"Oh really? E, why do you and Juana seem so nice?" astonished I asked Homer.
He was talking about the ranking here.
He said that only strong people can enter there.
"Silly, not everyone in the rankings is bad." She shuddered to laugh.
"Anyway, they're Filotimo and they're not bad. They're kind," I muttered.
Homer and Juana looked at me mysteriously.
"Filotimo? You mean rank 2? Do you know them?" Juana asked.
I nodded. "The three of them were kind to me, eh. Because I helped Froze when he died and then the three of them came."
I immediately covered my mouth when I saw Sabrina's eyes.
Omy, they said I shouldn't tell that to others.
"So you already met Froze?" Homer asked smiling.
I nodded hesitantly.
He suddenly choked and looked meaningfully at Juana.
"It's a fence," Juana said with a laugh.
"That's why. I told you we'll only talk when there's a need," Homer replied, shaking his head.
"Who are you talking about?" Sabrina asked.
"Oww, no, someone from afar," Juana said smiling.
"Your weird--"
"Saiko, Sab, Miyu. Mommy and daddy said we should know not to listen to other people's talk," I advised my friends.
"What? Seriously, Arrow?" Sabrina asked irritably.
I nodded and smiled sweetly at him.
He suddenly blushed and slapped me on the shoulder. "Don't pass me by with smiles like that."
He even widened his eyes at me so I just frowned. "Ay damot, just smile, eh."
Suddenly they giggled three and pinched my cheek.
I almost choked on the pressure they put on me.
Juana and Homer just laughed next to each other.
"Aray! It hurts!" I cried holding them back.
When they saw that I was crying, they stopped and smiled awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, you're just cute," Saiko said with a smile.
I rubbed my cheek lightly as I glared at them.
"Why did you pinched my cheeks! They're so red," I cried.
"Babe, you shouldn't have done that." We turned to Homer who had already turned to Sabrina.
I could clearly see how my friend's cheeks blushed.
"Yiee," we tease the two of them.
"A-What babe? Shut up!" Sabrina's tongue blushed.
"Why? Am I not allowed to call you babe?" Homer's question seemed casual.
Juana suddenly squeezed Homer and pulled him upright.
"Hey, that's right! Homer we still have work to do! I'm sorry guys, we have to go." The two of them left.
Homer waved a little more and winked at my friend who was already red.
"Panis ka, Saiko, Homer is already moving on Sabrina. E, you?" Miyuki's teasing.
"Epal you're really a tomboy! You who don't have a jowa!" Saiko shouted angrily before leaving.
"Hey, naasar?" Miyuki said in shock.
"Wait, a. I'm just coaxing, it might suddenly commit suicide." Miyuki even winked at us before chasing after Saiko.
"Fudge, Arrow wait a minute, huh? I just have to hand these papers to Jaime, I'll be right back I promise." I still can't answer but Sabrina ran away immediately.
It's up to you!
I'll just wait here.
While meditating I noticed there were rocks under the tree.
I quickly ran over there and stretched over the rocks.
"Wow, that's beautiful." In amazement I lifted the stone I was holding.
"You're really shameless! How dare you hurt my girlfriend, Froze? It's not because you're strong that we won't fight you!" I was startled to hear a shout nearby.
I quickly hid the rock in my bag 'then peeked there.
I was stunned to see a battalion of men in front of the frightening Froze.
"I don't give a goddamn care about you and your fucking dwarfs, Kian." I was almost right on the spot because of the coolness of Froze's voice.
"You're really arrogant! All right!" I gasped and flinched when I saw the men attack Froze.
Hala! There are so many of them!
What they will be like! They are too bad! Why are they working with Froze?
The ugliness of them all.
I quickly picked up the rocks behind me and stoned the men.
I turned pale when in shock they all looked in my direction.
Even Froze was staring at me intently.
"What are you doing?!" a man shouted.
"H-Ha? Ahh just! You're coming!" I kept throwing rocks at them behind me.
But they are like immortals! They ran in my direction so I was scared.
Will they hit me? Gays!
Before I could run I was startled when an arm curled around my waist and pulled me away.
I gasped when I saw Froze, he was fighting the men with one hand.
Because one of his hands was wrapped around me.
"Ahh!" I cried when I saw we would have been struck with wood.
But Froze was very smart and fast because he dodged all the attacks on us.
Partida still hugged me.
I felt his arms tighten around me when I saw that the rest of the men were holding weapons.
"M-We're going to die, we're going to die," I whispered fearfully to Froze.
It looked down and sneered at me.
I could feel the redness on my cheeks because of his grin.
How handsome he is!
It was as if I could see nothing but his handsome face.
I didn't even notice that he knocked down all the men around us.
I quickly let go of him and looked around in shock.
"Wow! You're cool!" I even slightly slapped him on the chest in amazement.
I could clearly see him staring at me, deeply.
I was swallowed. "S-I'm sorry, I came out--"
I stopped speaking when I felt something hit my head.
"Fuck!" I heard Froze mutter before something knocked me down behind me.
I clung so tightly to his shoulder because of the thread.
He quickly hugged me around the waist.
Before I finally fell, he caught me.
That was the last I saw before it got dark around me.
"How's the princess, Sinco?" the old man asked the newcomer.
"I already asked Victoria and Henry, Emperor. They transferred the princess to Knights IV University," the man politely replied.
It was as if the thorn in the Emperor's throat had been pulled out. Atleast he's sure that the princess will be safe.
"Thank you, Sinco. I hope you keep an eye on her, I want to check if she's doing fine," he said worriedly.
"I already assigned my men in different fields, Emperor. But your knight told us to stay away from the princess. He will take care of it," the man explained to the Emperor.
The old man nodded. "I trust my knight, Sinco. I know he can protect my princess, but I still want to make sure no one hurts my granddaughter. Talk to him to update me everyday about my grand daughter."
A man named Sinco bowed to pay his respects. "I'll do it, Emperor. I'll try to talk to him."
"Thank you, Sinco. I'll assure you, your fiancée's gonna be back soon," he said with a smile.
"I'm patiently waiting, Emperor. And I'll do everything to pay you."
Arrow Perez
"What? You knocked the man down?"
"Probably not! The leader preceded me, e. He was really mad at the man."
"How not? Look what that fool did to our princess."
I was stunned to hear voices beside me.
I woke up quickly when I saw Filotimo sitting on the sofa next to the bed I was lying on.
They turned to me at once. "Princess ?! Why did you get up!" Hero tried to put me to bed again.
I was surprised to go to bed again.
"B-Why are you here? S-Then where am I?" I asked crookedly.
"You're here at our house at the University, you passed out a while ago, you don't remember it?" Ayce asked.
Passed out?
Hala! Of course!
"S-Froze? A-Is he okay?" I asked incredulously.
"Ha? Yes, that's fine! He's beating up the one who did that to you--" Filotimo and Hero suddenly kicked him, which surprised me.
"What? B-Beaten?" I asked confused.
"W-No! I said, he's coming!" he said hesitantly.
I just nodded.
Some time later we heard a door open. Those in front of me seemed confused.
"Wait a minute princess, we'll just meet. Maybe Froze will be in beast mode again." Suddenly they left me even though I still couldn't answer.
I sat down and leaned on the pillows behind me.
I barely squeezed the senses when I felt the pain of it.
Mommy and daddy will get mad at me. They don't want me to keep a secret.
"Get off me! Why are you stopping me ?!" It was Froze's voice from outside the room.
"Because maybe what you can do, you're still angry, eh." Now it's Filotimo's voice.
"You idiots. You think I will hurt her ?! And who gave you the right to stare at her ?! I told you to guard her outside the room!" I almost jump on the bed every time he screams.
I quickly went back to bed and fell asleep.
I heard the door open as well as the four of them entering.
"Oh, the princess is still asleep," Hero said sarcastically.
"Get out of here," Froze said coldly.
I just heard three people go out the door.
Omygosh! Froze and I are the only ones here?
I clung so tightly to the blanket that I felt the other side of the bed sink.
I also feel someone caress my cheek.
"Wake up, I know you're awake." I gasped when I felt his warm breath in my ear.
Blushing I looked at him.
I saw how he smirked before I slowly sat down.
"Do you feel any better?" his voice was so soft that I wondered.
Why is he so sweet to me? He also saved me earlier from those men.
"Are you alright?" I will ask.
His eyes narrowed 'then I nodded.
I can still feel how he put the strands of hair that covered my face behind my ear.
"Why are you suddenly asking question like that?" I almost drowned in the depth and coldness of his voice.
"H-Aren't you n-hurt?"
"No."
"Why are you so good at fighting? You were so cool before, eh! The men you knocked down were just like glasses! Then they still had sticks in their hands, but it's just easy basic to you. If it was me I might cry. me, "until I told him.
I just stopped when I saw him just staring at me in amazement.
"A-Ahh, no! I-I'm cooler. I'm throwing stones at them even though I'm scared, I'm good at it, aren't I?" boasting that I raised an eyebrow at him.
I feel so proud! I fought with rocks.
"You almost died there, ain't cool," he replied.
I'm just bored. "Aren't you shocked? They can be as many. It's like we're Avengers."
He chuckled in amazement. The handsome handsome he really is!
Who said he was scary? It's really scary. But why is he so sane now?
"Yeah, you're cool. Now lay down again, and rest." Suddenly he became rude again.
"Why are you rude? Did I say something bad?" worried I asked.
I noticed the softening of his expression. "None. I just need to talk to Filotimo, stay here, I'll be back."
"S-Wait, I have a question,"
I stopped him.
"What is it?" He stroked my cheek again.
"When I was at the g-gym. N-You died non. Do you remember me?" I will ask.
He laughed softly before I answered.
"How can I forget an angel that easily?" I blushed because of what he said.
"Thanks s-for the rescue, about what happened earlier." I was embarrassed to head.
He grinned before lifting my head.
I gasped when he kissed the tip of my nose.
"It's not the first time, my angel."
That was the last thing he said before finally leaving the room.
It's not the first time? How?
