17 Chapter 17: Knight in Shining Armor... or no (1/2)
Bandits! Luckily I have a dagger on me. I'll use skills that XiaoLong taught me! My heart pangs as I remember him. The bandits surround me and attack.
I get in position to defend, but a flash blocks my sight.
It was a knight. He wore plain armor. What's a knight doing here though?
”Are you okay?” he asks, not even turning around.
”Y-yeah, who are you?”
He smiles, ”Your hero!”
Ugh! A narcissist? I waited for him to clear out the bandits which ran away in seconds.
He turns around.
”Thank you,” I say, gratefully.
His face shows a surprised expression for some reason.
”A-are you ok?”I ask, weirded out by his facial expression.
”Where are you from?” he asks.
”Uh, Yue Kingdom?”
This is really weird… He grabs my hand and heads towards the gate into the capital.
”A-ah! What are you doing?”
”Hold on, this is urgent. What's your name, girl?”
I calm down. I can finally use my new name!
”YingYue,” I respond happily.
He looks at me suspiciously.
”What?”
”YingYue,” I repeat.
He grabs my hand tightly and pulls me to the gate into the capital.
