I don't understand how, when, or why I started caring for Rin. But I found myself not being able to sleep, waiting for his return.
He left the castle earlier today to curtail a rebellion. He hasn't been back though the night has fallen.
I ran towards the door when I heard it open, but I immediately stepped back. It is not Rin, I will be able to tell him from anyone right away, no matter how dark it might be.
A dagger was raised above me, the blade glistened in the dark, reflecting the moonlight that seeps through the windows.
I took one step back and closed my eyes when fear gripped my soul. There is nothing for me now but death.
In a split second, I heard the sound of something being forcefully crushed and the scream of someone in pain.
I opened my eyes and stared dumbfounded as I see my husband holding the wrist of the person who tried to kill me just a while ago.
