Chapter 18 - Kidnapped
Alessia knew the sun was out. She could feel it from the wagon's thin cover. There were two men inside with her, and judging by the sound they make, they're also heavily armed. There're also two outside maneuvering the vehicle. She could sense their every movement and hear their every breath.
This wasn't planned at all.
But she knew what Clyde was thinking when he switched up their names. These guys are Carthal's underlings. They are under his command. And one of his orders is to probably take Marika, who they mistook as her. She assumes they're headed to wherever Carthal is now, and take her to him. The only question that she doesn't have a concrete answer to is...why her?
They planned to use Marika. So why suddenly her? Because she's more capable of saving herself once they learn where he is? Or did he lie? Did he want to use her after all and his compassion for Marika was genuine? Or...does he trust Marika more? Because tha

Giorgio couldn't pick up the right words to say. He couldn't believe it himself. They grabbed the wrong girl?! Why didn't she say so for their entire travel? Was it intentional?! Then it was that guy's fault for mistaking their names! He is in disbelief. His eyes darted almost everywhere to avoid Ragna's glare.Ragna is a part-man, part-ogre towering over them. He's almost half as tall as these canopy trees in the rainforest. His enormous wolf fangs don't help lessen the intimidation too. As well as that frighteningly big club. It even has faint bloodstains on it.Giorgio is bewildered. Poppy's life is in danger, just like that! One mistake cost him her life."L-Let me make up for it," he stuttered. "Another c-chance...I will redeem myself, just give me another chance."Ragna intently stared at him. Giorgio couldn't maintain their eye contact because of the irking fear that's spreading all over his body. Ragna muttered, "We
Honor Bound Chapter 20 - The Alessia Retrieval Task Commences
"You should sleep for now," said Clyde as soon as they settled inside the cave. The horses were taking a break outside and Clyde had just made a fire. Marika ignored his remark and remained to look outside the cave, her brows furrowed.He looked up at her and realized Marika was too worried to be able to sleep. But nothing's gonna happen by just worrying. Clyde then made a make-shift bed for Marika. He tapped the space on the bed, signaling her to lay down."She'll be fine," he assured her."But the wizard looked strong..."He shrugged. "He might turn out to be a coward. Judging by his attitude earlier, it is likely so."She looked convinced and was making herself comfortable on the makeshift bed. After a while, Marika's breaths evened and her muscles relaxed. Clyde was sitting on a small log by the fire when he noticed she had fallen asleep. He quietly stood up and
Honor Bound Prologue
Amidst the fierce snow storm, Alessia's bloody leather boots were buried in the thick snow at every step. Her open wounds were freezing just as much as she is despite her layers and layers of garments. Her teeth bared through the cold storm, determined to reach the palace and report her mission to His Majesty."Argh!" She grunted as the snowstorm in the meadows threw her to a nearby tree, rocking the birds and letting snow fall to her. How is all the misfortune suddenly dumping on her? She begrudgingly rose back to her feet after huffing a heavy amount of snow that fell on her. The visibility was nearing zero around her because of the raging storm nearby which made it more difficult for her to return, and having the dozen men that came with her when she started this mission, she felt the responsibility of completing this
Honor Bound Chapter 1 - The King's Assassin
Whilst tidying up Alessia's leather boots after her sprained ankle was bandaged, a young soldier around her age came up to her. He sat next to her on the wooden bench and nervously scratched the tip of his nose. His freckles showed as his curly ginger hair stood in the way of his doe emerald eyes."A-Alessia Roffa? Is that you? I mean, I know that's you but—"She cut him off, raising a brow at him. "What do you need?""Oh, uhm. . .I've heard you're off to a new mission soon," he dragged his words in nervousness, which only piqued Alessia's irritation more. See, she's not about socializing. She's more about s
Honor Bound Chapter 2 - The First Encounter
Before the sun even reached her bed, Alessia was already up and about. She has already bought bread for the trip and is currently getting her stallion ready when the young Knight neared her."Top of the morning to you, Lady Alessia," he smiled and readied the saddle of his own stallion who was leashed to a nearby fence. She spared him a side-glance and nothing more, with no reason to give the jubilant man hope since he seems really adamant with this. The others also mounted their stallion and moments later, they were already back on course.Because of her frequenting the towns of Caelum, they easily found their way around and left the Kingdom. What's beyond the borders is where the real danger lies. Right o
Honor Bound Chapter 3 - An Auction
The world around Alessia stopped. The flow of her time was interrupted by the shock that took its time sinking in as she felt the blood gushing from her abdomen. She was stone-shelled for a moment as her eyes just stared back at the perpetrator, wide-eyed and in disbelief. It had been years since she felt real pain. She had always considered her combat skills above average, but that was only on a human-scale. Because she was quite sure the perpetrator is no human, because his eyes glinted a shade of gold and his skin shone like scales.Her reflexes weren't good enough against him. She wasn't good enough.Against dragons.

One look at her face and Clyde already knew what this woman was gonna do. He shook his head and grabbed her arm before she could even take a step towards the ramp."Don't." She struggled escaping from his grip and he's not gonna lie, his arm muscles flexed hard because this woman is strong. But he appeared to not budge, because she appeared determined to interfere with the auction and catch unwanted attention. She's reckless, alright."Clyde," his name rolled over her tongue so smooth it resonated so well in his ears. Her voice sounds so sultry and seductive, like an enticing mermaid lulling him to go near her—or are those the ghastly sirens?
Honor Bound Chapter 5 - Skeletons In His Closet
The moon is at its peak and the village is sound asleep, but Alessia's thoughts remained screaming in her head. Her mind replayed the fight that occurred earlier and how she didn't even grow suspicious of Clyde. He went up against a dozen men, some of which doubled his size, but still defeated them and left the battle without a single wound.Isn't he just a merchant?She scoffed. How had she not thought of him like this before? The shreds of evidence were right in front of her. His golden blood, him referring to the Dragons as his comrades, his mesmerizing hazel eyes—an eye color rare for low-class merchants—and his presence. The way he carried himself and the air around him oozed anything but indigency. He threw those bodies
