--

She desperately looked between Hamon and the men, she called his name to alert him, however Hamon who was lost in the fight did not hear, as he slashed their throats ruthlessly. She called again, but he didn’t seem to hear or notice the bows being pointed at him.

Ara gritted her teeth, she threw her sword at one of the men who was about to release his arrow, and it struck his chest. Nevertheless, the rest of the men were still pointing their arrows at him, seeing the men were about to release their arrows, Ara made towards Hamon, her body moved instinctively before she could think, with her heart pounding in her ears as she willed her feet to move faster towards him.

Everything seemed to happen in a slow motion, as the men released their arrows, Ara was quick to stand in front of Hamon, and the arrows meant for him struck right through her chest, four arrows at the same time pierced her chest. Instantly she coughed out a mouthful of blood as her body went down the hill like a petal falling to the ground, however before she fell down the hill, her eyes met Hamon’s shocked ones.

"A-Ara..." His red eyes widened as time seemed to freeze. Eventually, Ara’s body crumbled down the small hill and she rolled to the ground in full force. She felt the burn in her chest increased double times more. She had been hit by an arrow in her past life, but not in the chest, this was the first time she felt this kind of excruciating pain.

Ara looked down at the arrows stuck in her chest and saw dark red blood flowing out of her. The arrows were poisonous...

She began to cough, and more blood spewed out of her mouth. Suddenly there was the roaring sounds of horses and a voice in the distance yelling, "Your Highness!" Just by hearing the voice she knew it was Oliver who had come leading the army. Relief washed over her.

Thank goodness! If she died here, at least Hamon would be saved. She could hear the battle between Hamon’s men and the assassins.

Hamon who stood frozen on the same spot jolted back and rushed towards where Ara had fallen, he hurriedly went on his knees and lifted her upper body to his thighs, his voice was shaky as he spoke, "A-Ara, You can’t leave me alone, please open your eyes...!"

Ara’s vision was blurry as she slowly opened her eyes, just the little movement of lifting her upper body seemed to make the pain intensify. she looked up at Hamon, she’d never seen him like this before, his hands were shaking as he held her, he looked as if he’d break down in tears, "Hamon..." She called as more blood tricked from the corner of her mouth.

"Hush, don’t talk. I am here, I’ll protect you..." His tears fell on her face, she felt her already painful heart torn to pieces just seeing him like this. She forced a smile, "D-don’t cry...I am still here..."

Despite Ara’s attempt to reassure him, his expression grew darker and darker as more tears rolled down his cheeks, "Hamon...please stop." She also cried out, "I...can’t hold on the pain any...more." The warm tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Ara..." He hugged her upper body to his chest more tightly, "Don’t say that, just hold on a bit, I’ll get you to the physician immediately." He assured as he was about to carry her, but Ara held his hand and shook her head as her face scrunched up in pain, "No, please stay...Don’t move me, it hurts..."

She had tried to honestly express her feelings, but danger threatened them before she was able to do so. She couldn’t help but think, somehow fate always seemed to treat her more harshly. She struggled to form the words she wanted to say,

"Hamon...I...don’t think I will survive this...But please, if...I die today, don’t let anything happen to my family..." Her heart squeezed at the thought of leaving all her loved ones behind; Anne, Henry, her father, Hamon...

"You won’t die, wife. Not on my watch, please let me take you_" she stopped him from completing his words by raising her hand to touch his cheek, he held the hand to support her, smearing some of her blood on his face.

She smiled sadly, "Hamon...I am sorry, we never got to have our children... but I want you to remember this..."

"Ara, stop it. You won’t die, we still have a lot of time to have our children and make a family of our own...You-you won’t die...I promise."

For the first time she witnessed Hamon crying, she’d never seen him look this broken before, and she hated that he was like this for her sake. He held her hand tightly in his. However, they both knew there was no way she could survive such an injury, the arrows were poisonous... She knew there was no way she’d live, she wanted him to know her feelings now. Maybe it was destined, maybe they were never meant to be together...

Ara coughed up more blood as she tried to speak, nevertheless she kept choking on her blood, but she forced her mouth to move as the world began to blur out, there were many things she wanted to tell him, but it seemed all she could say was, "I...love..." She couldn’t get to finish her words before the world began to fade, the voices of the soldiers sounded distant, she smiled as she breathed her last breath. Her hand slipped slowly down his cheek before her body went slack in his arms, with her eyes opened.

Everything froze at that moment, except for the gentle breeze blowing his silver hair, Hamon shook her body gently, "A-Ara...?"

"Ara?!" And that was all it took to bring out the Demon in the crown Prince.
