Chapter 28: Chapter 28
Chapter 28
Leonna's POV
On the way home, the carriage ride was awkward mostly because my dad was staring at Riri murderously and Riri just kept on smiling which irritated dad even more.
Dad said that it will take at least an hour and a half for us to reach the Musgravite Kingdom's gate. Then we will use a portal to transport us back to Ruby kingdom in just a matter of second.
I wanted to ask why Riri is coming with us but I think it would be rude to ask about it when Riri is here.
Me and my father are sitting at the left side of the carriage while Sebastian, Winston and Riri are all sitting at the other side.
"You look so cute brat." Riri stated which made all of us flinch, I don't know if he's trying to provoke my dad or he's just plain stupid.
In a blink of an eye my dad grab his sword from his side and pointed it at Riri's neck. "Never call my daughter a brat, unless you want to continue your execution."
Ohhh, I felt that chill down my spine and I hope Riri did too.
Its better to just ignore Riri, it would benefit me and him by not talking, so the whole carriage ride I just focused my attention outside and I almost completely forgot that were in a different kingdom.
I was in complete awe when I saw the main capital street of the Musgravite kingdom.
Its so different…..
The culture, the street foods, the people everything is different from the Ruby kingdom. Its like I'm in a completely different world.
"Its so pretty…" I mumble unconsciously to myself, not knowing that my dad and everyone that's inside the carriage heard me.
"Leonna, Would you like to take a stroll first before we go home?" Dad said.
"Can we?!" I said in excitement.
Dad chuckled and smiled as he softly patted my head, "As long as I'am here there is nothing I won't do for you."
Instantly I blushed in embarrassment, "T-thank you." I said shyly. Dad has always been open about his love for me, he always show me how important I'm to him and how much he would protect me.
It always warms my heart whenever he says those sweet things. But this time I don't know why but I was….anxious for no reason.
"Stop the carriage." Dad said ordering the coachman to stop and he did.
"Yes your highness." The coachman replied, then moments later he stopped the carriage at the side of the street.
"Your grace would you like us to accompany you?" Winston asked.
"No. You two stay here and guard that pyscho." Dad answered, Winston and Sebastian nodded in response.
"Wait! I want to go too!" Riri shouted but my dad paid no attention to him instead he opened the carriage door and gently guided me out.
I turned around to see Riri's face and he looked pissed, so I decided to tease him. I struck my tongue at him to annoy him.
Riri flinch in irritation, "You brat!" He shouted, he was about to launch himself at me when Sebastian and Vincent grab him by the arm.
I chuckled at the sight of him getting angry.
"Little cub, let's go." Dad said, he held his hand to me and I gladly and excitedly accepted it.
"Where do you want to go first?" Dad asked, I took a look around the area and immediately a small stall of unrecognizable food caught my attention.
"There! I want to try that one dad!" I said with a smile on my face pointing at the stall I just saw.
"Ok, let's go."
When we arrive at the stall the owner looked at us with shock in his face. "we would like to try one of those please!" I said to the owner while pointing at the pink fluffy food hanging on his stall.
"ah-y-yes! I'll p-prepare it right away!" he said in a panic.
While he was preparing our food, I took a look around and only then that it hit me why the owner was looking at us with such shock expression.
Everyone around us was looking at us, some even gossiping about our unique hair and eyes color. Immediately I felt uncomfortable.
"Ignore them, Leonna. They're not worth your attention."
I looked at my dad, he has this stern and emotionless expression. He patted my head and said "You are a Viosta a family who has been standing tall and proud for hundreds and hundreds of generation, a family blessed by the god of war. There is nothing to be ashamed about."
With that being said my spirit just rose up, dad's right. There is nothing to be ashamed about, I didn't do anything wrong.
I smiled at dad and hug his thigh, "Thank you." I said. I could feel my face heating up in embarrassment.
"S-sir, here's your order." The store owner said. My eyes beam in happiness when I saw the pink fluffy thing of a food on a stick!!
Dad grab the food from the owner and gave it to me, "hey mister what's its called?" I
asked.
"It's called Cloud candy my lady." He said, I nodded in response. Well it does look like a cloud.
I took a bite of this so called cloud candy and immediately when it touches my lips it melted away!!!
"It melts in my mouth!!" I said in complete shock at this cloud candy in my hand. I one more bite of it and it feels like heaven in my mouth. "Its also super sweet~".
"I'm glad you like it young miss, please feel free to come back anytime." The owner said I just nodded in response.
I pinch a piece of cloud candy and gave it to my dad who was watching me. "Dad, try it. It's delicious!"
Dad chuckled as he took the cloud candy from my hand. "It is. It's very delicious."
That made me happy, seeing dad enjoying the cloud candy made me very happy. "We would like to order a dozen more."
"A dozen?!" Both the owner and I yelled in shock. "Dad don't you think its to many?"
"Nonsense, if you like it then we'll buy it." Dad responded, the owner of the shop was so happy that he immediately started preparing a dozen more cloud candy.
"Where would you like to go next?" Dad asked. I took a look around my surrounding only to see a handfull of people staring at us.
I did my best to just ignore them, I grab dad's hand and pulled him to another stall nearby.
"Good evening my lady! Would you like to try our Throw with a prize game?" I looked at the man who owned the stall, he's fat and ugly. He's fugly. And he has this disgusting aura around him I can't explain it but I can feel it. That's all I could say.
"Throw with a prize?" I asked in curiousity.
What a stupid name.
He smiled condescendingly at us, which irked every bone in my body.
"You throw, you win a prize. Simple isn't it?" The man said, I looked at the prizes hanged on his stall and immediately took a liking to a certain bracelet.
There were many different prizes to choose from, it varied from high stake jewelries to high ranking medicine and even power stone. But out of all this treasure only one captured my attention.
A white crystal bracelet. It caught my attention because I thought that I was the only one who knew how to create that kind of crystal.
The bracelet itself is dirty and full of scratches. If it wasn't for the fact that its made out of crystal just like mine, I wouldn't take a second look at it.
"Do you want something, little cub?" Dad asked, and I nodded. I pointed the crystal bracelet at the corner of his shop.
"That one. I would like to win that prize dad." I said.
Dad looked at the bracelet I was pointing, he looked at me weirdly.
"That? You like that dirty bracelet?" Dad asked, I nodded with a smile.
"Good choice lass! Truly good choice!" The owner said and grab the bracelet.
"This bracelet is said to be belong to a dragon, legend has it that who ever wear this bracelet would see the vision of its original owner--"
"Its a fake crystal." I said, cutting the fat owner off. I heard dad's chuckled behind me.
I looked at the owner with disgust.
He flinched in terror and immediately started panicking.
"Ah my apologies! This old man is not good at determining good crystal--"
"Relax, I still want it." I said firmly.
I didn't lie when I said it was a fake crystal well....half of it is fake.
There are some crystal in that bracelet that's pure. That's why I still want it.
"Yes! Ahm lets start the game shall we? He-he." The owner saod wearily.
I rolled my eyes up the air in disbelief.
"Yeah." I answered.
"I'll be the one playing."
Both the owner and I looked at my dad who was grinning from ear to ear.
Suddenly chills pass through the back of my neck, and looks like I wasn't the only one who felt dad's ominous presence. The owner and everyone who was watching suddenly stiffen at their feet.
"Y-yes your grace. I'll explain the rules to you. The rules are you only can only have three daggers to throw at the target. You just have to hit the target once, it does not matter whether you hit the bulls eye or not hitting the target is enough for you to win."
Something seems to be wrong, its seems....
Too easy.
"Fine. Give me the daggers." Dad said.
"But sir, you have to pay first before you play."
"What?" Dad looked at the owner menacingly.
The owner flinched in terror. "S-sir this is how the game works. It is also how this old man makes money."
Dad sigh in disbelief. "How much?"
"Two gold coins sir!" The owner replied almost immediately.
Dad paid the two gold coins and the owner gave dad the three daggers.
I have a bad feeling about this.....something is just isn't right.
The owner smiled slyly before turning his back at us.
"You can throw the dagger at the count of three." The owner said.
"One"
"Two"
"Three!"
The moment the owner said three the targets started moving horizontally!
"That's cheating!!" I yelled, the target was moving so fast back and fort that you could hardly see it!
I knew there was something fishy about this game!
"What? Miss, I have fairly and justly explained to you the rules. What part of my explanation did I cheat?"
I clenched my fist in anger at this dirty old fart.
I was about to yell at him when a fast gush of wind flew by the side of my cheeks.
I looked at the target and all targets were hit by the daggers. It didn't just hit anywhere but the daggers hit the bulls eye.
I looked at dad dumbfounded.
"Give my daughter that bracelet." Dad said with a smirk on his face.
"That's impossible!!" The owner shouted in disbelief and shock.
I couldn't blame him, I was shock as well.
"You dare to question my ability?" Dad asked menacingly, the owner flinch and immediately change his attitude.
"No! N-no. Please have mercy." With trembling voice the owner beg my dad for forgiveness, he then quickly gave me the bracelet as prize.
When I got my hands on the bracelet it felt...weird.
"Thank you dad!" I said happily while putting the bracelet to my hand.
Dad smiled at me, "Anything you want."
Hmmm....maybe I should cease this moment to ask dad that I want to participate to the hunting competition.
Maybe not...
"Where do you want to go next?"
"There!" I said while pointing at another store.
We went to many different stores until my feet gave up on me.
"Daaaaaaaaad. My feet hurt." I whine, as I slump to the pavement floor.
I heard a light chuckle coming from dad before he held both of my hand and lifted me up the air.
"Wah!" I yelp in surprised.
He then put me in his shoulder. "There. Better?"
I can feel my cheeks heating up, I nodded in response.
"Now. Where to next?" Dad asked with a smile.
I heard a lot of rumors about my Father, he never smile to anyone, he never talk to people the way he talk to me, he never value anything...
But when he's with me, I can't imagine dad being that kind of a person.
