"Your junk!" Luca g.r.o.a.n.e.d as they ran out of the building. Juin's clothes were completely burned. He quickly grabbed a piece of tablecloth from a table outside an empty restaurant and threw it on Juin. "Seriously, are you actually an exhibitionist?!"
Juin blushed slightly as he wrapped his body with the tablecloth. It was uncomfortable to run in, but it was better than having his junk out in the open air.
"What's wrong with it?" Wolfe raised a brow as they continued to run in the direction of the forest, hoping to find somewhere to rest before they could devise other plans. "We run around n.a.k.e.d all the time anyway."
Juin looked at him with a weird expression, but he did not say anything. No matter what, he was raised a normal human, and unlike Wolfe, he was not a shapeshifter who was used to nudity!
Unfortunately for them, when they were near the border of the city, they had no choice but to stop.
In front of them was a human barricade that stretched for miles.
Of course, they could have hidden themselves in one of the empty buildings… But it was rather hard to hide when all the guards that formed the human barricade had their spears and arrows pointed at them.
"Damn…" Wolfe cursed under his breath as he scratched the back of his head. He did not smell nor hear them. "They must have masked their scents…" he mumbled. As for his hearing, he was still experiencing some ringing from earlier, hence he could not hear too clearly.
"Who's that?" Juin wondered as they slowly walked toward the human barricade. They had no choice. All of them were almost completely exhausted from the battles earlier, and they knew that if they were to run, those people would come after them with attacks.
In front of the human barricade was a luxuriously clothed man, sipping tea as if he were just enjoying his view. When he finally noticed Juin and the others, he smiled, gave his cup of tea to one of his attendants, and stood up.
"Well, hello there. I'm glad you guys have decided to join us," the Crown Prince of Wisterion said with a smile as he opened his arms wide. When he saw their hostile and careful expressions, he chuckled and raised both hands. "Look, I come in peace… But just in case you guys don't believe me…" He then snapped his fingers and said, "I have a little thing to protect myself…"
He then slowly looked to the side and pointed with his chin.
Juin looked at where the Crown Prince was looking, and he frowned. His fists clenched up subconsciously as he narrowed his eyes. Tied up with a rope that was glowing in gold was Cyrus, who was unconscious. Good thing was that Cyrus seemed unhurt.
Pulling his eyes away from Cyrus, Juin asked in a cold voice, "What have you done with him?"
"Calm down," the Crown Prince of Wisterion said with a smile. "I didn't hurt him. He's already unconscious when I found him."
"Then why do you tie him up? He's just a kid?"
"Oh?" The Crown Prince sat down on his chair and crossed his legs, taking his own sweet time before saying with a cryptic gaze, "Really? Just a kid?"
Juin gulped, wondering if the Crown Prince had known about Cyrus' true identity.
"Even though I arrived late, I had heard about the 'kid''s ability and what he did on behalf of you during the Elimination Battles. So," he said as he pulled out a string from his pocket. The string glowed in the same golden color as it moved around his fingers as if it had its own will. It then settled into a ring-format around the Crown Prince's index finger.
The Crown Prince then looked at Juin and continued, "I feel like I should take some precaution. Don't worry. As long as the 'kid' doesn't fight and that no one tries to save him, he would be fine. The Monster Binding Rope is smart. It will even protect the kid if someone tries to hurt him, so you don't have to worry about him."
Juin took a quick glance at Cyrus before looking at the Crown Prince again. "What do you want from us?"
"An exchange." The Crown Prince then gave one of his attendants a quick glance.
As if he knew everything that was going on in his master's mind, the attendant then directed three of his men to bring a few chairs over.
Once the chairs, and a small tea table, were placed in front of the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince signaled the boys to sit down. As the attendants placed the snacks and cups of tea on the table, Luca asked, "Your Highness, what kind of exchange do you expect from us? We are just teenagers, and I'm sure that you know that we aren't even from here. It's unlikely that we will be able to help you."
The Crown Prince glanced at him and signaled the teenagers to drink. When the boys picked up their cups, he leaned back in his chair and said, "But you can. Or at least, that fire boy can."
He then looked at Juin.
"Me?"
The Crown Prince nodded. However, before he could say anything, he suddenly looked to his side and said, "If you are here, just show yourself. Why are you hiding again?"
The water-air next to him rippled and a human silhouette formed next to him. Soon, Master Shawn appeared, bowing to the Crown Prince respectfully. "Your Highness, apologies for failing the mission. The boy… The boys are stronger than I thought."
He then looked at the boys and nodded respectfully.
"Ah!" The Crown Prince's smile turned even more sincere. "That's great to know! If they can win against the leader of my private guards, they should be able to finish off the mission."
"May I remind you that I was merely taken aback, Your Highness?" Master Shawn said with a disappointed tone.
"Well, they still won, so…" The Crown Prince patted the man's shoulder before looking at the boys. "So, back to our discussion… I need your help. In exchange, I will make sure that you get back to your own world safely."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
