I can hear the fighting that was going on outside. I can hear swords clashing and men screaming. I can only imagine what kind of battle was raging outside now. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”I am sorry that I am of no help outside.” William said. He was groaning in pain due to his ribs being broken.

”It's okay. I am sure Regaleon's men are quite capable in battle.” I smiled at him to relieve his worries. I was still pressing his wound on his forehead to stop the bleeding.

”I just feel useless.” William sighed.

”Don't think like that.” I scolded him. ”You are my personal knight. Of course your place is here by my side.”

That is why I agreed to be left here beside William. Even though I want to go outside and help Regaleon in fighting, I decided to be left here with William so that he won't think of anything stupid like going out and fighting in his condition.

The sound of the fighting is getting nearer and nearer. Not long I can hear someone exchanging sword swings just outside the door.

My heart was racing frantically knowing that an enemy is right outside. I remembered Regaleon saying that their target was capturing me alive.

I look at the injured William lying on the floor clearly in pain. 'I have to defend him even if I use my magic abilities in front of him.' I thought.

Like me, William heard the fighting outside and tried to get up.

”What are you trying to do?” I scolded him.

”An enemy is right outside the door. I need to protect you.” William said while groaning in pain. He looked so pale while holding the area of his broken ribs. Beads of sweat are seen trickling down his face. His appearance just indicates how painful he is feeling right now.

”You are not moving with that injury.” I scolded him while holding him down.

”But…” William looked concerned.

”I am not that weak like you are thinking William. I can also defend myself.” I said while grabbing his sword from him. ”Lend this to me for a while.” I looked at him in confidence.

”Alicia…” William was looking worried now.

”William, I haven't told you yet about my secret.” I looked at him seriously. ”We don't have much time now but after this I will tell you everything, I promise.”

William looked at me with confusion.

”All I can tell you for now is that I can use magic.” I smiled at him. ”So don't look too surprised with what you will see now.”
