Huge Dragons

One of the villagers pulled my hair. He brought a small knife and pointed it at me. I managed to dodge, but the knife scratched my cheek until it was bleeding. When I want to fight back. A big voice sounded from inside the cell. Everyone stopped in their tracks then looked confused.

"Edgar?!"

The two of them stare at each other. Feeling strange for a while. The whole cave swayed and wanted to destroyed. She felt a strong force between Edgar and tries to get closer to him. She trying to get him out of the cell. Andreas tries to stop her, but Adeline takes out her sword and points it at him.

I ran towards Edgar with the scary aura surrounding him. I'm trying to calm the emotions inside him. 

"Come on! Edgar! The cave is about to destroyed! We have got to get out of here."

Pulling Edgar hand out of the cave. But first I had to untie the iron ties from his hands, feet, and neck.

"How can I open it?"

When Adeline wanted to open it, instantly the iron handcuffs shattered by themselves. Edgar took Adeline hand and hugged her. Adeline was surprised about his reaction, and Edgar suddenly took out a wing from behind his body.

I caught sight of his dark gray wings and Edgar turning like a huges dragon. I didn't have time to get out of the cave. Edgar immediately gave me a lift and then flew through the upper cave wall.

"Wow..."

On the other hand, Erwin and Ryan look for Adeline in the crowd.

"Did you find it?"

"No." Said Erwin.

Someone came out of the cave. He was Andreas. Erwin and Ryan came up to him and asked where Adeline was. Andreas lost track of her in the cave.

What? She still on the cave?

"MISS LAWRENCE! ..."

Erwin called her name, as soon as an animal came out of the cave. In the form of a grayish white dragon.

"IT'S A DRAGON!"

The villagers were terrified by the dragon. Run for cover themself. Erwin, Andreas, and Ryan prepare their weapons to fight the dragon. When it wanted to attack, the dragon descended and lowered Adeline who was riding on its back.

Erwin immediately headed towards her and then saw the her situation. While Andreas and Ryan followed him from behind.

"Are you okay?!" Asked Ryan.

"I'm fine. Don't need to worry."

Edgar who was in the form of a dragon just saw at them closely. Edgar suddenly changes his form back to his original form. The villagers who watched him from a distance began to accuse him. They started protesting again and then wanted to arrest Edgar.

Andreas protects Edgar from the villagers. At the same time, Adeline starts talking to them with her big voice

"Don't let you come near Edgar. If you want to catch him, you have to get past us first!" Adeline stared hard.

"You have no connection with our village. You adventurers better not interfere."

"Ouh?"

Adeline stood up and coldly at the village chief. Pulled out her sword and then quickly aimed the sword at his neck using magic. The village chief fell, unable to stand up. 

"You freaky adventurers."

After a grueling incident. They were forced to leave the village. The plan to find Edgar was also finished. Adeline also feels angry in the village which makes her sick. By buying one horse and continued on their way back to the capital.

Adeline was in the front with Edgar in the same horse. He couldn't ride a horse, so she offered to ride a horse with her. Several hours after continuing. They don't talk each other. Just silent, the atmosphere became awkward because of it.

I'm a little bit disappointed because of the villagers. Luckily for them, I still have patience and kindness.

"Mi..Miss..?"

"Huh...?"

Earlier he called me? I heard that right? After seeing his face. He seemed to force himself to speak. I forbid him to push himself.

"There's no need to rush."

Edgar only smiled warmly at her after hearing what Adeline said.

Today is so....I haven't had time to rest. I forgot....I forgot the situation.

"Miss Adeline?!" Said Andreas and Ryan.

"Miss Lawrence?!"

Adeline fell off her horse. Edgar immediately got off his horse and saw the condition on the ground as if she was in pain.

"Ha ... Ha ... Ha ..." She was breathing hard.

Andreas remembered something after seeing Adeline. He forgot about Adeline weakened state.

"Damn, the cure is on the other horse."

"What happened?!" Ryan said frantically.

"I'll explain late. Now, give her a little water."

Follow Andreas words. He ordered Adeline to breathe slowly. Ryan came with water in his hand and then Andreas ordered her to drink the water slowly. Her condition looks better, until Andreas gives a cloth in his mouth to vomit something.

"Blood?" Said Erwin.

"Are you alright? I'm sorry miss. I didn't notice."

They rested in the forest for a while. Edgar continued to look at the sleeping Adeline. Meanwhile, Erwin, Andreas, and Ryan were having a discussion in front of a campfire.

"What does all this mean? Andreas." Ryan seriously asked him.

"Miss Adeline has a weak body. I almost forgot something because of the recent incident. She shouldn't be late to take the medicine. But, it was in the horse that ran away against the wild boar."

"Thank God she survived. Once you get to the capital. You'd better check with a doctor. For the good of Miss Lawrence."

After Erwin said that. The tings became quite as usual. They did not talk to and were lost in thoughts of each other.

I can't believe that Miss Adeline has such a weak body. Her attitude when I was with me. What I saw she was a strong woman. Therefore I gave my body and soul to him. Hm...? what is Prince Erwin thinking right now?

Long night, Erwin took turns guarding. He continued to stare at Adeline then headed towards her and sat beside her. Seeing her fast asleep and then touched her strand of long white hair.

"Hm..Erwin."

Adeline accidentally just called his name asleep. Erwin only saw her then whispered in her ear. "Sleep well, Adeline."

The sun began to show itself, Erwin got up to his horse as if preparing something.

"Hey, you."

Ryan called him when Erwin wanted to get on his horse.

"I have to go. It's nice to spend time with you."

"I've never had the pleasure of spending time with you."

I just smiled and then left Ryan quickly. I have no business with them anymore. I've seen a lot of things about her.

"I hope we can meet again, Adeline Von Lawrence"
