The sound of clattering steps was mutual, one ran dodging the one chasing tirelessly. Tracing the forest deeper without realizing if there is a cliff at the end of the road there. Prince Evandor pulled Emperor Alessa who was about to slip and fall into the bottom of a rushing river.
“Thank you,” said the Emperor sincerely.
Prince Evandor nodded and pulled back Emperor Alessa to hide behind a tree.
Emperor Alessa did not resist, she continued to follow what Prince Evandor did as well as test the man for his loyalty. Emperor Alessa was quite happy that her future concubine had not escaped leaving her. In fact, Prince Evandor immediately woke himself from sleep to escape from the bandits who suddenly attacked them.
“About who are they?” asked Prince Evandor in between his monitor around.
“I don't know,” sahut Emperor half sure.
“Are they the same plotters that attacked us last night?” Prince Evandor turned to the Emperor. The man saw the look on the Emperor's face that he could hardly understand.
Emperor shakes. “Should not be, because I had warned the man before we left the palace of Prussia.”
“You warned him? Who is he?” the Prince's curiosity is becoming more and more. The emperor himself felt unable to hide the identity of the person who tried to kill the concubine.
“Dia... is King Fabian. He hired a hit man to eliminate you.”
Prince Evandor's eyes widened. His mouth was half-open in shock at what the Emperor said. So, the one who almost made his head hollow was the King of Prussia's man. The Emperor's former lover. Now Prince Evandor understands. The man chuckled small. This distracted the Emperor's attention. ‘What is he laughing at?’
“It turns out the King of Prussia is not that great. He was instantly intimidated by the existence of a servant by your side, Your Majesty.”
At first the Emperor was quite surprised by the words of Prince Evandor. A moment later, however, he chuckled. “You could say so.”
“What happens if she sees your other prospective concubine?”
“Looks like he's going to hoist the war flag blatantly.”
Prince Evandor was chuckled by the Emperor's words which sounded very funny to him. But, as fast as the Emperor's lightning smothered him. Don't let the bandits catch them. Prince Evandor realized his mistake.
“Pardon me, Your Majesty.” Prince Evandor brought the back of the Emperor's hand for him to kiss. A man who is good at taking advantage of situations.
Emperor Alessa immediately withdrew his hand. Somehow the attitude of his prospective concubine began to interfere and managed to make the air around suddenly hot. Coincidentally the weather was quite blistering. Perhaps because of that, the face of Emperor Alessa became flushed.
“SEARCH THEM UNTIL YOU CAN!” exclaimed one of the bandits who reached the ears of the Emperor and the Prince.
They both tried to keep their mouths shut. However, since the tip of the Emperor's dress was visible, their whereabouts were known.
“DISANA!” the bandits shouted while pointing at the hiding direction of the Emperor and the Prince.
“We're caught!”
Eventually they both appeared and fought the bandits who approached them. One by one the bandits managed to disable them. But, the other bandit hordes kept coming back. Tiredness began to creep up, let alone the Emperor getting a cut on his arm.
“Your Majesty, leave everything to the servant. You better save yourself!”
“We go together!” The Emperor did not approve the Prince's request.
Hearing the Emperor being so persistent not wanting to give up even wanting to continue fighting together made Prince Evandor even more heartbroken. His life was saved twice by this woman. It felt like all was more than enough, if indeed his life had only come here for the sake of the Emperor to stay alive. Prince Evandor sacrificed his life.
“Please stay safe and get to Aegis, Your Majesty!”
“No! You must come with me!”
The Emperor's heart was as sliced as it witnessed this. The woman bit her lip almost to the point of getting hurt.
“Your Majesty! We don't have much time!” Prince Evandor held back the bandits who wanted to smash him with swords. The emperor was not free either. He was also fending off all the successive attacks of the numerous bandits.
Kaisa shakes. He doesn't want to lose anymore. He had to return with the prince, the person left with him.
“HIAH!
JLB!
A deep puncture on the stomach of one of the badits. During that time there was time for Prince Evandor to resuscitate the silent Emperor.
“Your Majesty!” the man shook both of the Emperor's shoulders until their gazes met.
“Prince,” he said softly.
“This one time, please grant my request. Go Your Majesty!”
“I don't want to, we face-“
Cup
Prince Evandor stopped Emperor Alessa with a kiss on his lips. He gently did the sweet chewy thing. The emperor widened his eyes and shook his head. Until Prince Evandor removed his face, the Emperor remained silent.
“We will meet again. The servant promises to follow His Majesty. Therefore, please leave. Slave will try to dodge and run after His Majesty leaves.”
The intention of Prince Evandor made the woman blink, she was not at all angry with the sudden kiss of the Prince. It was only their safety that he thought of.
“You promise?”
“Yes, I promise I will catch up with Your Majesty, because it's fast leaving now. So that I can escape immediately.”
With a heavy heart the Emperor nodded. He attacked the bandit who was about to stab Prince Evandor one last time. Before she rode the horse and left her future concubine.
“THE WOMAN IS GONE! CHASE IT! HE'S THE MOST IMPORTANT TARGET!”
Prince Evandor did not let the bandits advance to catch up with the Emperor. He continued to carry out attacks until Emperor Alessa disappeared from his sight. The man had thought since after hearing the words
the bandits. Their main target was not himself but the Emperor. This means that the plot was not the hand of the King of Prussia. There are others who are after the Emperor.
“You want to touch my wife? STEP ON MY BODY FIRST!”
***
Emperor Alessa drove as fast as she could with the horse she was riding, suppressing her sad heart and feeling guilty for abandoning Prince Evandor.
“You must Return! Must!”
He had to return to Aegis and gather an army to counterattack. Or even to do battle. Prussia has flown war to him. Emperor Alessa will no longer tolerate the strange attitude of her former lover. Not yet dry his saliva will not interfere with each other. But, it turns out that the King even sent a lot of bandits to finish them off. The woman tightened the bridle with anger at the end of her head.
“I'll behead Fabian!”
