He was not sure since when he was attracted by the princess. Because as far as he remembered, he had this strong feeling for her even when he saw her for the first time.

Jasmine might not remember what happened back then, but that moment would be forever etched in his memories.

Ethan remembered when he found the princess was sitting under a maple tree, reading her book for her younger brother, who was only two at that time. She had so much love in her eyes when she stared at the little prince and because of that the way her eyes were shining made her beautiful.

It sounded silly, but that was what Ethan felt at that time.

He looked up and stared at the murky dark sky, as the snow fell and melted on the ground. He hoped his warriors managed to reach the town and ask for help from the warriors there, so he could bring back the princess to the safety. He couldn’t bear the thought that she might be in a great danger.

He would rather lose his life than to put her in a great danger.

And for the rest of the night, he stayed awake, staring at her peaceful sleeping face and that was enough for a lowly warrior like Ethan. It was more than enough than he deserved.

But when the first ray of the sunlight pierced through the gloomy night and fell on her face, Jasmine stirred awake, she groaned and rubbed her eyes sleepily.

The pale sunlight gave some warm for them, but the snow from last night had covered the whole ground.

“Hm? It’s morning?” Jasmine rubbed her eyes and stretched her body, but when she saw Ethan, she remembered something important. “You didn’t wake me up!” She said with annoyance.

“You sleep very deeply, I didn’t dare to wake you up,” Ethan replied, he had thought about this answer and knew that Jasmine wouldn’t be happy with that.

“Still, you should wake me up, Ethan!” Jasmine was upset. She looked around her and was sure they were safe. “Sleep, I will stay. At least, you can get a few hours to sleep.”

Ethan shook his head. “I don’t need to sleep, princess. I will be fine, more importantly, we need to move now.” Ethan then crawled out of the **k from the tree and stretched his body.

“But, you didn’t sleep the whole night, you need to rest too,” Jasmine protested, she followed him out and looked at her surroundings.

“I will be fine, princess,” he repeated the same thing. “We need to move now.”

Jasmine was not happy with this. “If you wanted to protect me, you should take care of yourself first. How could you protect me if you are not in one hundred percent fit?”

Ethan chuckled, he then apologized for that to appease her, but that was not what Jasmine wanted. “We need to go to the town, maybe we can meet with the other warriors half way,” Ethan suggested and Jasmine agreed with him.

It would save them so much time too.

With the renewed energy that she got after she slept the whole night, Jasmine shifted into her beast and followed Ethan’s beast toward the direction to the town.

It still amazed Jasmine about how easy he could navigate the direction, because as someone, who didn’t even know where was north and south, she was clueless.

It took them around eight hours to reach the town, more so, they had to take a long route, because there was avalanche last night, not to mention they needed to stop and take a rest. Thankfully, the warriors that chased after them were nowhere in their sight.

Probably, they didn’t really come for them, since their main target was Kellan. There was no use to get an extra trouble, which was good for Jasmine and Ethan.

However, Jasmine was worried about Kellan. Would he be alright? Would he manage to reach Great Darren city?

Was he being captured? That was why, the warriors that came after them had backed down and left them alone because they managed to get what they wanted?

There was a lot of things that swarmed in Jasmine’s mind, but she didn’t want to make Ethan worried even more about her, thus she didn’t voice out what she was thinking.

[We are almost there,] Ethan said through mindlink to encourage Jasmine, who looked like she was about to collapse again. She really needed to exercise. Jasmine made a m**l note to start training the moment she returned to the palace.

[Wait.] Ethan halted. His beast sniffed the air and out of instinct, Jasmine followed his gesture, but she couldn’t catch anything that was not right. She was not trained for that.

[Wat happened? Something is wrong?] Jasmine looked nervous. They were close to the town, what could happen? [Yes, something is not right,] Ethan replied. Through the mindlink, Jasmine could feel his anxiety.

[What’s going on?]

Ethan then told her to stay there, as he went to check the town, but Jasmine didn’t want to be left alone and then followed him.

But, what they saw was very devastating.

[No way…] Jasmine was shocked, she was dumbfounded to see the town had been ransacked. The closer you got, the thicker the smell of blood in the air.

From the look of it, there was no mistaken in it, this town had been attacked. Many people died, the town people had been killed brutally.

[impossible… who had done this…?]

“What do you mean there is problem in the north kingdom?” Alex asked one of his warriors, who delivered the news.

“Apparently, there is a shift of power in Aurones kingdom. Their king just died and only last night we received a report that the town near the border had been attacked.”

“Had been attacked?!” Alex stood up from his seat. “That town is close to lake house!” The king rushed out of the room. Jasmine!
