"By the time I face him, I am certain that I will hurt him to the hilts until he wishes that I just killed him instead of that," I said, clenching my jaws.
"We needed to save them right this instant. They might do something bad to them if we do not show up there as soon as we can, Princess," said Matias that was immediately agreed upon by our other comrades.
"If they try to harm even one of them, those bastard of a Vedantes will taste my wrath, I swear on my Father's name." I heaved a long and deep sigh to calm my raging nerves, feeling the anger half as I felt with Hencio. "Let us start preparing for that. Is there anyone here who wants to join me?" I asked the men I was with in this room.
They were experienced in fighting too but I did not take them with me in Farianio because there were too many of us and I know for sure that we will win. Perhaps there were a number of Verdanes who went here, the reason why they got defeated. With that in mind, I have to brin
I PUT down my hood when I finally reached near one of the markets here in Farianio. I commanded Vivi to tell him I am here and I will wait for him outside the palace.Even if we had defeated the enemies last night, I was still walking with all carefulness, watching the surrounding and staying alert because I do not know who was the enemy nor the ally on this land. Also, this is the territory of that bastard named Hencio. I know that I am slowly being on his watch now that I am making my move. I must not trust anyone that easily on this land. It will not be long until he thought of commanding someone to kill me with the likes of his loyal dog, Favier, like the last time.I smiled when I caught a glimpse of him in the distance. He was outside the palace, seemingly waiting for me. I cannot help but stare at his being because of his elegant looks as he stood there with an ethical posture. His fancy and stylish clothes even highlighted his handsome face.But even bef
I LOOKED around the area when we arrived at their territory. I immediately went down the horse I am riding so as my comrades. We prepared ourselves and sharpened our senses as we felt the surroundings. There was none to welcome us at the entrance, so we were thinking that they had something prepared to give us a warm greeting for our arrival.There were just a few of us that were seen because the others were hidden in their respective places, they would only show themselves in a particular situation. I signale Matias to precede on entering the place first which he heed quickly in silence. When he sensed no harm in the area, he nodded at us, signaling for us to come and follow him as the place was safe.When we finally entered the Verdantes' premises, we were welcomed with our comrades who were kneeled on the ground with their hands and feet tied, bruisingly tight. Even their mouths were with gags so they cannot make a sound just like what we saw at the palace when we c
ALONG with the thud of his body on the ground was the clomping of the footsteps the men walking towards us made, we were surrounded by them. With a knot on my forehead, I looked around and saw their all black outfit covering almost all of their being aside from their eyes. They all looked like they were experts in fighting. We were at a disadvantage when it came to numbers so I became anxious and slightly afraid for my comrades. By the way they stare at us, I knew that they were our enemies.I firmly pursed my lips when I heard Dardo's low but proud laugh as he forced himself to stand properly again. I just averted my gaze again at the newly arrived enemies that did not look like they came from their beloved king. It was like one of Idaho's men on the discotheque.That thought made my forehead increase a knot. Idaho was dead and almost all of his men were killed by us that night so I am puzzled to see his men here, or are this really his men? How do they become affilia
I took a few steps back and covered my nose and mouth with the clean cloth on my hand. The enemies seemed confused when they looked at us but none of them spoke a word. A gentle wind blew throughout the area along with the gradual falling of the enemies, all of them were unconscious.Vivi circled around the area flying. And when he saw that there were no enemies left standing, he settled on my shoulder."The gentleman has left. The gentleman has left," he said in a low voice. I smiled at that and caressed him in the head."Wonderful, Vivi. We won," I said, still with a big smile on my face. His flight was just a show so our comrades will think that he was the one who spread the poison through the air which in truth was Sevasti, in the first place. He was not seen because he was as fast as the wind.I do not want them to know that we were getting back on each other's arms because I am still not ready for the words they might say to me and their thoughts. A
“IF THAT is what you want, my love,” he said in an almost whispering manner.My eyes went dreamy when I heard those words coming from his lips. It feels like a lullaby in my ears.“My love,” I said as I inched my face towards him and finally closed my eyes when my lips landed on his.The kiss was light yet I can feel how deep his feelings were. It even took me a while to open my eyes again when he released me from the kiss. I will never get tired of this feature of him. These moments were the ones I am holding in my heart. I would like to play it a thousand times and replay it a millions times more in my mind.I leaned my head again on his shoulder as I took my stare back to the lake where the reflection of the gleaming moon lies so as the stars that were with it in the sky above. The silence of the night was filled by the quiet chirping of the birds nearby. I can even hear the sound of my heartbeat with this tranquil s
I SLOWLY walked back to the palace as questions about the future bugged my mind again. Thinking about the future of my people here in Kozania, my plans on rebuilding this kingdom, me and Sevasti.Are my feelings still right? Is it right to let myself be indulged in this kind of leisure with all the things that I have to consider because he was the son of my enemy? Would it be easier if I still think that he is fooling me like in the past to defeat us in the discotheque so I can only feel hatred for him? I sighed at that thought. This situation would not be this messy if that was what happened.I set all aside from my head. I love him and I am happy that he was with me, by my side, now so I do not want to spoil it by thinking of anything negative just to let go of him in the midst of this mess. I do not want to let him go. I do not want to lose him. I cannot see myself without him in my arms again. And I cannot have felt this serene feeling earlier if he was not there w
I FASTENED the phase of my feet as I walked towards the exit of the market as I secretly took out my sword from its sheath. As quickly and quiet as I could, I went to the nearby tree with a large physique to hide my presence and wait until it was the right time to show myself. I aimed it at the neck of the creature who had been following me since earlier, even before he could walk past the place I was in. In a blink of an eye, I was in front of him, gripping him on the collar of his clothes so he could never escape me.Because of extreme shock, he cannot even move a muscle. It was as if he was still in a state where he was processing what was happening to him all of a sudden."What do you want? And who sent you?" I said as I clenched my jaws, glaring at him with furious eyes.His expressions became serious prior to the shock face that he had but his eyes were stained with a little bit of fear and doubt. I looked at his being and realized that he was not ju
Sitting on her bed, she tried to stand as I walked into the room so I speedily went to her side and touched her on the shoulder."It was fine, just resting. How are you feeling?" I asked. I looked at her from head to foot but my eyes stayed longer on her arm, the one which was banded with a white cloth. I can still see the herbs that Dana put on it."I feel better, My Lady. I only need a little rest and by tomorrow, I can fight again," she smiled at her last words.I snorted at her as I shook my head. "The people outside told me that you still want to come back there and help them. Good thing they did not allow you. And Altas might be angered if he ever saw you there again.""I think not," she said as she put a raw smile on her lips, slightly pouting."What happened? Can you recognize the people you fought earlier? Are they once our opponent?"She sighed first before she fixed her position on her bed. Looking at the window, she spoke,
