If they believe what I said, I hope they will not kill me in this instance, not in front of the people of Farianio. I knew that Henicio had been wanting my neck for a long time so he himself would approach me just to take my life.
And if not, hopefully Sevasti will save me from the death which was awaiting for me. Even though he has abandoned me, I still hope he will not let me be killed. We had shared some time together somehow. Even became happy. I guess that counts. I truly hope so.
"Aliara!" Matias shouted again, shocked, scolding me. He now grabbed me by the arm and tried to hide me behind him but I stiffened my stance, never looking at him.
Even though my life was in danger I never felt fear and nervousness. Instead, what I am feeling right now for these bastards was just pure anger!
I looked at the soldier who was on my side when he put his sword down, it seemed like he was the one who led them. He used to be alert just moments earlier but now he l
I SLOWLY opened my eyes. The brightness of the surroundings greeted me, as did the dancing leaves under the tree where I was right now. I felt like I was lying on the grassy ground. It looks like I am in the middle of the forest, this place is perfect if you want to relax. And by the looks of the sky, I knew it was already afternoon.Suddenly, my consciousness came back remembering the last thing that happened before I came to this place. The branches of the tree brought me here, and only two races are known to have such power. I do not know which of them brought me here, not even her intention as to why she did it.Perhaps it was to save me? Away from the disaster I wanted to do? I do not know.I do not know if I am feeling grateful or angry.I quickly stood up and looked around. I do not even see a single creature. It seems like I am the only one here. With the lush trees and vibrant plants I see it looks like I am still in the land of Farianio.
I walked to the gate of the palace with fast paced feet. Good thing, the creatures I passed caught themselves on the sides as I walked through them. I ignored my comrades as they called for me.My tears flowed again, out of sadness but now, I can say that it was more because of anger that I am feeling for the unfair treatment we had to face if not for these bastards.I keep getting angry with these Farianos! Even for the last time they did not want to give me peace. If not for me, then at least give it for Matias.I get even angrier because I cannot do what I want. Destiny is really playing tricks on me! I get my heart broken repeatedly. Generally, it was slowly losing its feeling.I stopped when I did not notice Hazi had snatched the sword I was holding. I looked at him sharply."Give me my sword, Hazi!" I said as my anger went straight into my voice.He shook his head, masking the sadness he felt with courage, for Matias and I knew it was
I GENTLY walked down the long hallway of the palace, wearing pure black clothing whenever we had an attack or an enemy. I did not even bother to cover my face because the creatures that were the reason I went here in this place will also recognize me. And it would not end tonight without me killing them.I was about to reach Henicio's room when I saw the two soldiers so I immediately hid in the dark and pressed against the wall. I breathed a sigh of relief as they just seemed not to notice me and went straight ahead on the hallway.I walked again and stopped when I was met by a group of soldiers. Annoyed, I blew air because they had already seen me. Why are there still so many soldiers here even at this hour of the night?! They were supposed to be sleeping at this hour!"Someone got in!""Chase her!""Do not let her escape!""Unlucky!" I grunted in a whisper as I tsked in annoyance. I ran away and turned into another hallway. As long as I co
I just put my hands on his sculpted chest and automatically closed my eyes to feel his firm kisses. His hand fixed on my arm and it went down to both my waists, hugging me. We had not seen each other for a few days but it seemed like years had passed because I was so excited for him, for his kisses and touch. I am so familiar with his presence that no matter what happens, I will repeatedly accept him even if he makes a mistake with me a hundred times. Yes, I am truly a fool. Even if I say I hate him, he would never lose his place inside my heart. He was part of it even though it got crushed several more times. I was shocked when the image of Matias appeared again in my mind. Reminding me that this was not what I had come to this palace for. That was when I gain my consciousness again. I slowly took the dagger pinned to my waist, not cutting the kiss so he would not notice. I lifted the hand resting on his chest to his shoulder. And when I got
I JUST smiled at him and moved quickly to fight his men. When I beat some of them, I ran towards the nearby wall and stepped on it to jump high. On my next attack, the blade of my sword pointed at them. Exactly stabbing one on the chest, I immediately withdrew it causing his blood to spread a little.I grinned and again, turned to face the others who were determined to take my life tonight. Even though I could see the hesitation on their faces, they were relentlessly attacking me with their swords, which I never failed to dodge. I give them a counter attack whenever I have the chance, taking turns when evading their attacks. I also used my elbow, foot and my free fist to attack them so they can be beaten more easily.Every time I strike the sword in a different direction it leaves a wound on the opponents. And in a few moments, I had knocked down half of their number. I paused for a moment to take a deep breath and rest for a little while."You fools! You cannot
Immediately my forehead furrowed and a shiver rumbled in my chest. I was almost deaf to what he said. It cannot be! Not my people!"You bastard! They have nothing to do with it so do not include them in your stupid plans!" My tongue trembles as my anger begins to burn. I cannot even think straight this time.How can I save them when I am here in the palace?! I know that almost all of them know how to fight but I do not know how many soldiers Henicio sent to ambush my people.He motioned to a soldier, who immediately approached him and handed him a piece of paper. "Do you know what was written on this piece of paper?" He even gestured to me as if I had not seen it in his hand.I just glared at him more and did not utter a single word. I was thinking of a way how I could get out of here to attend to my comrades."It contains my order to slay all the creatures in your fort," he said as if it was nothing to him. I turned to face the soldier who gave it
"W-WHAT do you mean?" His lips almost trembled as he uttered those words. "Pure lies are coming out of your mouth!" he insisted.I smirked. "You know what I am saying, Henicio."Her shock never fades away. Instead, it seemed to only increase because of my confirmation. Who can accept what I am saying now when our blood is boiling to each other. He must have denied to himself what he had found out. If only he had chosen not to listen to what I said, he would not have listened to it at all.And base form what I have see in him, I do not know whether he will receive the child of his son from me.However I do not care about that anymore because what I am saying is not true, that I am pregnant. Nothing more happened between Sevasti and me because every time we got there, he was the first to stop himself.I just want to trick this fool Hencio so that he will hesitate to kill me now. Earlier, I was ready to die but when that idea entered my mind I did not
Tears welled up in my eyes, the night he killed my father came back. How he stormed the palace of Kozania. How he killed everyone. And how he wanted to include me together with my father to face death.Is that why father died? He did all of that because of me? Am I the cause of all this?No! He did it so he is to blame! I do not have to blame myself just for what he did! He is the only one I should blame because he is a fool and.a worthless!He tried to touch my face but I immediately avoided him. "You have no right to touch me," I muttered.He laughed softly and brought his lips close to my ear. “What you are pregnant with cannot save you now because I have long decided to kill you. Goodbye, my dear princess."My dear princess? Fool!He walked away from me, set himself to kill me.But even before he could move the sword around my neck, a dagger hit it that made him release it from his grip and immediately be thrown away f
