Hello!
This is chapter 3 of Chained.
Thank you for your support!
Enjoy!
Yona POV
Hak...such a familiar name.
"And why are you doing here, Hak?" I asked.
"You'll have to answer your previous question first," he bargained.
Hmph.
"Call me Yoana."
"That's an unusual name," he mused.
"I prefer the word unique."
"How about peculiar?"
"No." I started to feel a bit irritated.
"Alright, alright," he laughed. "I was looking for someone."
How odd. He came here deliberately.
"Who?"
"I won't tell you, " he said, sticking out his tongue with his indifferent eyes.
I rolled my eyes. "Fine, whatever. So what did you commit?"
"...Treason, mostly"
My eyes widen. I don't hear that word often. People are sentenced to death if they committed treason.
"Why?"
Hak's face became serious, and he leaned closer to me. Part of me wanted to back away, but I didn't want to arouse suspicion.
"Because this hierarchy is corrupted."
His words were like a slap in the face. I wanted to defend my father and say how good he is even though I didn't have any proof.
"How so?"
"There are a lot of problems that His Highness isn't addressing. "
"Why couldn't you just tell your tribe leader, so he could report to the King?"
"Everybody's too oblivious, and the citizens are scared."
"Do you want to kill the king?"
"No, of course not."
Internally, I left out a sigh of relief.
But is he telling the truth? Is our hierarchy corrupted? Perhaps my father isn't doing enough. But maybe he's lying, so I can sympathise with him and help him escape.
My brain was turning gears.
There was a pause of silence, and I noticed that he was observing me.
"Okay. Thank you answering my questions. I have to go now. Oh, and don't tell anyone that I was here."
I started to get up and grabbed my lantern.
"Bye Hak."
"Wait."
I stopped.
"Why are you here?"
"Curiosity," I simply responded.
Then, I left with suspicion trailing behind me.
(Next day)
I awoke to the barks of the usual dogs again. The usual dogs started I was tempted to yell at them to shut up.
"I got good news!"
"What?"
" The thunder beast will be executed this evening."
Hak...
