The Survivor with The Tudor Rose In Her Hand (Asch X OC)

Chapter 5 : A truth must be reveal

Pierce's POV

Night falls , the Dargon said that she'll attack either Prince Asch or the human. But , in my opinion, she'll probably attack the human first since her chamber's so close to the human's. Without telling the others,I decide to stop the Dargon. By myself. Waiting for the right time , I decide to close my eyes ,taking a small break.

Yue's POV

It's time,I grabbed my sword ,walked out of the chamber. Just as quickly, I spotted the general leaning against the wall of a corner,taking his time to rest and wait for me.Wait....if he's here...that means....I can literally go and finish off the prince!Without any sound,I ran through the wall and ran towards the door fully with familiar presence.I took a breathe , slowly pushed the door.Looking at the prince who's sleeping deeply , it's probably my only chance!

I hold the sword tightly,aiming his throat, preparing to end this nonsense charade. A sudden , something grabbed my scarf and pulled me out of the room and pinned me against the pillar."Having your good time to rest ,general?""Pierce. That's my name."He put his sword on my neck, threatening for stopping me to attack his royal highness."Since when....a Daemos act so kind? Hm?" Through the corner of my eye,his eyes widen. His weakness....his kindness that shouldn't be revealed.... I attempted to run away from his sword and ran into a library looking area.

"Where did she go...."Chill Yue....Don't let him find you....I closed my mouth with my hand , not letting him to feel my presence. "Pierce?What are you doing here?""I thought I'm the one who ask that?"Me ,hiding beneath a pile of books, can see another Daemos standing in front of.....What's his name again?...Right ,Pierce."Have you seen that Dargon?""Nope.Why, is she here around?""She tries to kill Prince Asch. Luckily , I pulled her away. But ,she ran away after this. What are you doing here?""Doing stuff. Trying to find any ways to solve the magic crisis in Daemos."Magic crisis huh?.... Go and mind your stupid business then!

Did they left? Hopefully...My head crane out for a view. A safe view. After checking the coast is clear,I decided to walk around this library considered area. There's nothing except books...and a weird painting.... The frame was decorated with dark golden veins looking and golden leaves sticking out of the veins.The picture on the frame was just a random picture. Despite of me should run away from the Daemos, this painting attracts me a lot.

I pressed one of the veins that my hand can reached. You wouldn't never guess what I just saw. A secret room! I looked around and ran into the room. At the tenth step in the room , the entrance closed and torches automatically light up my way.I was impressed.....I hold the black pendant tightly while taking each step carefully. On my cautious steps , not to be shock , my right foot suddenly sunk. I immediately hopped back. "Traps huh?...."With what I basically learn in Daemos,they won't make any on the wall...so...

I pulled my scarf closely to my mouth. Setting my position....And run! I hopped onto the wall and ran to the other side of the traps. I cleaned my dust on my jacket and shirt and found....my Tudor rose bracelet! Where is it?!I turned back and found it's in the middle of the traps!I bite my lips hardly....closed my eyes and decided to get it back....

"Urgh! Darn it..."I got injured from one of the magic arrows and blood start dripping down onto the ground. Holding my breath , I pulled the arrow and drop it onto the ground and continue my adventure.

I was lead to a hallway with painting on the wall....All of them.... was a female Daemos.....All of this...One only caught my attention.... This one was a shadow behind a tree , I can't see its appearance since the painting was in night time....Long hair...horns.... Wait....There's a not obvious house at the behind of the Daemos....Wooden made....A garden of red flowers..... It can't be...

How in the Dargon hell they got this?!

Rhys' POV

Pressing the bottom button of the painting , the scene behind the painting literally freaked me out for a moment.Someone's Here!The arrows are all shot onto the ground....But... who?Probably not Daemos , these traps aren't barely seen in Daemos... not to mention the human sorceress. But who.....After walking through the arrows carefully , I found an arrow that's stained with some blood on it. Following the trail of blood , it lead me to a unexpected result....

"You?!""Oh my gracious goodness! Please don't freak me out like that!" She seems....terrified...."What-""Okay. Okay. I would leave right now but... please don't tell Pierce I'm here."She said and walked away.I looked at the painting that she's looking. From what Lady Grandma told me before , this is a special one....this is the one and only painting that Asch cares about. He requested since he's a kid. To me ,it's nothing except a shadow and a small house behind...

Why?....Why this was able to stop her?....Why does this painting was able to reflect her fear?....Why is she a Dargon herself was able to pass through these traps?..... What's the truth behind this painting?.... There's must be an answer behind this.....And I must find it out.....
