Lord MMORPG: The Demon Progenietor

Chapter 97 Martha

"W–what?!"

Before anyone could explain anything general Dreg walked towards Rebecca and then kneeled on one knee as he put his fist on his chest and bent down.

"Miss Rebecca, please treat us well."

""Miss Rebecca, please treat us well!!"" The rest of the knights all chorused as they kneeled and bowed.

Guild master Arthur was confused and so was Hex but they soon put the pieces together.

Xander, seeing that Rebecca was still confused and unable to take in the situation he looked at general Dreg.

"Here, hold her."

General Dreg took the little girl from Xander and he walked towards Rebecca.

"You wanted a better life right? Well, now is your chance. They need a ruler."

Rebecca looked up at him and she was stunned as she looked into Xander's eyes that were like shining like rubies.

"Don't look at her directly unless you want her to have obsession... over you."

Xander blinked as he heard Asura's voice and he looked at the knights.

After a whole minute Rebecca finally sighed.

"I'll do it."

Her words made general Dreg smile widely and he turned around to face the knights behind him.

"We have a new queen!"

""All hail queen Rebecca!!""

As all this was going on a person in black cloak with a hood stood outside with the crowd of people who gathered when the fence of the palace crumbled.

This person, after the entire commotion turned around and began walking the opposite way.

...

There was no ceremony that needed to be done. The carrier of Xander's child was immediately crowned on the spot.

After the whole thing Xander took the little girl that the king harassed to another room and he sat beside her while reasoning what the king did over and over again.

"Hm."

Xander turned around as he heard faint moaning sounds coming from behind him and he turned to see the girl staring at the ceiling with her eyes half open.

Suddenly, she recognized the familiar ceiling and she immediately started crying.

"Hey, hey, what's wrong?"

The girl looked at Xander and just curled up and moved away from him a bit.

"It's okay. The scary man isn't here anymore." Xander assured her with a sincere smile.

The girl looked around and when she really didn't see the old man around she began crying louder and louder.

Xander walked over to the other side of the bed as she really moved away from him. He sat close to her and embraced the little girl.

"I understand that you're scared. But you don't have to be anymore. No one will harass you anymore."

The girl buried her head in Xander's shirt as she continued crying, her body shaking as she cried her heart out.

...

After a whole eleven minutes the girl finally rested in his arms and she stopped shaking.

Xander's face was that of tiredness as the new shirt he just got from Rebecca was drenched in tears now.

Soon, the girl let go of Xander and she rested on the bed.

Now Xander finally observed her features. The first thing that attracted him to her face was her light purple eyes which were extremely beautiful.

She has shoulder-length, messy black hair that fell in front of her face. Most of her bruises were gone now.

'That thing Dreg fed to her really worked. The scars are almost gone.' Xander thought with a smile.

"What's your name?"

Hearing a voice beside her the girl glanced at Xander again. She couldn't feel any hostility from his tone.

"Martha."

"Okay Martha, where are you from?" Xander asked as he saw that she could now speak.

Martha only shook her head in response to Xander's words and he was confused, but then she spoke.

"I have no home." She looked down.

"Okay. But what about your parents?"

"Monsters killed them."

The more the girl spoke about her situation Xander couldn't help but feel for her. She was homeless and struggling and the king still went ahead to kidnap her to make the little girl a sex slave, that was too cruel.

"Okay Martha. My name is Xander, and you can consider me your brother from now on."

She gazed at Xander with furrowed brows.

"What? I can't let you continue being homeless without parents. It would be hard to survive. Plus, you've gone through a lot already." Xander clarified.

He felt pity for the girl. After all she has been through, sending her back to the streets would be too cruel a fate.

"Now relax, I'll send some people to bring you food and clothing." Xander said with a smile as he proceeded to leave the room but before he could walk away he felt a tug on his shirt and then two arms wrapped around his waist.

'Damn. She mustn't want anyone near her right now.'

As he felt her grip releasing he turned around to face her and looked down to her.

"Don't worry. I won't let anyone hurt you anymore. If anyone tries it then they'll get a beating from me." Xander patted Martha on her head and the little girl smiled before going back and sitting on the bed.

As Xander left the room he found a few maids and told them to give food and clothing to Martha and they complied, after all, Xanded had authority over the palace as his power was shown to all of them.

He made his way to the throneroom where he saw Rebecca being dressed in a white, stylish gown and the maids fixing her jewelry.

"How's our queen doing?" Xander asked with a smile as he walked towards her and signaled for the maids to go.

"Not good. It's all happening too fast."

"Well get used to it."

Xander walked behind her and began to fix her necklace for her and she felt her heart beating faster as his hand graced her skin every now and then.

"S–so how is the girl?"

"She's doing fine now. I got my shirt drenched in tears after she woke up." Xander sighed.

Rebecca turned around and observed his shirt and she raised her delicate hand which was adorned with various jewelry and pointed it at him.

The wetness he felt suddenly vanished within seconds and it was like it was never there.

"Wow. It happened too fast." Xander said in amusement.

Rebecca chuckled as she just said, "Well, get used to it."
