"The lady had spoken," I told him. "Be a gentleman and leave her alone."
Edward's veins bulged even more, and his face warped in anger. "A noob . . . dare tells what to do? Weaklings like you don't have any right to talk to ! You have no right to even grace with your dirty eyes!"
Well . . . there went his handso face.
I laughed at the absurdity of it all. The man was so angry that he couldn't think straight.
Edward lunged forward, and I imdiately pushed Amara into Thomas's way. The woman stumbled from surprise, and my ghoul steadied her to her feet and held her tight when she attempted to run in my direction.
Edward grabbed my shirt with both hands. His fingers dug into my skin as if he were trying to tear apart. I looked up at him. He seed to be getting angry every second.
"You don't seem to know what's good for you. While I'm still in a good mood, you leave Amara alone, and I will let you off with a little beating. How about it?"
I laughed a little. "Leave Amara? Does Amara's complete lack of your existence conflict with your delusion of self-importance? Don't you get it? The woman is not into you."
I leaned into his ear and whispered, "She loves , and we already shared a kiss. So if you want to save what little dignity you have left, scram the fuck off."
Edward snapped, and I quickly [Teleported] out of the way when his fist slamd into the ground behind , cracking it open. The sound echoed through the area, making everyone jump.
"That's enough," said a voice from behind Edward. "You've made your point, my lord."
"You!" Edward shouted at . "Fight ! What kind of man are you?!"
I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing flinch, so I kept on walking away from him.
Edward drew his sword and was about to attack when his advisors stopped him.
"My lord, not here." I heard them whisper in his ears.
"It's not wise in front of this so many inhabitants and players. We have a rule that we must follow, and this isn't part of your fief. This is Asuka's territory."
"My Lord. Once a player had made up her mind, no town and kingdom could force her."
"I don't care!" Edward spat before another whispered in his ears.
"My Lord . . . contain yourself just this ti. You don't want to start a war with another house right here. Don't make this a reason so house Asuka could have an upper hand on us. Let's leave first. You can always find ways to kill this man in the future without dirtying your hands."
". . ." I wonder why they bothered whispering when I could hear them.
However, that did wonders because Edward regained his calm.
"Amara . . . ," he said, treating as invisible. "I don't know what dark sorcery this man did to you, but I promise . . . I will co back for you."
Amara shivered within my grasp. I didn't know if she was scared of Edward or what Edward might do to . Or maybe both
Apparently, the only thing saving my head from Edward's blade was the law and rules of this land. Even though the four houses belonged to a single kingdom, it seed that they weren't united.
They had no choice but to retreat first and plan so kind of a cri to place upon my head as an excuse to kill . Or maybe they would just hire soone to do it and kidnapped Amara. No one would care by that ti.
Who knew, maybe they would ambush us once we were out from here.
I stifled a laugh. You really like to wage war, huh?
Hmm . . . part of it.
I had been thinking about expanding my territory since I beca the lord of HAVEN, but with all the problems I faced, I hadn't really thought much further than that.
The problem was how to expand without making more enemies. But from the way I saw it . . . war was the easiest way.
