Reborn princess: I will change my ill-fate - 170 chapter 170. her plan

He cautiously moved forward, trying to figure out who were inside his cave. His equipment, that is his bow and arrows with him, on his back and side. He readied his bow, ready to face any attack or attack the other party, if he has to protect someone.

He slowly approached the entrance of the cave and tried to look inside. Despite being dark and having an ominous look to it, the cave was well lit with sunlight. The man peeked inside from side, his back firmly pressed to the outer wall of the cave.

His eyes widened when he saw the scene inside. Some men were cornering a girl. They all seemed to be enjoying the scene throughly as they were all laughing and the poor girl was screaming for them leave her and shaking her head constantly, as if to get rid of something.

Looking closely, he understood the girl was under some kind of drug. The man recognized the effects of drug, because his family worked with herbalists and though, he was not experienced he knew a thing or two about the drugs. And, he surely can recognise and know the effects of some drugs, as he too gathered few drugs in this wild forest to sell them to doctors in the village.

When, the weight of the scene registered in his mind, the only thought revolving inside his head, was to save the girl. But, he has to do something to save her and can’t directly jump into the fires pit, as he saw they could outnumber him in means of strength and they all seemed well trained.

Black pawns came with full preparations unlike all other plans they executed. They wouldn’t have come this prepared if it’s only to attack a princess, but what they heard was, the son of Duke household, Felix Rutz was also joining the trip, which made them think the special knights from Rutz house might also join for his safety issues, making them increase their numbers in terms of strength, just in case to ensure their win. However, they were fooled at the end and Felix didn’t tag along with his sister.

He looked back to check up on his weapons and found only two arrows and a dagger that he carries in his waistband for his security. He would not be able to take down all of them, but at least he could create an outlet and let the girl escape their clutches.

His brain quickly analysed the positions of the guards. He is a hunter and he knew where and when to attack on anyone, whether it be animals or humans.

He saw five of the them cornering her, a young guy, maybe in his early twenties sitting on the rock and seemed enjoying the scene in front of his eyes, and nearly twenty or so men conquering his cave, his home.

His eyes landed on a certain black pawn, who seemed a little distracted about some other matter, which makes a perfect opportunity for the hunter to throw a shot, as the black pawn is inattentive about his surroundings and let his guard off. The hunter’s eyes fixated on that black pawn.

Taking his bow and fixing an arrow, he aimed for one of  the black pawn. This is either a win or a lose, he can’t take the risk of losing, so he must definitely shoot his enemy and save the lady, minding he got limited handy weapons, while he isn’t even a match to them physically.

The hunter cautiously aimed his target, his eyes only seeing it’s target, forgetting about it’s surroundings and the rest of the world, only concentrating on the work in the hands at the moment.

Drawing his bow, he finally released the arrow.

Swish~

In a lightening speed, the arrow travelled inside the cave and directly stuck to the black pawns head.

” The hell? Attack. We are being attacked, ” A black pawn screamed in shock, horrified at the sight present before his eyes.

The black pawns who were forcing themselves on Aeinshia stopped their actions and looked into the commotion.

Everyone took there by surprise, and immediately turned around to check who dared to kill their troopmate in their boundary, while the injured black pawn didn’t say anything and simply limped on the floor, not uttering a single word of pain.

The nearest black pawn to him went to check him. Nearing his hand to take down the pulse of the black pawn’s, he held his wrist and observed his pulse is very weak. Since the arrow hit his head, it must have injured some fatal point and there isn’t much time for the news arrival of his death.

” He can’t make it long, ” The black pawn, who checked the pulse announced to Nathan, to which Nathan simply replied by nodding his head.

Nathan turned around and saw a single man, standing there, outside the cave, as if challenging them to come and fight with him. A hand to hand match to be more precise.

Turning around, he ordered his other men, ” Kill that son of a b*tch and make him kneel in front of me, ” He ordered, his voice echoed throughout the cave.

The black pawns were filled with rage. This is the second kill they witnessed today, while two were injured heavily. They just can’t slide these events off. The princess is however in their hands, so now, they need to take care of the man, who appeared out of nowhere, knocking at the death door himself.

The hunter saw them approaching him, just when two of them were five feet near, he took a pouch and threw something over them.

The black pawns didn’t think much about it and proceeded forward to catch him, while he immediately went far away from their reach. Soon, not even after 10 seconds, those two black pawns began to feel itchy all over their body.

They started to scratch, as they couldn’t help it. They halted their tracks and scratched the itchy parts repeatedly.

The hunter smirked at them, which didn’t go unnoticed by Nathan.

Just when other black pawns were beginning to catch him and help their brothers, Nathan stopped them from moving. Soon enough, the whole surroundings began to fill with a weird medicinal smell. It’s the smell of poisonous grass.

” Don’t touch them. It’s poisonous grass. Wait till he makes the moves. We still don’t know what he got, ” Nathan ordered, fully aware of the effects of poisonous grass. This is the plant which caused itchiness and no other plant is as strong as this specific plant in its effects. Nathan was stupified to find this in this forest, in the hands of a hunter.

While all other black pawns were having a hard time to deal with a single hunter, the only black pawn, whose pride was hurt and got humiliated in front of his brothers didn’t want to leave Aeinshia.

When his fellow brothers were busy making tactics and tackles on how to attack a certain person, his only interest was on how to take down this princess who gave him no face to show in future. For him to be able to get respect, he need to teach her a lesson. That’s the only thing which rang in his brain.

Well he is raging in fumes, Aeinshia clutched her hands, her finger nails digging inside her flesh, trying to get back her senses. Earlier, she noticed, pain is creating her to think straightly, since she didn’t get the dagger, she could only use her sharp and long nails to it’s advantage. And just as she thought, that idea indeed worked and gave some sense to get brain. She understood, someone is helping her and it is her time to escape now.

Without much thought, the black pawn marched forward, grabbing her neck, he inserted all his force in his hold and didn’t let her go no matter how much she struggled, ” You b*tch. How dare you to spit on me. I will show you what it means to mess with me now. You dare to call me dog. Then let me show you what it feels to get bit by a dog now. I will show you living hell, and that’s a promise, dear royal princess.”
