One Big Mistake

[ FLASHBACK ]

After giving Alaric the amulet, Eve closed her eyes. She followed his instructions. 

'Please be safe,' Eve murmured in her mind, praying for Alaric's protection.

Eve didn't know what was happening in her surroundings. But she could hear the sound of swords clashing along with someone's groans.

Even though her eyes were closed, she could imagine that Alaric was fighting those four men so hard. 

Despite the difference in their physical builds, Alaric had an advantage. He was fast and agile. He could easily block and avoid their attacks while launching a counterattack.

Eve could feel the sound of men falling to the ground. It did not take long before the sound of clashing swords disappeared.

She didn't know whether to stay still or just open her eyes. But she promised the young knight she wouldn't open her eyes unless he would say so.
