It was time for me to chime in.

And I guess I could just go on with the mood and act natural, without troubling myself in any sort.

Had I been in danger, Old would've interfered by now, just as per the plan.

"Hah hah hah hah hah!"

My feet landed lightly on the ground.

"Why don't we simply … relax?"

"Prin--Young girl...!"

Uh?

What was with that way of calling me, Calming?

"Let--Let me handle this, okay?"

He was panicking. His facial expression cried, 'Sorry princess!'

Well, I can get it. He isn't calling me princess and was sorry for it, right? Guess a princess isn't just anyone, he has his reasons for acting that way.

I had to disagree with him nevertheless, "No, you let me handle this."

Bringing one shoulder before the other, I calmly marched my way in their direction, following Calming's steps.

Breathing in and out, I felt good.

The outside was fresh.

I'd been waiting patiently in that dumb, destroyed chariot for so long, really.

No such thing as walking a little bit to stretch and warm up one's body.

And my moving legs had brought me next to Calming.

Slightly tapping his shoulder with a hand, I indicated to him I'd be handling this from now on.

Hesitantly, he nodded.

The smell here, it was rather nasty.

The same smell I got to smell before any of all this.

Nasty and familiar, yes.

The smell of blood.

Upon sniffing around in the air, my keen nose could only faintly pick it.

Only faintly, though.

Coming from far away within the woods, gusts of winds would be sweeping the nasty odor away, from time to time, before going further away in the opposite distance.

Earth lying down below our feet as it was supporting us. We were all standing on the dirty dirt path.

Dirty of both dirt and dirty things.

Dirt was dirt. That was one thing.

Corpses were corpses. These were other things. And they'd be the main components of the dirty things out here.

Orcs were standing in front of us.

Well, let's just go relaxed.

"Hah hah hah hah!" I laughed with them--Even though, well, no, I was laughing alone.

Just tryna lift away the tense atmosphere here.

"I'm relaxed. I'm relaxed … I'm relaxed. Why aren't you guys relaxed too, huh?"

"Relaxed…" Smart came to smile a little bit too, "As in, totally relaxed about your horses being dead, kid?"

My eyes squinted as I looked in his direction, gauging him up.

He's strong, but not that strong.

I can take him out if I want.

My eyes went back and looked at Calming now.

For some reason, his throat only gulped and avoided my eyes, his breathing quickened.

Surely, he didn't want me to make a problem out of this.

Let's say I fight them, then what? It'll fall in Calming's hands.

"Heh, well yeah," glancing back at him, I chuckled with a faint smile, "Horses, no horses, what's that even matter?"

Let's just ignore them and go on with our quest.

"Yeah, what's that even matter, right, kid?"

"Yeah, I mean … yeah, right."

"Heh," Smart chuckled.

And that was settled.

He then sighed and chuckled more.

Soon, he turned and spoke to his friends back again.

Using their own tongue before speaking to them, "That strong boy over there, he, uh, is super strong, and I can testify to it!"

I could only try to guess what he'd said, though.

He didn't use the humans' tongue or the elves'.

Sorry, I don't speak their tongue either, duh.

But well, no need to worry.

It must've been what he'd said, because after him, all at once, all the boys, they all went laughing together, sort of agreeing with him in their own way.

And then, there was just a blank on our side. We weren't much on the elves' side, after all.

On the orcs' side, though, they continued laughing about me being strong for a few seconds.

Laughing meant agreeing, right?

I mean, when they laugh, they're happy.

When they're happy, they're, erm, truthful, probably?

What, now? You don't think that's what they said? You're more inclined to think they're making fools out of us right now?

Well, I bet you do.

I was about to go back behind and just … go away?

But, ahem. Calming wouldn't believe it too, I think.

Even though that's the truth and only truth.

Calming didn't know the truth of what they'd said.

"Wh--What are you orcs laughing for, orcs?!"

And Calming decided on going back to arguing with them, ugh.

Well, let him just do that.

In the meantime, "Hey, Angry, what's up?" he was still in the carriage.

Did he think it was still usable? "You still wanna use that carriage, heh," I grinned at him, "We'll be needing some new horses. You think you can handle the job of two horses all by yourself?"

Uh…

What was wrong?

"Do I have something on my face?

"Why you staring at me like this for…? And, erm, what are you stepping back for … you trying to run off to somewhere…?"

"I'm so … sorry…"

"Hey, but no, seriously, you're acting weird, right now … freaking me out, y'know, Angry."

"You … I'm sorry…"

"What's that? I'm not quite hearing you well."

"You're not the princess … I'm so--" it was only getting weirder and weirder, huh.

What was up with that elf?

I tried to take a step in his direction, that is to say towards the inside of the carriage, but his body instantly twitched.

"You speak the human's tongue … don't you…?"

Oh, boy.

Wait up.

What is he saying?

'You're not the princess,' holy shit?!

Did I make a mistake again?

The same mistake???

Crap.

My brows were raised and arched.

What'd I do…!

I was panicking.

I must not get nervous … I still got this, me…!

"Don't just--I'm your princess, y'know!," I went waving my arms around, beads of sweat forming on my forehead, "That's--I'm offended, y'know!"

And funnily enough, I'd gotten so used and attached to that status of princess I'd been so reluctant to use before.

"All of it makes sense, now…"

"No, no, no! Whatever you understand is a misunderstanding, Angry, I'm sure, right??"

Must've been sweating like mad right now...

I took another step forward, but hey, it's good. Angry's fearful complexion softened.

His feet also dragged him forward, facing me.

Without a word, he silently climbed down the stairs and … ah?

"I present you my apologies, O Noble Spirit," and just like that, with these words, he bowed his whole upper body to me in apology.

What the freak?

No, no, no…!

I'm still your princess … right…?!

Noble Spirit?

I'm even more freaked out now, heh…

A dry chuckle escaped my mouth.

Damn.

Not the time to be freaked out, though.

I'm exposed.

I've been found out.

Ah…

Hopefully, Calming didn't catch any of that.

Glancing over to where he was--I sighed.

And would you look over to this side, two kids, really.

"What did you say again?!" Calming stomped his foot fiercely on the ground, just like a goat or some similar angry animal, letting fly off some dust with the choc.

Calming was being angry and childish.

"You and your fellas ain't no fighters is all there's to it," and Smart didn't stop from playing with him, "You wanna run off the battlefield? You do that after the war, dumbasses."

Both Smart and Calming.

"You…!"

"As of right now, all you gotta do is go back to your crappy village and stay safe, far from us, the fighters."

Well, and on whom should I blame this…?

Calming, seriously.

Doing all this drama over some poor, malnourished horses.

Why was he acting so childish all of a sudden?

Don't tell me he understood about me too … and that was just his way of showing he'd been as panicking as myself…?!

No!

I refuse to believe that.

Maybe the ever calm and unperturbed Calming had some weaknesses of his own.

And Smart following him because ... I don't know, maybe the boy found that funny, eh?

Argh.

That wasn't my only concern right now, anyway.

So, so, so.

On one side, there was this still ongoing circus. When would they actually stop, at this point?

They're probably going in on that for a long time if we leave them together, huh.

On the other side now, there was Angry, still bowing his upper body to me, mumbling about words of apology and whatnot.

Knowing him he must've been real real afraid of me now that he knew.

An exasperated sigh escaped my lips.

Well, I was just too exasperated myself to keep the exasperated sigh in.

Complications, right?

That's what Calming had called them.

Complications.

I won't say it enough times, no.

'Cause, yeah, right now, it's complicated.

I mean, all of them, be it the childish duo of Calming and Smart; Angry, that man wasn't still done bowing his head, must've been scared shitless since he confused me for one noble spirit shit of some kind; Smart's party of dumb orcs that, despite being called out by their leader not too long ago, who'd told them to stay alert and get ready, they all were laughing with each other, taking it easy, not watching out for their back at all, and living it up while they had work to do!

If that isn't 'complications,' then what is, huh?

Staying alert and watching their back was one thing.

They hadn't done that, well, that much was understandable … hardly, but yeah, why not.

Getting ready to go, though, they had to do that much at least, right?

And I mean, duh.

Are there that many dumb people in the outside world, now?

My gosh.

If that's the case, woah, I pity the world.

I mean, staying alert was a top priority thing to do, wasn't it?

It was necessary, so, yeah, maybe … I'm only saying that, maybe, they should've done that much.

'Cause, indeed, it'd prove useful.

Why am I saying this, however, now? I mean, I'm talking about complications, right?

"All of you, shut up!"

I had to speak up. It was urgent.

Wasn't it loud enough?

"All of you people, shut up!

"Concentrate!

"Be prepared!"

My voice covered the whole area.

Everyone turned to me.

"What's your kid want, the elf?"

"Prin--Daughter, what is it?"

"We're being attacked," I waved around us, "Do you even pay attention to your surroundings?!"

Dare they call themselves fighters, now??

Nobody had time to react.

Obviously, they heard my warning too, huh.

Suddenly, one of the surrounding bushes cried out!

"Oaaaaarrrrrrhhhhh!!!!"

No, it wasn't a bush.

A human.

"Squadron A and C, rush ahead!!!"

A tall and large human got out from behind a thick tree, a fierce and hardened look on his face, "Kill both the orcs and the elves, we make no distinctions anymore!!!"

Tension rose up.

They were coming, rushing towards us, as starving beasts would be rushing towards their well-presented meaty prey.

Dozens of them if not more.

My arms' hair went up, a smile popped up on my face.

I was standing right next to Calming.

Two daggers and a regular sword were resting on his belt.

Snatching one of his daggers away, "Well, since we have to fight, hehehe."
