Chapter 41 - Stupid Fox
"Lady Diana?" the cksmith whispered in surprise, his eyes darting from side to side to make sure no
knights were around.
"Are my needles ready" I asked with a whisper.
"U-uh yes" he spun around and rushed over to his now, organised desk. "But you need to leave quickly.
If the knights find out I lied about you then it will be the end for me" he said with hesitation.
"If they figure out? the whole humannd is after her" Homura rolled his eyes. I pinched his fury ear to
shut him up. "Ow! What was that for?"
Ignoring Homura whine, I asked the cksmith a question while he was opening a chest "the needle
wrist holders. Did they arrive?" I prayed the craftsman had made me the holder I paid him to make
yesterday and deliver to the smithy when finished.
"OI, YOU BRAT DON''T IGNORE ME" he growled yet I still ignored him not wanting to waste breath on
this idiot of a fox.
"Yes, they arrived not so long ago, and I ced the needles in it to prevent wasting your time" he ran
quickly with my things wrapped around a cloth. Homura grumbled a curse. "**** you, female human.
When my leg feels better, I will bite your leg in return"
I wanted to smack this fox in the head but kept my hand still, smiling like an idiot confusing the poor
cksmith.
"I made sure I forged them the way you described and drew on the paper" he stretched his hands out,
the cloth resting on his palm waiting for me to take it.
"Thank you" I bowed my head.
"Please, I''m in no ce to receive a bow from a noble" he was embarrassed and worry averting his
eyes away from mine.
I nodded my head, obeying his request. "If that is what you wish"
A long distressful sigh escaped his lips, tracing his fingers through his head as he spoke "The rumours
about you were just talk"
"Huh?" Homura titled his head in confusion. "What rumours? Is this dirty metal human talking nonsense
again?" he said ironically, rolling his eyes.
I opened my mouth to say something but closed it again. ''It doesn''t matter anymore. Diana isn''t in
control anymore and neither is she in this world. I have taken control of her body and her life''
"You better get going now before more decide toe this way" the cksmith was anxious for me to
leave; he was still looking around making sure no knightse this way.
"Before I leave, it''s best to burn the blueprints for my weapons and needles"
He was puzzled. "For what reason?"
"The prince has seen my weapons and if he encounters the blueprints in your workshop you can get in
big trouble" I exined.
His eyes lit up with realisation and his face went a little pale. "You''re right. I must get rid of all evidence

that you ever came here and that I worked with you" he rushed to his desk and rummaged through his
workce.
Finally finding the blueprints he threw them in the fire. We watched how the papers caught on fire,
before shrivelling and turning into ash.
"Thank you, again good sir," I subconsciously bowed again forgetting about what he requested a few
minutes ago.
He sighed then to bow his head in respect.
"I know I should be leaving now but can you tell me where I could get a ride?"
He scratched his head, baffled with my question like I should know where I could get a ride.
"If you''re looking for afy and fancy ride for a nobledy like you, you should head out to the upper
district. There''s tons of carriages there you could rent out" he stated.
I shook my head. "I don''t need a fancy carriage, I need a dragon or a Pegasus to take me across
Alphyria without attracting attention" I exined.
"WHAT?" Homura yelped in horror. The man stroked his beard in deep thoughts. "Pegasus are only
used to pull carriages, not rode on separately or bought for personal purposes." "Oh, thank god"
Homura sighed in relief. I felt like rock toppled on my head, I really wanted to ride a flying horse. "I hate
horses. They find their entertainment by kicking us poor foxes for no good reason"
"You can only acquire an Ignis dragon through the dragon market which is on the east side of the lower
district of Argentum" he pointed east. "WHAT?" Homura yelped again. "Thank you"
"YOU CAN''T BE THINKING WHAT I''M THINKING" Homura yelling in my ear.
"DO YOU REALISE THAT DRAGONS EAT FOXES. THEY DEVOUR US". "I''m not surprised Homura.
They are dragons. The man chuckled. "It seems like the little fox despises dragons"
"DESPISE THEM! I HATE THEM. THOSE LIZARD BASTARDS" the man could only hear angry growls
while I heard his annoying voice, screaming in my ear. Bursting my ear drums while he was at it.
"I must leave now goodbye" I waved to him.
"NO, NO, NO. I''D RATHER STAY HERE WITH THIS DIRTY IRON HUMAN WITH HIS POINTY
ROCKS THAN SEE A DRAGON" he mmed his paws on my chest, his little amber eyes showing
nothing but fear. "Deal with it"
"Do you realise how scary and mean dragons are." He shook in fear. "They have nothing better to do
than brag about their scales to the rest of the creatures and eat us" he hissed. I looked down at him as
if he was an idiot.
"Don''t you brag about your fur and eat rodents" I rose an eyebrow.
He blinked at me, trying toe up with ame excuse again. "That''s different"
"No, I''m pretty sure they are the same" I snarked
"Safe travels mydy, I hope you find what you''re looking for" the guy said getting my attention again, I
looked back at him, and he waved back with his huge and dirt-stained hands with a warm smile across
his face.
"mummy" Homura whimpered with crocodile tears pouring down his eyes. "I''m going to die. This
female human just wants me to suffer" he said dramatically and cing his paw on his head like a
damsel in distress.
"Goodbye to you too, Foxy" Homura perked his head up and jerked back in disgust.
"Bleh, those are some dirty hands." Homura stuck his tongue out shaking his head in disgust. "Keep
your goodbyes to yourself. I don''t need it"
I banged my fist on his head. "He says goodbye" I said making the man chuckle.
He jerked his head back, baffled. "NO, NO I DIDN''T." he growled. "You should be a little nicer to
humans for a change" I asked with a twitching smile walking out the smithy and slipping through an
alleyway that was just beside it.
He gives me a poker face and opens his mouth to speak "Says Mr I killed two metal humans and beat
the shit out two important people out of anger now I got more metal humans up my butt chasing me
down because I''m a stupid dumb female human who likes to run across human caves like an idiot" he
mocked.
"Excuse me" a miffed smile appeared on my face, trying to contain the irritated feeling.
"Did I say something?" he was acting oblivious at what he just said about me.
I huffed in annoyance but there was no time to argue with this snobby princess right now, I have to
leave this town quickly, but I need to get a ride first and fast.
"Are still we going to get a dragon?" he questioned, his little eyes praying we wouldn''t.
"Yes" I answered in a monotone voice, fixated on my answer.
"NOOOO!" he cried, shaking his paws in the air.
"It''s not going to eat you, rx."
"Have told how scary and mean they are" he narrowed his beady little eyes at me.
"yes"
"And the fact foxes aren''t fond of FLYING!" Homura yelled from the top of his lungs. He seemed to
really hate dragons.
"Sorry but I''m the boss and I say we get a dragon to get to Ventus quicker" I said still fixed on my
previous answer. I don''t care whether this fox hates or is afraid of dragons. Benjamin doesn''t have long
to live. He''s got no more than 3 weeks to live before he dies from his mysterious illness on the night of
the rising, I think is the day he dies or before I don''t know I can''t remember the details, but I do know
it''s sometime around there.
''Sorry Homura but you have to face your fears like I had to''
"NOOOOO!"
