The princess and her protector put on a halt on their run when they saw that they are already far away from the monstrous creatures,

"Princess, are you okay? You didn't get hurt, didn't you?" The knight said as he search for some wounds on the royal girl's body,

He sighed in relief as they both sit down, due to exhaustion.

"Are they... Are they... Dead?" The gloomy princess asked the knight, eyes downcast and staring into the unknown.

The Knight can only put his head down in despair,

He then take off his helmet and look at the miserable state of the princess,

"I'm sorry your Highness..." He said then look down again

"It's okay..."

Then looks at her again and saw lifeless stare on her eyes,

"You won't leave me... right?"

He sighed and hug the princess,

"Don't worry... I promise... I promise, I won't leave you. I promise that I will protect you. Just like what I promised to his Highness, The King... I'll protect you... Even if it cause my life, I would still protect you"

The girl started to cry until she lost her energy and sleep on his arms.

"I'll protect you" said, he.

*Blag!*

The two woke up from their slumber and saw that it was night time already,

And they know that it wouldn't be safe to stay outside.

"What was that?" The princess asked while whispering,

"I don't know, stay here while I check it out" He said then was about to go, but the princess stopped her,

"No! Stay here, with me. I-I'm scared... Please don't leave... Please don't leave me alone..." She begged,

"Don't worry, I'll be back shortly" he smiled, reassuring the girl.

The girl look at him with pleading eyes but eventually nodded.

She watch his back as he disappeared behind the trees.

She sighed as she looks around, trying to secure herself.

Not long after, she heard some noises behind.

But when she looks around, the creature with horns is already sprinting towards her,

She jumped and run as fast as she can, yet the creature seemed to be catching up with her.

"HELP!" She shouted, "XIN! WHERE ARE YOU!" However, there was no response.

She cried while running because of fear, fear of end just like what happened to her dear parents.

While she was running, she stumbled on a fallen body of a tree that was on the way.

She tried to get up but the creature was already on its way to pounce on her,

Good thing Xin came just in time before the creature could do it.
