41 Chapter 40: A Journey into the Unknown 13 (2/2)

”I am talking about the Obsidian Princess” He insisted

Another princess? But how will I know, I am only a traveler.

”But other than Roushi who else do you mean by saying The Obsidian princess? As far as I know my sisters are humbly married into the palace, and I am only a noble woman. No one else has a title of princess. Not that I have known of, I bet there's no maidservant in my household who can pretend to be a commoner and abandon her title, that would be odd”

”Fine. You're of no use now--”

But before he continued, I immediately retrieved a dagger from my sleeves and plunged it in his body. His eyes turned murderous, then I took the chance to escape from his embrace. I whistled for my horse to fly towards the darkest part of the forest. The man in front of me tried to grab me, I sweep my sword forward and accidentally cut his hair.

It should have shocked me, but I only cut his hair. Yet he fell on the ground, his face held an ugly expression, as if he was in deep pain. I immediately fought through the guards who stood in my way. I climb a tree and jump towards another. And that continued till I reached the air where my horse is waiting.

I have been wounded not just on the neck part, but also at the lower back of my body. This is bad. I thought he won't cut through, but another dagger came in and stabbed from the back. The culprit? I don't know who. How will I? If everyone wore masks of unknown styles, and not that I have seen before.

But the only idea stuck in my head right now is to escape.

I need to get away from them.

And for sure they will chase me to death.
