Vampire'S Secret Baby
|126|. I'm Not Letting Anyone Hurt You

"Please protect your highness..."

There was the cry of the guards who were hordes coming to the scene of the attack. They took out swords from their belts and massacred the heat that kept coming. They nimbly broke the arrows with a sharp sword. Arrows fell to the ground.

Annette first encountered the situation. Found himself very frightened. He curled under Egbert's body and his heart pounded fast. Anxiety is in a position between life and death, making his temples filled with cold sweat points.

Egbert lowered his head down, his eyes darkening unhappily at Annette's thin body that looked trembling beneath him. He knew the woman was terrified of the situation.

"They're there"

"Hurry after them!"

The arrows stopped. The bodyguards found a group of archers from a distance, as fast as lightning they ran after them.

At that moment Egbert rose from the top of Annette's body and helped the woman wake up. Annette's pretty face looks paled. His eyes blinked in the void. Egbert's heart felt pain at the sight. He didn't think his uncle would move so fast. Her green veins woke up as her hands clenched hard. His eyes were staring intently at the North direction of palace— the point from where the arrow came from, it flashed coldly and killed.

"I—it.ap-what was that?" Annette's eyelashes fluttered furiously when she asked.

Egbert jerked. Haras killed him so smoldering, it almost made him forget there was a weak woman by his side who was still recovering from the shock.

"They came to kill you" Egbert told the truth.

Annette turned her eyes. Unable to help, his huge black eyeball trembled fretfully, "Why? Why would they want to kill me? Do they know I'm a human girl? I-that's why—"

Annette's body stiffened as Egbert clenched her tightly. Annette could feel Egbert's huge palm coming gently rubbing his back. His heart that trembled in fear, slightly became calm because of it.

"Not because of that.."

Annette tightened herself further into Egbert's arms, "Then because of what?"

Egbert was still rubbing Annette's back, "That's because of me. They targeted you because of me.."

"What do you mean?" Annette pulled her face out of Egbert's arms. His head looked up, staring at Egbert's face.

"I'll explain more details later. Now I have to take you hiding somewhere"

Egbert slowly woke up while helping Annette stand up. But an uncontrollable fear and shock that had not fully recovered, made Annette's knee soften and she just slumped back to the ground.

"A-aku—"

"Let me carry you" Egbert swiftly lifted up the light body of Annette and walked away leaving the garden behind the palace.

Belinda had just heard the news, unable to help. The old woman continued to panic and immediately looked for where Egbert was. He went to ask the servants he met in the hallway. Until a waiter appeared to pass in front of him with a tray on which there was a glass of water.

"Where do you want to go?"

"I'll take this glass of water to the master room, madam. Your Majesty just asked me to do it"

"Oh, let me come with you"

"After arriving at the master room, Egbert immediately took a glass of water that the waiter brought and helped Annette drink a mouthful of it. Her other hand moved gently rubbing the temple of Annette which had sweat droplets. The way Egbert stared, it was far from a trace of emotion. But his body language, clearly showed concern.

The slightest movement did not escape Belinda's eyes, where the old woman who and witnessed the scene without missing her the slightest item.

His old eyes softened, Belinda could feel how much Egbert loved his human wife.

"Thank you, I've been better"

Egbert pulled Annette's head and placed it gently into her chest, "You don't need to hold back in front of me. If you're afraid, then just say afraid..."

Annette pursed her lips in a sour feeling. He was glad that Egbert could understand his feelings. Circling her two hands around Egbert's waist, Annette rubbed her spoiled head on Egbert's hard chest, "To be honest I'm still very scared... moreover, they were addressed to me. If you were late, maybe I—"

The cup!

Egbert kissed Annette's lips gently. From that moment on it did not stop fighting, it really made Egbert's heart slash upon seeing her, "There is no way, you are my wife. I won't let anyone hurt you"

Once again Egbert kissed, but this time the kiss landed gently on Annette's forehead. Her burly arms were muscular, bringing Annette closer to her side and her chin fell gently over Annette's head. Every movement, made in such a way as to comfort and calm the woman.

Annette lowered her head. Her pretty face looks red. He realized there were still servants and madam Belinda who stood there watching. They must have been watching Egbert's loving act earlier that treated him so intimately.

Belinda's old eyes caught Annette's timid face, able to feel the honesty and purity of the human girl who did not look a bit fake. It was different from Emma's delicate but cunning kind of beauty. But the human girl looked like a sincere and innocent kind. He really hopes his thinking is not wrong.

"I have prepared as you have asked, Your Majesty. There is already Helio waiting for you in a horse carriage that is commonly used by traders to transport goods"

"Good, madam. Then I'll be ready soon"

Madam Belinda nodded and looked at Egbert who had entered the room.

Annette had already changed into a pale cream-colored ordinary dress. The fabric fibers were rough, unlike the dress she had worn before. Her golden brown hair was already hidden behind a short black wig. Then he put on a black robe covering his skinny body and covering his head.

"You ready?"

"Already"

"Let's go!"

Egbert pulled Annette's hand and as fast as lightning carried her away leaving the red moon palace. Annette felt like she was on a broomstick flying by the wind, when she pulled Egbert to follow her running speed that exceeded the speed of a cheetah in the forest.

Egbert stopped right in front of the horse-drawn carriage that was mentioned by Madam Belinda. Annette beside her hit her chest slowly while stabilizing her breathing. He shook his head when he felt a little dizzy. It was good that he did not vomit from being drunk with Egbert's running speed.

"You there?"

The man named Helio was already sitting on the horse holding the wheel, "Yes, I'm already here" To hide Egbert's identity, Helio did not give any salute.

To further confirm, Egbert took a step forward and saw who was sitting on the horse. Seeing that it was true young man Belinda madam's belief, he no longer hesitated.

Egbert directly lifted Annette's waist and jumped into the carriage.

"Road!"

The swift footsteps of the horses and the wheels of the chariot that rolled over the cobblestone streets also broke the silence of the night.

It's already night time. The moon's silver rays fell on the blackened green trees due to the night's gulit. The entire hallway was silent and there were no lanterns of lights lighting up. At that time, it was indeed the most appropriate to quietly sneak out...

Leave palace.
