Bab 33: A Hero Saving Beauty
"Loeri, protect Frey, we are going in." Alicia quickly placed Frey on top of her head which in turn, Frey quickly climbed under Loeri. This was something that they had practiced many times in case they were ever in a dangerous situation.
Once Frey was secure Alicia charged out without a word. Her movements were silent as she used wind magic to enhance her speed. The bandit who was in the middle of pulling off the young girl's clothes suddenly felt a pain in the side of his head as he fell to the ground. Blood oozed out of the stab wound that appeared on his right temple.
The young girl on the ground stared in shock trying to figure out what had just happened. Even the man who was holding the youngest girl stood in such shock that he had forgotten to keep a tight hold on the girl in his hands and she struggled free and ran over to her sister. Before the man could react he felt something warm drip down his neck. He raised his hands to his neck and felt the warm liquid flowing out of it. He looked at his hand only then did he realize he was bleeding. He soon felt faint as he also fell to the ground without uttering a word.
Alicia appeared out of thin air in front of the two girls who were crying and smiled at them: "Quickly get back into the carriage I will clean things up here. Everything will be alright now"
The little girls voice startled them. She looked no more than nine or ten years old. Her golden blonde hair fluttered in the wind. Her blue eyes were as warm as a summer breeze. Such a small lovely little girl yet she had killed two bandits like it was nothing. But before they could say anything they little girl disappeared from their site. Taking the little girl's advice the younger sister quickly helped her older sister up as they both got back into the carriage and closed the door.
Alicia saw that they were now safe so she went to help the guards who were still doing their best to hold on. There were only three guards left and they were already covered in multiple sword wounds. Only three of the twenty five bandits had died. Seeing this Alicia charged forward with her sword drawn. This amount of bandits was nothing to Alicia after fighting thousands of prisoners at a time with just Loeri and her.
Alicia danced through the group of bandits as she cut throats, stabbed some in the heart, while others outright lost their heads. One of the bandits yelled out: "What the fuck!?" The bandits that were remaining saw their comrades dying one after the other almost mysteriously. To them, Alicia was practically invisible due to how fast she was. But seeing their comrades still continuing to die caused the remaining six bandits to get frightened making them turn tail and run away.
Alicia saw them run away causing her to let out a "Humph!" before quickly catching up to them. One after the other they died as Alicia reaped their lives. When she was done she flicked the blood off her sword and sheathed it. She walked over to the three remaining guards and asked: "How are you doing?"
An older man around forty years of age looked at Alicia with gratitude in his eyes said: "Young Lady thank you so much! We only have some flesh wounds they should heal in no ti... " The older man's words paused as he saw that he and his two comrades were enveloped in a green light. The wounds on their body slowly disappeared and they no longer felt any pain. The older man was completely in shock as he looked at the little girl in front of him. He bowed his head and gratefully shouted: "Young Lady, really thank you! My name is Rick Walford. I do not know how to thank you enough for your help just now. If not for you my Young misses..." Rick Walford choked on his words.
"My name is Alicia and Rick I just did what was right. As someone who is aspiring to be a Knight, if I did not uphold the knight's virtues and ignored your plight I would stain the reputation of all knights in the kingdom. Now if you will excuse me, I will go look at your young misses." Alicia replied with a bright smile on her face. It would have been a bit better if she did not have a patch of blood smeared on it.
The three guards followed behind Alicia as she made her way to the carriage. Alicia reached for the door to the carriage but paused her hand as she turned around and said: "Turn around for a moment please." Hearing this the Rick understood it would not be good to look into the carriage so he and the other two guards quickly turned around.
It was only then that Alicia opened the door to the carriage and walked inside, closing the door behind her. The two girls inside were still huddled in the corner shivering in fear. The fifteen year old girl had her clothes half ripped off and there were a few knife wounds on her fair skin. Alicia was shocked because the girl was very beautiful. She had long platinum hair and delicate features. It was only now that the term 'A Hero Saving Beauty' popped into her head.
Alicia then thought: 'The girl won't fall for me now right?' But she quickly shook that thought out of her head since she remembered that she was not even ten years of age yet. On top of being female, there was no way that would happen.
The two girls looked up at the little girl who was smiling at them stunned but at the same time they both breathed out a long breath as if they had been holding it for ages. Alicia smiled and said: "I am glad I made it in time. My name is Alicia. Let me take a look at your wounds and also do you have another set of clothes with you?"
"Ah! Yes! Umm... My name is Rose Harper and this here is my sister Dena… Thank you for saving us! I will get some new clothes out right away." Rose said. She seemed to be a bit flustered. Alicia looked at Dena who had yet to speak. Dena looked at Alicia and suddenly burst out crying. Completely startling Alicia!
