"Hey ... the young lady you are looking for is here!"
And the inn staff exclaimed out.
Away from the hallway near the stairs, some people came running.
Those people were dressed in uniform, black in red stripes with jet black trousers.
There was a symbol of rose petals blooming right on their right shoulder with gold embroidery of their name right on it.
Cecile was dumbfounded!
It was the security forces of the Zeath tribe. Did his father do this? She should have guessed this thing earlier. As the chief's daughter, how could she possibly just walk away with ease? Her father could have easily deployed security forces to look for her.
Cecile frantically turned around. Pick up her belongings and be ready to escape.
But those people were right at the door of her inn room. They were a well-trained troop, how could a girl without any martial arts skills like herself get rid of them all.
"Young lady Cecile ... please follow us"
One of them came forward as a representative. After that they all bowed in unison politely as a form of respect.
Arthur had expected it from the start. That girl was definitely not an ordinary girl. But looking at her current situation, it seemed like she wasn't just a daughter from an elite family.
Those who came to pick her up were not trained bodyguards belonging to an elite family, but looked like a community of a region's troops. What was the true identity of this girl?
"Mr. Ackbert has ordered us to take you young lady home"
"Please tell my father I don't want to go home"
Cecile felt like crying. Actually this pleasure had only just begun, but why did her father find her so fast?
With her father's authority as the chieftain, she should have known that this escape was ultimately a waste.
"This young lady is an order! Please cooperate"
Arthur couldn't hide the smile on his face when he heard 'this is an order', he had heard that word many times and would never have thought he would hear that word again but this time it wasn't directed at him.
"Not! I insist on refusing"
Cecile immediately ran towards the window. Looking down, she swallowed bitter saliva.
This was the second floor.
'If she jumps, is her body still intact down there?'
Remembering the group of people who had been free to come in and out of this window last night, she felt envious.
She should also have the same ability as them, that way she didn't have to bother in this kind of situation.
Just as she surrendered to her fate, there was a soft breath that hit her earlobe.
"I can help you"
Cecile was flabbergasted. When she turned her head, her gaze immediately met Arthur's handsome face.
His blue eyes sparkled seductively then blinked. "How?"
"Hurry up then!"
Cecile didn't want to bother anymore and continued to make decision.
Arthur glanced back, the people started walking slowly over them. Arthur curled his lips and generously smiled.
"You all want to take this girl?" He said playfully.
While his hands started to circle Cecile's waist, making their distance seemed closer.
Cecile who felt uncomfortable immediately tried to escape. "What are you doing? Get off quickly!"
"Shyuhh .." Arthur brought his lips closer to Cecile's ear.
She could feel his warm breath gently caressing her cheek.
"Cooperate a little .." In the end, Cecile couldn't help but obey.
The group of people could see Cecile's unhappy face and looked a little bit oppressed. One of them immediately spoke.
"Sir..please let the girl go. She is the daughter of our chieftain, so we hope you don't cause any big trouble."
Arthur was amazed. Turning to the girl beside him, he developed a smile full of interest and whispered again at the threshold of her ear.
"So you are the daughter of the chieftain?"
The gesture seemed very intimate, making the group of troops feel uneasy that the man was going to overdo something to the daughter of their chief.
One of them who was the commander of the troops immediately pulled out a sword. It was long and thin. At a glance one could see how sharp the sword was.
"Sir, if you do not want to cooperate, then we will not be polite!"
"Me neither!"
Just as Arthur said that, he grabbed Cecile's waist in his arms. The sudden movement made Cecile reflexively put her hands around the man's neck. Soon Arthur jumped out the window.
His movements are very fast. It looked like a cursory shadow. A group of people who saw it were gawking at the place for a split second. When their consciousness recovered, their commander shouted out loud.
"Chase them .. HURRY!"
Some of them nimbly threw the rope across the tree outside then tied it into a tight knot and so they jumped. Others were out, grabbing their horses ready to give chase.
But what happened after, made them dumbfounded.
"Commander how is it? We've lost track of them"
"How can this be? This is impossible .."
The commander fell silent. With their speed, they should be able to catch up easily. There's no way they just disappeared. Long pause, he finally thought of something.
"Keep looking! They must be hiding around here"
Besides the confused group of people, Cecile who was in Arthur's arms started to feel dizzy.
It was because the man was running really fast. Barely exceeded normal human capacity. It was very fast over the cheetah and almost rivaled the speed of hurricane.
Cecile suddenly felt a strong turbulence in her stomach. With her hands still tightly hugging the man's neck, she tried to endure not to vomit out her guts now.
But unfortunately she failed. Cecile in the end vomited a mouthful of acidic water from her stomach.
Because her face was so close to the man's neck, the fluid spilled down his neck.
Arthur who was focused on running, could feel a warm fluid on his neck. But he didn't really care about it.
At that time he focused on seeing the road, whether there were humans passing by. Because it would be dangerous if the humans saw his action this time.
As he began to feel like he was approaching the market, Arthur immediately stopped the pace of his power. After making sure everything was safe, Arthur lowered Cecile.
"What was that? You ran so fast that you almost beat the speed of the Cheetah, are you human?" Grumbled Cecile who was dazed on the spot, still feeling so dizzy.
Arthur's pair of blue eyes flashed sharply when he heard that. But he quickly recovered his usual relaxed expression.
"If I'm not human then what is it?"
"Werewolves?"
Deg!
Arthur fell silent.
Seeing his reaction like that, Cecile almost puffed her cheeks ready to burst with laughter.
"Pfft ..."
"I'm just kidding, why are you so serious? But I have to admit, your ability to run is very good, how long have you practiced until it is that amazing?"
Arthur could see, the girl said naturally and did not suspect anything. That way Arthur just smiled silly again.
Raised his hand, then he touched his wet neck.
"What fluid is this?"
