Liona gripped my hand as we walked back towards the villagers i passed. her face buried into my side, clearly trying her best to hide from these people.
"I killed probably all of the bandits in the area." I nonchalantly called out to the group.
a woman dressed in a lavish gown rushed up to me.
"How can we ever repay you m'lord?" her voice was like a sweet honey.
i looked down at her, anger flashed in my eyes. i grinned a sickly grin.
"You'll allow this girl to accompany me, never to bother her ever more is that understood?" I asked through my grinning teeth.
The woman's look swapped from grateful to horror as her eyes darted back and forth between the two of us. her mouth contorted into an ugly smirk.
"If you want that filthy feline be my guest." she growled.
The moment her words left her lips my hand slammed into her face, sending her to the dirt.
"I will never tolerate such ungratefulness. you will apologize." I growled a fireball glowing in my hand.
the woman lay in the dirt holding her face. Tears welled in the corners of her eyes. her face red from embarrassment.
"M'lord I apologize I meant no affront!" she cried out staggering to her feet.
"What man hits a woman?" a noble growled from behind the crowd.
he stepped forward with his fists balled.
"The one who just killed three hundred or so bandits without wasting a drop of mana. the one who now stands before you with an abused Beast person. if I'm not mistaken she was abused by you and your troupe yes?" I growled twirling my fingers around the fireball.
The man looked pale and turned to the woman.
"Sorry my dear but he does have a valid point.... and a large fireball." he chuckled nervously.
"Veronica please liberate these fools of anything of value. they have increased the cost of my services. they do not deserve any luxuries. strip them bare." I said turning from the group.
a loud series of sighs as the sound of clothes hitting the dirt. i turned back around to see a pile of clothing and embarrased nobles. desperately trying to hide themselves. i turned to the woman i slapped.
"Beautiful on the outside does not mean beautiful on the inside. its the heart and soul that matter most, not what glitters on your chest." i laughed as Veronica gathered up the items.
"Just remember racism or specism isn't ok. Beast people are struggling like the rest of us. i stand with those who are weak or cant fight back. the moment you turned on here i turned on you." i chuckled.
These people where used to others bending to their will, once someone that showed up that could apply the same force to them you could feel the uneasiness. They shuffled about hiding their nudity, shamed beyond anything they had ever faced.
"You will pay for this." a man pipped up.
"Pretty big balls of you to say for someone literally lacking in that department unich." i replied.
the other nobles stifled giggles as the man turned a dark purple. His rage ebbing off of him. in a moment i was in front of him my face in his.
"You should be careful on whom you propose consquences upon, that man might do greater harm then you can imagine." i whispered to the man.
His deep purple drained to a ghastly white.
"i.i.i im sorry m'lord please forgive me." he stammered.
"What is your name nobleman?" i asked.
"Dervious The third. Why do you ask m'lord?" the man asked.
"Cause me any more trouble ill wipe your very bloodline from this world all the while you watch." i replied tugging on Liona's hand.
We set out once again. One more added to our merry troupe.
