Chapter 204: Rafael’s lover (1)
Rafael pulled Annalise closer and rested his head on her shoulder. He had seen the knights play with around and dance with death, but it was never as stressful as seeing Annalise enjoy someone trying to stab her with a knife.
"I’m sorry," Annalise apologised once more. She wanted to have fun and would do this all again if they could go back to Olivia approaching her, but she couldn’t stop feeling sorry for Rafael.
It was like the times she caused her father or Thomas to worry, but she felt more guilty even though it was a small fight with a knife. Her father would never worry if he saw her in a fight with a tiny little knife. He was always more concerned for the other person and he would then pick her up, hold her over his shoulder, and take her somewhere else to not fight.
She still didn’t think it was worth getting upset over, but she apologised because Rafael was upset about it. Even though he was aware that she knew how to use a sword, he did not know the full extent of how she could defend herself. There was a lot more to her that he had not seen.
Rafael might find it hard to believe, but she knew when to quit. She knew when the situation was too dangerous and she had to call for help. Annalise liked her life to be so foolish to end it so soon.
"From now on, I won’t enjoy fighting anyone in front of you. Not that we can call that a fight," Annalise muttered. She was still annoyed that the one fight she had in such a long time was disappointing.
Where was the blood and rolling in the grass to stop a knife from coming close to your face? Where was the excitement or the person who would give her a challenge?
"Annalise, that does not make it any better," Rafael said.
"Maybe it is time you stop liking me since I will always be chasing the thrill from fighting. That was my one time to have fun and you ended it before it could start. Rafael," Annalise said, looking behind him at where their captive was crawling away like a little worm. "She is trying to get away. You know, this problem would have been long solved if you had let me keep a snake in my room like a guard dog."
