The Legend of the Stone Princess Livinett
Chapter 18: The Other Side

“Hoi. I didn't tell you to use your money. Just save it and we're going from here.”

“Arcansas! That's not good. We have to pay for it.”

The shop owner was confused. He seemed to be worried, angry, and afraid. Arcansas is very violent and terrible.

“Mrs. Give me 1500 dizt only. The drawback does not need you to pay,” said the store owner.

“Where is your nature as a man!” Arcansas approached the shop owner. “Do not try to blackmail a woman or I kill you now.”

“Ampun, Sir. I didn't mean to blackmail. But you should have paid for food.”

“Arcans. Don't muddy the mood.” Chirper Lian.

There really is something strange. Why does Arcansas seem to defend the woman. Though Arcansas is a cruel beast and never cares about anyone.

Since his arrival on the island of Suin. He actually helped a woman named Lian, even treating her to recovery. Then this time he defended the woman and did not want the money to be handed over to the tavern owner.

“As far as you are. Pay, as long as you are satisfied,” said Arcansas.

Finally the problem was solved, the shop owner looked happy, although the amount he got was still less than 500 dizt.

People on Suin Island use a currency called dizt. They have used the currency for a long time, since the collapse of Dum Castle.

The castle once belonged to a man who ruled in Suin. It was he who decided to separate himself from Tsandor. Because they feel that there is no connection with the continent.

The history of Suin is not the same as that of the Trovoltaic people of Tsandor. Due to feeling mismatched and frequent disputes, the castle owner made a move to separate from the Tsandor Continent.

The owner of the castle is Hogba. He and his subordinates made the people of Suin submit to him. One of Hogba's right-hand men who played a major role in the history of the founding of Suin Island was Nathus Samar.

Thanks to Nath, many of the people of Suin were able to accept the secession. They were not afraid of standing alone on their land without the need for help from the Tsandor Continent.

Apparently, the history in Suin is older than the Tsandor Continent. This was already known to Nath and Hogba. Therefore they did not want to unite with the new government of Tsandor.

Slowly the still unclear history began to unfold. Hopefully, Arcansas can find all the truths that existed in the past. The truth about his dreams as well as about his ancestors.

Arcansas seems to still have a good side, but not too revealing. Maybe he was embarrassed to show his kindness. He was only known as a cruel and oppressive person.

During the first raid on Pegalisch alone, he forbade Daz from raping women. They just ravage the city center and kill. It was still a cruel act. No one knows the mind of Arcansas. It seems like he's hard to guess.

“Thank you for paying for my food, Lyran.” Arcansas.

“Who are you calling Lyran?”

“Isn't that your name?’

“My name is Lian Erie. Not Lyran.”

Arcansas looked embarrassed and chuckled. The thing that stood out from him the most was his strange memory. Arcansas can't remember a person's name very well.

When Liobo introduced himself, Arcansas seemed confident and could remember the name easily, but in fact Arcansas could not remember the name Liobo. Precisely Arcansas called Liobo with the name ngawur namely Lonos.

First time calling the Wilson twins was like that too. Arcansas made his own name because he could not remember it. The twins' names are easy to remember. Arcansas calls the twins Sonfa.

Sonfa itself means midget aka dwarf. In the Nath language, there are several words that are often used as mockery.

Either Arcansas deliberately forgot or indeed could not remember the name well. Although the average Suin person has high intelligence, small and strange things like this often happen.

We do not know what the cause is, a name that is easy to remember becomes difficult, while other difficult things can be remembered easily. If Arcansas is weak in remembering the name he just heard, perhaps the other giants of Suin also have different weaknesses.

All is uncertain, the intelligence of the Suin people is still unclear. They are superior in many things. Manufacture of weapons, cultivate the land, make farm tools, and develop medicines. They are more capable than other races.

Arcansas continues on its way to the ruins of the castle. Lian continued to faithfully accompany Arcansas. Upon entering the forest, Arcansas took out an arrow and attached it to his bow. He shot an arrow and hit the target. A fat deer was hit by an arrow right in his stomach and then fell.

“We will rest here only. Pretty venison can warm the body for a cold night.”

Arcansas then made a campfire and arranged the leaves to be used as a bedding.

“Use this to sleep.”

“Thank you. Then what about you?”

“I will be on guard. If you want I can sleep while sitting leaning against the tree trunk.”

The bonfire swirled, Lian roasting the venison that had been slaughtered using her sword Arcansas.

The Suin people already know the lighters to light a fire. But Arcansas had made a bonfire using two wood swiped so that it sprinkled fire. Not a hard thing for a giant like him.

“Your sword looks weird. Why is the end like that?” ask Lian.

Arcansas sheathed his sword after clearing the deer blood earlier.

“Entah. It's been like this since the beginning.”

“You don't know why that is? Isn't that your sword?”

“Iya. It's my sword, but from the very first time I got it, it's been like this. Maybe deliberately made serrated ends.”

“What does that mean?”

“Where do I know. It's been quick to roast all that venison.”

Lian nodded then continued grilling the venison. Eve was cold, the forest was thick. There were several rows of Wora trees lined up. Arcansas approached the fire to warm his body.

Lian has a pretty face. Looks like she's about the same age as Princess Livinett. He is very good at handling venison. The woman seemed to be used to cooking.

“Why did you return to this ruined island?”

“There is something I want to look for in the ruins of the castle.”

“What are you looking for?”

“Entahlah. Maybe an answer.”

Lian looked puzzled by Arcansas's words. He was still focusing on the venison in his hands. Finally all the meat was roasted.

“Please take. It can be eaten.”

“It smells good. I became hungry again even though I had eaten in that narrow store.”

Arcansas instantly took part of the thigh and devoured greedily. Lian continued to look at the man before her. He seemed to think.

“You are so good, why does everyone say that you are so cruel.” Suddenly Lian said that.

Arcansas chuckles. He was amused at the question of the woman before him.

“You don't know me. That's what I am, cruel and heartless.”

“No. I see goodness in you.”

“Shut up and eat or I'll kill you here.”

Arcansas threw the meat he held into the fire. He looked angry, it was possible that he was embarrassed for being praised by Lian. How is this, is Arcansas going to leave the girl alone.
