DESTINY GIRL

26. Angel

The capital was in an uproar with the corpse of minister Draco hanging at the gate of the square. Almost all of his family and servants were also slaughtered. For several days it became a public conversation. People are questioning about Miss Swansen not being found among those killed. Many suspect Miss Swansen must have been kidnapped and raped.

Rey and Asgar have just arrived in the capital. They ate at home and heard the conversation.

" Miss, if I may know what purpose Miss came to the capital ? "

" I want to teach the King of Higresia a lesson. He is not worthy to be called King "

" But Miss , the King is very cruel. Didn't Miss hear them talking about Miss Swansen ? "

" Do you know him ? "

" Miss Swansen is the King's fiancee. But because Minister Draco betrayed her, it's possible that Miss Swansen was made a prostitute in a brothel "

" What does this have to do with me ? "

" The previous King had told me to look for Miss to be his Queen. If I let Miss meet with the King, I'm afraid the King won't let go Miss "

" Why are you worried about me ? "

" I now (already) know Miss is the destiny of the Eternal Sovereign. I'm lucky to be alive because Miss forgave my mistakes. How could I possibly want to "die" again ? "

" I intend to release you from King Higo. By taking me to him your duty is done and you are not considered a traitor. Don't worry about my safety, he won't be able to touch me "

" I understand, Miss "

" After this go back to your base. Free the innocent and dissolve your people. Get them out of town with their families. If necessary, give them your money. We'll meet again here in the morning.

" Good, Miss . Your orders I will do. Excuse me " .

Then Rey found the nearest inn. Rey came out again by changing her appearance. He turned himself into an old woman so as not to attract attention. He wanted to take a walk to see this city without any interference from anyone. After being satisfied Rey returned to the inn.

By night Rey intended to have dinner across the street from the inn. He saw a grandmother sitting under a tree beside the inn. Looks like his eyes are closed. Nearby was a little girl crying silently. They also approached them.

" ................... " the little boy just looked at Rey still sobbing.

Grandma opened her eyes. He said shrewdly.

" Miss....please help us. We have been starving for 2 days...... "

Rey smiled. He held the grandmother's hand to stand up. The grandmother felt a power flowing in her hands. Slowly he stood up. Rey wiped the little girl's tears. Then rubbed his cheek. The little face was clean and beautiful.

Then Rey rubbed her dirty shabby shirt. A beam of light surrounded the little girl and her clothes turned clean. The girl's mouth was flabbergasted. Rey smiled.

" What's your name, little girl ? "

" I'm sorry Miss , my granddaughter is mute.... Her name is Angel "

" Oh ....... "

Rey crouched down to be on par with the little girl.

" Open your mouth "

The little girl opened her mouth. Rey's index finger touched his tongue and let out a momentary glow. Rey softly repeated her question.

" Say, what's your name ? "

" A........An....gel.. (breathe) An..gel...... "

Rey stood up. Suddenly Angel hugged him. His head looked at Rey.

" he..rima..... "

Grandma was crying. She did not think her granddaughter could talk anymore. He knelt down to say thank you. Rey shook her head while pulling her up. Then Rey took Angel's hand to the restaurant. Grandma Angel followed him.
