KANİTA - Wingless princess-Shattered I

chapter 15

Silitsia had turned bright red. “I’m sorry… it’s just… sometimes my thoughts get too intense,” she said, looking into Andres’s eyes.

Andres bowed his head silently and turned around the fire. Rodrigo stood, saying, "So, is there a bit of hidden romance here? That's probably the most interesting thing about this campsite." He was still smiling wryly.

Rodrigo's jokes eased the tension somewhat, but the eye contact between Andres and Silitsia remained. As the night wore on, everyone was left alone with their own thoughts. Andres tried to conceal his deep concern and concern for Silitsia, but was impressed by the peace and support he saw in her eyes. As the night passed, the group slowly gathered around the fire. Everyone, relieved by the events, tried to rest with tired eyes. Although Silitsia found some peace in Andres's presence, the questions and emotions she had pondered throughout the night still gnawed at her. Andres, never taking his eyes off Silitsia, kept a watchful eye on the campsite, ensuring its safety.

After Silitsia fell asleep, Rodrigo decided to take a fleece to Andres so she wouldn't get cold. Although his eyes were sleepless and tired, his kindness and devotion to his friends were evident. He handed the fleece back to Silitsia and said, "You need to sleep, Silitsia. Don't worry about me; this is your fleece. If I take it, you'll get cold."

Silitsia smiled, appreciating Andres's kind gesture. "Don't worry, I won't get cold when you and my friends are with me," she replied. Her eyes were filled with tiredness, but they were peaceful.

Andres gently accepted the fur Silitsia offered him and sat down beside her. He hugged her gently. His wings wrapped around her, protecting her from the cold winds and darkness of the night. From the outside, only the large, powerful black wings were visible, but from the inside, Silitsia's head rested on Andres's chest, her eyes gazing at him patiently.

Andres placed a light, gentle kiss on Silitsia's forehead. His own eyes were slowly closing. He placed his head on Silitsia's and began the process of falling asleep. There was a quiet, comforting peace within.

The two young people slept side by side for a while, sharing this intimate moment. Andres's warmth and protective wings made Silitsia forget her worries and the cold. Sleep brought a measure of peace to their weary bodies and minds.

With the first light of the morning, everything slowly brightened. The first light of the day filtered through the trees and reached the campsite.

It spread. Andres and Silitsia slowly opened their eyes and began to wake. Silitsia realized she was waking in Andres's protective arms. Her eyes were shining, finally at peace.

When Andres saw that Silitsia had woken up, he slowly got up and helped her. “Good morning,” he said gently, his eyes still tired but shining with a peaceful glow. Silitsia smiled slowly and nodded. “Good morning,” he said.

The moment Andrés and Silitsia woke up in the early hours of the morning was the beginning of a series of strange and comical situations. When Andrés rose from Silitsia's side and spread his wings, the sight before him was both comical and terrifying. Rodrigo, holding both his hands warmly closed, stared at them with narrowed eyes,

He stood in a rather comical position, tapping his feet lightly on the ground.

Alessandra approached Rodrigo, placed her elbow on his shoulder, and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?” Rodrigo replied with narrowed eyes, “Either you’re really stupid, or we are.” He lightened the mood a bit with his laugh, which was humorous.

Having gathered themselves together, the group set off. Alessandra approached Silitsia with curiosity and asked, "What happened last night, princess?"

Silitsia replied, somewhat uncomfortably, “Nothing, we just….”

“You just what?” Alessandra interjected, still curious.

Silitsia said, “We just slept. Come on,

There is nothing between us,”

Alessandra laughed sarcastically, which caught Andrés's attention. “Look here,” Alessandra said. “Why are you denying it, princess?”

Silitsia's eyes were shining with a touch of irritation. "Enough," she said. "I'm a princess, and he's a wingless one. Come on, even the drums are equal."

"Don't be so sure, princess," Alessandra continued to smile. But Andrés heard those words and felt a deep pain in his heart. All the way, his face remained rigid, his gaze and bearing reminiscent of a knight.

When Silitsia approached Andrés to ask him something, Andrés responded curtly

He was giving answers and walking away. This bothered Silitsia, because Andrés's demeanor seemed rather cold and distant, unlike his previous kind and supportive behavior.

As the group continued on their journey, Silitsia was plagued by questions. Andrés's cold demeanor strained her relationship with him and impacted the group's dynamics. Alessandra insisted on telling Silitsia something, but Silitsia had to somehow understand and resolve Andrés's behavior.

As the journey continues, the group, each alone in their own inner worlds, begins to prepare for the new adventures that await them. The tension between Silitsia and Andrés could influence future events and reshape the group's dynamics.

Silitsia and her friends retired to their rooms for the village's night. Silitsia had directed Felix to hide in the forest near the village; she didn't want the wingless to see him. Everything seemed fine.

When they arrived at their room, Rodrigo immediately summoned two women. He instructed one to go to Andres's room. She knocked on the door and confronted Andres, who had entered without permission. "I saw you were alone. Would you like to spend the night with me?" Andres asked, thoughtfully about the woman's offer, when the doorbell rang.

When Andres opened the door, his eyes widened when he saw Silitsia standing before him. Just as he was thinking about what to say, a woman's voice from inside stopped him. "Come on, Dark Knight, there's a woman waiting to be rescued in her bed," the woman said.
