DESTINY GIRL

79. Jezko And Cleo

Before lunch Kendrick came to pick up Alice. Kendrick handed over 10 stone gravels he had already chained up.

" Give this to 10 people who are selected later. This is a disposable teleportation stone. Use only when pressed. Simply by grasping and mentioning somewhere, they will move out of the palace " explains Kendrick. Asgar thanked me.

After lunch, Rey came to bring a snack to the meeting room (hall ). He let anyone take it. They'll discuss the attack plan. Asgar made sure everyone was present in the room.

Rey chose 10 strong men to enter the palace. Asgar handed the teleportation stone to the chosen ones and explained its usefulness.

Rey spoke with Asgar.

" We will go in first to put explosives in difficult places. Me and Asgar were protecting. At about the count of 25, Zacko's group threw explosive arrows. That would trigger an arson attack on the explosives we put. Then at the count of 10 Greg groups do burning roofs and laced explosives. If anything happens. Keep running the plan while overcoming the problem, do not be rash or panic. Remember.... ! Our opponents are demons and witches. Try to stay calm when facing them. Use a silver weapon or torch against it "

" Are there any questions or objections ? " ask Asgar.

The room was quiet, everything seemed calm. Asgar nodded at Rey.

" Well, if there are no complaints please listen to the briefing of the attack on the leader of each group" Rey said.

Soon they formed their own groups and talked about the attack. Rey returned to the inn while stopping by to order bread for tomorrow morning. He also stopped by the gun shop to tell him to be on standby tomorrow.

Tonight feels a bit tense for people who already know what will happen tomorrow. Rey sits cross-legged gathering energy on her ring and necklace. He himself was a bit worried about fearing they were injured or became victims. There's a sense of guilt for involving them in tomorrow's plan.

Rumbling and screaming sounds were heard from outside. Rey sighs. Why are there still fools outside at night. They should have known the capital was full of demons and black magicians. Or maybe it is a newcomer who is late looking for lodging ? i-i don't know....

Rey got up to the window, trying to peek through the gap at the bottom of the window. It was seen that many black magicians were locking up a man.

" Please don't kill my wife. She's pregnant. Let me just, take me "that man apparently covered a woman who was kneeling.

" Not my husband, don't leave me "a crying woman's voice.

Rey cut her lips. Closed his eyes. There was doubt in him. But he has to help her. They were taken once to ascertain their position. Then.....

" Zap....! " (Rey appears directly sticking her hands on the bodies of the two men)

" Eh......! "

" Zap....! " (they disappeared)

" .......! "

All the witches were shocked. Both of their victims disappeared. Instantly the witches roared furiously. Residents and innkeepers trembled in fear, each hiding behind a blanket.

" Woaaah......! "

Asgar and Zacko were shocked. They were chatting in the study room when Rey appeared suddenly carrying a pregnant man and woman.

Rey held onto his chest, he sighed with relief. Looking at the two people he brought, they looked confused. There was a loud roar in the distance. The pregnant woman immediately embraced her husband in fear. He started crying.

Rey touches his shoulder "Don't cry, they'll know where we are. Be calm.... "

The woman nodded and closed her mouth. Her husband also patted her on the back. Rey beckoned shut up to everyone before sitting next to Asgar. They silently listened to the roar and roar from outside. Zacko swallowed his saliva silently.

After 40 counts, the atmosphere was already quiet.

" Asgar... Is there any bread for them ? " ask Rey

" There, Miss. Let me pick it up "Zacko quickly go. Before long Zacko came with 4 loaves of bread and drinks. He put it in front of the two men.

" Eat it. If you have told us why you are out at night" Rey said gently.

The man gave his wife bread. He himself ate while telling stories.

" My name is Jezko and my wife is Cleo. We actually wanted to see his sick parents. But because my wife was pregnant, so we couldn't ride too fast. When we got into the city, all the inns were closed, so we didn't know where to go. We tried knocking on anyone's house but no one opened the door " Jezko explained.

" Of course. They are afraid you are a demon in disguise" Asgar said.

" Yes.... We hid next to the restaurant. I covered Cleo with a leather tarp. But they found us and dragged me down the street. Cleo came after me. Then came this lady to help. Thank you, miss " continued Jezko.

Rey smiled with a nod.

" You'll stay here until the day after tomorrow. Do not come out for any reason. The witch, however, will not just let go of her victims. If you need anything, tell Zacko or Asgar "

" I will prepare one room for you" said Zacko preparing to rise.

" No sir, not now. Cleo must still be scared. Let us sleep with you here tonight "Jezko is holding Zacko.

" Alright, I'll stay here tonight too" Rey said.

Asgar and Zacko immediately picked up some bedding and blankets. They slept together in that room with calm hearts.

When the sun was full, there were sounds all around. Rey opened her eyes, remembering what happened last night. If Kendrick had not immediately reprimanded him by telepathy, he would have forgotten to remove his aura after helping them. Fortunately, the witches were unable to track him down.

Rey saw Cleo still asleep, she got up slowly and rolled up her bed. Suddenly a pair of hands took over his bed and put it in the corner of the room. Asgar was awake too. Of course, Asgar's ears are sensitive to the movements around him. He was a knight who was used to being vigilant. They slowly walked out of the room.

Before long Zacko followed while carrying a bag of coins. He ordered some people to buy food and drinks. Rey asks Asgar to come to the bakery with 2 people. He ordered it yesterday. The bread will be brought as a stock while waiting for the burning. The plan of burning will begin after the sun is directly overhead.

The atmosphere this morning was excited. Everyone took a shower before eating. No one is afraid of the plan today. Asgar invites Jezko and Cleo to a meal together. Rey explained their plan. Cleo patted Rey's hand giving support despite worry. He doesn't know who Rey really is. Rey warns Jezko not to leave the base no matter what happens, must accompany Cleo even to the bathroom. Jezko promised.
