Chapter 6: Negotiations.
Though non of the orcs were smart enough to notice her plight.
Lucian didn't take long to understand why she was still hesitating even when all the evidence was right before her eyes.
" Hahaha, are you speechless to the point that you don't dare to speak before me anymore?" Lucian sneered. Trying his best to play the part of an arrogant son of a powerful noble.
" If you offer your body to me and warm my bed tonight, I might just be willing to let your pitiful tribe live!" He added.
" You dare?!" Bulga suddenly roared, her booming voice causing most of the orcs to tremble, even Lucian felt as if his ear drums would've burst if she shouted a little longer.
" How dare you look down on our tribe! Even if you're the lord of the North's offspring, I'll show you that our orc tribe are courageous warriors without fear." Like Lucian expected, Bulga took the opportunity Without so much as a thought.
" Lock him up! I want him to be left in confinement for 2 days! After that, throw him out into the forest with those viscous beasts!"
" Yes Chief!" The female orcs who had captured Lucian answered unanimously.
' Great... Problem solved.' Lucian sighed in relief. He found himself hoisted onto the shoulder of a female orc again.
' Huh?' At the same time, Lucian saw a golden feather emerge out of thin air before flying into his mouth and vanishing. Blessings were unique and only the intended receiver could see them.
' Another blessing?' Why'd I get another one so soon? Aren't these things supposed to be rare or something?' he wondered.
' No, what am I saying? I should be happy I got 3 so quickly. I've already figured out the first one has something to do with bonds, the second is still unknown but this third one should be related to my mouth.'
' Now that I'm sure they won't have any thoughts against me, I need to come up with a way to get out of this forest safely...'
' They've already guaranteed my release, but treading through Celia forest is far too dangerous with my current capabilities.'
The female orcs carried him before taking him to a cave right behind the orc village and dropping him in their, tied his hands and legs, then one female orcs was assigned to stand guard.
' In other to survive in this forest I'm going to need some extra muscle, it's worth a long shot but I'll try convincing one of them to leave the village with me.' Lucian stared at the female orc standing guard at the mouth of the cave.
She stood tall at 2.2 meters, her natural green skin smooth and vibrant, a shade that caught the light like polished stone. Unlike the typical orcish build, her figure leaned away from sheer bulk, instead her muscles were sleek and defined beneath her skin, rather than bulging with brute force.
Her waist curved in wide lines, drawing inward before flaring into firm, powerful hips. Chiseled abs were visible in-between her beast skinned tube top and beast skinned skirt. Moving in an out, subtly with each breath, leading the gaze upward to her full, perfectly rounded breasts, generous in size,bearing similarities to an F cup.
Her tusks were smaller than most of her kind, peeking gently from beneath full, dark lips, adding a touch of softness to her warrior like appearance as she effortlessly propped her axe on one shoulder.
Wild brown hair cascaded down her back in thick, tousled waves, untamed and rich in texture, brushing along the edges of her lower back.
Her eyes, golden and intense, held a steady gleam beneath thick lashes. Dark tattoos wove across her skin in flowing patterns, accentuating the shape of her arms, her legs, her sides.
' She looks pretty strong. Even if my hands weren't bound I don't think I could take her on at all after all, In the story, Lucian Von Nix though the son of the lord of the north, was a character without the ability to use magic in the slightest. The novel mentioned him making a name for himself with aura, aiming for the path of a knight, till he got to the academy, but aura's a bit tricky for the current me.'
' His body might be mine now but I still don't hold any memories belonging to him.'
' Not to mention that reading about aura in this book and actually utilizing it afterwards are two completely different things. If only Myeong wasn't such a sloppy writer.' He let out a helpless sigh.
' That settles it, I definitely can't make it out of here without extra help. If I can get one of them to help me, I should be able to leave Celia forest but after that...' He let out another helpless sigh when he recalled that he was still supposed to be an outcast to the non demon alliance, which entailed the human, dwarven, beast men and elven race.
' Even if I leave this forest I can't go back.' He let out another helpless sigh, right now the odds really were stacked up against him.
' I might be forced to travel further North to another continent...' Lucian considered the idea for a moment but shook his head the next.
' No, that would be more dangerous since I'd have to cross not just Celia forest but the other 3 demonic zones. '
' Besides, even if I do leave the continent, that won't get me back home. If I want to leave this world then I have to create a different ending for this story... Knowing Myeong and her troublesome anger she won't let me go without coming up with an ending she deems better.'
' Killing the main character is not an option and killing the demon king is near impossible... Unless–'
' Ha! I got it! I think i know how to get out of this shitty world.' Lucian's eyes gleamed like daggers beneath the moonlight.
" Hey!" Lucian called out to the female orc guarding the cave.
The female orc only turned her head to glance at him, her brows raised as if asking what did he want.
