Все главы The Runaway Alpha Princess In An All Boys Academy : Глава 31 - Глава 40

It was dark, but I heard some voices until I could no longer hear them. I waited for a while, then my eyes opened up. I didn't struggle much before I realized I was at the medical centre. I let out a deep sigh before I closed my eyes again. This was the rest I needed. Soon, I started hearing footsteps, and the sound of human breath. My sense went on the red alert the moment I realized they were tiptoing, I waited patiently, trying hard not to seem alarmed.Sharply, I heard someone draw out a dagger from its sheath. The sound wasn't dragged on so I could guess the length of the blade. At that moment I opened my eyes to see a hand raised up, holding the dagger firmly and ready to push it through my chest. I rolled off the bed immediately, dodging the hit and ready to make a quick attack."Shit!" I swore as I felt a sharp pain from dragging the catheter connected to the drip. I tore it off immediately and faced the person. "Who are you?" I asked but there was no response. He was dres

It was finally the day of the duel. The atmosphere was neither tense nor light, but I still felt nervous. Apparently, a similar academy to Ravenlake, Havenhouse Academy, was where the duel would be held. They were hosting for the year and so Ravenlake drove us all the day in a convoy. I wasn't moved by the treatment but it was a very expensive one, with over fifteen exotic cars and security personnel. Arriving at Havenhouse, I stepped out of the car I was in while Ash and Cruz also stepped out of their rides. Some of the school administrative staff came with us so they were also out. The host academy authorities came to welcome us as soon as we alighted the car, and I could also see that students from the other school had arrived too. Instructors exchanged greetings with instructors, directors exchanged greetings with directors and so it was like that, exchanging greetings at hierarchical levels. Some guys walked past me, laughing. I was standing at quite a distance from Cruz a

Ash looked hesitant for a second but he eventually got up and we left together for Cruz's lodge. He seemed to need a lot of care in recent days and I just could not stop my impatience to get there and find out what was wrong. We got there finally and knocked on the door. No response. "Cruz!" I called out but there was still no response. Ash stepped in, doing a few things to hole on the knob and then we heard the unlock sound. I immediately concluded that was how he got into my apartment too. There were no signs of him in the living room so we proceeded to the room and opened the door. As expected, we met him there but shockingly, he was seated upright on the chair in the room. Ash and I looked at each other, then our gazes shifted back to the frame. He was backing us but it was weird that he didn't turn around to face us, despite the fact that we walked in quite loudly. "Hey man, what's going on?" Ash asked, and I could literally see his patience run out. Who wouldn't be pissed

We walked through for a while, everyone keeping silent and holding their peace. Then, Ash spoke up, "I guess we should just run all the way to the finish line. Doesn't look like there are hurdles." Right at that moment, Ash was taken up. And was taken aback, turned and looked upwards to see what just happened. Ash had just walked into a net trap, the net was tied to the tree so he was hung up there. "What? You guys can't just stand there, help me." Ash rolled his eyes. "I think you should not have said anything then.." I responded and turned to look at Cruz, who remained calm with his hands in his pockets."Do something, Cruz." I panicked impulsively. "Now, you help me, Rowan." Ash insisted and I could see through his pleading eyes. He didn't want to owe Cruz since they were not on good terms. "No, Cruz will do the help." I also stood my ground. It did not make sense that they had a long fight which I didn't understand, but still had to be put in the middle. "Why are you soun

Just like I had thought, Cruz and Ash had beaten up each other by the time I got back there. "What do you guys think you are doing?" I yelled on top of my voice and they stopped. "It's been barely five minutes." I was now speaking with my normal voice, since they were both fully aware of my identity. "Can you please not speak like that? It makes me cringe." Ash said and I stuck out my tongue, "Get used to it." We continued and soon, we were done with the rocky parts of the journey. It was now getting darker, darkness was drifting in too quickly. "We need to find a place to stay." Ash thought aloud. "Not until I get some water to drink, my heart still burns." I replied to him immediately. "We can't stop till we get to the finish line." Cruz said authoritatively. "It's dark! Can't you see?" Ash responded harshly."Oh no, I believe I am not blind enough not to know that the other participants are closer to the finish line. Have you forgotten this is more or less a race? And if
