Trapped In Hisstory - Chapter 189

It was possible that she was no ordinary child. ‘Could the little girl be a member of the Animalia Clan?’ he thought, but he shook his head as a response to his own question. It was impossible. Animalians were annihilated, it was impossible for an infant to survive, nor a pregnant one.

Even so, there was an atmosphere around Teri that one could tell is not normal. Alec had that feeling ever since he and the Crown Prince met her in the library, and his feelings were never wrong.

He looked around and noticed that they were far from the glasshouse, their speed took them to the other side of the palace, and there were no people around the place.

“Are you sure you are going to leave the two princes alone, Sir knight?”

He did not move when he heard a voice. It was coming from behind him, and from above. After a few seconds, he slowly turned around and the rare black hair dancing with the blowing wind came to sight.

It was Teri, the little girl, standing on the roof of the palace’s side pathway. She was looking down at the Valorian Knight while the latter’s gaze was fixated on the flowing hair that was longer than the height of the girl.

“You didn’t seem to hear my words, Sir knight.” The little girl said with a smile and sat down on the roof.

Alec looked back at the direction of the glasshouse and returned his gaze to Teri. “My master is safe with the Canopus Prince.”

Teri smiled, “But is it not your duty to be by his side at all times?”

“It is my duty to follow his orders,” Alec emphasized, “And he ordered to get you, so I must.”

The little girl’s smile vanished but it returned after a few seconds, “Just from seeing your eyes, I could tell you really do not like me. Right, Sir knight?”

Alec let out a snort, he could still remember the time at the library.

“Best if you leave His Highness alone, from whatever your motive is from approaching him.” Alec said.

“You two are the ones who approached me,” Teri said in return.

“You showed yourself on purpose for us to approach you.”

“And yet, in the end, you two still approached me.”

Alec raised his sword and pointed it once again to her face. “How cruel. Do you have no pity for this poor child you are pointing at?” she asked with a cracking voice, as if she was on the verge of crying. “How scary, how will the Goddess bless you if you have this kind of personality!” she whined.

Alec stared at her with empty eyes. “I believe in no Goddess.”

The two of them stared at each other in silence, right before Teri laughed. She put her hand on her mouth, preventing another chuckle from coming out as she looked at the knight, amused.

“You do not believe in the Goddess yet you all use her to greet your Royalties with the wish of them being blessed,” she muttered and the tone of her voice slowly changed. “How cute.”

Her voice changed and the thin and little voice of hers vanished, looking at the knight with her amused smile. The Valorian Knight suddenly stepped away, feeling a strong aura. At that point, he knew that there was danger in being near the little girl.

~~~~~~~~~~

The acting of the little girl in front of the Crown Prince was enough to annoy him. But the strong aura that covered Teri still wouldn’t leave his mind.

‘Just who are you?’ Alec thought.

“Apologies, I cannot find anything about you to like.” The Valorian Knight responded and made Teri laugh.

“That kind of stings,” She muttered, “Well, not that you care.”

She stood up again and looked at the direction of the glasshouse with the corner of her lips forming into a smirk. “Sir Knight, you should hurry along now,” she muttered.

“You never know what could happen if someone from the royal family saw them in the glasshouse.” She said, The Valorian and the little girl’s eyes met and the latter shot him a playful gaze.

Alec was silently deciding whether to hurry back to the glasshouse or catch the little girl. “I will return to the glasshouse,” He said while looking Teri directly into her eyes, “But I will take you with me.” he added.

The Valorian’s speed beats that of the Hawk of Canopus and with a single jump, he was already in front of the little girl.

He was about to grab Teri but she raised her hand, palm facing the Valorian knight and he was surprised when his body froze. Alec couldn’t get near the little girl no matter how hard he tried to get near.

Alec was still in the air from his jump and he met Teri’s icy stare, “Move back down, child.”

‘Child?’

All of a sudden, there was a strong force pushing the knight back down. Before he could even fall, Alec landed down on his two feet and distanced himself from the little girl. “You—

Teri cut his words off, “There is no use in catching me, Sir knight. Best for you to go off on your way now.”

Alec did not utter a word and stared at the little girl above him, looking down at him. He was right, Teri was no ordinary young girl.

No child would have such a presence that of a high being. The aura she emits was nothing Alec has ever seen or felt. Just like the time at the library.

“The Crown Prince will meet me soon without even trying to find me. We will cross paths without the need of me being chased.” Teri said, “Have no worries of failing your master’s orders.”

Teri jumped down, “Tell this to Howard,”

“We will meet again.”
