Chapter 18 - 18 A Tearful Night

While combing her long silky gray hair she sat there with a smile. One making this moment a memorable one while the other two reminiscence the past. Combing her hair to the side exposing her neck a surge of attraction pulled him in to kiss the side of her neck shocking her. The flowery scent from her hair caused him to linger inhaling a long breath. Luna who saw the shadow of the two turned her head away. Regaining his composure he got up and left.

Wyn summon Aego I wish to speak to him. My apologies he left without informing us. Unfortunate nothing to do then.

With a faster pace Aego led the group shielding the wind resistance making it easier for Sasori to follow. Another day quickly passed as they only stopped to take a light meal. He felt something wasn't right and he wouldn't ignore his gut. Zulae who was at the rear guard saw Aego and his group from a distance and was disappointed. He informed Wyn and Seith who didn't mind it to much it was a long journey after all.

The sun had already set when Aego arrived and set camp. Walking over to the princess tent and entering like before. A single glance he saw the look in Aela's eyes. A slight rage erupted inside hiding it perfectly with his cold expression he pulled Aela over. Wait I want to discuss something. Ignoring the princess he pulled Aela along out to the center of the camp. Everyone looked over with curiosity. With a somewhat loud voice who wants to play with her? Some confused at first then excitement. Aego with his observation skill saw every micro movement.

Without waiting he dashed forward towards Zulae who was to eager like he knew what to expect. Slitting his throat with a throwing knife he pulled out from his sleeve. Holding his posture he turned his head to see Seith with fear that was to much for an elite elf to show. Disappearing and appearing in front of Seith standing straight up he swung the throwing knife horizontally slitting his throat. All this happened in seconds. Appearing beside Aela he pulled her along waking her up, Wyn who recovered first sighed in relief just as he turned to complain to the princess a throwing knife stabbed him from behind instead of words a pool of blood sprayed out.

Duran who was furious reached for his sword. Draw your sword and you can die too. Helpless he couldn't risk endangering the princess so he grit his teeth biting his lip a trail of blood ran down his chin. Quietly she followed him, I'm sorry. Shocked she looked up at his back. Thinking she misheard him I'm so sorry, don't forgive me. Pulling her hand away and stopping before she could say anything. Do you still wish to save a country in which the men who raped you was born in? There's a lot more than just the three I killed.

I could speed up its destruction or I can give my life to save it. I'll obey whatever you choose. How do you know? My mother had the same look every time they would visit. How could I forget they visited often. Walking off Aela stood there a moment before following him back to his camp. Sasori who immediately recognized those lifeless eyes didn't say anything. Luna who saw Aela with her long yellow hair and sharp oval face with green eyes and small pink lips and slender body that was common of elves thought she was pretty, but looking into her eyes again a similar pair overlapped her lifeless eyes reminding her of her mother. No one said anything as Aego gestured the girls to sleep in the tent.

Stuck in the middle between the unfamiliar Aela keeping her distance, and Sasori who moved a lot often bumping into you. Unable to sleep she stepped out looking at Aego seeing something out of place she leaned in to see tears falling quickly like a melting icicle with drops of water falling. Feeling someone staring at him he opened his eyes to see bright yellow eyes staring at him. Reaching out to comb her hair. She rolled on you didn't she. Mhmm, opening his arm with the blanket, seeing his intentions she sat sideways in his lap. Swinging his arm to close her in an embrace instantly warming each other up.

Looking up at him are you okay? Mhmm, puzzled she continued to stare you only cry if it hurts. Reaching out her small hand gently knocking his head with her little fingers. Doesn't it hurt? Mhmm hurts so much. Then you can cry just this once I won't tell anyone. Tears fell uncontrollably his first time crying like this since his mother. Luna could only wipe the tears with her small hands. Sniffing he calmed down patting and rubbing her head. Thank you with a slight smile he leaned in to kiss her forehead good night. Proud of herself she got comfortable and fell asleep. Soon after Aego fell asleep.

Finding that Luna wasn't there Sasori woke up hearing Aego say hurts so much. Quiet moans of agony could be heard. Instantly brought tears to her eyes. She's known him for years and he's never heard him cry like that. Her chest tightened at the pain she could only imagine he was in. She fought the urge to hug him but afraid that he would stop she held back the urge. Tears fell even more uncontrollably as she laid their grasping at how helpless she was.

Aela who had her back turned opened her eyes as she awoke from the quiet cries of a person. Surprised that a person like him could cry she laid there. Soon after an even quieter cry of pain could be heard inside the tent. Even more surprising was that a foxkin who was treated the worst as a slave would cry for her master.
