"Please.. I beg you! Please save my son." She tried to go past the crowd but her leaner frame and frail hands were not able to push the crowd away while the woman continued to shout for her son who was looking scared.
He had frozen in his place with fear and was not moving at all.
"Noah!"
"Noah" she shouted a few times but the eyes of the boy were on the horse that were just a few inches away. They were coming with such speed and the riders had not noticed his presence and his mother's cries due to so much cheering from the crowd.
The woman who was restless finally was able to push the crowd and came forward but it was already too late.
"Noah!"
She closed her eyes as the shriek escaped her lips. She did not have the courage to see her only son dying like this but tears fell from her eyes like a dam had been broken.
"You! What are you trying to do?"
"Such impudence, you will get punished for it." Although everyone was shouting, the woman had an expression of joy and relief on her face.
She came running towards them and held her son in her arms. It felt like it was a dream! A miracle that had been turned into reality by that young man who was holding the reins of the horse just at the last moment.
One second more and her son would have been…
"Thank you! Thank you, my lord." She bowed her head until it touched the ground a few times before leaving with her son in her arms and finally everyone realized what had happened and they stopped shouting and cursing the impudent lad.
But that did not mean that the riders were satisfied with it. They were sure if the man did not leave, the master was going to take out his anger on all of them.
He would say that their reflexes were weaker than a kid who knew how to jump.
But even when they recall what had happened, they would not be able to stop it.
They swear that they did not see the young kid moving until the horse of their master stopped and they noticed that the reins were not in the hand of their master but in the hand of the young man.
They should have brought that old man who said that he had found the best gem. They were sure that they had never seen the reflexes and agility as good as this.
It felt like he just disappeared there to be presented here.
"Are you done, then leave!" they heard their master shouting which was rare.
Mostly he maintains that sunny side of him in the public while lashing at them later. But to shout like that at a stranger, that also who had saved the life of a toddler was something he had never done before,
More than that, the eyes of everyone was on their god! How could he ruin that image with this kind of behavior?
They all exchanged glances with confusion as if asking what was happening but everyone was clueless.
"Why? What are you shouting for? I have just touched your chest a bit. It is not like I have molested you in public." the boy winked at their master, shocking everyone around them.
They finally noticed that the boy was leaning on their master but they thought it was because he jumped on a riding horse that he was not balanced.
"You do have a nice body though, why are you so ashamed of others finding it?" all of them stopped breathing when the young boy winked while saying something like that to their master.
Was… was he flirting? But wasn't he a man too? Then why was he flirting with their master.
Only then it dawned on them.. The man was a gay! Now they understood why their master suddenly became too angry!
Even if he was bent on the other side, how could he choose their master? The master was not to trifle with. He had never acknowledged the admiration of women, much less a man!
Their faces turned pale but none of them dared to intervene, afraid that it would be their last conversation. But each of them was covered in cold sweat as they tried to make themselves invisible.
The eyes of their master were cold to the extreme. The warm smile had vanished from his face long ago.
Now he was looking like a vicious tiger that had been provoked from his sleep.
Man! This was not the first time Olviia was meeting this man. It felt like they were crossing paths more than needed.
But if she needed to get rid of him, she had to make him appalled by her.
But why did she feel like if she teased him more, she would not be able to walk out alive of this situation? He would chew her and throw her bones for the dogs.
She felt fear after a long time but it also added to her thrill.
"Since my work is done, I think I should leave then." she smiled showing all her canines but he did not give her the space to jump back.
If she moved recklessly then her shoes were going to leave a mark on his chest. Damn! Climbing was much more easier than this!
Why was he not moving? Do not tell me that he was enjoying being teased like that. Could it be that he really had different preferences and was only trying to hide this fact behind his anger.
Just then he held her hand and leaned closer making her eyes widened,
"Watch out for what you say and wish, sometimes it can kill you or you can fall into an accident while walking back home.
Who know that you will lose your limbs so that you can never climb a horse again."
