Cataina was still looking at Helion as she still didn’t answer our questions on why she was here.
"Why are you here again, Lady Rigas?"
Helion asked as he looked at Cataina who was still blushing at while looking at him.
"I-Father wanted to join the hunt since he also taught how to fight and how to hunt so monsters in our territory."
She said and she even bow her head.
I almost choked when I saw her smiling when she was hding her face from Helion who wasn’t even looking at her.
"I didn’t see you wearing that clothes when we left, Lady Rigas. " I asked as I looked at her appearance.
She glared at for a second, but then switch her expression when she look at Helion while still not answering my question about why she is here.
"We were late when we got here as my maid forgot my clothes in the carriage." She said while she was still smiling shyly and sweetly at Helion who didn’t even give her a glance as she answered my question, but wasn’t looking at .
Helion looked at as he signaled that we should go and he looks bored.
"Can I co with you, Your Highness?"
I almost snapped at what I heard.
The disrepect!
I am still here and yet she acted like I didn’t exist.
"That’s very bold of you to ask, Lady Rigas."
Helion said in a deep voice as he looked at Cataina who still have those stupid smile that she only use to plaster when Helion was looking at her.
"We used to this one when you were in our territory."
Cataina said or rather whispered to herself, but it wasn’t soft enough for us not to here it.
"Pardon?"
Helion asked which made her lift her head again and there her innocent face again.
"We used to do this one back then, Your Highness. You and with my father’s people used to haunt back then."
She said while she shyly look down to hide the redness on her cheeks.
"I don’t rember anything you were saying."
Helion said to her looked at like he was felling we need to leave.
"But you-"
Cataina didn’t finished what she was about to say when soone arrived.
"Your Highnesses.."
We all looked at Ernie and Jarnus who just appeared out of nowhere.
"The emperor was looking for you."
Jarnus said as he and Ernie both looked at Cataina who look pissed at the two.
"Let’s go."
"You should co with us too, Lady Rigas since it is very dangerous in this place."
Ernie said as he asked her to co with us, but the latter looks hesitant and was even glaring at him.
Helion said as he hold my hand and as we leave the place with Ernie and Jarnus, while Lady Cataina was left there alone.
I didn’t bother looking back at her as it seems like the emperor has summoned us for sothing important.
And besides her knights has arrived already to protect her from any harm.
___________________
"You’re all here"
The emperor said as he was with her father who was not looking at them, but instead he seems like he was looking around.
"You summoned us, Father?"
Helion asked the emperor who looks worried with sothing.
"So of the knights spotted sothing strange in the middle of this forest."
The emperor said as he begun on looking at the place where it looks very dark when it’s still afternoon.
They all look when they heard a scream ca from the opposite direction where they were looking at.
Erni and Jarnus run towards the direction where they left a while ago.
Damned!
Helion and I looked at each other as we also run after Jarnus and Ernie. We both know that it was Cataina who was screaming.
When we got there, she was surrounded by so big monsters.
That was odd.
These monsters only awake by the sll of human’s blood.
And I can’t see any blood near her.
The knights were struggling protecting her as she just keep on screaming.
And she said awhile ago that she used to co with Helion to hunt when she was young.
Ernie and Jarnus launches attacking the montser and so Helion who was also beside starts walking where she is.
I attacked one of the monsters when I saw it hiding behind on of the bushes and the others seems to be very busy suppressing the monsters from keep on coming again.
I look at Cataina who was crying and screaming in fear.
Why are the monster keeps on going out.
I slamd one of the monster and strike it using my power and went closer to where Cataina is.
"I need to take you to the safe place."
I said as I looked at her, but gone was the scared lady that I saw a while ago.
She slapped my hand that was holding her right arm.
"Don’t touch and could you please go away?"
She said which surprises .
Why would she do that and where was the scared looking she had a while ago?
All I could see was anger and irritation all over her face as she was looking at .
I was about to say sothing when-
"Ahhh"
Cataina was already on the ground and looking at with terrified on her eyes.
They all looked at Cataina who were asking for their help. I almost rolled my eyes as I squat and hold her on her arms again and teleport us to where the emperor and my father are.
But when we arrived there they were already gone.
"Let go!"
Cataina said as she was trying to break from my grip.
"What was wrong with you Lady Rigas!"
I said as I use an authority in my tone for her to know who has the upper hand in here.
"What’s wrong with ?"
She said as she pushed down on the ground as she stood up.
"Why do always have to interfere?"
She said as I was standing up from where she push .
"If you -"
She didn’t finished her sentence when we heard so footsteps.
"I am not doing anything, Your Highness."
She suddenly said when so of people arrived and they look confused at what was happening.
"What’s going on here, Cataina?"
We both look when we saw Lord Rigas rushing to his daughter who was now looking pitiful.
Damned.
She’s another Noraya in the making. I thought as I look at her.
The people look at with contemplating look, while so has so disappointnt on their eyes.
I sighed as it seems like so of them fall from Cataina’s trap.
"Father... I was just talking to her highness about my childhood mories with his highness."
She said and she even fake her cries.
-------------------
Noraya was feeling really bad.
She can feel that her energy was draining since she hasn’t had any proper als since then.
"The emperor and the others are still in the forest, so knights said that the monsters has been flocking there."
I heard so won talking as they had their fan on their face.
And base on what they were wearing they seems to ca from noble family.
"That’s too bad. Are we in danger?"
One of the woman asked her companion who looks worried too.
"Hey, stop thinking about that. Her highness said that we were safe here."
The two woman both looked at the other woman who just arrived.
She looks familiar.
Noraya think if she had seen her before, and so mories flashes on her head.
That woman and she wasn’t even alone.
She knew them.
They are Lady Evangeline and Lady Dreanna.
They were with Acantha when the stupid Abanoon attacked them and use her body and now she was here like so those people from the slums and she may even had a worse situation than them as she was wanted in this place.
This is all Acantha and Abanoon’s fault if they didn’t interferred with her destined fate she should have been inside the castly cuddling with Helion.
Noraya ford her hands into fists.
This is all their fault.
Her mother’s fault.
Her step-dad’s fault.
This is their fault.
If they just give what I wanted and loved , only without a share.
But no,
They didn’t love her.
Her friend, her only friend whom she thought understands her feelings betrayed her by not making her the main role of this story.
All she want was perfect story for a life she had always wanted and yet.
Everyone denies her to have it.
Not her mom, not her step-dad, and not her friend.
"It’s nice seeing you here Lady Dreanna and Lady Evangeline."
She was back to her senses when she saw that there are more people in that group and they seems to be talking to each other happily , like they don’t have a problem.
I looked around again and my eyes were burning in anger when I saw a familiar pink hair and I could feel the energy from my body rising again.
She looked around like she was looking for sothing.
I frozed when she looked straight to my eyes and-
