Rebirth Of The Duke's Daughter

Chapter 79

Riding the horse, Mila saw Ambrose already reaching her with the horse he stole from the stables with the Knights just at a loss on what to do. He tried to tap her off her horse or catch her, but Mila dodged his hand that was aimed at her. Avoiding him made it very difficult for Mila to stay still on her horse. 'He is determined to catch me!' She felt very worried that she may have played the wrong game.

Hurrying, she then saw a fallen tree ahead which had her pull her reins to the horse since she did not think that the horse would be able to jump over it. The horse was after all just an ordinary rock element that would jump lower than any other since it had a heavier weight. The horse had struggled to stop with the reins being of no avail, making Mila fall forth off the horse. Embracing for impact, Mila was waiting for it, but she was hugged into a pair of arms that shielded her.

Still feeling her body ache a bit, she was still injured in some little ways, but it shocked her to see what he had done for her. Ambrose had hugged Mila into his arms to avoid her from taking too much damage or impact from the fall. "Ambrose?! Why did you do that?! You idiot!" Mila saw that his hands were bruised from the impact of the fall to protect her head and body.

"Are you okay?! You're not hurt are you?!" Mila held his cheeks and she could only feel his mask on her palms, but it still felt as though she could feel the warmth emitting through. Mila was breathing heavily and looked worriedly for Ambrose who just saved her which could have cost him his very own life. 'Why would you go so far to protect me?' Mila felt very guilty, she did not want him to die so soon by her but at the same time, she did not want him to die at all. Wanting him to just keep living on with no regrets about his life choice.

Ambrose held Mila's hands that slowly fell to her lap, turning her hand to allow him to see her palm. 'I'm okay. Are you worried about me?' He wrote down making Mila look at him giving him a clear answer from her expression that she was indeed worried about him.

"Yes! Yes, I am worried!" Mila was crying to see how he would put his life on the line just for her sake. "Don't put your life on the line for me when it can endanger you. I don't want to lose you." Mila wiped her cheeks that had tears streaming down with her mask still over her eyes. 'Damn it! I must look pathetic!' She hated crying in front of others the most, mainly when they were her close friends and family.

Ambrose just hugged her close to him, allowing her to calm down and relax after what had happened to them both. He never thought that she would feel so concerned for him. Mila felt hiccups from making her try to force herself to calm down and at the same time, she felt ashamed for crying in front of him which was like a sign of weakness in her mind. Mila took out the bandage that Thelma had given to her before leaving, wrapping it onto his hands. "What do you want? You won." Mila looked at Ambrose who looked at her. "I keep my words." Mila held on strongly to words, vows, deals, and promises and would prefer to die than to give them up.

There was a long pause for them both, but Ambrose then wrote onto her palm. 'Can you give me something before I go to war?' He wrote onto Mila's palm making her know that he was going to go and no one could change his mind nor could they change his fate since it was decided by the Mireraweth emperor's men.

"I will." Mila held her hand out with a glowing light that soon had a small pouch appear into his hand. "This is something that I made a few years ago. It's a scented pouch so make sure you keep it with you. Don't lose it. Make sure you come back no matter what!" Mila handed him the small purple scented pouch that held a soothing scent to relax one's muscles. Helping him up, she had him wrap his arm around her while they made it back to the training ground. Iris had won against Perry but Mila was lectured by Perry since his little brother did get hurt in the game. 'I kind of expected this kind of reaction, but they are brothers.' She sighed, knowing that there was no issue with Perry being mad at her.
