Back to You - Dan Heng IL, Blade

16. Soothing Melody

When Blade and Dan Heng got out of the room, some shinobis came and bowed in front of the Prince, who was keeping his arm around the waist of the Imbibitor.

Dan Heng tried to move because it was kinda embarassing, but Blade held him tighter, making him flinch "What is it?" Blade's tone was serious and deep like he was in the battleground. The Imbibitor could feel shivers down his spine.

"We've received an emergency of a sudden invasion of trolls from the Dark Forest" one of the shinobi stepped in front

"Bro what? Dark Forest? Trolls? Are we in a farytail? Hope it's not written by Grim dudes you know" he said ironically to then laugh and cough as he noticed no one was actually laughing "Seriously? Trolls? Exist?" he blushed as Blade laid a hand on his head to turn him off

"Seems the Imbibitor has a lot of memories to regain yet" Blade looked at him to then sigh and notice his shinobi almost sweating

"The general has called up more units, we're going your Highness, we got asked to give you a rapport" the shinobi said but he felt like he had to stay still as Blade's eyes were locked on him for a moment.

Blade sighed and looked at Dan Heng "No need, I am joining"

Dan Heng looked at Blade feeling actually worried "Wait, you're going? You're the Prince, not Harry Potter?" he looked at the shinobi "And even if they're all covered, I am pretty sure no one is a ginger so no Ron Weasley, what the fuck? You can't risk your life" he explained, feeling actually full logic on his side, but the shinobi and Blade were just looking at him with a puzzled stare.

"What the..." Blade sighed hard "I have no idea what you're talking about but I am a shinobi as well and I don't mind joining battles" said with an obvious tone "Plus with me, it's going to be way faster" he looked at the shinobi "Bring me the armor, let's not waste time" the shinobi bowed and Dan Heng looked surprised.

Was he serious? Okay he was maybe strong but why going if already shinobi units were?

"What the, hey!" Dan Heng grabbed his hand to get his attention "You're a noble and the owner of the land, bro, maybe it's even a trap to get you there and kill you, who knows! I have read so many manhwas with this shit, trust me!"

"What's with this... are you worried about me?" Blade laughed as Dan Heng felt his face getting warmer.

"What... No!" Dan Heng crossed his arms and looked away "How... are the trolls by the way?" he muttered "Are they... big? Bigger than you?" he asked embarassed and Blade tilted his head, enjoying the view.

He was effortlessly cute.

"They're definitely bigger than humans, their strenght is surely challenging even for the best martial artist, but they're slow, which gives the shinobi tons of advantage" he explained and Dan Heng tried to imagine those creatures and got shivers.

So he was in a world were awful creatures were actually real... He looked at his own tail and almost laughed. Of course, if half dragons exist then he could expect even Michael Jackson vampire edition who knows.

"ToNS oF AdVanTage" Dan Heng did imitate his voice and Blade looked at him amused from his nervous reaction "Why the hell are you smiling? It's dangerous and... Shit, even your shinobi..." he did bite his own lips "May I come? I can't assure I will heal because I kinda... haven't trained since the feast, but maybe I can do something"

Dan Heng was scared to death, but he didn't want to see Blade getting hurt.

I mean surely he did deserve Dan Heng's punches and kicks along with the psychological pain, but this doesn't mean he wanted Blade to get hurt by creatures.
