The successor : warrior of north

Chapter 7

ZANDER

As the meeting ended she ran towards the door. That man from earlier was running behind her. As expected he is her father. I can't believe he let his beautiful daughter travel this much distance alone and didn't even came searching for her. If I had a daughter like her , first of all I won't make her upset. Second of all I won't let her travel a distance like this alone, even if I had to lock her up. Now I'm more curious about the problems in her home. I rushed towards her. One of my guard was already following her which made my searching simple. Her father caught up with her quickly in the royal garden and grabbed her wrist. I guess she was trying to hide in the garden. He was kind of shouting at her. I didn't mind at first, because he's her father afterall. But something changed my mind as he tighten the grip around her wrist which made her cry. At first it felt funny to see her running away from her father but now I wanna beat him to death. I walked fast towards her and pulled her other hand to me which made her fall on my chest. I grabbed her waist to support her. He began to yell at me. What an insolent man, he don't know how to treat a girl or how to talk to a man. I can't believe he's from a selected family. As he saw my guards he retreated.
                        She stood there clenching onto my shirt for sometime. She didn't move an inch from there. Then she looked into my eyes and said " Thankyou ". Her eyes were still wet. She was short ,that when she looked up her head was about 2 inches above my elbow. Fragile yet beautiful. Her friend was watching these all from a safe distance. From her look I understood that she was not giving sometime to her friend to recover but that girl was afraid of me. I let her go and wiped her wet cheeks. She looked at me with her big eyes. It felt like she was trying to capture me alive with her big eyes. Her cheeks were so soft like a baby pillow. She went towards her friend in silence and walked away from there. I made sure that her father doesn't saw her leaving by distracting him with my guards. I got inside of my carriage , that's when I felt the smell of something unusual. It was a smell of roses mixed with something and it was coming out of my shirt. The portion where she hugged me tightly. The smell itself was soothing. But it was fainting. I wanted to smell it more. I have to find some way to smell it again. I'm sorry little bunny I'm obsessed with this smell. Don't blame me.
                        Same time Della's POV: "Alice I have to go I guess my father just spotted me". I ran with all my strength. I knew that I couldn't leave the place without Alice. So I ran towards the royal garden. My long gown was making it difficult for me to run. I was about to hide and suddenly dad caught me. He was fuming in anger. He told me to come back because he fixed my marriage. For a second I was happy that my dad called me back to home. The next second my mind changed. " They are ready to give us money and we don't need to pay for any of the marriage expenses. Afterall the Enoch's are super rich" he said as he pulled me out of the garden. I wondered the Enoch family had no one left to marry then who is he talking about. When I asked him his answer was " Hugo Enoch " , Now I really wanna run away from him. Hugo Enoch was a famous rich pervert who was in his late 50s. His wife died in a young age due to some disease. He's gonna marry me? A girl who might be same age as his daughter? I tried to ran away but dad tighten his grip on my wrist. I was already crying. It was not because of the pain, but my dad thinks of me as some kind of doll that he can sell to others for money. The only thing  I wish for now is to someone to save me from him. Suddenly I felt a big hand on mine which pulled me to the other side. All I can see was a black shirt and also I felt the warmth of a hand on my waist which was also covering me with his long black coat. I didn't even look who he was. When dad yelled at him I hugged him tight in fear of dragging me away.  When dad left and I felt a little bit relieved, I looked at his face. It was him. The face that I have been looking for. He wiped my tears. His hands were so big. I walked towards Alice and went home. All the way home I could feel his warmth around my waist. It felt like he was with me. I explained everything to Alice. Now she thinks that my dad is more dangerous than the Dark valley people.
