Chapter 124 They Won The Fight

Kayden lifted his head and gazed at her almost at the same time that the guy screamed. Behold the sight he saw left him speechless.

Smiling at him was Joanna whose both hands glowed even in the dark. Her hands weren't the only part of her body glowing but so were her eyes. A beam of brightness surrounded her making her look more enchanted and badass.

If not for the fact that they had the same face and figure he wouldn't have recognised her as the woman he is in love with.

Apart from that if someone had told him such an occurrence took place he wouldn't have believed it in a thousand years to come.

The blinded guy's face and stomach burn hotter as minutes passed. As time ticked so also did his screams intensified.

"How dare...," A ball of glimmering fire thrown by Joanna entered the tattooed snake guy's mouth.

Arrghh***

Deafening screams of agony erupted in the street once again. He went crazy as he ran to and fro searching for water or anything that could quench the fire in his mouth.

"That happened because you talk too much," Her nonchalance after what she did make her look like a totally different person.

There was no ounce of sympathy in her eyes as she watched the guy banging his head against the wall with the hope that his suffering will subside a little.

At the time she wanted to stroll to Kayden's side Bacon showed up. He soar in the air and after flapping his wings a few times it landed on Joanna's shoulders. The grinning Joanna pats the bird's hairy head.

"I didn't even call but you showed up. What a good boy you are?" With the bird on her shoulder, Joanna strolled to where the astounded Kayden stood.

"Since you are here then go and do your work. I will leave the rest to you," Joanna tapped his head gently. As if he understood what she said Bacon chirped and flew towards the assassin's direction.

Joanna diverted her attention to Kayden. Staring at the deep cut at a close range, her chest tightened. Her hatred intensified for the two men still struggling with the pains of her attack.

"Bacon, don't forget to gouge out their eyes as punishment for hurting his face," Joanna instructed the bird that was already carrying out his task.

Bacon responded with a loud chirp and instantly flew on the tattooed snake guy's head. The guy swung his hand repeatedly trying to chase the bird away. No matter how hard he tried Bacon didn't move a muscle.

Bacon poke the tattooed guy's right eye sending him screaming in pain.

"That serves him right," Joanna grinned listening to the guy's wild scream. She brought back her attention to the guy gazing at her as if she has just fallen from the sky.

"Are you ok?" Asked Joanna worriedly. She lifted her hand and tried to touch his face. The burning sensations made Kayden groan.

"Does it hurt very much?" Joanna moved away from his face and checked his back injuries. Because of the special weapons the assassins used Kayden's wound had refused to heal.

"It's not hurting. You are the most effective medicine to cure my pains," His lips lifted but only for him to whine before they could form a smile.

Joanna didn't know whether to laugh or scold him for trying to act cool even though his whine was an obvious sign that he was in pain.

"I won't scold you today since you are hurt because you were trying to save me so let's go," said Joanna as she held his hand and made him lean on her.

Although he wasn't hurt to the point that he couldn't walk he pretended to be in severe pain all because it was her.

"You want us to leave?" Asked Kayden in a soft tone. He turned and gaze at the men whom Bacon was pecking every part of their body.

"Don't worry, Bacon knows exactly what to do with scums like them. With my Bacon around they won't live passed midnight," Joanna said subconsciously smiling in Bacon's direction.

"He…,"

"He isn't just an ordinary bird. It's more intelligent and powerful than you think."

Kayden didn't need to speak for Joanna to know what was on his mind. His reluctance and the look on his face were enough for her to guess his thoughts.

Holding onto his hand they walked further away from the Kingdom.

Joanna leads the way to their hideout.

The swaying of tree branches and leaves. The chirping of the night owl and growls of wild animals from afar was the sign that they had arrived at the forest.

Joanna made him sit on the big tree trunk which normally served as their chair. She dashed into the hut and returned with the white and red box that Kayden prepared just for her.

There was a lot of gentleness in her touch as she went about undressing him. Unlike how she normally gets flustered in the past whenever she saw his bare body, she didn't feel her cheeks burnt nor did she feel the urge to look away.

She was so used to seeing his nudity and this felt like a normal thing when it shouldn't suppose to be so.

The wound stings as she cleansed it with the methylated spirit. Kayden bites down on his lower lips as he stares at her face which stands out even in the dark.

All his thoughts were that this lady nursing his wound was the same frail lady he knew in the past. He had thought he would always be her knight in shiny armour.

But today he saw her in a different light and surprisingly his desire to protect her didn't change even though he knew that she was more than capable of protecting herself.

Gazing at her face he could feel all his pains fade away in the twinkle of an eye.

"I love you," He muttered, his gaze fixated on her purple eyes.

Her hands dressing his wound stopped in their tracks. Joanna raised her gaze only for her eyes to get locked in his.

"I love you a whole lot and I won't get tired to say this to you every day".

Joanna was lost in the intensity of his eyes and couldn't avoid his eyes no matter how hard she tried.
