Chapter 82: Dealing with The Angry and Afraid Alex and Islinda

James patted softly and slowly over Eli's back, as he was trying to control his messed up feelings. As for Eli, she wasn't ready yet to let go of him, and so she kept crying like a flooded clouded sky pouring its rain down upon James' shoulders.

The sound of her crying was so loud that it made everyone in this deck look at the couple. Dora was standing there motionless with great pain in her chest. she didn't know why, when Eli jumped and screamed for help, James' body obviously subconsciously trembled.

She felt an inexplicable desire to be in her shoes, to feel the warmth of a man's love and affection. She needed someone like James to scream for help in her devastated moments knowing for sure he would turn up the whole world to save her.

And the most ironic fact that she wanted that man to be James.

"Where is this place? Where is my father and mother? Father mother Please show up yourselves!"

The voice of Alex sounded suddenly in this nearly silent deck. Everyone looked at him as he started to look around him like a crazy person. His scream and reaction affected the nearby Islinda, as she began to observe the place she was at.

"It's the commanding deck of a large cruiser, are you part of the forces following my uncle? Are you the forces of my empire?"

Her face suddenly beamed up as she hurried to say:

"If you are my empire cruiser then listen to me, you surely know my face, don't you? Can't you recognize your queen? Please help me and don't deliver me to my uncle right now, please I have to get in touch with other forces of my empire. You have to let me gather up my forces and face up that throne thief and kill him by my hands!"

Her words carried a lot of hatred and anger, however the only response she or Alex got was silence, plus many awkward gazes.

"Can you handle them or what?" Dora suddenly moved towards James as she patted on his shoulder. She strongly resisted the urge to hug him like Eli was currently doing, as she had her chance before when he saved her but she wasted it.

"Let me handle them, after all I was the one who rescued them," James said as he pushed Eli slightly away from him however Eli refused to budge as she was still crying with a loud voice.

The words between Dora and James managed to attract the attention of Alex and Islinda, as both moved in wide steps to get near him.

"Are you the one leading this cruiser?" Islinda asked with anticipation.

"Where are mother and father?" Alex asked.

James looked at both of them before sighing.

"Look, what I'm about to say may seem quite weird, but I found the two of you losing consciousness in my way and I picked you up," James said.

"What do you mean? How come you accidently found me?" Alex furiously said.

"That's unbelievable! I was thrown into a trial ground where the risk of death there is quite high. What happened then? Where is my trial? Wait a moment, have you taken me away from the trial ground? How dare you!"

Islinda was really hard to deal with, as her state of mind was already chaotic in the first place. James took a deep breath before saying:

"In fact you two were supposed to die, but I saved your life alongside my little Eli here."

"What madness are you talking about?" Alex said as he waved his hands towards James, "forget it, I don't know what tricks you are trying to play here with me but I'm not the fool you think of. I will search for my parents on my own then."

He was just about to move when Rigo pointed towards the two of them to be surrounded by James' droids.

"What are you doing by standing in my face? And what strange tattoos you are having, this is my first time seeing something like that!" Alex said as he was angered by the sudden appearance of these droids. For him he thought they were some kind of weird race with some bizarre tattoos.

"Hold on, they aren't any race, these are droids!" Islinda muttered with a gasp that made her face turn ashen white.

"Where is exactly this trial? What time are we in? What year? Someone tell me!" she yelled with her panicked expression to everyone around her.

James was surprised by her reaction, at the same time Dora muttered:

"Lovely, you saved a daddy issue boy and a crazy girl. Good job James, they even didn't thank you."

"Sigh, what I can say? They have all the right to be this confused," James replied.

"Oh, really?! You are even defending them? That's more lovely," she then turned towards Alex and Islinda, "you two stop the crap you are saying since the moment you woke up. This man here is the one who fought it hard to save your witty lives, so at least you should thank him."

"And who exactly are you? His bitch?" Islinda asked in such a vulgar way.

"Bitch?! That's more lovely, no I'm the owner of this cruiser and everyone here is working for me. if it was up to me, then I would prefer to dumb you in the space and let you die alone as a reply to such insults," Dora said with an arrogant tone.

"Really? Then it's good you don't have a say in that, as this man here seemed more kind than you. We can insult him next year and he won't find it disturbing, because he knew he did nothing for us. We weren't in trouble to begin with, so no one has ever saved us," Alex replied in a more rude way than Islinda.

Dora looked towards James in silence as she wanted to know how James would react to this. James knew that the two of them were just confused and afraid, however his patience had limits especially at this delicate moment when he just got freed from his shock.

"Dora, do you have a prison here?" James asked with a tired tone.

"Yes, we have a big nice prison, do you want to imprison them there?" Dora asked.

James just looked at the couple who were shocked to hear the words of James and Dora. For the first time since their appearance here, they realized that their fate wasn't in their hands from the beginning. Before anyone could say anything more James said out loud and clear:

"You two have been saved by me, James, and my own forces here, the droids. Princess Dora here also helped in the process, but you two met out two generosity with mischief. I don't want to deal with people like you anymore, so this is your last time to reconsider and rethink your choices.

Stay in the prison for one day, and after that I will hear your final decision. In my own term, whoever I save his or her life will be indebted to me forever. if you two don't show such gratitude, then I don't need you anymore, and your fate will be handed over to this lovely lady, princess Dora."

James then looked to Dora as he said:

"Please put them both at prison and don't let them contact anyone until tomorrow."

Dora nodded her head as she ordered some of her new bodyguards to move the couple to their cells.

James was sure of one thing, whoever would transfer these two would start speaking about the great war that just happened. He knew the bloody massacre he commited would make everyone afraid of angering him, and that would also be true for these two.

At the same time he was feeling more curiosity, especially towards Islinda. He felt some strange familiarity, like the first time he met Dora.

"Why do you look at me like this?" Dora asked as James was looking at her while thinking.

"This Islinda, I don't know, she gave me some feeling that is strangely similar to you," James said.

"I know what you mean, I also had some vague feeling, she is a royal person," Dora said.

"Don't you have an archive for all the royal characters and important personnel in each empire?" James asked.

"Do you really think she is royal?" Dora replied before adding, "to your information, I'm a princess with nothing as the rebels don't have an empire to begin with. They are just a bunch of crazy greedy people who wanted to rule by themselves and not to be ruled over by others."

James just glanced at her as he felt she wasn't happy by the rebels at all. The moment and the situation weren't both suitable to discuss with her further about such a matter, as he said:

"It's just a feeling, as her words and attitude from the early moments of her awakening made me feel something towards her. She has an important secret, and if she has a backup of an empire then we can at least find a refugee there, or what do you think?" James said.

"Hahaha, you are really funny. After you imprisoned her you will ask for her help? You have a twisted mind or something," Dora said with a sneer.

"Don't rush up things, let's first confirm her real identity and then we will discuss our options," James said while Dora left this area headed towards the intel unit where all data was stored.

Dora knew James took the prison decision for one day as a measure to buy themselves enough time until they figure out the true identity of Islinda. She hoped she could find her true identity, as right now wandering alone in space was the last thing she would like to do.
