It was almost an hour that had passed, when Eiana's carriage reached near the palace. She took her head out of the window slightly and saw that the many guards were out of the castle. She didn't need to waste any of her brain cells to know that, everyone was looking at her.
Soon enough, after a minute, as the carriage neared to the castle, it was stopped by some guards. And Eiana heard on of them questioning the coachman about who is inside the carriage. Just when Eiana was about to get down the carriage, she heard the neighing of horses. She peeked out of the window again and saw that it was her elder brother, Prince Gideon and second brother, Prince Arthur.
Just by looking at them, she knew that they are returning after serching for her. Eiana was surprised to think that even they both couldn't find her, when she and Darius were openly roaming around in the town for almost a good three to four hours.
Gideon got off his horse and came to the guards and asked, "What is happening here? " Hearing his ice like cold voice, even the guards went stiff, much less the poor coachman who got goosebumps all over and his heart started shivering! The guards knew that the King and the Princes were in a hell- mode angry right now, after the Princess went missing.
Gideon turned to the coachman and directed a question to him, "Have you seen the Princess anywhere today? "
The Coachman gulped and replied stammeringly, "P-Pardon me, Your.. H.. Highness, But this humble subject has never seen Her Highness, The Princess. S.. So, I would not be able to recognize her. "
Gideon took a deep breath and said, " She is a true beauty, with silver hairs and deep blue eyes. " He said out her striking features, as not many people were fortunate enough like his sister to have those outworldly features.
By the time, Arthur too got down his horse and came to stand beside them. If one was a calm, cold and dangerous prince, the other one was the total opposite, wild -like beast who is binded with shakles.
After hearing the Crown Prince's words, the Coachman blinked. Why did their description match so much with.... Didn't a beauty same like her is in my carriage right now..?
But before he could run the horses of his brain and tell anything to them, the carriage's door opened and Eiana jumped of it. Before anyone could think anything, the culprit because of whom the whole palace was in chaos and who had disrupted the peace of the palace was standing there in front of them.
Gideon and Arthur looked at her with their jaws hanging and almost touching the ground. They had just returned from their search and they could guarantee that, they had almost searched two -three towns thoroughly, yet they didn't get her. And now she is here...? But they soon kicked out that thing out of their brains as the most important thing was that their sister was safe and sound.
It was eerily silent as the night there. One could only make out everything from the light coming from the flaming torches. The guards waited there in silence. They didn't know why but suddenly they felt so emotional that their Princess had returned. Though, quite troublesome sometimes, she was still their beloved. Everyone was scared and worried when they heard that she had supposedly eloped from her wedding.
Gideon and Arthur looked at their troublesome little sister, who always was jumping around to create new troubles every now and then. And this time, it really had their hearts in their hands.
They said nothing and just stared at her in silence, while they swallowed the lump in their throats, and their suppressing the numbness in their noses.
