Capítulo 27: 16 golds or a duel
<<A few hours before the arrival of the Beast people.>>
Sato sat down on the ground with some weapons that he looted from the vampire's wagons.
He stared at them for a while with his hand on his jaw, "Hmmm… maybe if I alter them to be lighter?" He thought out loud.
<<I believe that would be a wise decision, although it has its repercussions, the lighter you make the weapon the easier it is for an enemy to knock it off.>>
Sato fell to the ground with a loud groan, "I'll do this later, right now, I'm not feeling motivated at all." He uttered.
"Lord Sato."
Deka called out as he approached Sato, "My lord, you summoned me." He said with a stop.
"Oh right!"
Sato jumped up from the ground and landed on his feet before turning to Deke, "I need you to do a little something for me, it's a solo mission by the way." He explained.
"Solo?"
"Yes, Solo," Sato continued, "See when I first arrived here, the Valkyries took me as their prisoner, they thought I was a devil and wanted to annihilate me, worst 3 days of my life".
"Lord Sato, are you positive they were Valkyries? Because if I got the story right, they are servants of the God Odin, what would one be looking for in the demon empire?".
"Beats me." Sato replied, "Anyway, they stayed in a village south of here, I say village although it's a very wide place." He uttered.
"Are you hoping to pay them a visit, lord Sato?" Deka asked.
"No…. You're paying them a visit,".
.....
'Lord Sato was right, valkyries are living outside the forest of witches, we never even noticed them.' Deka said to himself.
Clearing her throat, Benihime brought Deka out of his thoughts, "You are yet to deliver the message." She voiced out.
"My apologies," Deka uttered, he reached out the roll of paper he was holding and waited for one of the valkyries to take it from his hand and give it to Benihime.
Still sitting on her throne, Hina reached out for the paper and began reading it, after a few minutes she let out a laugh.
Everyone's eyes were on her, especially Deka who had expected something like that to happen.
"For a once prisoner, he sure does know how to have high expectations for the people that locked him up." Benihime uttered with a laugh.
Deka tried to hide the sudden anger that was building up inside, "Is something the matter?" He asked.
"He expects me, you take in 150 beast men, does he think this is some kind of hostel?" Benihime asked sarcastically.
"I'm sure the message covers the predicament the Beast men found themselves in. My lord is only doing this out of the kindness in his heart, Of course, he isn't asking you to do it for free.," Deka asserted and stretched out a bag of money.
"16 gold coins," Deka voiced out.
The whole room gasped at the huge money Deka was holding so casually, even Isla who was standing beside Benihime was shocked.
'Where the hell did Sato get this much money from?!' Isla yelled in her mind but the calm look on Benihime's face brought her back to her senses.
"I'm supposed to take this as a bribe?" Benihime frowned a bit at the sight.
'Okay, since money is out of the way, I have to use another means.' Deka thought to himself, "Perhaps, is the money too small?" He asked.
"You can tell you're leader, I don't plan to do business with-"
"How about a duel then…" Deka chimed in.
Benihime's eyes immediately lit up a bit, "Oh? You wish to battle?" She asked with a smirk.
"I believe your pride won't let you take money from a low-class species like myself but how about a duel, if I win, you accept my Lord's request." Deka expressed.
And indeed he did look like a low-class species since he had rags on rather than actual clothes.
Benihime looked at him for a while, "And what if I win… what could you possibly offer me?" She asked.
"Nothing much, I'll just leave the same money you rejected right here and leave unless you want something more?" Deka responded with no hesitation in his eyes.
Benihime let out another laugh, "Okay fine then, Hina… if you don't mind." She called out.
Hine stood up from where she was seated and walked toward Benihime with her sword around her waist.
"Lady Hime," Hina called out with her left hand placed on her left chest.
"Take him up on his offer will you." Benihime said with a smile.
.....
Hina and Deka stood in the middle of the Arena while the remaining valkyries all sat down around to watch the match.
Hina drew out her sword, "Do you not have a weapon to wield, I can help with that." She voiced out.
"There will be no need for that," Deka replied, a dark mist formed in his hand and his scythe appeared, leaving a small force of wind to spread.
"Very well then… Prepare yourself." Hina said before taking a fight stance with her sword raised to the level of her face.
'As long as I have Lord Sato's blessings, taking her down should be a easy.' Deka thought to himself before taking a stance too.
...
<Back at the forest of witches.>
Elena and Divanchi sat down on the trees to keep watch of intruders. They've been doing that ever since the Beast People's departure.
"Have you seen anything yet?" Divanchi asked.
"No, Milady, nothing." Elena responded.
With a sigh Divanchi stood up, "We should head back, we don't want to miss the whole departure because of this-"
"Hold on my lady, I sense something…" Elena said before jumping down from the tree branch and Divanchi jumped right after.
"One…no two!".
Divanchi smiled, "Vampires, it's about time." She whooshed into one of the bushes and came out with her hand around a vampire's neck.
He was wearing a dark cloak that covered his face but his red eyes could still be seen glowing.
