“How many that you and your warriors had killed?” Kellan asked. He had informed Ethan that at very least, there were a dozen of them out there.

The avalanche could be their downfall, but also their blessing, because when they couldn’t go out from this place until they found another alternative way out, the enemy couldn’t ask for more help.too.

In that case, they only needed to deal with the current enemy, unless, by some miracle, they managed to get a back up.

“Five.” Ethan wiped the blood from Jasmine’s face with his sleeve.

“It will be seven…” Kellan murmured. There would be five more warrior out there,” he calculated it.

“Are you sure there are only twelve of them?” Ethan asked. He didn’t look happy at all to find themselves in this situation, which was understandable, since it put Jasmine’s safety at risk.

In his opinion, Kellan shouldn’t have come to this place at all. He should have stayed away from here, or once they learned what happened, he should have kicked him out.

The problem with the other kingdom was not his business and what happened to him was not his concern, his duty was only for the princess.

On the other hand, Kellan seemed to catch the animosity that Ethan exuded and he shrugged his shoulders.

“As far as I knew, there are only twelve of them.” Kellan then walked toward the door. “I will check it out myself.”

“Wait, what do you think you are going to do?” Jasmine immediately stood up and stopped Kellan from leaving the room. “Are you crazy? You are going to kill yourself if you were going out there alone. You are still not fully recovered.”

“He is a lycan, princess. You don’t need to worry,” Ethan said, he didn’t seem to care and it was very obvious.

However, Jasmine ignored that comment and came to Kellan, she grabbed his hand to stop him from leaving, which surprised the lycan.

“What is it, princess? Did I manage to charm you and now you are so worried about me that you

couldn’t bear to see me in difficult situation?” Kellan smirked and Ethan felt

“Don’t overvalue yourself. You are not that important,” Jasmine said lightly. “I stop you from leaving because there is no guarantee that your enemy will stop harassing us once you disappeared, unless you wanted to make your departure known to them.”

In another word, if Kellan planned to leave this place quietly, those warriors that had been looking for him, would still harass Jasmine and her warriors, unless they learned that Kellan had gone, but if he made his departure known, with his current condition, he wouldn’t be able to make to Great Darren city.

Kellan’s face fell when he heard that and Ethan snickered. He liked this princess more and more.

“You are so cruel. Do you know that?” Kellan furrowed his brows, but Jasmine simply shrugged her shoulder, she didn’t think much about that, as she continued.

“If you wanted to leave, make a big entrance from this house. So, those warriors out there could follow you instead of bothering me and warriors.”

Kellan clicked his tongue and then shook his head. “I don’t know that you are this cruel princess.” However, despite what he said, there was this admiration in his eyes for her.

“Oh, you judged me too fast if what I suggested is cruel. Because I can be even crueler than this.” Jasmine shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly and then let go of his hand.

Kellan contemplated his option and for Ethan’s annoyance, the lycan decided he was going to stay for another day until he was fully recovered and could take those five warriors on his own.

“No. I don’t have a tendency for suicide, so I will stay here until tomorrow and made a full recover first before I left.”

“You are so shameless,” Ethan said through his gritted teeth, but Kellan simply smirked at him, as if there was nothing wrong with his decision. “You are going to stand on guard along with the other warriors too, since you look for shelter with the princess’s protection.”

“I am the king.” Kellan raised his brows at him, couldn’t believe the audacity of this warrior to call him out.

Yet, Ethan was having none of it. “You are only a refugee by now.”

“I will talk to king Alexander once I managed to return to my kingdom and complain about you.” Kellan crossed his arms in front of his chest. “You should be grateful to help

me in time of need, because when I sat on the throne, I will not forget that, so don’t

cross me.”

Ethan smirked this time. “Yeah, the word here is ‘if’. I hope you a good luck for tomorrow.” He took Jasmine’s hand to go out of the room. “Oh, don’t worry, I will tell the king himself that you have jeopardized the safety of his daughter. Let’s see what he is going to say about that.”

Kellan really wanted to hit this warrior on the head. He couldn’t believe a warrior would talk to him like this, while Jasmine only enjoyed their banter and didn’t do anything.

Well, it was not like they were going to kill each other, so all was well.

However, before they could continue with whatever grievances that they had, they heard the sound from the second floor and another vicious growls, but this time, apparently there were more than four beasts.

Without a second thought, Ethan immediately mindlinked the warrior, who should have stood on guard there and learned something mortifying.

“What is it? What happened?” Kellan immediately asked when he saw the change on Ethan and Jasmine’s face.

“You said there are only five warriors left?!” Ethan hissed viciously.

“I didn’t say that’s the exact number! That’s my prediction! How many are they?”

“FIFTY!”
