Arthur's interest was piqued the moment this girl appeared. Her special way in dressing, moving, and talking was quite special. As for her introduction about herself, well… she managed to arouse his interest much more.
"May I ask if you explain the princess term to me? I came from a world full of academies and clans," he said, before pointing to her to stand straight.
"It's like the son of the head of the clan, or the next academy master candidate, something like that but in a wider group of people, controlling much more lands and ordering huge armies, much stronger than your known great clans."
"Hmm…" Arthur just rubbed his chin, as his thirst of knowledge always was his sole weakness. "May I ask how come a strong princess like you end up being here?" he asked, as according to her words she wasn't from this world, and she was the daughter of a mighty clan.
"Sigh, it's not that we were weak, but we had many opponents who were strong as us; all worked for the dark side except for us! All prospered and only we perished. As a prisoner, I was led to live and serve, while my father, the fallen king, had been humiliated. If not for his own extraordinary skill to craft these statues, he wouldn't remain alive for now."
Arthur just glanced again at the fountain with the really amazing statue in it as he marveled this craftsmanship. "It's really good, I like it," before turning to look at her, "I like you too, but you have to go and work with others, prove yourself first to me, and then you can enjoy a better life," he said, declaring his decision regarding her.
After all, what she provided was only talks, seemingly real, but it was only words. "I don't reject, but can I start my accomplishments with a little thing?" she asked, and Arthur just nodded. "Come with me, my lord," she then moved, slowly yet her body was waving right and left with each step.
Arthur had his vigilance as he kept channeling his energy all the time. a single mishap from her, and he wouldn't hesitate to burn her to charcoal. However, if she was right, then he had a new world to learn about, more info regarding his enemies, and a beautiful girl with a unique craftsmanship that he wanted.
She led him amidst the streets, not towards the central building, where all the treasures should be there. "Shouldn't we go to the main building?" he asked.
"It's a trap, empty with only deadly traps. No one lived ever there," she simply replied, "if you don't believe me, then go ahead and be my guest," she added with a soft laugh. Arthur wasn't sure yet if he should listen to her or not. "What are these monsters appearing in the statues?" he asked.
The moment he spoke these words, the body of the girl twitched, involuntarily, before she stopped, turned around and glared at his eyes.
"It was the form our royal clan enjoyed when we were in power. These statues represent each single death of one of my family, and they forced my father to make them all, and at the end he couldn't withstand the humiliation and died of grief."
Arthur could see the small specks of tears appearing on her small eyes, but she hurriedly wiped them off, controlled herself, as she turned sharply before continuing to walk as she said no more.
As for Arthur, he started to believe this girl's story, but the question was how much benefit he could take from her? Coming from a different world, with different knowledge and experience was such a treasure he could accept from her.
But he didn't speak or say a thing, as he followed her towards a distant building, on the edge of this small village. the building had nothing special about it; just like any other buildings here. if not for her to lead him directly towards it, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
"This is the storage place for these dark warriors. It's not a simple building," she said before leaning on the ground, as she grabbed a small rock and then she threw it to the front, to be stopped abruptly by an invisible shield.
"Protective array," Arthur muttered. "Not just protection, there is also an illusion. All this area starting from this point is an illusion to hide the shape of the real huge storage lying in front of us," she said, and Arthur just glanced briefly at her, not knowing if she was telling the truth or she was just laying a trap for him.
"Do you know how to destroy the array?" he asked.
"Simple, you need to overcome the defensive power of the array using force. As for the illusion, you either need to enter it and crush it with mere force, and I don't personally advise you to do so, or you look for the scattered poles of the array, which happened for me to know the places of all of them."
Arthur just listened and said nothing. If she had ill intentions for him, she could have used this chance to send him directly into the illusion trap, or was she cautious? "Alright, lead the way to extract the poles first," he said.
"We need to conquer the defensive shield first," she said.
"Do you still have your own strength?" he suddenly asked, and when he spoke about it, her body twitched again, like she was in deep pain, struggling against something.
"No, they have destroyed my own way to use my strength," she said.
"Oh," Arthur just replied, before his suspicion grew more. "You can leave then and go to work. After retrieving everything, I will come looking for you," he said, casually, while faking his look towards the shield. However, he was eyeing her carefully and cautiously; as there was definitely something wrong with this girl.
