And as expected, Samuel did fall into the sweet words trap laid by the cunning princess. not to mention, her fairy-like appearance never fails to create wonders, especially when she blinked her light blue eyes.
Samuel instantly opened the door for her and also helped her to choose the food, by holding a fire burner to her and suggested her a tone of delicacies.
" My lady ... you must eat more wet food than the dried once. " he couldn't help but recommend when, he saw that she was picking up all the dry food, nuts, and fruits.
Eiana went stiff for a moment. Then she turned around and smiled sweetly, and said," Umm.. actually I am having cravings to eat this." And she returned to doing what she was doing. Of course, as a princess, she is not that accountable to explain her actions to him, so she didn't say much. But that didn't mean she was not nervous.
Her heart was beating like crazy. Afraid that someone might suspect her and she can't run away successfully.
Samuel too nodded and didn't say much. After all, he was in no place to comment on anything. If it would have been any other royal family members, he might not have even gotten the chance to open his mouth, much less recommend something.
But this was Princess Eiana, she was sweet and kind to everyone in the palace, she talks and listens to others. That is the reason everyone likes her. And that is also the reason he had the guts to say something.
If she wants to eat that, so be it. As long as, she is satisfied!
...
After taking enough food, she walked back to her quarters. She took enough food for two days. And she didn't mind Samuel seeing that, because she knew he won't suspect anything. After all, everyone in the palace knew that their princess is a glutton, who loves to eat!
After packing the food up too, Eiana changed into pants. Because see, it is impossible to elope by wearing this long gown and corset okay.
She looked out of the window. The night was still young, so she decided to wait till midnight when half of the castle will be asleep.
....
(Midnight)
Eiana looked out of her window and saw that the castle is silent.
Time for action!!!!
She had already prepared a long rope with the bedsheets, a typical tool used by all the female leads in fairy tales while eloping, that she has read till now!
But poor her, when she glanced down from her window, her legs trembled. Though her room was not that high from the ground, barely one floor high, still she was too nervous today.
After glancing left and right, when she saw that there is no one present there she slowly threw her hand-made sheet rope out of the window.
After securing it properly, she slowly climbed out of the window, and without much hassle, within a few seconds, her feet were able to touch the ground.
She looked at her surroundings proudly and thought, 'Look, that's the benefit when you go training with your brothers.. and not play with dolls for the whole day... haha.. "
Eiana for once thought to take the 'rope' with her too, but then it was secured to the door of her room. How can she take it?
Ah, forget it.
Then, she slowly tiptoed to the castle gate. After all, the castle was guarded with so tall sky-touching walls that thinking about climbing the walls and running? Oh, what a delusion!
So the only way left was to go through the gate.
For the first time in her life, Eiana hated this security system!
Oh... I can't even run away in peace!!!
