The Assasin from the other world

Chapter 6

When the moon rises above our heads, Honey decided to get herself some dip. Since the day she was found, she has never got herself wash even once. That must have been a very horrible experience for her since the weather's hot in the morning but cold in the night.

Meanwhile~

Theodore is at the Lake, trying to get his peaceful wash after a long day of training and muscle sore. He suddenly heard footsteps coming closer and quickly hide behind the rock, preparing for an attack.  What he didn't know is that there is another person who had a long week of training and was here to seek comfort from the lake as well. 

A huge splash coming forward in his direction as the unknown person jumps into the lake causing the wave of water to go to his splash on his face. He decided to take a peek to see who it was and just as he expected to be another male from the camp it is none other than Honey. 'Does she not sleep' He thought to himself, realization hit him as he remembers that she is not wearing any clothes. The only choice he has is to hide behind this rock until she is gone. Crying internally as the cold wind blew in his direction and he can't make a single move or he will be found. It will be weird if he comes out now, she would suspect he stalk her, starting to regret the fact that he even bothers to hide. He shook his head, regretting about the past will brings him nowhere, what's more, important is that there is a naked female just a few meters away.

Theo POV:

When I turn around again to see and she is gone. That was fast and when I turn around a dagger came out of nowhere lining on my throat while a figure emerges from the water. How did she know I was here and how is she so fast. Her movement is like the speed of a snake. "Who are you and why are you here?" she said with a dark voice and her dagger lean closer to my neck. 

Then she looks again, "Your highness?" she looks at me with an eye that says 'were you spying on me' and immediately cover up with an emotionless expression. Her eyes are exactly the same eye as the one she used the last time I try to sneak on her. Bright green eyes that kill and as sharp as a sword itself, no wonder she was called a witch by the knights. Green eyes are rare, even in the north where the Rytarians tribes used to exist but that is few hundreds of years ago. It is impossible for them to exist, legends say they hold strong mana power just like Honey but we have no evidence of it. 

She places her swords down immediately," Sorry I thought you were assassins". She said while looking into my eyes. Her green eyes do look beautiful when she is no longer shooting daggers, it looks like a gemstone,

"That's alright but just for your information, I was here first," I said to her before she could think of the worst assumption.

"Then why are you hiding behind a rock", she said staring behind the rock then at me again. 

"The same reason as you trying to threaten me with the daggers, I thought you were an assassin". I said trying to solve a misunderstanding because it is true I didn't intend to hide.  "How do you know I was here?" I asked her, wanting her reply immediately.

"You were being really loud, the feel the water wave coming from you," she said like it is no man's business and shrug it off. To be able to feel just a small wave of water like this does that mean her sense is stronger than Richard? She has only been training for a week and now she is fast like a snake strong as a bull. "So that means the story that Matthew exaggerate from his brother is true as well?". If it is true that she could be a treat since we do not know her identity nor is she a spy. Her memory loss may just be a cover-up story.

I walked closer to her and she immediately steps away with both hands up with her face stern. "Your highness, I highly appreciate the view but we can continue after we get dressed before you regret your action," she said without emotions on her face. I gave her a questioning look and just remember that I was butt naked and immediately blush at the thought that she has seen everything. That is not the end right in front of me is a butt naked female, who don't seem to care nor hold any shame. "you have no worries, Your highness the sky is dark I can only see your top half", well...top half is still inappropriate how can she act so normal seeing a naked man. 

"Good idea," I said with a fake sound of seriousness while I actually been feeling uncomfortable. Both of us went out our own way to get a dress with our backs turning up against each other. Once we got ourselves sorted we continue on the conversation that we left just now. The memory of her body was still in my mind, her body was fit and leanly muscular. 

"Have your memory return, even just a little?" I asked her when she comes facing me but her face still held no emotions except for her bright green eyes that glow with the moon. "No," she said without hesitating. "Are you an assassin or a spy?" I asked her directly hoping she would reveal herself when she answers, however again she said no immediately. I decided to continue testing her to see whether I could trust her, she is talented having her on our side would benefit us greatly. 

Even if she denies that she is a spy or assassin, she might be true since tonight to be her great assassin plan to kill me. They are no other people here other than me and her. If she is here to kill me she would have done it in the lake a few minutes ago. "Can we trust you?" I asked her focusing on her body and face language. "If you want to," she said without even thinking. "What do you mean?" I asked her curious about what did she meant.

"Trusting me or not have nothing to do with me, if you trust me then I will do my best and if you don't trust me I will still do my best." She said not even stuttering. 

"We need you...we need as many people as possible. People who would stand by our side and fight for justice for the people in this land. If you are a trustable person would you pledge your loyalty towards me and fight alongside us" I said looking at her reaction, if she could pledge her loyalty then she is a trustable knight, and if she didn't mean she has pledged loyalty to someone before.

Honey immediately hold up her daggers and bow down right in front of me, that was not expected but it is a good thing. 

Time skips~

Honey has pledged her loyalty and we are currently taking our trip back to our respectable resting place. "Honey... I wanted you to work for us but not as an object but as a person who would give your opinion. I wanted a country that everyone is equal. What do you think about it?" I said striking up a conversation, I wanting her opinion about everyone having equal rights. 

She just stares blankly at me and just shrugs. I raised my eyebrow at her reaction "Do you not have anything you wish to have?". She started thinking about it and finally she could give a great answer, "As long there food and a comfortable place to sleep and I will be fine your highness", she said. Now I am really hearing something does this girl not wish for anything? Title? Clothes?. Are all ladies like this? When was the last time I talked to a female again? 

However, I do hope she change her opinion one day. As a great leader, I will change her opinion about life. No one deserves to be treated as an object but a human that will give their opinion and work happily by my side.
