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
I STOPPED from running and hid behind a large tree when I saw three creatures here in the middle of the forest. With the looks of them, I knew we were the ones they were targeting.It looks like they have no plans on giving up the idea to kill us. Really stupid."Those fools were here in Kozania again," I whispered in gritted teeth.I did not have time for them now so I waited for them to pass by where I hid before I ran towards the direction again where I knew I would find Matias.I fell to the ground when I felt pain in my right leg. Due to the fall and my reflexes, I was able to put my weight on my right arm causing it to have a bruise and seemed to be somewhat crippledI close my eyes in pain as I moan lowly. When I opened my eyes again, I looked at my leg to see what happened. Great! One arrow stuck in my leg.I moaned in pain again as my eyes burned with anger."Who was the bastard who did this?!" I groaned, angrily. Turni
I FELL towards the ground, tired, when I have finally beaten them,"Matias..." I said simply. Not knowing how I could get to him even faster.I took a deep breath and decided to stand up, I slung the sword around my waist and walked towards the direction where Matias was.I just hope no citizen of Fariano sees him yet. As long as no one knows his face, he will remain safe.My walking pace was slow, I could also feel drips of blood escaping from the arrow that was stuck in my leg but I did not touch it so that it would not bleed more. But with every step I took on the ground, the pain was biting me deeper into the hilts.I try to ignore and get rid of the feelings in my body from my mind, bearing in it that I have to endure it all to get to where I am going.More than an hour had passed before I arrived but my body was getting weaker with every second that was passing. I could barely step either of my feet."Really unfortunately,
I GOT up abruptly with a loud gasp. I felt a wet cloth falling from my forehead. I wiped droplets of sweat I felt on my cheek. I do not know why I am catching my breath, either. My body feels tired even though I just got out of my deep slumber.‘Was it just a dream? The thing that happened to me in the forest? And when Matias was arrested?' I asked in my mind.I moved a little bit and felt the pain in my leg. That is when I realized that it was not a dream and instead of groaning in pain my eyes widened in shock.The soldiers arrested Matias for allegedly killing Elana!"Rest first, Aliara. You are not well yet," the voice next to me, Adrina, said wijth a serious tone. I immediately turned to her, who was sitting in front of my bed. Only now did I notice where I was. I am currently situated in the siblings' room. "Your wounds have not completely healed yet because I cannot heal you properly in my current condition."The surrounding was dark n
I STOPPED the horse and immediately got off. I tied it to a tree while looking at Vivi who was also perched on it. I wanted to send him to Sevasti but I decided not to consider the situation I was in currently. I was stuck deciding what to do first. And I did not know what to say to him either.I was on the side of the palace, the road leading to the prison. There were two guard soldiers on either side of the gate.I sighed and pulled out a bag of money, full of silver coins. I fastened the hood of my cloak to my head before approaching a guard to hand it over. He looked around with caution and when he was sure no one noticed, he nodded at me.This is how the customs flow in here. If you want to see a prisoner and do not go through the proper process, you must bribe the guards."I want to see the robber who murdered the prince's lover," I said with a rather solemn voice.He nodded again and walked first, I also looked around as I adjusted my cloak,
I STARED at the large palace of Farianio. It was bright within it and vibrant. The radiance of the full moon underscores its grandeur and splendor. There is no denying that this kingdom was and still is prosperous since time immemorial.I turned my gaze to the full moon because my eyes ached looking at this palace. Whenever I see every part of it, I inevitably fail to imagine the foolish Henicio. How he usurped my kingdom and used it only to get to him the power he wants and enjoys until today. After he succeeded in seizing the throne of Farianio, he overthrew the kingdom of Kozania.He took many lives just to get something that was never meant for him. He betrayed his kingdom but now he lives in abundance. Not thinking about the costs of everything, the suffering we have got, we Kozanians.Maybe everyone has forgotten that but I will never forget. Everything that happened that night was etched in my mind because tears greeted me at sunrise.I will also n
WE DID not take much longer to start the attack in Farianio. It was late at night so the whole area was quiet, all the shops next to the palace market were also closed.We wore pure black clothing and hid in the dark. I stared at the full moon. Just how beautiful it was to watch with the shining stars."My Lady," Suri called softly to me. We split up and she was with me in this part of the area.I turned to her and nodded. I lifted the black cover over my face before we quietly jumped out of the high wall of the palace. We quietly walked towards the jail, escaping the few soldiers who walked around.We must quietly help Matias escape without the soldiers being killed because that would only add up to the problem we had right now. We are more to be labeled as rebels than robbers.We were startled when two soldiers appeared so we quickly moved to put them to sleep by slapping them on their necks. I took a deep breath as I slowly dragged a soldier to
