"Bring the culprit in," a voice ordered in the court.
Everyone's eyes, including the Princess's, moved to the double doors so they could watch as they brought the culprit in.
It was merely out of curiosity and nothing more but as soon the double doors were pushed open and she saw who was being dragged by the guards with chain all over his hands and legs, she felt her heart drop to her stomach.
Her eyes were widened and all of a sudden, she could no one but the prisoner who was being dragged into the room.
Only one thought registered in her head at the moment.
She had to get out of here!
Her body responded before her mind and she was about to get up from the chair and run away from the room when she felt a tight grip on her hand.
She turned to her side to meet her mother holding her down sternly.
"What is it, Princess? Where do you think you are going?" the Empress asked, almost in a taunting way.
