The Last Whiteblood's

Thief Girl

"So.." Elena poured the syrup into the glasses of her two guests at this time. "What is your business to Athiesh Kingdom?" After pouring the syrup, he sat down in front of them.

Kenneth did not immediately reply, he raised his eyebrows. "Why do you want to know? No business with you, right?"

"Ken" Arion reprimands.

Elena smiled faintly in response to Kenneth who was disrespectful to her. "Athiesh Kingdom is my place to steal. That little kingdom doesn't have one great soldier to capture me"

Kenneth snorted, he felt in front of him this time was a very cunning girl. Behind her appearance of being able to bewitch men, Elena used it as a weapon to steal.

"We left because we wanted to see some people, that's all" Arion replied, lightly.

"Oh?" Elena lifted her cup and gulped down the syrup water inside. "Just because of that, huh? It must be very important to you"

Kenneth's ears warmed up and his chest felt tight. He gripped his glass until it broke, making Arion surprised and immediately turned to him.

"Ken, what-"

"Stop making small talk, I know what you mean!" Kenneth immediately stood up, staring sinisterly at Elena.

Meanwhile, Elena was calm. He put his cup back on the table. "I don't understand what you're saying" he said.

"Don't act like that! You purposely lost our horses so that you could blackmail us and rob us of all our possessions! Right, right?!" kenneth's anger is mounting.

"Kenneth!" Arion grabbed Kenneth's arm, but the man immediately brushed him off.

"Arion, don't defend this woman, she's a Thief and I've never believed in the Thief, never will!" Kenneth stepped out of the house, then slammed the door hard.

"Kenneth!" call Arion, he wants to catch up, but Elena forbids.

"Let him alone, he needs time"

Arion looked out the window. "I don't know why he was so angry, but he was calm as usual"

"Maybe there's something going on in his past that's related to Thieves like me"

Arion turned to Elena, then sat back down. He lowered his head, reflecting back on Kenneth's drastically changed nature. Thief, a class of thieves whose job is to rob and take things from people.

"By the way.."

Elena's voice made her re-establish her head.

"You.." Elena got up from her seat slowly and brought herself closer to Arion. Their faces were a few inches away, making Arion a little awkward to look at Elena's face. Elena's hand rested on Arion's shoulder, Elena's other hand extended to the side of Arion's face, and continued towards her hair. "Your hair is white." she said.

"Don't you.." Elena wanted to continue her words, but since Arion already knew what Elena wanted to say, she was a little startled and her body reflexively moved, leaving Elena's hand resting on Arion's shoulder loose.

Elena was surprised, she quickly moved her hand to rest on the wall behind Arion. Their foreheads touched, their faces becoming closer than before. Arion could feel Elena's breath a little faster in shock.

They looked at each other at such a close distance. Arion's sitting position slightly shrank down because of Elena who was on top of it. Elena instantly came to her senses, she immediately lifted her head from Arion's forehead and sat back in her chair. Their faces are both red.

Elena mendehem, she pretended to be calm by drinking her syrup. In fact, he was not able to think clearly because of this. The heart beat was beating rapidly, and Elena wished that Arion had not heard it. Elena had also never felt this kind of feeling before, being that close to a man that made her heart almost pop.

"I'm sorry, I'm too close" Elena said.

"No, it's my fault" Arion said.

After that, the atmosphere became awkward. None of them want to start talking. A few moments later, they both stood and looked at each other again because the decision rose from their seats which was fairly the same.

"I... want to take a shower?" ask Arion.

"Sure, the bathroom is in the back" Elena replied, trying to be as calm as possible.

"Alright" Arion nodded and rushed to the back.

Elena heaved a sigh of relief, she felt that she had undergone a heavy obstacle in her life. For 17 years, Elena had never felt this nervous before.

He glanced out, and there was Kenneth sitting on the well, turning his back to his house. Elena stepped out and called out to Kenneth.

"Hey"

"What?" kenneth with a keto.

"Don't sit there, the concrete of the well is old, you may fall into the well"

Instead of responding well, Kenneth gave a rude answer.

"What did you warn me for? If I go into the well, you don't have to bother to take away my treasure, do you?"

"Oh my goodness.." Elena shook her head slowly, that man indeed really hated her. Fortunately, Kenneth said that there was nothing Elena put into her heart.

Not long after, the concrete of the well was completely shattered as the load received from Kenneth was so heavy, that Kenneth lost his balance before going inside while screaming.

Nimble, Elena raised her one hand forward, right at Kenneth. A number of tree branches around there move quickly to Kenneth's feet and then wrapped around there. Kenneth's body stopped falling, he was pulled back up until his feet stepped on the ground again.

Kenneth became confused himself, he stared at the branches of the tree that seemed to have the desire to move.

"Don't put on a face like a fool, that's one of my abilities" Elena said.

"You.. plant operator?" ask Kenneth.

Not long after, Arion appeared from inside the house with a bare chest, his lower body covered by a piece of cloth. Her body was still wet, and so was her hair.

"What's? What's going on?" ask Arion. He rushed out and postponed his bath because he heard Kenneth's scream.

"Gosh.." Elena closed her mouth, looking at the scene she rarely saw.

"Woy, put your clothes on first!" exclaim Kenneth.

***

Back to Rabadar Empire, but this time it was not a highlighted palace family, but a newcomer.

This man had entered through strict guard easily, without the slightest hitch. Accidentally, he got some info. There, the settlers complained to each other because the entry system into the city was tighter than before.

They guessed that this system change happened because Rabadar Empire did not want any more help.

"Arion Whiteblood was here a few days ago"

"Yes, therefore Rabadar Empire implements new rules"

Now, that man was inside this big city. No one suspected him, in a city full of guards and maybe some of them were Sensor-type, none of them could identify him.

This person was Mender Blackclaws, one of the three fugitives of the world.

He came here only to visit and stop by from this long and relentless journey. He intends to leave the city after his energy and supplies are fulfilled.

As he was walking through the city, he saw a boy who might be 13 years old sitting on the side of the road leaning against a tree. The boy seemed to be asleep hugging a wooden stick that seemed to be taller than him.

Mender saw the condition of the child's body more clearly. The boy is skinny, malnourished. Her hair was long and tangled, unkempt, as were her shabby and slightly torn clothes. Behind his pants that are wide and long to the knee, it turns out that the child does not have a left leg in other words a physical disability.

Approaching the boy, he sat down next to him and leaned against the same tree. Feeling that someone was beside him, the child opened his eyes and turned to his side.

"Sorry to wake you up, I just want to sit here and rest" Mender said.

"I'm not asleep, sir. I know you're gonna walk in here and sit here too, I know that" she replied. He answered calmly without fear, different from his peers in general.

"Oh? I see, yes" Mender was a little interested in the boy next to him.

"What's your name?" ask Mender.

"Leon, sir" he answered.

"What a good name. Where's yourdwelling?"

"Away from the city"

"You have a family?"

"No, I've been living alone since I was a kid"

Mender was silent for a moment.

"You're good at using Qube?" ask Mender.

"Lumayan. I was able to control the animals around me to move in my own way. I use it when I'm feeling lonely"

Mender smiled, he had found a great talent, probably going to be able to overcome the problems that were occurring in this continent.

"You want me to teach you a few tricks?" ask Mender.

"But I feel very doubtful about my current condition" Leon glanced at his feet.

"No problem.." Mender smiled, he patted Leon's upper left thigh twice. "I think you're talented and it's futile not to take advantage of your talent" Mender said, pulling his hand back.

Not long after, Leon felt something touch the ground in a part he had not known all along.

"What?!" Leon was very surprised to see the left leg that he had been craving all this time. "Legs?!"

"You can use it. That way, you don't have to have any trouble doing Qube training" Mender said.

Leon is still amazed. He moved his left leg, though it was still stiff. Mender got up from his seat.

"Stand, from now on you are my disciple"

At the same time in a slum village, Brian also just got a student. He got it after saving the boy from his stepfather's torment.

Brian finished off the boy's father with a single slash of his sword.

The boy is 12 years old. He had no expression, his gaze was blank and had no heart. Brian found the right figure, let alone this brat controlling a unique power.

"Be proud, from now on you are no longer bound by your father's rules and do not need to live in this filthy place. I'll take you away and train you to be a useful person" Brian said.

The boy just stared coldly.

"After you're strong, I'll give you a mission. Hunt Whiteblood for me"
