Chapter 4 - Chapter three: the disturbing news

As Draco and the knights entered the castle grounds the large open square greeted them coldly, the snow on the floor untouched crunched as the horses slowly made their way to the steps leading up to the giant wooden dark oak doors, framed by the black wrought iron hinges, as the knights halted their horses the stable-hands greeted them and moved the horses away, Draco signalled his men to return to their personal quarters as he headed towards the large doors, carefully removing his helmet and slowly turning the black handle in the shape of a striking cobra as the door crept open.

"My Lord!" called Draco, his voice echoing in the hallowed halls.

No response greeted him, Sensing something could be wrong Draco unsheathed his sword and slowly made his way towards the throne room.

Closer he went towards the lavished throne doorway, the deep purple velvet padding surrounded by polished brass with ivory handles made Draco feel so small, taking a deep breath he turned the handle as the click echoed around him into the passageway behind. He entered the throne-room, the single purple rug matched the door he just entered was dwarfed by the large marble tiled floor. The end of the rugs at the three thrones, the kings in the middle, his queens - Lady Scarlett on the left and Princess Morgana's on the right.

As Draco looked around the throne room in the corner staring out the large stained glass windows designed to look like him his queen and the princess was the king staring towards the village of Thunder Falls. Draco slowly approaching the king whose hair brown hair glistened in the sun as it peered through the window, his long Purple robe matching the carpet and the door trailed behind him

"My Lord" called Draco "Another successful Mission"

The King just grunted and looked towards the thrones, Draco now confused "Is there a problem my Lord?"

The king looking over to his main guard turned and started walking "Draco my boy, haven't you heard...?" he took a deep breath "Our beautiful Princess Morgana has been taken by someone, by all accounts the castle staff think it could be the work of the dark Sorcerer Eraz."

Draco looked over to the three thrones and a tear formed in his eye. "Where is The Queen?" questioned The Dark Knight. The King just looked away towards the window and into the village of Thunder Falls.

Draco putting on his helmet watched the king with interest "My Lord, I swear I will bring her home" walking to the knights quarters to gather his noble followers for their next mission.
