As they approached closer to the castle Raphael and Knox both noticed people running out towards the dense forest located in the back. Logan had instructed them to check it out and they did as he asked. They road their horses towards the people mainly scaring them off but they managed to cut off a young lady before she escaped into the forest. Once she knew she was cut off she dropped the valuables on the floor and began to pled for her life while tears rushed down her cheeks scaring the twin brothers.
PLEASE I BEG YOU DON'T KILL ME. The scared young lady cried out as she fell to her knees pleading the young men on the horses.
We aren't here to kill you. If I wanted you dead, I would have killed you the moment I saw you. Knox said in a serious tone as his deep voice suddenly cracked as he was becoming nervous due to the woman's frantic pleads for her life.
Ms. would you please get up we aren't here to hurt you. Raphael said as he jumped off his horse hitting his brother on the leg as he made his way towards the lady. He squatted down, carefully raising his hand to raise the young lady head up so they could meet eyes. "Sorry for my brother's cruel words, he usually isn't this way I promise". "We are here to kill the king no one else". He said casually as he smiled at her, only sending more fear to her. She began to cry frantically again.
Why don't you shut up Raphael, it looks like your ugly face is scaring the woman more. He said chuckling as he brother glared at him wanting no more than to tackle him in that moment.
No you shut up Knox, do you really think this beautiful face could possibly scare any woman away. Raphael said proudly as he showed his million dollar smile that seem to shine so brighter than usual. He suddenly look back towards the woman who was sitting there looking confused she didn't know if she should fear her life of laugh. She let a small chuckle out at his response causing both brothers to focus on what they had originally came over for.
Ms. do you mind me asking what exactly are you doing out here and with these objects in hand. I believe these belong to the castle don't they. Knox asked as he jumped off the horse and walked towards the objects that had been thrown on the floor. He picked it up seeing the Fallen Kingdom emblem graved into it and it made him wonder more as to what exactly happened here.
The woman then realized that she could be in trouble for stealing from the royal family. Her face turned white as snow as all color seemed to wash off her face. She sat there frozen in time as all the ideas of how she could be killed ran through her mind.
Knox and Raphael both looked at her and then at each other confused as to what had happened to her. Knox waved his hand in front of her face to bring her back from her thoughts. Excuse me Ms. he deep voiced said as she felt a slight breeze cross her face from him waving his hand. She came back to reality only to be met with both men squatting down in front of her, looking at her with curious eyes.
Ummm what was the question again? I didn't quite hear you the first time as all the ideas of how I could possibly be killed came into mind, do you mind repeating the question she asked in a soft tone twirling her fingers in the air. It reminded the boys of a little girl as her actions caused them both to let out a small laugh.
Well we were wondering what exactly is going on here why did all those people coming running out holding objects from the castle at hand? Are you okay? he asked as he raised his hand to caress her face, it had caught the woman off guard which made her blush turning her face a bright red color almost like a tomato. Are you okay you seemed to be heating up and turning red? He asked really concerned as he pulled his hand away from the young lady cheek. Once again she was taken aback but this time she was able to answer the question.
Well I was ordered to get as many servants out the castle and for us to grab any objects of value so that we could escape the tragic end that was to come when the knights in black were to appear. She said then looked up realizing that the knights in black were in front of her, She then pleaded for her life once again. "Please don't kill me, I beg of you", her cry's were heard all the to Logan and in that moment he sent Loki to go handle the situation as the twins failed tragically. Logan sighed in disappointment he lowered his heading only imaging what those two told that poor woman.
Loki road towards the twins stopping behind them, but they were panicking trying to stop the woman from crying so they were unaware of the danger behind them. That's when they suddenly felt a dark presence coming from behind them. The two stopped with their pleads aware of the aura that sent shivers down their spine they knew exactly who it was. The two turned to each other afraid to look behind them and counted down from three and upon reaching one they jumped behind the woman to escape the man behind them. But with their sudden jump Loki raised his hands bringing them down with a lot of force striking the twins on their heads causing them to fall from the strike sending pain over their heads. Loki then squatted down raising the weeping woman head slightly up offering an apology to her from the two knuckleheads that had bothered her. She soon stopped crying wiping all her tears off her cheeks. He then stood up extending his arm towards her to help her up. She accepted placing her tiny hand in his rough big hand. Upon standing she suddenly tripped as one of her legs had fallen asleep. Loki was able to catch her by bringing her closer to his chest, causing them to both blush as Loki was awkward around woman, and her being surprised by his actions. They soon separated when the twins cleared their throats making them realize that they weren't alone.
Do you guys want us to leave yall alone? Knox said raising an eyebrow towards Loki
Do you need a room for privacy? Raphael teased as he and Knox shrugged their shoulders questioning while given each other quite a laugh. Their laughs were echoed that even Logan could hear them.
Keep it up you too before I give you each a knuckle sandwich, he said glaring at them both. The young woman chuckled at the show that was happening in front of her. Then all three turned to her. Causing her to stiffen up immediately, she kept forgetting that those men would be the end of her life if she ticked them off. She began to sweat profusely as she had gotten nervous again she suddenly looked down feeling the eyes all on her.
What is your name Loki asked raising up a brow in curiosity.
My name is Ren, Ren Nichols I am a maid at the king palace. She said as she bowed towards the men.
Well I am Knox this is my twin brother Raphael and the man who you were hugging up on is Loki were are the Murder of Crows from the Aleinva Empire we are here to take over the palace and land as we have defeated the Fallen Kingdoms army. Would you mind showing us the way to the King office? Knox asked as he gave lady Ren a genuine smile. She nodded in response leading the men to the main entrance up the stairs to the King's office which is where they presumed he would be at given that the King himself did not confront them at the gate with his Knights at hand.
She paused at the door with her hand extending close to the knob, when she suddenly turned to the prince's and fellow knights. Unaware of what was behind that door.
