What's your name

I came back hours later and sure enough she was there, shackled to make sure she wouldn't run. Her mouth was gagged and her eyes were red, she probably wasn't happy but her happiness didn't matter right now. I finally had her, I'd make her happy later. "Want an escort?" Asked the man who'd handed her.

"Yes of course, can't have her getting stolen". I just had to keep her safe for a day but even still, I wouldn't let there be a risk. The man returned with a small carriage pushed by a single horse.

"Get on" he said. I did so and we were on our merry way.

We arrived at the Inn and I finally took off the gag but kept her shackled. "You little fucker!" She yelled immediately.

"Hey be grateful, I just saved you from that shithouse" I said back.

"I'd rather be in a shithouse than belong to you!". I decided to silence her here and now before she began to get louder.

"You got no choice now" I said showing her my gun.

"Use whatever that is, I dare you". I nodded and turned my back to her, loading it up with a small piece of paper then turned again.

"You sure?". She stayed quiet but looked at me with a brave face. I fired it and while it had the same explosive effect as before, nothing came but still it was enough to send a message. "All it takes is one shot". She finally yielded. I went to sleep early that day, hoping the next day came fast so I could leave this place.

The next day came as I wished it too and we went to over to the carriage. Never had I been so happy to spend the next few hours of my life in one area. Now it was only a matter of a day or two until I became king. I'd marry both this showgirl and the other drunk. I realised I'd forgot to ask her name. I'd ask her later, asking her here while Adae was in the same carriage would make me look like a kidnapper. She was no longer shackled and not dressed obscenely anymore. Now she was a newer purer person but I still didn't trust her. I stayed awake throughout the journey as to make sure she wouldn't try to strangle me in my sleep, or jump out of the carriage. Somewhere in the journey Adae fell asleep and I finally had the chance to ask, "What's your name?"
