" Hey dont know how to talk?" The warrior ask again and Robert remains quiet.
" The borders are not safe, you shouldnt stay here for too long"
" So can I stay at your place for a while?" Robert request " I promise I will leave when my wound heals" He added.
The warrior thought for a while before given Robert a reply.
" Alright you will stay in my place for a while then you leave When your wound heals " The warrior reply.
I cant just allow him to die here in the borders even if I dont know who he is The warrior thought silently
" Thank you" Robert reply with a deep husky voice.
" This way" The warrior said as he help Robert to his feet and lead him through the borders to his house.
They took the route where there is no warriors and in no time they arrived at the warrior house.
" Sit here while I get you water to drink" The warrior said as he point towards a stone and walk into the hut to get water for Robert.
it will be nice to stay here and heal for a while Robert thought silently and sat on the stone.
The warrior came back shortly with a cup of water in his hand. He hand it to Robert and sat opposite him.
" Im Elias " the warrior introduce himself and Robert just nod his head as he gulp the cup of water down in one go which shows he has been dieing of thirst all this while.
" Thanks Elias"
" You seems to have bleed so much from your wound" Elias said looking at Robert wound.
" Yes, I was pierced by wood splitter" Robert reply as he touch the wound with his fingers.
" Dont do that, your wound will get infected more than it has" Elias cautioned Robert with a frown on his face.
" I will go get some herbs for you wound. I will be back in a jiffy so stay here and dont go anywhere" Elias rose up to his feet and Robert raise his brows at him.
" Am not a kid that you can just ask to stay in one place" Robert said with a cold voice and Elias flinch.
Even if he is cold, he doesnt look armful even when he is armed with daggers with daggers and other weapons, Elias doesnt seem to be afraid of him.
what a cold man Elias thought silently as he try to maintain his composure.
"Am not saying you are a kid, Im only saying you should stay here and wait for me while I get you herbs for your wounds" Elias said and start walking away not waiting to hear Robert cold response. Anyway Robert didnt have any intention of replying to him anyway so that balance the equation.
Somewhere in scorpion nation, Harold is healing fast from the wounds he sustained from sir Louis arrow in jingle nation.
He was lucky the arrows were not poisoned like the ones he shot sir Louis with.
" You should take some rest and allow your wounds to heal fast" the nation doctor said as he apply some herbs and ointment on the surface of the wound.
" You old fool, must you apply so much compress on the surface of the wound?" Harold ask coldly with his eyes deep as he felt pains on his chest.
Harold is the type that doesnt like bearing pains even the slightest of it but loves inflicting pains on others.
" Im sorry Lord Harold" The doctor apologized before Harold will feeds his head to the birds in the sky.
There is nothing hard for Harold to do as long he is alive and still the ruler of scorpion nation.
His daughter walked in with a worried look on her face. No one was allowed to see the ruler when he returned from jingle nation including his daughter Isabel.
" Father!" Isabel called when she saw her father lying on a mattress with the nation doctor by his side looking terrified.
" Isabel" Harold called with a smile on his face when he heard the sweet voice of his beloved daughter.
" Are you alright? Oh my goodness! Your wounds are so deep" Isabel exclaim with a worried tone.
" Its nothing Isabel, your father is doing okay" Harold said as he hold his daughter fair tiny hands.
The doctor leave silently when the father and daughter starts talking. Its a law in scorpion nation that no one is permitted to stand and listen when the ruler household is discussing.
" You brought more slaves father" Isabel said with a sad tone and Harold face light up. Even if she is the daughter of the ruler, she doesnt support her father wrong intentions.
" Yes Isabel. What do you think, they look great right?" Harold ask with a grin on his face. He was happy he was able to defeat Louis the great ruler of jingle nation and took his people away too.
He was also looking for that son of his but his warriors said he died in the fire so he has nothing to worry about.
" They dont look great father. Some of those slaves are pregnant women and nursing mothers. They dont deserve to be treated that way"
" They deserve to be treated as slaves. They are slaves and will remain our slaves forever. With time you will understand why Im doing this Isabel" Harold reply as he clench his fist together due to the pains in his chest.
" There is nothing to understand father, just let them go" Isabel said with no expression on her face.
" No way Isabel, there is no way Im going to let them go. I have sacrificed so much to capture them and Im not going to let them go like that" Harold said coldly. The thought of setting the people of jingle nation free wants to make him go crazy. How can he let them go after he had went through hell to defeat their ruler and capture them.
" Then you shouldnt have capture them in the first place" Isabel reply
" Get out, you dont have anything reasonable to say"
