Northern Duchess
Chapter 14 Chased

Apparently the sentence that was cut was much more curious than the footprints or who the real killer was, just look at Melody was already beside Devian while staring at him with a look of hope.

🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠

However it is not Devian's name if he can answer the will of his Master when he is very serious about investigating a case, that was evident when Devian instead went to follow the line and left Melody pouting in her place.

"Humm!, you stingy bastard!"melody said before running towards Devian.

The further they walked inexplicably the darker it was probably due to the lush forest so that the sunlight could not enter.

Melody who first existed in the dark middle of the forest is quite creepy, although she often said that darkness is her friend but still the darkness of the house and forest is different.

In his house even though it was dark but safe, but how about this forest?, maybe if he was careless he could get caught in a trap.

So that with a shivering body, Melody immediately ran after Devian who was in front of her and held the end of the Devian's knight robe.

Devian himself did not feel disturbed he was just busy looking for lines, while Melody he continued to look around.

Until a shadow in the darkness scared Melody a little until she got closer to Devian, at least if it was a beast, Melody was ready to throw Devian to save herself.

Cruel indeed but who told you there were only the two of them.

She was afraid that Melody would keep staring back until she did not know that Devian had stopped in the middle of the road until she hit Devian's back.

Duk!

"Uch!, well why did you stop!?"melody asked irritatedly as she rubbed her flushed nose.

"Ah, sorry Your Honor, I see interesting things, are you okay, you can go back first, I'll be there as well"said Devian turned to look at Melody while pointing towards where she was going even though it was useless because Melody could not even see anything.

"Rome_?"melody's great-grandson she imagined if she came home alone and it turned out that the shadow was really a beast then who would she sacrifice?!.

"Yes, Your Highness??"devian asked innocently while tilting his head in confusion.

"Together, let's go home together" Melody said slightly trembling as to be honest her premonition started to feel bad.

"????, isn't it Your Majesty???"The quite sensitive Devian sensed that Melody was trembling slightly.

"I don't know, but let's go home" Melody said a little more.

"Wait a minute Your Majesty I will check in front seben__"

"I said!, go home!, yes, go home!!, why are you fussing!!"yell Melody emotion.

That shout was enough to make Devian surprised until he was petrified.

"Your Majesty there is ap__"

???!!!

Slapp~!

An arrow flew towards Melody, the unreacted Melody could only stand still as Devian suddenly lifted her up and landed on a tree branch completely.

Taps!

"What just now?"melody asked as she held tightly onto Devian's shoulder.

But no answer came out now that Melody saw only Devian's blue sea eyes that looked like they were shining, probably because her eyes were the only ones exposed to the sun.

"Suttttt~"just that voice came out of Devian's mouth while putting his index finger on the lips, after landing Melody's two legs on the branch, but still Melody did not release her grip, likewise with Devian who was still holding Melody's waist tightly, of course it was because the branch was very slippery, plus that Melody was wearing high heels.

Slap~

Slap~

The sound of the shadow pacing from one bush to another, Melody who heard it was silent with her eyes moving restlessly, while Devian himself now saw where the shadow went.

Before long the shadow moved quickly towards making Devian surprised and widening his eyes in surprise.

Trang!

Two sounds of iron clashing filled the silent forest.

It was fortunate that the shadow was about to launch an attack with the Devian dagger instantly fending it off with a dagger anyway.

Devian who was on the tree branch after the attack immediately went down to bring it with Melody who was still in her hands.

"Your Majesty is okay?"ask Devian worriedly.

"I'm fine" Melody replied fearfully as she squeezed Devian's clothes tighter, if only this fight hadn't happened in a dark place she could have helped.

But unfortunately the place is dark, do not want to help to see and know the location of the enemy he can not, he can indeed sword but fight in the darkness he absolutely can not, he can not, maybe if it's the real Melody she's capable but she can't.

"Hold your Majesty, we'll get out of here as soon as possible" Devian said as he held Melody again.

Like a Devian Assassin moving quickly to get out.

But as usual, things planned can not always run smoothly, after that on the way to get out of the forest many Assassin shadows were chasing after them while throwing countless daggers at the two of them.

Devian who tried to escape while mengis all the attacks were quite overwhelmed what else one hand now continues to hold Melody.

Tang!

Trang!

The set!

The sat!

Tungs!

Tang!

Trang!

"Aw!"melody screeched as her hand was accidentally scratched by a dagger that was heading towards them, it was a dagger that Devian had no time to block.

"Your Majesty!"shouts Devian Worry, although dark Devian can clearly see the things that are in the dark as well as the blood that is now dripping.

That small and fragile body was clearly shivering in pain within his embrace, he was furious, extremely angry, how dare they all attack someone who was protected by him.

Devian's hands were secretly clenched, he wanted to kill them all.

But his anger soon subsided when Melody's hand accidentally clawed her neck until it bled.

"Ah!, Your Majesty hold on any minute, we'll be there"said Devian who suddenly just moved at a speed that exceeded an Assassin so they really made the Assassins unable to catch up to them anymore.

From a distance now Melody could see the light, she was tired also felt her body crumpled, and tired from being carried on, so she slowly closed her eyes and regained consciousness on Devian's shoulder to sleep.

Devian could feel a warm gust of wind sweeping his neck, he also knew that the person in his arms had now fallen asleep.

Out of the woods, Delice was waiting outside.
