Then suddenly he sensed a carriage coming towards him.
It looked pretty luxurious to him; just by seeing it, one could tell that it was just for show.
It was surrounded by guards that looked of higher rank compared to the soldiers Shade had seen up to now.
So the person inside it should also be of higher standing.
He moved closer and slipped upon the tires to move upwards upon the carriage.
The carriage was an open-roof one with a driver in front and two people sitting, seeing their surroundings.
One was a young male and the other was a young female.
He quietly slipped onto the seat next to the girl and put his ear to listen to the conversation.
"What do you think Father sent us here for?" the boy spoke, full of confidence.
"I don't know. It's probably to motivate the soldiers due to the death that had occurred in the city," she spoke calmly, as if nothing fazed her.
'Does the soldier guy matter that much, or are all elves like this, that a single death is important to them?' he thought, trying to calculate the reason.
While thinking, he shaped a mask on the face of the soldier's shadow while being a shadow.
Somehow, fortunately, he succeeded.
Plan number 3: Take the girl hostage and get out.
He didn't choose the girl because of any dirty thoughts or something.
According to human psychology, people are ready to sacrifice more for girls than boys.
He was going to try to do the same on elves.
Then, forcing the shadow outward, he sat next to the girl, turning one of his arms into a blade.
In his view the boy was beautiful.
Yes not handsome but beautiful.
So much beautiful that even actresses of his world would be jealous.
As for the girl next to him she was even more beautiful than the boy.
So beautiful that the people of his world would die for just to take a glance including all genders.
As for shade it didn't affect him much since he was just scared by a women whose beauty surpassed reality itself.
But to them he looked like a demon with a whole black body while his face covered by a black mask, and a black blade on the girl's neck.
Every soldier, every guard, and even the boy and the girl were in a shocked state.
Then everyone was ready for combat except the girl, who slowly raised her hands.
The boy asked in an angry voice, "Who are you? Do you even know on whom you are pointing the blade?"
An indifferent voice came from inside the mask: "Lower your weapons."
No one did.
' Bastards, at least let me try to act cool, you fuckers,' he thought.
Then he moved the blade closer to the girl's neck, and everyone understood his meaning.
Then, with a calm voice, the girl spoke: "Lower your weapons."
Now everyone did it.
'Damn bastards, I will file a complaint on the basis of gender discrimination,' he thought.
"Open the door and walk forward," he said, still in his indifferent voice.
She didn't do it.
'Damn bitch, not even you? Am I not that scary enough?' he thought.
Then he moved the blade even closer this time, with a little force to show off.
But suddenly, a drop of blood flowed out.
Everyone was shocked.
Even Shade was shocked at his blade's sharpness, but none of it was shown outwards.
It seems the mistake had worked, as the girl slowly opened the door and walked forward.
Shade gestured her towards the gate he had arrived with his face while having the mask.
She obeyed without hesitation.
After coming closer to the gate, Shade spoke: "Open this thing."
A voice from back came: "Open the portal."
As it was, the so-called portal started to open.
Then, with a jump, he disappeared inside the portal.

After shade jumped into the portal the girl fell on her knees.
The boy came rushing towards her in a panic and started to check for any injuries.
"Are you okay" the boy asked in a hurried voice.
"Yeah I am fine" girl replied her voice still shaking.
The boy started giving orders to the soldier's
"What are you waiting for quickly go after him before he escapes"
No one disobeyed and started going inside the portal to catch the culprit.
The boy slowly guided the girl to the carriage and moved towards the building in the side of the portal.
After entering he grabbed a crystal and started muttering something.
Then the crystal started glowing and then a voice came from inside the crystal.
"Your highness,may this humble servent know the reason for the sudden contact"
The came out calm like the ocean.
"Cut the formalities zerg we were attacked by an unknown target and Alicia was taken hostage report this to father immediately "
The boy said with an urgent voice.
"I am on way highness has the target escaped or still there."the man named zerg said.
"He has escaped and i have sent guards after him" the boy said slowly losing his patience.
"Was Lady Alicia harmed in any way or what race was he for further search", the voice came from the crystal.
"Yes, Alicia was harmed but it's not serious now and he was wearing a mask so we can't tell much about him, could you please just give the crystal to father",The boy said like a volcano about to irrupt.
"Please calm down my liege, I am on my way , please calm down", the voice said understanding the urgency of the situation.
With that he threw the crstal on the ground breaking it into several pieces.
Then a soldier came running from the outside and said
"Sir we've captured the scene in the capture crystal would you like us to send it to the royal court "
"Store it in a safe place and don't let anyone see this no matter what and keep the coordinates of where the portal was and don't change it until the reinforcements from the palace arrive." He said in a face that was trying to calm his angry face.
"And also create a picture of his face
So, if he managed to escape we can issue a news to different realms to make him a wanted man." The prince said in authoritative manner now fully calming down.
