Chapter 4: A Trip to the East Part 3
"You cause us a lot of trouble I hope you know that," the old man said. Mayu went and spit at him.
"Well I would rather die than to know that my family is going to be slave"
"We weren't going to make you slave we were going to give you to the king," he said.
"That make it all the better," she said.
"The king is looking for a new wife but he wants someone who different from the usual women you find in Japan"
"Sorry to break it to you but I'm already married," she said.
"That doesn't matter now we have to watch you to make sure that don't escape," he said. They put her down stairs and she was locked in a cage like an animal.
"May the God protect those who I can't protect," she said. "And may he have mercy on your soul." The old man looks at her before leaving.
"Just like you we have those who we wish to protect," the old man left her alone in the dark.
Meanwhile Back On the Boat
Amir had Maysa by her shoulders.
"Why did you do it? Why?" he yelled.
"Because you wouldn't," she said Amir was shock. "She wanted us safe Amir that why she made us go in first"
"B… But she…"
"If I didn't cut the rope the Hittite Empire would fall, the Queen, the Crown Prince and the rest us would just disappeared in a different land, did you really want to be responsible for that," she said.
"You really have a big mouth you know that," he said.
"More like a whole bunch of knowledge"
"Sit down we'll go back to land and we might just meet Zannanza or Kail on the way back," Yuri said. Amir sat back down and started to row the boat along with Deiru.
The Next Day Back With Mayu
She was asleep when she heard a noise, immediately she sat up and saw a couple of men bringing down some wild animal. It was sleeping so none of them was in any danger. They put the cage right next to hers.
"A lion…. A very nice pet for King Hiroshi or a very good blanket," they said before leaving. She went and saw that parts of the animal were bruise. When she tried to reach out to it, it growl at her.
"Don't worry I'm trap in a cage as well maybe we can help each other but I need to touch you can just come a little closer," the lion hesitated but then puts their head right under her hand. Electric shocks went through her finger and throughout the lion's body. It didn't move until it was completely healed, and starts to stretch. Mayu smiles, "What a good boy you are, Do you like the name Ren I believe that it suits you well now will you help me?"
Later when one of the Guards came in to give Ren some food it didn't notice that he was fully awake. The Guard steps into the cage and was about to grab Ren's mane but Ren quickly got up and forces him to the floor of the cage.
"Don't scream," Mayu said. "We don't want anyone else coming into the room now do we," the Guard look at her in anger and in fear.
"What do you want?
"Be a good boy and toss the cage keys over here?" he did as he was told; Mayu quickly went and got out of the cage and soon was standing next to Ren. "Good now don't make a sound or you'll find yourself at the bottom of this big boys stomach and trust me if you make noise when we leave he'll be sure to come back for you." Mayu and Ren go and climb up the stairs and they were on the deck walking towards one of the life boats when she heard.
"And what do you suppose you're doing? She turns around and saw the old man with a couple of men behind her.
