Five men encircled around me with weapons in their hands. They might be thinking because I am just a weak girl, only five men will do to capture me. ’Well they are wrong with their assumptions.’ I smiled internally. "Come now Princess, we don’t want to hurt you. Just put down the knife and be a good girl and come with us." The skinny man said with a sinister smile. "You must think I am stupid! I won’t go with you peacefully. I would rather die than be enslaved by the likes of you people!" I shouted with anger. "Hahaha, then suite yourself. Men take her, but remember not to damage the goods." The skinny man laughed.The men then launched their way right at me. I was ready for their movements and calculated my movements to dodge their attack.One of the men launched in front of me. I side stepped swiftly and hit him at the spot on his spine just below the head with the hilt of my knife. The man became unconscious instantly. ’Good thing I was able to learn the weak spots of the body

By the time I noticed, the boss was a few meters away from me. I quickly stepped back and between us, I made ice spikes that shoot up from the ground. "Aaahhh." The ice spikes impaled the boss’ body. He cried out in anguish and pain.The boss’ blood trickle down the floor. It seems like he was still alive but barely. His breathing was getting heavier by the second. "Y-You...are....monsters." The boss coughed out blood.“Who are you calling a monster?" Ragnar was now in front of the impaled boss. "Compared to you that takes innocent lives, we are the lesser evil." "Hahahaha." The boss laughed while blood was spitting out of his mouth. "At least... I will take that girl with me in death."Ragnar and I were surprised with his words. I can see Ragnar looking at me with wide eyes. "Isabella, behind you!" Ragnar screamed in fright.By the time I heard his words, I quickly turned around. I see the brawny man this morning behind me, his sword in the air ready to swing towards me. I was la

"This is not good." Ragnar parted his lips from mine. "If I go on any further, I am afraid I can’t stop myself from eating you up." He smiled.My cheeks felt flushed after our kiss. Ragnar’s words made me shy instantly. "T-Then let’s talk about something else. So we won’t do unnecessary things." I suggested. "That sounds good." Ragnar nodded in agreement. "Then what should we talk about?"Ragnar adjusted his seating position. He sat beside me with his back leaning against the bed frame. I on the other hand, was nestled in his broad chest with his arms encircled my waist perfectly. "You know who is behind the assassination attempt against me, right?" I asked him. Ragnar’s smile quickly faded and his expression became serious. He nodded in confirmation. "Can you tell me who ordered it?" I asked. "It was the queen’s grandfather, General Bruce." Ragnar replied.This I am not surprised. After the incident with Helena, I heard that my step mother the queen was under house arrest. I di

The sun was just about to rise when the carriage boarded by general Bruce and his wife left his estate.As general Bruce planned, they travelled light with only one horse carriage. Their fortune and valuables were taken in a different route out of the capital. "It’s quiet." General Bruce exclaimed with a confused face. "What do you mean by quiet dear?" His wife asked in confusion. "It is not yet day break, so there are no people out in the streets by this time." "I know that. But I don’t like it. It is too quiet." General Bruce gritted his teeth. "You, soldier." He called a soldier in horse back that was escorting them. "Yes general?" The soldier pulled his reigns and got near the carriage window. "Is the west army at the location I have ordered them to be?" The general asked. "Yes general. They are just a few kilometers away from the walls of the capital." The soldier replied. "They are on standby, awaiting orders from you my lord."General Bruce nodded in satisfaction. Once th

Not long after General Bruce escaped, the men of the west army surrendered. Their numbers were now few, the remaining that are alive were taken as prisoners.“General, all of those that are still alive have surrendered. They are all tied up and captured.”The captain that led the Midnight platoon said. He was a young man in his mid or late twenties.General Marcus looked at the captain meticulously. These were prince Ragnar’s men from Avalon. He has heard the rumors about the Midnight army that is personally led by the crown prince himself.It is said that these men were hand picked and trained personally by the crown prince of Avalon. These men’s backgrounds were unkown, thus they cannot be used against their own master. These men are sworn to their master himself, their loyalty is binded with their oath. It is said that there is only one way to get out of the Midnight Army, and it is only when you are dead and not breathing anymore.General Marcus has seen the ferociousness of the Mi
