Chapter 18.1
I HALTED scooping water on the creek and looked into the part of the woods where trees are all full when I sensed someone looking at me. I put the jar down and went there. My brows furrowed when I found a familiar horse. It took me another step to find who the owner is. I did not expect to see anyone here at this time of the day. He had his grip unto the lead of the horse, seemingly to place it there at the tree.
His lop-sided grin greeted me with utmost enthusiasm while he bathed in the shock expression on my face. I eyed him from head to toe to make sure I was seeing it correctly and that was really him, in front of me. I cannot escape feeling attracted to his looks and charm, his posture and everything, as if feeling bewitched.
When I regained my senses, I approached him and hit him in the chest.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, nervously eyeing the surroundings for any presence. I was relieved when I got none so I returned my eye to him.

I put the jar next to the other jars nearby and then went to the armory, inspecting it. She followed me and got a sword from there, not minding how heavy the blade she chose. "You are the one who is most skilled when it comes to battling using a blade, teach me," she said, commanding. She tried to swing the blade upward but it did not reach that high. She only knew how to arch a bow because that is the only weapon Hamil taught her to use before he left for a mission. I know that she is too young to even hold a sword and that is not appropriate as her height and weight is still not improving as of now. She is not even on a level with the other children here at her age. I got the hilt from her grip and brought it back to where she got it. I gently held both of his hands and stared at

I STOPPED in front of the palace when I saw him going out from the high gates. His eyes immediately met mine so I smiled at him sweetly. He flinched a little when he realized that he was seeing me. Perhaps that I have done a better job at making myself more pretty than my usual.I spinned a couple of times for him to see my whole being. I do not have a cloak that covers me and I fixed my hair. I even have a flower ornament on my ear.He speedily went to me and held both of my cheeks, landing a quick peck on my lips. My face seems to have been heated because of what he did in front of the other creatures that are lurking outside the palace."You are so beautiful. I apologize for not being able to help myself not to kiss you." He inched again his face on mine but I backed away.

I took the two purses of gold coins inside my bag that hanging from my waist. One is the payment for the weapons that he will buy for me and the other one is for him which was from what I picked earlier to an unknown wanderer."This purse is the payment for the weapons that I needed while the other one is for you," I said as I handed him both bags.He opened it and smiled when he saw what was inside."We have no problem here. When do you need the weapons?""The next day. I will have Matias to meet you. He will be the one to take the weapons from you." I eyed the surroundings to make sure no one heard nor even saw us while we talked."Rest assured. I will immediately deliv

I CANNOT erase the smile on my lips even until I got back to our hideout. Looks like my eyes do not have enough of glancing at the ring in my finger given by Sevasti from time to time. It fits me perfectly, like it was made for my finger. What a glorious thing."Matias!" I blurted out of shock when he suddenly appeared in front of me. He followed my gaze to my finger so I slightly hid my hand behind me. The place is dark so I bet he did not see it. The thing that caught my eyes so bad I cannot help but stare at it in awe. "What do you need?" I asked with a timid smile on my face.He stared at me for a while before speaking."The plans about the weapons, why did they change?" he asked, seriously.My sight averted to Vivi who is s

HOLDING Adrina's hand, we walked hand in hand by the path going to the nearby falls. She forced me to go take a bath with her so I just followed her because the training for the day was done too.I furrow my brows when I feel something in the surroundings. Danger. I immediately removed the sheath of my sword. Good thing I have been bringing this with me wherever I go.After some time, enemies lurking in the background reveal themselves and surround us. There are more than ten of them. My eyes sharpened at the sight of him in the middle, Castor."We meet again, Miss," he said, grinning.I tightly gripped Adrina's hand and hid her behind me."It was a pleasure to meet you again, for the second time, Mister," I said, smiling with my eyes still sharp, looking at him. "I did not expect the gifts that you have sent me here." I added as I glanced at every one of them in my line of sight. They are not like the ones I have fought in Adrina's house. Looks li

IT WAS the day we received the weapons from Kahlo. I waited patiently for Matias as he is the one I assigned to get the weapons from him. The negotiation was smooth so I am expecting the weapons to be here by now.I saw his silhouette appearing from afar so I got excited a little bit and stood. As I see him nearing and nearing, I can also see the annoyed look on his face. And he has nothing with him other than himself and an empty carriage that was being pulled by his horse. I furrowed my brows and got to him as he unmount the horse.He gave me two familiar purses and said, "Dardo knows that we are the ones who want to buy the weapons from them," he said with annoyance. "He even threatened Kahlo to bring death to him as he had already beaten the man if he sensed again that we are buying weapons from them using him."

"HOW CAN I make sure that you are telling the truth?" said the Verdantes in front of me, making sure. Both of us were sitting on the chair by the table, facing each other. This is the first time we have met without slitting each others' throat. Things like this were paradoxically bound to happen whether we want this or not. This is noble of me knowing how he was indebted to me with all of his conniving deeds with the people of our kingdom. If not for him then I would have no reason to seize the auction business of those scum. The weapons that he would let me buy from them will also be the ones that will cripple their feet. I laughed at his question, treating it like a joke. "Do you really need to make sure?" I asked as the smile on my face disappeared. "Perhaps you have to be reminded who you are talking to right now? Should I, Dardo?" I added, blankly looking at his direction. 'Your life will be at stake if you refuse my wonderful offer. My patience

I GENTLY shove the curtain that was made of small crystals. It created a soft sound but it did not bother the men around the place who were watching as the women danced sensually on the stage. I was at the auction hall wherein there were women performing at the stage as a part of their program before the actual event. The auction itself. It was a place made of a large sailcloth to accomodate people who wanted to participate in the auction. This was located at the center of the discoteque.I fixed my hair and slightly smiled at the gentleman beside me. He stared at me for a moment and while he was at it, he shamelessly eyed my being as if wanting to lavish me. I was dressed like a noble like him, perhaps that is the reason why he was attracted to my charm. I removed my stare at him and just focused on the women that were performing on the stage.
