"Y-you won't leave me, right?" She asked looking up to the tall boy sitting next to her while healing the severe wound on his shoulder.

He look down and meet her innocent eyes with uncertainty and hope.

He nodded, "hmm, I won't." He assured and pat her head with his free hand.

She pouted but smile afterwards. "Your father was harsh. How can he not let you off the hook?"

He chuckled hearing her complain for his sake. He watch her annoyed face while remembering how he got his deep wound.

Habang siya'y nag-iinsayo sa paggamit ng pana lahat ng binibitawan niyang palaso ay laging tinatamaan ang sentro ng kanyang target but a single shot missed at bilang kaparusahan, his father took his bow and arrow and used him as his target, all he have to do was dodge the arrow. He's fine with that since pag-iinsayo niya narin iyon sa pag-ilag and he was the one who asked his father for that kind of punishment if he miss even a single hit.

Habang umiilag ay aksidenting hindi niya na balanse ang kanyang sarili kaya't tumama sa kanyang braso ang palaso na paparating at eksakto din ang pagdating ng batang babae at nakita ang pangyayari which she thought it was his father's fault.

"The fault falls in my account. I wasn't able to dodge the arrow." He explain but she just pouted even more and throw him a dagger look.

"H-hindi ba pwedeng huwag k-ka nalang mag ensayo?" Her voice cracked and her eyes starts glistening with clear crystal tears that's about to fall.

He shook his head then shifted his eyes to the wide horizon and heave a sigh, "I need to. I am the next head of the House of DiMarco," he drag his eyes back at her, "and how can I protect you if I'm still this lame? There's no way."

"Then I'll heal your wounds everytime." She presented.

Seeing how innocent her eyes is, he can't help but chuckle.

She's pure and innocent just like her entire appearance depicted, an angel who lost her way in the mortal realm full of deceitful and wicked humans.

"I'll now take my leave." She bowed her head and smile at him.

"How many times do I have to remind you not to bow down to me?" He asked with a grim expression, but instead of feeling scared like the maids around them, she just laugh lowly.

"Bye bye." She waved her hand.

"Hmm." He nodded before she turn her back and run while making a little quick sounds.

"Mom." She shouted upon seeing her mom inside the carriage.

"Hi little white winged angel." Her mom greeted her with a wide smile.

Agad siyang pumasok ng carriage habang inaalalayan ng kanyang lady-in-waiting. She immediately hug her mother.

"I miss you so much mom." She giggle as her mother sniff her neck.

"I miss you too angel."

Bumitaw siya mula sa pagkakayakap sa ina at sumilip sa bintana.

"Your grace." She shouted and wave her hand for the second time to bid goodbye.

He raise his right hand to wave a little bye kaya't malapad siyang napangiti. His face is devoid of emotion but she loves how he look handsome with emotionless face.

Umayos na siya sa pagkakaupo ng mag-umpisang umusad ang karwahe.

"Did you have a nice talk with the young DiMarco?" Her mother asked.
