The Imprisoned Dragon - Blade, Dan Heng IL

11. Touch

"Oh my... It's beautiful!"

Blade mumbled something nobody could actually understand as he was walking through the streets after they left their horse by a Tavern to also book a room.

The swordman was looking disinterested at the city that clearly was showing off the wealth of the reagent family. The streets were lively and the buildings around were perfectly mantained. Markets were selling fresh food from different countries and artists were performing happily, making the atmosphere dynamic and happy.

Blade was walking next to Dan Heng who looked like a baby, as he couldn't believe his eyes the city was actually the opposite of being destroyed. He kept himself silent as his red eyes were on the dragon who was looking around with his horns almost getting off the hood, but nobody would have cared as the city was mostly like a big refuge for anyone who was different or against the Emperor.

"Do not run like that!" the soldiers of Talon tried to chase Dan Heng as he was exploring the markets and be excited to see what the other countries had to offer. For some reasons Talon and his unit were still escorting them.

"He looks like he has never been to a city" Talon was walking next to Blade, who looked fiercely towards the captain of the Guard "Tell me, Blade, who is he, really?"

Blade looked at him with an annoyed stare "No one you should be worried about."

Talon crossed his arms and Blade stopped, facing the man as the soldiers were chasing Dan Heng "Blade, do you understand that everyone in the city is probably whispering about your return?"

"Why, do they fear I want to slain someone in the untouchable ground?" Blade smiled "I woudn't mind to have a bloodbath, starting from you" he confessed, making Talon look at him with a severe stare.

"As Captain of the Guard, I must know" Talon stand his ground "Do you wish to get married?"

Blade almost fell on the ground as Talon was pointing at Dan Heng who was enjoying something the guards bought him. His eyes were shining happily and someone noticed the point of his tail moving happily as it was a bit out of the long brown robe.

"What.... In the... Aaah" Blade was feeling terribly in awe and mad towards Talon spontaneous question.

"Me and the guards thought the only way someone can stay close to you and not dying.. managed to get to your solitary heart... So did you choose this city to get ma..."

Blade held the neckband of his armor, and pulled him closer as his red eyes were literally glowing out of madness "How annoying how you wish to die but we're in a holy ground, if it wasn't I would have slained you like a damn pig, you better shut up" he whispered as he gnashed his teeth.

"So no marriage" Talon sighed to then look at the guards, who were waiting for a sign, but apparentlly the sign they got was a negative and they sighed.

"What a useless thought got in your perverted brain, I swear you definitely like to play with my patience" Blade said as he felt flustered "Also, why are you still walking with us?"

"I will make sure you're here for what you said you're here for" he said and Blade looked at him with a deadly stare "O-Of course for this reason, do not stare at me like that, you're dangerous, I am just making sure the city will stay peaceful"

"Whatever" Blade said to then flinch once he noticed Dan Heng looking at him from distance as he was eating something that made the swordman feel inside a bad feeling.

"NO!" he exclaimed and the dragon tilted his head as the guards, who were looking at the two, once they turned to look back at Dan Heng, their stares got worried for the food he was tasting under the merchant's happy face
