Chapter 2: A Strange Encounter (Part 2)

Reimi's Perspective - 1 hour ago

They still kept chasing us, they were aiming for Her Highness, I was now sitting in the carriage with 10 guards and Her Highness.

The people chasing us were the assassins that were being sent here to kill Her Highness.

"Reimi! Give me a bow and arrows, I want to fight with you too!" - Her Highness talked to me

Please, my Highness! Just stay behind me all the time!

"No, my Highness! Just keep behind me, it's very dangerous out there!"

We were now chased by 30 assassins, but we managed to kill 5 of them while escaping.

I grabbed a bow that Hermann - my friend and also the one I secretly loved, gave to me. I started shooting at the assassins that were riding on horseback.

"How many did we kill?"

"About 10 of them!" - Hermann said to me

Suddenly the carriage stopped moving, its wheels broke, and it stopped in the middle of the road.

Hermann after seeing there was no hope to escape but to fight, he ordered 9 of his soldiers with him to go out of the carriage to stop the assassins that were chasing us.

He told me to take Her Highness with me and run to hide somewhere deep in this forest.

I ran as fast as I could while bringing Her Highness with me to the road forward.

We managed to find a big tree, maybe we would hide by staying behind it.

A few minutes passed, I saw about ten of the assassins had got out of the way where I ran to this place, they slowly looked around.

They were all searching for us, that meant our soldiers had died, maybe Hermann too! Hermann! Hermann!!!!!

But I cannot mourn them this time, I must keep myself and Her Highness to stay silent for safety.

Then one of those assassins saw us hiding behind the tree, I immediately drew my sword and sliced his throat, that man had died but we were now surrounded by the remaining assassins.

I notice that the number of assassins had reduced, Hermann! Everyone! Your deaths were not in vain!

But how could we defeat the remaining assassins with only two of us?

When I did not keep my eyes on Her Highness, she had been knocked off by an assassin from behind.

She had now fainted and there was still only me with the other nine assassins.

I risked my life by charging toward the assassins, swinging my sword with strong blows, repeatedly at them while keeping my eyes on Her Highness.

I was quickly exhausted, I tried to breathe while doing the guard stance with my sword.

Dammit! The sword strikes that I swung earlier didn't hit anyone but made me exhausted!

"BANG!"

A big explosion came out, I looked behind me and saw an assassin lying down on the ground while his head was spurting out blood.

After that, I was very terrified, so did the assassins, there was a man who came out of a bush.

That man wore green clothes with green spots on them, seems like clothes are made for camouflage.

He was holding a thing, I didn't figure out yet, a long metal stick with black colored?

Four of the assassins ran away because of scared, and the man also shot them all.
