"Does you even really care for villagers.", She spoke.
Tension spread in the chamber as she completed her sentence. The eyes which were now hovering through out the chamber were all on the Lisa. Some of them were cold.
Silence spread.~
".....", Draves looked towards Lisa as he knows what was going in the mind of her but he was speechless.
" State yourself clearly, miss Lisa.", One of the elders spoke as he put his palm on his face.
"I just want to give my opinion about the strategy.", She said looking down, tilting her head hiding something.
"We know about your past connection's miss Lisa, but we can't do anything about it and also those villagers are just burden for us."
The air in the atmosphere becomes more tense and tense and the silence hovered through it.
"Why....", She muttered in low voice.
Her memories flickered in her eyes of one of days she was going somewhere with someone and then tears fell through her eyes.
No one in the roundtable noticed as she quickly rubs those with her moist hands except Draves who understands her most.
Her past flickered in a blink of seconds through her eyes. ~

"Mother", A soft voice came from a little girl with white hairs following a lady of quite young age.
She was carrying a basket full of apples with her little hands and was smiling with her little face, looking towards the women who was few steps ahead from her and besides her was a boy name as Draves.
"Lisa, walks fast.", The young lady looked towards her with a smile full of happiness, but it was just for a few seconds.
and as past flickered there was a chaos somewhere~
The houses were burning; the screams were becoming more and more loud. The blood was flowing like a river, and bodies were all over of all kinds. Humans, cows, wild beast, all corpses could be found and in that midst of terror there was one child running towards her home.
And as she opened her door, she found the head of the young women, whom she calls mother. Her body was leaned towards the wall and at the front was Draves about sixteen years old all over the blood.
"Why...", She said in fear as she came to a horrified conclusion.
"Run... Run... Lisa.", His voice crack.
"The beast is coming towards the village. You need to run from here... They are the one who is controlling it...", He said with a fear in his eyes along with a blood on his face.
Her eyes were full of terror unable to speak she looked towards other corpse lying and leaned towards the wall.
Its right hands were gone and somehow a knife was pierced inside his guts.
It was clear that the one who killed it was Draves.
And then a voice came from behind.
"So, I want to see how it will work.", It was deep.
Lisa turned her face towards the voice and saw a boy and beside him was a lady hiding her face and then in a next moment a roar of something came.
It was not a sound... but a force.
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH—!!!"
--------------
Her memories engulf her, but she came back to senses as she felt someone hands on her soldier.
It was Draves who noticed her becoming blank.
She looked at her and their eyes met. Same eye contract which happened sixteen years ago when she opened the door finding Draves at the front of her mother dead corpses which was without head.
The smell of blood which she felt give her shiver down the spines even now.
She then shifted her eyes towards the elders who were silence looking for response and glazing at her.
For once she took a heavy breath and spoke.
"Can't we ask for more guards as a protection for the villagers.", Her voices echoed through ever head, every mind, every ear present there.
"We can.", One of the elder spokes glaring at her and added," I am afraid that queen might refuse as there is an ongoing war between Kingdom of Mos."
Hearing the sentence Lisa clenched her fist and girthed her teeth as if she was disappointed and then a mana started appearing covering her both hands. It was as if she was going to use mana possession.
The rage inside her was filling more and more as she was reminding herself of the horrified past and moment her rage engulfs her someone grabbed her hand.
The hand was soft and was as if saying everything is all right. The rage inside her was disappearing as she felt the warmth of a human hand which was of...
Draves who was silent and has already accepted his fate.
"So, the meeting is over", Elder spoke with his all mighty tone.
"And the conclusion of this meeting is that we would priories Town protection."
Every Arcanist in the meeting was looking towards them as they made the declaration and in every one of them head was just one thing except Oryn.
"Cowards"
