I am sooo sorry for not updating last Friday. There was some family problems and I wasn't able to do it so I'm sorry. And also, I probably updating next week too cause I have a big project to do so I'm sorry again. Please forgive me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I saw no one, I returned my focus back to the bandits and lashed at them. I swung my sword at the bandit that almost took my life and slashed him from his left shoulder to his right abdomen. He let out a cry but I quickly silenced him with another swing of my sword. The other bandits gave me faces with horror. I just gave them a smirked in return. That's what you get for messing with me, I thought.

"She's a monster!" Cried out one of the bandit.

"L-let's leave before our h-h-head falls down like h-his," stuttered another. Right when he said that, the three bandits tried to run away. One even tripped because he was shaking with fear.

I just laugh at them and said, "Heh, you won't be able to get away."

I first attacked the bandit that tripped. I didn't even give him a chance to beg for mercy before beheading him. Next, I threw my sword at one of the bandits that was trying to escape. My sword pierced through the guy and he fell down. I ran towards the corpse and removed my sword from the body. I looked over to Damien to see how he was doing but he was gone except the corpses of the seven bandits.

"Sky behind you!" Damien screamed at me.

I quickly turned around but I was too late. One of the two bandits that I haven't finished off managed to cut my arm as I used it to block his sword.

"Aargh!" I cried out in pain.

Unfortunately, the bandit had cut my right arm, which mean I couldn't use my sword anymore. The bandit didn't waste any time to swing his sword again. My situation now was the same as earlier but I didn't give up this time because if I died, I wouldn't be able to avenge my parents. I saw that Damien had started running towards me and got angry. I can protect myself I thought as I ready myself to kick the bandit in the gut. But before I can do anything, something flew at the bandit and caused him to fall down. I looked closely at it and it looked similar to the dagger that flew out of nowhere.

A voice behind me was heard all of a sudden. "Ah. There's goes another one of my precious girl."

I quickly turned around to see a guy with different color eyes. He looks familiar I thought. I was staring at him until he spoke up.

"My. If you keep staring at me like that then I'm going to get embarrassed princess."

Princess? Why? I was thinking until it came to me. My eyes widen in shock and my jaw dropped. No way! My face started feeling hot as I remembered the kiss.

"W-w-why are y-you here?!" I stuttered as I mentally cursed myself for stuttering and blushing.

"Shouldn't you thank the person who saved your life not once but twice?" He said.

I was about to say something but Damien pushed me behind him to protect me. I couldn't help but angry at the thought that he thinks I can't protect myself so I pushed him out of my way.

"I'm not a child who needs your protection," I said to Damien coldly as my emotionless face returned.

Damien gave me a Are you fucking serious right now? look and I just sent him a glare. I turned my focus back to the mysterious guy and saw that he had an amused look on his face and so I sent him a glare too. I grabbed Kina, Damien's sword, out of his hand and pointed it at the guy's neck.

"Who the hell are you and what are you doing you?" I asked with venom in every single words.

The guy replied, "Now now princess. I'll tell everything after I finish off your business first."

Right when he said that, he disappeared from his spot and appeared behind the last bandit and twisted his neck. Who the hell is this guy? I thought.
