"sword lord?" i called out his name unconsciously

the man who i met years ago and his only identity Was swordsmanship

i knew absolutely nothing about him, yet i spent thirty days in the woods with him

he smelled dangerous and i confirmed how dangerous he is when some demon hunters captured me, i wasn't a demon, i tried to make them understand but they seemed to understand only two languages

kill and die!

He didn't knew i was among the captured ones, i wanted to rush to him but one of the demon hunters held me still

"do you know who i am? how insolent of you to treat a princess like this" i scorned at the man but he didn't budged and they all maintained the usual poker face

the next moment, i saw demon's head flying in the air, i dodged one that flew across to my side

i was bewildered, I've never witnessed something like this before

i never attended any beheading even back in the palace so i couldn't help but to cover my ears and scream out as loud as i can

"who is that?!" i heard him holler dangerously

He wasn't like that when we met though he looked dangerous, it wasn't to this extent, a human killing demons, that was the most shocking event I've ever witnessed my whole life

The demon hunters dragged me before him and i cowered, scared to meet his face.

however he's looking now, i don't want to witness it.

he's someone i want to see again so badly, but not like this

"what are you doing here?" he asked coldly even though i sensed he was trying to keep calm

so he recognized me after all

"she's a demon my lord, we wouldn't have captured her if she isn't one" someone answered him and i raised my head up in anger

"a woman demon?" i scoffed "stop being absorb, I'm a human! the heiress of infinity Dynasty!" i yelled angrily and the man placed a sword against my neck swiftly

"grant me the permission my Lord" the man said and sword Lord or so he called himself scoffed

"can you handle her? i mean, all of you?" he asked and i frowned

why would he say that?

'the only reason i followed them here obediently was because i thought i can't overpower them but i can?

what am i missing?' i thought within myself and squinted my eyes

"Take her back to the border, you really shouldn't treat a princess like this, placing a sword on her neck is considered treason don't you know?" sword lord said and the man quickly sheathed his sword

"but my lord..."

"just do as i say, okay!" he said firmly and the man bowed

"yes, my lord" he said and pulled me up gently

"let's go" he said and i looked back but he was gone

i didn't knew whether to feel disappointed or denied but i followed the demon hunters who led me to the border anyway and i never saw him again

~~

But today, i lost my entire family to treason and myself is at the brink of death and he came for me

seeing him at a moment like this made me remember one of his three promises back when we were in the woods years ago

"Whenever you are in a difficult situation, you needn't call for me, i would come for you"

"sword Lord?" i couldn't believe my eyes

"Marry me! and i would save you, and avenge your family's untimely death, this is your last chance to live....princess arya!" he said straight forwardly and i squinted my eyes, wondering what he's up too

i wanted ask what his aim and target is but unconsciousness took over and i fell into his embrace

Ryan pulled the rope violently and drove back up to the cliff

he walked up to a black horse tied to the other end of the mountain and descended on it with arya in his arms

He gripped the horse with his legs to cue it to go forward

"Run!" he commanded hoarsely and the horse responded immediately

They crossed a border and soon, they arrived in a castle where a thousand of soldiers and hundred of demons hunters with other humans where busy with one duty or another

"welcome back my Lord" Aaron and six more soldiers welcomed him

"Take her to the infirmary and get physician loris to attend to her" Ryan ordered

"yes, my lord" Aaron bowed obediently and obliged

"welcome to my world, princess arya" Ryan said with a light smile

"My lord, isn't she the woman demon from the other day?" abyss asked

"Yes she is, buddy.... i think its time for the revolt" Ryan said and his brown eyes glimmered with happiness
