“That’s where you’re wrong. See, your humans were forming that mob against my girl.”
“Your girl?” he laughs. “Are you staking claim to one of my humans?”
“She is not yours. She’s mine.”
“Does she work in my factories?”
“Yes.”
“Then she’s mine. I literally own her.”
“No. You don’t understand. She’smine, Kaisax. And I’m willing to kill for her.”
His eyes flash in recognition, and he appears to finally understand.
“Is this why you’ve been hanging around so much lately? I knew something was up, and I never believed your taura shit about having jobs here for one second. I knew there was something going on with you.”
“Look at you. You’re so smart, Kaisax. So then it should be easy for you to understand that Brielle is mine, and you are not to touch her. She is no longer your slave, and she will never set foot in one of your factories ever again.”
We stare at each other for a long minute, and I’m prepared to kill my own brother if he fights me on this. Luckily, that isn’t necessary.
“Fine, whatever. Take her, but you’re going to stop killing my humans. Just take her and leave, Thali.”
“Can’t do that, big brother.”
“Gods see it you can. You have no stake in Lowtown.”
“Your humans messed with the wrong girl, Kaisax, and now they have to pay. See, I called my own men long ago, and while we’ve been standing here, they’ve arrived to back me up.” I nod to something behind him.
He slowly turns to look over his shoulder. Twenty of my own men who work with me as assassins are lined up behind him.
“You only brought twenty?” he scoffs. “What the fuck are they going to do? I have hundreds of mine within calling distance.”
“They’re all highly trained assassins. Don’t underestimate them. And clear your men unless you want them to die, too. That’s an order.”
I don’t actually have the authority to order my brother to do anything, but I don’t care. He either does what I say, or he dies.
With that, I turn back towards Brielle, who is still standing in the same spot with her mouth hanging open.
“Kill them all,” I order my men.
They waste no time doing as I say, and I hear Kaisax muttering something about the humans not being worth it as he walks away. I smile at the human running nearest to me before beheading him with my sword.
I slash my sword again, taking off two more heads before plunging into another’s heart. Their blood sprays all over me, and I relish it. Checking that Brielle is okay, I set off to do just a little more killing. Brielle is fine, and I need to work off some of this murderous energy I’m feeling before I’m alone with her.
I sheath my sword and pull my bow back out. Time to get rid of the humans who are far enough to think that they actually got away. I notch an arrow and release it, letting it fly into someone’s eye, before repeating the motion and hitting another in the same spot.
I spend the next few minutes doing this before grabbing my sword once again. Every now and then, I glance at Brielle, who still hasn’t taken her eyes off me. I need to go to her now.
I kill a few more humans on my way to her but sheath my sword once I’m in front of her. It’s up to my men to destroy the rest of them. I know they’ll get the job done.
“Are you hurt? Are you okay?” I ask as soon as I’m in front of her.
“Um… y-yes. I’m okay. I’m not hurt,” she sputters.
“Baby, what’s wrong?” I put a hand to her face.
“You came for me. You saved me.”
