General Gunder noticed the secret action of Amishta and Hiro and was totally not dissatisfied with it. It felt like they had a tacit understanding with such of a lover and Gunder wouldn't want her future disciple to be with Hiro.
"I am sorry but I am already a disciple of someone." Amishta respectfully stated as to afraid of hurting Gunder's feeling. Gunder was hurt as usual but the attitude of Amishta towards him makes him more interested with her.
"Then let go of your teacher and be my disciple." Gunder smirked and sneakily get Amishta and run. Hiro seems to be unprepared with what happened and his actions was a bit late. The battle continue while Hiro was following Gunder who has Amishta riding in a horse.
"Damn!" He cursed. He was surrounded by Gunder's elite. They were only used when Gunder is seriously in need but the appearance of them seemed to prove how important Amishta was for Gunder. He knew that Amishta won't betray them but he won't be able to explain to his father and the King if something will happened to her.
He fights for the elite guard but can't really fight for them as they will probably be suspicious of Amishta's identity. He can't risk the country. If they knew that Amishta is the Princess then probably it can be a downfall of their kingdom.
He can only signal his elite to follow Gunder silently with a huge distance as to not make him notice them. He fights with them intensely but they were totally good. They were not an elite for nothing. Even if he can win to them but it will take longer time and it will take Gunder to fully take Amishta away thus he pretended to neglect them and continue fighting with the soldiers.
The elite suddenly disappear as if they were a ghost. Probably they will follow their master. Hiro then moved with his elite to follow Gunder's track. He need to find her niece no matter what. As an uncle, this was probably the worst feeling he ever had. He already loved his niece.
…
Gunder take Amishta to the mountain near the Abberhyn's border. A place where Hiro wouldn't even think Gunder will go with Amishta in his hands. Since Gunder thought that Amishta and Hiro was a lover thus he knew that he will be coming for her but didn't probably expect that Amishta was his lovely niece.
"I am sorry. I can't. My teacher is very important to me." Amishta suddenly stated after getting off the horse. Gunder still wanted to take her in. He just don't know why he was very indulgent with Amishta. He knew that he has a special feeling towards her but not of a lover as he was way older than her but maybe a father.
Gunder was a bright and cunning General. He was an orphan and never married. He was probably a typical workaholic in the present. He just grows up practicing martial arts and gradually made achievements and become general. Amishta was probably the one he wanted to leave his legacy with.
"Then take me as your second teacher." Amishta was shocked as to how a mighty general humbled himself for her. She was very happy but she suddenly realized their situation. They were an enemy and this time they will obviously see each other in the battlefield as to kill each other.
Gunder seem to understand Amishta's concern and hesitated also. It was obvious that Amishta really loves her Kingdom so becoming a soldier of Xyphena was not an option. Gunder smiled.
"I really like you. I don't know why but I just wished for you to have my legacy. But seems our situation is not really good thus I will still make time for you to think of being my disciple." Amishta mouthed thank you and smiled to him.
"I am Amishta." Gunder smiled. He was totally distracted as to not ask the name of his soon to be disciple.
"Amishta. Good name. Amishta, as our meeting gift I will give this to you." Gunder handled a papers to Amishta from his sleeves. Amishta opened it and was stunned to see that it was a letter from their official conspiring with them. In short an evidence to an official's crime. It was rather detailed as every official who take part was written on it.
Amishta looked at Gunder hesitantly. She knew that this was probably would have an effect to him. Since they collided with them so probably the monarch of other country will protect them.
"Don't worry. We have no plans of protecting them. Since they can sell their kingdom then our kingdom will not be different. Our planned was already busted and probably war from our country will be stopped for a while."
"Then, I will take this. Thank you."
"One more thing. Some officials were with us in the camp in providing information about your kingdom. Probably they were already thinking of escaping. Since you seem to lead a team it will be great for you to have this achievement."
Amishta seriously nodded and thank Gunder again. He commanded her to cached the traitors and prove him that she is a good seedling. Amishta vigorously nodded and ride on the horse. She was about to go when she suddenly turn back and looked at Gunder.
"Please be safe. We will meet again soon." Gunder was shocked and was about to react but Amishta was already far from him. He then just smiled.
Amishta was riding the horse too fast and run into Hiro. She doesn't have time to explain things to him, afraid that those traitors will escape and enter a new Kingdom which will be hard for them to arrest thus just dragged him with her back to the enemies camp.
"There are traitors in the enemies camp and probably will try to escape. I need to catch them." Amishta shouted. Hiro saw her determination thus blindly trusting her again. He wanted to ask her about Gunder but he just keep quite. He also noticed the horse Amishta was riding. It was obviously a horse only Gunder can use.
The battle was already finished as the Xyphena Kingdom retreated. General Hiro just stopped the soldiers in chasing them as it will probably do not affect anything and it will just add up to deaths of his soldiers.
"Then lead your team." Amishta nodded and find her team in one side thus shouting to them. She just secretly nodded with the captain. Since she was of an unknown identity that was close to the General the captain just act nothing. Nine of them followed her that makes herself the tenth. Everyone of them ride on a horse and followed Amishta's lead created a pyramid.
"We need to chase over the traitors! They were escaping! We need to stopped them before they can reach other kingdom's border!" Amishta shouted and the nine members agreed making their speed to the limit. In a short time they saw a carriage which was the traitors.
Amishta shoot an arrow to the carriage horse. The traitors guard looked back and attacked trying to make their master a chance to escape. Amishta and the group easily knocked out the guards leaving two traitor shaking his legs on the ground and the other one seems to be confident with high heads.
"Do you think you can kill us easily. You are just a new trained soldiers but you bravely chased us. It was so stupid! Since you invite yourself to die then die!" The old official shouted making them angry. Dew was about to kill the old man but arrows from nowhere targeted them.
"Watch out!!" Amishta shouted to her team as arrows were just popping to them. It was obviously more harsher than their training as the archers really wanted to kill them this time. They tried to use the old man as their hostage but assassins suddenly appeared and attacked them.
They can fight but with the arrows still flying towards them made them vulnerable. Amishta signaled them to fight with their might. They gradually killed the assassins but Amishta got an sword cut again in her shoulder so it makes it worst because she protected Marco. They all got wounded.
Marco was rather in a bad mood for Amishta's injury thus killing thus while looking at the traitor officials who were escaping he run towards them and killed the two old man. As he was about to kill the other one, he was kicked to the other side.
All of them attacked him except Amishta as she was trying to observed. Their wounds then become serious after a fight. Amishta was sure that he was a martial proficient. She can't also win after him as her body was still not like before.
Amishta still fight with him and wounded him but she was also wounded again. Her team was very worried about her but they were just in more worst situation and they can't help in the fight. Amishta was struggling but as an assassin she can do a trick. She was still fast as before thus she give everything and get her knife and stab at his chest open.
Amishta didn't notice that they were in a cliff and the man seems to loss of his strength but he was underestimated as before he lost consciousness he was able to grab Amishta with him to the cliff.
