Abigail pov contd
"I did not have any enmity with Lord Gerard, your highness. My whole family is in support of the royal family. And I am serving you, so it is only right for to be apprehensive towards the man who is trying to insult you.`` I replied calmly, though not whole but what I said was true.
He searched my eyes, trying to find the depth of my words, and then smiled.
"You are a loyal knight, the little bird. I will rember it." he replied and started walking again.
But instead of going towards the exit, he walked towards the opposite side.
"Where are we going, your highness?" I asked as he continued walking, ignoring my words.
"You should have learned to trust by now, little bird." he replied when I asked again. All I could do was nod.
'Do I trust him? Yes, I do. After knowing that Noah is the one I love , he had never crossed the line and if it's about my life. Our life was already connected by my rebirth.' so, I nodded my head and followed him.
We both crossed all the buildings, and went to the woods. There was a lake that was sparkling like rare gems. Sunlight was dancing over it, I must say he knew all the magical places of the empire. I continued to look around when he pointed at the tree.
There was a type of tree house. Well not perfect, but a base was there so that u can climb and rest over there.
"That is the place where we co and hide if we do not want to attend the class. And most of my knights spar over here, since they do not like crowds.`` He was showing his secret hiding spot? Was he not afraid that I would tell others!
As if reading my thoughts, he said, "you are my knight too. So they may ask you to join them.'' I nodded at his comnt. I was sure that Kirian would surely call .
"Little bird, after two days, the academy would start and then we would start living together. What about your lover boy then?" he asked, turning suddenly, his actions took off guard and I took two steps back to create so distance when my feet hit the stone and I was about to fall when he held in his arms again.
'Darn! It was the third ti that I was about to fall! Why was I being so clumsy today..!' his eyes looking deep into as he repeated his question.
"Little bird, you are sure that you are going to share the quarter with , right?" The quarter he was talking about was like a 2bhk flat of modern tis. Where there would be two rooms, a small kitchen and a hall to sit and talk or eat food.
"It is my duty as your knight, my master." I replied slowly, I needed to keep an eye on your food and activities too.
"Sigh, I have given you one last chance to run away, little bird. Do not complain if I do not let you go." he replied, shaking his head.
"Umm, by the way, your highness, are you still going hunting, if the academy was going to start soon?" I asked as I still rember the accident that would happen there.
He raised a brow at my question. "How do you know the little bird that we are going hunting?" Though he was asking it with seriousness, his voice did not have sharpness like before.
'Did he start trusting ?" I closed my mouth when I realized I had spoken my thoughts loud enough for him to hear.
He looked at amused and then started laughing.
"I have always trusted you, little bird. You are the only one whom I trust." he replied and then finally left my waist.
"I heard my father was assigned a knight for the event. If your highness is still participating, I would co too."
"Sure, i was about to cancel the event but since you want to join, i will surely arrange it well." he said with a nod and my eyes widened.
"No, I an it is not necessary. I did not think we should do it in such a haste." i replied, isn't it better to cancel the whole program, so that there would not be any incident.
"How could that be..? It was the first thing you have asked . It could be our first outing, a place where we can visit together.`` I wanted to beat myself up for the first ti by opening my mouth.
"Kirian" he whispered, it was so low that I was sure that a person standing at a distance could not hear him at all. But surprisingly two n in the uniform of knights jumped from the trees.
They kneeled on the ground and greeted, "your highness"
"The hunting competition we have cancelled, i want you to rearrange it for tomorrow.'' Both n looked surprised but they nodded and lost themselves in the dark again.
I wonder if he had so many capable people around him, how did he lose the battle so easily and get assassinated.
"What is your biggest weakness, your highness?" I asked , looking at the man with doubt. In the past I had always thought that he was a weak person but the more I ca closer to him, the more I felt that he had too many hidden possibilities and qualities. He was not an easy opponent at all.
But there was a chance that he had so weakness which was taken advantage of by him. If only I could know about it, I could protect him well.
He looked at with surprised eyes but then a smile blood on his lips, he took two steps towards and stood so close that I could feel his breaths on my skin.
"You are my biggest weakness, little bird."
