The Lost Prince (TechnobladexFemReader)

Chapter 10(End Of Part 1)

"I can't..."

Your hand dropped and you stared at Techno with a look of despair. Your sadness quickly turned to rage and you snapped at him.

"why not?!"

"I...I can't tell you, please just get out of here before you regret it"

You shook your head in disbelief. These people were mercenaries! Why didn't he want to run?! You pleaded one last time, not noticing from the corner of your eye that one of the men had finally noticed your presence.

"Please Techno... If we run now we can still make it..."

He looked at you with a sympathetic expression.

"if you run now...I'll stop them from following you"

You looked over at the men who had their swords pointed right at you. One smiled a sick perverted smile that made you even angrier.

"What have we got here, boys?"

You frowned.

"There's no way I'm leaving you!"

You quickly stood in front of techno holding your knife in a protective stance in the middle of him and the mercenaries. Even if it cost you your life you weren't going to let your only friend die here.

"I'll protect you!"

The three men laughed at your attempted heroism, while Techno looked on at the scene unfolding before his eyes...you...Would you protect him? for a split second a fire of hope ignited in technos eyes.

"you're gonna protect him? Look at you shaking like a mouse! Do you even know how to use that little thing?"

"no fucking clue!" you smiled, letting all of the stupid courage inside you swell, for the first time in forever you didn't feel like hiding or cowering in your cottage hidden far away from the world. You wouldn't stand back and pretend nothing happened. And if Techno didn't have the will to protect himself.

You would.

"I'm gonna kill you little mouse"

One of the men stepped forward waving his sword around cockily.

"Then I'm gonna show the king that I killed a witch...you know how much money I'll get from that?!"

One of the mercenaries lunged towards you going for a wide swing in order to end the fight as quickly as possible. You braced for impact getting ready to fight with your small knife but someone covered your eyes from behind.

The hands were warm, you could feel someone's chest closely behind you and the knife being gently taken from your fingers. After several seconds there was no pain, perhaps you were already dead.

"I'm sorry I was such a coward..."

A familiar silky voice whispered in your ear, it was Techno.

"W-What the hell did you do?!" one of the mercenaries' voices shouted.

You went to remove Technos hand from your eyes but it didn't budge.

"keep your eyes closed..."

With a shaky nod you shut your eyes tight, his warm hand withdrew quickly and his presence from behind you was gone in a flash. You could hear sounds of flesh being sliced, hot blood being splattered on the ground and the clashing of metal.

"w-what the hell is wrong with you two?! He's just got a shitty knife!"

One of the mercenaries yelled out but his companions did not reply. You stood there shaking, wondering if Techno was alright but not wanting to go against your word you stood still.
