After the whole incident ended, Kasren left only a handful of man to create a base near the port. Everyone else departed. Yezra's also went to their territory. Yyuer and Kasren were riding their horse next to each other. Ever since they were kids, they didn't like to sit on the carriage while travelling.
Kasren were looking at Yyuer with sad eyes. He didn't want her to notice that but it was impossible for him to hide that from her.
Yyuer: Are you still thinking about that incident your highness?
Kasren: You can talk with me normally when we are alone Yyuer.
Yyuer: We are not alone. There are soldiers around us.
Kasren: Most of them know our relationship. There is no need for you to speak coldly with me.
Yyuer: You didn't answer.
Kasren: There is not a single day that I don't think about it.
Yyuer: I don't want you to hurt your mind because of that. Its all in the past.
Kasren: I will find a way.
Yyuer: You should just stop thinking.
Kasren: I will definitely find a way.
Yyuer: I know, I know. I trust you.
Kasren: Thank you for everything.
Yyuer: You are welcome. Even though you always carry that cold face, you are still a child.
Kasren: You are not that older than me Yyuer.
Yyuer smiled to him. He felt so happy after seeing that. It was a long time since she smiled like that.
Yyuer: Yes, I am not that older.
An arrow interrupted the conversation. It came with a high speed. Its obvious that archers shoot them from a long distance.
Kasren shouted.
Kasren: Hold your positions. Its an ambush. They are in the hill.
Archers were shooting without stopping. Some of the soldiers died on the spot. Some of them wounded. They were shooting so accurately. Suddenly a deadly arrow shoot. It wounded Kasren's right arm. He screamed for a bit but didn't make it last long. He was trying to encourage his man. This continued for half an hour. After that, arrows stopped. Archers disappeared like they weren't be in here in the first place.
Kasren ordered his man to carry wounded soldiers to a safe position. There were so many wounded and even death soldiers. Nobody were speaking. It was their first shock, first defeat. Kasren were blaming himself a lot but didn't want to lose composure.
After stabilizing the army, he gathered his commanders for a discussion.
