Villainess Becomes The Knight

William pov contd..

How much time had passed when I finally came to my senses. I looked around and we were already there.

"We are here" I said , stopping Hundred, and jumped down with her in my arms.

"Where are you taking me?" she asked, shocked i was able to jump over the horse with her in his arms.

I looked at her and smiled, "Wait, you'll see."

She still used her full force to not let me drag her anymore and I sighed, how stubborn she was! "You'll be safe with me, I promise." I said looking seriously at her eyes, for a minute I let my sultry man mask go and looked at her earnestly.

She nodded her head in agreeing to go where I wanted. With the moonlight as our guide, we walked under the night sky down a muddy pathway. It was like we were the only two in the entire world.

When we arrived at the place, it was an empty grassland with weeds reaching up to her knees. 

She looked around but couldn't see what I wanted to show her. She once again looked at me

"Are you trying to show me tall grasses?" she asked tilting her head,

I chuckled then took her by the hand. When I walked into the tall grass with her, the entire area lit up like a blazing fire.

"Wow!" she was awed, seeing how many fireflies there were! She reached out her hand to touch them, but they escaped each time.

"Here, give me your hands." I had both of my hands together, holding onto something in it.

She immediately reached out her hand to hold onto mine. I blushed with how forward she was. I slowly removed my hand from hers and left what I caught with her. 

Slowly, she opened up her hand, and two fireflies soared up into the night sky. She couldn't help letting out a giggle.

"Did you like the palace, little bird?" I asked as she was looking like a kid around, and finally she realized that she did not behave like she always did. She coughed and collected herself and then nodded her head.

"It's time for you to return before anyone finds out you're missing," I said and she nodded again. However, she was reluctant to leave the place. The place gave her a sense of calming to her chaotic life. She didn't want to return back to reality. She looked back and I sighed.

"I'll bring you back here again, one day." I said, finally and she looked at me as if she was reluctant to accept the offer from me, yet wanted to come here again. It took her a minute to contemplate when she asked in a low voice.

"Promise?" She looked down at me as I waited for her to climb on the horse.

  Although she wasn't sure why she'd ask me to promise her.

"I promise." I smiled, it was more enchanting with the help of the light from the full moon high up in the sky. I took off the emerald pendant hanging onto my robe. Putting it in one of her hands, I said, "Proof of my promise."

She held onto the jade pendant tightly, "Alright. You promise!"

I nodded with a chuckle, and then held her waist but she moved away and climbed the horse by herself and I shook my head. She is a complete paradox. One minute behaving like a little kid, and next minute like a ferocious tiger who was wary of the invader.

I climbed back on the horse behind her, once again anticipating the assaults she was doing on me unconsciously. Her hair danced with the breeze and the smile bloomed on my lips was a rare one. I somehow didn't want the journey to end, yet I knew she had to go.

She was not mine to begin with, and I didn't want to drag her in the war I was fighting. Her hatred towards me was already enough emotion I could get from her. And if she served me for a while, I would make sure to have enough memories for this lifetime to make me smile every single day of my life.

When we arrived back to the back area of her palace, a smile came and went on Abigail's face, she looked at me and then took a deep breath as she said, 

"Thank you, it was the most fun I've had in awhile."

"Little bird! This is the second time you said this to me." I let out another small laugh, "There will be more to come."

"The second time I said this to you?" she tilted her head slightly to the side. Her face was looking confused, the questions were visible on her face.

  But Before she got a chance to ask further, I heard footsteps coming towards us. I could not afford to be seen. With her. My enemies would be alerted and her image would be affected.

Even if I got rid of the first somehow, I did not have the heart to bear her getting disgraced.

  My expression went on full alert.

"I have to go, someone is coming." I quickly bid her goodbye with a light pat on her head like she was a child.

"Good bye'' I heard her whispering as I jumped on the hundred and rode away far from her, her smell and her twinkling eyes. I stood in the dark as i waited for her people to come and escort her back safely. She stood there dumfounded for a moment looking at the direction where i had left. I felt pain in my heart the way she was looking towards me.

Soon her brother and a few knights came and she whined like a child. I chuckled looking at her and soon they all left while i was still there, standing alone like always. That was my end, lonesome and hidden in the dark. It was always going to repeat itself.
