บท 42: Royal Guardian

‘Malduk, I see you have found yourself a new host. And a working tamer at that.’

‘Viex, you are free. Long time no see. I have heard word of your liberation but I wasn’t able to welcome you personally.’

There was a laugh. ‘Doesn’t matter. What are you doing with this half baked tamer anyway? I understand that her powers are working but those people from the tribe would be far more useful than this one right here.’

‘You do not understand, Viex. She’s a royal blood.’

‘A royal-’ There was a pause and I can hear a twig breaking and leaves shifting on the ground.

‘What? Do you reminisce about the old times, Viex?’ The voice laughed.

‘Malduk, release that girl immediately.’ There was a low snarl as if it was warning the other party. ‘If you mess with a royal then you mess with me.’
