“Follow me…” A voice commanded in a deep voice. The order of the team was strict and very professional, and it was obvious that they weren’t simple.“Our intel, says that both the prince of the Blodinek kingdom is here along with the princess of our kingdom. Our job is to kidnap her. We refuse to allow this alliance to go as expected. The two Kingdoms must never come together,” He said, looking around at each of them with conviction, glad to see that they had just as much as he did.“Who’s with me?” He barked into the night,“We are!” was the united response he got, one that he instantly accepted, before turning around and dashing into the forest, listening to the quiet footsteps of his followers as they dashed after him.Fera, on the other hand, had tremendous luck the moment she stepped into the forest.She didn’t know where Hurai was or what route she was going to take, but the unique smell of her sister was something she could pick up without even trying that hard.There were other
Without standing around to think further, with the ring on his finger flashing red, he dashed in the direction of the scream.Allen also dashed right after him, following him from behind as closely as he could.They were so fast that it barely took seconds for them to get to their destination.“Who is she?”“Isn’t it obvious? It's Fera, the second Princess,”“Luck is on our side. We went looking for one princess only to find another one,”The werewolves said crowding around Fera with a predatory look on their face. None of them touched her, but the leader of the rogue werewolf group had been the one to tackle her to the ground.“Tie her mouth up…quickly,” The leader ordered, “The last thing we want is to have her scream again,”Instantly, the underlings obeyed, bringing out rope with almost all of them eager to carry out the instructions they had been given.But, they had just moved to touch Fera again, when she opened her mouth to scream. Before she could, a dirty hand had wrapped its
“I’ll point out the way…” she said as she began to walk faster with Lozi beside her, retracing her steps from where she had taken a turn when she noticed that she was being followed.Meanwhile, back at the pond where Kal and Hurai had been sitting and peacefully eating together while enjoying the atmosphere, just a few meters from them watching them intently, we're a group of vampires.“Shouldn’t we attack now? I believe that the more we stand around the more the Prince would be able to sense us,” if he hadn’t already, he said only daring to say the rest of what he thought in his mind. Watching their cold and vicious leader continue to look forward and watch them from where he stood in front of them all.“We’ll attack soon. Everyone get ready!” The leader suddenly said to the shock and delight of everyone there. What they didn’t know is that the leader already saw most of them there as dead men, and their only job was to serve as distractions long enough for him to grab Princess Hurai.
“Get him,” Someone yelled in a high-pitched tone, one that made Kal even more alert than before, drawing his sword out from the sheath at his side. There was nothing that could have made him decide to drop it at the palace.The sole focus in his mind as he attacked his attackers was to get rid of them as soon as possible. It was the only way to ensure Hurai’s safety.“Slash…” swiping his sword at them with all the seriousness he could muster, watching his attackers attack with just as much intensity as he did. What made it even more frustrating for Kal was how careful they were as they moved. They didn’t underestimate him at all, as they carefully attacked him at the same time, covering each other's backs and ensuring their survival.The way they worked together in fighting him was seamless, and he could tell that the two of them trusted each other a lot, unlike the two people he had slashed down in seconds.He was still swinging his sword at them while blocking theirs from injuring h
He ran for a few more minutes, glad to feel himself getting closer to the boundary of the Blodinek kingdom. The money he entered then he would be safe and could easily disappear. These thoughts were still going through his mind as he ran when suddenly sniffed the air with a look of alarm in his tone.“Werewolf blood…” his eyes widened in slight alarm, quickly coming to the conclusion that there had been a bloody fight not far away. “Are there vampires over there?” he thought curious enough to want to deviate from the path he currently took but was too careful to suddenly do such a thing.The frown on his face grew bigger, the more he ran when he noticed that instead of getting fainter, the smell of a strong werewolf seemed to come closer to him.Unable to take it any longer, he came to a standstill, gripping Hurai as tightly as he could to himself, placing a shiny blade around her neck, one that made Hurai instantly stiffen up, unaware of anything but the cold hard metal lying agains
Kal stood some feet away, his eyes on Allen, trying to reign in the violent thoughts that erupted as he watched him touch Hurai. It was obvious to him and everyone there that Allen cared for Hurai and not in the way a Knight cared for their master.He continued to stand there silently when he suddenly heard Fera speak to him.“It's good and surprising to see you here Prince Kal. Thank you for saving my sister,” Fera said while wondering why Kal was also in the forest. She was glad that Hurai was now safe, but also not glad that it had been Kal, the one she was engaged to who had done the saving.It wasn't like she cared for him, but since he was engaged to her, she saw him more as hers than someone belonging to her sister.“I was passing by when I heard the commotion,” Kal responded, seeing from Hurai’s distant behavior that she absolutely wanted nothing to do with him.“Really…cause a while ago I actually saw someone having a light picnic with my sister by a small pond,” Fera mentione
“Allen?” Lozia asked, trying to confirm that he was the person Fera was referring to“Yeah. I don't trust him. He sticks too close to her,”“Don’t I still close to you too,” Lozia thought, not daring to say his thoughts out loud.“Were you able to deliver the letter?” Fera suddenly asked, remembering the main reason Lozia was away in the first place.“Yeah, they got the letter,” Lozia replied. The last thing he wanted to describe was the shameful way it had been stolen from him.Fera simply nodded, walking even faster than before in the direction of the palace. All she wanted to do was get back to her room and toss away the riding clothes that she wore, coupled with the memories of today.Hurai and Allen were the first to get back to their quarters, with Allen carrying Hurai in his arms and racing back to her quarters at full speed.He didn’t drop her back on her feet until they got back to her room.“Thanks, Allen. You can leave now,” Hurai said with a tired expression on her face, wa
Breakfast the next day between King Horansi and his family and that of King Locan and his own was pretty quiet until someone broke the silence.Her voice was loud and clear enough for everyone to hear.“Father…” Hurai began, watching King Horansi’s gaze land and stay on her, a little surprised to see the determined gaze with which Hurai looked at him.“Father…I would like to train with the knights,” Hurai finally said. Her eyes were resolute, saying all she wanted in one breath, watching her father the king squint his eyes a little in displeasure.Fera sitting beside Hurai was still reeling from the shock she had just experienced at listening to Hurai ask their father for permission to train.The first reason was that even if they were vampires they were also princesses and the most likely response they would get is no.The second is the fact Hurai dared to ask him such a request unexpectedly and in front of everyone.Wasn’t she afraid of being rejected, Fera thought, turning her face
