Day 400 Year XX
Anasthacius! He was with some others who wore black cloak as him!
I read a novel called lovely princess in my past life... If you would be among the the 10% Of people who wouldn't have read it then here is the summary:
A normal noble girl become princess castes aside one princess people believed to be true who later on died but after many twists and turns, she led a happy life with her make lead.
Anyways Anasthacius was the heroine's Father who was killed by her uncle who later usurped the throne but heroine didn't know this! Damn! I remembered reading this novel and going like wtf? Only the heroine was happy lol. But anyways looking at this man's features, it didn't take me long to realise that fact that he's an Obelia royal! The supposedly next heir to throne but his bro kills him and usurps the throne and ya lovely Princess happens.
[Meanwhile Athy: Forget about lovely Princess, you didn't know where you were living for 6 years?😑]
The man who would give birth to heroine was standing in front of me in black cloak! A person whose daughter is responsible for many things! OMG!
At that time I thought that it was destined for me to be there as I was fated to save Anasthacius and not let the events of lovely princess happen.
I didn't know at that time that it was not the case, but fact is I was engrossed in my fantasy that I finally became a main character of my story, that my mind didn't work at that time and I just followed by with it. I wish to go back in time to solve this now... But...
Back then, I thought this was what I was born for and I had to prevent events of future from happening.
The only way to stop events which were to happen were to get this man's head cleared up. And that could only be done when I would spend time with him. I thought at that time, what was he doing there rather than being in the palace? Why was he bullying people? What was going on?
It was then when I thought to be brave and approach Anasthacius. Fact is my friends were here too and I didn't want any of them along with the common people to get hurt.
I thought rather than them getting hurt it would be better for me to face him. One is better to be hurt than hundreds.
Anasthacius at that time was on his horse and the other men he came with had their weapons out at people. i knew it was something serious but I didn't know what exactly wad the case and anyone else was too scared to speak.
It was the time for me to step up... Was what I thought and...
"Kyaaa!" I heard a voice I knew before. It was of my friends' voice. Anasthacius had captured her. He said that if the person he was looking for would come forth he won't hurt her.
Oh no! I didn't have much time to think if I don't do anything she will...
No I am the female lead so I won't get hurt whatsoever I do I need to stop these people.
"If anyone dares to move... "
"Stop leave her alone! Or else..." I came forth and near Anasthacius's horse.
"Or else?"
"Or else..." I don't have any expertise in martial arts even though I know business! Damn! But I won't get hurt. He will eventually fall for me and let me off since he would have probably started to like me. Yes! I am positive.
"You seemed to have something big going on in head when you yelled at me. Seems like that was not the case."
Anasthacius said looking down at me from his high horse and glaring at me.
"Leave her. Take me instead. Don't hurt others for whatever motives you have."
"Why should I take you?"
"I am just offering to trade myself for her such that you won't hurt others and go while threatening to kill me."
"Why should I take you?"
"Why should you take her?"
"Woman do you even know who you are talking to?"
"Yes a person who doesn't dear threatening others for whatever purposes."
"You-"
Suddenly then an arrow came and struck Anasthacius's arm. I was shocked to see some other men masked in black around Anasthacius's team and him. This thing was getting complicated more and more.
"Hisss" Anasthacius screamed in pain and then looked at me and said "you were with them weren't you?"
"With who?"
"Don't act smart!"
Then another arrow came around and was about to strike Anasthacius's horse but he managed to not let that happen.
"Hah! We'll investigate that later." When he said that he forcefully pulled my hand almost picking me up and making me sit on his horse.
He locked both my hands with his arm by which he pulled me up and on the one an Arrow was struck.
The scene was terrific! I was unable to move neither was I comfortable having a two seater on the horse.
But paying no heed to it Anasthacius speeded to the forest nearby and soon we left the other black masked men behind.
This was the start of it all.
