160 The past came hunting II (1/2)
”Are you the one called Adria?”
When Don was talking with Joel, he suddenly heard a feminine voice, again. He turned and saw a black-haired girl with a longbow on her back walking towards them. Unlike him, Joel and Arrora seemed to recognize the girl as Don could even feel a slight killing intent radiating from Arrora as she stood there clenching her fists.
”Who are you?”
Don moved an inch away and hid Arrora's clenched fist with his body and asked the girl.
”Chase, the one who's going to kill her”
The girl pointed at Arrora
”You wish”
Arrora gritted her teeth and said as he frowned
”What's your grudge against her?”
”She hurt my friend, she will die for that”
He hated arrogant and overbearing girls like her the most but he couldn't make a move against her without knowing who she is and how strong she is.
”You and I in the arena, don't think about running away, I'll find you even if you run to the end of the world”
”There you are, Chase”
Another silver-haired girl came with a smile on her face and stood beside Chase.
”Are they your friends Chase?”
”She's Adria”
The moment Chase said, the smile on the silver-haired girl disappeared
”It's you who put Kate in that state, how could you do that?”
The killing intent radiating from Arrora increased after the silver-haired girl's arrival.
”Enjoy your last moments”
Chase said as she turned back and walked away leaving the silver-haired girl behind
”It took days from me to heal her face and bring her back to consciousness, and still the poor girl is so traumatized by the beating she took”
”You're a hypocrite”
Arrora said as the silver-haired girl looked shocked and surprised when she heard her
”What do you mean by that?”
Arrora did not repeat her words, she quickly rushed out of the hall through the nearby door as Joel followed her behind
”Why did she call me a hypocrite? Anyways, if I were you, I'll look for a way to hide her from Chase, once she stepped onto the duel stage against Chase, no one can save her”
Even though Don was burning with anger inside, he remained calm so he wouldn't get into any unnecessary trouble without knowing who these girls were first.
After she said, she walked away from him and disappeared into the crowd as he went outside to meet Arrora and Joel.
”Who were they?”
He asked Arrora after coming out from the hall and when Arrora turned back, he was surprised by her watery eyes. Don looked at Joel before asking any question as Joel excused himself from them and went into the hall.
”They...they were the guards of Brian”
The tears started to flow out of her eyes as she sobbed
”I...I begged them to save me...they knew, they knew what was going to happen to me but still”
”Why didn't they help me? Because I'm not a princess like Kate, because I'm not a human”
He had never seen her like this since he rescued her from Brian. He gently put his hand on her face and wiped the tears away. Even though she was trying to hold back her sorrow and tears, she couldn't stop them from flowing out. He knew that the life she had before he rescued her was a pretty bad and miserable one as she basically lived in the wilderness and slept under trees and rocks fearing for the people who killed her parents as well as the slave traders.
”Look at me”
She slowly looked at him
”You're not that weak girl anymore, no one can hurt you, it's you, who do the hurting now. You go one there and show that bitch that what will happen if anyone tries to mess with you?”
”I'm sorry that I brought you this trouble”
He shook his head
”Sometimes no matter what you do, trouble always finds you and when it does, you can either run away or face it head on, now it's time to face it head on”
He let go of her face and stepped back
”Yes, you're right, I'm not that weak girl anymore”
He nodded and walked away from there giving her some alone time but she followed him behind to the hall back again.
When the two of them got inside, King Edward came with Lord Clemo
”King Don, where have you been? Did you meet King Noa and King Mattia?”
King Edward glanced at the two kings talking with Queen Cassia and King Enrico.
”Come on, I'll introduce you to them”
Looking at them walking towards her, Queen Cassia and King Enrico excused themselves and went to talk to another guest.
