Chapter 2 Critical

Anna wrapped her arms around Louis' neck, her eyes also alertly looking around. If this man was good at sword arts, then Anna was also the best archer in her class at that time.

With sharp eyes, archery was her specialty. Anna was a sharp archer who could even shoot ten meters away.

In the darkness, Anna could still see clearly.

They were paying attention to the surrounding atmosphere, when the male

Zheng Yuan was nowhere to be seen. Louis' feet moved quickly through the forest. His burly arms carried Anna's body as lightly as a plastic bag.

It was just that he was afraid that if he held her tightly, Anna's bones would break. The road out of the forest was still about two kilometers away. But the border area was definitely not a friendly place to spend the night. Wolves and other wild animals lurk here. Not to mention that border guards often patrolled.

Louis wasn't sure which side they were on. What was clear was that he couldn't relax his vigilance until he reached his destination.

"Louis."

"Right?"

"I heard something. Ten meters seven hours ago. According to the tracks, there were three or four people. Anna calmly told him.Louis immediately hid behind a large tree and hid in the shade of the trees. The woman's heartbeat was so strong that Louis held his breath. The woman's cold voice was in stark contrast to her trembling body.

He didn't like her from the start. For Louis, the only good thing

He only had her face. Since ancestral times, Lou's family had sworn allegiance to the Royal Family. only, despised

no matter what happened to that boring woman, Louis would always be at the ready. He hoped things would stay like this forever.

"There they are." Anna whispered as the footsteps got closer.

Louis nodded silently, on his left he also had a platinum sword just in case. If it's only three or four people, I'm sure

I can only finish it

in just one time.

However the tall man hoped he wouldn't have to do that as he still had to save up for the long journey they were about to take.

Cross.

Besides being a respectable nobleman, he also felt uneasy when he realized he had no money.

a penny in your pocket. He hated himself so much for leaving without proper preparation. But that didn't mean it was a

disaster. It wasn't Louis if he couldn't cope with his circumstances.

The man sighed heavily as he would probably sell some of his used items or look for firewood to exchange for silver coins.

"Cheng Nguyen." His voice trembled as he said the name. Whether he realized it or not, the woman hugged him tighter.

almost suffocating Clemente. As her eyes stared at the group of men with wild eyes. Zheng Yuan was also included

one of the people Louis never liked. There was always something sinister behind the warm smile of Anna's husband. While studying at the academy, Louis always felt that way.

Zheng Yuan really disliked his girlfriend.

However, come to think of it, Zheng Yuan had never been honest about anything. But of course, his angelic appearance could fool anyone. Her face was like a divine statue, her skin shiny like porcelain

with a charming smile. Everyone must think she's the prince of my dreams.

Wonderland.

Ironically, he was the perfect embodiment of Anna's nightmare. "Search this woman until you find her. Don't let her escape!" Zheng Yuan ordered his soldiers.

"Yes Your Majesty." shouted the soldiers who were still wearing the imperial uniforms they had overthrown.

"Louis." The girl whispered as Zheng Yuan left with soldiers chasing after him.

"Right."

"I don't want to die today."

A faint smile appeared on Louis' lips. Louis said: "I just realized today that this is the first time we had the same thought.

"And you look trustworthy today, Louis." Anna smiled back.

Louis also laughed: "I'm a very cool guy. You don't see it." he said softly before continuing

on his way.

Anna sighed: "Why is an attractive girl like you still unmarried? Don't tell me

it's because there's no suitable woman for you."

Louis smiled happily: "It seems like you know me well." The ironic tone in Louis' words made

Anna smile weakly. Even at a time like this, he was being his usual self. In fact, she thought it might be Louis' way of comforting her. "THANK YOU,

Luis.""That's my job. But can you stop calling me by that name?" asked Louis, who was annoyed to see Princess Anna

constantly calling him by his name. Before Anna could answer, Louis stopped.

It was then that the two of them

realized that they were surrounded by Zheng Yuan's men hiding in the surrounding bushes. Louis frowned as Anna gritted her teeth as she saw Zheng Yuan's sly face, "Hmm, a princess and a loyal dog following her." How touching this situation is."

"Cheng Yuan, why are you doing this? Anna asked loudly.

"Wondering why not?" The man looked down. "It's because we've had enough of you." Someone shouted at Zheng Yuan's words earlier, it turned out to be Calista standing behind Zheng Yuan.

Calista appeared with a triumphant smile. Her arms wrapped around Zheng Yuan's body, "Ai... you're so unlucky, cousin, you look messy too."

Just then Louis was about to touch the sheath.

sword, Zheng Yuan suddenly attacked him at an abnormal speed. This caused Louis to accidentally let go of Anna's hand. The two were thrown before Anna fell to the ground. The back of Zheng Yuan's hand seemed to shine quite brightly, causing Louis to frown: "That's not a rock..."

"I don't expect you to have enough knowledge. Friend

I must understand that we are no longer equals. But since I'm a benevolent lord, do I have to grant your request?"

Louis snorted, then glanced at Anna, who was

still in shock at learning that her family's inheritance fell into the hands of this traitor.

However, Louis knew he wouldn't be able to win against Zheng Yuan, who inherited the wealth. So he did something that could at least partially assuage his ancestor's anger for not protecting Anna.

And the young man, of course, wanted to die in peace!

"Oi!" Louis spat out a mouthful of blood and gently landed on Zheng Yuan's face.

The man got angry and punched him in the stomach.

Louis immediately fell down and didn't move at all. He died...

"Don't...Louisss!" cried Anna, mourning the death of her only friend.

mourning the death of her only friend.

Calista rushed over to her before thrusting the dagger into her cousin's neck, she whispered. "For so long, I've always hated you, cousin."

Anna felt her body warm. She could vaguely hear Calista's laughter and Zheng Yuan's satisfied smile. Both of Anns hands clung to the floor with her remaining strength.

Swearing, Anna cried inwardly, unbearably angry. "For the blood that is shed every day, for the lives of those who died defending this kingdom. I will repay them in my own way, until I can chew the bones and tear them apart, I will not die.

separate them, I will not die in peace," she muttered, already filled with emotion. Before losing consciousness completely, Anna challenged the gods who seemed to be watching her death.

"If you really exist, then grant my request, damn it! I don't want to die in vain."
