《I should care because?》How to kidnap a dukes daughter........ or not
Advertisement
3rd person POV
"Tch, we're going to have to kidnap the other daughter."
"Why? Weren't we going to kidnap the *princess?"
"Change of plans, the princess is always surrounded by really powerful guys. We don't stand a chance against them."
"But what about the silver haired guy that always hangs around the other girl?"
"He's pretty powerful too....."
"He doesn't always hang around the girl."
..............................
A raven haired girl sat atop a bookshelf, reading a book, when she suddenly shifted to the left, allowing a dart to miss her by a millimeter.
'Should I take care of them now or do I wait till I finish my book? I'll finish my book first,' she thought to herself right before she ordered the winds to divert any sharp objects that could harm her.
That's it?
Yeah, don't you want us to throw them to the edge of a cliff?
Mmmhmmm, or we could just direct the darts right back at them~
Meanwhile
"Damn it! Why won't any of my darts hit her?!"
"Shhhh, she must have a barrier surrounding her."
"But aren't barriers rare and expensive?"
"She's the daughter of a duke. What do you expect?"
"But didn't you say that her father hated her? So it wouldn't make sense if he gave her a barrier."
"Isn't that what I've been telling you? Being hated by her father, what's the point in kidnapping her?!"
"We could sell her."
"But is it worth the risk?"
"Why are we discussing this now??"
..........................................
Silence could hear the faint noises of people climb the shelf. This wasn't the silver haired guy, that she was sure of. He was much more silent then that.
'Who?' she asked the winds.
Oh, well they look like a John.

Yeah, remember the other guy that looks like the guy on the-
Silence simply sighed and went back to reading.
The moment the kidnappers landed on top of the shelf they spotted her and smiled in delight for it seemed as if the dukes daughter was defenseless and unaware that they were there at all.
Just as one of the kidnappers was about to place a cloth around her mouth and nose, her eyes flashed red. Though, nobody noticed.
Oxygen rushed out of his lungs and he started to choke, dropping the cloth to clutch his neck and as much as he tried, no oxygen would enter into his lungs.
"Oi, it's not the time to be playing around," the other one said rather angrily, "were lucky enough that she still hasn't noticed us!"
The other one felt doubtfull, for the girl not to even notice that they were there even with all the racket they made.....it was impossible. That is, unless she was deaf.....
"Uh boss? I don't think he's joking," he said in a bear whisper while glancing at the girl ever few seconds extremely worried.
The choking guy started turning purple.
Meanwhile under a tree a certain silver haired guy frowned, 'something feels of, I better check on Silence'.
Back to the library
"Tch, it seems like the barrier is stronger than we thought, we should come back here another time," the kidnapper said with a grown before jumping of the bookshelf, the other followed right after him.
Sadly, Silence wasn't prepared to let them of just yet, last they come back to pester her again.
Keme (the silver haired guy) appeared beneath a bookshelf arrived just in time to see a two men falling from the bookshelf Silence usually read on.
His immediantly noticed that they weren't breathing. He then quickly scaled the shelf, well more like ran to the top, only to another lifeless body. Oddest things was that there was no sign of a struggle, other than the fact that their hands were clutching their throats.
He glanced at Silence who was calmly reading a book as if nothing had happened.
'As expected' was all Keme thought.
"How are you doing?" he asked.
"Fine," she replied without glancing at him, therefor not noticing the ever growing smile on his face.

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.
