Chapter 29: Traitor
Understanding the leader's words, they all said,
..."we will definitely keep our promise."
"We will definitely help him."
"We have to help him."
One woman among them raised her hand and asked the leader, "but leader how will you decide the bride?We have so many girls, but if you choose someone, will that man be ready to marry her?"
Agreeing with that woman, another woman said,
"Yes leader you will also have to ensure that the man does not cause any harm to our daughter."
Another woman said.
"Leader, I have a suggestion. I think we should have a competition. It should be between that guy and our girls. Because if that man could not defeat our girls then how will he protect them in the future and that too in another state."
Another woman accepted her words and said, "Leader, you cannot say no to this. He must be able to protect our girls."
They never once asked his name, not even his status or for that matter even financial support the tribe's people believed in strength more than anything and that's what mattered the most.
Braska looked at everyone and agreed to their words and said, "there will be a competition between all of them. But first there will be a competition between the girls. After that the boy i.e. the man will be called and if the man can defeat our winning girl then he will marry our girl. This does not mean we will not give him any choice. He will get a chance to choose if he defeats our winning girl. But his defeat will not mean that we will go back on our promise. Even then we will get him married to any girl of our choice but that girl will be of our choice not his"
Everyone was happy after listening to the leader.
Hyde was also thinking about things in his mind, 'First of all, what is the name of that person? He is calling him that man all this time and none of these people cared to ask for his name, how foolish! I will have to first get information about that person and I also need to find out whether this person only knows about the conspirator or does he know anything about the person who helped him in doing this? '
Hyde was about to ask the man's name, but before he could say anything, the leader continued, " My friends, today I am going to share a shocking thing with you all might be thinking that our vice leader's health has deteriorated suddenly , But that's not the case. Someone has deliberately made her ill so that they can break us all and whoever has helped in the execution of this dirty act is one among us. Right now I don't know who he is but that person surely knows who he is and once we get our daughter married to that boy then he will tell us himself and that is why I want all of you to take this marriage seriously."
Hearing this, Hyde was shocked to the core. He did not know what to do. After thinking for a while, he decided that he could no longer leave this man alive. He would have to kill him so that he could survive.
After listening to Braska everyone else also understood the seriousness of the situation and were willing to help with anything.
It was night and there was darkness all around, The people of the desert went into their respective rooms. Some people were really confused that who could have done this to them and some people started thinking that now we have to take this marriage very seriously. But there was a man who was also sharpening his sword so that he could kill a man, that person was none other than Hyde.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Hyde got very close to foreigner's room and looked around and when he was sure that no one was looking at him, he entered the room and when he entered the room, he saw a man lying comfortably on the bed completely covered in a thich blanket, seeing this a thought came to Hyde's mind. 'How comfortably is this man slepping while doing his best in ruining my life?'
You can blame yourself for all this friend because you are the only reason behind all this, please forgive me that I could not kill you in agony because if someone else sees me with you, they might doubt me and I can never let that happen. Next time pray to your God that you don't come in the way of a person like me so now go to sleep forever.
After finishing his words, Hyde attacked the man with his sword. Despite being stabbed four times, nothing just came out of the man's mouth, not even a scream,
Seeing this, Hyde became suspicious and immediately pulled back his sword and started looking for blood stains on the sword. But to his surprise, there was not a single spot of blood on the sword.
Hyde was looking at his sword. Someone voiced out his thoughts, "What are you looking at, is there no blood?"
