"We are surrounded by bandits, sir! And their number exceeds forty!"

Surprised? Of course I'm surprised! We were suddenly surrounded by a group of bandits, even exceeding forty!

"You take refuge inside, I will finish them off" said Arlen calmly as he drew his sword.

Wait a minute, he wants to spend those bandits alone?! Just crazy! Your actions are like giving your life for nothing!

I quickly restrained his arm as he intended to stand up and come out. "Are you crazy?! You can't possibly beat them all no matter how strong you are!" I screamed trying to stop him.

But she just looked at me flat with her usual cold expression and then released the necklace of my hand on her arm.

"Please listen to me! I can't just leave you alone, it's too dangerous!"

"Then what do you want to do?! Can you beat them all?! Didn't you?!"

I was stunned and immediately silenced when he snapped at me, I had never seen the expression he showed me now.

Spooky. A word that can represent and describe the look on his face now.

Her sky blue irises darkened, her eyes glaring at me, and her facial features made me dare not look at her.

And again the pain came piercing my heart, I could only duck when he yelled at me again.

"Don't bother me, Cassandra. One mistake and we could lose our lives here!"

His words again made the pain in my chest become more so. My palms were tightly clenched until my fingernails turned white.

I know we could've lost our lives here. But I also can't let you go face them alone when I can just stay in here.

"You, take care of him. If he gets hurt just a little bit, then I'll cut your head off from your body" Arlen said with a deadly look at the coachman so the old man trembled in fear.

He then jumped out of this horse carriage and then intended to finish off the bandits alone.

The sound of shouting, the sound of sword slashes, the sound of sword eyes meeting each other, all of that I can hear.

I unconsciously dropped my tears. Damn*n! Why did these tears fall?! Why am I being so useless?! Why...why am I so worried about him?

I want to do something, but what can I do with this weak body? I'll just bother him.

After a few minutes, things started to calm down. The voices no longer forced their way into my ears.

What the hell happened to him? Is she okay? Is he hurt?

Question after question kept popping up in my mind, without waiting for my cue to directly open the carriage door and jump out to see how things were going.

"Mrs, you can't go out! That's too dangerous!"

I don't care what happens, I just want to see the condition. My eyes were locked on his back that was behind me.

His white shirt shirt was now adorned with a lot of red stains, his glittering sharp sword was smeared with fresh blood that kept flowing and dripping onto the ground, blood splattering on the ground, and the blood was still on the ground, and corpses scattered everywhere.

Horrifically.

Cruel.

He's like. monster.

An unforgiving monster to all its prey. A monster that can do anything for something it protects.

I could see him raising his head, looking up at the night sky sprinkled with millions of stars.

I reflexively approached her and laid her head on my lap.

His condition is very sad. The incision wounds were painted almost all over the surface of his body, his breathing was in a hurry, sweat was pouring down his blonde hair.

I wanted to help her, but I couldn't do anything about it. I'm not a martial artist to help her.

I am also not a doctor or nurse who can treat his injuries.

As long as I live, I have never felt this useless!

...🥀...

As per the terrible incident, we finally arrived at the mansion. Uncle coachman and I booked Arlen who has not been conscious since daritadi.

I knocked on the entrance of the mansion, and before long one of the servants in the house opened the door.

The servant was surprised, he immediately shouted to the male servants to send Arlen to his room.

Along with that, the figure of Anastasia also appeared and she also looked very surprised by the state of Arlen.

His eyes also let out a puddle of water that I had never seen before.

This time, his face did not look like a fake. Everything looks very sincere. It seemed like he was really worried about the man.

At first I thought he was the mastermind behind all this. But as soon as he saw the look on his face, it seemed that he was indeed not the mastermind behind all this.

Anastasia quickly walked over to me and then raised her hand to slap my cheek.

The heat and pain I felt as soon as his palm violently slapped the skin on my face.

"Diamond*n! If it wasn't for you, Arlen would be fine! How can you let Arlen get to that?! You are useless!"

On the same day, two people yelled at me. But I didn't feel upset or angry when Anastasia yelled at me and slapped me.

Because everything he said was true, I was useless. If Arlen hadn't been waiting for me, it would have been nothing like this.

And because of this useless me, he desperately tried not to let myself get hurt in the least.

The deg!

Akh, fuck. The pain now struck my head until I almost lost my balance.

I held my head, the pain went back to being so, and I could feel the cold sweat begin to run down my forehead.

"Mrs, are you okay?! Your face is so pale!" Elise who suddenly came also tried to stick her palm on my forehead, but I quickly brushed it off.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy. I'll go to my room" I replied.

"Then I will prepare a warm tub for you" said Elise.

I just nodded my head then rushed towards my room. I can feel Anastasia looking at me cynically.

But I didn't pay attention to it because I needed my rest now. Soon after, I reached my room and I cleaned my body with warm water that Elise was ready for me.

While lying down and staring at the ceiling of my room, my mind could not stop thinking about her situation.

My head still feels dizzy, but my eyelids don't close because I keep thinking about it.

And in the end, on this cold night, I still couldn't sleep.
