Chapter 13: How can I love a stranger
Enidut Pathwarrior stands against 8 Bandits as 3 of them are on top of trees with their arrow aimed at her.
Yet Loren knew that already, so he moved to wispear in Angelina's ears.
That girl quickly understood and began eisxting out of the carriage to take care of those guys.
Not long everyone can hear the sound of those guys screaming in a angoy way.
Loren guards and the Bandits can feel chillies all over their bodies from hearing those screams.
After that 3 dead bandits were thrown in between Enidut Pathwarrior and the rest of the Bandits.
Angelina was on top of the carriage laughing with blood on her.
"Men that girl scares me sometimes hope to never have to fight her." Enidut Pathwarrior thought.
"Angelina sure knows how to make people fear her don't you think Loren." Cecelia asks."
"All of you are fearsome beings that I had you become and I am proud to say that each one is someone I hold dear to me."
"Loren." Cecelia's love for him grows even stronger from hearing say that.
At that moment Angelina happily came back inside the carriage happily clinging onto Loren as he patted her head.
Cecelia started to get jealous as she too wanted to get Loren's attention as well and he could tell, so he gave her the same treatment then got back to watching the fight that was about to happen.
"So you guys are just going to stand there and piss yourself, I don't have all day to wait."
Enidut Pathwarrior rude words piss off the bandits as that made 4 of them charge at her
"Don't you fucking look down on us Dark elf!." one of the bandits said while swinging his sword at her.
Enidut Pathwarrior smiles as she uses her shield to block that easy attack coming at her.
Then she was next to make her move when swinging the longsword side way at the bandit's stomach slashing it open as that guy fell face forward into the ground.
Enidut Pathwarrior didn't stop there as she went after the next one bandit slashing open his throat allowing the blood to gush out everywhere.
Next one didn't get a chance to attack or defend himself once he became the next target as she cut off an arm then impaled the man in the chest with the longsword.
"She's a goddamn monster!." The last bandit yelled as the man saw the way and easily his comrades were taken down.
He made the decision to just flee as the man doesn't want to say like them, but she wasn't going to allow any bandit to run away and keep their lives.
Enidut Pathwarrior hits the bandit with her shield hard so that there may be a chance you can hear the sounds of bones breaking.
She ends his life stabbing her longsword into his chance once he lands on his back to the ground.
"I hope Loren is watching." she looked to see that he was and showed an impressive expression on his face.
"Yes I am so getting that date." Enidut Pathwarrior happy thought.
When done was that girl she turned to the rest of the group standing in a state of shock as that was just fine with her as she charged at them.
"My lord should we not add the girl against these bandits." one of Loren's guards asks.
"There is no need to help Enidut Pathwarrior, she has been trained to be the best to fight and beside you guys will just be in her way making the girl have to hold back do you understand."
"Yes sir." the guard answered Loren as he and the rest kept on watching her fight the bandits.
The fight before them was like watching a monster slaughter innocent people as that made the guards pity the Bandits.
Soon Enidut Pathwarrior stood standing among the dead bandits covered in their blood with a happy expression on her face.
There was silence as no dare to say a word after seeing what they just saw, but that silence was broken by the sounds of hands clapping.
"Well done, you certainly have earned that reward." Loren tells her.
"Yay!!." Enidut Pathwarrior was happy and quickly ran up to the said of the Carriage to kiss Loren in the mouth.
Loren did not mind the blood on her as the two kissed for only a moment.
When down kissing Enidut Warrior returns back to her horse and Loren asks Cecelia to cast a spell to remove the tree blocking their way while he orders the guards to clear the dead bodies of the dead bandit.
All that is done they resume back on their journey.
-------------------------------
After a long journey the group have finally reached Raista Kingdom.
"Even if this kingdom is weak, I have to say it looks lovely when I come to see it."
"When I am done with this place Cecelia it no longer be seen as a weak Kingdom."
"As expected from Prince Loren, I am sure the people from this kingdom will be grateful to have you."
While they were talking the carriage was passing through the streets of Raista where the people standing by the side were amazed and welcoming to Loren.
Loren thought to return the favor by waving back to the people, he must wear the mask well to fool the people around him.
It is not the right time to show who he truly is to them yet.
While that was happening inside the castle of Raista is where Hannah, daughter of the king and queen, listened to the people cheering and welcoming the king's third son Loren.
"Your future husband has arrived, lady Hannah, are you happy." the maid asks while brushing her hair.
"Happy you ask me, how can one be happy to set up to marry a stranger to someone they have never met in life."
She answered the maid as the girl was looking dispress as it was being shown by the mirror in front of her.
"My lady, it is not all bad, surely there can be good from this marriage to come."
"What good, I being forced no choice in this matter by my own father to marry a bastard son of King Vernon who I doubt has any power in that family, I mean, I should be engaged to one the twin brothers they at least have power that I can use to help the kingdom."
"There is nothing that can be done my lady, it has already been agreed between the fathers of both sides. Who to say there any way for a young smart lady like yourself to help the third son rise to power and gain better benefits to the kingdom."
The maid told Hannah of this idea, but the girl still has the same expression on her face.
"How can I love a stranger where there is someone else I love in my heart."
"My lady, I am sorry to say this, but as a close friend to you, you must move on and try your best to forget about him."
Hannah then became sad, but she knew what the maid spoke was hard to hear yet needed to be said.
"Now let use get you ready and pretty to meet your future husband."
The maid helps Hannah get dressed and look beautiful for Loren as the two along with others make their way to the throne.
"Ah there she is my beautiful daughter." the king said as everyone turned their heads to look at her.
Even Loren looks to see her slanted eyes the color of ripe tangerines. Her luxurious, curly, scarlet hair is short and is worn in a practical, precise style.
She is tall and has a graceful build along with china-white.
Hannah gets a good look and feels a little relieved.
"Well at least is he not ungly." she thought as the girl walked to him.
Loren took her hand.
"I am happy to finally meet you Hannah Nola Reeves." After that Loren kisses her hand.
Cecelia, Endiut Pathwarrior and Angelina were a little unhappy to see some of the girls be treated in such a way, but not show it on their faces.
Hannah notices them seeing a human girl, a dark elf girl and last a demon girl all they look beautiful this made the girl immediately have the impression that Loren is a playboy as she quickly retrieves her hand back from him.
Loren notices that, but does not yet understand why she did that as he prey too much into it.
"Now that everyone has begun the welcome celebration." the king annoweds
"Before that my king there are some gifts that I like to give out." Loren snaps his finger where guards began walking in the throne room.
There were three chests being carried by two at each side as it was placed before the king and queen.
They then open the chest to show them that it is filled with gold and jewelry.
The king and queen were amazed at how much that was inside.
'This is... prince Loren there is no need to give us gifts like this." the king said still at the chests.
"But I wish to do this as I will one day be a part of this family and there is still more to give."
"More!?." the king was shocked to hear the guards bright fine crafted armor and weapons.
"These are gifts for your men to wear as they have been crafted by our kingdom's best blacksmith."
Lore guards show the king as he becomes amazed how well their blacksmith work.
So the king ordered his own guard to receive them and pass them on to the rest of the men.
"Of course, I did not forget my future wife and brother in-law." Loren said while a rare looking sword was brought to Hannah half brother who was there in the throne room.
He was amazed by the sword and how rare it looked to him.
"I am grateful for this gift brother Loren." he said, bowing his head to Loren in repacte.
"I am happy you like it and now for Hannah.'' One of Loren's guards carried a pillow with a necklace on top of it to bring it to her.
"I hope this will be to your liking Hannah." Loren asks while seeing her look at the necklace before her.
"I am as well grateful to have received such a lovely gift from you, my future husband."
Not needed to say a word one of her maids take the pillow holding the necklace then stand back beside Hannah.
Loren looks at her and can tell she does not seem to be too impressed with the necklace and wonders if her feelings about this engage her.
"Thank you! My son for the loving gifts." the king gives a loving hug to Loren.
Loren sees that it is working, playing his part well to gain these people love and trust all, but one his future wife to be.
"Now then let us begin the celebration."
