Bloody Eyes
|Bab 31|
The two weeks passed so quickly that even before dusk Luana felt an atmosphere of victory. Since the night of the coronation Luana hasn't seen Harvey. He did not chase after her and she did not care either, although their "covenant" was still fresh in his memory. Of course, she was hungry, but she managed to control herself with only noble blood and she did not feel the need to chase after the blood of the king like her degenerate lover. But it's not just that. He believed that most likely he was not serious and now he would definitely be with Aurora, toast in earnest - and before - what her lover said two weeks ago before leaving the room - her death, which would not have happened if it depended on Luna.
Putting aside the bloody fight he was about to face later on, he began to recall everything he had done these past few days. How Daniela almost strangled him when she found out what Luana had done and forced him to train with her every night until that day. He took her through the castle grounds, showed her every corner of the magnificent place and even promised to show her every secret passage of the castle within a week if she won the fight. Luana noticed now that they barely lived inside their new home. He had spent most of his days in the beautiful grounds and confines of the castle, but he did not care. It was better than having to be locked inside a room that was prone to Harvey and Aurora's arrogance. That lick! he thought while dressed and sheathing his sword. He took a deep breath, but even before he had even thought of leaving the room, the black wooden door opened and he turned towards them, puzzled. It was Daniela, who was now closing the door without delicacy, she seemed to be in a hurry.
"What's up Dani?" You look terrible! The girl came towards him, taking a breath.
"I was right when I thought you were leaving!" — he sat in an armchair in front of a nearly extinguished fireplace.
"And what does that have to do with it?" - confused.
"This has to do with the fact that it's still early morning and you have plenty of time to succumb to this madness!"
— I told you that I will not give up, Daniela! he said with a slightly raised tone. - It is useless. I will not retreat, I will challenge and I will complete the challenge!
— Luana..think a little, my friend! she begged. "She was the daughter of the head of the army, of a soldier!"
"I won't pity him for this!" It seems like you came here to beg him, that's ridiculous!
— I don't care about that whore, Luana! I'm worried!
— It's not my fault if he messes with me, if it's up to me, I won't even see his face! I'm losing my temper, Dani! He put his hand into the fire now he had to face the consequences.
— Luana, you don't understand that she likes this! Daniela stood up, raising her voice. "That's what he wanted!" May you oppose him and lose him. It's his dirty game. You arrive just at the moment he thinks he's getting what he wants, but the chips still haven't come down that he's wrong, that you weren't selected, but you're both promised. She doesn't want anything to do with Harvey at all. sure she loves him. He and his father were deeply involved in this whole plot.
"Daniel, I don't...
"Open your eyes, Luna!" Danny interrupted. "Please, open your eyes!" Be careful in that forest, he might set you up. He may use dirty ways to deceive you.
"That's what we all know" she laughed. “I don't know if you know, but the way she tried to seduce Harvey was by saying that she was the daughter of the gods, and by her reaction, her brother seemed to support the prophecy coming true. I was eager to see Owen's face when he found out about this...
- I don't believe it! Did he really do this? Luna agreed. "Silly girl!"
Luana sat on the bed, her head in her hands.
“Why didn't you say that before? - Daniela asked still confused.
Daniela sighed, sat back down.
"Of course I will!" It gives us the perfect plan!
- Flat? - confused.
"Yes, but you have to put your pride aside...
— If you tell me to give up again.. —looks at Daniela's eyes.
— No, it's actually almost like that, but it's not like that...
— I don't understand anything — said Luana between her teeth.
“You go out into the open, you fight it, but you won't show your true strength.
"I don't understand what you mean by that...
Daniela was silent for a while, seemingly choosing words to say.
“If Aurora talks about being a child of a god and is eager to keep him, we can take that hint. You must not defeat him in today's battle — Luana's eyes widened in annoyance. "Luna, understand!" I'm sure you can beat him, of course you can! But since he talks like that, you can use it to save your neck Lua! Think, think! Can you understand now or should I draw?
"OK," he snorted. - I got it! But I won't miss this one, I really won't! I can even let him attack me a few times, but I'm the one who will win. I'll leave him a fuss.
- Luana's…
— No use Daniela! - she wakes up. "Whether it is or is nothing!"
— It's Lua, because it's like this.. Then be careful!
Luana simply nodded and left the room, heading towards the stables. By the time he rushed south towards the forest, dusk had already begun to dissolve into the first signs of the darkness of the night. A full moon began to appear behind the dense trees. The indigo sky was now covered with a small bright spot - an incredible star. A cold wind smashed onto Luana's face with every whirl of her obedient black mare. The weight of the sword was now hanging on Lua's side. His mouth was dry, his heart was racing. Every breath was like fire in his nostrils, yet he still smiled as he sensed the imminent danger.
He couldn't disagree with Daniela. He was right about the trap. Was Aurora so lacking in confidence, so afraid of loss, that she used such a dirty way? Luana could not help but laugh in disdain as she crossed the forest path towards the open. The female horse stopped, the only sound that was heard was the water falling on the nearby waterfall and the rustling of branches and leaves on the treetops. Luana doesn't come down from the female, she stays there, just waiting. Waiting for the game to start. Start not only there for the previous termination, but for the eternal duration.
