"You, Brat." a hand came racing Ubosa's way before 'Slap' It had made contact with the skin that designated on her face.
Her mother had snapped. Her eyes were now ablaze. "Do I really need to prove myself to you, your but a child who can't even summon a proper lightning bolt in the proper position!" The guards and everyone in the surrounding area had frozen and watched the sight before them, too scared to move. Urbosa hung her head in shame and clenched her fists.
"I failed..." She mumbled to herself.
"What was that?" Urbosa looked up at her mother, her mother's teeth were gritted her, stance had changed and her fists were shaking. She looked around at the situation, dozens of civilians looking at this sight. "We'll discuss this inside." Her mother started to walk toward the barracks in which the nearest entrance for the palace was, however, Urbosa didn't move.
"Urbosa! Don't make me drag you." Urbosa's mother made a reach for her collar once more before Urbosa swatted her hand away.
"Don't touch me. I'm going." She stated flatly, stepping toward the palace as her mother had told her. Her mother followed after her, not saying a word. They made their way up the stairs and into the throne room, where the chief had taken her seat. Whilst her daughter stood opposite her, not daring to make eye contact.
"Well?" Her mother asked in order to break the silence. "You attempted to leave, again. Why?" Her mother said in order to be more specific and get an answer out of Urbosa.
However, she stayed quiet, infuriating her mother even more.
"Speak to me Urbosa!" Urbosa flinched slightly at her mother's raised tone. Stepping back slightly. was
"I wanted to, return something to a friend of mine." Urbosa started to pick at the sleeve of the coat. Her mother picked up on this and sighed.
"When will the message get across to you, I don't want you to see him, in fact, I don't want you out there at-"
"But-"
"I would appreciate if you weren't to interrupt." her mother stated calmly whilst slowly rising from her throne.
"No matter what the matter is you are to stay here, under my supervision, Understood."
"Mother I-"
"Understood." Her mother stated sternly. Urbosa stayed quiet yet again hoping for someone or something to intervene. Her mother's eyes were burning through her skull. She made an attempt to turn around to leave but was stopped by a strong grip on her arm.
"You still haven't given me your approval." Urbosa made many attempts to shake off her mother's iron grip to no avail. Her anger was almost at its peak.
"Mother, let me go."
"I believe that without your approval you're not to be going anywhere." Urbosa stopped struggling and wilted, like a flower on its last legs.
"Let, me, go." Her tone had now switched from that of a beggar to a threating monster.
"Give me your approval. Then you are free to go." Urbosa was shaking with frustration, the tears on her face had also centred from that same frustration. She made one last effort to free herself from her mother's just to fail again.
"What did I say." It seemed that her mother was transitioning to a state of annoyance. "Give me your approval and your free to go." Urbosa still didn't speak, this was a battle that she was not planning to lose as he pride would not let her. So she spoke her mind, in an act of desperation.
"Fuck you, and fuck your approval." Urbosa spun around and grabbed onto that hand that was holding her back whilst also being face to face with her mother, who seemed to be in a state of shock at her sudden outburst, and pryed her hand off. with that she ran towards the nearest exit of the palace, not planning on stopping. Her mother made an attempt to grab her daughter once more only to fail.
"Why you-" She cursed under her breath, "I will not lose to a brat like you, what gives you the right to talk to me like that!" Her mother was furious at the fact that she had thrown about by a mear teenager, and was looking around furiously for anything that could aid her in Urbosa's capture. Be for her eyes set on a certain guard.
"Amber! Run after that brat and ensure her capture! I want her sleeping in the dungeons tonight." Amber rose up at the sudden order for her chief and was shocked by how... rash it was.
"Lady Riles-"
"Are you attempting to defy the orders of your chief." Her tone was cold, sharp even. Leaving amber frozen scared.
"N-no ma'am" She denied.
"Then after her! Capture the brat by whatever means necessary, hit her a few times for all I care I just want her back alive." Amber clutched onto her spear and tensed up for every word that the chief spat.
"A-alright," She stuttered in a hoarse whisper. "I-I mean yes, Ch-Cheif." With that Amber scrambled after the runaway with whatever assistance she could find. -What could she have done, to have angered the chief to such a point of arrogance?-
"Find Lady Urbosa and apprehend her by whatever means necessary, anyone to have achieved this feat is to report back to me!" -Sorry, Lady Urbosa...-
TWO WEEKS LATER:
Ruben stepped out into the night, it was cold, but not enough to require any extra warmth.
The boy stared out into the path way, looking both ways anxiously, as though expecting someone's arrival. - It's been two weeks- He thought to himself. -Could what she had said, just been a form of sarcasm?- Ruben leaned against the door frame uncomfortablely whilst fiddling with a loose thread on the edge of his sleeve, a habit he had picked up over time. However, not keeping his eyes off the road.
"Ruben." He jumped at the sudden calling of his name, causing him to stand upright. From where the voice resignated, was an old man anticipated to be no older than 40 the silver of his hair reflecting the setting sun.
"Yes sir?" Ruben asked half dazed. The old man turned to face his back to him. Ruben winced, he knew he was in trouble the moment he saw the man's stance. Had he found out about the blade that Ruben had borrowed from the knight that was seeking accommodation? Or, that he was training the other night without his knowledge? If it was bad enough to gain a lecture, then, it was assumed to be against stable policy.
"Boy, care to tell me what you did today, two weeks before?" The man's tone was stern, yet quiet. Like an intimidating whisper almost as to not wake up the current guests.
Ruben gulped shakily, nervously. as though there where thousends of eyes around the room staring at him. -How could he have known if I was even out at that time?- Rubens head began to pull out excuses. "May I ask what had aroused such questions, sir?"
"I am the one asking questions here, boy ,so I suggest you answer them." The man's tone stayed quiet, but was still somewhat threatening. Ruben stiffly nodded his head in response, not wanting to anger the man any further "Where were you?"
"Tending to the goat's sir, as you had asked me to." Ruben was careful not to stutter, but his old habits made it's way to the surface as he began to adjust his clothes slightly. The man took notice of this strange behaviour.
"I think not." With his decition made, the man carefully pulled out an accessory of some sort, it was what seemed to be a bracelet made of the finest solid gold, with a ruby taking it's place in the middle. The setting sun managing to catch glimpses of it causing it to shine further. "I found this in your trousers, the ones that you wore two weeks before. Tell me boy, where did you get this from.
Ruben began to sweat out of nervousness, -Shit, that's Urbosa's bracelet. Why would I be as idiotic as to leave it there. What shall I say?- Ruben's heart began to beat faster, he knew that if he were to deny the claims that he would only get further in trouble. "Lost, property." Were the only words that he could manage to blurt out.
"Don't lie to me boy! We both know that only those from Gerudo would wear accessories as flashy as these." Ruben gulped, showing his nervousness once again. "The Gerudo are also very materialistic so it's highly unlikely that they would drop items as expensive as these."
The man took two swift steps towards the boy, who was afrain if having his cover blown.
"Which means..." Ruben tryed not maintain his confidence, that being hard now that their faces were mearly inches apart. "...that you must of stolen this." Ruben was still stiff and unable to move. "I am highly disappointed in you, as we both know that this is against our stable policy, this is theft Ruben!" The man looked at Ruben in disbelief.
"If you weren't my son, I would have you kicked out of this stable in an instant. Sadly, that is not the case." Ruben looked down at the floor, ashamed. He knew that he had done nothing wrong but was too afraid to deny the accusations as it may unvail a deeper truth that would be much harder to accept.
"Father I-"
"You call me sir." Cut off Ruben's father. "Have respect for me while you still can." Rubens father tossed the ruby bracelet toward Ruben, who had made a frantic attempt to catch it.
"It's not my fault, sir it's not my fault!" Ruben began to get frustrated with his father, he had always hated being wrongly accused especially when the one accusing him was his father.
"Don't take that tone with me, boy!" Ruben cowered slightly at his father's raised voice before falling to his knees clutching Urbosa's bracelet as though it would provide protection. "I want you to return this it's owner by the time night comes tomorrow and be back by the time dawn strikes the day after, understood."
"Fath- sir"
"Understood" The man said in a more threating tone.
"Understood, sir." As Ruben accepted his father's terms he became less tense l, knowing that he would no longer het shouted at.
"Get up boy, I will have no son of mine be both a theif and a coward." Ruben slowly arose to his feet, still looking down at the floor and clutching the bracelet with both hands like a child that would never want to paet with its favorite toy.
"Also, remember that, you are not come contact with any monster, shape or form, and you are not to use the weapons of the common folk to defend yourself with. Although I don't expect that you will have to." Ruben nodded his head in responce.
"Now go pack for your journey, I suggest you take a rather large pack ad I heard that travelling in the desert is quite tiring." Ruben faced his father ,looking rather tired, but otherwise okay.
"Yes sir." he responded , Ruben decided to obey as to not prolong the conversation any further, he walked to ward his room to ready for the journey.
"Our supply cart from Gerudo town should be arriving soon, they shall be the one to take you there." Ruben nodded at his father's remark very slowly before opening the door with the slightest bit of force that he had "It seems that I will be looking through your pockets more often, boy." and then closed it behind him.
