KINGDOM

King Russel walked beside Agnes trying to talk to her, but was getting one word answer or no reply at all. It was clear that she was not interested in talking to him at all. He sighed not knowing how to get her to talk, he stretched his neck; finally, he has healed completely. He looked at Agnes as he asked a straight forward question.
“Why did you save me?”
Lucas, Jane and Arthur looked at Agnes wanting to know the answer. They know that she is type of girl who won’t interfere at all unless there is an objective or she loves that person. They also know that she will do anything for them but she will not even look if an unknown person is dying because she does not care at all.
Agnes looked at Russel as she bounced her Jack-In-The-Box toy and answered truthfully because she just simply does not care if the truth hurts or not.
“Because you looked rich and we needed a place to stay for a while”
Jane coughed up hysterically, this is too much bluntness; but now she understands why she did tell them to go with Russel. And now that she knows that he is a King, she does not think that he will be so low to kill his benefactress even if her reason of saving him was selfish.
Lucas and Arthur were having hard time controlling their laughter, they just love Agnes’ bluntness. She just throws a person from heaven to down to Earth telling them bitter truth without considering feelings. They have first hand experienced her bluntness when she simply told them truthfully how she thinks about them and that still hurts their pride whenever they think about that.
King Russel raised his eyebrows in question, it took a while for him to register what she just said. And when he got it, he just could not stop laughing; he like this girl she is truthful and does not care if he is a King or not. He does not know where these kids came from but they are quite young and carefree in this brutal world.
Agnes just kept moving forward not caring about their responses to her answer; her aim was clear and for that she needs time. She looked at King Russel who was now smiling down at her with a fond expression; she raised her eyebrows in question but King Russel just patted her head with took her with surprise; it reminded her of her Father who died; no who was killed before she could even comprehend his love for her.
They all came out of their respective thoughts as they heard several horses, whoever is coming they are coming in large number. Agnes narrowed her eyes as she gripped her Jack-In-The-Box tightly ready to kill whoever comes first.
“Relax it is my knights they must have finally gotten to know that I’m in danger”
Jane gave a sarcastic chuckle as she spoke up.
“they came to know pretty fast huh”
Lucas nodded while Arthur laughed openly adding on to Jane’s comment.
“Maybe you should train your knights harder”
Agnes closed her eyes as she spoke up.
“Or maybe you should try finding out that why your knights didn't know that their King is going out.”
King Russel eyes widened, he nodded at Agnes’ comment, what she said is true something is not right with his Knights behavior.
