Bind with Destiny

Chapter 23:

"Chill. We are not an enemy. We saw you unconscious near the river and someone wants to meet you. We are near the place, and since you are awake. You can walk on your own since I am tired of carrying you on my back the whole time,"

The man said as he looked at her with a poker face and fixed his clothes. Davina looked at him since this guy wears something similar to Raniel dahil may brooch ito at mamahalin ang damit base sa kanyang kasuotan.

"Then, where are we? Give me back my sword,"

"We are at the Count's Lancaster territory. Follow me since someone wants to meet you but before that, we should clean you up since you reek of blood,"

He said so she smelled herself and she smelled of blood since she didn't get to wash herself first before passing out near the river. However, she pulls her sword from him which makes him pull out his sword and already to cut her neck but she defends herself with her sword with the scabbard just in time.

"You should be really careful man. You are lucky that you are the one we are looking for if not I already cut your neck without hesitation,"

"Really? You are hesitating right now?"

Gustong matawa ni Davina sa kaniyang sinabi pero hindi niya magawa dahil hindi niya makitang nagaalanganin ang kaharap niya since he is not batting an eye and he didn't even putting down his sword away from her neck as she barely holding on since she is still not okay from the fight earlier and exhausted.

"Yes, you are tough to hold on despite your condition,"

"Should I thank you for the compliment?"

"No need to thank me. Are you one of the candidates at the capital who was lost by default?"

The guy asks her as he pulls back his sword and fixes his clothes again. Napaupo nalang siya matapos mailayo ang espada sa kaniyang leeg habang ang kasama naman niya agad siyang nilapitan na sa tingin niya ay mas mababang istado kumpara sa kaniya as he talk to him with respectful words.

"Are you okay? Can you stand up?"

"Yes, but no thanks," 

She said as she stood up on her own while the guy who almost sliced her neck looked at them with a poker face while his companion looked at him frowning.

"Your Grace, don't be so harsh with this young lad. We should go to an inn before going to the Count's house,"

"What? Didn't you see that he could still fight in his condition, I was inquisitive if he was one of the candidates that had been lost by default but I heard that it was two women and one guy who was with Count Kennedy's knight who refused to be assigned at the Royal Knight after being selected,"

"Even though, how could you do that to an injured person,"

"Yes, yes, let's go since I can't take this smell of blood on my clothes,"

He said as he obviously showed Davina his back which was stained with blood from her clothes and wounds. Davina just put back her sword on her waist and followed them as they walked towards an inn and everyone was looking at them but she could tell that she was what they were looking at because of her appearance but thankfully she still had her hood on her cloak. 

"Here, please take your time and change your clothes then come down after an hour so rest for a little before going to the Count's house,"

The guy's companion said to her as he handed him the key to her room and she nodded before going up to the stairs he pointed to where the room was after the 30-minute walk to the inn and she waited 10 minutes on the table where they left her earlier. She looked back if one of them followed her but no one since the guy who almost sliced her neck had already gone to his room earlier as she saw it on the stairs.
