"I am not a thief. How many times should I tell you that for you to understand, Miss?" said Adrina. It sounds sarcastic but that is her normal way of speaking. The angry lady was now furious because of what she said. Considering the age gap, the lady must have been offended."Fool! You have no right to answer a noble like me. Your tongue is too sharp. I will make sure you are punished." The lady tried to put a finger again at her when I interrupted and flicked her hand."Did you see her touch any of your belongings for you to accuse her of thievery, Miss?" I said. She did not hesitate to show her annoyance at my intrusion."And who are you? Do you have my permission to intrude in this? Mere people have no claims here. I have no need for your opinion," she said, her voice laced with filth as she looked at my being from head to toe. I did not have my cloak with me so I am left with a blue humble clothing.I wanted to glare at her or at least roll my eyes be

"Let us go, Adrina," I said and dragged her out of that scene. I cannot even lift my head to face the two gentlemen who were still waiting for my answer. "We are going home! We are going home!" said Vivi. I calmed myself enough from the shame I have felt earlier before I talked. "Yes, we are going home," I said with a glint of annoyance in my voice. "Why do you have to join in the conversation, Adrina? I wish you would just shut your mouth with your unsolicited opinion," I said glaring at her but she just returned that kind of look to me. "Are you not the one who said that I am your child? I just stood for you," she countered. "Why do you have to do that? You know that I am just kidding." She scowled at me and removed my hold on her. "Why? Because you do not want that man to hear it? Do you know him? How do you know that he is a guard when he did not look like one such as now?" I averted my gaze away from her. Anywhere just not

I GAZE at the streams of water of the falls. I can hear its sound, as well as the chirping of the birds nearby. I smiled as I touched my lip at the memory of him claiming my lip in this very place.Seems like I can never really force myself not to feel anything for him at this moment. I was almost drowning to this happiness whenever I saw him and got to be with him. Even at this second, he is all I can think about. The wind is like putting me to sleep with its gentle breeze, it feels good.But I know I made a promise to myself that I will not let this feeling hinder all of my plans of revenge in the future. For the people of this kingdom and more importantly this kingdom, Kozania.I tightly gripped the hilt of my sword resting on my waist when I felt the fast approach of a presence. When I felt that someone arrived, I removed my sword from its sheath and positioned myself prepared for an attack. When our swords met, the clanging sound resonated all over the plac

I FELL to the ground when Matias hit me on the shoulder with the hilt of his sword. I immediately got a hold of the part when I felt the pain radiating through my upper left chest now.I glared at him because of that strong attack of his. He just grinned at me and lent me his hand to help me stand on my feet again but I refused it and stood on my own."You feel a little distracted today, Aliara. Where did your mind drift to?" he said that made me peer at him.I picked up my sword who was lying on the ground near me and used it as a prop to help me stand."It is the first time that you had me defeated but you are already proud, Matias.""That is not being proud of me to say that, Miss. I was just asking because that is what I am seeing from you," he said. His annoying grin was removed from his lips."The grin in your face earlier says otherwise," I said in an irritated tone and rolled my eyes at him.I put my sword on its sheath a

"Do not dare go near me," I said, my voice laced with threat but he did not mind it. He continued to approach me with that hideous grin of his and it grew wider. Seemingly to tease me because of the way I reacted to his doings."Why? I just wanted to hold this lady who made a fool out of me the last time. Distracting me with that charm of yours to get my purse full of gold coins.""I am in no way responsible for you being bewitched by my charm," I snorted, still taking steps backward to avoid him when he tried to get a hold of my face. My eyes sharpened. In fact, this man right here is very handsome, has a charming face and his smile is seductive but I do not fall for that. It seems that it was not effective on me."I said do not dare go near me!" I said, annoyed. Using my brute force, I pushed him causing him to be sent flying for some distance.The attention of the many passersby got caught when they saw him fall and heard a loud thud on the ground. The
