"Black , please. You have to believe me." Yifa pleaded while slowly moving a few steps back.Black was slowly approaching her with confident steps and if this was any other situation, she would have met him halfway but this was different.This was not their normal get-together like they usually have. This was more about something dangerous and bad.Yifa knew because the look onBlack 's face was enough indication of what was to come. He looked cold, serious, and mean which is something that Yifa only sees when Black deems someone dangerous.Now, he's looking at Yifa with the same look on his face."Why should I believe you?" Black asked but this time, he has already reached her.They were now standing in front of each other, only a few meters apart.Yifa was plastered to the wall beside the door with no chance of escaping.As soon as her back hit the wall, she knew that it was over and the only way she can get out of this was by pleading not guilty to anything that she was being acc
"Please, Killian ." Yifa pleaded again while looking at Killian from inside her assigned prison.She has been here for only a few minutes but she wanted to cry so bad but she knew that crying won't save nor will the door open if she continues to cry.Unlike Connot who left as soon as Yifa was inside, Killian stayed.He stayed in front of her with no care in the world, face blank and eyes emotionless.But Yifa knew that he was there to see her suffer and plead to get out.Killian didn't say anything and the expression on her face stayed the same which was enough indication that he really didn't care..Before Yifa could say anything else,Killian already turned around abruptly and left the room."Killian !" Yifa called out while her voice was shaking in fear and pain.She didn't want to be here. She didn't want to stay here with unknown people who had serious crimes. She wanted to stay with them. She wanted to go back to the way everything was.It was better to become a rogue than live
"Killian, what's wrong? You look like you saw a ghost or something," Black said when he entered Killian 's office and saw him looking at the wall with wide eyes and a pale face.He was worried but when he saw thatKillian was breathing normally and everything, he knew that Killian was alright physically."Gray?" Black asked again whenKillian didn't answer him and just continued to stare at something invisible.Killian snapped out of his trance when he heard someone call out to him twice already. He looked at Black with wide eyes.He can't forget about the letter he received. He can't forget the words written.He can't forget the way the letter was written and he'll definitely never forget the way he felt when he saw the words written in that letter.As soon as his mind was able to conjure the meaning of the letter, he can feel his soul leaving his body while anger, betrayal, and surprise clouded his every emotion."She betrayed us, Black ," Killian whispered while shaking his head i
"Get up," Black ordered coldly while looking down at Yifa who was sitting down on the prison floor.Yifa slowly looked up at Black with a blank look on her face. Black understood.It has been more than 2 days sinceYifa had anything to eat or drink. She must be feeling the fatigue, hunger and pain which caused her to shut down everything around her.He always sees this kind of look from other prisoners who were suffering the same fate as Yifa . It was painful to have stomach cramps due to hunger but she can't do anything about it but endure and stay strong."I said get up. Now." Black repeated but this time, he made sure to become more firm about his words and orders.Even if Black was angry at her, he can't get out the nervousness in his stomach at the thought of Killian 's plans for her.Yifa looked at him for a few more seconds before slowly getting up with the help of the bars in front of her. She made sure to hold onto the bars tightly before slowly getting up on her feet.Bla
"As punishment for your betrayal, you will receive 25 slashes from me,"Killian announced loudly but he was looking at Yifa in the eyes, serious and mean.Yifa was shaking in fear. She can feel the fear running through every part of her body which was causing her to shiver and shake in her knees.What was Killian saying?It felt like she knew but she didn't want tounderstand. She didn't want to know because she knew that she might not be able to take anymore.The crowd cheered in agreement. But Yifa couldn't hear anything but the loud beating of her heart and the ringing in her ears."Don't faint on us now. I must say, your acting skills are very good and I believed every word you said but not anymore. Now that I know everything, I will never learn to trust or believe you."Killian said lowly. He didn't want anybody to hear what he just said because it was a shame to be fooled by this rogue so easily."Killian , I never... I would never betray any of you and especially you... you kno
"Twenty-five," Killian whispered because he was breathing too hard.He felt like his soul was leaving his body after the energy he had to put in there and not just because of the strength physically he had to put in but no, he also needed the strength emotionally.It felt like he wanted to cry when he saw the blood and hear Yifa 's cries slowly lowering and disappearing. He knew she was tired and when her head fell heavily, he knew that she fell unconscious.He didn't want to do it. After the 5th hit, he wanted to stop but he couldn't because the people around them were asking for more.If he stops now, they'll know how weak he is for this woman in front of him and even if she did betray them, he can't stop himself from worrying about her.So, he made sure to make his strikes a little weaker even if they appeared differently in front of the crowd.The only reason Yifa wasn't falling on her face was because of the pole keeping her upright. Killian wanted to free her from her restrain
"There's an attack!"Somebody shouted from outside.Killian and Black felt like they were daydreaming because this has happened before.They knew that this was caused by the same reason and the same people.They just never learn!They must be crazy if they thought that they didn't think about it because they did, they thought about it.Killian and Black reached the grounds while riding their horses and when they got to the place where the attack was centered, they were surprised at how peaceful and calm everything was.The western guards were facing the southern guards in a silent stare down but nobody was making a move to attack.Killian knew why his people weren't attacking and that's because that's what he taught them. They should never attack first because if they do, they will lose a battle.It is important to keep calm and let the other party attack first because, in that way, they can gauge their movements and create a better strategy to win."AH! There you are!" King Brian sho
"Well, what is your decision? It's either that stupid girl or your father and anybody can tell who you should choose," Brian said while smirking at Killian as if he already won their little game.He might be right though. If he was using his father, Brian was here to win the game and he wasn't going to give up until he gets what he wants. He's crazy in that way."What do you want? I can offer you something else in place for both my father and Yifa ," Killian offered. He wasn't wavering and even if he felt cornered, his mind was running a mile per second to know what he can do to make him change his mind.He doesn't even know why he doesn't want to let go of Yifa . What was he thinking? He could have just chosen his father but the thought of giving up Yifa was making his heart clench in pain.Black looked at Killian in surprise, he saw it from the corner of his eyes and he completely understand why because even if he can't understand what he's running through his mind.But Black wa
