Lady to Queen

Chapter 54: CHAPTER 27 (2). I SEE YOU HERE

“Darn it, who are you?”

He shouted into the air with a sharp voice. Patrizia could tell intuitively. It was a surprise attack.

‘But who in the world?’ Without giving a chance to continue thinking about this, a group of men with masks appeared.

“Sh*t.” Patrizia cursed out loud and quickly pulled out two arrows from the quiver. Even during this time, she made an intuitive judgment. These were assassins that Rosemond had sent in a scheme to kill her.

With that thought in mind, her hair stood on end. Ah, stupid Patrizia. Why hadn’t she ever thought about this at all? Why did she think that Rosemond would not blow away this good chance? Why on earth did she… think that she would not have plotted a conspiracy at all? Why had she taken things so easily? Why in the world!

“You, know how to shoot with a bow?”

His urgent question immediately stopped her from thinking about this further. She replied without hesitation.

“A little bit.”

“I will cover you, so take over my back. I will take the front.”

The conversation ended there. There was no more time to think. Even if Rosemond really had sent these guys to kill her, she could only think about it once they had dealt with these assassins. Otherwise, this place might be the last time she had any thought. Patrizia immediately placed a couple of arrows on the bow and started pulling the bowstring.

The assassins in the back began to fall one by one, but Patrizia had to mechanically take her hand to the quiver and pull the arrow out without having any time to be overjoyed. Fortunately, she had brought enough arrows, but she had to make sure there was no waste in preparation for a worse situation. In the midst of this emergency, she showed her amazing concentration by trying hard not to waste a single arrow.

The group of assassins, which seemed to number a little over twenty, was gradually decreasing, but her stamina was also dropping rapidly.

Nevertheless, she woke up every single cell in her body in a mission to keep her mind awake. If she didn’t shape up now, she might never be able to stand up forever. In addition, they were all skilled. In contrast, she lacked skills in comparison and had to be vigilant in order to survive.

“HUFF, HUFF.”

She exhaled a rough breath while releasing an arrow quickly from the quiver. Now there were about five or six people left. There was a chance. The question was, how much longer could they both endure?

Patrizia looked over at Lucio. Fortunately, he didn’t look very tired. Nevertheless, it was unreasonable for him to have to face five of them alone, so Patrizia decided to scrounge up a little more power. There was really not much left now.

“Ugh!”

Finally, when the last assassin was eliminated, Patrizia felt her legs sway for a moment. Lucio, who saw this, quickly approached her and supported her. He asked Patrizia in an anxious voice, “You, are you okay? No place you got hurt?”

“Sigh… I am okay, Your Majesty. Is Your Majesty all right?”

“I am fine. Anyways, whoever did this…”

Before he could even finish his sentence, he pushed her away to the ground. Patrizia failed to take any defensive action on this sudden move and fell straight down. Patrizia, who stood up to try and argue about what he had done, couldn’t say anything and froze.

“Your… Majesty.”

“Ugh..!”

He collapsed down with a painful face due to the pain from the arrow. The shocked Patrizia quickly approached him and embraced him. She called him in an urgent voice, “Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Are you all right?”

“Sigh… I am all right.”

“How… How on earth…”

Why had he gotten an arrow instead of her? Why? Why? Why in the world?! She looked at him with a look about to erupt into tears and asked for an explanation, but Lucio only muttered a few more words with a strenuous expression as he seemed to have no energy.

“Ha… More than that… hurry… I think you have to escape.”

At the end of his words, Patrizia quickly raised her head and looked around their surroundings. Darn it all, a few more assassins had showed up!

They should have all appeared at once, why? Patrizia stared at them with a furious expression, and as they approached them from a distance, held Lucio in her arms.

She habitually searched for an arrow in the quiver and soon despaired to learn that she had used up all the arrows in the previous round. To make matters worse, Lucio was injured on her behalf, and it is impossible for him to deal with them alone without a weapon.

She asked him with a calm expression.

“Your Majesty, are you able to run?”

At those words, Lucio woke up slowly after having fallen out of her arms. But even in the eyes of Patrizia, who was unfamiliar with this kind of situation, it was clear that he was struggling. In this situation, a face-to-face battle was foolish. First, an evacuation was the priority.

Patrizia grabbed Lucio’s hand, then put him on her horse and started running together. It was urgent to get out of this place as soon as possible. From her rear-view, the assassins could be seen chasing after them, and Patrizia pulled out the sword that Lucio had and blocked the arrows flying towards them. Meanwhile, the horse ran in a random direction, and eventually, they arrived at a dead end, no, a cliff.

“Damn it!”

Patrizia cursed out in a loud voice.
