Alicea's pov:
Oh no oh nonono!!! I should have been more carefull since I was a little tired from the heat of the sun. I am absolutely petrified by fear. I am absolutely in no position of not being suspected of potential rebellion.I guess. I am still a captive in a foreign land since I am here against my will. Thankfully the ruler is kind and mercyful.
My mind is all blank. What do I do?! I could have almost kill him due to instinctively fighting to subdue the enemy without any concious thought and intent. Thankfully I was aware enough to just do self defence. If this was a battle ground I would have most likely killed him if I was suddenly attacked unless otherwise ordered. And also I have a double sided reputation. It gives great honour and strikes fear in some other's hearts."Are-are you-y al-alright?" I blabbered out.
"Ya I'm alright" Luwi answered.
"I am terribly sorry! I-I- Please don't misunderstand," I try to apologize.
I get on my knees trembling. "Please don't kill me even though I am in no position of sayng this,".
"Woah woah now! This ain't that bad, also you ain't to blame," Luwi responded in an lightly panicked tone.
"And for the love of all livin' please get up before there is a misunderstanding" Luwi pleaded.
I get up. The atmosphere is to say the least quite awkward.
"So uhh... I was so much into my thoughts that the perception of my surroundings more or less dimmed" I started to explain.
"It's alright I'm to blame anyway" Luwi responded guilty.
How come? Confusion engulfs me. Luwi seemed to notice my utter confusion.
"I was so curious 'bout the stories of ya bein' true that I thought I'd try to sparr with ya. Thought that you'd notice me if I just approach you from your front, that you'd see me. Boy was I wrong," Luwi explained.
"Also I noticed how you were startled but then I thought that you noticed and recognized me since you got defensive. I realized that you didn't when I commented on your skills you didn't answer.I thought that you tried to kill me so I fought back but that only intensified your attacks. I noticed how you were getting swifter and desperately tryin´ to disarm me with a blank expression on yo face. When you yoinked my sword from me. I tried to call your name but in vain, you pinned me to the ground. On the ground I thought that those moments were my last moments honestly and well you know the rest " Luwi continued.
Tears start streaming down my cheeks after hearing his explanation. I didn't realize how bad it was.
"I am terribly sorry, please forgive me. I absolutely did not mean to harm you" I apologize. Like a waterfall tears stream down from my eyes. I try hard to not start sobbing.
"Shoot, she's cryin'" I heard Luwi whisper out.
"I forgive you Ally. I'm also sorry for startling you like an idiot" Luwi apologized.
I wiped my tears away. We look at each other. I inspect Luwi from head to toe__
"Gah! You're bleeding!". I look around, the scythe's blade was stained red.
"I'm fi_"
"No you are not!"
Immediately I take the headveil from my head to tend the wound.
"Oh no! You need stitches and to get it disinfected. Where's the infirmary?!". I grab Luwi's left arm since his rigth arm is injured.We hurry to the infirmary, Luwi instructing every twist and turn. Tears just keep on streaming down my cheeks. We finally reach the infirmary. A nurse greeted us and led us to the infirmary's chairs. The nurse went to get all the things to patch the wound. It was quiet for a while, then the nurse came back the needed things. This is just horrible, like a nightmare. Please just be a nightmare so that I can wake up! I feel so helpless in this foreign land. Then I hear someone or more rush in.
"Luwi! You alright?! What happened?!"
Your majesty? I look up and see his majesty in the room. It seems like doesn't notice me.
"Will he be okay?"his majesty asked the nurse.
"Yes, he will be ok my king. He just needs a few stitches" the nurse answered his majesty.After hearing that Luwi's fine and his majesty seemingly unaware of my presence I take my leave and sneak out of the infirmary. Hands covering my face I run back to my room. When I get to my room I close the door and collapse on my knees beside my bed. The has set and now the bright light of the moon lit my room. I take my glasses off and sob my heart out. Aahh_haa!! *sniff. Im-I'm not -cryin-g tha-t Luwi got tha-hat sss-scaarrr*hiccup*SNIFF SSthaht it_it coul'''dve be*sneeze woorrsee!! AhaaAUhaaahaa!!!! HraaaAAa!!!*Cough cough!! Everything's going downhill..Whyy?! Oh whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!? I DON'T WANT TTO BE HERE! I HATE THIS. THINGS WERE GOING SMOOTHLY AND THEN I DO A MISCALCULATION AND THEN THIS HAPPENS. SO UNFAIR. FIRST MOM THEN CONSTANDI AND NOW THIS STUBIT STUPIT EXILE!!! WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?
I bawl my eyes out and cry my heart out on this cold. I_I'm scared. Am I going to die? I don't want to die. I promised to live meaningfully. I miss you my dear. Oh how wish you would be by my side. While bawling and sobbing I hear gentle footsteps approaching.
