Failed escape !
"It's you...."
They both exclaimed at the same time and next second they didn't know what to do . The person who tackled him was none other than Sarah which made him loss on what to do .
Sarah who pinned Aaron had blank mind now . When she was sleeping she noticed a shadow creep towards her tent which made her alarmed so she sneakily followed the figure and when she noticed that the figure was going outside their camp she immediately decided to take him down .
She thought that this person was a spy so when she tackled him down , did she saw who it was !
It was Aaron!
And why would he sneak out of the camp in middle of the night? He was even carrying his weapon and money . Is he going for hunting?
Then would he hide his face and bring money sack too?
She inwardly thought for a reason which made her anxious .
Seeing that she was still sitting on him , he coughed and said
"Sarah Can you get up now?"
This made her stood up immediately and look at him in odd tone. She then helped him to get up and said
"Lord why are you leaving the camp in middle of night ? "
As she said she looked at him directly at his eye to find out whether he is telling truth or not . He didn't know what to say so he became silent and this confirmed the thoughts of Sarah which made her speechless.
"My lord are you running away to the other kingdom ?"
Aaron hesitated for a while but soon he said
"Yeah....I was planning to leave this kingdom "
Sarah became anxious hearing this . She came here to find about her mother but if Aaron run away from here then she should return back to the kingdom to report this or else the consequences will be dire for her . So if she left this place then she will never get a change again to search for her mother .
That's why she felt anxious hearing that Aaron wanted to leave .
'No I won't let him escape'
She decided to stop him if he tried to escape again and try to make him stay until she found clues about her mother .
Aaron didn't know what's going on in the mind of Sarah so he decided to tell the truth.
"Since you are one of the noble family you should know my situation right now . If I don't escape from here and travel to other kingdoms , I will definitely die from the assassination from the royal family . So I wanted to leave and I hope that you won't stop me ".
'So that's why he was trying to escape'
Now she clearly felt that why he was so focused on escaping which made her don't know what to do !
Should she let him go since he was her superior ? Or should I just capture him and travel to the forsaken land?
Her thoughts drifted slightly and ultimately she decided to make him stay here and protect him until she found her mother . After that she will help him in escape from here and then they will separate their ways .
Deciding this she suddenly grabbed him and said with guilty tone
"I apologise for my rudeness but you have to stay here until my work is done "
Caught off guard he was easily apprehended him which made him furious . He struggled and tried to counter attack but she didn't even budge so he could only say in angry
"What is this ! Are you rebelling against my order ? "
Sarah shook her head and said with clear voice
"I know you wanted to escape but you should wait until I have found clues about my mother then I will help you escape from here or else I will tell everyone that you wanted to escape "
Hearing this he stopped struggling and asked with doubt
"So you are here to look for your mother?"
Sarah nodded her head and said coldly
"Yes "
Aaron thought for a while and helplessly said
"Fine then I will stay with you for a while but if you don't find your mother in a month then you will not stop me from leaving?"
Sarah looked at him and said slowly
"Ok I will accept your term but if you dare to try something funny then...."
As she said she cracked her fist and slightly clenched her fist which made him step back immediately .
'Damm my waist still hurts like hell'
He immediately nodded his head in agreement
"Yes ok I will definitely don't try to escape . let's go back now"
Sarah nodded her head in satisfaction and said while truning to leave
"Yeah let's go back "
Soon they followed back sneakily to the camp .They made back to their respective room while each having complex emotions . But one thing to sure between them is that they are now close and have mutual understanding of others .
He went back to sleep with bitter feeling
"It's look like my plan to escape is temporarily not possible for some time".
As he said he slept away from heavy sleep .
.....
Later morning ,
The group resumed their journey without any difficulty and soon few days passed . While traveling their bonds become stronger and now everyone admired Aaron wisdom and his behaviour .
Days passed by and time soon started to run quickly , They covered 70% of the distance within 10 days and they need 5 more days to cross the deep forest. If they don't get any obstruction by the beasts they can enter the Forsaken land easily but they need to pass the forest first which is slightly tough journey.
Aaron slowly said looking at the Deep forest with serious tone
"The journey from now on is tough and may endanger our life . We have to face unknown beast if we are unlucky but we also have to face the assassination from some people .....so we have to prepare for worst "
"Yes my lord "
Everyone was pumped up but they didn't become careless instead they become hyped up . Even the slaves had some emotions in their face which proved their positive transformation around Aaron .
He said to Sarah before going back to his carriage
"Let's go before night we have to find safe place to camp "
Soon their journey began which will be filled with killing and scheming but this didn't made them back down but instead they marched fearless .
The land of forsaken we are coming!
