WHEN LOVE BATTLES WITH DEATH [#Missiondesi]

# 18 BACK TO THE BATTLE WITHOUT YOU

She turned back with fear and she sighed when she saw Cyrus coming towards her.

She ran to him and hugged him.

Cyrus embraced her in his arms and lifted her such that her feet were above the ground.

They kissed each other and they stayed hugging silently for some more time.

Later he dropped her and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Amitis replied innocently, "A maid said that you are waiting at the top of the tower to meet me that's why I came here."

Cyrus in his heart, rewound the moments which happened just before.

Cyrus who had been told by a soldier that he was called by Arses who was in charge of the protection on the left side of the Royal audience, left his seat and went to meet him, but met him on his way and he realized that something dangerous was in progress when Arses replied that he haven't called him.

But to avoid the ruin of the peace in the celebration Cyrus managed Arses by telling something and left to his place.

When he returned he noticed Amitis who was not at her place at once he rushed to the corridor behind the Royal women audience and he noticed Amitis who has been walking fast in the corridor and disappearing in to the steps to the down stairs.

Cyrus ran behind her and he was unable to call out her name since she has been walking too far in front of him.

He was confused when he noticed her entering in to the tower.

He ran in to the tower and found her standing with fearful eyes at the top most balcony of the tower.

Any how he sensed her tensed heart and frozen body because of fear and continued to hug her to bring her to normal state.

Her reply to his question made him to realize that Amitis had undergone a trap and he was unable to guess the person behind the trap. But he didn't want to make her realize that something was going wrong.

So Cyrus brought out his naughty smile saying, "Yes I did so just to make you realize how much I missed you today."

She rested her head on his chest saying, "I too missed you a lot."

He embraced her in his arms and he stood quietly with her and they returned to the palace later.

While returning Cyrus asked Amitis, "Amitis I wish to see that maid who conveyed my message to you. I just wanted to give her a gift."

Amitis pursed her lips saying, "I can't remember her clearly but if I find her I will bring her to you." saying she smiled like a kid.

Cyrus pats her head with a smile but he felt sad thinking that Amitis was in danger. He wanted her to advise her to have her sword with her always from then but he feared that it might frighten her and he decided to convey that advice on the next day.

Finally the celebrations got over after midnight and after that the King and the Queen called Amitis to them and they gave their blessings to her along with lots and lots of royal gifts on their behalf.

Amitis left the Royal palace in a chariot followed by loads of gifts from the King and the Queen.

Cyrus who has been standing at the steps of the palace kept looking at Amitis with a heavy heart thinking that if he haven't found her at the right time, she would had faced the trap which might had made to kill her.

His mind kept on roaming to get a hint of a person who was behind the trap and his eyes kept on searching the soldier who told him that Arses was in need of him.
