Seoru finish eating the heart and went back to the carcass. He dug out a slab of the wolf meat and chomp on it. Aiyana look in disgust then look away and back to her work. "I'm here father!" Thea said. "Have you got everything ready?" He ask. "I do father!" Thea reply. "Are you sure..." Thea mother walk in while holding out her sword. Thea pout and look at her mother. "Alright... Stop teasing her Lucy. She need time to get ready" Kwan told his wife. "Here little girl." Lucy hand Thea her sword. "Thanks mom!" Thea take the sword and hand it around her waist. "So... where is my bodyguard?" Thea ask. "Your uncle say that he will be back. He is out on his daily tasks." Kwan reply. "Oh...! Then I will go out in the city to spend time." Thea said. "Alright!" Thea said. "Alright." Kwan said. Thea and Hiab went out to the city and was also accompany by a platoon of elite guards. "Huff! Huff! That is some work!" Aiyana pick up the woods and place it onto the log carrier. Aiyana lift the log carrier but was too heavy. She give it a few pull. "Up we go...!" Aiyana finally lift the log carrier up. "Wahh!" She was suddenly drag down by the weight of the logs. *Thud* Aiyana was caught by someone. She look and saw that it was Seoru. Seoru take off the log carrier and carry it with one hand like it was nothing. "It is not heavy?" Aiyana ask. Seoru life the log carrier up and down in a quick succession showing Aiyana that it was not heavy at all. "I will carry it." Aiyana reach for the log carrier but Seoru push her back. He instead point forward, telling Aiyana to lead the way. Aiyana lead the way and they soon arrive back to the city. "Look who it is! It's that Ai... What was it!? Haha!" A few girl mock Aiyana. She did not care and keep walking. "Look! Who is that man that is with her?" A girl ask her friends. "Maybe it is the man that she is said to be seeing. I heard that she was pregnant but killed all of her babies to cover that she is not a whore..." They began talking about the fake rumor. *Growl* Seoru growl and glare at the girls. "Ahh!" They were all scare away by Seoru growl and stare.

Aiyana and Seoru return and Seoru set down the logs. The other servants also arrive with the logs and set it down. "Why did you let a man carry for you Aiyana! You bitch!" A servant walk up to Aiyana and raise his hand to slap Aiyana. *Zing* "Ahhh!" The servant hold his bloody hand and scream at the top of his lung. "What what!?" A guard rush in. "That man there cut off my hand!" The servant said. The guard look up and saw Seoru. "Hmph! That is Sir Seoru! If he only cut off your arm. Then you should consider yourself lucky!" The guard said. The servants and maids heard this and all lower their head. They were glad that they were not the one to approach Aiyana. "This way Sir Seoru." The guard said. Seoru walk out leaving Aiyana behind. Aiyana look around and saw the servants and maids chattering about what just happen. Aiyana quickly left to go do other tasks. Thea return and bought quite the stuffs. The maids and servants take the stuffs she brought and take it to her room. "Where is uncle dad?" Thea ask. "Your uncle had return. He will come visit again when he have time." Kwan said. "Oh... And where is my bodyguard?" Thea ask. "Come out Seoru!" Kwan said. Seoru appear from the shadow and into the light. Thea look at Seoru and stare him, starting from his feet to his head. As she got to to Seoru eyes, she look away instantly as it was draining away her energy. "He... is scary looking father. I don't think I can let him be my bodyguard." Thea said. "Like it or not. He is the best. Stop complaining! You will not meet your prince charming if you act like this." Kwan said. "Alright..." Thea said and look at Seoru. "How do I command him?" Thea ask. "You don't! He is there to make sure that you're safe and not in danger only." Kwan reply. "That's not fun then!" Thea said. Kwan just shrug. "Go rest. You will depart tomorrow." Kwan told his daughter. "What!? But I thought that it was in 3 day!? So 2 day left!" Thea said. "The academy is starting a bit early as there was many students entering." Kwan reply.

"I will help her pack her." Lucy said. Thea and her mother went to her rooms with maids to get the things she need. "Aiyana!" Hiab shout at Aiyana and give her a scare. Aiyana turn and look at Hiab. Get your things! You will be leaving with young miss Thea!" Hiab shout at Aiyana. Aiyana sigh and went to get pack her stuffs in preparation. "Ah! Sir Seoru! What are you doing here?" Haib ask. Seoru did not reply and just stare at Hiab. "Uh uh... I will... *Gulp* get going... Ah!" Hiab ran away without looking back. Seoru enter into Aiyana shed. "What are you doing here?" Aiyana ask but she know that she will not get an answer. But she still ask anyway as she hope that he would speak for once. "Uh... care to tell me your name...?" Aiyana ask. "Seoru." Seoru reply. "Oh! So you can~ speak! Thought that you can't." Aiyana speak casually with Seoru. "Mom! Will I meet my prince charming there?" Thea ask her mother. "Of course you will my dear! He is the man of every girls! You better make sure that he fall for you. If you don't take the chance then you might not be the queen." Lucy said. "Ummm! I will make sure he fall for me mother!" Thea words was full of confidence. "Ahhh~ Just thinking about meeting him is going to be so nice~" Thea could already imagine meeting her prince of charming. "Oh! And mother!" Thea said. "Yeah?" Lucy reply. "What does my bodyguard face look like?" Thea ask. "I am not sure. But your uncle said that he had the face of a devil and had razor sharp teeth." Lucy reply. "That's nothing like my prince at all! Does he really have to be my bodyguard?" Thea ask. "That is not my choice. It was both your father and uncle choice. You should know that they both love you a lot." Lucy said.

Next day. "Ahh! This is so annoying! There are so many bugs and flies! Kill them all monster (What Thea call Seoru)" Thea shout at Seoru. Seoru did not do anything other than keep walking. Aiyana look at Seoru whose attention is just straight. Seoru was the lead because, if there was any danger then he can deal with it. Seoru suddenly stop and cause the guards to also stop. "Danger." Seoru said. The guards set down the carriage and ready their weapon. "Ahhh!" 10 bandits appear in front of them. "Haha! Leav..." *kuusshh zing* The bandits boss did not get to say anything before his head fell to the ground. "Ahh! Bos..." The bandits did not get time to draw their weapon and was already all dead. Seoru gesture for everyone to continue. "Whoa! That was superb!" The guards said. They have never seen someone that is this fast and deadly. They pick the carriage back up and continue. Thea look at Seoru, wondering what he really look like. "Hey monster! Take off your mask and let me see you face!" Thea said. Aiyana heard this and also want to look to confirm that the face before was not fake but real. Seoru ignore her and keep walking. "Tsh! Guess you really have a monster face." Thea said. They walk for 5 hour before taking a break. "We will take a break everyone! Rest and refill!" The captain of the elite squad said. Everyone rest while Seoru was away hunting for his foods. Aiyana sit down and just look at the people eat. She was not given any ration. Thea on the other hand was having a grand meal in front of her.

*Rustle crack* Aiyana look behind her and saw Seoru. Seoru sit next to Aiyana and hand her a slab of meat and some berries. "I... will eat the berries instead. You eat the meat..." Aiyana take the berries. Seoru look at the slab of meat and wonder why Aiyana did not want to eat such a delicious meat. Seoru shrug and take off his mask, revealing the handsome face again. Thea and the other did not see this because they were busy eating and talking. "Nom nom nom." Seoru savagely chow down on the slab of meat. Blood spill everywhere. Aiyana while eating her berries, had a disgust face the whole time Seoru eat. *Gulp* "It's so nasty... Blaaa!" Aiyana want to puke. Seoru was done eating and wipe away the blood using his hand. "Not like that idiot!" Aiyana take out her handkerchief and clean the blood on his hand and mouth. "You clean it like this. You use this!" Aiyana wipe away the remaining blood. She look at the handkerchief which is all bloody now. "You... can keep it..." Aiyana said. Seoru look at the handkerchief and put it away. He put his mask back on just before Thea approach them. "You're not allow to stay near nor help this bitch!" Thea said. Seoru look up and give Thea a death stare. Thea froze in fear as Seoru stare was eating her alive. She could feel a black shadow appear behind Seoru and open its mouth at her. *Pak* Aiyana slap Seoru on the back of his head and broke the gaze between him and Thea. Thea shiver and quickly ran away. "The hell were you thinking!?" Aiyana ask. Seoru didn't reply and just stand up to walk away. "Alright guys! We will get a move on!" Said the captain. Everyone got everything and resume the trip. Along the way, Aiyana would occasionally pick up small batch of berries to eat. *Whoosh* Seoru disappear. "Where did that monster go!?" Thea ask the captain. "Calm down young miss Thea. Sir Seoru is just clearing the path for us." The captain said. *Roar* They hear a roar and look ahead of them. *Whoosh* Seoru return and look at the giant red bear.

"A red bear!" The captain said in shock. *Roar* The bear charge at Seoru. Seoru dash forward and disappear before he even take a step. *Whoosh* He appear in front of the bear and slash at the bear. He disappear and appear behind the bear. *Khhuusshh* Seoru disappear again and appear on the bear left side. The bear did not get time to react before the bear was slash 20 times already. *Whoosh* Seoru slide back and clasp his hand together. *Whoosh whoosh* 5 shadows of Seoru jump from the bear and appear about 4 feet above the bear. Seoru point at the bear. *Whoosh* The 5 shadows slowly turn into 5 spears then without warning, all the 5 spears fly at the bear and impale the bear from every direction. The bear was still struggling. Seoru dash at the bear and when he got near the bear. He take out his sword and stab the spear into the bear head and kick it deeper into the bear skull, killing it instantly. Seoru retrieve his sword and wipe away the blood and sheathe back his sword. He then gesture for everyone to resume the trip. The captain and his elite men were just too amaze because trying to kill a red bear will take them about 20 minute to take it down. But Seoru take it down like nothing. Thea was amaze also but did not acknowledge it as she know that she is the best and her prince can be better. Aiyana on the other hand smile and cheer on Seoru secretly. They walk for the whole day without much trouble. "We will set up camp here. We should be able to reach the academy by tomorrow noon." Said the captain. Everyone began setting up tents and do their own things. Seoru just sit on a tree stump and look at Aiyana who is struggling to create her tent made from branch and twigs. Seoru stand up and went to Aiyana. "Need help?" Seoru ask. "Would be nice." Aiyana accpet Seoru help.

Seoru had Aiyana sit back down while he create her shelter for her. He only take 2 minute to create a small shelter, it was not much but it could protect her from the rain, wind and cold. Seoru gather a few twigs and start a fire. He carry Aiyana from the tree stump and place her in the shelter. Aiyana blush as she did not think that Seoru would go this far. Thea glare at them and was a bit jealous. Seoru set Aiyana down and take out a slab of meat that was cover in cloths. Aiyana smile and take the meat. She take out her drinking water and clean the meat. She slice the meat in half and use 4 twigs to cook the meat. Thea on the other hand return back to her tent and was greeted with a grand meal. She sit down and began eating. 20 minute later. "The meat is ready, lets eat!" Aiyana hand Seoru his part. Seoru shake his head and push it back to Aiyana. "Aren't you hungry?" Aiyana ask. Seoru shake his head. "But..." Aiyana want to say something but Seoru hush her. "Then... pardon my rudeness then." Aiyana began eating. Seoru just look at Aiyana enjoy her foods. Aiyana was really happy to eat as she never really get much to eat. She look over and saw that Seoru had taken off his mask and was looking at her. But it was not his usual look that would stare into ones soul. It was more gentle and just so hard for Aiyana to look away. This gaze of him along with his look, make him just so perfect. Aiyana had her mouth wide open the whole time. She was just too shock to see that such a cold person can have this kind of look. *Rustle* Aiyana hear a rustle and look around. *Whoosh* Seoru quickly put back his mask and disappear. Seoru return with a small bunny. Seoru then grab its neck and was about to break its neck. "Don't kill it!" Aiyana hit Seoru on his head. Seoru stop his action. Aiyana take away the rabbit and let it go. "Go find your family little one." Aiyana action confuse Seoru but he did not question her.

*Cough cough* Aiyana began coughing violently. Seoru was confuse as to what she is doing. "Blaaa!" She puke out blood. Seoru hold Aiyana to prevent her from falling. "I'm fine!" Aiyana push Seoru away. Seoru ignore her and carry her to the leaves bed and set her down. He take out a black pill and give it to Aiyana. He went and got a cup of water. "Why are you so nice to me?" Aiyana ask. Seoru ignore her and hand her the cup of water. Aiyana put the pill in her mouth which is extremely bitter. She want to spit out the pill but choose to swallow it and chase it with water. *Whoosh* She feel so much better now. Seoru take the cup and set it aside. He had Aiyana lay down while he cover her with a black cloth from his side pouch. Aiyana was very confuse as to why Seoru is treating her so nice. Seoru sit near her and lie against the shelter. He take off his mask and look at the sky. *Whoosh* A night breeze brush pass Seoru. Aiyana look at Seoru with her mouth wide open. The way he look, the way the breeze cause his silver hair to move and the way the moonlight shine down on Seoru make him so memorizing and stand above all men. Seoru felt a stare and look at Aiyana. Seoru look at Aiyana and smile at her. It was the most beautiful smile she had ever seen. This smile can melt any girls heart. He is just too perfect. Aiyana broke eye contact with Seoru and look away. Seoru put back his mask and close his eyes. Aiyana soon fall asleep. Thea look over and saw that Seoru is guarding Aiyana. She tread carefully and try to enter the shelter to get to Aiyana. *Zzziiinngg* Thea hear a sound of someone trying to unsheathe their weapon. She look over and saw that Seoru was taking out his sword. She stop and his movement also stop. She take a step forward and Seoru resume taking out his sword. She take a step back and Seoru slowly put back his sword. She take a huge stride and half of Seoru sword came out. She jump back and Seoru sword was fully sheathe back. Thea was fuming with anger. Seoru was suppose to be her bodyguard by Seoru was much closer to Aiyana. She rush forward to Aiyana. *Zing* Seoru unsheathe his whole sword and block Thea from going in further. "Aren't...!" She was about to shout at Seoru but stop as she felt a sharp object on her throat. *Gulp* Thea had no other choice but to back off. "I'll get you another day!" Thea turn around and left.

Next day arrive. "We should be able to reach the academy in an hour or 2." Said the captain. Thea look over to Aiyana who is at the front with Seoru. "Aiyana! Come here and get me some water!" Thea shout at Aiyana. "Yes yes!" Aiyana rush back and got Thea a cup of water. "Not cold water but hot water!" Thea said. Aiyana hand Thea a cup of water. As soon as Thea got the cup of hot water, she threw it onto Aiyana face. "Ah!" Aiyana fall back but the water stop midair. *Psss* The water turn to vapor. "What are you doing!? Keep going!" The captain shout at Aiyana. "Ah! Yes sir!" Aiyana got up and keep walking. Thea knew who is behind this and she is really mad now. Her own bodyguard is not protecting her but instead is protecting someone else. 1 and a half hour later. "We're here! Just need to get to the academy." Said the captain. "It should not be far from here captain." An elite soldier said. *Gasp* Is that Thea! The genius of the Emulov clan!?" The civilians began chattering. Thea heard their chattering and puff out her chest proudly. Aiyana look around in amazement as the capital is really big, much bigger than what she had expected. But her happiness quickly die down. She want to come to the capital with her mother but did not get the chance. Seoru could see that Aiyana is sad, very very... sad. He also feel sad upon seeing Aiyana like this. He approach her and look at her. Aiyana look up and saw at Seoru who is holding a flower in front of her. Aiyana mood turn brighter upon seeing Seoru. "Lets keep going!" Said the captain. They soon arrive to the entrance of the academy. "We've been waiting..." A female professor said. Thea got off and bow down to show her respect to the professors. In fact, she is not the only one to bow down. The elite soldiers, the captain and Aiyana all bow down to greet the professors. But there is only one that did not bow to them. That was Seoru.
