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
I STARED at the round moon from here in Peredes, the name of the mountain where I am with Sevasti. This place was on the border of Farianio and Kozania. We were sitting under the shade of a bountiful tree, he was leaning on it while I was lying on the green grass while my head was using his lap as a pillow.This scene made me recall the memories when we wer visiting Widolla. That was like this, the only difference is that it was currently night time because this was the only time we can be with ourselves. To see us. Only the two of us.I just ran away from the palace because some of our comrades were there guarding the place to make sure that we were safe and if there were enemies to attack us, we would have the chance to defend ourselves. My escape was just successful because I have used my speed just to avoid them. Soon, I will be going back to the palace before the night gets too deep. We were still not that sure about our safety because of the new enemy who h
WHAT WELCOMED me at the palace, surprised me much when I saw some part of the palace was burning with fire and the others of my men were fighting with some unknown but familiar people."There were enemies! There were enemies!" Vivi said with a shocked voice on my shoulder. I pay no mind to him flying away from me to fly around the area."Adrina," I whispered when I saw her bravely fighting some of the enemies. I was so sure they were the enemies we had just earlier and it seems like they were in greater numbers this time compared to the ones we have encountered on the territory of the Verdantes.I immediately doded the one who aimed at me, using my great speed to turn around and be behind him without his notice, elbowing him in the nape with a strong force that made him fall to the ground, kneeling on one knee. When he did that, I locked his neck on my arm tightly and broke without batting an eye so he made a thud sound falling to the ground, lifeless."Y
"BASTARD!" I glared at him as I dodged his attack, kicking him in the stomach just to make some distance away from me. With his next assault, I walked past him and thrusted my blade behind him.When I looked at Leep, I saw his opponent holding him by the neck, exposing him to the fire that was now spreading through the area. I dropped the sword I was holding almost immediately along with the body of my dead opponent."Leep!" I tried to run as fast as I could just to get him but it was too late."Princess!" he shouted before he was eaten by the fire that was consuming the palace. I almost got my hands on him but I was late.With widened eyes, I tried to follow him through the fire when a musculine hand stopped me. Looking at it, I saw Matias.I gasped for air like it was strange for me. I cannot believe what happened in front of my eyes. I was almost there. I am so near and yet I still cannot save him. Our distance was just like a strand of hair but
