Almekia Kingdom
48. Prisons - Prisoner (2)

What's the matter? Why did I get a bad feeling from her smile just now? Can he recognize our last name? Did he know that we came from a noble family of the palace?

'Damn 'em! I hope this is just my unwarranted concern.'

Platina and I knew enough not to ask the girl's last name. In this cruel free zone, it is not strange that one does not have a family. And then I realized later that this was our biggest mistake. We should be asking this girl's name right now, to know who she really is.

Ruby, a name that suits her very well. The red gem is tough and sturdy and amazes anyone who looks at it. Fits her red hair and tomboyish appearance.

The next thing that happened was completely beyond my expectations, Ruby and Platina were talking here and there in an uncertain direction. Even the two seemed to think of me as just a display that did not need to be polished. They looked very familiar even though they had only met for the first time. It was like there was a hidden bond between them.

“Ruby, why did you attack us?” platina asked me finally interested in following their conversation.

“Why? it's only natural, right? We are a herd of robbers. So we will attack anyone who passes to get hunted. it’s just a job, men” replied lightly, as if it had no sin.

“If you only intend to rob, why attack blindly using a full weapon so?” I expressed my disbelief in the answer. Too suspicious.

“Do you intend to block us to Bloody hell?” a little bit of a button for Ruby to want to give a little hint of our current location.

“That's because you guys are too eager to fight, of course we don't want to lose to assholes like you.” Ruby snorted and turned her eyes to me. Then the girl showed me her cynical smile.

“You're a fucking idiot! Prevent you from going to Bloody Hell? Bah, where do you think this is? It's Bloodyhell, fool!” the answer is very rude.

I'm really gawking now. I felt so stupid to hear his answer. So all this time we've been in Bloody Hell? Our destination city?

“Then for what? Don't tell me just for your prank or personal pleasure!” I've run out of sense with this weird girl.

“Really! It's because of my personal business. I've been watching you guys since the beginning. Since you entered the free zone from the direction of the West Line. I thought you guys coming from the direction of the West line was his man, someone who had defeated and conquered me.” replied ruby. I can see suddenly the girl's face flushed red, either angry or embarrassed.

“Ruby?...Don't-don't he?..” Platina asked as if she could understand. And Ruby nodded in spirit as the answer.

The actions of these two girls made me frown, the more confused I looked at her.

“Since long ago, if again for me always go to the West line or South line to make trouble with my friends.” Ruby started the story, making me a little annoyed to hear it.

So he's the mess-man who often troubles me? I'm upset to learn he's the one in the mess on the South line, my base.

“But for some reason every time I mess up on the West line he always comes to me. He can always snatch me up easily. But then let me go just like that after advising me of all sorts."

"Times it happened until I finally committed a crime just to meet him. But I ended up being completely outrageous, so I hurt him pretty badly the last time he messed up. He was still not angry, with a smile he said that my mischief that time had crossed the line. And he no longer wants to take care of all my worries.” Ruby paused for a moment and her face turned sad.

"Without me realizing there was our stray shot of the West Line and it killed him instantly. After that incident, he didn't want to see me again even though I rioted many times on the West line..."

"After I couldn't see her again, I realized I liked her, I wanted to see her... I'm kangen! Want to meet!” Ruby told me so excitedly.

A little surprised to hear Ruby's love story is quite strange. I didn't think the girl could fall in love, either. And again I don't think it's going to be easy to snatch this tough girl, but that guy can do it many times? It's great!!

“You must have missed him so much..” Platina was concerned to hear the story of Ruby.

'You should've advised him not to do anything wrong, Tina. Don't even comment on her love story.'

I don't know why I can't accept his ridiculous excuse to make a mess. Just to attract a man? And have to trouble all the West Line and South Line troops at once? Just be right!

Ruby nodded sadly in response, “I last saw her a few days before Christmas. Absolutely worst Christmas of my life.”

He's the one who handles almost every problem on the West Line by himself. After Christmas, he never showed up on the West Line. Of course because of his circumstances...

“Ruby, don't you mean the top leader of West Line?” manyaku.

“True once! He is the colonel of Diamond Lionheart” replied Ruby with a timid face.

Dieeeengs! It turns out that's true what I'm afraid of.

Diamond again? How many women in your life? You big-class Playboy!

Suddenly I felt my throat dry and dry. So Ruby is that inocent-faced girl?...

I can't figure out why so many girls are crazy about a little guy like Diamond without even a mention. He's an interesting, macho and cool guy. But isn't Zircon much more handsome? It really confuses the way women think and the way they choose men.

“Do you know him? I think people with a high enough rank seem to be often to the palace.” asked Ruby cheerfully to us. But a second later his tone changed to firmly full of threats.

“You as the sons and daughters of a high minister of Almecia kingdom must often deal with courtiers, right?” continues asking.

The deg!! How did he know that we were the sons of the royal minister of Almekia? Has he investigated us? Or worse, maybe he's been investigating about the palace and its officials?

But it seems Ruby doesn't even know that Diamond is the prime minister's son. Indeed, he did not use the last name Kunzite Uncle, Baltazhar but use the name Agata's aunt, Lionheart.

How'this? I am getting confused about this girl. Is Ruby our friend or our opponent? Why is he helping us?

And one more thing that bothered my mind was the reason he took a few strands of Platina's hair... The more the creeps I think about what he might do.

“Nona Ruby, big master wants to talk to you,” a burly man approaches us.

“I already know, stupid! I'll be there soon,” replied Ruby moved away.

”While you remain my captive, I will not do anything bad to you if you do not mess around, let alone intend to escape!” he continued to threaten us.

“I like you guys, good chat friends and of course lucrative money. So don't force me to kill you..” He made his fingers move around the neck as if he was beheading it. Then he smiled and left our room.

“A...what does it mean?” Platina asked in horror at Ruby's change in attitude.

“Why is Ruby so?”

“Ruby, actually he's the pilot of the red gear that snuggles us up. The leader of the robber group that attacked us.” I explained who exactly Ruby was who had just spoken to her.

“I think it is the real figure of Ruby the leader of desert robbers, sadistic and cunning...At least we're not locked up in a dark room anymore. For a while we should just do his orders for our safety”

“I..I'm afraid. What if he finds out that Diamond already has Amethys?” platina's body trembled slightly in fear. Maybe he regretted also familiarity with the perpetrators of our attack.

“Tenlush Tina. I'll always take care of you" I tried to calm my girl down.

If it's Diamond, I can't do anything either. I was afraid to imagine what Ruby would do, that reckless girl. He would not hesitate to torture or even kill to get his wish. Hopefully there won't be any bad events involving Diamond and Amethys.
