37 Chapter 37: Realization (1/2)

A loud clang sound rang in the air, gasps echoing in the field. The force of the attack made the dust fly, obstructing their view.

”Cough...Cough”

Jinha coughed slightly while he peeked through his eye trying to figure out the situation.

Abruptly, a gale of wind swept in and cleared their view. The sight before them stunned them thoroughly as they stayed rooted to the ground with their jaws wide open.

”LIZZ.... WATCH OUT!!!”

The loud shout startled Liz out of her wits. She saw a lean built figure rush up to her from the corner of her eyes and grab her arm and tug her towards him.

She felt herself swirl a little and looked up at the broad chest of the guy who had his arms wrapped around her waist, protecting her and preventing her from stepping out of his human shield.

She sighed, ”Prince Zelal, Let go of me.”

Zelal looked down at the beauty in his arms. If it was any other day, he would have rejoiced about the fact that she knew his name and was in his arms.

He shook his head and vehemently said, ”No” while tightening his arms around her.

Liz frowned and struggled to get out of his hold. But, this stubborn man held onto her, not moving an inch.

She knitted her eyebrows as she thought, 'Argh! Why is he unshakeable. Just how strong is this guy!'

She pursed her lips angrily as she rebuked, ”I don't need your protection.” and shoved him aside forcefully.

Zelal gritted his teeth as he said, ”Why are you being stubborn! You fool!”

Liz glared at him as she placed her arms on her waist.

”Who are you to call me a fool?!”

Zelal turned his head away as he exhaled angrily.

He shouted, ” If I was late by a minute, what do you think would have happened?!”

Liz was shaken by his sudden outburst. She could see the anger, uneasiness, relief all in his eyes. It puzzled her greatly on why he was reacting also strongly and on why she was bickering with him like a small kid.
