Attack 15

The oncoming force of soldiers all froze on the spot. Right now all eyes were on Leo and Kil facing each other. No one dared to make a move. Lia couldn't trust her eyes. Leo was really here to help her.

As Kil and Leo stared at each other, another figure approached Lia, "Are you alright?"

Seeing Noel's worried face, Lia was glad he was alright. She nodded trying to hide her wounds but Noel stopped her, "Don't. Focus on healing."

Lia sat on the ground, barely able to gain strength when her body was enveloped by something soft. Noel held her in his arms as the centre of attention was the heated tension between the two captains.

"C-Captain Leo," one of the soldiers who stopped behind Kil spoke up.

"Retreat," Leo's cold stare made the soldiers fall back.

"Leo, what's the meaning?" Kil's eyes flashed. The situation was ambiguous. Kil didn't believe that Leo would betray Min but why was he shielding the hidden families?
