Chapter 42 - The princess with the unusual heartbeat

Anastasia, Lucas, Diana and Lex go in search of an inn as they split up into two groups. Anastasia and Lucas walked opposite direction from Lex and Diana. I'm surprised you decided to come with me, 'Your Highness'…. Anastasia smiled. Lex could be a pain in the ass some times..... Lucas answered with a smile. Isn't it the reason why you find him attractive? They've walked for a long distance when they sighted a royal carriage moving towards their direction. Anastasia smiled…. Isn't today our lucky day... Let's stop the carriage, Lucas. Whoever is inside the carriage could be of help to us. As you wish, 'Your Highness'...… Just as the carriage is getting quite closer, Lucas jumped towards the front of the carriage and blocked it path. The rider immediately comes to a halt. We need your help! Exclaimed Lucas as some minutes later, a very beautiful lady walked down from the carriage and approaches him. Lucas astounded by her beauty. How may I be of help to you, 'My lord?' The beautiful lady smiled as Lucas couldn't stop staring at her dazzling beauty…. He stammers…..i..i…. we will be grateful if you take us on a ride to a famous inn in the city, 'my lady'. We're travelers and we seek for refuge... added Anastasia who approaches them. The beautiful lady answered. I wish I could be of help to you but I'm afraid, I can't. Why so? Asked Anastasia. I'm also a stranger in this Kingdom and about to be betrothed to prince Lancelot. Anastasia smiled. You mean you're betrothed to the son of King Gaius. Wow! Amazing and congratulations dear.

The beautiful lady curious. Do you know about the Prince of Dorillas? Of course, I do. She smiled. My dad and King Gaius use to be very close acquittance. My dad does visit the kingdom of Dorillas quite often because of their close relationship. Even now, they're still best friends. If not for my illness, I know my dad would have married me off to his son, Prince Lancelot. Permit me to ask, 'My lady' what kind of man is the Prince of Lancelot? I've only met him once but I fell in love with him at first sight. He's a good sword's man and an amazing hunter too. She smiled. Both of our parents agreed to this marriage but not sure about the prince's feelings for me. I only met him at a contest where he defeated the strongest warrior in our kingdom but my dad had to force him to marry me according to the rules of our Kingdom. Whoever wins the contest of the most elite, will have to marry me, the princess.... Anastasia surprised. You're also a princess? She nodded. Yes. I'm the princess of the neighboring Kingdom, Camelot. You can call me Gwen .... Since you're friends of the royal family, I can give you a ride to the castle. She smiled. I will like some acquittance since it's a long journey from here. Anastasia answered. We would have loved to come with you but we can't leave without our friends. Then, how about we go look for your friends together, then I can take you all on a ride to the castle? Anastasia smiled. You're very generous princess. Alright 'My lady'. I will lead the way. said Lucas.
