The Forgotten Princess

e center. ” Leon said.

Jack brought the young lad with him and Leon accompanied me.

When we were face to face I took my hood off to reveal my face.
The two men in front of us were looking at me in awe.

”James she’s really beautiful. ” I heard the young lad whisper to Jack.

”Shh. ” Jack whispered to him.

”I am Alicia and this here is Leon. ” I gestured.

”I am Jack and this here is Brad. ” Jack introduced.

”Then let us begin our negotiations. ” I started.
”I know that these people are in a dire situation for them to engage in thievery.
But as I can see you young people here are not farmers. ”

”You have good perception for a girl. ” Jack praised but with a sarcastic tone.
”We are really bandits in these part of the forest, the ’Crimson Bandits’ to be precise.
The old ones with us here are farmers raising crops and vegetables.
They have been good to us Crimson Bandits, giving us food every after harvest.
But then two years ago the dry season started.
It has gone to be a minor drought that can still be remedied if the officials did the proper action.
We don’t know what has happened these past two years that led them to forget the people who are waiting for their help.
The farmers had poor harvest these past two years that led them to get hungry and starve.
Without crops and vegetables to sell of eat there will be no income for them and they can starve to death. ”

”So these farmers asked you for help? ” I asked.
”And you thought them what you knew best. ” I said sarcastically.

”Hey lady, we might be bandits but we also have our own ethics. ” James said.

”Jack’s right. ” Brad seconded.
”We only steal from those filthy reach nobles that are always having feasts in their mansions while we common folks suffer from the drought and hunger. ”

”And as much as possible we don’t like violence. ” Jack added.
”We just scare people to get their money with no harm done. ”

”Then let’s make a deal then. ” I offered.
”I will help the villagers so that they can get what they need from the officials.
I will see to it that they can make it through out this drought. ”

”You sure you can do that lady? ” Jack asked.
”I mean, no offense but you are just a young girl. ”

”Looks can be deceiving Mr.
Jack.
I give you my word. ” I said.
”And please don’t call me lady.
I have a name. ”

”Okay, if you say so Alicia.
But what do you want in return? ” Jack asked.
”As I can see, we are the ones with the short straw here. ” He gestured to the men in black that are still aiming their arrows at his men.

”I would like to form a partnership, or rather a friendship with you. ” I smiled wittingly.

”Hah?! ” Jack looked confused and Brad surprised.

”What?! ” Leon was looking at me questioningly.
