The King's Lover {COMPLETED✔}

ATTACK ON THE WISH MAKER

Chapter:8

                            

Gouria woke up to find one of the maids in front of him. He gave a quick glance towards Anderios's way to see if he had woken up, but was glad when he saw his soulmate still sound asleep like a baby.

A smile invaded his face as he turned towards the maid who still stood in the room.

He stared into her eyes questioningly, wondering since when did maids started waking him up very early in the morning.

"What is so important that you could not wait until I was awake?" He whispered softly and the woman shook her head in a not so understandable manner.

She had heard him but pretended as if she hadn't.

"What?" She whispered back to him, knowing Gouria would not speak so loud as he didn’t want to wake Sir Anderios up.

Gouria groaned angrily as he got out of bed and roughly dragged the lady out of his room.

Once they were both out and farther away from Anderios, he burned his angry eyes into the woman's and yelled.

"What?!"

"I am so sorry Sir Gouria but Mia had gone into the woods behind the back to gather woods and now she's hurt!" The young woman cried.

Knowing Gouria's weakness to help those in need. The man bought her fake story just immediately without asking any further questions except.

"Where is she now?"

"Still out back!" She pointed and took to her heels.

**************

"You should have gotten help and carried her in!" Gouria rushed out as he ran behind the woman.

Once they reached the woods and walked a little farther inside it, a small whimper could be heard coming from behind a tree.

Gouria took to his heels after hearing the painful cry. He found Mia on the floor with a bleeding leg.

He crouched down on his knees and stared into the terrified girl's face.

"You will be alright, hang on to my shoulders!" Gouria instructed but Mia refused. "Do you trust me?" He asked her and she did nothing but cry silently.

"How did this happen?!" Gouria asked turning to find emptiness where Sara the maid that had brought him should have been standing. Not bothered about her because of the bleeding woman before him he directed the question to her instead. "How did this happen?!" He whispered as he pressed both his hands on the bleeding leg.

"I-It...a tra-" The woman gasped and Gouria raised his head to find an arrow pierced into the woman's chest as she gasped and choked. "Run!" She breathed out before she fell silent.

Gouria acted fast but not so fast.

Men already gathered around him, all pointing arrows at him, waiting to fire the angry thing.
