"She escaped."
The moment he finished killing the main bulk of the enemy forces and returned to the spot where his main leaders of his city were there, Lily shouted in great excitement.
And Arthur just tried to keep his smile valid over his face, hoping she wouldn't see through.
"Welcome back master," he said while approaching the group but he didn't cancel his transformation or hide away his sword. "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine," she answered with a tired look over her face, "just exhausted from fighting and running."
"That's expected," he simply said, "do you know where you were confined? Did you see the other two girls as well? Do you have any info regarding the true forces of our enemies?"
He tried to seem concerned about his enemies and her info, yet her response was swiftly said like she also thought about this.
"Interrogating me kid? Hahaha, alright I'll try to answer what I can," she smiled before adding, "I was imprisoned in a dark place, a cave I suppose. However something major happened and they were forced to move me around. I escaped during this, but I recall being alone with no other girls around."
He glanced silently at her for couple of moments before saying:
"It's good to have you back," he lied, "we need any capable hand to face this hard enemy of mine."
"They seem to be wary of you," she chuckled, "but from what I saw, you are doing great yourself."
She glanced then over the sword in his hand, "what is this technique? I never heard about it before."
"This is something I came up with to face my enemies," he simply answered without giving much details about it.
"Oh, you found yourself another capable master then," she laughed, "who is he? Is he one of your new supporters from higher planes?"
"You can say so," he didn't give her a definite answer, "Do you have any more info we can use? Like hearing any side talks between your guards about their direction?"
"Sigh, I'm a tired kid," she said before adding, "can you come and show me the road? I want to have a long rest before getting back in shape again to fight."
Her eyes turned serious as she added, "all I know is that they won't stop attacking here no matter what."
He nodded before turning to his group, "I'll leave here to you," he said to Amelia.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure to get rid off them all before the reinforcements arrive."
He nodded before moving beside the fake Amanda with his dragonair form and sword in hand. If she tried to act funny, he wouldn't hesitate to fight seriously with her.
Yet her scheme was far off that conclusion of his.
"What reinforcements?" she asked while walking beside him and getting near the city.
"Oh they are nothing," he lied, "just a bunch of scattered villagers from here and there."
"How did you get in touch with them?" she asked and after realizing she said something out of context she hurriedly added, "I see that your hands are fully occupied with all these fights."
"It's just coincidence," he simply answered and her eyes glanced at him in doubt and discontent.
'So she is after the tree after all,' Gege muttered while the two walked silently shoulder to shoulder.
'She must come for something big,' the golden dragon said, 'or seeking just more than just one thing.'
'Ding! I think she is here for the tree, after all she saw how capable this ability was.'
Arthur heard them and didn't answer any of their doubts. He also was asking himself these questions.
"You seem to love cities," she suddenly said, "built one here and one back thereā¦ how did you get such knowledge I'm curious?"
"Master," he glanced over her as he marveled the perfect effect of her technique. She was exactly looking like Amanda, except for her attitude and behavior seemed a bit off, "you already asked me this before," he lied.
"Oh, did I?" she laughed while adding, "why don't I recall this? Then what was your answer back then?"
"It was a mere stroke of luck," he simply said and like this she couldn't get a satisfied answer from him. "What happened after the fight at the academy? Can you tell?"
"Sigh, I told you they took me to a dark place and I knew nothing after," she also refused to give him any answer.
"Here we are," he stopped suddenly in front of a two stories building with a small garden and a low leveled wall, "you can stay here."
"And you?"
She moved all of sudden to give him a hug from his back. Her hands moved swiftly to touch his scales and try to massage his neck, "don't you want to play a little with your master?"
Her attitude was totally off, and her actions were out of Arthur's expectations. Yet he controlled himself and calmly pushed her away as he turned to face her. "Sorry master, I have other things to take care of."
"Oh, leaving me in such a sorrow state," she said while pushing down her gown a little revealing her white shoulders and perfect uppr shape of her chest. "I'm full of bruises and wounds. Your master needs some special care, and I want you to help me with this one."
Arthur had to swear he was tempted with this alluring offer, but he still rejected it with a calm mind. "Sorry again, I have many things to do."
"Cold hearted one," she sneered, "this won't take long y'know."
'She is after you boy,' suddenly the golden dragon laughed, 'don't tell me she came here just for that?'
'I want to kill her more now,' Gege bellowed in rage, 'I want to make her suffer.'
'Ding! You need to move away, kid, refuse her offer now,' the system advised.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you," Arthur smiled as he faintly added, "we never had such a relationship before."
"Nothing is late then," she chuckled, while entering into the small mansion and stood a few meters inside the opened door.
Then she pushed off her gown to fall totally and reveal her perfect figure. She wasn't wearing anything of mention except a very soft silk short dress that was transparent enough not to hide anything off his eyes. "Like it?" she said when she noticed his fiery gazes over her body, "wanna come and take a sweet taste of it?"
"Ahem," he cleared out his throat before hurriedly adding, "I just recalled I need to be somewhere now. You go inside and rest."
He didn't give her any room to say anything as he just kicked the ground and soared higher in the sky before vanishing from her sight.
"Tsk, you are acting like a hard rock," she muttered before sneering, "but the harder you are the more interesting it becomes."
She laughed before turning inside and closed the doors off.
