Hellbents
Chapter 120: Rash
Chammomile tea did not help Ava to calm down.
Did Ellijah really want to make peace with him? If so, why does every action of the man just trigger Ava high blood pressure?
Ah, whatever.
As he walked out of the inn after the break, the mage party that welcomed the arrival of the princess and Duke Frost again lined up to escort him to the harbor. Ordinary, looking for face. The connection with the two powerful figures would certainly be beneficial for them.
To get to Crimsonwood, Ava must sail by ship. Contrary to her days as Rina the hunter from a remote village, Eve's identity allows Ava to 'ask for help' important figures. So he did not have to wait for the scheduled departure of the public passenger ship, Ava was able to 'injured' a ship whose captain should not be angry even though Ava delayed their departure at will.
The harbor that morning was bustling, it seemed like there was another ship whose schedule coincided with Ava's private ship.
His right and left sides were noisy, but what bothered him the most was the chattering of the mages who promoted themselves shamelessly. Their journey should be secret, but the noisy group of 10 people certainly invited a lot of attention from the people around. Although Ava commemorates the mages who follow her, her remarks have no effect because their presence has already been striking.
Ava looked cynically at the greedy faces that were beginning to look like-s
"Oh, Brother Rina!" The familiar chirping sound shocked Ava. The girl automatically turned her head, her eyes immediately following the agile movements of the little girl who had a tail and yellow ears with black bottles.
Lorahs.
It only took a few seconds for the boy to get in front of Ava, Lorah tugging at the end of his tunic. "Sister Rina, Sis-"
Plaque!
A loud slap sounded. The little girl fell on the ground with the red right cheek.
"How dare a dirty animal like you-"
Ava raised Lorah, carrying a tiny body that trembled as it held back tears.
Where it is, society is equally rotten. Fantasy is not the same as Utopia. Discrimination against races that are not part of the majority will remain isolated.
"Tu-sir Princess-I mean-" The mounted Mage was of course confused. He thought he could stand out in the princess's eyes if he did something. The picture of the haughty and cold Princess Eve could not escape from her prejudice. So when he saw a sassy beastman touch the princess' body, he acted first from the other mages.
Beastmen were a humanoid race that were seen as savage as well as wild, just like animals, so they were sometimes viewed as inferior to slaves. By getting rid of the dirty creature, the mage thought it would get praise, better still recognition.
Unfortunately, Princess Eve's reaction was not as she had expected.
They both seem to know each other. Was the girl a relative of one of the famous and respected rare beastmen? Whatever it was, he had already made the princess furious.
Realizing his mistake, his face turned deathly pale.
"Punish me, Princess!"
Ava was still stroking Lorah's back which was as hard as she tried hard. "It's not me you should ask for forgiveness."
Lorah and her brother had gotten used to the ill-treatment from humans, so at first she felt strange with the attitude of Kak Rina and Kak River who used to see her ears and tail.
So when a human who was different from other evil humans actively defended him, Lorah almost let out a tear, wanting to slightly rest on the new pillar that helped him when leaning back.
He wants to behave like a normal kid.
