The Tyrant Prince And His Fated Enemy #BL
Chapter 11
???
Stay still, your highness.
Prince Elliot
Who hired you to assassinate me?!
As Elliot was bare managing to dodge his opponent's attacks, he remembered the advice Duke Rowe had given him during training.
Duke Rowe
If you somehow come across an enemy where the opponent far outmatches you, just run
Duke Rowe
There is no shame in wanting to live.
Duke Rowe
Running away is not cowardice. It is a form of self defense in the case of an ambush
Duke Rowe
Though, the same thing cannot be said in a duel.
Prince Elliot
The what if your opponent is still faster than you?
Duke Rowe
Then do something.
Duke Rowe
Climb up a tree, jump in a river, anything
Duke Rowe
You have to have a bravery and a strong will if you want to survive.
Elliot's Thoughts
this guy is getting faster and faster!
Elliot's Thoughts
I have no choice...
Elliot's Thoughts
Into the forest i go!
Elliot ran. He ran as fast as his frail legs could take him
He didnt know where he was going
But the only thing in his mind was one thing and one thing only.
Elliot's Thoughts
Huff.. huff.
Elliot's Thoughts
My body..
Elliot's Thoughts
Can't take this much longer...
Elliot's Thoughts
I have to figure out a way somehow!!
Elliot's Thoughts
This is my fault..
Elliot's Thoughts
I should've listened to Atalia..
Elliot's Thoughts
I shouldve atleast taken a guard...
Elliot's Thoughts
Is this it??
Elliot's Thoughts
Will I die here??
As he ran and ran, the thought of this being the end made him unknowingly shed a tear. He abandoned his comfortable life back on earth for this. He didnt want it to end without achieving his goals. He suddenly thought of all the things he wanted to do in this life. Saving Lloyd, saving the world... Maybe even becoming emperor? Is this what they call the"as their life flashes before their eyes" moment? Is this it? Will he die here and be transported back? Or will he die for real? Or will he-
Prince Elliot
*looks to the side
The duke had suddenly appeared. He was riding on a stallion befitting his title of Knight. It had seemed like a bright light shone behind him. Signaling to Elliot that this was not the end. Not just yet.He was saved. By the man who was his fated enemy. Not even knowing where the duke's hands were, he closed his eyes and reached his hands out. Hoping the duke would take it and save him from this nightmare.
Prince Elliot
Huff... Huf..
Duke Rowe
Hold on to me tightly!
???
Where do you think you're going?
Rowe's Thoughts
I could fight him right now... But... I have to protect his highness aswell
Rowe's Thoughts
I have to resort to some dirty tricks.
Duke Rowe
Hold on tighter your highness, we're gonna go for a ride!!
Elliot held on tight. Clenching his fist on the duke's robe as if he was holding on for dear life. He closed his eyes and hoped everything would be over
As the horse they were riding came to a sudden stop, he came to the realization that they were standing on the edge of a cliff. The drop was far into the rocky and harsh tides of the river.
Suddenly the duke got off the horse and took a stance and baited the pursuer into getting close.
???
Whatcha gonna do now, little prince and his kinght?
Just as the attacker went in for the jab, the duke dodged and made the hooded man slip. The duke turned around and pushed him off the cliff.
A rather anticlimactic ending to such an intense chase. But the duke had no other choices. He had to protect the prince at all cost.
He didnt even know what compelled him to save his highness in first place. At first he was just passing by after returning from a monster subjugation. But then he saw the prince running for his life and a black hooded man chase him. At first it was his curiosity that got the better of him but when he saw the prince sob, he snapped. The duke had decided to save him. For some strange reason, seeing the prince with that expression and a tear rolling down his cheeks did not sit right with him.
Duke Rowe
Sorry that I couldnt fight you fair and square. Right now I've got priorities.
As the screams of the assassin faded into the background, the duke got back on his horse and started heading towards the main road.
Duke Rowe
Its over, your highness..
Prince Elliot
I can see, after all.
Prince Elliot
mumbles* thank you
Duke Rowe
What was that, your highness?
Duke Rowe
I couldnt hear you very well. Try speaking up
Elliot's Thoughts
HABSJSJSJSJ!! THIS MAN!! TEASING ME ALL THE TIME!!
Prince Elliot
THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME!!
Prince Elliot
*glares with a flushed face
Duke Rowe
Youre welcome, your highness.
Duke Rowe
Shall we go back to the main palace now? We have to report this incident in, after all.
Prince Elliot
I forgot to bring my badge...
Duke Rowe
How did you manage to forget your badge?
Duke Rowe
Everyone with a badge knows its the most important item that should be kept with you at all times!
Duke Rowe
I'll lend you mine, your highness.
Prince Elliot
Are you sure?
Prince Elliot
Its important to you, right?
Duke Rowe
This trip must be important to you too. Seeing as youve gone alone on a horse with not a single guard nor attendant
Duke Rowe
Well, I'm sure with the way youre headed to the palace now, you must be in quite a hurry.
Duke Rowe
Why the urgency, your highness?
Prince Elliot
I have to speak to my father
Prince Elliot
As soon as possible.
Prince Elliot
Im sorry, i dont have time to explain...
Duke Rowe
Its quite alright your highness
Duke Rowe
What you said is sufficient enough.
Duke Rowe
Hold on tight now, we're heading to the palace!
