Chapter 58
Chapter 58
-------------------------------------------
Adrian began his attack by running up to the nearest soldier.
[POUND! POUND! POUND!!]
*BAM**WHACK**CRUSH*
Adrian kept raining down the POUND move on the soldiers one by one and kept moving on to the next soldier.
Meanwhile, Clefairy imitated her Master and kept using POUND on the legs of the soldiers.
[Uuuhh!]
[AAAHHHH!!]
[Legs! My Legs!]
The duo made quick work of the soldiers and kept moving around to avoid being trapped within their numbers.
In the end however, this strategy was doomed to fail as the two of them couldn't match the strength of around 400 soldiers by themselves.
(...no worries...I got Zapdos... pretty soon...)
Just as Adrian's concentration waned for a moment, a soldier quickly reached the gap and attempted to decapitate Adrian from behind.
[Young Master!!]
--------------------------------------
At that moment, a dagger stopped the sword in it's tracks, while another dagger swept forward and cut the throat of the soldier instead.
Not stopping in momentum, all the soldiers nearby suffered multiple cuts along their bodies and backed away fearfully.
In front of them now stood a woman. Her whole body was covered in black, while only her eyes and tied up hair were visible.
The Prince had recognized the little monster standing beside the man and wanted both of them dead, when suddenly the man was rescued by the woman.
The Prince stomped his foot and ordered the soldiers around him.
[You morons! Attack them! There are only three of them. Beat them up quickly!]
The soldiers instantly moved into action and started to march towards them.
The woman however, was absolutely determined to fight till death, as she stood in a defensive posture protecting Adrian behind her.
Adrian was wondering who it was. After all, he knew that the ones calling him 'Young Master' would only be from the Guild.
But, he couldn't recognize the figure of the woman, as he didn't encounter anyone like that in his memories.
(...who is she?... and.. why is she protecting me like this?...)
As the Prince laughed in delight for the carnage about to unfold, a few balls fell down around the soldiers.
[Eh?]
*KABOOOM!!*
Before anyone could react, explosions rang out among the soldiers and the casualty count rose instantly.
The soldiers grew terrified and took cover to hide. They had no idea about who was causing the event as most them trembled in their hidings.
[W-What's happening?!]
[Is this God's wrath?]
[I am not a sinner! Why me?!]
And among the cries of the soldiers, the Prince had already disappeared from the place.
Nobody knew where he was, as the soldiers were left to deal with the aftermath.
---------------------------------------
Clefairy was watching the whole event and gasping while counting the explosions.
<13, 14..18?>
Adrian, meanwhile had tried to seek cover too, but was held tightly in the embrace of the woman instead.
[Don't worry, Young Master. I am here now.]
Adrian felt like he had heard the voice before, but couldn't pin point where
After a while, the smoke dissipated and the streets came into the view again.
Body parts were lying everywhere while no carcass was left complete anymore.
The road had turned messy with the blood, bones and the explosion remains.
And amidst all of that, a figure descended from the side and soon came into Adrian's vision.
This one, however he did recognize.
[You.. Miss Stalker?]
The figure slipped on the road and almost fell instantly.
She couldn't hide her blushing face even with the face cover as exclaimed loudly.
[It's me, Antona! Young Master... I am not a stalker!]
------------------------------------
Adrian knew that he had messed up. He had violated the most inviolable rule when dealing with stalkers.
That is to never call them stalkers on their face.
Regretting his poor choice of words, Adrian quickly smiled towards her and spoke,
[R-Right. Antona.. nice to meet you.. again..]
Upon hearing Adrian, Antona somehow calmed down and turned to glare at the woman hugging Adrian and scolded.
[And you! you Stupid Disciple! Do you have any idea how worried I was!]
The woman turned towards her master and bowed her head a little in apology.
[Forgive me, Master... I had to save Young Master..]
Antona knew about the woman's feelings and decided to end the matter there.
Adrian, however was still confused about the woman and asked her directly,
[Umm.. who are you then?]
The woman in question became a bit startled and turned to look at Adrian again, before she removed her face cover and looked into Adrian's eyes.
[It's me, Young Master...your Dana.]
Adrian's mind short circuited and blanked out for a good while.
It tried to match the two figures in his mind, but it refused to make any connections between the two at all.
The one who was one of the most ugly humans he had ever known had turned into a glamourous and beautiful lady.
Looking at her charming face so closely, Adrian became dazed and was unable to react.
Dana, on the other hand started to cry and wept while looking down.
Startled, Adrian quickly held her in his arms and spoke,
[H-Hey? What happened? Don't cry all of a sudden please.]
Dana shook her head and glanced up at Adrian's face with indignation in her heart.
[Young Master... I am no longer the beautiful Dana you used to remember.. I know that my ugly face disgusts you.. BUT! I.. I LOVE YOU! Young Master!!]
Antona staggered backwards as she felt a sudden pinch in her heart. She never thought that the truth would come out so suddenly.
Although she supported Dana's love for Adrian wholeheartedly, her own selfish desire of being closer to Adrian started to torment her instead.
(...Young Master...me too...)
Adrian was shocked beyond belief after receiving the first confession of love from someone.
(...what? ugly face? She's a beauty now!... and.. she loves me?...)
Spring came all of a sudden for Adrian, as he tried to understand how to deal with the situation.
[Ah.. you are not ugly, Dana. You.. are very beautiful instead. Thank you for saving me.]
Dana's face brightened, as her tear smeared face blossomed with a smile.
[Y-Young MASTER!!]
Dana happily leapt and hugged Adrian tightly and let out the tears of happiness.
(...Young Master really likes me too!...so happy~...)
The two were in their own dreamland, until a shout interrupted their reunion.
[AAAAHHH! Let go of my big BROTHER!!]
An unfilial brother was discovered by his brocon sister.
