After talking with the Chief regarding with the relocation, I returned back to my office. On my way, everything went blur like everything on the road like the wagon passing by or even the merchants selling their products exist like nothing. Maybe because I felt anxious and worried about our plan. If it will not work, what will happen to this people? I stopped as I watched the kids on the opposite side playing with their friends. Laughing and smiling, these kids didn't really know what danger are heading to us. Anyways, I already promised to myself that I will do everything to save these people.
Reaching the office, I pushed the door opened. Everyone was already inside waiting for me. "Glad you are here Cap. We just received the news from our spies that Queen Lorraine will arrive tomorrow morning!" Greta anxiously reported as I step inside.
My heartbeat stop, then beat very fast as it wants to barge out from my chest. What I afraid to happen-happened on my front right now and I can't do anything to stop it. "How's our preparation?" I asked hurriedly.
"Almost half of the villagers are ready to go, but others are hesitant." Drake who was responsible for the preparation for the relocation answered. Droplets of cold sweat keep dripping from his face like waterfalls. This is the first I saw him like this. He was supposedly calm and whatever situation he was, he can handle it very well. But now? I felt his nervousness. The atmosphere inside office was depressing.
I need to do something, I thought as I squeeze my brain to think of another ways.
"Make everyone prepared, we will leave this evening." I said" And send a message to the royal palace that they might be too late."
"But sir? what if they don't want to leave, what will we are going to do?" Drake complained while looking at me.
"Force them, if we need to used brute-force, do not hesitate. We will not leave a single soul here. We all know what will happen to this place when we leave right?"
Everyone nodded, sooner or later though, this place will become a death valley. War will evoke and there is no one who can stop it. Not me and not even the king itself.
-Red-
I'm still felt dizzy when I opened my eyes. I rubbed it with my hand. And when everything was cleared, I look around. It was a room lit up by a candle standing at the center of the table.
I settled my self- trying to remember what just happened. First, I woke up in the middle of nowhere. Second, someone hit me in the head.
"Mhhm" I looked up straight at the ceiling. Who are those people by the way? They seems very odd. They wore leather armour and wielding a bow. Are they some kind of a tribe? If they are, where am I? Tagoloan or Illegan City? But all of these place are already been explored. It would be very impossible to hide from the world especially right now that internet was all over the globe.
"Northern Slope?" I mumbled. I haven't remembered a place with this name.-"You awoken?" My train of thought suddenly stopped by a voice.
I looked where it was coming, it was a woman dressed on black leather armour like those people at the wall. A sword was hanged on her hip and bow in the hand. I can't see clearly her face, but I'm sure she was pretty, at least.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Arria" She said Arria walked towards to the window, putting her bow on the side and returned back to table at the center of the room. She pulled the chair and sit on it comfortably. "Who are you?" She asked- looking at me intently.
"Red" For some reason, I felt comfortable with her. Maybe she resembles someone of my past. "Nice to met you by the Aria." I added awkwardly.
She nodded though. "Where are you from?
"El Salvador City" I answered honestly.
"El Salvador?" She mumbled as she was scratching her chin."I haven't heard such a place." I was confused.
"You haven't heard of it? But why? It was a big City though, others called it the City of Savior because of the the Divine Mercy Shrine"
"Nahh! Maybe it was to far." She paused "Why are you here? Does the Queen sent you?"
I didn't answer her immediately. Not because I didn't want to but because I don't know the answer yet.
Auto pilot of my EV is also not the right answer. Auto pilot need the input of driver to work, but based on what I remembered before I went home. I am sure, I did all in the right way. I should be at home but for some reason, I end up here. In order to change the route, someone inside the car to change the route.
"I don't know" She was confused.
"You don't know?"
I nodded "Last night, I was totally wasted myself. But still I could drive myself home, but for some reason I end up here." I explained.
