We left the store with a ring on my finger. It was overwhelming that this character, Duke Claude was the one I despise when I was on Earth. I hated how he kept on interrupting the Male Lead and the Female Lead when they are at peace. I kept on looking at him and he always caught me staring. Instead of asking me why I was staring, he just smiled and every time he smiles I look at another direction.
Inside the carriage, we did not speak and just admire everything that we see from the carriage.
I squeal in excitement when I could almost see our house but still, it is a bit far. and then we heard a scream. "Assassins! Assassins! Protect the Duke and Lady Calla!"
The carriage stopped and I am panicking. I looked at Claude who looks hesitating. He looked at me filled with worry. "Calla, I need to go out. Stay here and wait for my signal. If the assassins came, run as fast as you can and never look back."
He was about to get off the carriage with his sword but I pulled his sleeves. "What about you? I can't just leave you here!"
"No! You need to go! We will meet at Hamilton's Manor." Yes. I might become a burden. "Besides, I am also trained as a Knight." I looked at his eyes. All I see is courage and bravery.
"I understand."
Claude closed the door a bit and I took a peek. Claude holding a sword defending himself ad others.
Waiting for the signal. All I hear was swords clashing. I am scared. My knees are shaking. I prayed and ask God to save Claude and the others. I prayed for our safety. I cut my gown shorter to ensure that I can run fast and get some help. I waited for the signal once more.
"Calla! Run! Now!"
I opened the door and ran as fast as I can. I ran and ran and ran. It felt like ages. I just run without looking back. I am scared to see who is chasing me. I know that 2 or more people are chasing me. When I finally saw the gates to our house I shouted. "Help! Somebody! Help!"
"Lady Calla!"
Four knights came to my rescue and defeated those who chased after me. I looked at them in tears. I kept cry. I am scared.
"Come inside, Lady Calla. There you will be safe." One of the knights said.
I wanted to but the image of Claude fighting made me stop. "No! My Fiancee is in danger! Get as much as Knight that you can and find Duke Claude! Help them! Help him! Please! Please!"
"Yes, Milady. We will do our best."
They left me with two knights.
"Calla! Calla!" Mother ran towards me and before I even know it. I am between her arms crying. "Let's go inside and wait for Duke Claude."
"No! Please, Mother! Let me see him. At least, Let me see him arrive safe and sound."
Mother sigh and wraps a blanket around me. "Ok then, let's wait."
Suddenly it began to rain. Mother looked at me. "There's a shelter near hear. You can easily spot them when they come. Let's wait over there, Okay?" Right, Mother might get sick because of me.
"Mother, I think I should go back to look for Duke Claude."
Mother hugs me once again. "Stay Calla. you might not be helpful there but might become a nuisance. Just stay and Calm down."
I looked from where I came from. I couldn't help but bit my lower lips. "Let's go."
'Please! Let him be safe!'
