A branch snaps behind me

I spin around to face the intruder It’s the ry at Fen e arrived

I stand and step back as he approachesmy space as he breathes into my face His breath smells of alcohol and his eyes roam over my body in a way that makes ht to decide everyone’s fate? What s his dirty hand to rabs my chin so hard it hurts

I shove his chest, but he doesn’t budge Of course not He’s a de for h clenched teeth "You will not like what happens if you don’t"

"Oh? What are you going to do? Tell the big, bad prince on me? You don’t knoho my family is, do you?"

He leans in close to ue and runs it over ood as you sainst thetree, his thick, sweaty body pressing againstmy skin

I have no weapon, so I pull a branch off the tree and swing it at hier at htens around rier than he did before A bear riled froht to do when under attack by a stranger I scream I scream so loud the man looks shocked He squeezes ainst the tree I hit with a painful thud, tripping over a branch, falling towards the water

The man has a choice Hold onto o, but looks ready to follohen a wolf growls from the top of a boulder behind him

Baron jumps onto my attacker

He bites hi out of the water,Baron pins the man down, his wolf teeth at the ood having a predator at your throat, does it?" I ask

Fen arrives aon here?" He’s not askingthe man pinned by Baron "What did you do to the Princess?"

"I didn’t do nothing! I swear!" Thea nice chat with the Princess when this beast attacked me for no reason"

Fen places a foot on the man’s arm and presses in Bones snap A screaain," Fen says "What did you do, Rodrigo?"

"She just sood You don’t let us feed neither Not proper-like And I was thirsty!"

Baron growls again and Fen looks like he’s about to lose his shit This time I don’t intervene or play nice This ti I’ like they are entitled to the bodies of women just because they want theardless of which world it’s on So I don’t try to teo I want the prince to unleash his own brand of wrath
