171 Unexpected Occurrence

The arrow just passed the side of my face and I heard its whistle.

I turned around fast and tried to stop the arrow but my magic isn't working. I see Regaelon was struck by the arrow on his chest. I see him fall down on his knees.

"NOOOO!!!" I shouted in agony. It felt like my heart had burst open, it felt so painful.

"You really are something." Gladiolus said with a smirk. "You evaded the arrow that was about to strike your heart. But no matter, because you will fall down by my sword."

Regaleon was still breathing but heavily. I can see blood coming out from his mouth. Hope blossomed in my heart. The arrow didn't hit his heart. Regaleon looked my way and our eyes met. He gave me a comforting smile and worded me something.

"I love you." Regaleon said. I might not have heard his word because of the distance but I read his lips say that.
