Not the Novel World
104. Journey II

All the way back to the Capital, Lilian fell asleep hugging Citto in her arms while leaning her back against the chest of Seint's field.

Seint exhaled slowly many times balancing his body while riding a horse. "Who said he didn't want to go near." Inner Seint.

After finishing all their affairs in the western region, they immediately had to return to the Capital to plan some matters.

After bidding farewell to the residents there, Seint and the others immediately set off for the Capital. The sooner they return, the sooner they dismantle the plans of the traitors in the kingdom.

At first Lilian was reluctant to ride a horse with Seint, but upon seeing Seint's sharp gaze directed at Zheyan, Asgar and Artem, the three became reluctant to ride a horse with Lilian.

Lilian had just wanted to ride a horse with Seint after Artem threw a glance that Lilian knew for sure what kind of view. With a heavy heart Lilian finally wanted to ride a horse with Seint.

Due to too tired Lilian was sleepy and eventually fell asleep by leaning her back on Seint's chest. Occasionally Seint had to stop the pace of his horse to justify Lilian's sleeping position so that the girl would not fall off the horse.

In order to always keep Lilian safe, Seint finally decided to tie Lilian's body to his body, so that if Lilian moves, Seint no longer needs to stop the pace of his horse.

After a long sleep, Lilian finally opened her eyes from feeling hungry. "Why am I tied up?" Ketus Lilian while moving her body to the right and left.

Seint sighed softly. "Stop moving!! I tied you up because when you fall asleep you always move ... It makes our journey so disrupted." Evidently.

Lilian pursed her mouth. "You shouldn't have to remember me like a prisoner like this." Resenting.

"If I don't tie you up then you'll fall down and have to undergo treatment like when you fell on a horse last time." Clearly Seint was balancing the pace of his horse.

Lilian shook her head quickly. "I don't want to be treated like before." He said as he looked back as he fell on the horse.

"You better shut up." Say Seint flat.

"But ... I feel so hungry. My stomach hurts so much." Said Lilian slowly.

Seint stopped his horse's pace when he heard Lilian's words. Seeing Seint stop, Zheyan, Asgar, Artem and the guards also stopped their respective horses.

"What's up, Your Majesty? Crown Princess moving again?" Ask Artem.

Lilian was embarrassed to hear Artem's remarks and chose to hide her face on Seint's chest.

"The Crown Prince is hungry, and the day will soon darken. We'll rest here tonight. Get the tent up!!" Firm Seint.

"Your Majesty." Say all at once.

After unbinding Lilian's body, Seint helps the girl to get off the horse and take her to a tree that has a pretty thick roof.

"Rest here first while waiting for them to set up the tent!!" Said Seint who was instantly taken in by Lilian.

Seint then walked towards the horse of a bodyguard then picked up some fruits there and again walked towards Lilian.

"Eat this first while the others are preparing food." Said Seint while giving some fruits to Lilian.

Lilian received the fruits given by Seint then ate them to just stuff her stomach.

After eating his dinner, Lilian immediately headed for the tent provided especially for rest. Not long to close his eyes Lilian finally fell asleep with a position hugging Citto in her arms.

Lilian wriggled from her sleep as she felt the movement from Citto. When opening his eyes, Lilian could see Citto in a position ready to attack.

There was a noise from outside the tent that made Lilian wake up from her bed.

"What's the Citto?" Lilian whisperer quietly.

Caitne ... Caitne ... Citt ...

"We're attacked? Nights like this? Then what about other circumstances? Do we need to go out to help?" Lilian asked in succession out of worry.

Citto shook his head slowly while staring intently in all directions.

By the time dinner was over, Seint and the others had already felt the movement of the people who had been watching them.

After Lilian finished her meal, Seint told her to rest in the tent immediately. Seint also told the Citto to continue to protect Lilian and give the message to Citto to never let Lilian out of the tent.

If their position was pushed, then Seint ordered the Citto to continue to protect Lilian and take the girl away towards the Capital without Seint and the others.

Lillian was worried and eager to see the situation from outside the tent but Citto could always hold her back from going out and bothering others.

Lilian's feeling grew even more uneasy when she heard the unrelenting sound of the clanking of the sword. Lilian could also clearly hear the cries of several people from outside the tent.

"Citto looks like we should go out to check on the outside!!" Said Lilian worried.

Again the Citto did not approve of Lilian's remarks. Citto did not want to put Lilian in the danger position as Seint had said before.

After long persuading Citto who still did not allow Lilian out, Lilian finally no longer heard the sound of the clanking of the sword or the sound of shouting anymore.

Lilian's feelings grew increasingly violent. There were a lot of things Lilian thought about, she didn't want any of them to get hurt. Lilian was eager to see the conditions outside the tent but Citto did not let him move even a little from his position. Citto even gave a look that made Lilian feel frightened and no longer dared to step her feet in the slightest.

After struggling with his thoughts from earlier, Lilian's tent was suddenly opened. Zheyan entered the tent with a lot of blood all over his body.

Lilian quickly ran Zheyan's collar and hugged him. "Has my brother been hurt? Lilian asked worriedly while inspecting Zheyan's entire body.

"No Lilian. Brother's fine." Zheyan calmed Lilian down.

"What's going on outside of Brother?" Lilian asked curiously.

"There was a group of people attacking. Along the way they have followed us and attacked when we felt we were off guard." Zheyan.

"What about the situation out there? Is everything okay? No one got hurt, right?" Ask Lilian streak.

"Outside conditions are terrible but we can overcome the problem of assault without serious injury unless ... " Obviously Zheyan paused.

"Except what Brother?" Lilian asked worriedly.

"Crown Prince ... "Zheyan's speech stopped.

Lilian's chest was tight and without waiting for Zheyan's opponent, she ran out of the tent quickly leaving Zheyan and Citto.

Lilian's breath choked to see the many bodies lying on the ground without lives in very bad conditions. Ignoring the bodies, Lilian ran to find Seint.

From far away Lilian could see Seint with a lot of blood on his body. Lilian could also clearly see the worried look on Artem, Asgar and the guards pointed at Seint.

Lilian could no longer hold back her tears, she hurriedly ran towards Seint while calling out to him.

"SEINT!!" Shouted Lilian.
