Chapter 10 The Power Of Laycon

"What exactly are you doing here? This place is very dangerous. It's a wolf and there's a large group of wolves here. Why are you wandering around at night like this in such a dangerous place?" asked the white-haired man who was none other than Howard.

"I was just looking for someone. I didn't know it was getting dark all of a sudden like this. Thanks for helping me. Sorry I really didn't mean to... I'm lost. I want to go back to the cave." the place where I took shelter last night. But before I could reach the cave, they already surrounded me and found me here. That's why I can't leave. I'm sorry..."

The white haired man nodded his head. He also manages the breath. Lucky that he still had a chance to see lukresia who was currently in danger. If he was even a little late, it was certain that the girl would only be left in the carcass here. And that means he failed to carry out the orders requested by the prince.

"No problem... I'm just doing what the prince told me to do. That is to protect you. I warn you to stay careful and don't go out unless you want to die silly like this. This place is full of wolves. Not just one pack like the one that was about to pounce on you. But there are also lots of other packs of wolves that inhabit their respective territories. If you don't understand, you can be considered as someone who has interfered and entered their territory without permission. Better Now you go back into the cave and don't come out until it's completely safe." Howard again gave Lucrezia a stern warning.

"I understand. I'm sorry for bothering you like this. But if I may ask, who is that prince you are referring to? Who is he that you said asked you to protect me? Was he the one who saved me last night? If so? , can you take me to where I am now? It seems safer there for me than in a cave."

Instead of answering the question asked by Lucrecia. Howard instead showed the girl the way to get back into the fruit.

"From here you can just go straight ahead. Follow these big trees and you'll find the cave you were in last night. There's only one fruit in this place, so you can definitely find it. Remember! Don't turn around or turn around if you hear anything. Just walk straight ahead so you can quickly get back into the cave and take refuge in that place."

"You haven't answered my question. Who is the prince you mean the question mark why he asked you to protect me?" Lucrecia asked one more time.

And once again, Howard ignored the question. Just the location turned around. The man had simply disappeared without a trace. Which made Lugresia confused and at the same time got goosebumps on her own. He even thought that the white-haired man just now might not be human. But the guardian of this forest.

Feeling such a feeling, the girl immediately left and walked straight to her cave again. According to the instructions given by Howard earlier. The fool of Lucrecia is, she hasn't asked the name of the man who helped her just now. Just like when he hadn't had time to ask the man who had helped him last night.

Finally, Lucresia reached the cave. He just sat down for a while and straightened his legs which felt sore and sore because this was the first time he walked barefoot. The girl felt her stomach was so hungry. He was looking for food. Luckily there are still leftovers from last night's food stored in the cave. Even though the rest of the food was covered by ants. But his lugresi had no other choice but to eat the leftover food that was there. He could no longer come out of the cave just to find food. After all, it was getting late at night. And it would be very dangerous for him to have to wander around at night like this.

Meanwhile Howard returned to the palace and infiltrated again into the dungeon where Laikon was being held. How surprised Howard was, when he saw the prince now groaning in pain in his prison. Apparently the king had already sentenced laikon. Where the punishment, was the punishment of 1000 lashes which made Lycoan's back and arms and legs bleed. And almost crushed the skin. Howard felt very sad and sad to see the condition of the prince.

"Oh my God Prince! What happened to you? Why are you like this? How cruel and how cruel they are to you, to torture you like this? Oh my God..."

In the midst of a fairly critical condition, Lycoan can still smile and tell Howard that he is fine at the moment.

"You don't have to worry... have you forgotten, that I have the power within me to heal myself? So you don't have to worry. I might be in pain right now. But it won't be long."

Howard did know about the power of laycon. However, he still felt very sad to see the condition of the prince like this. Never imagined in him, that the person who looks so strong in front of him as usual. Instead it will lie weak like this.

"Have you done what I asked? How is the girl's condition now?"

"It's Prince. You don't need to worry anymore. The girl had come out of the cave to look for you. And it looks like she was lost too. Until then she was almost caught by a pack of wolves who were ready to pounce and kill her right then and there. could come in time to save his life. Now he's back in the cave. He should be safe."

"You have to make sure. That he will stay safe and not lack anything while hiding."

"Okay Prince I understand. I have to get out of here soon. Soon the guards will be on the move. I can't be here any longer. So that I don't get caught by them." Howard finally said goodbye to Lycoan.

Meanwhile in the cave, eating the leftovers from last night. Lucrezia was lost in thought to herself and felt sorry. She felt sorry for having to travel time to get to such a dangerous place as well as regret why she didn't immediately ask about the identity and address of the man who had helped him last night. It's nothing, this place is not Italy where there are cellphones or smart gadgets that can be used for communication. Right now Lucrecia is even in the middle of the forest where is it located. So it was impossible for him to be able to communicate with other people.

"Oh my God... if only there was a signal here. If only that man last night also had a cell phone. I must have sent a chat to him and asked where she is now. And asked him to send his location, so I can quickly go and meet him."
