"Shall we head off now… princess?"
"Shut up! Don't call that! My na is Hepha, and you shall call by that na only, understood?!" I shouted, but she still refused to comply.
"Let us head off now, Princess Hepha,"
"Th-this bitch… I'm going to murder you once we get out of here! OKAY!? GOT IT?!" I shouted before storming off into the distance, taking the training wooden sword with .
DAMMIT! WHERE IS MY FREEDOM IF I'M CONSTANTLY UNDER SOBODY'S WATCH!?
…
TING TING TING TING
"Princess, this is the third day since we've left, and you've already tried to kill . Just admit I'm stronger than you, and we can have a peaceful journey," The woman said, but I refused to give up in my climb for freedom.
And! AND! Having sobody with constantly watching over wasn't the freedom that I desired!
"JUST DIE ALREADY!" I shouted before summoning one hundred royal siren guards with the rest of my mana… only for them to get wiped out by a circular slash from the woman.
"Princess, let us have so dinner. You must be hungry. My job is to keep you alive, and cooking you decent als is part of the job… The kingdom has done so much for , and I am willing to sacrifice my life for it, so a little banter like this is nothing to . Just give up and sit pretty like the princess you are,"
"Sh-Shut up! And stop calling princess! Never call that na title again!" I shouted back before charging in with the last remaining bits of my stamina.
But, just as I was about to strike, I felt my consciousness slip out of my grasp, causing to topple onto the snowy ground and get a mouthful of snow.
…
"Are you now awake?" a sweet voice asked as I slowly began to wake up, and the silhouette of my mother sat in front of .
"M-Mom? Is that y- GODDAMMIT! Who said you could take care of !" I shouted after realizing the silhouette was actually that of the knight ant to protect .
"Excuse , but my na is Quincy. Please do not call that ever again," The woman said before handing a skewer with so at on it.
But, I quickly created a sword made of smoke and stabbed straight at her face, nearly plucking one of those eyes out.
"*sigh*... Now listen up. I'm done with your bitching… in fact, I could kill you right here and now since you're no longer in the kingdom. So, how about you act like the princess you are and stay quiet while your parents do everything for you… okay?" The woman demanded as my own blade pressed up against my neck.
"Get off of !" I shouted, but the knight refused to unlock my arms that were pinned above my head.
"QUIET!" She shouted, and her voice was so loud that I was stunned in place, unable to move or speak as I glared at her.
She then unlocked my hands from atop my head, and as she returned to the campfire, I just sat there, sulking to myself as the woman enjoyed her al.
"Hey! Do you think I'm the reason my mom left? Was it because I was too annoying and petty?" I asked, hoping for the woman to show a mont of weakness and console , but…
"Probably. I couldn't care. Both of my parents died after planning a rebellion against the corrupt queen and king,"
My eyebrows unfurrowed, and my eyes shifted away from the woman as a wave of guilt flowed through .
"Sorry," I muttered.
"Oho? You were trying to get to feel bad, and now you're the one feeling bad? How does it feel?" The woman smirked, and I quickly flung a dagger of smoke straight at her, which she, of course, ended up catching with just two fingers.
"Shut up!"
Suddenly, the woman stood up and slowly approached , so I got ready to defend myself with two smokey daggers.
But, her overwhelming pressure and bloodlust were far above mine and leagues above anybody I had ever encountered before. It might've even rivaled my mother's.
I could no longer keep a stern expression as the unbridled amount of fear flowed through , causing to begin violently shaking with fear.
My legs had gone numb, and even though I just barely managed to keep the daggers close to , they would be useless if she made a move.
"S-Stay away," I managed to squeak out, but the woman pressed forward and kicked my daggers to the side.
Her bloodlust mixed with the scent of her perfu lingered in the air, making choke up as she pushed back onto the ground.
Slight tears rolled down my face as I truly felt a threatening fear for the first ti in my life.
As I was pressed against the soft snow, my arms locked above my head once again, the woman grabbed my chin and tilted my head upwards.
"Now, do you see the true difference between our skills? How easily could I kill you if need be?"
"G-Get off of ," I stuttered, but the woman refused to let go as she pressed her chest up against , and I couldn't help but let out a soft blush.
"What a naughty pervert… You're about to get killed, and you're still thinking of my boobs," The knight chuckled before suddenly letting go and returning to the campfire once more, leaving to drown in my own sha.
"Y-You won't kill , right?"
"Not if you be a good girl and stay obedient~,"
"Don't talk down on like that. I'm royalty, and you should talk to with respect," I instantly refuted but her bloodlust quickly made shut up.
A long awkward silence persisted between us until the woman brought up sothing strange.
"I heard you like won, huh?"
"Yeah? A-And what about it?"
"Well, I heard you recently broke up with your girlfriend, so I was thinking you might be lonely. If you ever need sobody to sleep with, I'm right here. It's also a duty of my knightly job," The woman smirked yet again, but this ti I couldn't help but be angry at her.
"Sorry, but you're not my type,"
"Oh? Am I not pretty? Or do I not et your royal requirents?"
"No, I just don't like doms… I'd rather have sobody who listens to rather than sobody who wants to control ,"
"Miss, not everything is about sex. In daily life, there are no roles such as a dom or sub… so, just pick sobody you like-"
FWOOSH… TING
"Princess, please step back," The woman said as a tal knife nearly slit my throat.
"How brave of you two. One is a princess of a country at war while one is a dirty little traitor who swore their loyalty to the enemy," A deep voice announced, and when I looked up, I saw a frost drake man and his henchn standing on the large branches of the surrounding icy trees.
"I-I can help," I muttered, but my knight's expression was so serious that I couldn't help but listen to her just this once.
All of a sudden, the frost drakes in the trees disappeared, and a flash of ice nearly ripped my body in half.
If it wasn't for the knight protecting , I would've certainly died.
This ti hundreds of flashes of ice crossed my vision, and the knight before deflected all of them, her arm practically disappearing with her insane speed.
"As expected of the captain. You are as strong as ever," The deep voice cackled once again before a large flash of ice reached my stomach, just barely scratching it.
"Oomf… *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough*..."
But that scratch would've turned into a massive hole in my torso if it wasn't for the knight once again who stepped in front of … but she also had a massive hole in her stomach that was gaping and tore apart pretty much every organ of hers.
"W-Why…" I muttered as she coughed up so much blood that it dyed the surrounding snow in a dark red.
"Forgive . I'll have to show you an unsightly appearance," The knight muttered as her head slowly tilted towards and scales erupted from her neck and spread to the rest of her body.
It was a horrifying sight. A scene straight out of the torturous hell my mother would always tell in stories.
Blood sprayed everywhere, and as my knight returned to her original form, the surrounding trees, made from ice and snow below us, were painted in a dark red color.
Everything in sight was bloodied and beaten while I was left shivering in fear, as this is what would've happened to if I genuinely angered her.
"My sweet princess… shall we head off now?"
