Chapter 109: Love in war (2/2)

”Hey Mirza, will you marry me?” Once again she was stunned speechless. Who could have thought I can see her make that rare expression twice in one night. Tears started flowing down her beautiful face.

”I'm a warbeast you know?!” I wiped her tears with my finger.

”It doesn't matter.”

”We would need to leave this village.”

”I can go anywhere with you.”

”You might not see any humans again.”

”All I need is you.” Mirza holding back her tears started wailing in my chest.

”So Mirza is that a yes?”

”Yes! Let's get married!”

The following day we started packing our things. We were going to cross the borders into the demon empire, where we can live together openly.

Yet as if fate was against us, somebody knocked at my door. I looked out my window, it was some soldiers. Have they found out about Mirza? I looked at Mirza she was looking at me anxiously.

”Mr. Jericho open the door! We wish to speak to you about some rumors.” The soldiers knocked harder. Shit! Shit! We need to get out of here. I took Mirza's hand and went out through the back window.

Somehow expecting it, there were guards stationed here as well. Noticing us they started screaming. ”Hey there they are, he really had a warbeast with him!” Pulling Mirza I ran with all my might.

We headed toward the open fields pass here will be the checkpoint into the demon empire. The soldiers were right behind us, even wearing full-bodied armor how can they run so fast!?

One of them started ting, Shit! He was going to use magic! A huge javelin like ice was heading towards us. It was aimed at Mirza! I pushed her aside and closed my eyes waiting for the ice to hit me. Yet it never came, I opened my eyes and in front of me, a man with blazing red hair stood. The soldiers looked at him shivering. Above the man with hair the color of blood was a black dragon!

The man looked at me and asked ”Are you alright?” I nodded in response. ”Good.”

The man then directed his attention at the soldiers who were shivering in his presence.

”You soldiers from the Northern kingdom leave now and I won't chase you... But if you attack me, only death awaits.” In hearing what the red-haired man said the soldiers started fleeing.

”Kukuku, you should have killed them Edge. Have you gone soft on me?”

”No, he has not! Brother is just really kind that's why.”

I heard the voices of two girls; they were riding on the dragon. Also, the name they mentioned, Edge! That was the name of the greatest traitor, the hero of the non-humans.

I looked at him; he was wearing a white cape and simple clothes made of cloth. He was not wearing armor and was wearing something so casual on the battlefield. Yet the presence he had was incredible, it was like he came out of a fairy tale. Mirza held my hand, I looked at her relief was shown on her face.

I and Mirza bowed in front of the hero ”Thank you!”

He looked at both of us and smiled. ”No need for thanks.”

After saying so the hero jumped onto the back of the dragon and flew away. The direction they were heading toward was the capital Shura.

Once I and Mirza reached the demon empire, we heard a rumor that someone was attacking the front gates of Shura with only ten people.
