His Masked Knight
"It is futile" Duke Allen spoke, his amber eyes glinting with unwavering arrogance.
"How dare you!?" the crude looking bandit growled as he took another spare dagger.
"Don't bother" a sharp, clear-cut voice slashed his thoughts.
"My my Edgar, you are frightening the poor soul. Look, he is not bothering to attack with his dagger" Duke chuckled, lacing his words with superiority.
It only took a slash to paint the gravel and the ground with bright red. The ground also witnessed a 'thump' and a rolling head.
"Wipe that cocky smirk off. It's repulsive" the knight spat out, his eyes were filled with fury at the aloofness exhibited by his master. What would have happened if I were late?
"That's not how you speak with your Master, but that's okay.." Duke said, closing the distance between him and his knight.
"After all, you are" he slightly bent himself to whisper in the ear of his knight "my one-and-only Edgar Radford" his hiss sent sharp tingles through the knight's body. A rush of rosy hue brightened his white cheeks accompanied by a slight throbbing.
