225 David Part 1
I was having a hard time not laughing. I mean, Adel’s timing was perfect. The sound of desperation in her voice and the way she screamed out made it all seem too real. And Count Freedman’s face was perfect as well. The shocked, confused expression that said: “I have no idea what is going on!” Made it hard not to laugh.
Of course, I know that Adel is perfectly fine. Mr. Blobs is keeping me up to date on things. But I must say those two work well together. There was no barrier to their understanding of each other’s intentions. “Someone save me!”
I guess it was now my turn to act as well. I raised an eyebrow and looked at Count Freedman with cold eyes. “Why do I hear Adel’s voice? Count Freedman, what have you done to this kingdom’s Princess!?”
“What!? No! I have no idea what is going on! I haven’t kidnapped anyone since that damn fox demi!” Count Freedman yelled out. I sneered and waved my hand as my eyes lit up, using wind magic to blow all the guards away. “You! What are you doing!?”
“Rescuing the Princess from the hands of the evil mastermind!” With that, a giant magic circle formed on the floor, and a large pillar of flame shot up through the ceiling of the estate. I had to make a big show out of it after all since I needed the guards to show up.
“You! Stop this instant!” Count Freedman began writing a magic circle in front of him, which I kindly waited for him to do since I needed to make it seem like he was trying to stop me from saving Adel. If it wasn’t for the fact that this was real life, I would have to say that Count Freedman’s acting ability of being a stupid noble was Grade A. No, wait, he is just a stupid noble.
“Halt! What is going on here!?” I heard a loud yell from behind me. A bunch of knights rushed right into the manor, one of which, is on a monster I have never seen before. It was like a lion but not. It was very fluffy and pretty with its white fur coat and long droopy ears. I suddenly want to have one. “What is going on he….”
“Someone, please! Anyone! Save me!” Adel’s plea for help was right on cue!
“Sir knight, Princess Adel is being held captive by Count Freedman!” I yelled out, causing the knight’s eyes to grow wide. He raised his hand and yelled out: “Capture the Count and everyone else in the estate! And you!” The Knight looked at me with a suspicious gaze as he said: “You come with me.”
I nodded and watched as the knight climbed off the fluff and walked past me. He had an aura about him that made it hard to say no to his orders. It made me wonder which knight order he was from.
I followed behind him as we made our way to the room Adel was held in. I quickly undid my barrier as the knight slashed the door to pieces with his sword, revealing a dirt covered room and Adel, who was in disarray. When Adel saw me, tears streamed from her eyes as she yelled out: “Faith!”
“Adel!” I called back and rushed past the knight. I ran over and hugged Adel. “Are you okay!? Did he do anything weird to you!? I am sorry I was late.”
“I’m fine. He just kept throwing dirt at me. I do not know why. But he kept screaming: You filthy royal, this is where you belong in the dirt. When my forces are big enough, I will take you all down.” Adel cried out as she sobbed. I quickly undid her ropes and began wiping her face clean while sneakily de-summoning Mr. Blobs. The Knight behind me had been quiet this entire time. So I was unsure of what he was thinking.
“But still, you have been put through such a horrible event. I will be sure to ask His Majesty to give the Count the harshest punishment possible. No one is allowed to touch my best friend.” I said coldly while wiping Adel’s tears.
“Ahem…” The knight behind me coughed, causing me to turn my head. “We will need you both to come to the Knights station and make a statement. But I will escort you back first to allow Her Highness to get changed and cleaned up..”
I nodded my head at the Knight. Now that I was looking at him, he was quite handsome. Dirty blond hair, deep blue eyes with a chiseled jawline. I guess she would make many girls swoon. “Thank you. With you around, we will feel much safer.”
I could hear the screams and yelling downstairs as Count Freedman and his family were being dragged out. But when I saw kids also being dragged away, I looked over at Adel for her to only shake her head at me, telling me not to say anything. I just hoped nothing bad would happen to them. They were still young, after all…
The knights had already gotten a carriage from the estate for us to use. I helped Adel onto the carriage and sat down next to her. But just when I thought we would not get a chance to be alone to talk about what had just happened, the Knight from before also boarded with us. He looked at us and asked: “So care to explain?”
Adel pursed her lips and turned her head away, not wanting to answer his question. Her reaction kind of made me confused as Adel was acting strangely in front of this knight. I looked between the two with a confused expression, only to receive a chuckle from the knight.
“You have every right to be confused as my existence is a secret. In the public’s eye, I am the leader of the Royal White Knights, but in truth, I am Adel’s Uncle. My name is David now with no last name.” David explained, causing me to widen my eyes. I still did not completely understand what was going on, but it seemed that there was much more to all of this than I should know. So I do not understand why he was telling me of all people.
