I didn't think it would be difficult to get out of town. I had carefully memorized all the routes we were going to take and I was sure that the soldiers wouldn't dare go into the forest. They must have known the creatures lurking there.
No one suspected us as we made our way toward the town. The soldiers accepted us as ordinary members of society, which made it easy for us to move through the town unnoticed. The prince's plan was working perfectly.
But my feet were killing me. It was my first time wearing high heels and I had trouble walking in them. I didn't want to wear them, but we had to be careful and blend in. So I put on high heels as the prince told me to.
When the prince realized I was having difficulty walking, he gently took my arm and whispered so that only I could hear: "Let me help you."
I whispered back: "Do ı really need to do that? These heels are so tight and I want to take them off."
