Chapter 29
They were now inside the barracks, the barracks interior was just an ordinary one. Have a table and a chair, and also rooms for the soldiers to live in.
But the place was pretty empty, there was no weapon stored inside. Seeing that Fendrel can only sigh helplessly. 'I really need to find a blacksmith, as soon as possible. Because if my soldiers need to fight, and their weapon suddenly broke, that would really be a big loss.' Imagining his soldiers died not because they're weak, but instead they died because their weapons suddenly crumbled in the middle of a fight. Just thinking about it, makes Fendrel feel depressed.
He throw those thoughts at the back of his head, for now. Before shifting his gazed towards the humans, no, to be precise towards Sansa. Sansa's appearance was really hideous, she was bald since all of her hair got burnt by the fire. Half of her face was also covered by scars.
"Are you okay now?, Miss Sansa." Fendrel said to Sansa.
"Im okay now, Sir Fendrel. Thanks you for saving my life" Although she was thanking Fendrel, Her face was facing downward. He appeared to be depressed, not wanting to lift up her face, for anyone to see.
Fendrel put his right hand on his back, as if he was going to get something. But Fendrel was just taking something from his system inventory. It was a half mask, that can cover half of Sansa's face. He specifically buy it in the system, its just an ordinary mask, nothing special. Its blue in color, and has a white linings on the surface.
"Here, Miss Sansa, take this. This will help to cover your scars" Fendrel then put the mask on the table.
Sansa lifted her face to see, what Fendrel wanted to give to her. Upon seeing the mask, Sansa can't help but cry. Looking at the woman he loved crying, Carl's heart was in stinging pain, it's like someone piercing his heart with a needle.
"Why, 'sob' why you're helping us?!. We 'sob' are humans, you should've just killed us!. 'sob' Now, how 'sob' I'm gonna live my life 'sob' with this hideous face!" Sansa said with reproach, while crying.
"No, Sansa your beautiful. In my eyes you are still the most beautiful woman. Just always remember, that I'm here always by your side. I'll help you, and I won't leave you, no matter what." Carl hugged Sansa, while saying that. He then looked at Fendrel apologetically.
Fendrel just smiled, indicate that he didn't mind. Fendrel really doesn't mind at all, Sansa was mentally unstable. Obviously she just said those words unintentionally, so he doesn't really take it to heart. But not everyone as understanding as Fendrel, his three subordinates at back, were pretty annoyed. Especially Franco he was looking at Sansa, as if he looking at his mortal enemy.
'Why this human, is angry with his majesty. His majesty saved him, then she's angry instead of being thankful, and talking to his majesty's like that.... ARGHH, I hate this human' Franco thought.
"Well, Carl I will take my leave first. Find me at my house if you need something" Fendrel said, while maintaining his calmed.
"Yes, Sir Fendrel. I will just see you, if I already made my decision. I'm sorry again, Sir Fendrel" Carl said.
Fendrel did not waste time, he then left the barracks. After hearing that they already left, Sansa lifted his face to look at Carl.
"Carl, I feel horrible. I just said those mean words to my savior." Carl can't help but giggle, because of her cute face. (well, love is blind) He lifted his right hand to wipe Sansa's tears.
"Don't worry Sir Fendrel is really a good ma-monster. I'm sure he doesn't take your words to heart." Sansa nodded, then suddenly as if something hit her. Her cheeks began to blushed, she immediately slipped out of Carl's embrace.
"Ahm, I'm sorry. I didn't mea-"
Carl immediately embrace her back. "Why are you sorry, you can cry on my shoulder, you can lean on it, I don't mind." Carl hold Sansa's face with his hands lovingly. He then looked straight at his eyes. "Sansa from now on, I will protect you, I will take care of you. And from now on I will promise that, that tragedy will not happen again." Then another crying season began.
Bogish scratch his scalp while smiling wryly, whereas Lask has a face that telling 'why I am here'

Fendrel was in his yard leisurely waiting on a chair, with Lavender at her side. Half a day had passed since Fendrel left the barracks. And just like what Carl said, they come to see him, Fendrel smiled when he saw Carl and his companion, he then offered them to take a sit.
"So, are you here to say goodbye" Fendrel asked.
"No Sir Fendrel... Sir Fendrel we will thicken our faces, to asked if we can settle in your village for some time" Carl said, that make Fendrel smiled in victory inside.
"Yeah, it's okay. Not a problem at all, but as you can see, we don't have an available houses. So you need to get some goblins or orcs to build you a house. You don't have to worry your house would looked crude, even though they looked like that they are pretty good builder" Fendrel said.
"Haha, Yeah, I can see that judging from the houses of the village" Carl Lough at what Fendrel said.
"Ahm, Sir Fendrel I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say those words to you" Sansa said those words while bowing, She really do felt sorry of what she did.
"It's okay, past is past. I didn't really take those words in my heart, haha" Seeing Fendrel laughing, she let out a sighed of relief.
"Sir Fendrel, is there anything I can help you with the village" Sansa said, she was trying to recoup Fendrel of what she did.
"Hmm, I do need your help." Sansa eyes lit up, when she heard Fendrel. "Aren't you humans good at doing business." Fendrel asked.
"Yes Sir Fendrel, I do have some knowledge about business. My family own a little business in the town. Why do you ask Sir Fendrel." Sansa asked puzzled.
"Well, as you can see, my people doesn't really know how to run a business. So what about you teach them how to run a proper business, that would be a great help to my village." Fendrel said helplessly.
"I can Sir Fendrel, Do you have any place that I can teach the goblins and orcs."Sansa asked.
"Yes I have, there is a school in a northwest of the village"
"Wow, I can tell that Sir Fendrel really love his people. Now, I feel more horrible saying those words to you." Sansa said.
"Then, what about I also join you, and teach the kids some martial arts. Its also my thanks for saving us" Carl suddenly said.
Fendrel can't help but smiled inwardly. "Then I will thank brother Carl, that would be a big help for my village"
"Ehh, Captain are you sure, that it's not because you want to be at Sansa's side" Bogish tease Carl.
"Of course, that's also one of the reas-"
"Shut up! Carl!" Sansa glared at Carl. The latter immediately stop.
"HAHAHAHA!" Bogish can't help but laugh, then they all began to laugh.
But what they didn't know, that there was a one person. That didn't like what was happening. It's Lask who had a gloomy expression, plastered on its face.
