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,
"DO YOU think those Veradates will answer you?" he questioned and he has a point given that they were our enemy once, still are.I cannot name someone that dumb to tell an enemy with their concern that easy without any means of getting something in return.And that made me more furious."If anyone would not tell me then I will use force, Matias," I said firmly as I imagined my sword aimed at Dardo's neck.He just smirked at me sarcastically and said, "And you think that you will not be harmed when you go to their territory alone? Stay here and let us think of a plan to know who our new enemies are."I grunted at him and shove the hand that was stalling me from walking away but he returned it there almost immediately with a stronger grip. He knew that I would never obey what he said so he would not let me go at this point.My eyes sharpened at him but he just gave it back to me with the same intensity so I gave it up and closed my eyes,
THE BOTH of us faced the guard that was at the border of their territory. Their eyes sharpened at the sight of me but was changed into confusion when it was averted to Sevasti.It was really confusing to see the prince of Farianio here, he needed nothing from this place. I just grinned at that thought."My lady right here has the need to talk with your leader. Can you grant us an entrance?" Sevasti said staunchly.The two of them turned to look at each other. Even took a second glance at me, shocked. I just raised a brow at them and mockingly grinned at them. It was just a couple of days since the attack had happened and I know that their anger at me was still fresh or to us, Kozanian, but I care less about that.After some time, both of them nodded and guided us inside their territory.Sevasti snaked his arm on my waist as he walked with me preceding him, entering their place. As we entered the place, we caught their attention. Some of them
"I DO not know, Miss," he said in an almost whispering tone, stuttering.That made me grit my teeth more in annoyance causing me to quickly hold him by the neck, as if choking him. I even inched my face to make his unfocused eyes stay on mine. This man was really pissing me!"You will never like it when I repeat my question for the third time, Dardo," I said in a whisper, fully threatening him to talk and spill what he knew.That made him more shocked and frightened as he returned his eyes to look at me, directly at my eyes. Indeed, this was the Dardo that I knew. The one that was always afraid once he knew that I was getting angry. He has been brazen for the last five years since we were defeated at the auction.This is why he had to know again who he was dealing with because he would never learn his lessons unless he got a taste of it again."I really did not know. Believe me, I know nothing about them, Princess," he said, trembling as he struggl
I grunted into the air before he spoke again. "I am not lucky for being a prince, I am lucky because I have a beautiful lady who loves me. I am lucky because I have you, Aliara," he stated as he looked directly into my eyes, intently.I slowly looked at him with my arms still circling around him. His words touched my feelings knowing how heartfelt it was. My eyes were full of emotions right now, I know it. That was also what I saw in him as he smiled at me sweetly."It was the same for me, Sevasti," I said in a low voice, almost a whisper.I feel deaf with the loud ramming of my heart inside my chest. I closed my eyes when his lips landed onto mine, sweet. This kiss was full of emotion and it had impacted me differently. I feel ecstatic.The longer we got, my feelings for him were also getting deeper.When he released me from the kiss, I returned the tight hug I gave him earlier. We were in this position for a long time because none of us wanted to
