Chapter 31: Camilla watch out! (2)

This chapter is told from Damian's perspective:

As soon as the carriage stopped abruptly, I watched Camilla fall onto Ryan. My eyes were blazing fire. I felt like I could shoot someone down with my eyes. But why would I be feeling like this? Even when I was with Eveline, I never felt like this. What is this feeling?

However, I felt that my anger was being reduced after when Camilla got off Ryan. However, it I felt that my anger grew again when Camilla fell onto Ryan. If only I was the one sitting, there. Then she wouldn't fall onto a random man. If only I could predict this ahead of time. What exactly am I thinking about? If Princess Camilla fall in love with someone else isn't that a good thing? That way I won't be disturbed me and Eveline. This a good thing. Maybe I should push Camilla towards Ryan. Then I'll be free of any worry.

Camilla, what are you doing now? Why are you covering your hair? Camilla, what are you planning to do? I and Ryan looked at each other and hurried to follow her. As I got nearer to the bandit, I noticed that he looked familiar. The wait isn't this the vice general? Why would he be here? I don't remember meeting him here in my first life. I think I first saw him when he was training in the grand duke's mansion, in his dukedom. Why is he here? Camilla seriously? Why are you saving this man? You don't even know him that well. What exactly happened to you in the palace that made you become a vicious woman who doesn't mind killing people to get what you want?

I watched her tell the General off and for a second there I could feel that she meant every word. I understood what she meant of course but, in this life, I hadn't suffered much. I had forgotten that Camilla grew up in that place. The strongest would survive and weaker ones would only be objected to the stronger people's torment. Perhaps it was very difficult for Camilla to become the top bully at the orphanage. She must've been bullied too. I never realised in my first life that you also grew up in that horrible place. You stayed longer than me as well. Maybe I misjudged in my past life. Wait for what? What the heck am I thinking? Did I misjudge her? No way. She nearly killed Eveline. There is no way I misjudged her. But why did back then she indirectly tell me she was going to kill Eveline? I still remember the words she said then: "Duke Damian perhaps you shouldn't be wasting your time with me, but looking out for your dearest Eveline. Who knows (during this time you've left her side) if something might have happened?" Back then I rushed back to the grand duke's mansion to find Eveline stuck in a blazing fire. When I rescued her out I believed it was Eveline who ordered someone to start the fire. If that was the case then why didn't she stall me longer but made me go back? Did she have a change of heart? No that could never be. Uhhh. This will forever remain a mystery as I'll make sure that Camilla would never be able to harm her.

I didn't realise that during the time I was daydreaming Camilla had finished her speech. As she walked away, I turned my head to look at the grand duke to say something. However, at that moment, I saw a silver sword striking Camilla. The next moment I heard Ryan shout, "Camilla watch out,". I watched as Camilla cross her arm around her head and at this moment a blue light shone out. Ryan who was the closest to Camilla immediately rushed towards her side. However, she was floating in the air with a see-through liquid. surrounding her. This blue liquid was crisscrossed in the middle where her heart was. I rushed towards Ryan along with the grand duke as we tried to pull Camilla back onto the ground. However, it was to no luck. There seemed to be a strange force keeping everyone from touching Camilla. The grand duke saw that we couldn't do anything to bring Camilla down, so he turned to look at the butler. When the blue resided the grand duke immediately ordered his men to capture the assassin. However, the man bit his tongue and committed suicide. The butler shook his head and the grand duke signed. The general walked up towards the grand duke and asked, "Who exactly is that lady? Why are you so worried about her? You even let her do what she wants,". At that moment a strong wind blew by, and Camilla's cloak's hood flew off. It revealed the hair that Camilla was trying to hide. The general gasped when she saw her hair. He looked at the grand duke and muttered, "The lost princess?". The Grand Duke nodded, looked around and announced "Whatever you see or hear now, everything would be forgotten after we enter the capital. Or else you might not be able to keep your head. Understand?" Everyone around him looked terrified and nodded. At this moment, the liquid surrounding Camilla had dissolved. Ryan quickly shouted this, and all of our attention was turned toward her. When she softly landed on the ground, she quickly opened her eyes and muttered "what happened?"
