Just as I began to telan, a familiar voice shattered the calm.
Arta stormed over, her face twisted with fury,
She grabbed my arm, her nails digging into my skin as she spat mut her accmation.
Tizabeth, what are you trying to do? Why can’t you leave Leo abona?”
Her cuire was shrill, desperate, but before I could respond, something caught my attention.
The leaves of the nearby shrubs runtled–annual soul, given that the wind had stilled
I temed, my senses heightened as I scanned the terrace for any signs of danger.
And then, it happened.
A shadowy figure burst from the greenery, a weapon glinting in the dim light as it hurtled toward un
Time seemed to slow as the figure closed in, his intent clear–he was aiming for Arla and me.
Instinctively, 1 braced myself for the inevitable pain, expecting Leo to shield Aria, to leave me to fend for myself.

The assassin recovered quickly, lunging again, and this time, Leo met him head–on.

Aria, who had been frozen in shock, finally snapped out of her stupor.
She stumbled backward, cunching a minor wound on her arm, but her eyes burned with anger.
“This is your fault!” she screamed at me, her voice laced with bitterness. “You’re nothing but a burden, always needing protection!”
Her words stang, but I didn’t have time to respond.
The sound of approaching
ing footsteps alerted me to more danger. Leo, already bleeding and strained, shouted.
“Stay alert! There could be more of them!”
And he was right.
