WITH A sword on my hand, I moved towards the place where Henicio is when I landed my eyes on him. I wore the outfit that I always use when I battle to protect some of my vital parts from his attack.
All I could hear was the sounds of screaming of people and the clanging of metal words when hitting each other. We are fighting by the front of the palace together with our allies fighting with the enemies for our sole reason, to conquer each other.
I gave him a furious glare while our swords were glued together with equal force. He put great strength to it to inch near me but I gave it to him with the same energy and enthusiasm.
"Pay the price for killing my father!" I said with anger lingering in my voice.
He just glared at me that
SLOWLY, I opened my eyes and saw that it was already dark. The fireflies were all over the place, the thing I can only see in this darkness. But a lamp beside me caught my attention when I regained consciousness. It was not an ordinary lamp. I narrowed my eyes as I looked into the intricate design of it. Delicate and expensive. I am certain that it was from a well off person.I looked around the surroundings when I realized who was the one who owned it. From my place, I can see another speck of light in the darkness. It was towards the direction walking away from me in accordance with its speed.I quickly stood on the rock I was lying on and took the lamp to come and follow the light for a reason I am not aware of. But I made a wrong step on the twigs and dried leaves creating a sound that is not much needed in this situation. I stopped and looked in front of me, getting nervous.The horse stopped on its track and he quickly looked at me, shocked. I just stared
MY EYES went wide when I saw Sevasti stormed inside my room. His eyes were full of longing when it landed into mine.He greeted me with a hungry and heated kiss, the reason why my comb slipped through my grip onto the floor as I went with the wave of heat with him. I snaked my arms around his neck, slightly jumped to make my limbs snaked on his waist. He bent his body backwards as he lifted me off the ground and slowly walked through the room into my bed, his lips never leaving mine.Preparing to sleep, I was only wearing my undergarments as he arrived without notice. He quickly get on top of me when he got me lying on my bed, taking away his lips from mine for some seconds to remove my dress. His eyes were dreamy as he looked down on me, almost drunk. Other emotions like lust can also be seen in his eyes and many other inexplicable and
I sighed.As I was about to stand, I halted when I heard a voice speaking on the far side beside me. It was none other that Matias. It looks like he never left the hall when I thought he did when the others left."Did something happen last night?" he asked, catching my attention."What would happen? Why would anything happen? There is nothing happening!" I said to him aggressively, which shocked him.I immediately realized what I just did and stood. I, too, am shocked with my reaction."I was just asking," he calmly said.My eyes sharpened at him to mask the shame I am feeling as of the moment. "Do not ask if something happened beca
I GENTLY opened my eyes one morning thinking that everything that happened was just a stupid dream, if not the worst nightmare. The thing between me and Sevasti up until to the point where we got beaten at our attack on the Auction.I quickly got up to prepare myself for the long day ahead. The two kids that were with me when I slept were gone. When I had already finished fixing myself, I went outside my room and every step I made, people were greeting me with utter respect and glee which I returned with my sincerest smile.The outside welcomed me with its warm air as I saw our comrades grinding away their training under the heat of the morning sun at the open part of the field in front of the palace. They are perfectly lined in front of a wood covered in straw to be used as a makeshift enemy to attack. The straw makes it softer s
Soon, I found one. A fine young lady, noblewoman. I grinned to my delight. It seems like she was furious about something, looking at how crouched her servants were being scolded by her. They are farther from where I was standing so I take a turn to further lessen our distance. I scanned her clothes and when I saw what I wanted from her, I swiftly moved past beside her. Getting the purse of money on her waist without her knowing.I continued walking without looking back at her until she was out of my sight. I grinned as I opened the purse while my attention was focused on my surroundings. It was like a fleeting moment when I took a glance at what the purse contained and lit with glee when I saw. It was all gold coins."I am never wrong," I said to myself before I closed it and hid it.I
I HANDED Hurisa the pouch of coins since she is the one who manages it. She wrinkled her forehead as she looked at what was inside it."This is the eleventh one this week. Are you planning to leave again?" she asked as she looked at me.I nodded and smiled."I plan to leave and go to the market again tomorrow so that I can give you more.”"What kingdom are you going to this time?”"To Widolla, but it will be a few more days from now.”"Do you really need to go to the market tomorrow? This is enough along with the previous ones that you’ve provided. I think it will lasts us until next month. Will you stay in t
Before the sun sets, I stopped by the falls to take a bath. It is during this time where it’s usually empty and no creatures are roaming around. When I sank my feet under the water, I took off my cloak and removed my clothes. My white garment dress was the only thing remaining that covered my body.I didn’t waste any time and I quickly soaked in the cold water. I went to the falls and turned my back, closing my eyes as the water ran down my skin.I stayed for a few minutes before I finally leave. I dived in the water once again before coming back up and squeezing my wet hair to get too much water out of it.I looked around and was surprised to notice a creature who was also surprised to see me.Everything around us seemed
I HAD a smile on my face as I walked past the last man that I robbed. He was noble enough that I didn’t need to check what was inside. I just slid the pouch that I got from him inside the bag that was draped around my waist.I walked towards the clothing store to get a garment. I ran my hand towards the fabric to feel its softness and ended up choosing a pitch dark, gloomy color which is my favorite one. I was about to pay for the cloth that I got but as I roamed my eyes around to find Vivi, my eyes unexpectedly landed at a familiar gentleman.I placed the garment back at its rack as I looked at him, my gaze staring and wandering at him. He was walking alone and with his hands at his back and his pretentious clothing, I could tell that he is a nobleman.He didn’t change at all, he still looked handsome like he had always been. He was dashing that every single lady that passed by couldn’t help but turn their heads to look at him.I heaved a sigh, knowing that I couldn’t meet him, much a
