When Beauty Destroys The BL World

Her agony

Looking at the fate of the evil side character, Irene turn to look back at the golden masked man.
The golden masked man lower down the crossbow as he walks towards her.
Feeling frightened, Irene stay still and didn't dare to move a muscle.
The golden masked man kneel down one knee as he lean towards her face. Irene didn't dare to look away.
"Do you know who I am?" He asks.
Irene nods her head, trembling.
The golden masked man then chuckles.
"To think that you been out of reach, when the truth is you have been so near...this whole time." He said.
She whimper in pain when he suddenly grips her arm hard, bring it up close her wrist that wearing the amulet.
"You have make a fool out of me. And to Lucas...." This time he took out his dagger. Irene grew terrified.
"Now, you will die. And everything will become peace again. With you gone."
Just as he tried to stab the dagger at Irene, he then sense something.

Swissh!!

A dagger was thrown towards him. The golden masked man quickly dodged it.
Irene was shocked. She open her eyes to see Arlo stood in front of her. Protecting her.
"Arlo...." Irene felt relieved and the same time her heart was touched, for he had come to her rescue again.
Arlo turn to look at her. He frowned to see her miserable state. Arlo looks back at his opponent.
"I'm sorry...I'm late again." He expresses his regrets.
Irene was about to reply, but Arlo has make his move to eliminate his opponent.

Clang!!

The golden masked man swiftly blocked his attack. The same as Arlo. Both seem to be equal in swordfight. None of them can reach eachother. Irene become worried seeing Arlo, fighting against the male lead, Crown Prince Nickolai. In the novel, both of them strong and skillfull in fight. But still, the halo of the male lead is something the second male lead can't go up against.
Then she heard something. She looks up the ceilling to see that is going to collapsed.
"Arlo, watch out!" She warned him. Both Arlo and the golden masked man avoid being crashed by the burning celling. As the flame makes a line of border between them, Arlo take the chances to carry Irene and use a rope that still intact to swing towards the ground floor. Both landed safely.
Arlo help her up to the exit. When suddenly....

Swissh!!

An arrow was shot and landed on Arlo leg.
"Ah!" He grimaced in pain.
Irene was shocked. She looks up to see that the golden masked man is aiming towards them.
"No!!" She quickly put herself infront to protect Arlo.

Swissh! Another arrow was shot.

Arlo swiftly pulled Irene to his behind, as the arrow landed on his body. He coughed out blood.

"Noo!!" Irene couldn't believe he still trying to protect her, regardless of his condition.
The golden masked man was about to shoot again, when the black masked man stops him.
"Your highness! We should leave. This place is going to collapsed. We will die if don't get out here now." He reminded the golden masked man, who is now revealed to be indeed, the Crown Prince Nickolai.
Nickolai who is behind the golden mask lower his crossbow as he then leaves with the black masked man.

Irene become anxious as she see Arlo injuries. She desperately held him, as he almost fall down. He had lost his energy on his leg.
Arlo despite the pain pull out the arrow from his leg and chest. Blood flowing out from his wound. Irene hurriedly put her hand on his wound, as if it could stop the bleeding. Tears escaped from her eyes. For the first time, she didn't know what to do.
"Irene...you have to leave this place now...." Arlo told her.
She shakes her head vehemently.
"I won't leave you." She said firmly.
"Please, Irene....you have to go now..." He plead, weakly.
Irene started to cry, as she looks lost. She looks around, hoping for a miracle to save him.
"Irene..." Seeing his pale face due to loss of blood, it struck a pain in her heart. She doesn't want to lose him. She won't. She refused.
"No, we are going out together." Irene then forced herself to get up, despite the pain on her thigh. She tries to drag Arlo towards the exits.
"You promised me, you'll keep me safe! You have to keep your promises!" She stated. She whimpered in pain as she drag Arlo with the small amount of strength she had.
"Don't close your eyes...we're almost...there." Irene remind him as she struggle to drag Arlo heavy body.
"Irene...there's something I want to say...to you...." He said.
Hearing that, make her heart hurt.
"No, don't say like that...you'll going to live!" She said, holding up her sobs.
Suddenly, someone pull her hand, causing Arlo to falls down on the ground.
"Wha..." She turned to see, Verick Wickson.
"No! No! Let go of me!" Irene struggling to escape from his grasp.
"Shut up, before I'll shut you up!" Verick threatened.
"No! No! Please save him! Please! I'll do whatever you said! Please! Don't leave him behind..." She desperately begs in tears.
"You be stupid to think I'll do what you said!" Verick mocked her, as he pulls her out.
Irene see that he won't listen, bite his hand hard.
"Aahhh!"
Irene tries to run towards Arlo.
"Irene...." Arlo calls her name, weakly on the ground.
"You little whore!" Verick shouted. He hit her head using his head dagger, causing her to fainted on his arm. Verick then carried her, leaving Arlo behind.
Arlo seeing her finally gone, feeling both relieved and sad. Relief, for she had leave this burning place. And sad, because....he couldn't tell her...his true feelings. That will be his only regrets. Losing a lot of blood, Arlo finally closes his eyes. With tears falls from his eyes. The place collapsed as the flame eat the place down.
