ELECTUS

Said Macek. The King of Wide River Kingdom.

"I want 10 Gold Coins per kilogram! I think I said it very clear!"

Pointed out Lia with a dead serious look on her face.

"Why would I pay you 10 Gold Coins per kilogram when i pay everyone else 1 per 2 kg? It"s outrageous!"

Yelled King Macek, banging his fist on the arm support of the throne!

"What the rest bring you are mostly Barramundi and rarely underaged Striped Marlin. We are talking about a Full Grown Black Marlin here. No one beached such a catch before.

You can sell it for triple the amount if not more!"

Apart from her explosive strength, Lia is very good at manipulating. She bargained for 2 years straight now in the market, she has some new abilities.

"Or I can take it from you and have the Guards throw you out and sell it for four times the price!"

Threatened the King. The Kingdom of Wide River is built out of thievery and propaganda. Without the profit that the port they conquered offered, This Kingdom wouldn"t even exist.

The Kingdom of 200 houses would be nothing but a field.

"You can do that and earn a small fortune, or you can pay for what I require and not lose half of your income you make from Selling fish.

I can get Gold wherever I go, but you won"t ever get anyone who can beach a 850kg Black Marlin without dying."

Said Lia with jim hiding behind her. But the other two men weren"t in sight. As if they abandoned the catch.

"5 Gold Coins per Kilogram and i buy the entire fis.h.!.+"

Said the King in a sudden Calmer tone hoping to still get something out of this.

"15 Gold Coins per Kilogram or i"ll throw the fish back in the ocean."

"What! Outrageous!"

"Miss Lia what are you doing. 3000 Gold Coins is a great amount!"

"Silence Jim!"

"Take it or leave it. I have Gold Coins to spare. I don"t give a d.a.m.n if this fish rots!"

"I appreciate your courage miss...Lia. How about we settle for your original request?"

Hoped the King to settle a deal. Such hard to catch meat is something the royalty would pay a Hundred Gold Coins per Kilogram. He can make a small fortune from one fis.h.!.+

"Approvable. I want the Gold by tomorrow. If I don"t get it, i can damage your budget big time and there is nothing according to ill.u.s.tratian law, you can do about it."

Said Lia as she made her way out of the King"s throne room. Yes she was in his throne room.

No fisherman ever had the chance to bargain with a King! They usually accepted the price to avoid a beheading but considering the extremely hard to land Catch Lia managed to beach with the rest of the 3, the King has to tolerate a lot.

But as Lia was about to exit thinking this whole situation is behind her, finally able to rest, 15 Guards rushed into the Throne room and one yelled

"Halt Witch! You are under arrest for Demonic interaction according to ill.u.s.tratian law."

"Me? A Witch? Bulls.h.i.+t! Who lied to you about that?"

"We have two eye witnesses. They saw you doing Magic in the Ocean! If you resist arrest, you will be slaughtered immediately!"

"b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! I should of tossed them on the ocean when i had the chance!"

"Well well well. Now that fish is mine.

Guards! Tie her up. We have an execution to handle tomorrow."

Said the King while throwing an evil laugh.

"Surrender? I don"t think so!"

"So be it!"

Said one Guard and the other followed

"ATTACK!"

For Lia it was better to fight until death reaches her at this point. Instead of surrendering.

Getting tied up will eventually lead to being burned to death. That"s what they do to all Witches.

But what"s possibly worse, she will be tied up today and burned tomorrow. Meaning she will be all night Guarded by l.u.s.t Hungry men.

She heard stories of Witches being raped by tens of Guards before getting burned alive. And the Kings didn"t punish any Guard about it. Even though Lia has a tomboy style, 2 years of Spearfis.h.i.+ng has toned her body well. Giving her a gorgeous feminine form with some maleish attributes, and her black hair tied into a tail behind her head, reaching near the end of her spine gave her more beauty. Above all that, she has blue eyes. So she would sure attract any man. But these Guards would **** anyone. Slim or obesse, they have no boundaries.

So fight to the death it is!

As the bundle of Guards Charged towards Lia, she raised her fists high and waited to beat the c.r.a.p out of them. She didn"t seem dangerous at all in their eyes though. Being 5.4 foot tall and a Woman, she didn"t show threat.

Which was a stupid move on their side. They let their "Guard Down"!

As they approached, 2 of them were struck down by Lia as she fisted their faces and threw them 6 feet across the air and 4 more feet tumbling over the floor.

Using the Swords dropped, Jim grabbed the two Swords, tossed one to Lia and started putting up a fight.

It Surprised Lia big time. She expected him to flee from the scene!

"Do we have a plan Miss Lia?"

"Yes. Fight!"
