Chapter 5

But I widened my eyes again when Storm and I were in the air, and we were falling together, he caught me in the air, he grabbed my left hand and hugged me.

"Young lady, don't be afraid, I'm just here to protect you." His eyes gleamed.

I am shocked by what is happening! How did he manage to catch me in the air?

I just stared into his eyes when we were about to fall but the fall I thought we would feel didn't happen because before we fell to the ground he hugged me tightly and his body spun in the air which is why I was also in the turning.

I don't understand why I'm not blinking while staring into his eyes because he's so serious now.

I didn't even notice and felt that our feet had landed on the ground. I only came back to myself when he suddenly pulled me into a hug, my lips parted when my vision passed the arrow that was supposed to hit me that was now flying towards the tree. The flight of the arrow in my eyes was very slow, when it hit the trunk of the tree, the sap of the tree splattered.

My lips parted as I looked at the tree that was dripping like resin, if that arrow had hit me, I'm sure I would have been blinded on the floor.

My vision was only cut off from that tree when someone suddenly spoke in front of us, so I looked back at it.

"Enrile, you really seem like an animal that is hard to catch, but this time I got lucky." And the old man in black laughed, there was something in his eyes that I don't want to define. His hands are placed behind his back. He has long white hair that reaches almost to his waist. He has a long beard.

I was startled when he suddenly shifted his gaze to me, he smiled, and what his smile brought to me was terrifying.

"And you have a beautiful young lady with you." he says.

Storm put me on his back. "What do you want, traitor?" Storm's voice was serious and not mixed with emotion.

The old man's face lost all emotion.

"You're going to die." And suddenly, he pulled out his sword, and it flew towards me, but I didn't notice that Storm had also pulled out a sword and this is what he made a shield so that he wouldn't be hit by the sharp sword of old stranger.

Storm suddenly pushed me back, so I was away from him!

Not only with strength, or swords, but also with their sharp gazes at each other. I can see the anger and hatred in the old man's eyes. While Storm's was determined to defeat his opponent.

"Look. . . The former student who was under my tutelage is now fighting me. You're just a piece of mud, Enrile." the old man further insulted Storm.

"Leonardo, you're wrong, then." Storm said airily to the old man.

"How arrogant are you, Enrile, do you forget that what you know now is from me." The old man's tone was serious and sharp.

Storm grinned and jumped and spun around in the air, and her loose long sleeves flew into the air.

When his feet hit the ground again he suddenly pointed the tip of the sharp sword at the old man's neck, Storm's head turned and grinned, he pressed the sword even harder against the old man's neck causing him to step back a bit to avoid he's too plugged in.

"I know a lot you don't know, Leonardo, You're crazy. You're just a rusty general." His eyes darted and raised his extremely shiny sword, it seemed to shine in my eyes because of the sun's rays, it still had a little blood on the tip. When Storm was about to swing the sword at the old man, the old man suddenly spun in the air once and kicked Storm's hand where he was holding the sword, causing Storm's sword to fly to the other side!

My eyes widened when the old man suddenly kicked Storm in the stomach! Reason to withdraw it!

The old man laughed sarcastically. "You're really young, Enrile. You have a big head, and you think you can blow something out of my abilities. Your brain is full of air, but you're useless when it comes to battle." The old man's mouth sounded three times while shaking his head, ". . .You're just a Prince's puppy." he continued.

When Storm looked confused, he straightened up as if nothing had happened, he smirked arrogantly and spat, "Is that all you can do?" Storm asked seriously.

The old man's jaw tightened and the tip of his sword suddenly flew towards Storm! I thought he was going to get hit, but he dodged like a wind at super speed!

The old man also moved quickly, and I could hardly follow what was happening because they seemed like air in my eyes because they moved so fast, I could only hear their branches, swords, and voices. I can't follow what's happening anymore, I don't even know if Storm has a sword in his hand because they are like air that quickly disappears from my sight and will disappear again!

When will their fight end?! And who will win? Who will go home bloody!?

I don't know what to do anymore! I just prayed that it would be over and that Storm would win the match!

But no, I thought was one of them going home bloody didn't happen because it looks like I'm the one going home bloody today.

I was like a stone in my position when I felt the cold metal on my neck, his sword was so sharp that it barely touched my skin, and I was injured. His wide palm wrapped around my entire body, including my arm. His left leg was placed between my thighs, so it couldn't move! I really have nothing to lose here!

My eyes widened as he pressed the sword even harder against my neck. "Now go shopping Enrile, yourself…?" he hung up what he said and turned his face to me, he smelled my bleeding neck. "— or this beautiful lady?" and his laughter engulfed my ears.

Oh, god, Why do I always get hurt?!

Storm seems alarmed by the sudden movement of the one named Leonardo.

I swallowed hard when I felt my blood rushing down my neck.

My chest heaved up and down because of the feeling of nervousness. Will this Leonardo kill me?

"It looks like your tail is split, Enrile? Maybe you're afraid of hurting this beautiful lady?" the old man said playfully.

Storm's jaw clenched as she gave Leonardo a sharp look.

"Then she is your weakness, Enrile?" He looks like a devil when he laughs.

But he stopped laughing when Storm suddenly laughed very loudly.

He was still holding his stomach, his eyes were watering from laughing so hard.

On the other hand, I was crying. Why is he laughing? Is there something funny about my current situation? I might die here!

Fear fills my chest, I know I have no fight. Because this old man looks like a former general.

Storm stopped laughing and looked down at me. I glared at him.

He looked back at the former general.

"Do you think I care about that young lady? Not one bit." The playful smile returned to his lips.

I swallowed again when he lowered his gaze to me again. Our eyes met.

He continued his sentence, ". . . So, you are free to kill her."

Anger filled my chest, fear filled my system, but I kept them from seeing that I was filled with fear.

I shouldn't have trusted this man in the first place! He's handsome, but he's a demon! He manipulated me! I thought he was nice, but it looks like I was wrong!

My teeth gritted, and I couldn't get rid of my evil look at Storm.

He was still grinning.

"Now go shopping, Leonardo. Are you going to kill that lady that you can't use as a threat to me?"

I heard the former general's teeth grind. "You still haven't changed, Enrile. You're still like your father! A selfish and greedy one!"

"I'm a greedy, Leonardo! But I'm not a traitor like you!" Storm's voice sounded like lightning.

My chest got heavier. Why can I read anger and sadness in his green eyes?

I held my breath as the former general suddenly convinced me even more.

"In that case, it would be better for this beautiful lady to die. It appears that there is a point in my coming here." his voice is like a demon.

I feel the slowness of my heartbeat, the heaviness of my chest.

I just closed my eyes tightly when I felt his sword buried deeper in my neck.

But before he could completely bury the sword in my neck, an arrow suddenly flew towards the former general! As a result, I got rid of him.

I will be late for what happened next. Suddenly, a penetrating smoke consumed the surroundings. Every time I inhale that smoke, I seem to be exhausted.

The smoke was so thick that I could barely see, I couldn't even breathe properly because of the smoke.

My vision is getting dark, I can't see anything, but only smoke!

My chest rumbled with nervousness when someone hit my pulse. He pulled me, and I don't know who pulled me.

When we got out of the smoke, it slowly dawned on me who pulled me.

My chest swelled with anger when I met him. I immediately withdrew my penis from his grip.

This man is a traitor!

Sweat drips from his senses, and his chest heaves from panting.

My palm flew to his left cheek. He was surprised by what I did.

His green eyes widened and when he looked back at me.

I pointed at his face. "You are a traitor!"

My chest heaved because of the accumulated anger in my chest.

"But miss—" he didn't finish what he was about to say to me when I led him to speak.

"How could you leave me alone!? And it's not up to you if that Leonardo kills me!"

His lips parted, and he seemed to want to say something but didn't want it to come out of his mouth.

Later, he knelt on one knee on the ground, which surprised me.

One of his arms rested on his knee as he bent down.

"I'm sorry, young lady. I only did that to trick him. I didn't intend to scare you." the tone of his voice was low, and it was full of sensitivity.

"Are you really apologizing like that? On your knees? You don't need to kneeled in front of me ​​anymore. Yes! It's okay! I was just annoyed earlier! You can stand there now." I ordered him. I'm still nervous as I speak.

Why does he need to spoil me?! It's like I'm a saint! He shouldn't have done that!

Just by his explanation, I can understand him. But he doesn't need to pamper someone like me.

He looked up at me and when our eyes met, he immediately went back to bowing.

Later, he shook his head. "No, I made a mistake, young lady. That's why it's only right that I insult you to ask for your forgiveness. I'm responsible for you, but I made you bait for that, Leonardo. That's a blasphemy." what he said was emphatic.

I gasped because he didn't seem to have any intention of standing up.

My face was inexplicable when I looked at him again.

"Are you going to stand there? Or will I never forgive you? If you want to make up for it, give me something delicious to eat."

He looked up at me and seemed to be assessing my expression. I fought to look at him and raised my left eyebrow at him.

He was the first to break our gaze, he slowly nodded and stood up from kneeling on the ground.

He shook his knee, and I just looked at him as he did that.

But I lost my attention on him when I heard a sarcastic laugh from behind us.

Reason for us to turn there together.

"I didn't know that only an unattractive young lady could bring my brave general to his knees?" the sarcasm remained in his voice.

He was riding a black horse. His shirt was black, and I couldn't see his face very well because it was covered by a scarf.

I felt annoyed at what he said, i'm not attractive!?

Storm suddenly bent down and put her left arm behind her back. Gives respect.

"Dear prince. . ."

My eyes widened when I heard what Storm said.

This prince in front of me!? That's why it's windy!

I almost fainted from nervousness, and my heart seemed to stop beating when his eyes flew to me.

The corner of his lips lifted, which made my nervousness even more intense.

"Didn't I already warn you to leave this place?" his baritone voice seemed to want to kill my system.

If I had a heart disease, I would surely be dead by now.

He. . . He was the masked man who threatened my life, and he still wears that mask until now.

I'm really dead.
