Before a scream could escape hani's mouth, Ian had swerved his sword up and block his duo from reaching her.
Xander gritted his teeth seeing that he was not dying yet.
He got upset and started to swerve his sword carelessly and Ian got on his feet, challenging him back.
They both got into a serious fight and Xander was the one dwindling.
Hani got up on her feet and started to stare at them with an astonished look. She couldn't believe Ian could still get up to fight after being stabbed behind.
Soon, Ian threw Xander Sword to a corner in the grass and he gasped.
" Ian" He said, stepping back a bit as he looked at him carefully.
" Why did you?" Ian asked, heaving heavily from his fast breath as he slowly took some step forward after him.
Xander let out a light sigh.
" You didn't...d..die." He started, glaring at him for a few minutes before turning around, running as fast as he could.
Ian didn't chase him. He stood there, watching him until he was finally out of sight.
Hani left her spot and slowly walked forward, with her hands behind her back.
She kept staring at his broad back where he was stabbed and her curious eyes went even wider.
" Ian" Her tiny voice sounded. " A...are you alright?. Did he stab you that hard?" She asked, swallowing in hardly.
Ian slowly looked down at his belly and saw the penetration of the knife, with blood spurting out of it.
He started to move towards the fountain in the field quickly and hani ran behind him.
She got to his front and saw him untying his robe in a haste.
" Why did you let the Prince go scot free?!" She questioned.
" What were you expecting me to do?. Kill him?" He asked.
" But he almost killed you. He got me scared, I thought you'd die" She said, her lips moving into a little pout.
Ian sighed without saying a word. Hani could guess that he was really upset.
" What do you want to do?" She asked, peeking a glance at the spot that had been stabbed.
" I'm going to rinse off myself" He whispered.
He started to pull off his robe and his sexy, smooth chest came in view.
" Ohh" Hani palmed her eyes and turned around, backing him. " I'm sorry, I..I..didn't see anything. I'm sorry" She spoke behind the palm in her face.
" You don't need to apologise when you've gotten a view already." He teased and her cheeks secretly went hot.
He crawled into the fountain and soaked himself in the water. He threw his head away, staring at the sky.
" Ian. Why was the Prince attacking you?" She asked, still backing him but her hands were off her face.
" I still have no idea. I knew he was with a bad aura the moment he came to me" He said, his thick brows creasing up.
" The princess hate us, now the Prince also. Nothing gets any better in here" She sighed.
Ian looked at the place he was stabbed and he realised something. His wound was rapidly closing up on its own.
It was happening again, one of the signs that showed him he wasn't normal like everyone else.
He sighed and stood up from the water, going out of it quickly.
He was about to wear back his robe but something made him look at hani.
" Hani" He called.
" Mn?"
" You can turn around. I can't wear my robe cos my pajamas bottom is kinda wet" He said.
" Do I really need to look at you?. It's against the King's rule too, right?." She asked.
" You can't possibly walk eyes closed so just open your eyes" He said and she chuckled.
She slowly turn around and her eyes first glanced at his body.
This was the first time she was seeing a guy's chest bare in front of her and she started to feel uncomfortable.
They both started to move out of the field together, one would think they were couples.
" Where's the wound?. You didn't get stabbed?. How did the blood come about?" She asked repeatedly and anxiously.
" I have no idea how it all happened. But don't worry, I'm fine"
" Really?" She looked at him.
" Yea, I'm sincere. I'm very fine." He said and her brow creased in confusion but she didn't ask any further question.
She halted and faced him and Ian turned to look at her.
" Um...I..I..think I should retire to my camp now" She said
" Yea. I think you should. It's pretty late now." He said and hani turned around to leave.
Ian watched her back slowly as she shyly strolled away but she stopped and turned to look at him
As if he knew what she wanted, he opened up his arms for her.
She ran back to him.
" Goodnight!" She said, leaning on her toes before kissing his side cheek softly.
Ian smirked and when he raised his head, she had ran away quickly.
He slowly turned to look at the palace and his eyes went towards the window belonging to the prince.
A feeling of hate flashed through him immediately.
" I'm not going to report this to the royals, I'm going to deal with you myself later" He said and left the place as well.

Xander couldn't stop going to and fro in his room. He would walk restlessly down the room and back again.
" If he can't die then I'd i have to find how to kill him as soon as possible. No one should also find out about the news that I wanted to kill him." He scoffed.
He sat down and began to think of the next option and luckily, the door got opened.
Queen Lisa walked into his room and he jumped to his feet quickly.
" Are you okay?" She asked.
" Good, thank God you're here. You have to help me" He said and made her seat on his couch forcefully.
Lisa was so surprised cos she had never seen her son this restless and desperate before.
Xander palmed the table and grinned at her.
" Mom, You have to answer this questionso briefly. Is it possible for a crown Prince to die?" He asked and her brow rose up indifferently.
" What kind of question is that?" She scoffed
" Just respond, It's a stupid question but I want you to give me creditable answers" He said.
