Hanna's Warrior Queen: JWALA
“What are you looking at?” She asked noticing him staring at her as his hands wouldn’t let go of her arms. “Didn't you want to slice my neck? I am unarmed, do as you please”
He stared at her for long before throwing away his sword and he took a step backward. His heart was drumming and his eyes refused to leave her neck. Her wheatish skin appeared golden under the sunlight like a blooming orange daylily that he knew wouldn’t be there for long.
“Apologies, your highness.” He said those words, took a sharp breath, and wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly.
She was surprised but a smile crept on her lips. “Apologize only if you regret doing this.” She said as she held onto him just as tightly.
