Chapter 155 - Xing will always remember (1/2)

It has been half a day since we met up the Duke Dragonia

Ian: man your dad was really something

she said the thing we all thought

Seller: hey even through he was sc.u.m you shouldn't be saying that

Eleanor: umm, girls can you not say something like that

she looks back to see an emotionless Teresa. Teresa, she always has seen was strong-willed but this one seemed to be like a scared mouse.

Eleanor: (I always thought families would love their child no matter what...was I mistaken...according to Princess Alisha she was abandoned by her mother...)

Teresa thought to herself: father....he didn't even look at me...it was like I wasn't there...the only thing he did was butter up to the princess...hoping to form some connection in Pars...he then looked towards Eleanor saying that he is willing to support the church if they provide services for him...the princess told him that they were stopping by on the way and left soon after...have you fallen so low...

Alisha looked at Teresa and for the first time in a while apologize as they were riding

Teresa: p-p-princess no need to lower your head

Alisha: My apologies it's due to my inept that the Duke treated us that way...he didn't respect me as a knight or a princess...I'm sorry

She shook her head: No it's my fault, its due to me freezing the second he came in the room

this went on for a bit when

Seller who was in front told the princess to stop with his hand

suddenly a knife came at Alisha's face, luckily she barely avoids it

suddenly a bunch of people comes out from the trees attacking the group, while quickly getting off their horses they ready their weapons while being surrounded

in the midst of the attack, they separate Alisha

The most trained one goes for her while the others surround the others

Even though they were outnumbered they were fighting fairly well

Ian and Seller were childhood friends who trained together

Ian ran to higher ground and using her bow supported the gaps in Seller sword

Eleanor having was nervous she wasn't used to fighting humans...she felt uncomfortable and they could easily tell. so they would target her and more aggressive towards her

Eleanor: please stop this! humans shouldn't fight each other

they laughed at that but started attacking more aggressively

Two were pushing hard on her with their daggers and they were close to cutting her when Teresa comes at them with her swords and they jump back

Teresa: stop being naive!*She yelled startling her*”if you don't give it your all you will die and that will make it harder for me and the others to survive. They aren't bandits judging by their armor and weapons they are assassin... we have to hurry and aid the princess

She says without looking back. Eleanor grips tightly on her spear and charges forward putting spirtual power into her blade and fired it at the assassins. The assassins mangage to avoid getting hit but a tree was destroyed

”The hell was that”

Eleanor: I'm not holding back...I'll use the technique he showed me...

who he was no one knew...

As for the princess, the assassin is jumping quickly from tree to tree but she is repelling each attack as he throws projectors at her

This shocks him so he goes in for close ranges but coming close range with someone who was able to match Hak at close range was a mistake. She quickly broke one of the daggers in one of his hands and knocks the other one away causing it to hit a tree. She then knocks the assassin who tries to jump back with the back of her spear into a tree causing blood to leak from his mask. she then slashed up and broke his mask and held the spear to his neck

Alisha: tell me what you're doing here

suddenly a voice comes out of nowhere” That's enough retreat”

”leader, I can still fight”

leader: your no match for her! You lost

Alisha didn't know what was going on and who was this leader...

”haha, I'm impressed princess! you're quite skilled”

Suddenly he started growing hair...no fur on his body

he laughs like crazy and then jumps away

The leader was shocked at this...what was that form and...She was more shocked at the princess

Leader: Why didn't you finish him? you could have easily

*she turned around looking but couldn't find her

Leader: is that your idea of justice? Or are you just soft*she scuffed*

Alisha: what are you talking about? who are you

the 'leader removed her mask to get a better view on the princess...if Tenchi had seen her he would have noticed it was the same merchant he met in Pars...

Alisha wasn't able to find where she was as she left

-------------------

They arrive at the Xing...the air seemed intense for some reason...

they heard whispering about missing people...

”who are they?”
