Elyse looked up to see who had arrived. At first, the sun's rays covered her eyes. As a result, shebraised her hand to block the sunlight. Eventually, she adjusted her eyes and saw who had arrived. The new person who arrived was also a man. A very handsome dazzling man. He was mounted on a white horse. His long white tied-hair was flapping in the cold breeze, and his gaze was fixed on Elyse. His eyes were like a raging fire. It's red with orange and yellow accents. Or, more than likely, the sunset. She locked her gaze on the stranger's breathing taking eyes. It was her first time seeing such enticing eyes!
She don't know who is this person is, but please can you lend a hand and help her get out of this confusing place?
"Your highness!" All of the knights, knelt and bowed at the same time. Even the man who pointed his sword at Elyse's neck knelt. She breath a sigh of relief because the sword had finally disappeared in her sight.
"Rouge. Report." The handsome man said as he gave Elyse a cold glaze. The man who pointed the sword at her earlier rose up from his position. He bowed once again and speak, "We found this suspicious lady, snooping aroud here in our camp."
"A spy?"
He shook his head. "That not might be the case after observing her for a few minutes. She acts like an amateur for a spy, your higness."
'Your highness, she might be a goddess that has been guarding this forest!'
'That's right, your higness!'
The other knights caused a ruckus and spoke with confidence in the man who just arrived. Your highness? Is he a prince, then? "Enough." Everyone went silent as they heard a rather terrifying voice from the person who just arrive. His low deep voice was enough to stop the commotion that was happening.
"... But your highness, we should still bring her with us. We should be cautious enough not to slipped a person who just found your location. I will never believe in such coincidence." Rouge said with a serious expression. The prince just look at Rouge with his bored eyes. But he gave Elyse a sharp gaze, observing her appearance. She felt conscious about herself all of the sudden because of that sharp gaze that can take your breath away! The way he stare boldly at her body feels illegal! They exchanged some words as Elyse stood there, listening what they talked about that also all about her.
These people... "You." The handsome man who just spoke is the prince who's currently still riding on his horse. "M, Me?" Elyse answered and pointed a finger on herself.
"Are you the said goddess who's the guardian of this forest?" He asked directly while still looking directly into her eyes. It was as if Elyse was drunk by the way he was staring at her. "...No." she answered right away. Her voice also trembled a little because of the cold breeze that's touching her cold body. After Elyse responded, the man dismounted his horse and gestured something. The man who had drawn his sword earlier also named Rouge, bowed his head and exited.
The prince only gave her one look and made a face like he found her like a bug and didn't give her another look. Elyse was irritated, but given the circumstances, even if she felt annoyed right now at this arrogant creature in front of her, he is still the prince. He might not introduce his self to Elyse earlier but Elyse can quite get catch that he's a royalty after hearing the knights called him.
After a minute, Rouge returned with a piece of clothing. He handed it to Elyse and walked out without saying anything to her but he bowed to the prince. The dazzling man coldly spoke. "Cover yourself." In a cold tone, he said. The prince's image in Elyse's mind change in an instant. She was grateful right now and think positively about the prince.
"...Thank you very much..." Elyse was only wearing a swimsuit while the people in front of her were dressed formally but she doesn't really give much thought about it. She wasn't even that embarrassed giving the fact that she lived in the 21st century so wearing a swimsuit would be okay, but not in this cold weather! She began to cover herself and sat on one of the rocks where the knights had previously sat.
"Rouge," the lord said as he led his horse to the side. Even if he hadn't finished his sentence, Rouge was appeared as fast as he can in front of thw prince. They spoke for a while, but Elyse didn't hear everything. But she gets the gist of what they're saying. It's most likely because of her. Rouge approached Elyse after they had finished talking. She must be correct in her observation that the conversation they had was entirely about her.
"Do you live in the woods?" The man who drew out his sword at Elyse earlier and handed her the garment, also known as Rouge, began to question her. It sounds like interrogation, or it is unmistakably an interrogation. He's just standing straight while waiting for Elyse to respond, so he's looking down at her because of their position and the height difference. The man was tall and had a masculine body. Elyse was also tall, and also currently sitting but after seeing this man, she began to doubt herself. He's huge, more taller than the prince.
"No..."
"Can you tell me where you live?"
"I'm not sure..."
"Do you have no idea?"
Elyse wanted to answered that she's aware of the answers of these questions. But if she explained that she lives in 21st century and that she also came from modern world, far more than this uncivilization, they might think she's insane. Only she can do now is to pretend that she doesn't know and observed a little more.
"Yes..."
"Could you then state your
"I remember... it's E-Elyse..."
"Do you recall anything, such as where you lived or what you did for a living?"
Elyse decided to just pretend that she doesn't know or that she have lost her memories so she can avoid any further questions. "I'm not really sure...my head is kind of hurting right now..." Elyse touched her head, acting like it is hurt a lot. Somehow, she pull it off gorgeously. Elyse is still trying to figure out what is going on with her while touching her head. This is obviously not a dream, but it appears surreal. How could she have appeared out of nowhere, let alone in such an odd location?
"One more thing... Who sent you?" Rouge's gaze and the manner in which he spoke clearly indicated a threat. He's threatening Elyse to speak up, but Elyse is simply perplexed.
"I'm not sure what you mean..." She was a little confused. She would also like to know who sent her in this shit hole.
Rouge just observe her and didn't ask anything anymore. He sudenly summoned the other two knights after the 'interrogation.' "Keep an eye on her. If she made any unusual movements, assassinate her right away." Rouge stated unequivocally. Then he march away. Elyse froze up. Her breath also stopped for a moment. Did she heard it right? These people who just helped her a moments who will also be willing to assassinate her without a second thought?
"Get ready to leave." Rouge stated and the knights started to move their asses. Even if Elyse heard that, her mind is still clouded by many thoughts. She is aware of what this means. That she's screwed up now that she have met crazy people!
[Did I just get caught in some gruesome happenings?!]
