Technically, it was someone who held her back.
"Sorry, is there any problem sir?" She asked the handsome stranger who held her back. He just looked at her not saying anything. She becomes angry as he was wasting her time just staring at her. She tried freeing herself from his grasp but he held her arm a bit tighter than before.
"Excuse me, it hurts. Let me go. What do you want from me? I don't have the luxury of time sir" she said rather impatiently.
"Let me go with you. If he has sold it to the black pirate, it would be hard getting it back" he explained.
"Getting it back? You may have to buy your horse again. The black pirate is trouble" the buyer informed them yet again.
"Okay, if you are coming I won't stop you. But I don't have time".
"I may know a short cut to the outskirts of town. Let's go" he said and released her arm from his grasp, then walke
CHAPTER 47“I cannot promise you riches and fireworks as grand as this, but all I have to give you now, is my undying love for you.”“Eric…”As soon as his name left her lips, he pushed his head forward and surprisingly she found herself not backing out from him but leaning closer till their nose brushed against each other.With eyes fluttering close, Eric snaked his free hand up to gently cup her face in his hands and his lips captured hers in a hot kiss.BOOM!Several fireworks flew into the sky at that moment further beautifying the scene. From afar they looked like a couple in
CHAPTER 46"It's beautiful."Elsa appreciated the scenery and the thought behind everything. A bright smile danced on her lips as she turned to look at Eric. "I love it," her eyes twinkle with delight from sheer happiness. "Thank you."Finally, Nick let out a long sigh and returned her smile."I'm glad you like it, but that's not all.""It's not? There is more?" She asked again. To her, this was already more than enough, but here he was saying there was more.Right now she felt free like a bird, especially with the gentle breeze of the cool afternoon sun blowing against her skin and ruffling her hair. Elsa took a lung full of clean fresh air and exhaled loudly."There is more. You won't have to wait long though, as it is about to start."Elsa's brows creased in confusion, trying to fathom what other surprised he had but his charming expression gave her quite the assurance and as he stood, she followed him, moving close to his side.She followed the line of his eyes and her eyes landed
CHAPTER 45By the time they had left the store of the fortune teller, Elsa was already red like a tomato. She could not help or stop herself from blushing crazy when her mind played back the lady’s words.Nick felt amused watching how far she could turn red from embarrassment and he didn’t fail to take note of every reaction.They walked on, enjoying the views in the marke
CHAPTER 44“YES! Ahh, haha–ha~”Her short laughter filled the vicinity as she bobbed up and down on her feet with her hands raised in the air right above her.Watching her like this, Nick could help but get more and more captivated by this new side of hers, her childlike side and he loved it. Loved the way she became free with him.“It is time to fight?” His cool voice brought her back from her chirpy state and she landed on her feet, with her playful smile now completely gone.He felt bad he had to stop her. E honestly loved the way she spread her wings like a free bird but then time was running out and he knew she would soon go. He also had another engagement to handle.“I hate that I am the one to say this, but let’s move on?” he asked, gesturing with his head for them to move to their previous destination.“It’s okay. I guess I got carried away and behaved unladylike. For
CHAPTER 43"Four fingers," he started and Dawn blinked at him in confusion. "When you hold, turn your wrist outward and release."Before she could comprehend further, he moved his hand, so he was raising it to his back and his hands grabbed on to three arrows and brought them forward with him.Right before her eyes, she watched in full display how a three arrow shot was carried out.As he said, he turned his wrist holding the arrows and string facing outward and placed them on the bow just above his other hand on the bow.He turned the bow a bit, tilting it to the right and then released his hold.Swoosh!
CHAPTER 42At the last sentence, her face dropped. This didn't go unnoticed by Nick who was staring at her beautiful face and noticed the worry and sadness from her tone and face."Hey," he called out to her. Dawn raised her head to look at him. "What's wrong?" He asked, his already calm voice becoming softer and more pleasant to her ears in a soothing way.Dawn shook her head before replying him. "No, it is nothing. I just remembered something.""Are you sure?" He clarified once more.She nodded at him and averted her gaze in a different direction other than his face.He knew she wasn't completely honest with h
