Lucas' POV
Both of the two fucking stupid heads withdrew a bit and looked panicked. Then, one of them moved forward and picked up a ring from the liquid.
"Aha! My fucking ring! You two are not just ordinary reptile heads, are you? You're fucking thieves! You took away this fucking ring as soon as it dropped to the floor! Give the ring back to me!" I jumped at them.
When I grabbed their arms, they slipped away through my fingers because their skin was slimy and slippery.
They are like fucking eels with legs! It's impossible to get hold of them!
"Fucking lowbred creatures. How dare you steal my belongings in front of me! I'm going to fucking peel off your skin and roast you over the fire when you're alive!" I clenched my teeth and said.
They immediately kneeled on the floor. Then, one of them pointed the ring in his hand whereas the other one pointed in the direction of the she-wolf.
I knew it. They were weird reptiles and one thing that fucking she-wolf enjoyed doing was hanging out with fucking weird reptiles.
"What the fuck? Is this some kind of low-budget mime or something? What the fuck do you want to say?!" I shouted at them.
"Ahhhh! Please don't get angry with us!"
"We can give this ring back to you, but please let us take Louisa away."
"She's so kind to us. Please don't hurt her."
"We! Want! Her! This ring! Yours!"
"He can't hear us, potty mouth! And no matter how slow you repeat your words and how loudly you shout, he can't hear us."
"We couldn't hypnotize him, dickhead! He can hear us! He's one of us!"
"No, he couldn't."
"Yes, he can."
"No, he couldn't!"
"Fuck, I can hear both of you and you need to shut up right now!" I had to shout at them to shut them up. I couldn't let this fucking stupid conversation exist in my life ever again.
Both of them covered their mouths and stopped arguing.
"You! Give me the ring!" I pointed to the one who had the ring and commanded. My patience was running out while my blood pressure was running up.
"Sorry, sir. We can't return this ring to you unless you return Louisa to us," he said.
"Why the fuck do you want my women?! Can't you look for your own women?! Some octopus heads, maybe?" I scorned.
"We don't like tentacles. But that's beside the point," one of them replied.
"Louisa is a really nice girl and she's one of us," the other one said.
"You can hear us. So you're one of us as well."
"So please don't hurt her and give her back to us."
"We'll take her back to her tent, so she can sleep."
"And we'll wait outside her tent, so no one comes to hurt her."
"She's my woman! She needs to sleep with me at night! She has got enough security guards and I'm paying for all of them. I don't care what she has promised to you, but you two are fired," I said.
"We don't want to be paid."
"We just want to stay with her."
"And we want to stay with you as well, sir."
"You two are the only ones who can talk to us."
"We have nowhere to go, sir."
"Other traveling druids will come to the mainland and hunt for us, sir."
"My camp isn't a refugee camp! You two sneaked into my camp, hypnotized my soldiers, and stole from me. Now you're threatening me to offer you a job? I can't think of any reasons to let you survive." I narrowed my eyes and fastened my fists.
"Don't you want to know the secret passageway to the Underground City, sir?"
"We promise that we'll help you to find it."
"And we can steal things or hypnotize others for you."
"So we'll be really handy."
"We know we look ugly, but we can wear a hoody or wear a mask or something, so nobody will see our faces."
"We will be very grateful if you let us stay, sir."
"Very grateful, indeed."
"I've got a really good idea," I talked to my wolf in my mind while looking at the fucking duel.
"No, Lucas. You can't rip their heads off and hang them in your tent like trophies. They're very nasty-looking creatures and people will question your aesthetic taste," my wolf said.
"So I'll fucking hang their heads somewhere else. I have to kill these two fucking reptile heads," I rolled up my sleeves and said.
"If you kill them, you might never get to know the secret passageway towards Underground City. Our plan will be ruined, Luke. The royalties in the South have the possession of moonstones, what have we got? Snowflakes?"
I thought for a while and eventually gave in.
"OK. You can fucking stay and work for me but under one condition. You should never mention who I really am to anyone, especially that she-wolf. Do you understand? This is very important for me. Nobody knows who I really was except you two. So if I see or hear something that I don't like, I might want to blame it all on you two. Do you understand?"
"Yes, we understand, sir..." Both of them nodded.
"Now, put the ring back on her!" I said.
They looked at each other for a brief moment, as if they were hesitating.
"Do it right now!" I shouted.
Both of them swiftly moved towards my bed and put the ring on the she-wolf's ring finger.
The ring was a bit larger than her finger and it slipped down.
"Oops," one of them said. "We should make her finger larger."
"Or maybe we can put it on another finger."
"But a ring is supposed to go on the ring finger, dickhead!"
"What do you know about fingers, you've got clumsy webbed hands!"
I couldn't stand their argument and shouted, "Shut the fuck up! Both of you!"
I took up the ring and tried to put it on the she-wolf's index finger, but the ring suddenly shrunk to a smaller size. It just didn't fit.
I tried to put it on her little finger, but the ring suddenly became larger by itself.
I held the mother fucker ring in my hand and thought it must be the tricks from the fucking two reptile heads.
"Are you fucking doing a trick on the ring?!" I roared.
They covered their heads and exclaimed, "No, sir!"
"I swear I didn't do it!"
"We can't change the size of an object! That's not something that we can do!"
"So why this fucking ring is getting larger and smaller by itself?!" I shouted.
"It's a relic ring, sir. It's King Czar's ring."
"It's made by a Gifted One and given to King Czar as a present when he was young."
"It has its own thoughts and decision, sir. We can't do anything about it."
"You can try to put it on her ring finger, though."
I rubbed my temple. My head was about to explode because of the pain.
I took up the she-wolf's hand and put the ring on her ring finger.
The ring shrunk a bit and fit in perfectly.
The pain in my chest immediately was gone.
"Oh, fuck," I said to myself.
I put a ring on a woman's ring finger for the first time in my life and she didn't know a fucking thing about it.
