Villainess Becomes The Knight

Noah pov

"You can\'t always be with me, so it is necessary that I learn to take care of myself." her words were more than truth, she was not supposed to be with me all her life.

I was hiding here and she was meant to fly high with her dreams to be the strongest. Her thoughts never stuck to me. But then why did it feel like someone pierced me when she said that.

I knew how I was behaving like a fool in front of her these days. Trying to follow her everywhere and then worrying about her more than necessary. But it did not change the fact that she did not see me like that. For her I was just a trainer or companion. 

\'If only I force her then she would accept me as a friend but there would be nothing more than that, would it be?\'

"Hey, what are you doing there?" I heard her voice and when I looked at her she was looking at me with a frown.

"What is it? Do you not want to know what the physician said so that you can report it to your father?" she asked, and I blinked.

\'How could I forget why I was there in the first place!\' I nodded and took hurried steps towards the room.

I sat there on a chair when the physician checked her pulse and opened her wounds slowly. She was wearing a backless dress for easy access to the wounds. She hardly wears dresses. She was looking so frail in them. Her heart shaped face looked so innocent and when the medicine touched her wounds, she winced. Her face contorted in pain and she closed her eyes. 

I wanted to move forward and hug her, telling everything would be fine but I could not. 

"You are a knight, not a kid! How could you wince and frown over this small injury!" I blurted out to distract her, and as expected her eyes opened and she glared at me.

"I am a human too. Can I not feel the pain?" she asked with a death glare. That was the Abi I knew, strong, determined and always glaring at me!

"Of course, you are a human, but at the same time you are one of my trained knights. And my team is supposed to be stronger and braver. So you can not cry like kids.`` I said again and she friksed like an angry kitten.

"When did I cry, huh? Here come closer, look into my eyes, can you see tears. Tell me when have I cried?" she asked as she moved closer to me. Her hot breath could touch my face and her bright green eyes were so close to me that I felt like I was drowning in them.

"Now what, why are you tongue tied? Tell me where the tears are?" she asked again, bringing me back to the shore.

"I was just dumbfounded by your childish acts!" I mumbled as I stood up from my seat and drank water from the table. Why did my body suddenly feel so hot!?

"How are her wounds? Commandants have asked ``can she attend the academy tomorrow or does she need more rest?" my hands turned sweaty when i asked the question to the physician.

"She has deep wounds but they all were treated so they are healing well. My lady can attend the class or roam freely but she should not fight or do anything that puts pressure on her wounds." said the man and only then did I take the sigh of relief.

\'Well I was worried because she is part of my team. And my team is like my family. There is no other reason behind it.\' 

"Are you assured now?" she asked and I nodded.

"Come let me escort you to your room, you must be tired." I offered but she shook her head.

"It is only noon. I am not that tired. I have plenty of work to check before I leave for the academy tomorrow."

She replied, shaking her head and I frowned.

"I am sure you did not sleep last night at all." she chuckled when I pointed at the facts.

"I have to make sure that my business works better even in my absence. It is my future, Noah." I grimaced at her words and she sighed.

"If you want me to rest, then you have to help me in getting things done. Please." she held my arms tightly and leaned her head on my shoulders as she swung my arms sweetly.

My heart beat increased as if a wild horse was left near the tents of knights. It continued to destroy all my rational thoughts. And before I could even think, all my thoughts jumbled up and I nodded my head.

"I know you are the best. You are my best friend." She moved and kissed my cheeks. KISS EEDDDD!!!

I did not need to see my face to know that it was redder than the cooked crabs. My heart almost leapt out of my ribcage.

"Come, we have very less time to plan everything." she added and started dragging me from there. My mind shut down, my whole body stopped responding and it let her drag and do everything she wanted to do.

"Sit there. I will bring all my plans." she said as she pointed at the chair of her chamber. And only then did I notice I was already in her office. When and how I reached here I did not know at all!

"Here, there are more than 20 sketches for the dresses. This is the key to my cottage in the town which my father bought for me to rest when I get tired after shopping. Pass these designs, the key of the cottage and the money you received from the crown prince to Stephan. And ask him to start a boutique there and advertise it as much as he can. Ask him to hire 3-4 staff too. I will advertise him in the noble circle. Tell him that I want the boutique to be functioning till next weekend when I come back."
