Normal POV
Yuu and Lucian take a sneak peak at one of the windows at the beer house to see what's going on.
Zack raised both of his hands, he surrendered.
"Put your hands behind your head" Ezekiel ordered.
He put his hands behind his head.
The other knights immediately kick the back of his knees making him fall down to the ground.
Yuu wants to go inside and protect Zack but Lucian stop her.
"Don't! If they saw you, you'll be arrested too" he whispers.
Yuu only cleanches her fist as she tried to stop herself from bursting into the bar and make a commotion.
Ezekiel smirks, looking down to Zack that now on the ground.
The knight pull out a handcuffs and put it in Zack's hand.
"Even if you arrest me, there's no point..." Zack mumbles as the knight shout at him to stand up.
The knights dragged Zack out of the beer house.
The other people cleanches their fist and watch their light got taken away by Aetheral.
Ezekiel walk behind him, he looks around to see people looking at him with killing contemp.
He only smirks, realizing that they can't touch him.
Yuu and Lucian watch the scene unfold, they can't do anything either.
"Yuu..." Lucian called out for her but she didn't respond.
Why would the Warden let this thing happened?
Yuu stands up and immediately run away from Lucian.
"H-hey!" Lucian follows her.
She's out of her mind now, jumping to roof after roof.
Avoiding the knights, they finally reached Warden's headquarters.
Lucian have to stop following her.
He stop chasing after her when he saw where she was going to.
He hid in the sidelines as he wait for her to come out.
"Where's the Warden!?" Yuu asked one of the Warden's men while grabbing by its collar.
"What do you want from him?" Cynthia asked.
"Zack got arrested by the knights!" She said angrily as she throw away the guard.
"What do you mean? Knights doesn't have any permit to arrest anyone here" Melrick appears.
"Well, they took him!" Yuu shouted.
"You—" when Melrick's about to replied at her, he got cut off by Cynthia.
"Enough!" She gets between them.
"I'll ask father about this..."
"Where is he?" Yuu asked darkly.
"He probably somewhere, fixing your mess" Melrick said sarcastically.
Yuu replied "My mess—"
"Yes, your mess...you know the stones you took!" Melrick hiss against her.
"I said enough!" Cynthia push them a side.
"I'll ask the Warden about it, so stay put..."
"So are you gonna expect us to stay here while the Barrel got raided by knights!?" Melrick snarled.
Cynthia only ignore him and disappear to the distance.
"I'm getting out of here..." Yuu hissed as she try to run away too but Melrick immediately caught her wrist.
"No, you're not... You're the reason why this is happening in the first place..." He barked.
"So you're the one supposed to be stay put.." he points at her.
"You're going make more troubles...." He harshly speak as he push her to the ground.
"Stay... Don't do anything stupid...got that?" He poke his bat to her head and fully push her aside.
Yuu's eyes darken, they were right.
It's all her fault this is happening...she just want a perfect gift for the Warden.
As she was left alone in the ground, staring at the void.
Ignoring all the panicking men around her, she felt cold.
Suddenly someone grabbed her hand.
"Hey! Let's go! The knights are here!" Lucian's words snap her back to reality.
She tried to utter some word but Lucian grab her away and hide in the shadows.
Lucian grunts as he hide her behind him and put his mask on her so the knights won't recognize her.
"Where's the Warden?" One of the knights said.
The Warden's guard only pull out their guns and point it at them.
"So you gonna do this a hard way" the female officer said and Lucian immediately recognized her voice.
...
Lucian take Yuu out of the place.
She's still in daze, thinking about Melrick's words.
He only sighs, she's out of her mind right now, shocked on what just happened.
He carry her in his back and put a black cloth in order not to be noticed by knights.
They finally arrived at Lucian's tree house.
"Lucian?!" Sarah called out as she run towards them.
He still carrying Yuu behind him.
Sarah stopped on her tracks when she realized that Lucian is with somebody else.
The rest of the bandits pull their weapons out.
"Who is she?" Sarah asked.
Lucian gaze at them, his eyes almost giving up on holding his tears.
"She's..." He's about to answer Sarah when he felt Yuu's grip on him tightens.
Everyone flinch when she moves an inch.
Levi immediately recognized her hair.
The clothe that covering her drip down on the ground.
Lucian gently settle her down.
Yuu stands up slowly as Levi look at her.
He definitely recognized her, but he can't point out where he saw her.
Emerald clashes with onyx.
Sarah look at her suspiciously.
"Do you know her?" Sarah asked Levi this time.
Silence is what he replied to her.
Yuu walk past through them.
The other still holding their weapons against her.
Lucian walk behind her as he tried to make everyone calm down.
"I think we should put the weapons down" he nervously chuckles.
Yuu didn't bother to look back to see them, she only go straight to the tree house.
Lucian immediately keep up with her.
"Hmmm..." Levi thinks for a minute, still wondering about her.
"I'll ask you again, do you know her?" Sarah stomp her foot, she doesn't want people not answering to her when she asked something.
"I feel like, I've known her but not..." Levi replied and look away. Sarah raised her eyebrows, knowing he was hiding something from her.
Lucian call out to her but she didn't answered.
He grab her wrist to make her stop walking away.
She flinched.
Immediately, the memory of Melrick grabbing her wrist flashes into her mind.
"No!" She screamed and pull her wrist away.
Everyone below the tree house heard her scream.
"You okay there Lucian?!" Sarah called out and she was about to climb the tree.
"Y-yes..." Lucian were startled by Yuu's sudden scream.
"That's it, I'm going up there!" Sarah shout as she starts to climb the stairs.
"What's going on here?" She stop on her tracks when she saw Yuu curled up in the ball in the corner.
"What the heck are you doing, Lucian?!" She smack his head.
"I-I'm just trying to calm her down..." defend Lucian.
Levi came upstairs to see what's going, and saw the scene infront of him.
Embarrassed by her actions, Sarah immediately stop hitting Lucian and slowly approach Yuu.
"Hey...you okay?" She gently ask, Yuu look up and saw her.
But, she starts trembling again when she saw her sniper behind her, making Yuu remembers Cynthia.
"You're making her more scared.." Levi said and he too approach her.
"You're in the Wanted poster aren't you?" He directly asked.
"H-hey!" Lucian called out to him but he ignores it.
"I'm the one who knocked you out that time" he bluntly said.
Lucian sighs in frustration thinking Levi is just making the situation worst.
"M-momo..." Yuu muttered against her breathe.
It's her doll, she accidentally left it behind.
Lucian eye's darken, of course she needs her doll.
"Don't worry, I'll get her for you" Lucian whispers as he caress her hair.
"W-wait!" Before Sarah asked another question, Lucian immediately jump down and get on his way.
Yuu's is not in her right mind right now.
She's probably blaming herself on what's happening in the Barrel Zone right now.
Lucian is getting scared too.
...
Back at Warden's headquarters.
Warden's carriage stop when the horseman saw that the gate were destroyed.
He comes out of the carriage, looking around.
His men that in panicked were now on the ground.
"What happened here?" The Warden asked.
"We just take a look of your place" The knights step forward, and a female voice answered.
"Ruby..."he said under his breathe.
"It's Captain now... Long time no see, garbage boy" the female officer greeted back.
"I should have known it was you..." Warden walk closer to her as the other knights pull their guns and point at him.
"Sorry" she shrugged.
"It's just an order from the higher ups...you know you messed up..." She grins making the Warden groan in frustration.
He knows this is gonna happen soon enough.
He should have tied Yuu somewhere so she won't cause any ruckus.
It was fault on his side, but still, he didn't want to give her to them.
"I heard from the higher ups said that someone in your 'family' stole the five gemstones from the carriage of a southern merchant..." She circles him.
"What gemstones?" He continued to play dumb.
"Don't be ignorant! You know what I'm saying..." She tossed him a wanted poster of Yuu.
"Who's this?" He still playing dumb.
Ruby only gritted her teeth in anger.
"You know who it is! You know everyone here..." She hissed.
"Look... I'm too busy to know everyone here, you can continue your search, but I'm warning you..." he crumpled the wanted poster and push it to her making her step back a little.
"You mistreat my people once again, I won't hesitate to destroy the contract between me and your people..." He snarled as he push her away and continue to walk towards his headquarters.
His men follows him behind, and the knights still pointing their weapons at them.
She cleanch her hand in the wanted poster and rip it apart.
"Bullshit..." She muttered against her breathe.
