Chapter 199: Selfless
REAGAN POV
Dahlia held on to me tightly and I could feel her literally trembling in my arms. She had claimed he had found us and I really wanted to know who the hell he was. Nikolai darted towards us with an urgent look on his face as he unsheathed his sword.
"We are surrounded!" He yelled at me.
Well, fuck! I cursed still holding on to Dahlia who was still clutching on to me tighter, still shivering. I wrapped my hand around her to steady her but she still continued to shake and she trembled even more when all of a sudden we heard a loud voice.
"Gentlemen, it would appear we have an usual visitor in our midst!" The voice called out.
A quick look showed a man standing on a tower, his cloak billowing behind him as he stood with a dozen armies all of them holding arrows ready to fire. One of them shot the arrow at me but I was quick to move out of the way just in time. I held Dahlia closer to me just as the arrow struck the wall with a loud thud. It turns out that they were going to kill us if we tried to take Dahlia out of this place.
"They are trying to kill us." Nikolai yelled out just as the archers on the wall released a bunch of arrows that hit the wall where we hid.
"You think?" I asked him as the archers rained down more arrows at us.
I peeked behind me, my gaze focusing on the figure on the high tower. He stood with his hand folded behind him and there was no denying the authority he had. I glanced back at Dahlia who held me tightly and she was so stiff that I thought she wasn’t breathing.
This must be him then, the person who hurt her!
"Do you know who I am?" I roared out.
