Chapter 45 : The Silent City

She may be ordering him but even her ability to give command had a sweetness to it which only jammy could see.

No matter how much she discriminate against him or hate him or called him bastard. But no one could deny he was the only person she share secrets with and trust with even her eyes close.

Coachmen she said, it was okay with him. As long as she stays with him and have his support, he was willing to do anything for her.

The m

Aranya get into the carriage while jammy became the next coachmen and start riding the carriage. It was stuffy inside as all their stuff were loaded in a single carriage and no space to breath.

Seeing the condition inside, she was actually force to come out. She slammed her hand on the carriage wall after five minutes.

Once jammy heard the slamming voice, he halted the carriage on the spot and before he could stand up or go behind to see what was the problem, Aranya appeared before his eyes.

" What was that just now? ", Asked jammy and looking at her body if there's nothing wrong with her.

Even she herself look at her own body as he keep staring at her. " No, don't give me that weird stared. Actually, it's too stuffy inside and I wasn't feeling good. So what I am saying is...Let's share the coachmen's seat...", She directly come to the point whole her eyes staring the seat.

Jammy saw her sneaking glances towards the seat, he block her sight as she really seem to speak the truth.

" You what? you were teasing me earlier by saying you want me to be your coachmen. And now you want to sit beside me? you really change your mind faster than how a chameleon changes its colours...", He smirk and scoff off.

Hearing that, she glared at him hard and take out the knife outside of her was it belt emigetly...and the next second that knife was hanging around his neck.

" If you called me chameleon one more time, I am gonna show you how many I actually have. Scoot over...".

He emigetly Scoot over and give her the space to sit down, she sure was Scarry.

The knife was still around him neck but he different this time was...he touch the knife blade and slide it away slowly, saying..." I know you like the game of knife and blood. But my life and neck...both are precious. So please don't joke all the time, I make my heart drop the beats ".

He just force a smile on his face and she finally get that knife away from him and place back to its original place.

It was hard to imagine but she was giggling now. His expressions and reactions never disappoint her and always amused him on different way.

She laugh out loud and stick her but on he seat..." Bastard, I should say this, you are a scaredy cat by why do you have that weird fetish in you? ", She said teasingly.

There was no other meaning to her words but she was just amused as to why jammy was this scaredy cat but still maintained that weird fetish of his of collecting weird body parts.

" Don't asked me anymore after you showed me that sharp knife, I will get even with you later on, just you see...", He started riding back after warning her.

" Ok ok, I will wait for that day ".

Aranya never said this, but no that they were reaching close to their final destination, her heart was skipping many beats and like...it's gonna jump out of the chest.

About the beast country, she only read in the books or novels. But to see it with her own eyes, that day never came. Looks like her long lost wish was going to come true soon and she was quite excited to see how that country was.

No doubt she hated the beast men and shapeshifter...but the country did nothing wrong to her and she thought the same.

She was confusing jammy and making him think something different than what she had in her mind.

Thsi time, the purpose to enter the wolf's den was entirely different yet familiar to her revenge plan.

This time, she was going to target the royal family.

She needed to at least cut that bastard's head and bring it back to her family's shrine.

No way she was going to let go of anything or not hold any grudge against those people who order her families destruction.

They were going from the path which was in the desert and fill with dangerous lurking in the dark.

They both were alert all the time and looking out to their surrounded.

It was the city where you can't decide your attention and be alert all the time. Aranya didn't take her sword out before because she didn't wanted her sword to be smeared by anything dirty.

But on a place and area like this, there was no choice but to get prepared.

" Are you sure you can handle the situation alone? ", He asked as she saw her all prepared and alert.

" I can handle the pressure. I have read in the book before, this is the silent city...where dangers are always lurking behind the door and in the dark. But I am sure not everything written in the book is right ", Said Aranya while looking at around.

They have come to the silent city, a city known for ghost soldier of Romania Wanture...

It was the place where thousands of soldiers were buried deep inside the soil after the great and big war.

" That year, Romania Wanture win over five countries with a great impression but also lost many soldiers in that war. As a tribute to them, this city was created to bury then and they name it The Silent City. This story is very fun to hear...right? ", Jammy told her the whole story about this place where they were venturing.

" Rather than a story, it's more like you are trying to scared me...".

They were still riding but then...the day started setting down. They didn't realised it before, but the sun was nowhere to be seen on the bright sky...

Along with a scary story, this place was known for its sorcery or something magical where the days rise early and the night come late...even when the sun dissappear.

They were still keeping their pace as they didn't wanted to stop in that city anyhow.

It's a place full of ghosts and souls roaming around in the surrounding. And to know that it was already the night time....there heart was making them feel sad and bad at the same time.

" How come the surrounding change to emigetly? this city sure is ominous and brings badluck ", Jammy exclaimed without even seeing a single thing.

" As long as I don't see a single thing by my own eyes, I will not believe anything ", She said to him while her red eyes shone on him.

He just...couldn't win against her in any way.

" Should we get out of the carriage? and rest here? ", Jammy's heart was saying something he shouldn't and never to believe.

This was the silent city and he wanted to stop here for the rest? what a ridiculous stuff he say...

" You sure are out of your mind. Just shut up and stay put...do you wanna die? ", Aranya couldn't help but feel the urge to beat him hard.

How can he think of staying in this creepy place? that was unexpected coming from him.

" But didn't you said you are not afraid? then why are you taking things seriously here? ".

Aranya sure want to beat him now. He was talking nonsense...looks like this city did something to him.

" I am scared and I don't believe on this things...both sentences have different meaning, do you get that? ", She said gritting her teeth hardly and wanting to yell at him.

He smirk and giggle hearing her say she was afraid.

" Stop giggling already. I really want to throw you into the soldier city now....wanna stay here alone? ".

He shake his head vigorously hearing that.

" No, your company is enough for me already, no need for extra companionship ", He answered.

The carriage was still going and not stop for anyone.

They did not stop for anything. The desire to drive even in the night was long for them.

The temperature and atmosphere around this area was different compare to other places.

There were many reasons why the days and nights seem different here.

" Aru, the temperature is dropping, it's turning cold around here...".

Aranya was pissed off now. Not because he was constantly talking and chattering to her but because he keep calling her Aru which was very disturbing and annoying to her.

" Bastard, stop calling me Aru...I am telling you seriously, if you keep calling me by that precious name of mine, I am really gonna throw you here in this silent city...".
