[ShadowxReader] - Into the Kingdom's carnage

~ Chapter 7: A girl beat your behind ~

I turned around and passed by him to go back to the training area inside, walking in front of everybody again. We arrived quickly and I just waited into my attack position until he came up in front of me. I began to attack directly, trying to forget everything around and to just focus on my hits.

Lancelot: Good. Keep your focus and balance.

At some point, he just fake-hit a side and actually almost hit the other at few centimetres from my leg.

Lancelot: You tend to often forget your legs. Without them, you can't run away if needed to secure yourself.

It was only a question of logic. I switched my sword for a kind of stick who had tridents at each end. That was perfect. The hedgehog looked at me and we fought. That battle was demanding and maybe I was engaging an open-combat for being so forceful with my hits. He began to hit back harder too and took many steps towards me. At some point, I looked into his eyes. Determined as I was, I didn't fear him and I had the blades of my weapon next to his cheek. His sword was next to my side. If it would have been into a real fight... The first that would have died would be him. I would have win. I put the weapon back at its place and came back to bowed in front of him.

Lancelot: That's what I thought... You're even more greater than what they think you are.

There was a small smirk onto his muzzle but I ignored it completely.

Y/N: I would like to go if the lesson is over now. I have to go helping at the stables.

He was quiet for a moment and just stared at me. What a lovely dream it was to have believed that something could have happen between...

Lancelot: I'm... Going to take you back there.

Y/N: You do not have to.

He took my wrist and pulled me closer to him but someone opened the door. I took my hand away and walked out after I bowed in front of the Sire Gawain. Weirdly, I was mad. Mad at myself for believing in those fantasies. If I was meant to be lonely, then that would be it and I was going to deal with it alone. His steps were following me and I waited for him outside to call out for his horse, which he did. He climbed first and I did after. We didn't talk the entire ride and half of the way I asked if he could go more faster. Not answering me, Lancelot ignored me completely. I was going to talk-back but something caught my attention. I got off and ran towards an alley between two stores. A women was there and three men had their hands on her. I yelled to get their attention.

Y/N: Well misters, that isn't nice at all to attack a young lady that can't defend herself and when people aren't nice... I become not quite nice myself.

They seemed surprised for a second but they let go the girl with a pink fur and came towards me. Next thing I knew, I had a shovel in my hands. They directly attacked me but it wasn't long before the two were knocked out and one had "sadly", a cut on his side.

Y/N: Oops. Seems like a girl just beat your behind misters. On this, I wish you a great afternoon. Miss?

I put my hand out with gallantry and waited for her to come closer. She quickly followed me and we got out of the dark place. A certain real knight was waiting for me.

Y/N: Now Miss, you must be careful in case that those guys still want to take advantage of you.

I tried to discretely put a paper, which was a small map, inside of her hand.

Y/N: If you ever need my help again for better protection.

I was about to go away but the pink hedgehog called me.

Amy: My name is Amy Rose, what's yours brave saviour?

Y/N: ... You might see me around more.

I just smiled and still walked away, the Sire on my steps. We climbed back onto the horse and he finally speed-up to the stables.
