let us live!

One of the natives hit Noah on the head with a wooden board from behind. He fell to the ground. He looked here and there, his head in dizziness., could not keep his eyes open; everything was blurry. He saw a faint image of Cordelia; she was struggling to wriggle out of a man's arms. She was almost free before two other men came to help and dragged Cordelia away. Noah felt a crowd lifted him from the ground. He opened his mouth to shout, but only a groan came out of it, and a moment later, it was dark everywhere.

In the Mainland, Laura and Robert got back to the castle after eating food. Robert and Brishen wanted in the garden angry, and furious as Laura saw them opened her arm to hug the King Arthur took a step back, a slight frown appeared on his face.

Arthur " Where have you been?"

Laura smirked, " Since when I should answer you?"

Arthur " Since, I'm your kind, and YOU DO EVERYTHING TO SCREW US !"

Laura widened her eyes in surprise. Arthur has never shouted at her before!

Brishen cleared his throat held Arthur's arm as a sign to calm down before making Laura angry.

Laura, " look, child, I can remove you as simple as I put you under the throne."

She glanced over st Brishen from the corner of her eyes the looked back at Arthur with a death glare.

Laura, " I advice you to spend less time with him," she raised an eyebrow. As she was drunk, she stumbled while talking. Robert held her arm so that she wouldn't fell.

Brishen pushed Robert away angrily, "What did you do to her"

Arthur pointed at a maid who was standing there to help the queen to stand on her feet.

Robert " Nothing, Laura believes that either no drink or when you do drink until you throw up," he shrugged, as Laura was admitting him with a loud chuckle.

Arthur let out a loud sigh, " That's why you should give her any drinks.never!"

Laura smirked, " Why do you care so much about a dead woman?"

Arthur raised an eyebrow. "Mother! you are not dead when you can breathe!"

Brishen sighed, glared into Robert's eyes " We are here for something else."

Robert got nervous " What is it ?" he said in a curious tone, as queen was pretending she is fine and listening.

Arthur" You threaten a man tonight."

Robert nodded, " I did, but I didn't mean it! tell your spies to let me go!"

Laura laughed, stroked Robert's cheek gently " Oh, you wild boy," she giggled. Arthur and Brishen sighed.

Arthur "His wife came to the court, at first they wouldn't let her in, but she begged, cried and kept shrieking! I was in the training ground as I heard her, so I went to see what is wrong with the woman, and you know what she said?"

Brishen sighed and interrupted the king's sentence, " He hanged himself, cause you wanted something he was too scared to do!" he snapped.

Laura wriggles out of the maid's arms, hugged Robbert drunkenly.

Laura, " oh, Robert! Let them go; both of them are Psycho," she pouted, buried her face in his chest. Brishen grabbed her arms to pull her out of Robert's arms.

Brishen " just hope that she wouldn't notice this!" he stepped closer to Robert's ear and whispered, "It will be bad, horrible."

Robert furrows his brows," so he is dead," he repeated, rubbed his forehead.

Arthur, " you should have told me what were you about to do!" he snapped.

Laura held her head, wrapped her arms around Brishen's neck as he took her on his arms to carry her in. Arthur gave Robert a death glare " Stop childish games to attract her attention, you are old enough to be a little bit wise!" he followed his brother. Let Robert stand in the yard alone.

In the south, Cordelia and Noah were tied to a large wooden pole, Noah was still unconscious, but Cordelia was screaming and trying to save them both without using magic.

Cordelia "Please! We came to hear to ask your king for help!we are not your enemy!" she widens her eyes when Hanna stepped closer. With a torch in her hand and a selfish and vengeful face, she stepped forward and stared at Cordelia with a grin.

Hanna, " you weak men and women don't have anything but trouble for the enormous king dome of the south."

Cordelia " We were heading to the vague to ask for help! But now that we are here, I implore you to listen to us. We won't harm you, I promise."

Hannah listened to Cordelia in complete disbelief, then bent down to light the sticks around Cordelia and Noah with a torch in her hand. The heat of the fire and the smell of smock made Noah awake. He widened his eyes at this and began to blow the fire around them.

Cordelia glared at him that he would not stop being stupid even at the time of death! She tried to use all her energy to untie the rope, but she was still weak! sHe begged for their release but got nothing but some mockery.

The fire ignited and engulfed both of them. Cordelia unconsciously leaned on the pillar and prepared to die. In comparison, Noah whistled and did not care to be burned. The smell of meat pervaded the plains. And the people who were assured of their death were dispersed from there. The ropes burned and opened, the little girl with her black, smoky body and closed eyes were lying on the hill of ash, Noah was lying beside her, smiling softly, as if he was dreaming.

After a few hours, Noah opened his eyes started to cough; he glanced over at Cordelia in surprise.

Noah, " Oh damn, I forgot she isn't a proper beast!" he muttered under his lips.

He dragged Cordelia on the ground as he was holding her legs. Finally, He found a large stick and used it to dig the ground. As his hands were trembling and sweat coated his forehead, he felt that in an empty hole in his chest, where his heart should be, was pounding with pain.

Noah, " ahh, come on, Noah! You are a beast you don't have heart," he reminded himself as he fought his tears back.

He made a small grave for Cordelia and laid her in it. Everything was ready for the sun to grief. The sky turned its hue to red with tiny rays of orange here and there. A deadly silence filled the ground and the atmosphere. Sun started to hide between mountains and sneaked out before it could tolerate Noah's tears.

Noah was crying above the girl's head as she opened her blue eyes with a small cough and stared at him. For a moment of surprise and shock, she widened her eyes staring at Noah, who was sitting and crying his eyes out above her head, suddenly she started to laugh. She could help to not laugh at Noah's sadness! How can a beast cry!

Noah furrowed hid brows as he noticed she is alive, grabbed her arm almost violently, and dragged her out of the grave.

"Don't you dare laugh at me!" he protested as Cordelia laughed so hard that tears ran from her eyes onto her chin. Noah groaned, rolled his eyes.

Noah, " you are mean."

Cordelia shook her head " We didn't die?" she asked, surprised.

Noah pouted, " Beasts wouldn't burn! We are made of fire, but I doubt why you stayed alive," he rubbed his chin, thinking, Cordelia slapped him stubbornly.

Cordelia " You thought I might die, and you let that happen!"

Noah shrugged, " anyone would die someday anyway," he chuckled.

Cordelia lifted her arm to slap him again. Noah grabbed her arm in the air, pinned it against her back, gazed into her eyes.

Noah, "You have half of my blood, so I assumed you wouldn't get hurt, and we get free of those mad people," he smirked. Cordelia felt his breath fanning on her face, tried to ignore it, and kept giving him a stern glare.

Cordelia, " still you weren't sure that I would stay alive! you'll pay for this," she threatened him.

Noah nodded, " still, you need something to wear," he pouted innocently, pointed at Her naked body.

She blushed at this looked here and there. Noha jumped on the tree, made a little dress with leaves, and handed it to Cordelia. She wore it as she didn't have any more options.

Cordelia "it's not bad, but we did nothing and time flies" she bit her lower lip.

Noah nodded, " we will. Come, we should find the castle this time. We will be more careful.

Cordelia sighed, and they started to walk through the green lands to find a city or someone who knows where the king is.

In the Castel, Laura woke up with a headache; a splitting headache was all she could feel. Countless information and memories overwhelmed her brain. And at the same time, .a voice rang int her ears.

"He is dead! He hanged himself, he is dead," the queen shrieked at this made all the Castel tremble in fear as Brishen glanced at Robert mockingly.

Brishen, " I think she needs answers. I would be hurry if I were you," he smirked. Robert nodded and ran onto the queen's room.....
