Ice Queen in Another World V1 [Completed]

[12] Death's Glare

Baron Cliff walked through the dirt road path.

The canopy of trees shrouded his left and right side with glimmers of sun sapping through the wide leaves above. If he squinted through the rays of light, he could see a clear blue sky.

He huffed as he stared back onto the road, "Dammit all and damn them too!"

Baron Cliff had just had a run in with the guards of Aclair, just a bit south of his current position. His iron chest plate was a bit charred from fire magic and his shin guards had received a dent from the sneak attack of a sword.

They had chased him even into the forest, unwilling to let the bounty on his head go. Although, he had the last laugh as his blade passed through the neck of both guards. Trying to catch Baron the Brute with merely two knights was a pipe dream.

He revealed a hearty, loathing laugh from his lips.

Still, he was quite angry at the thought of having to spare some change to repair his equipment. Even the sword sheathed at his left hip had been slightly charred. This was one of the reasons he hated fire mages above all, they may die, but they would still cost you when they did.

Thankfully, the area around here held little beasts and what little it held were the lowest of tiers. The chances of entering another battle was slim.

He shook off the heaviness of his body, rubbing and shaking his ruddy head of brunette hair, and continued to walk.

It wasn't long before a strange sight caught him and forced him to stop in his tracks.

Two girls walked unhurriedly towards him. Both dressed in the oddest of attire he had ever seen in his life, one even having two jagged holes in her clothing. However, they were both...beauties.

The one at the front had a head of luscious, almost daring, black hair that waved behind her and crimson eyes. While the one at the back held golden-blonde hair that almost touched the ground and the same colored eyes as the other—however, only her left eye was visible as half her face was covered by a white mask.

'Are they related? Why is she wearing a broken mask of all things?' He pondered silently, his heart already beginning to beat in excitement.

Noticing him at almost the same time, they both stopped.

"Excuse me?" The one in front called out.

Baron calmed his excitement for the moment.

"Yes?" He asked.

"Can you point us to the nearest town or city? We have gotten a bit lost."

Were they travelers? He didn't know and felt little motivation to ask nor care about the backstory of the two.

"A city or town around here? That would be Aclair, just continue to follow this road and you will soon reach it. Be careful not to venture into the forest, although the beasts within might be low tiered, they still aren't the types two young girls can handle."

His eyes seized up the full figures of the two as he answered the girl's question and began to ponder just how much they could fetch. They both looked stunning, he could tell that had a mask covering half her face would be stunning when naked in full glory. With their beauty and young bodies, he was sure a noble or maybe even a merchant or two would be more than willing to pay two gold for each. Even more so, their features were unique and more than rare, he was certain that asking for three or four gold coins wouldn't be out of the picture either.

"Mhmm, thank you for your help, we will try our best to be careful," The leading one said, nodding once, her voice soft but dry.

Baron wondered, should he take them in as pure virgins or have a taste himself before? His heart wavered, but he decided to sort the thought out later and first capture them.
