Kahit sobra-sobra yung pagkakabalot nung mukha ni Sir Noah ay nakilala ko pa rin siya dahil sa boses niya. Siya lang naman kilala kong gwapo ang boses eh.


May inilabas na panyo si Sir Noah tsaka niya pinunasan yung luha ko tsaka yung sipon ko. Letche! "L-let me do it", sabay kuha ko doon sa panyo niya. Nakakahiya ka forever, Violet.


Now that I've calmed down, nakakapag-isip na ako ng mabuti. Of course, nandiyan pa rin yung mga naghahabol saamin.


"But, Sir Noah, who are they? Why are they following us?", bulong ko sakaniya.


"They're the crown prince's shadow", sagot ni Sir Noah na ikinakunot-noo ko.


"The crown prince's shadow?", ulit ko. Ano daw? Shadow?


"They're elite knights formed by the crown prince secretly. Their existence is kept hidden as most of their work is assassinations", heh?


"Since they are following us, it means that they are going to kill us, right?", hindi sumagot si Sir Noah bagkos hinawakan niya ang kamay ko.


"Lady Violet, this must be too much to ask, but once I give the signal, I want you to run as fast as you can. I will distract them", ani niya.


"Are you crazy? How could you fight them alone?", lima kaya silang humahabol saamin. "You're right. You ask me too much. H-how can you ask me to leave you alone? No, I'm not leaving you here, Sir Noah", tsaka ko siya pinandilatan ng mata. Like never, I'm not going to run and leave him.


"Haaa... seriously. You're crazy... or I'm the crazy one", ani niya lang sabay hawak sa ulo niya. Sorry pero matigas ulo ko. Besides, there is still something I wanna know.


"But Sir Noah, aren't you a knight of the crown prince? W-why are you helping me?", base on the novel, Sir Noah was describe as the loyal knight. What I'm seeing right now is completely different. "You were admired by a lot of people for your unconditional loyalty".


"You highly praise me, Lady Violet. A lowly knight like me is not worthy to be praised by you", huh? What are you talking about? And what lowly knight? Isn't he aware that he is also quite famous and that no one dares even belittle him?


"However, as a knight appointed to guard the crown prince, I was simply doing my job. I may have been regarded as a loyal knight of the crown prince in the public, but I still have my own doubts", sabi niya na siyang ikinataka ko. Magtatanong pa sana ako nang biglang may nauna saakin.


"And this is why the crown prince also questions your loyalty", singit nung isang assassin sabay sugod kay Sir Noah. Buti nalang at mabilis reflex ni Sir Noah at nasangga ng sword niya yung sword nung isa.


Pasimple kong inaabot yung dagger ko sa may legs ko. Pasalamat nalang ako at laging dalawa ko ito. Nararamdaman kong papalapit na rin yung iba saamin.


"How could you betray the crown prince, Sir Noah? Now, hand over the lady", excuse me?
