"Yes, I did, but he ran that way," the girl added with an authoritative tone. "He was carrying a scary knife, so I didn't run after him. Besides, the maze seemed tricky so I didn't take any risk of getting lost. You guys should go and catch him before he flees."
The men nodded and quickly ran in the opposite direction of the maze as was instructed by their princess.
"You can come out now," the girl called out as soon as all of the men left. "Follow me. I'll help you get out."
The boy stepped out of the bushes and looked at Raine in disbelief, "Why exactly did you do that? Why are you helping me?"
The girl's lips curved into a blinding smile as she winked, "Because I like your hair and find your eyes fascinating. Your eyes are very complicated, and I'm finding it hard to tell if you are a human or a monster. In case you don't know, I love complicated things. "
