She's beautiful

She's beautiful
Still pleading with fear, Mila was shaking, "Pyrrhus just let him go" She begged with her hands quivering and he frowned.

He tried collected the dagger from her, "Fine then if you won't kill I'll kill him myself"He affirmed trying to collect the sword but she held onto it tighter.

"Pyrrhus, I'll do it, Don't worry I'll do it" She boomed and gulped hard walking towards the masked man who was pinned to the wall by a dagger.

"Pl..please..please don't kill me I won't touch any woman ever again!" He begged shivering in fear. Mila gulped hard again.she was hesitant.

"Do it Mila"Pyrrhus persisted and she gulped hard again raising the dagger but instead of chopping his head, she chopped his hands off.

As she did this, the spectators that had gathered at the scene cheered for her as they passed different Comments.

"Wow, is she Phoenix's mother?"

"As expected of Pyrrhus Cole's Wife, she is very brave" another person commented.

Mila stood amidst the cheering and buzzing words while the man screamed in pain and the other masked men ran away.

Pyrrhus crossed his hand over his chest and smirked, Mila can't help but be overwhelmed. What the hell is wrong with these people?

Walking towards her still with the smirk on his face, he extended his hand for her to take, "Let's go home Wife, you have done well" Pyrrhus said without remorse, her mouth went agape.

"So you're not angry i didn't kill him?" She asked.

"He would die from the bleeding eventually, no one would help him so I don't have any remorse whatsoever"

Hearing his reply, made Mila become more curious to why no one will help the bleeding man.

"But why won't they help him?"

"I am Pyrrhus Cole, an assassin that kills like Azzrail the angel of death, I don't kill anyone without good reason, they will know that he had offended me and deserves to die"

Mila was speechless. Today for the first time in her entire twenty years of living, she had chopped a man's hands off. Something she never attempted to do even when she was a Princess and people still cheered her on because she was Pyrrhus Cole's Wife.

After leaving the scene, he dropped her off at where she left Little Phoenix then left to do his business.

As Pyrrhus Cole walked through the market, Several market Women were saluting and greeting him respectfully as he passed.

He finally made a stop at the blacksmith shop where he gets most of the weapons he used and the owner of the shop happens to be one of his informants.

Gaston, the blacksmith offered him water as he stand down opposite him. "I heard your new wife chopped off the hand of an offender today?"

"Since you knew already why are you asking me again?" Pyrrhus asked gulping down the cup's content.

"She's a beautiful woman no doubt" Gaston muttered as he noticed the frown on his face.

Pyrrhus stood up and walked around the shop looking at various weapons, "Since you know that too why telling me?" He asked pointing a Cutlass at him.

Gaston smiled as Pyrrhus pulled an annoying face. "Hey, I don't say I'll steal your wife, I just can't help it now that I know why you captured her" He added.

"I captured her for revenge Gaston, not because of her worthless beauty" Pyrrhus snorted and his brows perked up.

"Whatever you say Your Highness" Gaston gave him a mocking bow and went back to the cramped chair he was sitting in earlier.

Pyrrhus Cole joined him then asked the main question he actually came for..."Any Updates from Rile Kingdom?"

Gaston cleared his throat and stood upright before him like a army general ready to report to his superior, "Emm... the King of the kingdom is still trading young girls in the Kindgom as slaves and he's not ready to heed to your warning"

Without thimkig twice, Pyrrhus ordered, "Kill him"

"What?"

"I said kill him and show no mercy for men that doesn't respect women" he repeated in a commanding tone then left the shade and it's owner mouth agape.

After sometime.

Walking into his house to listen to giggles from Mila and Little Phoenix is a rare sight he was not used to.

He can't help but feel a smile crept up his face as the both of them showed affection for each other like the real mother and son.

"Mother, Father loves Cucumbers chopped in star shaped and I love the one chopped in circles" Little Phoenix chattered endlessly as they both arranged the groceries then had brought.

Mila laughed, "A grumpy person like your father knows those cute things too?"

Whispering to Mila's ear, "Father smiles secretly whenever he eats it too"

The both of them erupted in laughter. Pyrrhus also smiled at the connection and bond they had both shared within such a short period of time.

If only Mila could turn to Diane, Phoenix's real mother and witness her son's happy face, then she would have been so happy.

He felt sad as he remembered this, then Mila turned towards him and saw him with his head bowed.

"Hey, Pyrrhus have you had dinner yet? What Shall prepare?" She called snapping him out of his sadness world.

"Oh yes, you can prepare anything edible" He murmured and walked over looking at the contents on ground.

"I don't know you brought so much" he muttered again.

Mila looked at him with a mischievous smile on her face, "Hey talk nicely will you? It's not as if nice words will kill you"

Pyrrhus frowned and grabbed Little Phoenix's hands, "Take the groceries to the kitchen and prepare dinner, Little Phoenix will come with me, it's time for his lessons"

Mila nodded, Pyrrhus Cole watched her walked towards the kitchen with her shiny long black hair dangling down her waist.

He smiled simply, Gaston is right, She was indeed very beautiful.

"Why are you looking at mother, father?" Little Phoenix asked.

Subconsciously, he replied, "Mother is very beautiful Phoenix, I just saw that today"
