Morning Dew's

"Even though I won't say where Princess Yuki is !!" Shouted Sei with the rest of the energy. He spit on the ground. His face showed disgust. "Olwrendho's family is very kind to you, but you intend to harm them, you beast !!"

The glint of the sword in the hand of the black hooded man from the moonlight reflected off. Without a doubt the man raised his sword. 

"Say...Don'tdon't...Seiii..Don't kill him...Stop itnn !!!" Yuki shouted hysterically while shaking the iron bars with all her strength.

The sword quickly moved. Debuman loudly rang out as Sei's head hit the wall at the side, after which a burst of blood flowed from his body. Sei's body was shaken for a moment then drooped like a withered tree.

Yuki was stunned to see the incident. She's feeling nauseous. 

Tears are flowing. 

"No." whispered Yuki. He's sitting on the floor. "No !!" His screams then seemed to have let out his anger.

"Yuki" Prince Riana was shocked when suddenly Yuki shouted hysterically in her sleep and rebelled uncontrollably. He swiftly pulled the horse to a stop.

Yuki's eyes were still closed, but his hands were flailing as if there was something terrifying in front of him. Prince Riana clenched Yuki's shoulder and shook her body tightly. "Yuki !!" Call Prince Riana again louder.

Yuki opened her eyes in fear. Cold sweat ran down his forehead. He's shaking. When she saw Prince Riana in front of her, she felt relieved and immediately hugged Prince Riana while crying.

What dream was that ?.

Yuki didn't understand why He always had such horrible dreams. Not only once did He dream of the death of those around him, even at the death of his mother, He dreamed of it clearly.

While Yuki was still crying, suddenly a cold wind hit her. The feather stands. The atmosphere around became quiet. 

Yuki's feelings become uneasy, her heart telling her that the person chasing her is close enough.

It smelled a strange fragrance, a smell that should not exist in the middle of the forest. The horses neighed, moving in agitation. Their feet jolted to the ground many times. The soldiers tried to calm them down.

Yuki looked at the faces of the soldiers. They had been cast by Reverend Serfa so it was impossible to be affected by the black spell. But still Yuki feels depressed if he thinks there will be more lives lost because of it.

Prime Minister Olwrendho, the Soldiers and Servants in his home, were all killed because of Yuki. Who else will be the victim ?. Yuki's chest feels claustrophobic. Sei's shadow of death hit him. Yuki was sure it wasn't a dream. He was there when Sei was killed sadistically for the sake of protecting him.

"You go, leave me here" whispered Yuki pleading with Prince Riana. "They're after me, if you leave me here, you'll be safe"

"Don't be stupid, even to death I won't leave you" Prince Riana refused firmly.

The Soldiers had already pulled out their swords in a prepared position. They formed a formation to protect Prince Riana and Yuki. The nobility of Xasfir was near them, looking on alert in every direction. The palace soldiers were the chosen ones. Their martial arts were above average ordinary warriors. 

Yuki waited with her heart pounding. He subconsciously gripped Prince Riana's arm strongly.

What was waiting finally appeared. The sound of a twig being stepped on. From the darkness of the night, hypnotized royal warriors appeared surrounding them.

Their eyes were dark, empty as if they had no soul. On their foreheads was a shining blood-red symbol. A black aura enveloped them.

A dark hooded figure appeared. She did not show her face clearly, but Yuki saw her belly was oddly shaped. From her experience all along, Yuki guessed that person was a woman who was pregnant.

"Leave the girl, and you can leave safely" the hooded woman pointed out as she spoke out to Prince Riana.

Prince Riana narrowed her eyes coldly. "Go past my corpse"

The hooded woman tilted her head while silent, then She smiled broadly with arrogance.

Both armies raised their swords and moved forward. Prince Riana raised her sword, preparing to attack.

The clink of the sword clashed loudly. Prince Riana brandished the sword, slashing at his opponents mercilessly. He jumps down from the horse, deftly blocking any attacks that target Yuki.

The smell of blood, the neighing of horses and the shouting united. Yuki watched everything from the top of the horse fixated. Blood everywhere. From his place, he could see everything clearly. 

Prince Riana's army is outnumbered. No matter how great his troops were, it was impossible to face the much larger royal army without a plan.

Yuki's gaze was fixed on Prince Riana, He fought with careful calculation. Yuki felt anxious, if Prince Riana was to be killed, the kingdom would be destroyed. This can't happen. 

Yuki doesn't want to just protect her, someone else gets exposed to her sap.

"Yuki Watch out !!" 

Yuki turned around when Prince Riana warned him. But too late, a Royal Soldier jumped at Yuki so they both fell on the horse. 

Prince Riana was unable to get to Yuki because of the presence of six other soldiers. 

Yuki managed to kick the Soldier who ambushed him and released himself. He picked up the fallen sword nearby and directly swung it at the Soldier. The soldier became even more furious when his arm was scratched.

He pedals his sword, throwing the sword in Yuki's hand until it bounces away. Then He turned back to the sword to slash Yuki who was sitting in front of him.

"YUKIIY !!!!"

"DAUGHTER YUKI !!" 

The entire shout united as Yuki rolled to the right. The sword stuck half an inch beside Yuki's head. Almost about.

Yuki again kicked the royal warrior firmly and crawled to get away. He feels weak, but He will fight as much as possible even though in the end He will lose.

He managed to regain his sword. Prince Riana and the Noble Xasfir were preoccupied with the attacks of the soldiers who seemed to be centered on them. The goal was clear, to keep them away from Yuki.

Yuki stood up, He clasped tightly onto his sword preparing to receive an attack as the Royal Soldier approached him swiftly while he was brandishing the sword upwards.

Is this the end of me ?

Yuki's whisper in the heart.

He closed his eyes, preparing to accept his death as an arrow shot swiftly from the back of his head. Stabbing the Warrior in front of him right in the heart. The soldier fell down and did not move.

Yuki shouted backwards as an arrow shot out again killing the other Royal Warriors. 

A cloth covering her face and hair appeared from behind Yuki. He pulled Yuki to the back of his back and stood up in a protective position. He held the sword and attacked anyone who approached with trained swordsmanship.

Meanwhile, arrows continued to rain down on the Royal Soldiers.

There was a loud scream approaching followed by the roar of horse footsteps. Yuki turned her head, looking at the source of the voice in panic.

Are there any more hypnotized Royal Troops coming ?

Prince Riana's army was already exhausted in manpower and lacking people. Although there is help but help is not enough to make them all feel safe.
