When Chizuru came to her senses, Exia had grabbed her by her collar before she knew it. As her neck was forced back, a cough escaped her throat.

As Exia brought her lips to Chizurus ear and whispered, her warm breath hit Chizurus ears.

That man is up in that big oak tree to your right. You know what will happen if you try anything stupid, dont you?

Indeed, there was a large, dense tree on the right.

Lukrov didnt move an inch and kept his eyes trained on Chizuru quietly.

There was an army behind him, it might not be a large army, but it was large enough. Compared to Exias ruffian army, they probably were in a far more advantageous position but whether they were skilled enough to defeat the other army in a blink of an eye was a mystery.

In other words, if it turned into a battle, they would win. But it would take some time.

Tears began to gather in Chizurus eyes.

Its true, Lukrov.

Somehow, she managed a slight smile and was able to speak in a low voice.

I Im tired of youIve had enough.Hes far younger and more refreshing. I beg you, just leave us alone and go marry Lady Exia .

Chizuru would never forget the expression on Lukrovs face at that moment.

He looked pained and heartbroken.

But at the same time, there was a gentle smile adorning his beautiful face as if to show some form of understanding. Not anger or sadness. It was just an overwhelming affection and compassion towards Chizuru.

Chizuru felt like their two souls had merged into one.

Of all the possible situations, it was at such a time. Chizuru had to hurt him with such a lie, where fate would tear them apart, and they would never be happy again.

Its true this time.

Chizuru added.

Lukrov nodded and quickly reached for the sword behind him.

The sound of horse hooves pulsed through the forest and seemingly shook the earth,and men with swords rushed forward, shouting battle cries. The sky seemed as if it was going farther, and the earth was vibrating as if it was ripping apart.

To Chizurus eyes, everything seemed to be happening in slow motion.

With her hands tied, it was difficult for her to run as she was attempting to navigate her way through the battle chaos.

On her right, a horse had fallen on its side, and the impact almost blew her away. Despite this, Chizuru desperately regained her footing and continued to run.

Lukrov.

Even amid all the chaos, it was easy to find him.

She could feel him.

And she thought she could sense that he was in danger.

Lukrov wielded a reddish-black, long sword, now soaked in blood, and was slaughtering his enemies on horseback.

The mens eyes were glowing oddly, and they were screaming eerily like ghosts crawling up from the depths of hell.

Lukrov!

Chizuru shouted, and Lukrov turned his head toward her.

And then he did what no knight should ever do in his life.

He let go of his sword. In the midst of the fierce battle, the sound of his sword falling to the ground was absorbed and lost among the chaos.

He stretched out his arms, and as if gathering up the scattered sand, he lifted Chizuru up on his horse and pulled her tightly into his arms.

Chizuru

Lukrovs muffled voice tickled Chizurus ears.

If her hands were free, she would have hugged him back. But all she could do was look up at him and snuggle up to him.

She wished that time would stop here, just like this.

When Chizuru looked up, she could see a hint of tears forming in the corners of his tightly closed eyes.

Ah, Lukrov, its Lukrov.

Chizuru also wanted to close her eyes and engrave this moment deep in her heart.

But then, from the corner of her eye, she saw a blinding flash of light and saw an arrow shoot in a straight line toward them coming from the large oak tree on her right.

The very same direction that Exia had warned her about.

At this moment, there was only one thing that Chizuru could do.
