I knew those two people did not have a good intention while approaching us but I decided to play along.
It was clear that Jasmine still retained some reasoning as she was looking at me with her big eyes.
'Is she expecting me to sweet talk her or coax her to leave with me?'
'I am sorry...but such things don't exist in my dictionary, dear!'
It was like a teen in her rebel phase, trying to do the stuff from which she was told to back off!
"Okay, Jasmine since this is what you want then, I hope you have a good time alone."
I didn't even bother to give her a further glance and left the restaurant.
In reality, I didn't leave and just sat on a public bench in front of the restaurant.
After all, you must be brain-dead for leaving a drunk woman alone.
If you do that then you would only end up making a wedding dress for others.
I enjoyed the cold breeze of the night as I continuously perceived with my wind and spatial magic what Jasmine was doing inside.
Half an hour passed, and the Lolli somehow managed to drink 5 full glasses.
I was surprised at her capacity, 'looks like she vented her frustration on poor wine.'
She realized she drank a lot and decided it was time to quit.
Seeing her stand up, the two middle-aged men hurriedly tried to help her stand.
But Jasmine still had some awareness and pushed them away. ReadNovelFull.com
"What are you two doing?"
"This young lady does not need anyone's help!"
"I am alone enough to go back to my inn."
She somehow managed to maintain her balance while walking out.
One could clearly see how much of an effort she was putting into herself to avoid falling and sleeping right on the floor.
There was a glint in the eyes of two men that were stalking her.
They hurriedly followed behind her.
Both she and the pursuers were walking in a narrow alley as I tailed them from behind.
I knew where things were going.
This was the reason I did not take any action earlier.
Sensing something was wrong Jasmine looked back and saw the two middle-aged men she saw while drinking following her.
"What are you two doing?"
"Hehe, such a young and beautiful girl can't be left alone at night", spoke the one with short height.
"Brother you are right! Today we caught a big fish haha!"-spoke the other.
Seeing them approaching her, she tried to pull her bow and arrows from her back, but her face sank as she realised she left them in her room.
Her mind sensing a big danger started producing alert hormones to help her sober up.
Even though her mind had become a little clear with the stimulus, her body was already too drowsy to run away.
She wanted to escape but she was barely able to walk properly.
With her staggering steps, she was no match for the people chasing her.
"Hehe, little beauty! Don't be scared, we brothers will make you feel good in no time."
She tried to look around for help but in the dark of the night, she found no one.
There was despair on her face.
I watched everything from the shadows and even though I did not want her to suffer, I knew that I needed to wait for a little longer before helping her.
If you help someone when there is a need they would be grateful to you but if you help someone who is desperate then he or she will feel indebted to you.
And I wanted Jasmine to be indebted to me for all her lifetime.
Therefore, I was waiting for the perfect moment when she would lose all hope.
There were tears dripping down her face.
She wanted to shout for help but the wine was too strong for her.
She subconsciously tried to walk backwards but she tripped over and fell.
"Please, I beg you not to come near me!"
"Please!"
"I can offer you a lot of money, just let me go!"
The two men just laughed at her and slowly started approaching her.
"Weren't you acting haughty a while back?"
"What's the matter now?"
"Don't worry you will be obedient once we are done with you."
"Brother, should we take turns breaking her?"
"Haha!"
It was at this moment she started losing all her hope.
She scolded herself for being too reckless and for not going back with Elandor.
With his strength, such small fries would never dare to follow them.
The fact that her purity, which she kept for her future life-partner since childhood, was about to be taken away forcefully made her choke inwardly.
It was at this moment she remembered the face of Elandor.
The person who managed to leave the deepest impression on her mind in the past few days.
With all her remaining strength, she cried out aloud,
"Bastard, where are you?"
"Come and save me, didn't you say you would take responsibility after suddenly kissing me?"
She found it funny that in this moment of desperation she thought of Elandor instead of David.
'Maybe I never liked David, and all of it was just an obsession as said by him!"
"Hurry up and save me or it would be too late, you stupid!"
Hiccup~
Tears kept falling down her cheeks.
Seeing that her fate was determined and no one would come to save her, she gave up her struggle.
She slowly closed her eyes and she made up her mind to commit suicide after this incident.
When I saw her closing her eyes and accepting her fate, I knew the moment I was waiting for finally had arrived.
It was time to engrave my shadow deeply in her heart and make her emotionally attached to myself for once and all.
I came out from the place I was hiding, 'I can't afford to wait anymore, This is the perfect chance!'
