After she approached quickly approached and was surprised to see a man. When she looked closely, Lulabay was surprised as she realized that the man was Ethan, who had a face full of mud. He was sitting on the ground with his legs in the water, not moving at all.
Lulabay moved closer and carefully. She looked at him to check for injuries and found that his right thigh had a bleeding wound just like the one on his left arm, both were bandaged, but the bandage no longer worked.
He was looking at the ceiling of the cavern as if he did not even realize that Lulabay was in that place.
“Savior…” Lulabay muttered and then approached him. Her voice was soft, but it should be enough to get Ethan’s attention. However, he did not even react.
Lulabay moved towards him closer. She was getting worried. Ethan was acting weird, and it scared her.
“Saviour, are you alive? Do you feel good?” Lulabay said when she was close enough.
She nodded and then prepared to leave. Lulabay was scared to do her task. Aside from that, she was scared that Ethan would be no more before she returned.So before leaving the cave, she stopped and then turned around to look at him. “You will hold on, right?” Lulubay asked with unmasked fear and worry.Ethan smiled and then nodded. But it seemed it was not enough to assure her as she said, “Do not die! It would be a shame if I bring everything and you end up dead!”Her task was so hard, and she herself would not get back, but as long as the Saviour did not perish, then it would be alright. Lulubay trusted this in her heart, and that was the only thing that she wanted to believe and nothing more.“Yes, I promise,” The man said with an assuring smile. Ethan tried as much as possible to move, he wanted to lift his hand to wave bye at her at least, but that’s easier said than done. Instead, he nodded once more.<
She then added while glaring at him, “They can’t even take good care of our horses like they would take care of the kingdom… So what if it caused an argument and then sued to start a war. You remember the time―”“Okay, okay! Stop!” The soldier interrupted her despite his confusion and annoyance. With unmasked displeasure, he continued, “Fine. I’ll go get your stupid sugar. Sugar of what?”Lulabay sighed inside. She then smiled and said, “Alatria! And do not look for it in the kitchen. First, they are very busy, and second, they must be in the warehouse. They are not marked, but you recognize them by the brightness, although not the brightness under torchlight does not make that mistake you could bring bicarbonate... that would be a disaster….”The exasperated soldier saw his companion that he was smiling and said, “Wait... you know you go find her yourself, but be quick, it can&rsquo
The Captain’s words came out with hatred, and Lulabay hoped she was joking.If she was speaking the truth, Lulabay was only thankful that she was the one who went to the Palace instead of Ethan, who was already heavily injured.With that in mind, there was no way to be able to get out alive against these blood-thirsty soldiers like this Captain.At that moment, Lulabay’s thoughts were halted as Elena raised her sword, ready to attack. Elena yelled in disdain, “Appear, you damn coward, let me cut you off!”Just as she spoke, Elena sliced through the air, which passed near Lulabay.Lulabay’s were wide with fright, but she couldn’t even breathe. She could not let Elena get notice of her!“Show yourself! You can’t escape!” When the Captain raised her sword again, a soldier said, “Captain! The King is calling for you!”Elena paused and then nodded through gritted teeth. Her
While completely being cautious, Elena walked through the kick towards the stable.The guards were in their places, and when she passed, they greeted and saluted her respectfully.As her boots stepped on the mud, she wondered how Ethan had managed to walk on the hall and not fill it with mud.As she wandered into the stable where the horses were eating, she saw a girl. Elena laughed due to the way the girl was moving. The girl looked exhausted, and she was carrying a box of hay from a place to the point where the horses were eating.When the girl saw the captain, she got scared and released the box she was carrying. She then kneeled on the ground as a respectful greeting.Elena felt proud. That was the correct reaction of any servant in the palace that was on the lowest ranking.“Listen, maid, haven’t you seen anything strange in this place?” Elena asked her hands at her back.“No ma’am, not
Elena’s footsteps sounded so loud that it was not surprising for her to get attention. But she didn’t care even when the silence in the castle made its sound echo even more.The only ones still awake at that time of night were the soldiers who made their rounds. There were also the servants outside. Nevertheless, Elena knew that she couldn’t create so much ruckus as the king might be disturbed as wellStill, Elena walked with speed. When she arrived at her destination, she kicked the door of the maids’ bedroom suddenly, and the noise woke them up.They all look at Elena terrified, but immediately they all bowed when she took the maid who had cleaned her boots by the neck, raised her from the floor, and hit the wall. “What’s the name of the girl I sent to the stables?!” Elena demanded.The woman could not breathe, much less speak, and Elena, possessed by her anger, released her so that she fell to the
She looked at him and nodded, and she already knew that he would say something like that. While looking at him, she said, “Look, tomorrow they will go to the temple for the blessings, and then they will go to the regent’s tour. If they go on the regent’s tour, you will not be able to reach her, she will go for ten weeks to establish her reign, and there is no way that you will follow her in that time.”Ethan glanced at her and nodded. He had a thoughtful expression on his face as he decided that it had to be the next day.Then, smiling, he looked in front of her and said, “I didn’t think you were going to do so much for me after this. But I really appreciate it.” That was the truth. If not for Lulabay, he was so sure that he would be long dead.Lulabay shook her head and then replied with a smile, “I’m not doing so much for you, and you plan to face the entire army for her. That is impressive.”E
The king applauded while looking at Elena with a wide smile. He then praised loudly, “Bravo! Excellent work, Elena. You have done a great job. Tomorrow when the moron of the savior shows up, you will kill him, and everything will be fine for us!”The young woman nodded, and the king walked away with total happiness. It was his way to say that he was leaving the rest of the work for Elena to handle.But before leaving, he said, “Send a statement to the northern troops, let them say we caught a spy!”Elena nodded and then looked at the poor girl. She smiled so wide as she walked towards Lulabay.“It’s time to talk, miss!” Elena said with a confident grin.Lulabay was scared of what would happen to her next. She would not betray Ethan, and because of that, Elena would surely make things difficult for her.She still had a hidden pill, but she wouldn’t use it. She would keep it in case they decided
When Ethan heard what the soldier had said, his back suddenly stiffened. Execution. That was the word that he really dreaded.The young man looked up, terrified. He was sweating so bad with worry as he looked towards the castle. In his mind, he was thinking of ways to save Lulubay. However, a part of him was worried that he did not have the capability to do so!With that possibility, Ethan knew that he needed to know more. So he continued to listen to the conversation.“Mrs. Elena is going to execute her at the same time that the queen gives her speech. I think it is so as not to attract too much attention from her. However, she will do it in the square,” the guard continued casually talking as if life was not involved at all.Ethan gritted his teeth and glared at the soldiers. He thought about taking that soldier and questioning him, but that would reveal his position, and now he knew that more than ever, he needed to be invisible. It was his
