Chapter 8: The Üadrhoth Sathotr (Dance of Victory)

Entryua watched Keitt’s scandalous behavior with speechless bafflement. The man had transformed before his very eyes. His timid personality had all but evaporated like a puddle under a blazing sun, and a sadistic smile turned his formerly handsome visage into an ugly perversion.

“And how do you propose to make me ‘pay,’ you Abh scum?” Keitt scoffed. “If you really care so much for your little pet, then why don’t you get on with it and do as I say? It’s not like you sub-humans have any scruples or shame. You’re just a loathsome homunculus, you depraved scum Abh.”

The Abh lass embraced the youth in her arms and stabbed at Keitt with a glare not unlike a laser. She didn’t avert her baleful stare as she laid the lad down.

“N-No...” the young man could be heard mumbling.

Entryua was struck with admiration. I don’t believe it... The Abh girl means to scrap with Keitt bare-handed!

The boy cottoned onto her intentions, and desperately attempted to keep her from going. He tottered over to cover her. The Abh girl’s shield.

At that instant, Entryua had decided whose side to take. And it just so happened to be consistent with the mandates of Clasburian law.

Entryua pushed a needlegun to Keitt’s temple. “Enough!”

“What are you doing?” Keitt panicked. “Are you afraid the Empire will retaliate? Then you needn’t worry. Our fleet may have suffered a temporary defeat, but our invincible land war unit is unscathed. We shall continue to defend and maintain this surface world until, by the favor of the powers that be, we secure all of space once again. So stick by the side of justice without fear—”

“Oh, that’s exactly what I’m doing,” Entryua interrupted. “I don’t give a rat’s ass who rules space. But on this planet, it’s Clasbure’s law and justice system that ought to prevail, and your actions right now fly against them. It’s a shame, too; I was starting to feel for you.”

“I’m just dealing with a fraught situation with the proper rigor!”

“Now I know why the police on your world were so hated.” Entryua then addressed his subordinates: “Hey, take this pinhead’s gun, would you!?”

His order was executed by the closest officer.

“You’ve made a terrible mistake, Inspector! Our proud army will surely punish you!”

“Abh girl,” said Entryua, ignoring Keitt’s forewarning. “It’s as you can see. I apologize for my mismanagement as the boss here, but I’m still going to ask you to come with me. That young man needs first aid.”

Her shadow-black eyes regarded him.

Such a pretty young thing... Entryua marveled. She was covered in dirt, but that only highlighted her shining beauty all the more. The pride and dignity that kept her from taking a single step back even amidst a sea of strangers and hostiles were clear to see in the glint of her eyes. He’d previously pictured the Abh as lofty beings perched beyond the clouds, but at least with her, the stateliness with which she carried herself had kissed the surface as well.
