Honor

⚜️ Betrayal ⚜️

Looking at the time on my watch I was already done for catching the bus... I sighed to myself, defeated already by the bad day I was having.

It started with the weather, grey clouds hovered over the sky, every single time I looked up I predicted it would rain any minute- and every time I predicted that it didn't turn out that way. Sadly...I loved rains. Secondly, I missed the bus to Uni. Furthermore I forgot to go to my 4th class, because I fell asleep in the back of the library...

I shouldered my way through a crowd of business man. Once I was out of that small crowd I looked behind me. A man in shinning, literal shining gold armor was standing a few feet away from me. I eyed him suspiciously. Either I was going crazy, or there was a AnimeCon I was not told was being held near by.... I wanted to bet on the latter, but as soon as I saw his right thumb flick his sword attached to his side open from its stealth, I gulped.

Oh lord...don't tell me it's them!

The man kept his gaze on me while he fully took out his sword, and started advancing towards me. I didn't even let myself think twice before running away. As I ran I focused on my breathing, taking deep breath to conserve energy, and stamina. Hearing no sounds of "watch out he has a sword with him" or "omg somebody catch him and call the police" behind me, only made me sure that he really came from where I thought he was from.

I cut down sharp a dark alley. Great... why does everything I do has to somehow link to some cliche movie scene. There were bricked walls on either side of the alley and at the end I could see it turns right. Glancing behind me I saw the soldier had already long catches up to me and he was now blocking my way back to the main road.

"Tsk." I clicked my tongue. My legs took me again running towards the right. When I made it and I was about to continue running down the other part of the alley, there were three other guards blocking my way. "For fucks sake..." I muttered annoyed.

"We are here on the King's orders to take you back to Azia." The one behind me spoke up.

I turned towards him. "What if I refuse his Majesty's orders?" I mocked.

I couldn't see his eyes, because his helmet was covering them. It was in a golden shape upside down hallow arrow, pointing right down the middle of his face, following the line of his nose bridge. It reminded me of a Roman helmet. It made him even more scary looking that I could not see his eyes.

"We will be forced to take you there by any means even using force."

They were not joking, his dead tone confronted that.

"Fine, but—" I held up a hand. They stopped advancing towards me. "I will go first home to get clothes I will need and say goodbye to my mother. I hope the King can understand...."

Two guards exchanged uncertain glances. The one in front of me, stared at me for a few seconds so I sod course took up the staring contest and stared at him even more with a strong serious expression I could master. The contest lasted two more minutes then I watched, anxious for his answer.

"I'm afraid his Majesty will not allow it. Your mother has been banned from the Kingdom for being leaving when she was most needed, betraying the King. In exchange if one Holy Knight betrays the monarchy his or her child or children will have to be prisoner into the dungeons or assassinated."

I was taught to run from the Knights ever since I was little, but I knew with my very limited acrobatic knowledge it would be still impossible to outrun them. What a stupid law they had betray a king and your child will hang. Fuck that King seriously!

"My mother did that to save me, dumbass!" I snarled at him, I felt rage build up inside me for him insulting my mother who risked her life to save mine!

"A Knight who swore loyalty to the King must always put him first."

"Well I am sorry but my mother had some humanity left inside her to put her loved daughter first and not that arrogant, fucking King who I bet sits on his throne all day!!!" I stormed up to the guard and punched him right across his face. He was not expecting a mere human raised, half breed to give him a taste of my fist.

It made the punch even more pleasurable to me. Before I could kick the guy in the groin, I felt two strong arms snake around my own and pull me back. I screamed at the top of my lungs for someone to come and aid for my help! No one heard me.

The soldier wiped his bloody mouth with the back of his hand and straightened. "No one can help you now," the collected aura, which was there before now left and it was replaced by something frightening and unfamiliar. He must have put up a force field around this alley....

I kicked and struggled against the two soldiers who were dragging me backwards.

"The King will deal with you later."

I spat on his black boots. "Damn the King to the deep depths of hell!" The Knight held out something under my nose and I made the mistake of  in baking in that moment from frustration, obviously I didn't have in mind to taste that new foreign drug he wanted me to inhale. The last thing I saw was his evil smirk as I was thrown into some dark void.
