even asked my name, I was very happy that I gave my flower to him… the next morning he was gone, disappeared from my side and I was woken by another servant telling me to get back to work. I never saw the king again until I found out I was pregnant and decided to tell him. He pretended to be happy, how do I know he was pretending? Because I overheard him talking to his right hand man to dispose of me, can you imagine that, "dispose" of me as if I'm some piece of trash!" Tears we're now falling from her eyes. 

"I'm sorry I got too emotional, I've never shared this story with anyone so it still hurts, but as I was saying, after I heard that I was incredibly hurt but I wasn't gonna let him get his way, so I made a plan to escape, the plan was to cross the forbidden ancient forest and come to the land of humans and live freely with my child, but that wouldn't work as I stole something very important from their vaults, so I'm sure they are still searching for me".

Ayana got up as she looked at herself in the mirror, she still looked the same as she did back then, she was only 30 while the elf king was more than 2000 years old and it's only been 6 years since that day. 

Looking at them again she said "Now that you've heard my story, please hear my request".
