The Sacrificial Lamb

Within minutes...

From inside the tiny space of the pink flying pod, Felicia Lee could see the great headquarters located in the middle of the capital city.

However, before they could make a safe landing, a loud 'swoosh' sound could be heard miles away.

Instantaneously...

"Boom!!"

A missile launched from a war boat had hit the left corner of the headquarters. At the same moment, all of the soldiers and generals that were away from the missile impact, due to the emergency meeting in the central area of the headquarters -The practice grounds- rushing out and speed out from the headquarters to the source of the attack by military trucks.

"Get us down, agent 003!!".

"No, we are safer up here!".

Frantically, Felicia Lee repeats her order. "Get us down now! My husband is down there somewhere in the inferno fire and I want to keep him safe!".

"Madam, it's not your job to keep him safe! It's the other way around!".

"I'm his personal guard!"

"That position was no longer exists when you marry him!!!"

The back-forward conversation brought her nowhere, thus she manually opened the pod door while they were still high in the air and said in a threatening manner, " Agent 003... If you don't listen to me at this instant, I would jump down to the sea and swim to him instead!!!!".

Sighed hard, Agent 003 gave up, and immediately they landed nearby the commotion. "Don't leave my sight, madam!!!".

Felicia Lee walked behind Agent 003 while her heart drumming like crazy.

The enemy location was by the shore, is five minutes away by the highest speed of the military truck. However, how would they fight back the enemy on the sea from the land?

Before she could finish her thought, a flying jet ten times the size of her flying pod, similar to a shark shape, took off from the headquarters underground. From the clear window, she could see her husband in a passenger seat, heading towards the sea. "He's alive!", she shrieked joyfully.

However, the simultaneous sound of missiles launched and the loud booming sound was heard in their surrounding perimeter area. From afar, she could see that the big shark jet was launching missile after missile to their enemy. Ten warships to be exact!

"Agent 003, let's go inside the pod! I couldn't see the fight from the ground!"

"We can't help, madam! Let's just watch from afar and be safe! We just gonna be in their way! The pod was not built for war, it's for leisure!".

Ignoring agent 003 suggestion, Felicia Lee was running toward her flying pod at the driver side, she was taken agent 003 by surprise when she took off at a speed of light. "Noooo! How do I explain to master Alex if you get hurt?!!".

What a headache situation!

Agent 003 could only follow the headstrong madam from a spare flying pod, twas hid in the secret base underground for emergency purposes.

The fight has been going for 10 minutes. The 40 military trucks surprisingly equipped like a war tank, with a missile launcher. Half of the immense enemy warships had been drowned under the sea, while the rest still launching missile after missile. Since the capital city and all cities in the Emperor country was protected by a meteor shield at this emergency time, no civilians would be hurt during the attack. However, the headquarters was not shielded so the soldiers could fight back. Half of the headquarters already engulfed in inferno fire from the missile attacks. It's a great thing that they no longer at the headquarters ground.

Following behind her husband's tail closely, with her newfound pilot skill, Felicia concentrated on watching for his back secretly at a safe distance.

Unbeknownst to Alex Lee that his wife had been tailing him with a pitiful flying pod, not made for war, while he was busy aiming missiles on the enemy warships.

Alex Lee inquired," Eugene, could you activate the tsunami wave device that we just installed last week, anytime soon?!!

"I'm trying, my lord! But I need another five minutes to install the wave device remote program to work at the shark jet launcher!!".

Hearing the news, he pressed the button for intercom communication and ordered his direct subordinates, four of his generals responsible for the ground fight from every direction, " Attention all generals, attacked from every corner and every direction non-stop for five minutes!".

"Copy that, Leader!", four of his generals answered in unison.

After five minutes...

"Now!". Eugene pressed the button to activate the tsunami wave and the five boats crashed into each other while going under.

But one missile escape from one of the enemy boats toward the shark jet...

Unaware due to their happiness of the sinking Warships and winning the war in only the duration of 30 minutes, no one saw the sneaky missile attack toward the shark jet but her.

"No!!!, Felicia Lee screamed. Looking at the speed of the missile, there is no way Alex Lee and his companion could escape from the impact.

Without thinking of the consequence, she was speeding up while turning her wheel in 90 degrees to the right to use herself as a sacrificial lamb...

The impact from her flying pod is enough to swirl Alex Lee jet away from the missile direction but not enough to cause a big accident on the shark jet since right away the much bigger and stronger jet was stabilized right after the momentum.

However, Felicia Lee's flying pod was crashing down, she escaped by ejected her seat before the loud explosion. However, the black smoke from the impact of the missile and her flying pod prevented many onlookers to see that she was safe and sound by the parachute under the chair.

At the same moment, he finally realized that he was saved by his wife with her life by a thread of hair, Alex Lee screamed painfully when he saw the pink flying pod exploded from the rear window of the shark jet. "Noooo!!! What do you do, imbecile woman?!!!"

He didn't need any saving, the shark jet also has parachute embedded under the chairs. But due to the black smoke from the destruction of their enemy warships, they didn't see the missile coming at them. Indeed, his wife had saved his and Eugene's lives.

But at what cost?

He lost his beloved wife and his child to be just in a blink of an eye....

He was grieving and screaming in a wrenched agony...

Eugene looked at his warlord with a painful expression. This is the first time, that the cold and mighty warlord showed his emotional distress in front of him.

Uncontrollably, he followed suit on his warlord agony. Right after he landed the shark jet near the beach, he left his warlord in privacy.

They won the war and escape death at the price of his warlord beloved wife and child to be. This is just not right.

Meanwhile, Felicia Lee landed a couple of miles away from the shark jet. Agent 003 who had followed her closely was out from his pod with a grim look. "Madam! You shocked me to death! I thought we lost you! Master will definitely behead me in public if something befalls you! Please, for the sake of my weak heart, don't ever do this dangerous stunt anymore! For the same of master Alex and your unborn baby!!".

Detangling his master wife from the parachute robes and seatbelt, he finally able to exhale his breath in relief finding that his master wife was safe and unharmed.

"Let's leave now! Master probably worry about you, madam!!". In an instant, they left the unoccupied area near the shore cliff.

Crying while shaking, Alex Lee didn't realize when Felicia Lee opened his door and gave him a hug. While Eugene Acker looked at his warlord wife in disbelief. What a happy outcome!!! His warlord pregnant wife is still alive!!!

"Hubby? Are you hurt? Why are you crying?!".

Lifting his head in a trance, thinking that he must be under the hallucinating effect of grievousness, he looked blankly.

But when she released him from the seat belt and pulled him out from his seat...

Wiping his tears by giving him a peck on his teary face.

That's when he realized...

She is still alive and unharmed.

The warm breath of her is not his imagination...

Felicia Lee, his foxy wife is alive.

Alex Lee was screaming inwardly in happiness at the realization that his beloved woman is safe and sound but outwardly he coldly stared at the cruel woman that had almost caused his instantaneous dead from grieving her death.

With mixed feeling he glared at the smudged face of his unruly wife and throwing her on his shoulder, he growled at one of his general that stood nearby to see the dramatic show. "Take us home, general Ace!!".

Complied with the powerful warlord order, General Ace drove them back using the spacious military truck of 20 people occupancy with only two passengers as cargo.

Unwilling to talk for he still shaking in fear, Alex Lee bit his wife's shoulder not too deep but enough to punish her.

Cringed at the biting sensation, she yowled, " Ouch! What are you doing, hubby?!! Alex Lee, Stop this instead, please!"

Ignoring his wife plea, he continued to bit her other shoulder. However, this time more gently, thus instead of a screaming voice, she was groaning in a heat of passion.

Looking deeply at her mesmerizing eyes to seek for her soul within, Alex Lee gave up to the temptation, instead of punishing her, he rewarded her with a deep kiss.

Biting her lips playfully while hugging her tightly, he Sucked the life out from her mouth.

Unable to breathe, she nudged him away.

"Hubby, I can't breathe!"

Letting her go while taking a mouthful of air inside his lung, he exclaimed," Felicia Lee, remember this... you are not allowed to die before me! Or I would imprison you for eternity, in the next life and the next life after, I would be your overprotective husband! You will live inside a gold cage forever! If you are unwilling of this fate, don't use your life as a sacrificial lamb for my life ever again!".

Surprise at his husband weird way to profess his love, Felicia Lee replied in anguish, " B-But..., I can't stand seeing you die in front of me!! I already lost our son for not being able to protect him, I can't lose you too! I am willing to protect you with my life!!"

Furrowing his brows in disbelief while hearing her squeaky voice of great emotional distress, Alex Lee calmly said," It's not only your own life, even though it's only a week old, you have another life inside of you! Do you want us to lose another child again?".

Stunned by the realization of her recent dangerous stunt that she pulled out to save her husband at the cost of her unborn baby, she cried out passionately," I-I am sorry, hubby! I didn't think straight! Please, forgive me!!".

Pulling his beloved woman into his embrace while wincing the last drop of his tears away, he wailed," Don't ever do this to me anymore! I am the warlord in the family! Let me take care of our enemy! Please trust me, my love!!".

"A-Alright! Make sure you exterminated all the roots of our enemy and be really really safe! If you die before me, I would definitely marry another person to replace you! So you better not die before me!!"

Grunting wildly with jealousy at the thought that someone else will marry her if he dies before her, he exclaimed hoarsely," You dare? I told you... you will be my one and only wife for eternity, visa versa! So... When we will die, let's die together in a natural cause!!".

Felicia Lee laughed in a cute snort at the ridiculous last statement, but happily, she hugged her husband in a possessive manner.

Being...

She also wanted him to be only her husband for eternity.

As a matter of fact...

Both of them shamelessly crazy in love...
