Chapter 18 - My Sweet
Next morning, I walked around the tea house in my new clothes. Where is he...
I ran outside, my hands finding the wooden railing. My face broke out in a smile as I saw Li training outside.
I jumped over the railing, my feet hitting the firm dirt floor. I brushed myself off and slowly advanced towards him.
It took him a moment to realise my presence. When he did, he was quick to wipe the sweat from his brow.
Aluna Yan
I thought you'd be out here...
I handed him a towel, which he took politely and wiped his face.
Aluna Yan
Did you even get a bit of sleep last night? You were supposed to teach me how to ride, remember?
Li Wei
Let's go eat and then, I'll be off.
Li Wei
To the City of Hills, naturally.
That's where Huan Dongli is...
Aluna Yan
You're leaving without me?
Aluna Yan
Then, train me...
Aluna Yan
You promised to make me stronger...
Li Wei
Don't you understand? I'm your strength. As long as I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you.
Lu Aotian
While you aren't here, someone might attack her, pounce on her, or worse, claim her as their own.
I jumped when I heard Lu Aotian's voice and Li snarled.
Li Wei
Safer here than over there.
Lu Aotian
I wouldn't be so sure. This place is ridden with assassins. Remember, you are in an assassins guild.
Lu Aotian
One of my men might be in a bad mood one day and swing their blade a little too close to Aluna's head-
Li marched towards him and picked Lu Aotian by the cuff of the shirt, snarling.
Lu Aotian
Don't worry, Princess. He won't touch me...
Lu Aotian
He's just angry that my words are true.
Li Wei
Why are you doing this?
Lu Aotian
Amusement... fun... all the usual forms of entertainment.
Li Wei
I'm going to kill you one day.
Lu Aotian
Good luck with that.
I ran and threw myself onto his back, my soft busxm pressing against his back.
My arms wrapped around his back, making him blush and stop.
Aluna Yan
Stop... it's okay...
Lu Aotian
Listen to your lady, Wei.
Aluna Yan
Don't leave me...
Those words struck a chord inside of him as he let go of Aotian and turned around to face me.
He circled his hands around my waist and made my head fall against his chest.
Li Wei
I won't leave you alone... don't worry.
I gave out a sigh of relief while his arms circled around me.
Lu Aotian
Then, it's settled. Welcome to the team, Aluna...
Li bit his lip as he held me. He was nervous and frightened, but not for himself. For the woman in his arms.
He wanted me chained to his side, never to have any harm come to me.
