For a heartbeat, there was silence.
The leader of the bandits blinked. His men blinked. The guards blinked. Even the merchants hidden in the carriage blinked.
"…What?" One of the guards muttered, thinking he must have misheard her.
The leader of the bandits stared at her for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"Pfft, HAAHAHAHA! What the hell did you just say? Did you hit your head on the way here, little girl?"
One of his men snorted. "Boss, she's completely lost it!"
Even the merchants inside, who were terrified moments ago, couldn't help but think the girl was insane. She was just a child...and yet she was threatening to kill all of them?
The guards began shouting again.
"Get out of here!" One called, waving his arm frantically.
"This isn't a game, girl!" Another yelled. "You're going to get yourself killed if you stay, RUN!"
The bandit leader leaned forward on his saddle, sneering.
"You really are cute, but stupid, sweetheart. You're lucky I'm in a good mood so—"
