Before F.R.O.N.D.E.R

Return From The Dead (Part 2)

I didn't find any transport for me to move but if there was a horse here, I could not have the strength to mount it because I was very fatigued. I walked outside of Veta town and headed into the forest, it would be a very long time for me until I could get back to the Capital city.

Though I got used to walking with my fatigued and painful body but my hungry and thirsty kept chasing me, I had to sit in the trees after a long walk and then kept going to the Capital.

After hours of walking barefoot non-stop through the dawn and the morning, I finally got back to the Capital city, this time was about to get noon, very late for the ceremony now. The Warsaw Royal Guards saw me get inside the border gate but they didn't stop me, maybe the people from all social statuses would have a chance to see the King on a national day so I walked inside easily.

I think the people here didn't know about their King's disappearance yet, I must return fast to the Palace to operate the national day ceremony or someone would steal my Throne. I walked around the place to find a waterfall and I found one which was placed near me a few steps so I pressed my face into the water of the waterfall.

"Ahhh! Haaahhh! Haaahh!" - I drank the water inside of the waterfall until my belly had been full of water

After drinking water, I cleaned my hands by using the waterfall and then kept going forward to the Palace. Some dense people were standing on the sidewalks to wait for the King with his guards to march on the road, they were waiting for me.

The King would march with his guards on the streets in the morning but now the national day ceremony had been delayed because of my disappearance, I must return fast. But my body had no energy to keep going or something, I was very hungry and was trying to keep going...maybe stopping by somewhere to rest would be a good idea.

I walked on the streets to find a good place for me to sit and rest, while going on the streets, I saw many buildings around me hanging the Warsaw national flags. The Warsaw national flag had features with an entire red background with a yellow round shield and a yellow sword marked in the middle of the flag.

I walked everywhere that I think I could find a good corner to sit and then I saw an alley's entrance, it seemed clear to me so I slowly sat there to rest. My body was very fatigued because it had no food, my feet were burning after a long time of walking, the way back to the Palace was still not far, I must try hard.

Now I remembered about my wound, not just my belly but my entire upper body, from the shoulder to my chest had some bruises because of being beaten and kicked. My belly's wound would be the most dangerous here, the other wounds only bruises, this one had stopped bleeding, though it had been healed a bit but I was scared I would get infected.

I sat in the alley's entrance for a few seconds, I must be fast, maybe I could stop resting now so I slowly got up...wait, why I could not stand?

I must try it again, I pressed my hands on the ground and then pulled myself up again while using my feet to lift me but I could not stand, my body felt heavy and had no energy. I was trying to get up but I could not, I sat hopelessly and then I saw two figures coming across me, those were a little girl and an adult woman who were walking together as if they were mother and daughter.

The adult woman was white, she had brown long wavy haired, brown eyes and seemed...very hot and beautiful at her age, maybe 30, she was wearing a red uniform with a Warsaw red beret. Wait...the woman I just had seen was a guild girl from the Adventurer's Guild? But why did she wear this uniform? No one would go to work today.

About the little girl that seemed to be the woman's daughter, she was also white, had a long brown ponytail hair and brown eyes, the little girl wore a red uniform, which was my little sister's school uniform. This mother and daughter seemed very odd in those clothes, they may not be the people here, the mom and the daughter saw me while walking across the alley so they crouched down and stepped toward me.
