Later, Harry strides over to me with determination. "I'm going to untie you now because you're needed," he announces, swiftly working on the knot.
"Finally! But why do you need my help?" I inquire, a hint of amusement coloring my tone.
"I don't particularly need it, but Uma thinks otherwise. Mal's on her way to fetch the wand and free the King," he explains, a touch of irritation evident.
"Where's your usual charm, Harry? Lighten up," I jest, a smile tugging at my lips.
"I do need a sword though," I interject, steering the conversation back to the task at hand.
"In the corner over there," he points, and I retrieve a sword. As I turn around, Harry playfully raises his sword, aiming a mock attack at me. With swift reflexes, I manage to block it just in time.
"Careful, Harry! You almost got me there!" I exclaim, a mix of surprise and amusement in my voice.
"If you couldn't defend yourself, you wouldn't be much help," he retorts with a grin.
Rolling my eyes, I walk away, twirling the sword in my hand.
As Uma approaches, I nod in acknowledgment.
When she heads straight for Ben, Harry's playful side resurfaces. I stick around to catch their conversation.
"How does it feel being a king now, eh?" Harry taunts, a smirk playing on his lips.
As Harry chuckles briefly, my Heart wants to jump out of my chest . Oh my goodness- his chuckle is like the sweetest, and most attractive chuckle I've ever heard!!
'Focus, y/n!' I say to myself.
"Give it a rest, Harry. Give it a rest. We don't wanna damage the goods" Uma says , when Harry wants to push it further.
"YOU said that I could Hook him!" Harry confronts Uma
"I said at noon" Uma responds
I heard enough so I go away . I sit down near a corner and just think about... something...someone...
"They're here!" Gil screams.
Immediately, I jump up and make my way to Harry and Uma. As I stand next to Harry, he lays his Arm around my shoulders. When I try to free myself, I fail so I just sigh out loud.
After the tense negotiation between Mal and Uma, we finally acquire the wand. But something feels off.
"Uma, something's not right," I observe as her spell fails to penetrate the wall.
Indeed, the wand is a counterfeit. Rushing to Mal's side, I find myself in a scuffle with a formidable opponent—likely Mulan's daughter.
.
After hitting her in her ribs with all my strength, she instantly falls on the ground , giving a loud, painful sigh. I raise my sword to ..you know, kill her? But right before I can drop the sword, someone pushes me away and falls on me.. turns out, it's Jay. As he lifts up his Head, our Eyes meet and I smile ironically .
"How are you JayJay?" I ask , just to make him feel awkward. But before he can Stand up, he gets pulled up by Harry. I stand up fast.
" Don't touch her again, Jay. She belongs to me." Harry threatens him.
" I don't belong to anyone" I say upset but they just ignore me and start fighting. When Jay got Harry's Hook and throws it in the Sea, of course, Harry jumps in too.
" Harry!" I scream, while Jay runs away.
Patiently, I wait for Harry to come back.
Once he returns, I help him back onto the jetty, our efforts leaving me soaked.
As we hurry to the bridge connecting to the tunnel, we arrive too late. The bridge, a fragile structure, has been swept away.
