The next day Clara went to Athena temple escorted by guards, Clara went into the temple, and the guards waited outside at the door. Clara was doing his works in the temple usually, and then a cart arrived, bringing offerings and decorative. Clara, who is in servant dress, slowly moved to the cart, then got into the card and hid behind the wooden boxes. The peasant boy loaded the empty boxes and started to ride the cart. The guards at the entrance didn't check the carriage as it was used to carry temple goods. The peasant boy road through the villages and enters the forest; then, he listens to the voice.

"Rode to the mountains," Clara said. The peasant boy halts the cart and turns the backside by listening to the voice. He is stunned by looking at, princess.

"Your highness what are you doing in my cart," the peasant boy asked.

"it's my wish I am your princess and this my kingdom I can be everywhere," Clara replied.

"Yes, your highness this cart is yours's but I heard that king instructed you stay in the fort. I can't ride you to the mountains I can't violate king's order", the peasant boy said.

"Is it? He is king to you but for me he is father, so he acknowledges my words more than yours's. If you didn't take me to the mountains, I will tell to my father that you have abducted me", Clara replied.

"don't do that your highness I will act as you like," the peasant boy said.

"Ride to the mountains," Clara said.

"What happened your highness," the peasant boy said.

"I will ride the cart, I loved to ride the horse in the morning," Clara said.

"But your highness you can't ride a cart, it is not suitable for your majesty," the peasant boy said.

"But now I'm just a servant to Athena and this is a temple cart so no issue just get down I will ride," Clara said.

"As you desire your highness," the peasant boy replied.

Clara started to ride the cart through the forest. The peasant boy sat in the cart. Clara is riding the horse as a proficient; the boy is shocked by her riding skills. After a while, they have arrived in the mountains. Clara jumped down through the horse, and her face was so cheerful to see the mountains and waterfalls. She ran through the grass and then dived into the water, swimming for a while. At the same time, the peasant boy is in tension and peeking around so that no one will notice the princess. After a while, Clara came out of the water; she was soaked. The peasant boy gave a cloth to dry her hair. The princess dried her hair and sat near the waterfalls and the peasant boy.

"Your highness why king ordered you to remain in fort and I watched in the morning they were guards at the temple entrance," the peasant boy asked.

"At the eastern tower someone attempted to assault me until unless my father captures the culprits ordered me to stay in fort and positioned a guard for me," Clara said.

"Ride me to the temple fast," Clara said.

"But your highness you were soaked," the peasant boy replied.

"I can handle just go and prepare the cart we are departing now," Clara said.

The peasant boy went to the cart and organized it for the journey. Princess Clara arrived and was seated in the cart with soaked clothes.

"It's too late ride fast," Clara said.

"As you say your highness," the peasant boy replied.

The peasant boy rides the cart at full speed; after a while, he stops the coach at a house in the middle of the farm.

"Why did you stop here," Clara asked.

"It is my home your highness, I need to load the goods for the temple," the peasant boy replied.

"Ok hurry up," Clara said.

"Ok, your highness," the peasant boy replied.

The peasant boy started to pack the goods into the cart, then a oice was heard from the house, a little girl rushed into the boy, "Argus, were my flowers?" the little girl asked. Clara hid behind the cart by seeing the girl, and signed not to reveal her identity.

"Ok let me check the cart," the guard said. As soon as Argus listened to the words, he got trembled; Clara started to sweat in fear as the guard walking into the backside of Argus's body began to shiver in fear.

"Hector comes here," the other guard called. Hector stopped checking the cart and went away. Argus and Clara felt relaxed; the guards signaled to go; quickly, Argus started to ride the horse. As soon as they crossed the gate, Argus sawed a head hanging through the inner gate argus got tense by seeing the lead all the people gathered and watching the head and murmuring Argus slowly rode the horse throw the people. Clara watching the head from the gap between the drums, realized that he was the one who tried to kill her.
