Twisted Fate of the Knight

Home (1)

"Is that so? Well, I'm only yours, master," He said and now I just noticed that he calls me master again if I have not heard that 'Does he treating his slave?' whispered from the passers-by.

"I told you that don't call me that if we are outside and when you are in that form, Ash," I said to him as I was smiling even though I was annoyed.

"Yes, Ma--" I feed him his chocolate cake to stop him saying 'master'.

"One more, Ash and I'll be sure that it's not a cake will be going on your mouth,"

"Then, what?" He said after he swallowed what's in his mouth.

"Ugh, just eat it okay," I said as I sip on my chocolate latte.

"Perhaps, I am willing to accept if you gave the cake with your mouth just like what you did to the Prince," He said so I looked at him badly because he mentions again what I want to forget that incident.

"What?! You have hands and I told you that I don't have any choice back then, okay?!" I said as I am looking pissed because of him.

"Then, if ever I have an injury in my both arms would you willing to feed me?" He said as he looks at me.

"What? Why would you say something like that? Well, if you have an injury then I have no choice but to feed you," I answered him with confusion.

"Then, I'd prefer you should feed me with your mouth," He said so I was annoyed with him again.

"Why would I do that? Are you like this when you are in your human form? I'd prefer you in your beast form though," I said and suddenly he fell silent so I wondered why but he continued to eat and did not speak again until he finished eating.

"Where do you want to go to?" I said because he was quiet until now when we went out and walked.

"I want to see the sunset from a high place," He said as he smiled at me. I did not expect him to smile but not a happy smile.

"Then, follow me. I know a place where the best place to watch the sunset," I smiled as I hold his hand as we run. It's already afternoon so it's good to watch the sunset today and I also want to go to the place I always go to when I used to take a day off before going home.

"This place is amazing, Master," He said as he looks at the sun as if his blue eyes saw something special, it's a good thing that it is not too many people, otherwise I might have hit him. 

"I am glad you like it," I said as I smile at him when he looked at me, I don't know if he was blushing or not since it was really hard to tell because of the color of the sun's rays hitting his face.

"*chuckled* are you okay?" I said because he suddenly looks away.

"I'm okay, by the way, let's go," He said as he holds me as we descended since we were at the top of the rock trampled. 

"I'm wondering Ash. Why did you show your human form now?" I asked him when we were walking away from the town.

"Hmm. I showed my human form to you once," He said, once? to me? I can't remember when.

"Really? Why I can't remember when?" I said because I don't really remember anything.

"Yes, but you seem can't remember but that's okay," He said as he goes back to his wolf form.

"Hmm, I really can't remember. Tell me, Ash." I said as I ride on his back.

'No, you should remember it,' he said so I pouted.

"Just so you wait," I said as I hold tight at him since he was running fast.

"I hope they did not send some knights to look for me," I said when we are near the Collins State.

'Maybe,' Ash said.

I went down from Ash's back when we were at the gate and I was surprised when someone suddenly hugged me but suddenly pulled away so the one who hugged me lets go of me.

"Ian?" I said when I see Ian who hugged me and Ash held me in his human form again.

"Avy! I am glad to see you again," He said as he was trying to hug me again but then Ash stop him as he went in front of me. Surprisingly Ian was not surprised by Ash's transformation but I think he knows already.

"I know that you are Avy's friend but don't hug her like that," Ash said to Ian so I removed his grip on me and approached Ian as I hug him.

"I'm sorry," I said to him as he hugs me back and I immediately let go of the hug and faced Ash who frowned and looked annoyed.

"It's okay, Ash, and why are you again in your human form," I said as I pat his head to calm him down but he just looks away.

"By the way, Avy. Where did you go and why didn't you tell me that you will be gone? I'm really worried about you." He said to me.

"I went away for personal plans and I didn't tell you because I don't want you to go with me when you have work," I said as I walk inside the gate and they followed but Ash is now in wolf form.

"Still, you should at least tell me or informed me, I just know that you left when I saw Lady Collins that you were not with her when she visited the palace a week later after you left," He said while following me.

" I know, I'm sorry," I said as I stopped walking and turned to him so he was surprised when I suddenly stopped and faced him.

"Hey, why did you stopped so suddenly?" He said and withdrew because I was so close to him.

"I'll make it up to you, just tell me when is your day-off," I said to him. He looks surprised that he didn't expect me to make it up to him.

"Fine, but don't think I let you go this time for not informing, Avy," He answered as he looks at me seriously. Now, I can't back out of what I said.

"I know, so when is your day-off?" I ask him as I walked again.

"Two days from now," He said. What ?! Two days from now? I did not expect it immediately because now I think it will only be the two of us that it feels so awkward since how many years it has been when we go out that the two of us only.

"Then, in two days will be our bonding," I said.

"You go in first, Avy. I'll just send a message to His Highness," He said so I went in first with Ash who had been quiet for a while.

"Avy?!" Sofie shouted when she saw me so she went down immediately but when she was close to me she suddenly slipped so I immediately supported her before she slipped on the floor.

"Be careful, Sofie. You don't have to run since I won't be gone, okay?" I said as I help her stand well.

"I'm worried about you when her Grace was not with you," She said as she hugs me tight.

"S-Sofie, you were hugging too tight. I can't breathe," I said as I removed her arms on me.

"Avy?! You came back?!" Lady Miary said as she goes down the stairs and obviously in a hurry to go down like Sofie when she saw me.

"Lady Miary, Good Evening," I said as I smiled at her but then she punches me in the stomach.

"That's for making me worry," She said as she looks at me while pouting.

"Then, I'm sorry," I said while holding my stomach since it hurts like hell.

"Hmph, by the way, are you okay?" She said as she looks at me worrying.

"Yes, I'm okay," I said while thinking 'do you think I am okay after you punched me?!' as I smiled.

"By the way, where did you stay?" She said as we went into the visiting room.

"In the forest, in the magical tree to be specific," I said casually.

"Why would you stayed there for how many days?" She said and I didn't answer right away since I looked at Ash who is laying on the floor so Lady Miary looked at Ash.

"Nevermind, Avy as long as you are okay is enough," She said after looking and Ash already asleep.

"Well, I just woke up two days ago and I needed to recover so we just got back," I said as I scratch the back of my head while I laughed a little.

"What? you sleep for 5 days?!" she surprisingly said.

"Yes, I think I used up almost of my mana in making the antidote," I said and I remember the kissing moment again, I mean, feeding the antidote like a film inside my mind.

"Is that really okay?" She asks.

"Yes, since I regain my mana so I am okay," I said. We looked at the person who entered and it was Ian.

"Good Evening, Lady Collins," He greets her as he seated beside me while Lady Miary was in front of us.

"Did you inform Prince Renz?" She asks Ian.

"Yes, since he is already here, I should go back now," He said.

"Why don't you eat here for dinner?" She invites Ian and he looked at me as if he's asking if it's okay with me so I raised an eyebrow at him as if I was saying to him that 'it's your choice so don't look at me like that'-look.

"Okay," He said so I told them to go first in the dining area since I will leave Ash in my room.

"Ash, what do you want to eat?" I asked him when we arrived at my room.

'Anything,' he said as he lays down on my bed.

"Okay, I'll be back," I said as I left my room and went to the dining room.

"I'm sorry, I'm late," I said because they were all there including the Duke who is smiling at me.

"It's okay," the Duke's answered. We ate and I did not expect this to be the first time I ate with Ian with Lady Miary and the Duke. When we finished eating, Ian said goodbye and I went to the kitchen to look for something to eat or something that I can cook for Ash because I am ashamed to command the chef to cook and Ash doesn't usually eat if it is not me who cooks.

"Ash here is your food," I said when I entered my room and he looked at me and changed into human form again. 

"Thank you, this is new?" He said as he looks and smells the food that I gave him.

"Yes, since I have the ingredients to make that dish so eat it up," I said as I prepared him his water. He ate quietly and I watched him like a child when he ate. 

"Ash," I called him. I approached him and hold his face as I removed the rice on his cheek. He looks flushed when I step back.

"There's rice on your cheeks," I said as I showed him. He looked away as his cheek blushed so I laughed because he looked cute.

"You should have just told me," He said while he looks away from me as he is eating.

"*chuckled* okay," I said.

After he eats, we went to sleep, and I don't mind sleeping with Ash since he was in his beast's form and I got used to being next to him especially when we were in the forest.

I woke up with a loud knock on the door so I get up and open the door. I saw Sofie smiling so widely as if she received something good. 

"Avy, the Prince wants to see you tomorrow that we just receive a message from him," She said while smiling at me as she holds my hand. 

"*yawn* why would he wants to see me,?" I said as I rub my eye since I was really sleepy.

" Since you cured him then I think he wants to reward you," She said, she has a point since I treated him last week.

"That's a given but I told him that I help him because he helps her Grace so send a letter that I don't need any rewards," I said as I go back to my bed as I hug Ash since he's so fluffy.

"He said that if you decline, it means you tarnishing the royal family's kindness," She said so I woke up because of what she said.

"Then, I have no choice to decline him personally," I said then slept again.

"Avy, you can't do that," She said as she pulling me but I grabbed Ash and the two of us fell from the bed. I did not expect Sofie to pull Ash and me, that results in, I was below Ash and Ash suddenly transformed so our faces are so close to each other. We stared at each other and only now did I notice that Ash's eyes looked like the sea it's so beautiful.

"Ahh!" Sofie shouted so we both looked at her and Ash moves away from me since he was above me and sat down while yawning.

"Sofie, calm down," I said as I seated beside Ash.

"How? Ash, can transform?" She said as she looks at Ash who is bored as he goes back to my bed. 

"Yes," I said as I went back to my bed as I told Ash to go back to being a wolf and he went back to being a wolf so I immediately hugged him again.

"Avy, aren't you afraid he might take advantage of you?" She said as she started to pulls me away from Ash.

"Don't worry Sofie, I'll give him a beating if he does and so far he didn't do anything wrong," I said as I hug Ash so tightly. 

'Master, I can't breathe,' Ash said as he was trying to slip away but I did not let him go.

"No, you will also suffer too, Ash," I said while Sofie is still pulling me.

"Avy, you should still be careful even if he is a magical beast," She said, Ash suddenly transforms into a human so I hugging his back and he faced me then he looks at Sofie. 

"Wah! Avy,--"
