Assassin's Chronicle - Chapter 201

Chapter 201
Sun jumped off the horizon and painted a golden sky . Suzanna quietly looked off into the distance, squinting . Anfey sat behind Suzanna and held her in his arms .


Suzanna tossed and turned the whole night and could not fall asleep . Later that night, she decided to get up and watch the stars with Anfey . She could not forget about that mercenary group with seven mercenaries . They had chased her for over half a year . How could she forget about them?
From Gruce Principality to Ellisen Empire, from Ellisen Empire to Maho Empire, that mercenary group had closely chased after her breath by breath . To protect Shally, she had to experience many dangerous moments and finally hid in the magic beast forest .
Suzanna felt like she had a gigantic stone on her chest, and she could not breath as she recalled her past . That time was like hell to her . She took Shally with her and fought against the whole world . She did not have anyone to trust, to help her, not even the man who had grown up with her . On the face of it, he had looked like an attractive gentlemen, but he had stabbed her in the back .
Suzanna could not help touching her right side as she thought of him . That guy led her into a trap that the mercenary group set up . They ran to her like seven starving wolves from the dark and surrounded her . Suzanna had been shot in the right ribs by that elf . She still had the scar to show for it .
Anfey gently held Suzanna’s hair and gave it a hard sniff with his eyes closed . He thought the nice smell from women were from cosmetics, but Suzanna never used any . Niya used to recommend some fragrance powder to her, but Suzanna did not wear it . Where was the nice smell on her from? Anfey thought this question was worth pondering a little more .
Suzanna quietly turned her body half way and stared at Anfey’s face as he was thinking about the biological problem of how Suzanna could give off a nice smell without the help of cosmetics . Suzanna used to think she would neither believe anything and anyone nor have attachment to anything after experiencing so many lies, traps, and murders . She only wanted to raise Shally and take back what belonged to Shally . However, Anfey had come into her life . They quickly built a relationship and were bound for good or ill .
The first time Suzanna saw Anfey, she wanted to kill him so badly, especially when he hung her on the tree . She had wanted to rip Anfey apart . She thought she would get raped, but Anfey left without any reluctance and had no intention of staying around . The experiences that Suzanna had had shaped her own way of thinking . No man would let an easily caught lamb go, but she met one .
Was she not attractive? What did those men with greedy eyes mean then? Suzanna was confident about her appearance . Anfey had a bitter smile on his face to try to cover that fact he felt bad about Suzanna . Back then Suzanna subconsciously felt Anfey should be a trustworthy man as she watched him walking quickly away . Of course, Suzanna still thought Anfey was a bad guy, only with some moral standards .
As time went by, Suzanna learned more about Anfey and started to trust him more . Anfey had one big difference with the guy she grew up with . That guy liked to make beautiful promises and describe their happy life in the future . However, nice things were only created with his lips . Anfey rarely promised anything, but he did things for her .
Just as this time: even though Anfey told her all kinds of excuses for fighting hard with seven mercenaries, Suzanna knew it was because Anfey had noticed the hatred Suzanna felt towards them . Anfey used some excuses to attack the mercenary group for her . If it had been Susanna’s childhood friend, he would have said he did everything for Suzanna, even the real reason could have had nothing to do with her . He could do that without any shame . Anfey took revenge for her, but argued that it had nothing to do with her . There was a big difference in how they acted .
Suzanna suddenly thought Anfey as a hero . Suzanna would love to be with Anfey forever .
At that moment, Anfey was still thinking about the biological question of how Suzanna smelled nice without using fragrance power . The nice smell should be created by perspiration and skin oil . Diving deeper on this question, it seemed that some animals attracted the opposite sex by secreting hormones . Maybe human beings inherit this ability as well . Anfey suddenly realized he had not had sex for a long time .
Suzanna got upset after she saw Anfey zoned out as he played with her hair . This man rarely expressed himself . He never told her how much he liked her or where they were in their relationship . Women always wanted to know though .
Suzanna bit her lips and swung her hair at Anfey’s face on purpose . Anfey was shocked, but it made Suzanna laugh .
"Are you feeling better?" Anfey asked with a smile .
"Yes," Suzanna nodded . Thinking about the old times had made her depressed, but she always felt better if she had Anfey with her . It had nothing to do with how powerful he was . She only wanted to have someone she could rely on .
"We have been sitting here half of the night . My butt started to hurt . Let’s go take some rest . We need travel tomorrow," Anfey said .
"No . " Suzanna suddenly acted like a little kid . She leaned back and threw herself in Anfey’s arms again .
Anfey held her in his arms and suddenly remembered that he had not figured out the question he had before . An assassin without self-control was a failure . Anfey never had any problem with self-control . The princess from Shansa Empire was a beautiful girl, the best of the best, but Anfey was never aroused by her even when she flirted with him . It had been a habit for Anfey to always have self-control . He had fought the attraction from that princess by instinct .


Anfey liked Suzanna because she won his trust with her bravery and performance on the battlefield . There was a big difference between flirting with Suzanna and that princess . Anfey started to feel aroused having Suzanna in his arms . Suzanna seemed to feel the same way . She was getting more clingy and breathed a little heavier .
"Anfey!" Riska yelled . He sounded like someone striking a broken gong .
In fact, Riska’s low and coarse voice usually sounded pretty manly, but this time it sounded very shrill to Anfey and Suzanna . It really sounded similar to striking a broken gong .

"We are up here . What are you yelling about?" Anfey yelled harshly .
Suzanna quietly left Anfey’s arms . Everyone knew there were dating, but it was not appropriate to let others see them being too intimate .
"Huh?" Riska was shocked for a second . He was not so sure why Anfey was so upset . He instinctively looked around to try to think of something to talk about . "Anfey, Suzanna disappeared . "
"You disappeared!" Suzanna did not sound too happy either .
Riska suddenly realized his mistake . He cleared his throat a few times and broke a random branch from a tree . He aimlessly doodled on the ground . One was his bro and leader and the other was Anfey’s future wife . He had to take it, even though they were not too nice to him .
"Anfey, why have you not asked about my past?" Suzanna asked quietly as she tied up her hair .


"I am waiting for you to tell me . " Anfey moved closer to Suzanna and grabbed her soft hand .
"I won’t tell you if you don’t ask . " Suzanna was not too happy with his answer and rolled her eyes at Anfey . However, she did not take her hand from Anfey’s and just let him hold her .
Anfey smiled without arguing . He held Suzanna’s small waist with the other hand . He never wanted to tell others about his background and history, so he never bothered to ask anyone’s either .
"Anfey," Suzanna murmured as she put her head on Anfey’s shoulder .
"Yes," Anfey said .
"What do you wish for most?" Suzanna asked .
"A safe and happy life . Marry a girl named Suzanna . " Anfey did not like to express himself, but he still knew how to flirt .
"I hate you . " Suzanna slightly pushed Anfey away .
"I am still going to marry you even though you hate me . " Anfey nodded vigorously .
Suzanna sighed and said quietly, "It would not be easy for us to live a safe and happy life . "
"Why do you say that?" Anfey asked .
"Think about yourself . " Suzanna smiled . "You have pissed off Master swordsman Philip and Shansa Empire’s royal families . You even caught the princess of Shansa Empire . We have too many enemies . "
"Indeed, many enemies," Anfey said proudly, "but they are nothing to me . "
"Seriously?" Suzanna looked at Anfey . She never remembered Anfey having this kind of look .
"Yes . Philip is just a coward . I sent him a challenge letter . He would not even take my challenge," Anfey said .
"Challenge letter? When did you sent him the challenge letter? How come I never heard of it?" This was huge . Suzanna looked nervous .
"A long time ago," Anfey said .
"What did you write in that challenge letter?" Suzanna got even more nervous when she saw Anfey’s serious look . Challenge letters were not casually sent out or accepted . Once the challenge letter was sent and accepted by both parties, nothing would get in the way of the fight proposed in the challenge letter . They had to come to the fight even if one of them was about to die from sickness . They would leave themselves a bad name for a long time if they did not come to the fight . Even they were too sick to walk, they had to crawl to the fight arena to fulfil their promise, otherwise they would disobey the holy rules of the challenge letter .
"I have challenged Philip to a fight in Blackwater City in twenty years . It was a deal between us," Anfey said .
"You…" Suzanna did not know whether she should cry or laugh . She realized Anfey was just kidding with her .
