79 THE 16TH ACCOUNT: THE END OF MY ADVENTURE? 1

"Don't you dare! Rescind your order at once!" I raised my voice as I pointed my pistols at Prince Eric.

Everyone froze. I could feel all eyes were on me. One of the prince's officers looked at him, "Your Highness," he said, asking for his next order.

Prince Eric raised his hand to stop his troops from firing. His eyes were fixed on me, "You're bluffing," he said.

"Well, why don't you see and try?" I replied, challenging him.

Prince Eric smirked. I saw from the corner of my right eye that one of his sailors moved. Without taking my eyes away from him, I quickly aimed at the soldier with one of my pistols and shot. I did not miss his leg! He dropped on his knee as the other sailors helped him.

"I can shoot twenty meters with eighty percent accuracy. Now think what would happen if I aimed at you from six feet away?" I threatened.

Prince Eric scoffed, "If you shoot me, all of you will die after."
