Twisted Fairytale (Snow White With The Red Hair) (Ryu x OC)

Chapter 31- A Voice

Third person POV
It's been at a few hours ever since Clarines had acquire a formidable ally. Her gorgeous beauty and figure may not destruct the enemy of evil, but it can cause a distraction. Plus, the fact that she is one to hold reminiscence of great powers, it was a huge support for Clarines. Although this journey seems to only drag out, the kingdom is truly grand and vast to travel. For the castle is greatly near yet far from Clarines' force. But of course, it's too good to be true to be so close to their fighting destination.

"Prince Izana! We need to take cover immediately! We cannot take another step further on this journey just yet!" The one to abruptly stop the army from continuously going on, was the one and only woman, Hanayuki.

"Princess Hanayuki. If you are to interfere with my army's progress to save Kiroyuki, please do leave." Izana harshly fired back his words to Hanayuki. His eyes were clearly faded with worry, but one cannot clearly see this if they are not feeling his hidden aura. Izana's glare sharpened as he continued to walk forth, making the rest of the army follow.

Feeling the blood boil within her chest, Hanayuki released her hands from Obi's torso and jumped off the horse. This shocked the whole gang and the following soldiers who can see. It mainly shocked Ryu and Obi for they were the one who can see the action of her jumping off and running off more clearly. Hanayuki quickly went threw herself into the front lines of the trotting horses and men who layered around five rows after Izana and the gang. The very front row of men had taken action by stoping their horses in reaction to not run over the sacred woman.

Feeling the annoyance and anxiety bubbling up, Izana had to compose himself. "What are you doing woman? Move right now this instant!"

"No. I won't move from this very spot! Even if you try running over me... I will stop you with all of my remaining magic left within me!" With the icy cold stare burning through everyone's soul, the males near the front were terrified of the stare. The males in the back were unknown to the stare of the woman, but felt unsettled with atmosphere.

"You ridiculed woman! How would I know if you're not a spy in sheep's clothing!?"

"How stupid are you!? I heard that you're suppose to be skillful and intelligent, but you're a bunch of bullshit! Your trust instinct is quite frail if you cannot trust me! If I was a spy, then Obi or Ryu would have noticed my aura! I can sense a dark force miles ahead of us! This dark force can even possibly kill me in this condition! I'm trying to save all of your god damn lives here!"

Panting and huffing, Izana was quite impressed with Hanayuki. For a single woman to do this, Hanayuki has earned izana's trust.

'What a strange woman indeed... She's really interesting and quite the stubborn one...' Scoffing in disbelief, Obi was dumbfounded. He was truly more fond of Hanayuki in such short time.

"Lord brother-" Turning furiously yet confusingly, Zen saw the approving look in his brother's eyes. "Princess Hanayuki, I apologize on the behalf of my brother. Clarines would again like to rejoin with your independent force. But first, are your instincts correct?"

"Zen, these aren't my instincts- It's my soul and heart who's telling me of the dark danger that lurks in me. It's very unsettling and I can envision the crazed warriors of blood. It is safer for us to head to South from where we are. We can no longer head east. Plus, by heading South, we could reach a secret entrance into the castle despite this route being longer."

Izana nodded his head once in approval of her existence and his knowledge of how far her trust can go. Zen was intrigued and speechless, but Izana spoke up for him.
