My whole body crumbled, I couldn't walk anymore. Everything went black, but before that... I thought I saw God.
Every now and then, when I opened my eyes from a deep slumber. My body would ache unbearable .
I heard very low voice saying I had lost a lot of blood and it would take a miracle to keep me alive.
I was severely injured, waking up to those pains were unbearable, I wouldn't wish my enemies such pain.
The next time I woke up my body was completely fine, it was like everything was a dream, but the pains were too real to be a dream.
The room I was lying was filled with the scent of herb, it was a bit dark. I raised my hands to my eyes, my wounds were completely healed not a single scar left.
I was no longer in my torn dress, but in a simple blue dress.
I took the sword on the table next to me, and I took it and walked out of the room holding the sword with two hands.
I walked into a room, where a man stood by the window. His hair was golden color.
I walked silently placing the sword on his neck.
"Who are you, and where is this place" I questioned.
The man didn't seem fazed by the sword, he simply turned slowly.
I felt my breath catch at the sight of him...
He had golden eyes and hair, his dark lashes rubbed his brows, pointed nose and perfectly shaped pale pink lips.
"Is this what I get for saving your life?" He used his hand to move the sword slightly.
His voice was..... The most blessed thing my ears had ever heard.
"I.. I.. umm" I didn't know what to say.
I lowered my head, but not long after I felt a sharp pain in my hands and immediately let go of the sword.
He let out a soft laugh... Music to my ear.
I stared at the man in front of me with amusement, how could someone look this good and still have such an amazing laugh and voice
"You've clearly never yielded a sword, it happens for first timers" he said handing a balm to me.
"Thank you, sir" I said with a low bow.
"No need for that, and it's kaylan not sir" he said.
"My name is lunara" I said
Lunara was my Elthara name while Kiara... my nickname. I didn't want that name anymore.
"Thank you for saving me" I smiled.
The silence between us was getting heavier, I was definitely not ready to give my heart to someone again but if he was this much of an eye sweet.
Then he had my heart.
The doors opened slightly, another man walked in.
"Sir" he greeted kaylan "pink hair, you're awake"
Did he just address me by my hair color.
He wasn't half as good looking as kaylan.
"My name is lunara" i snapped before turning back to kaylan with a smile.
"Sir Kaylan, miss Hazel is here to see you" he stared at me.
For some reason my heart ached for a man I had just met...
I didn't even know this guy, and I'm not love blind or foolish
"My name is Carlos" the other man said
I sat on the couch and the Carlos sat next to me.
"Well, I'll explain what happened.... Sir found you laying outside the fortress covered in wounds.. he wasn't going to save you luckily your hands wasn't that of one who could yield a sword...." He started.
"After several physician came and failed, a witch came to us" he said
"A witch?" I was shocked.
"Yes a witch, she said she would take you with her and save you but sire disagreed, he said he already took responsibility of you when he saved you.." he said in a dramatic tone .
And I played along "really, then Kaylan is extremely cool"
"Then the witch requested for his blood"
"Wait what?"
"She said it could save you and sire gave it to her. We don't know what she did with the blood or to you.... But she said when you wake up, you would be momentarily confused about your feelings towards him and the effect would leave in a week " he said in a low creepy tone
He isn't expecting me to believe that.
Witch, what was I? twelve?
"She obviously doesn't believe you" Kaylan voice echoed
I turned back "you're back" I smiled
He nodded sitting opposite us.
Why on earth did this boy sit where Kaylan was supposed to be sited.
I glared at Carlos.
"Everything Carlos said is true, he just said it in a dramatic tone" he said in a calm tone, my inside was anything but Calm.
"Ohhh" I continued to feed my eyes.
"Ayya, stop staring. This is the witch craft not you" Carlos blocked my view.
How dare he block my view?
I couldn't care less about what he was saying, even though it made no sense. I nodded that I understood.
"We are having a return party tonight, you should join us" Carlos suggested
"How many are you?"
"500 male soldiers"
"I don't think that is appropriate, a girl in the mist of so many Men" I said
"I agree, well sir, we'll see you tonight"
"Wait, I'm coming too" I laughed "I'll definitely come"
"What's a return party?"
"It's a feast we normally hold when we return from a battle and win, we should have held this feast two weeks ago but sire was busy trying to save your life "
So I've been out for two weeks. I wonder how Alaric is doing.
Well just to be clear, this Kaylan was more handsome than Alaric but Alaric was the reason I came here.
"So.. Kaylan is the captain?"
"Yes, he is the King's personal knight"
"Personal knight, then why go on the battlefield" I asked In a curious tone.
"It's a palace matter, and the palace is complicated" Carlos whispered as if Kaylan couldn't hear him.
The palace was complicated indeed, and I loved someone from that same place.
Alaric, I hope you have found what you seeked
