AFTER I put what I had stolen in my bag, I looked around. I felt like someone was watching me from somewhere I cannot determine in which part of the market he was in. I did not feel that when I set foot here. Most probably, just another opponent.
“Make sure not to make yourself known to me if you still want to keep that useless life of yours,” I said in a low voice.
I whistled silently to call for Vivi, whom I knew, was just around the area.
“Try to find the one who has been following me,” I said, still with a low tone as he approached me.
“Follow me, Miss! Follow me!” he said as he flapped his wings, flying towards some direction.
I resumed walking, finding some prospect I can rob.
It was about an hour that passed when I looked at the crowded parts of this market. From where I stood, I could see the sea. I can only see a fragment of the sea because of the trees that were blocking me from the sight but it
I PAUSED for a moment when I beat the two opponents in front of me, turning to Elana who was watching from the side. She looked at me sharply so I smiled at her to annoy her more before I fought with her men again.They took turns rushing at me, some of them were so good that I could not knock them down so I chose the weak ones to lessen them a little. I slumped down just to be hit by the whip of one of them. When he tried to hit me again with it, I grabbed it and pulled hard.With a shocked face, he moved towards me and that made me smile as I kicked him forcefully causing him to be sent flying onto the huge tree nearby. With the force of his impact on it, he immediately lost consciousness.After that, they rushed one after the other, so I prepared the sword, raising it up into the air and turned quickly so that they could be wounded altogether at the same time. I smiled as the three walked away to take care of their wounds. I took a deep breath and charged at
She threw the weapon she was holding and touched my shoulder. The soldering I felt doubled and it seemed like any moment I would faint. My glare deepened on her when I saw his grin. This fool of a woman! "Even though I do not want to get my hands dirty, it looks like it was really inevitable for you to get lost in the path of Sevasti and me," she said and brought her face close to mine. "This will be the end of you," she added, calmly. I laughed at her even though I was feeling weak. "Once I get out of your grasp, it would be you who would be killed first between the two of us," I grunted as I struggled on her grip. Even speaking seemingly drains my energy. She just smiled as if to say that it would not happen. She removed her hand from my arm and took a dagger hidden inside her garment. I looked at her more deeply. If only my stare was lethal, she would have fallen to the ground earlier. She was about to stab me when an arrow flew towards her
I JUST watched him as he continued to paddle, boarded on a small boat from a small island near the kingdom of Farianio. He took me for a walk because of the beautiful scenery there, making me so entertained that it was almost dark before both of us decided to go on the boat.And now it was night time because he was slow. But that was somewhat okay with me because we get to spend more time together. It was noon when I left our hideout but they knew I was just going around to different towns and markets to steal so they would not look for me if I were to be late. The reason why I am also not worried while I am with this man. My man.He looked at the ocean that seemed endless so I watched him freely, as time went by, he became more handsome in my eyes. With a slight frown on his forehead, I smiled. Whatever reaction he showed did not lessen his handsomeness. I think it has increased even more as we spend some more time together.His hair was fixed upwards now so ma
IN THE MIDDLE of the night I woke up to Vivi's shrill and repeated voice, calling my name. I immediately got up and frowned, turning to him."Why, Vivi?" I asked, puzzled."Bad news! Bad news! Adrina!" he replied, causing me to slowly wake up from my dazed self.My eyes widened and immediately ran out of my small room. My companions who had traveled to go to the market to shop for our supplies greeted me with a different scene. Adrina was being led by two of our comrades, who were immediately approached by Matias.With my speed it was just an instant I was next to them, surprised when I got to see Adrina. Weak. Her hair was slightly disheveled and her lips were pale. She was the only one who was in that condition among all of them so I already had an assumption as to what happened to her.If the enemy attacked them they should all be wounded but no."Adrina," I said lowly, turning to the two who were leading her. "Take her straight to her ro
I FOCUSED on Adrina's wounds and I did not like what I was seeing in her. As time went on, my anger built up. Thinking how I was going to retaliate against that stupid woman.I will not allow it to end this way. I will never allow her to do what she wants with us without us getting back at her. A warrior does not simply bend its knee on someone just like that.She was the first one to charge at me so she just deserved it. She has no right to take her revenge.I left the room even before Dana finished applying the herbs to Adrina's wounds. Adrina did not notice that I had left the room because she had her eyes closed and it seemed like she would lose consciousness in a few moments."Aliara," Matias called as he followed me. "Where are you going?" he asked curiously when he saw that the road to my room was not the one I was taking.I stopped and turned to face him blankly. "Why are you following me? Rest in your room as well.""I saw the look
My mouth tightened. I got his reason with what he said but I could not help but be annoyed. I must be the one who was angry, not the other way around.And how did he know I was here, by the way? How did he see me? Why was he there near Elana's house?I wanted to laugh at myself at the answer that entered my mind. Maybe he was going to visit that woman because she was there. Obviously that was the answer because what else would he do if it was not about her?"Are you going to their house too? Are you going to visit her?" I ask again in a serious tone.His forehead furrowed as the anger he had shown earlier gradually disappeared."At this time of night, Sevasti?" streaked with anger, I questioned him.I laughed sarcastically. He could not answer and seemed to have no intention of contradicting what I have said.I drew my sword again without taking my eyes off him, showing he could never stop me from what I planned to do.I cannot
SILENTLY, I walked away when I got off the horse I was riding, as I let Matias put it in the cage and give it a drink of water. We just kept quiet the whole trip coming here on our turf, he did not ask me anything. Perhaps he felt that it was not the right time, the fact that I was not okay right now.I do not know what he was thinking when he saw Sevasti and me together and seemed to be arguing for something he was unaware of. I do not want him to think that Sevasti had anything to do with what happened to Adrina but I also do not want to further talk about it and explain it to him because just thinking of it drains all of my strength.I just hope he does not ask more about that tomorrow. Because I do not know how to answer him in a way that would suffice him and his curious questions.Instead of going straight to my room, I went to where Adrina and Kera reside. I sat on Kera's bed and watched Adrina. She sleeps soundly so I do not move, being extra careful not
I LEFT colleagues first to go through the apothecary to buy some medicine. It was the closest market to our fort but our journey on horseback took a few hours. Vivi was on my shoulder, who was also watching around the place like a hawk as me. Fortunately, there is no emerging opponent right now, hopefully it will continue until forever.I only walked a short distance because the store I was going to was just near the entrance of the market. But even before I could finally enter it I was distracted by the conversation of the two young ladies in front of me, the nobles."Did you hear the news last night from the palace?""Yes, the young lady that the prince was supposed to wed was dead. The bandit that killed her has not been caught until now."They have moved away from me but I can still vividly hear their conversation in my mind.'Lady would marry the prince?' I asked myself.In this kingdom there is only one prince who will inherit the thro
