Peter fell to the ground after the princess's words cut his heart too deep.
Peter: "How can someone look this beautiful, act this way?"
Princess: "AHAHAHA, Did he seriously fall on the ground because of my words? what a Pathetic hero."
Peter wiped his tears and stood back up.
Old man: "Peter, are you ok?
Peter: "B but... I'm the hero."
Princess: "I don't care."
Peter: "But I need to marry you to save the world from the demon king."
The king: "He's Right Princess Amelia. You need to marry him under the hero ritual. It's your duty as the princess of the water kingdom."
Inside Peter's head: Nice, the king is on my side. He's a real bro eheheheh.
Princess Amelia: "F...Fine, but on one condition, and you can't refuse. Deal?"
Peter: "Deal."
Princess Amelia: "You need to bring me a gemstone."
Peter: "That's it? A gem? Ahahahah."
Princess Amelia: "Hehehe, but not any gem. I want EMERALD."
Peter: "WHAT? Aren't Emeralds rarer than Diamonds? How am I supposed to find that?"
Princess Amelia: "You need to travel to the furthest point in the water kingdom. You'll find it on the top of the highest mountain AHAHAHA."
Peter: "Th That's impossible."
Princess Amelia: "That's my price if you want to marry me, Hero. Do you think I'm a cheap whore? Ahahaha."
The king: "The Deal has been made, Bring Princess Amelia The Emerald Gemstone and she'll marry you. You have my word Hero."
Peter: "Tchh, Fine."
Peter and the old man started the journey without delay. They gathered supplies and started traveling immediately.
Old man: "That was a bad deal if you ask me."
Peter: "Then why didn't you say anything?"
Old man:" It's not my place to get between you and the princess."
Peter: "Whatever, How long it's gonna take us to get there?"
Old man: "I'd say around 2 months."
Peter falls on his face after he heard how long it will take to get there.
Peter: "2 MONTHS?"
Old man: "Yep, and it's not going to be easy. We'll have to cross the land of the dead, Orcs Village, and Deadly Swamp filled with giant spiders."
Peter: "FUCK MEEEEEE! She knew, that Bitch."
Meanwhile back at the castle.
Princess Amelia: "HAHAHAHA He'll die before he crosses the land of the dead HAHAHA."
After 2 weeks of traveling Peter and the old man finally arrived at the land of the dead.
Old man: "We are here."
Peter: "So this is the land of the dead? it looks... Dead."
Old man: "There's an outlaw village nearby, let's stop there."
Peter: "What? People live here?"
Old man: "Just because it's called the land of the dead, it doesn't mean that nobody lives here."
Peter: "But why would anyone want to live here? there's nothing but sand and rocks."
Old man: "Mostly Outlaws, Thugs and wanted people live around here. Nobody from the kingdom is going to come looking for them here. They have their own laws in the village, so we have to be careful. if they found out you are the hero, they'll probably kill you."
Peter: "That's not good, is that why it's called the land of the dead?"
Old man: "That and because this land is cursed and zombies wake up and roam the land in the night."
Peter: "Huh? did you just say, ZOMBIES? Zombies are real?"
Old man: "Yes, but don't worry, we have the Ring Of Elements. It's blessed with light magic, and the sword is blessed too, If we ever encounter them, we'll be fine. Maybe."
Peter: "Maybe? My Brain is going to be turned into Zombie's food. That Bitch Princess, She better be worth it."
Peter and the old man face a Dangerous journey to cross the land of the dead. Will they turn into Zombie's food, Captured by Thugs in the village, or Cross the land of the dead successfully? Will peter find a Hot outlaw Girl with huge boobs in the Village? Find out in the next Chapter.
