Bab 64: Fairy 55: Getting involved with National level troubles. (2/2)
"Yeah... I kinda of left her back in the inn. She probably be mad, when she realises, I am not there, when she sobers up when she wakes up… However, it seems we wasted too much time, then I thought. They are faster than I thought… Hisui, we need to leave, until I bring you somewhere safe, I will deal with them." Zack said with a serious voice, and called Hisui not by her nickname, but her real name.
"T-They have!? L-Like I thought… I shouldn't-" When hearing her chasers already beginning to meet up with them. Hisui panicked, and regret getting Zack involved in her personal matters. However, Zack who seen through her, flick her forehead slightly, waking her up from her panic state of mind.
"Didn't I already said, I didn't mind? Vis, I am not that weak, you think I am. Don't you trust me, my princess?" Zack went, and patted the soft green hair, of the little girl before him.
"I-I do… I know we just met. But if I don't trust the person, who willing to help and protect me… I will not be worthy of owning the name of Fiore." Hisui with a serious look, something unexpected form a mere 11-year-old child.
It does feel strange, seeing the girl before him, who 7 years younger than himself, acting more like an adult then himself. But needless to say, Zack just shows a grin, towards her, who smiled like a child, seeing she could trust the adult before her.
"So, my princess, shall we go?" For some reason, Zack felt like saying that. As he halted patting Hisui's hair, and instead offer her his hand. Which she smiled, and grabbed his hand, with blush creeped on her cheeks.
"I'll be delighted to, Zack." Hisui went, as she cannot help her young mind, to think this is very much like those fairy tales she loved to read. The kind, that the knight saves the princess, is one of her favourites. Which is why, when Zack acted and said it in the way, similar to those fantasy tales. She cannot stop her smile, and inwardly felt happy grabbing his hand.
But that isn't all the little 11-year-old girl felt. She also begins to feel different kind of emotion developed inside her heart. But because she too young to understand such emotions, that beginning to blossom inside her, she overlooked them.
{Hehehe… Like I thought, Master is a natural at this~!} However, as Zack begins to guide Hisui a place to hide in. He suddenly halted his steps, feeling a cold chill down his spine, when he heard that perverted laugh that creeps him out, each time he hears it.
But Zack soon regains himself and overlooked the meaning behind Nightfall's words. And quickly look for a place to hide Hisui, deep in this forest.

Shortly after when Hisui and Zack went deeper into the forest. At the foot of the forest, where they are currently at. Nine clocked man appeared from the darkness, as eight of these cloaked men stood behind the sole leader along them, the one who wearing a red demon mask.
"Hmm, was it Flight Magic? Or Air Magic, or Wind Magic…? No… maybe it something else. Tell me, how did they flee." Asked the man in the mask, as he turned to the cloaked men with the sword, and the Ice Wizard, who faced off with Zack not long ago.
"Yes sir… I don't think it is Wind Magic, nor Air Magic, since the flow of wind didn't carry them away… the young wizard male, picked up the girl, before they floated away into the air, before they begin to zoomed forward at a past pace." Went the Ice Wizard.
"Yeah boss, it like gravity was lifting them, and pushing them away at the same time… not like the Flight Magic, or Wind Magic normally make you fly." Went the sword welding wizard.
"How interesting, floated… zoomed forward… seems like gravity… gravity? What a interesting way of using Gravity Magic… I wonder what other tricks this unknown prince, that saved the princess, has?" Went the demon mask wizard, as he spans towards his men, in a unknown mood, since the mask hides his emotions.
"Tell me, any words on our client?" Asked the masked man.
"About that sir… it seems the Fiore's knights are better than expected. They already found out about the link between us, and our client. Who hired us, to kidnapped the princess. Lucky for us, we already got paid for doing the job. However, what we do about the princess? There is no point of keeping her, even if we recapture her… in the first how did the princess managed to escape? We even made sure, that the room we kept her in, has several layers of spells to keep her in." Went one of the other unknown wizards.
"About that… it was me." Honestly went the demon masked wizard, who seems like the leader, said that, as if it wasn't his fault to begin with.
"Sir…?"
"Not again…"
However, from the reactions of the eight other wizards. Some didn't seem to care, some sighed, like they are used to their boss's randomness. And the one who just spoken to the demon masked wizard, put his hand against his face, trying to overcome the creeping anger, that boils from within him.
"Don't tell me… you were bored, so you broke through the several layers of magic, which I place, by your orders… because you are bored?"
"Never mind my reasons, perhaps it was boredom, or maybe it was something else. In the first place, I am glad the knights of Fiore, got to our dear client first. Who will thought, we be hired by a nobleman, to kidnap the princess, so they could brainwash her, into marrying their son to her. It sickening, no matter how I see it.
Shame to them, the King of Fiore, might lead a small nation, but he is a wise and good ruler. With have dozens of capable men working under him. He is a man, who do anything for his precious daughter, after all.
There is no point… carrying on the mission, meaning we could withdraw at this point… however, I am curious about this lad, that kidnapped our little princess before us~ And I know the current head of the Cherry Blossom Holy Knight Squadron, who is powerful enough to overwhelm S-Class Wizards, is heading to Bosco as we speak, along with his men.
Not to mention, this will also get the Duke of Trade, Aldrich Boese, one of this kingdom's strongest Wizards, and powerhouses, get involved as well~ So many powerhouses, one from Fiore, another from Bosco… and now this unknown kid, say, should we rekidnap the princess, and get a higher pay cut?" Asked the demon masked man, as the other hooded wizards, just sighed, or grinned, knowing their leader, just want to cause trouble, as always.
"If that what you want, boss, so how much the ransom going to be?" Went the sword welding wizard, with a crazy grin on his face. Showing he might be as crazy as their boss.
"How about 100 million? Even if Fiore is small compared to the rest of the kingdoms in Ishgar. They should least have that much to spare." Went the wizard, who is sighing the most.
"I agree, that should be fine." Went the demon mask wizard.
"What about the wizard, who took her?" Asked the stoic Shadow Wizard, who been quiet all this time.
"What else? We dispose of him, isn't that we always do? But I do hope, since he managed to flee from you two, he should least be S-Class, right? It will really be boring if he wasn't… now then shall we go? I think we given them enough time, in our hide and seek game, haven't we?"
When the man in the demon mask said that. Two magic swords appeared in each of his hands, before he, and the others begin to hunt down Zack and Hisui.
If Ezra was here, she will know the magic that the demon masked wizard just used, was the very same Equip Magic like her own.
But that isn't all, if Makarov was the one that seen the man, and the other eight men. He will realise who they are. A dangerous group known as the Nine Hands. Who is wanted by the Magic Council and other kingdoms in Ishgar, as outlaws that has countless crimes in assassination, abduction, robbery, and many more.
They are known to be more powerful than a medium level Dark Guild then Black Rivers. However, the man known as Damon, the one who wear the mask of a demon, not only he is the leader of the Nine Hands. Or he has the bounty of 200 million Jewels on his head personally.
He is known to be a SS-Class criminal. And him along with his men, of mix of B-Class ~ S-Class Wizards, are now on the hunt, and their target is no other then Hisui and Zack. One alive, and the other dead.
