| Chapter 31 |
| Seyona, now in her original clothes, paused outside Camus' door. Her mind was solely on getting back Flik's sword, and then Leli and her can go back to Terran's castle home free, but first-. The thief took a final look down the hallway then opened the door, and slid inside the Red Knight's room. Seyona took a moment to let her eyes adjust to the dark, and she spotted Camus, or rather heard, on his bed and his armor in the corner. Slowly she crept over to the armor, and shifted the pieces, and found, to her dismay, no sword. Seyona frowned, she couldn't stay here for long, who knows how early these knights get up. Seyona held her breath when Camus rolled onto his side, and the sword appeared on Camus' side. She stood up, shaking her head at Miklotov's ignorance of leaving the sword on his person, and leaned over Camus. With smooth expert hands, Seyona slowly started to pull Flik's sword out of it's scabbard, then stopped when her hand was seized by Camus'. "Who-" Seyona panicked, and tried to free her hand and the sword at the same time. Seyona found herself on the ground with Camus on top of her, pinning her hands to the ground. "Let me go!" Seyona cried, and tried to knee him, but apparently Camus had one leg positioned over hers preventing her to do so. "Let you go?" Camus repeated her plea, and he shook his head, "First who are you and what are you doing in my chambers?" "Give me that sword." Seyona growled, glaring. Camus squinted his brown eyes and looked at Seyona hard, "Hey, do I know you? Speak again, please." Seyona just clenched her jaw, and continued giving Camus an icy stare. They stared at each other in silence then it dawned on the Red knight, and Seyona's mouth went dry. "You're Sir Rudolf! But-" He looked down at Seyona's body, particularly her chest, "You're a woman." Seyona fumed, "I don't know who you are talking about, but I'm not Rudolf." Camus' eyes lit up, "Oh, no, you're Sir Rudolf, or should I say Mrs. Rudolf?" Seyona clenched her fists as Camus laughed at his joke. "Look, maybe we can make an agreement." The Red Knight's eyebrows rose, "Oh, you want to get this sword, eh. Why is it so important to you?" She closed her eyes, and tested Camus' grip on her arms and legs then resigned, "It's a long story." Camus grinned, "Well, since I'm up two hours before daylight I have time to hear it, and then we'll decide on the payment." |
