Chapter 171 Unexpected Occurrence (2/2)

”Your highness!!” Dimitri scolded me. He tore his black robe and pushed it on my wound to stop the bleeding. ”Please don't be foolish.”

My eyesight blurred and I started to get dizzy.

”Dammit. The arrow was poisoned.” I hear Dimitri cursed. ”Let's retreat from here. Fire the signal for retreat.”

My eyes went all black in an instant. Once I came thru we were at distance from the dome of light. I sat up and felt my wound on my shoulder hurt.

”Ahh…” I grunted.

”Your highness, please do not move or the poison will spread even faster.” Dimitri was just beside me. ”We are still searching for an antidote.”

”How long was I out?” I asked in haste. I see that my wound has been bandaged but the poison was still in my blood system that I felt weak.

”You were just out by a few minutes your highness.” Dimitri replied.

”What's the status?” I asked.

”The dome of light is spreading at a fast speed at first but began to slow down. It has enveloped a large part of the eastern side of the capital. Anything it touches turns into dust in an instant.” Dimitri explained. ”The princess is definitely at the center of the dome.”

”It's because of me.” I wallowed. ”Alicia saw me in critical danger and this made her magic powers go berserk.”

I stood up and looked at the dome of light at a distance.

”I need to go there. I need to calm Alicia down.” I said.

Then I saw the pendant dangling on the necklace around my neck. It was sticking at my bare chest. I remember it giving a blue glow earlier when I was in danger. I held the pendant in my palm and inspected it. But then I felt it pulsating and a soft blue light glowed from it once more.

'Leon… Leon… Where are you?' I hear Alicia's voice.

”Lili...?” I called out.

'Leon?' Alicia replied.

”Lili, can you hear me? Where are you?” I asked frantically.

'I don't know. It's all white around me. Leon I'm scared. I thought you…you…' I heard Alicia sobbing.

”Lili, don't cry. I'm alive and well.” I replied.

'Really? You are alright? You are not just a dream?' Alicia asked.

”Yes my love, I'm safe and sound. So please, please come back to me.” I pleaded to her. My heart clenched in pain just by thinking that I can't get her back from her out of control magic powers.

'I'm so happy nothing bad happened to you. I love you, I love you so much.' Alicia said in between sobs.

”I love you to, my love.” I replied.

Then the pendant gave out a blinding blue flash that blinded everyone in the vicinity for seconds. When we opened our eyes, the dome of light started to extinguish.

”Dimitri…” I was about to order him.

”I understand your highness.” Dimitri didn't need to hear my order and took some of his men and rode their horses to get my beloved.

I got dizzy after that and was out of balance when I felt someone supported me from my back. When I looked around I see general Robert supporting me and Richard was looking at me with worried eyes.

”Brother in law, please lie down and rest. You don't look too well.” Richard said and helped me lie down on a stretcher. ”Let us handle things from here.”

I nodded as affirmation but I can't rest easy until I see Alicia by my side safe and sound.
