In the noble’s eyes, the queen was a weak woman who couldn’t really rule a nation. He respected her father, but not her, and he showed it in front of every noble in the room.At that moment, he didn’t really care what would happen to Jackson and Rosalia. He just wanted to humiliate the young woman and gain prestige amongst his peers.He thought he could show everyone how a leader should rule. Brazenly, he commanded the royal guards, which garnered everyone’s attention for a while.A malicious grin appeared on his face when he put Jackson in his crosshairs. He thought little a disrespectful kid. He finally turned his gaze towards the young queen. “This is how you do it!”Just as a guard stepped forward, blood drained from his face when he met the queen’s gaze.“Hold it!”The previously soft-spoken woman let out a thunderous voice, freezing everyone in their tracks. The guards stomped their feet, and the noble let out a shriek.A glint appeared in the Queen’s eyes. She stared straight a

Sun shone brightly over the world. A serene landscape filled with an abundance of greenery and life got disrupted by the fast-moving train which went through it.The heavy, over the top luxurious machine raised dust in its path as it followed the tracks laid out for it. The ever-increasing speeds made its metallic plates tremble.After the initial threat against him, Jackson refused to stay on the sidelines while Rosalia risked her life. They didn’t even know what the situation was. Although they announced the heist through the speakers, it still didn’t convince them.If he wanted to take down the people who wronged him, Jackson wouldn’t run away. He had to take that step and prove to himself he could do it. Instead of holding up in a corner and hiding, he went straight at them. Rosalia sighed in frustration and went after him.“You can’t possibly think you can take them on…!”Jackson scoffed at the ruby-eyed girl. “I’m not an idiot!”Like a burst of air escaping her lips as a whisper

Jackson and Rosalia crawled atop the wagon, using every ounce of strength they could muster. The high speed of the train hindered their advance greatly.Not only that, but they also had little time, either. The train quickly approached a tunnel which barely had any space for them to crawl through. The slightest mistake would cost them.With Jackson at the front, leading the way, Rosalia followed as best she could. The injury on her arm slowed her down a great deal as the pain kept her from making advancements.Despite that, the ruby-eyed girl didn’t complain. She gritted her teeth and fought through it. There were times, though, when she put too much pressure on it and the pain made her shriek.Although Jackson couldn’t hear her with the wind blasting in his ears, he monitored her through the corners of his eyes. When he would notice this, he would deliberately slow down his pace to let her catch up.Jackson and the girl had traveled most of the way on top of the cart before the peopl

“I see. So that’s his angle…”Rosalia looked at Jackson’s face. Lost in thought, he lost contact with his surroundings. With a light tap on his shoulder, she got his attention. “What will you do?”Jackson shook his head. “I don’t know yet, but our goal hasn’t changed. We still need to reach the engine room…”The muscular man let out a howl as he flexed his muscles. “Leave it to me!”Clang!On his way out the door, once again he bumped his head on the horizontal post.Jackson and Rosalia looked at one another and sighed. From that brief interaction, they understood each other’s thoughts. They both wondered if they’ll be alright with that guy leading them.“By the way, I haven’t told you my name yet…”The burly man smiled at them right before flexing the muscles in his hands. Jackson could swear he heard his pecs making a noise.Already in the women’s area, Rosalia kept close to Jackson with her guard up. They may have paid that man, but there was no way she could trust him.Jackson nod

Chatter!Chatter!A woman clicked her tongue, scoffing at the voice from the speaker. “One thing after the other… I’m not taking this train again!”Another youth with crossed arms chuckled. “Hale, can you believe this?”Right after the static from the speakers faded, a young man with droopy eyes stood up. “Excuse me!”“Where are you going, Hale?”Hale looked from one side of the room to the other and shrugged his shoulders. “Right. Uhm… Around!”“Kaha! Go do that, then…”He nodded with an expressionless face. “Ok!”Hale then turned around, opened the cart door, and left the room. Just as he stepped out, another person bumped into him.“Out of the way!”Hale rubbed his shoulder where he got hit with an annoyed expression painted all over his face.When the person in a rush was out of sight, Hale uttered. “That hurt a bit…”He let out a sigh, put his hands in his pockets, and walked in the same direction as the one before him.Hale realized after a while when he saw him again going into
