Chapter 43 - The Princess with the unusual Heartbeat

The carriage keeps moving as Anastasia and the princess engaged in a friendly conversation while Lucas just stared quietly at them. Meanwhile, Diana and Lex were getting closer to an inn as they suddenly heard loud screams coming from the direction of a nearby riverbank …. They both ran towards the direction of the voices as they see a group of barbarians trying to harass a lady. They've just murdered her husband and about to harass her as Lex and Diana came to her rescue.

Lex exclaimed…. Why don't you pick on someone your own size!.... They look quite tuff. Who are they? Diana panicking. They're Barbarians! Bunch of hooligans without regards for human lives! Stay close to me Diana. They're very dangerous... Leader of the Barbarians angry as he aimed his big strong axe at Lex but he dodges as an immerse battle broke out between them.

Diana tries to help the helpless lady up her feet as four barbarians suddenly surrounded her and about to attack them both. Almost immediately, a muscular man with strong built Physique appeared in the arena. He attacks the barbarians and knocks them off at once with his sword. Diana mesmerized. Woah! Who are you? You saved our lives. Thank you.

Lex had eliminated the Last of the barbarians who's the leader of the group, as he smiled in satisfaction and return to the others.... Surprised. Lancelot! They both embraced each other. Diana confused. What's going on? .... Do you know each other? We're childhood friends. Declared Prince Lex. My Aunt Vivian is a close friend of the Queen, 'his mum'…. Diana surprised. He's a prince? He nodded. Yes, he is. His Father is the ruler of Dorillas...

I've heard so much about your Kingdom, 'Your Highness'. She bows... It's an honor to meet such a noble prince ….. Prince Lancelot smiled. It's an honor to meet a beautiful lady like you, 'my lady'. He kisses the back of her palm politely. The helpless lady who they've just saved bows to them. Thanks for saving my life strangers. I believe you belong to families of noble birth. My husband had just been killed by those barbarians... It's hurts my heart to witness several death and harassment which had been happening of recent but out King is less concerned about our safety.

I wish they were men like you who could protect us from these monsters. Did you just say, my father is aware that his kingdom is under the threat of this Barbarians and he had never addressed the issue or sought for help? Asked Prince Lancelot. The woman nodded. Yes, 'My lord'…. Now my husband is dead, I have nowhere else to go….. She begins to tear up as Lancelot comforts her. It's going to be alright, 'Madam'. You will come with us to the castle and I will speak to the King on your behalf…. She bows. I don't deserve this much kindness from you, 'your Highness'. You're my subject and as such, it's my duty to protect you. He declared….. Diana smiled. He's really a kind soul and quite fit for the throne. She mutters quietly.

Some guards from the castle showed up at the riverbank as they bowed. Greetings, 'Your Highness'….. Why are you here? Said Lancelot… We were ordered by 'His Majesty' to come fetch you, 'Your highness'. His Majesty declared, there will be guests coming to the castle and you must be present when they arrive….. Tell my father, 'the King', I will join him shortly and also, there's someone important I will like to introduce him to. Your priority right now, is you take this woman with you (he pointed at the lady they just saved) and make her feel comfortable at the castle….. The lady makes a bow….. Please, 'Your Highness', I ask for your permission to go bury my dead husband before appearing at the castle?

Prince Lancelot replied. As you wish, 'Madam'. I've instructed my guys to ensure your safety and make sure you're well taken care of.... Thank you, 'Your Highness'. She answered. I will never forget your kindness. The guys picked up her dead husband as she left the riverside with them.
