Mike

After the breakfast is done, all the people except the girl and the black-haired man are happy. But for the servants, it is mostly forced. For the nobles and kings, it is also forced, but some were genuinely interested.the man takes a bite of food and feels nauseous.

The man notices the girl had not eaten one bite or even lifted a fork or spoon. To the man, this was a waste of time. No one could tell what the girl was thinking her face was still blank from what the man could see, or maybe it was his mind playing tricks on him.her Iris's eyes had become even more blue, even though a few shards were visible. Those same thoughtless eyes seemed to emanate a strange feeling of unease.

His thoughts are interrupted when a few papers are placed on the table by a guard, who, with a stern voice, orders the man to sign without giving him a pen but a knife.

This confuses the man, but seeing all the eyes on him, he picks up the papers.

The first one is full of gibberish or a language not known to him, but there were a lot of circles and triangles.

He puts the paper down.

The next paper is about something... about staying 63.71 km from the castle.

He puts that down also.

This action confuses the people. One of the most complicated and new reading of the documents technic or just skipping all the words and going to the main points.They surely have to steal this genius way.

The only man not interested was the silver-haired man, who seemed to be also bored of the long process.

The last page is about the man having received gold coins, food, clothes, and other stuff, which he did not see being given to him.

"So I don't—"

He is cut off.

"Oh, don't worry. You will receive everything, so the first one is for a surprise. A special thing I would rather not give up..."

In the king's mind, the special thing had overstayed and needed to be disposed of before it killed him.

"The second actually.Means that if you cross that 63.71 or something like that you will have a heart attack and die. It will happen in half a month, but don't worry. I'll give you a map marked perfectly so if you don't cross the marked places and the third one is the things in that bag. Oh, you might be thinking it is too small but it is full of those. It is because of space... I mean a space ability," the man looks at a bag which is put on the table.the man thinks about it."so where is the pen"

The man's comment is laughed at by the people until the girl explains that he signs with his blood. The man starts to wonder if he is going to get sold to the devil, but he still cuts his finger. The knife is much sharper than he expected, so he cuts a bit deep. He puts his blood on all three papers, then pops the finger in his mouth.

The king sees the blood on the papers with the weird writings. He gets happy. He stands from his seat, going up to the paper, picking it up. He laughs. He then takes the knife, cuts his own finger only a little, and places it in between the circles and triangles.

Then he goes to the girl. He intentionally digs deeper than his own cut, but not as deep as the man's. He presses the finger right where the man's blood was, and something seems to change. It is the girl's emotion. They seem to be transferred to the man, and she is angry and looking back at her

After he notices something .the king had noticed, but it too but it's too late. A clawed furry arm, a white blur is already at the king's neck. The girls crawls digs in his neck. The girl is now standing up, and the king's body is above the floor.

The man is so scared that he releases two hours worth of wine. Before anything more can happen, the two disappear.

The royals who were almost laughing, their eyes are looking at the king's neck, get horrified. The king's neck is dented inwards, blood spraying all over.

The king's personal healers all enter to check on the king. Unfortunately, he lived. But now with The trauma of a thousand people and the embarrassment of the same number

*********

The man and the girl appear 8 kilometers away, to be exact. They are near a small house, more of a cabin. The two appear a few feet in the air where the way they were. The man, who was scared, spins and lands on his face, but the girl lands gracefully, her eyes a lighter blue.

The man stands up, having a bump on his head.

"They could have warned me wait where the hell are we?" Looking around, he finds the surroundings very foresty.

"Your master shouldn't they have given you a bag with—"

Before the man can ask what the girl means by master, a bag falls on his face.

"Oh, there... it was late. Oh, wait, your finger seems to be bleeding. By the way, can I ask why you put it in your mouth? It does not help that much, I think."

The man tries to dodge the question because he also didn't know why. He just saw other people do it, and some person had told him that it makes the wound heal faster, even though it probably isn't true. He tried it and believed it, and even though that habit continued with him, it was now a normal instinct, even though it was probably unhealthy, he still did it.

"Well, now look at this house."

"Yeah, house. And whatever is in this very small bag. I should throw it in the house—no, I mean we... yeah..."

He stops when he feels somebody holding his hand.

It is the girl looking at the bleeding finger. Then the finger gets closer to her mouth, but the man stops her.

"Stop, that's unhealthy."

The girl looks at him.

"But why do you do it if it's unhealthy?"

The man, thinking about it, sees it is ironic.

"Well... I usually pierced my finger while doing things in the lab. I mean, in a building for weapons creation, and also we sometimes made custom weapons. I was the multitasker. I was the designer, the weapon specialist, and some others, including electrician. My adoptive parents wanted a genius."

The man stops himself for a moment, thinking of something.why am I saying all this

"Just don't do that. I will also try not to do it."

The man gives a small smile.
