He saw the young lady and her guards talking to another group of people and decided to go to the Inn keeper to book a room, when he heard their conversation.
"You can resent all you want, but know this. I am the one whom you can never think of reject. If I just give a word not only the people behind you but, each and everyone of your family members, your friends and even the people you know will disappear from the face of this world." The confident tone with which the man spoke carried to Alan's keen hearing even when a sound barrier was erected around them.
The young lady and the guards behind here were getting uncomfortable by the second and it was quite clear that the ones behind the lady were no match to the one's opposite them. But, Alan still found the defiance in their eye and their stance.
"How dare you demand such a thing. If you know who we are....." The head of the guard behind the lady started to swear and draw his sword anger bubbling inside him, but the young lady raised her hand to forestall him and he fell silent.
" Ha ha ha..... Even if you are the queen of this Kingdom, you will accompany me for a night if I want to." The well built man said casually leaning back on his chair with supreme confidence.
"Kindly mind you words, I am waiting here for someone and....." As the lady turned away from the dangrous and disgusting man infront of her in exasperation, looking for a way out of the situation without any conflict, she saw a tall, handsome young man looking at them curiously. As their gazes met, he smiled and started walking calmly towards her.
Before she couldn't give him a silent signal not to get involved in the mess, he was already waving his hand towards her.....
"My dear! I hope I did not made you wait for me too much? I will apologies to you later properly. " The you man stood next to the young lady and put a hand on her slender and delicate shoulder.
This act stunned everyone. Including the beauty. When the stunned beauty caught the meaningful look in his eyes she relaxed a bit and raised her hand to her guards who practically were about to rush towards him and kill him if necessary.
"You are late darling. But, It's not a big deal. However you should promise not to repeat the same in the future."
Alan bowed his head slightly like a true nobleman agreeing to her wishes without even saying a word.
" How dare you interrupt my conversation. " The man sitting opposite stood up seething in anger and pointing at Alan.
Although he was tall and well built, he looked pale in comparison to the looks, height and the deadly grace exuded by the new arrival.
Alan raised an eyebrow. " And you are...???"
" Boy, I don't kown what is the relationship between you and this beauty is. But, I want her to accompany me tonight."
"Oh, and what gave you the audacity to ask such a thing from an unmarried and engaged young lady infrom of her fiancee?"
"Ha ha ha...."
The harsh laughter that rang out around them not only from the Man but also from his followers made the hair on the arms of the guards standing behind the young lady stand up.
