My Eunoia

Mysterioush Man

Someone's Pov

I was going back to my usual spot to watch Eunoia but I couldn't see her in her room. I looked at the front house but she was not there. My heart starts to beat faster without knowing where she is. Then I heard a loud scream coming from the backyard and it was Eunoia. I ran as fast as I could to see what was going on. Then the mysterious man is in front of her, he comes back. Before he makes any move I pulled a dagger to attack the man and I caught him by the arm and trapped him in my arms. I put the dagger near his neck and asked him who he was but he just laughed at me and said "Another knight, ei?". After he said those words, he vanished into the air. I was so angry at the moment and I didn't realize that Eunoia was in front of me and with the look on her face she was shocked.

"Who are you?" she asked with a trembling voice.

I reached into my pocket and reached for the "Zeta". It is a magical dust that will erase memories. I know that this is not the best time to answer Eunoia and I do hope that she will understand the situation soon. We have been using Zeta to Eunoia because we want her to live a normal life first before we send her and prepare her for her destiny. I threw the dust into the air and quickly Eunoia fell asleep. I caught her in my arms and put her into bed. I gazed at her face for a while, while she was laying in her bed. Their are a lot of things that is going on in my mind and I can't wait the day wherein she will know me.

The next day, I reported the incident that had happened last night to the XorpKnight. It is obvious that the mysterious man is one of the men of Herbert. They decided to double up our team for further the protection of Eunoia. I disguised myself a a normal citizen in the town so that I can further keep an eye on Eunoia's surrounding. Then I saw her with that guy again and it makes me sick. His name is Drake, and he is one of the suitor of Eunoia. Drake handed out flowers to Eunoia but she rejected the offering.

"Hahahahah!!"

I didn't notice that I laughed so hard that is why people looks at me. I ignored them and pulled the book closer to my face. Then I heard a familiar voice.

"Captain Axel! Captain Axel!"

It was one of my men Dante. He asked me to go to the secret meeting room because they need me there are sudden attacks that is happening. I asked Dante to keep an eye on Eunoia for a while. I rushed as fast as I could to get to the secret room.

I am Captain Axel and I am one of the top rank knight. I went to this town 3 years ago. I was assigned to guard and protect Eunoia. During those time I fought a lot of Herbert's men who wanted to kill Eunoia. Herbert is the ruler of neighboring kingdom called Radu. Herbert is a king who is blinded by power that is why he plotted a lot of war to destroy our kingdom. Those war had took the life of my fellow knight and innocent people. That is why when Herbert finds out that the Queen had given birth he wanted to kill the baby so that he can easily control over our kingdom because he knows the prophecy. We have now high hopes to

Eunoia because she is not just an ordinary girl but rather she has a role to restore the kingdoms peace according to the prophecy.

Eunoia's Pov

I woke up with a pounding in my head. I dream of something blurry last night it felt odd and at the same so real. I remember that I was standing in the backyard and I saw this mysterious man wearing a dark cloak and then a man attacked him from behind. I don't remember their faces because they are all blank. As I keep on remembering it my head starts to pound even harder. Well it was just a dream. I got up from bed and started doing my day to day routine, before heading to work I watered my plants and prepared breakfast I also cooked extra for lunch. As I step outside of my house there was a strong wind that almost blew my hat off. It felt weird for where that strong wind came from and yet it is not a windy day. While walking towards the library I saw Drake with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

"Good morning my love this flower is for you"

I pretended that I didn't hear him and continued walking towards the library. But he keeps on bothering me and I started to get annoyed by him. I already told him numerous times that I am not interested in him but he keeps on doing the same thing everyday. As I enter the library where I work, I sat down for a while and release a sigh.

"Is it him again?" asked Jasmine

"Yes! I am starting to get annoyed whenever I see him." I replied

"Why? Do you have no feelings towards him?"asked Jasmine

"None at all, I don't want a man who is full of himself, he is selfish and full of lies." I replied

"What is your ideal man Eunoia?"asked Jasmine

I just told her to start putting back the books from the counter so that we can easily finished our job. I remember when I was still 16 I grew fond on one of the book at home. It was entitled Kingdom Shelom I love the plot, setting, character on that book. I fell in love with one of the character in the story, he was a knight in the story he fought numerous battles in the story. The reason that I admired him was because he is not just strong but also he is caring, kind and have a heart for his kingdom. How I wish I could meet a man just like him.

After work I asked Jasmine to go with me at the market to buy some stuffs but she said she needs to get home because she needs to watch over her nephew. I tell her that it is okay and say goodbye to her. I went to the market all by myself good thing that there are a lot of people here at night. When I got all the things that I need I head back at my house. While walking I notice a man following me. My heart starts to beat faster no matter where I go he is always there at a distant. I tried to distract him by going to places which are crowded, I removed my ponytail and wear the clothes that I bought a while ago. I went inside a cafe, I thought I outsmarted him but he also enter in the cafe. I hold the menu on my face and tried peaking to see the man but that man starts to walk towards me. My hearts skips faster and faster as he gets closer at me. Then I heard a familiar voice.

"Hey Eunoia why do you keep on ignoring me?"

It was Drake all along, I ask him to go away because I wanted to be alone. But he keeps on asking me to go out with him. I can see to his eyes that he is becoming angry whenever I don't reply at him. Then out of nowhere he started screaming inside the cafe and people are all eyes on us. I am getting embarrass at this situation. He keeps on yelling at me and is about to throw to me the bag that he is holding. Good thing that a man inside the cafe confront him and tells him to leave. Drake tried to punched the man but that man is quick in avoiding the punch. The man grabs Dante and ask him to leave at an instant. I can see that Drake got scared and quickly run out the door. The man walk towards me and ask me if I was okay. I nodded and thank the man for the help. He introduced himself to me. His name is Leo and he seems kind. He is tall has a broad shoulders, blond hair, has a soulful eyes, and naturally slim lips. It is getting late so I head out and go back home. There is still fear in my chest after the incident as I was walking Leo came towards me and said that he will accompany me towards home. At first I insist but there could be possibility that Drake would approach me again and so I agree to Leo to accompany me at home. Even though he is a complete stranger I feel that he is a good guy. As I reach at my home I thank Leo for all his help tonight how I wish I could repay him. He just smiled at me and waves goodbye.

Axel's Pov

Me and my men were asked to go back to the kingdom Shelom because there were a lot of Herbert's men who were abusing and destroying the villages and everyday it is getting worst. I called all of my men and went to our secret place so that we can enter in the portal that will lead us back to our kingdom. When we got to Kingdom Shelom the situation is much worst than I expected. We immediately help the villagers in getting them to a safer place. Smoke are everywhere and houses are on fire. As I am running in the village to see if somebody needs help I saw a familiar figure behind the flames. It was the same man who tried to do harm to Eunoia. I tried to catch him but he vanished in the air same as last time. After we moves the villagers into a safe place I head back to the castle to talk with Master Carl to know and assess the current situation in the kingdom while I was gone. As I enter in his room I saw him talking with a knight and it is quite serious.

"Captain Axel! Good to see you again" said Master Carl

I bow at him and ask him the current situation in the kingdom. He gives me a deep sigh and look at the big window behind him.

"Everything is falling in the kingdom and the people are afraid because of the attacks from the neighboring kingdom. Now, they don't trust us anymore because we failed to protect them. I think it is time for the princess to go back here, I know that it will not be easy at first but I have high hopes in her because he carries the royal blood and she will fulfill her duties according to the prophecy."

Master Carl asked me to bring the princess back at the kingdom as soon as possible so that she can lead us and restore the kingdom. As a knight I give my trust to the princess and I know she will be a great ruler in the future.

I went to the same place where the portal opens as I step in I was transported back to Germon. It was already night time, I went to Eunoia's house and she is busy cooking. After a while I sense a dark aura inside the house. It was no doubt that it was one of Herbert's men he had a dagger and was about to stab Eunoia at her back. I burst inside the house and swing my sword to the assassin. He immediately fell into the ground. Eunoia was shocked when she saw the man lying in the floor with blood. I asked her to packed her things because it is not safe here anymore. There could be a possibility that there will be more Herbert's men will attacked us very soon.
