Bewitched (Snow White with the Red Hair Fanfic)

28.Will

"Inform all guards at once. Some people have illegally passed through Arinos' borders."

A general claimed. "Who do you suppose it would be, my King?" A certain man sat with a menacing aura on the throne.

"I believe it's about time she comes here now...

.....isn't it, Kisa?"

Kisa stood a few feet away, legs trembling from tiredness of having to be chained to the wall for hours. She was almost completely out of strength.

She hadn't trained to be like this. It was unexpected that Arinos would fall. Yet, as true as it could be, a young kingdom is always on the brink of destruction.

Kisa looked up a bit. Her once majestic hair was now a mess and her body was scarred from being chained for way too long. Yet, the princess had the courage to smirk at the man.

Slap!

She did not wail and she definitely did not scream out of pain. She just winced a bit from the impact and clicked her tongue. Which made the man even more furious.

"You insolent fool! The only reason I'm keeping you alive is to persuade a portion of the people left to recognise me as the new king."

"I would rather die than marry you!" Kisa hissed. Her eyes were burning a rage of fury to which the man did not care.
He had a nefarious grin on his face.

"Oh don't worry. You're not my only option."

Kisa glared at him again. This time out of fear. Fear for the worst of all. "Your sister is here. What more can lure her than her sister's life at stake?"

The man chuckled and Kisa looked at him in disgust. "I won't allow it!"

"You have no power now, princess. When the time comes, you will be quickly disposed of."

"Doesn't this whole scheme seem more like a trap to you guys?" Zen questioned. "Seems very much like one to me."

"Well, doesn't change that we still need to go." Angov said. "It does." Zen retorted. "My father can definitely take care of such trivial matter."

"Arinos is not a trivial matter. Nor is my sister."

"Maybe not your sister but this case could surely have been in good hands if the right people knew."

"They never do much."

"They do!"

"Don't!"

"Do!"

"Don-"

"ENOUGH ALREADY!" I yelled. "Fighting isn't going to help our outcome." Two days already and they were on bad terms. What more could we need than a little bit of teamwork???

"Anyway, Zen!" He instantly looked at me surprised by my tone. I twitched my hands a bit before I spoke. "Could you, um, possibly teach me how to use a....a...."

"A....what?" One of his brows lifted in curiosity. "Well, it'd be really great...uh...if you....um...teach me how to use a.... , sword."

"Hey! Why not ask me!? I'm your brother, you know?!" Angov said dramatically. "That's probably 'cause you flirt with girls every time you see one!" Zen teased which angered Angov.
