The little shit had been spending all my money and was determined to make me go broke by the end of this trip. I knew i shouldn't have gotten him that rifle but damn even i had to admit it was sexy.

Now he was taking me to every single body armor shop that he saw , i guess me beating his ass really traumatized him. I really had no choice though if he told the great crown prince his highness i he would grind me to computer bits .As amazing as his highness was he had the strange habit of treating organic life better then us which i really didn't like, but meh we're all flawed in some way.

The only upside to me losing all my money was the runt couldn't even fit anything ,either he was too scrawny or short which made for great laugh material. I saw him point at some run down shop with a mask as the logo .He doesn't give up easily ill give him that but seriously stop wasting my damn time and give up already!

" you still want to go looking , well ok it just means i get to laugh more. This is the most fun I've had in years"

When we arrived at the shop i could tell why it looked like shit. A ugly ass beastkin bear female was the owner of the shop so it figured .It smelled horrible, or maybe that was farron he was still wearing that pissy clothing from earlier. I doubted he would find anything in this run down shop that was of any quality but hey if he wanted to look around I'll let him knock himself out.

They were having a conversation but i should just ignore it, i posted up on the tent fabric with my arms crossed .Im sure i looked spectacular so i didn't worry about it. Watching him dig through a barrel of trash he picked out some emerald studded ring

"bad eye but that item is trash wont even lie to you ,it makes the user able to conceal his hide smell and sound"

He looked excited , putting the ring on the table i he walked into the cloths isle coming back with some all white robe and shoes .Why all white? He did say he was going through a mid life crisis so that had to be it.

Putting the other two items on the table he looked at me like i was his piggy bank. I would be happy to make him smell less like manure and it was exceedingly cheap so i didn't have much to complain about .

He started talking to the shop keeper about his armor issue and she seemed to have something for him. When she left he opened up the book and started scribbling .He was always writing something down in that book of his, in some unknown gibberish. I hate to admit it but i kind of see why the prince added him to the equation he adapted fast and wanted to learn practically everything.

For a human he really didn't seem all that bad, I've only heard about them in our database and only ever faced them in war so maybe i was a little harsh to compare him to them. He seemed willing to not make my life hell when he really had the power to .To polite for his own good if the roles were reversed he would be suffering. I shuddered a little at the thought of his power because of the prince.

I probably was too rude but I'd never tell him that or he'd get a ego the size of a airship.

That big ass bear finally returned with a cryo-tech piece of armor model 543 that adjusted to the user. That was actually pretty rare .Feeling my pocket book about to suffer i braced for impact

"well since you're such a cutie this ones on the house"

Did that bear just call him cute? what? Did she not see and smell the runt?

He did call me sublime a few hours ago so ill just fill my head with that instead of whatever she just said .It must be hard being the only warm blooded creature for miles so maybe she was desperate.

I totally wasn't easy dropping but somewhere in their conversation i heard the ugly bitch call me a metal head

"Tch"

I wanted to cut her in two but i held back my feelings ,she should consider herself lucky that my generosity knew no bounds.

He seemed ready to go so i moved from my heroic and dashing position to finally leave this dump

Hey is there stream or river nearby any body of water will do really" - farron

Damn so close, where to now i wondered

"Yeah about 30Km from here to our east there's a large lake"

Oh he needed to eat and bathe. I doubt he could run off liquid hydrogen like i could so i would have to go lake tezamaka

He wanted me to carry him again, if i didn't know any better i would say he liked it, couldn't blame him when being held by someone as gorgeous as me .When he landed in my arms i zipped through the forest extra careful not to drop anything i paid for .It took a bout 4 hours of acrobatics to get there but i don't tire easily.

Sensing he wanted to leave i lessened my grip and he quickly went to work abusing trees. Then he disappeared off somewhere in the forest.

Then from a few feet away i heard

"Hey Gwendolyn! come close but not to close just enough to protect me if need be"

He really should call me lord savior , mph i wondered what would happened if i teased him a bit

"and if i came too close? no prince around to protect you"

Something about his dick image being permanently logged into my mind was enough to make me listen.

Taking refugee behind the tree next to his wears my mind began to compute everything that happened today. I really haven't had fun like this in a while, I'm surprised he puts up with my personality since even my peers dislike me. They hate that I'm better then them they would have to get over it , but he seemed strangely tolerant. Especially after all the things i put him through, did he really think I'm "sublime" i doubt the punk was a good liar so it had to be. i hate that i heard that, if he knew that was the only compliment i ever received i wouldn't hear the end of it not that i cared or felt anything from that

... why me

I'm starting to feel guilty... no i cant

damn I couldn't even make a excuse for why I treated him the way i did. scanning the horizon i couldn't see any danger so i guess my job is easier that previously thought. Suddenly my scanners picked up the sounds something huge and of his voice he seemed actually scared.

"GWENDOLYN COME NOW"

sigh probably stubbed his toe , better check.

My god he was naked with his man bits swinging ... and being chased by something? OH that was not a joke. Looking through the database the only thing that match's the size, color and location was a deep sea raptor... what was it doing in a lake. oh shit i wouldn't be fast enough to get there in time before i chopped the guy in half.

"THROW ME THE RIFLE NOW NOW NOW!"

Grabbing the rifle i tossed it with precision but everything was out of my hands now. I could see blood spreading from where he was , he was injured and glowing? What happened i only took my eyes off him for a few minutes.

I should've been paying more attention, I'm going to the repurposing center i already know it .I wanted to cry but i couldn't. why did get so complacent, i could've just watched him but ...

I'm arrogant... i deserve to have my parts repurposed but did the runt deserve to die. Just when we were starting to get along too.

Unbelievably farrons body started glowing purple in a blinding fashion, humans don't glow do they?

He leapt and contorted his body in a way that perfectly aligned him with my throw of the rifle. Furthermore more he clicked the safety off and smashed down on the trigger blowing the Raptor into bit sized bits. That was incredible even i wouldn't have been able to do that. Aren't Sea raptors ambush predators how did he even manage to spot it. Spot it and shoot it and kill it, it's body had numerous 20cm sized wholes all over .

WHACK

he landed back first hitting a tree right next to me, i should've caught him but i was awe struck. the only words i could manage to make were

"holy shit"

Right my job

please don't be dead, please don't be dead , i ran to him checking his pulse , which was stronger then ever ... He was bleeding from his left ankle down , i needed to dress the wound

holding him in my hands i was stunned .How did he managed to pull that off, it must have something to do with his new look. Least i can do is bandage his wound and put some cloths on him. Opening my chest i grabbed the first aid kid that the prince forced me to bring while he was knocked out earlier. He sure passes out a lot, but im assuming for a human he must be operating on full exertion.

After stitching an bandaging his leg , i injected him with a healing synthesizer. No one would know that he lost his leg but him and me. Putting his new cloths on him i just held him.. if he tells anything about what happens ill be destroyed. Farron's nice but he almost died , there's a limit to the kindness of a stranger.

Should i just run right now? that's practically the only way I'm going to survive this, he's going to tell the prince. I started sweating oil

no i cant just leave him here, plus everyone already knows he was my responsibility .Where could i go anyway.

Never in my creation did i think it would come to this but I think i would have to beg for forgiveness .It was becoming night time and i was now paying extra attention to his condition. I know humans cant be too cold so i went into a near by cave. I scouted it out and lit a fire afterword placing him back into my hands. I don't know maybe that's where i thought he was safest, in reality i already failed then there was actually danger and my memory couldn't let me forget.

A few hours later i heard him mumble something to himself then open his eyes. Should i say something or

"Thanks for saving me back there "-Farron

what!? did he not understand that i did jack shit? Wait i could use this to my advantage... no even im not that terrible . im repenting right now and hoping he doesn't tell on me .putting his head down softly on the stone .

"Hey i was happy there"-Farron

I assumed a kowtow and said

"Farron im sorry i failed you , i should've been there ... please don't tell the prince"

I've personally seen what happens to android who get their parts stripped from them and i didn't want join the ranks of the dead. I had to prepare for the worst though if he decided to do it , i could accept that but i would have to live as a wanted vagabond. I wouldn't get far at all

"get up"

looking up at him i was on my knees not daring to move , all he did was put his head back on my lap

"why would i tell the prince, calm down your freaking me out"

I was freaking him out? he was freaking me out, anyone else i knew would be delighted to have me in a position of submission , why was he not?

"but i failed you, you almost got eaten"

"depends on what you focus on"

i couldn't accept this , but before i could say anything back

"shhhhhh its ok just shhh I'm not that heartless, we all make mistakes"

that being said he just went back to sleep like nothing ever happened, like i was still worthy of being trusted with his protection .I was baffled and ashamed, mostly ashamed. we all make mistakes? what the fuck im a elite knight ,

I... just couldn't believe it "im not that heartless he says? " what did that have to do with anything. That's right he never hated Zyanites, he said that some of us killed his family .I treated him terribly and still.

I wanted to scream but couldn't wake him up. I spent the next hour replaying all of my interactions with him too relook everything. From his perspective i should be the devil but he just forgave me in a instant. My actions didn't justify his kindness... I'm horrible

Tonight i chose to make a vow. A vow to protect him regardless of the situation ,of how i feel, or how it makes me look.

To become his knight.
