Chapter 48 A missing princess (1/2)

*This chapter will be in POV of Leon

Alicia and I were walking on the road towards the horse stables where Midnight was. I can feel that a pair of eyes were looking at us. I was cautious along the way.

We were getting near the stables and I can still feel the presence of the person looking at us.

”Alicia, why not go inside the stable first.” I said.

”Okay.” Alicia looked at me puzzled.

”Whatever happens don't go out okay.” I told her sternly.

”Is there a problem?” She asked.

”Someone is following us since we left the riverbank.” I whispered.

”What?” Alicia was startled. I gestured her to keep quiet and she nodded.

”Let's act that we don't know.” I said softly. I get my dagger from my belt and handed it to her. ”Use this if ever something happens, okay?”

Alicia nodded again. ”Be careful.”

”I will, do not worry.” I said. She was looking at me with worried eyes.

'She's so cute.' I smiled to myself. I pulled her close and kissed her forehead.

”Be a good girl and wait for me okay.” I said and she nodded.

I saw Alicia entered the stables. Once she was in, I turned around to feel the presence of the person following us.

'Under the bushes, at least twenty feet away.' I thought to myself.

I held my sword on my waist and rushed forward. The person behind the bushes saw my sudden movement and retreated quickly.

”Where do you think you're going.” I yelled.

I was now chasing the person. He ran towards the woods. He had a good head start, so I was a little behind.

”Flow of the wind, assist me.” I mumble my incantation.

After muttering my spell, I felt the the wind around me. My body felt light as a feather and I was moving even faster.

The person I was chasing was now in front of me. I kicked him from behind and he crashed on the ground.

I forced him on the ground and held his arms from behind.

”Who are you and why were you following us?” I asked.

”No! Please let me go.” The person was struggling to break free. It was a middle aged man.

”Tell me, why were you following us?” I twisted his arm from behind. ”Speak!” I yelled.

”I-I was ordered to!” The man was screaming in pain.
