Chapter 412 - Forgive Me

As she surrendered herself and prepared her mind to accept her upcoming death, that death somehow was just not coming no matter how long she waited. She frowned even with her eyes closed, thinking that death should not be taking that long to happen, would it not? Feeling that something must have gone awry, she slowly opened her eyes and was surprised at the realisation that she was now out of the forest. What? How could this happen?!

She jerked her head and turned to look behind her. The forest was just a step behind her. Her eyes widened in disbelief. Did she managed to make it out of that place because she fell and tumbled down?

A wave of relief came crashing over her but before she could even let out a breath of relief, she heard a voice. And that voice just caused her whole body to stiffen in alarm.

"Tch, tch, tch… How admirable. I can't believe you are still alive." The voice drawled out and Zanya turned back and looked up.

Two dark faes stood before her, dressed in all black. Zanya could tell in one glance that they were at the same level as those soldiers whom she had fought to escape. If she had enough strength left, she could have beaten these two dark faes black and blue within seconds. But right now, she could barely get herself to stand up. She had exhausted all her energy to the last drop.

"This woman is really strong to be able to survive this long in the monsters' forest." The other one said.

"That's true. She must be a high noble light fae just like the high nobles in the Great City."

"Right." one of them squatted and pinched Zanya's chin and tilted her head up for a better look at her face. "And this one is truly a beauty!" His gaze became lecherous as his gaze trailed from her mouth down to her ample cleavage.

Zanya's eyes widened in outrage, and she jerked her head back and out of his grasp. But the dark fae was quick to grab the back of her head. "Don't waste your time light fae." He licked his lower lip then looked back at the man behind her. "No one's going to believe us anyway if we report that this woman is still alive."

The man behind him smirked and Zanya could already tell what were on their minds and the plans that they had. Fear crept through her as the man walked closer as well and held her shoulders from behind.

"Exactly. Since the idiot monsters failed to devour you, we'll gladly help them complete the job instead. Don't worry, this devouring will feel much, much better." He whispered lewdly and when Zanya opened her mouth to protest, the dark fae in front of her quickly gagged her with his dark magic.

The next moment, she felt her back being pressed against the cold and hard ground. She screamed inside her mind as she was unable to speak.

As the other man pinned her wrists above her head, the other one reached out and began to rip off her clothes, as they laughed like lunatics that were hungry for sexual gratification.

Zanya teared up again as she tried to summon her strength. But it seemed that she was truly out and these dark faes were too strong for her to fight back in this weakened state. Help. No. She would rather die.

She heard the sounds of her clothes ripping and she could only shut her eyes tight as tears fell from her eyes when she felt the man restraining her legs.

Their laughter became loud and raucous as she felt the man force her legs wide open. She screamed in her head again when suddenly, the hands on her legs and wrists were gone. It took her a second to realise that she was no longer physically restrained. The gag placed on her mouth was also gone and she could speak.

Her eyes flew open to make sense of what was happening right now. She could hear sounds of fighting now. Trembling hard from both fear and weakness, she struggled to sit up, covering herself with her hands and legs before lifting her head.

What she saw next made her body froze.

A man was now slamming the dark fae on the ground over and over, like he was nothing but a rag doll. She saw the other dark fae lying to the side, already unmoving – dead. His severed head that was sitting beside his body still had his eyes opened wide, not knowing what happened while he died.

Zanya looked at the man again and hot tears just poured down her cheeks. Was she dreaming? What was he doing here? Why is he here? How did he even come here?

It took him a long while until he finally stopped slamming the dark fae over and over into the ground. When he finally stopped, there was a huge depression in the ground where the mangled body of that dark fae was left in. When he turned, Zanya saw the utter rage in his eyes. The purple was so dark now that it was like the eyes of a beast.

He rushed towards her and knelt on the ground. She saw his hand trembling as he reached out to touch her face. She could see fear in his eyes as he looked at her.

His lips trembled as well, then he pulled her and hugged her to him so tightly. Neither of them spoke. They just could not. They both just trembled in each other's arms.

"My god…" Leon finally spoke, still gripping her hard. "I'm gonna kill them over and over again." His voice was dark with utter rage. "Forgive me. I'm so sorry I'm late I'm… my god." He gently pushed her shoulders to look at her over again, checking to make sure she was alright. Zanya lifted her head weakly and her lips touched his in a featherlight touch.

"Kiss me Leon," she whispered hungrily, and Leon devoured her mouth. He kissed her so deep, and so wildly that the paralyzing fear that had gripped Zanya's body started to melt a little. His warmth was slowly washing away the ice.

When their mouths finally parted, they were both panting hard. "Did they… my god, Zanya…"

"You came before they could…" Zanya tried her best to stop crying and began explaining now, knowing that they must find a place to hide now, before the other dark faes find them. "… these wounds I got were from the monsters in the forest. We must… we must hide for now."

Leon seemed to understand immediately what she wanted, and he took his dark cloak and swiftly put it on Zanya. Then he hastily threw the bodies of the dark faes in the forest. With the creatures in there, he need not spend the extra effort to get rid of the evidence.

And without wasting another second, he gathered Zanya carefully in his arms and disappeared into the darkness.
