Chapter 179: Hold On Tight Princess
DAHLIA POV
The whole place grew silent at my command. The only sound that could be heard was that of the wind blowing harshly in my face as if trying to warn me to get back in line. But I already spoke up and it may not have been the brightest idea based on the way everyone was staring at me. The man dragging the girl too eyed me up and down, a hard look on his face as if daring me to say that again. I should have kept my head low, which would have been the logical thing to do but there was no way that I was going to allow him to beat a child.
I stepped forward, "Let her go!"
The soldier released a loud laughter, before he paused and stared at me. "So wait, you are serious?" He asked as he stared at me. "Oh gods above, you are serious!" The soldier answered his own question when I didn’t response.
Snorting, he grabbed the girl and shoved her backwards. The girl fell face into the snow before she stood up and scrambled away from the soldier. She disappeared into the crowd that had gathered leaving me alone to face the soldier.
"Grab her!" He pointed at me.
Two soldiers wasted no time in grabbing me and shoving me to the ground in front of the soldier. I didn’t bother to put up much of a fight as I collapsed into the snow. I showed submission but I still glared at the soldier who lifted my head with the handle of his whip.
"Is there any reason you decided to put yourself danger by being stupid?" He asked me.
I shrugged in response as I stared at him, "Is there any reason you decide to beat a little girl for no reason or do you just have a fetish for things like that?"
