__Malik
Early on a misty morning, close to the kingdom walls inside the forest, a group of 4 important werewolfs hid behind small bushes going over their plan for the last time.
Malik spoke * alright everyone, we know the plan its simple, as soon as the princess comes this way Ray will create the distraction and hunter will bring the princess to us, then me and jack ( another member of the hunters ) will talk to her and make sure she's convinced enough to come see us again, we do this fast * they answered * yes sir * and swiftly they all head to their position, malik whispers to hunter * be careful son * * I will...you too dad * Hunter replied.
__ king Travis
Like usual, king Travis was outside with a lot of guards ready to go jogging, Anthony walks up to him right before they took off, bowing his head a little he spoke * are you sure about going jogging after what happened yesterday...your majesty*
King Travis huff and reply * Anthony, I understand you worry for me but do not forget, I am your king and you my general, you have no right to tell me what I should or shouldn't do, questioning my decisions *
Bowing his head low Anthony gritted out * forgive me your majesty, I have crossed my line, it shall never happen again...your majesty * the king simply nods before heading off, leaving Anthony still bowing his head, he whispers ever so silently * my time will come....and you will bow to me..* taking a deep breath, he fixed his expression and followed after the king.
__hunter
Crunching behind well hid bushes the werewolfs finally heard heavy footsteps coming their direction, Ray shifted to his wolf form and was ready leap out any moment to distract the guards and the king when hunter whistles loudly, to any other person the whistle sounds like that of an owl but to the werewolfs its a signal of retreat.
In a clearing away from the kingdom walls the werewolfs gathered, and were bambering hunter with questions * Why did you do that?!* * What happened?!* * did they spot us!? * malik silence them * enough...hunter? * hunter was given a chance to answer * I called retreat because the princess did not come with them, she wasn't among them, and without our target there was no reason to carry on with the plan...I am sorry I crush our hopes *
Jack spoke first * well...its a disappointment she didn't come but hey...she could come tomorrow * ray added * or not* malik sighs then spoke * it is okay hunter, things like these happen all the time* hunter perk up * really? * *No* malik assured making hunter chuckle a bit, he continue * we did not complete our mission today but we will, the ball is very close maybe that's why the princess didn't come along, so let's wait till after the ball, then we try again, but for now let's head back home where its safe* they all agreed and head back, on their way Malik asked hunter * didn't you ask safia about the princess going jogging?* hunter answered * no I didn't, because I didn't tell her i saw the princess the other day* malik asked * But why not tell her? * answered hunter * because she would ask why I was out that early* malik replied * you could tell her you went jogging too* hunter points out * but why hide when I saw the king * malik realized *yeah ...good point *.
__safia
* What were those soldiers doing out so late? Did the king assign them? It disturbs me. I can't ask anyone for fear of risking my little secret bubble, but I heard Anthony's voice. I'm...not sure, it might be the strong wind but still I..* ouch! Safia cried out loud, * I'm so sorry my princess I..* * its okay..continue *
Safia sat in that pink room in the palace on a stool in front of the mirror, the room now called her dress up room, the head stylist was doing safia's hair and accidentally yanked it hard, snapping safia out of her thoughts which made her cry out.
Safia sighs then spoke * I don't understand, why do my hair now when the ball isn't today or even tomorrow? * the blond woman cheerfully explains * because today we are just practicing the hair styles so that when the actual ball arrives we'd be able to get you all doll up In a jiffy, after all you are the crown princess and you'll receive only the very best from us stylers * unable to match her energy, safia just gave her a small smile as she continued to happily do safia's hair.
Safia continued her thoughts * If only those soldiers hadn't interrupted our meeting last night, because of them now the lake has become dangerous with the possibility of them coming back but then....where would we meet!...no don't overthink safia, the forest is huge we'd surely find another secret spot. Might not be as beautiful as the lake but it'd just have to do..*
And it is now clear, they must be couscous for they are not the only ones in the forest at night.
__sir Anthony
everyone is busy with preparations for the upcoming ball, but sir Anthony is busy for a different reason, currently he's now in a pitch black room located at the second floor in the palace, the room is simple, just a single couch, a fireplace, one big window that has a magnificent view on the inside of the kingdom, and a small table close to the couch, soft carpet spread on the rooms floor, the room has no bed, drawer or any other thing, and Anthony made it like that because he holds complete ownership of the room ( its not his bedroom o )
Anthony was yelling at a mail delivery boy who looked out of his wits with fear.
* are you mocking me! I already gave him TWO werewolves and now he wants F##ING FIVE!! * Anthony angrily threw the scroll at the boy hitting him on the shoulder, the boy sobs, rolling his eyes anthony murterd * what a weakling ..*
Taking a deep breath Anthony sat on the single couch in the room, spreading a clean scroll on the table, he dipped the pen in the ink and started writing a small reply that goes like..
Greetings my prince
I am informing you with a heavy heart, that I couldn't find another werewolf, those things are very sneaky indeed and we merely got lucky the other time. But you shall not worry my prince, I will handle everything here, and I'll make sure I give you a werewolf soon.
you just come to the ball and don't forget our plans, we are partners after all.
yours humble,
Sir Anthony Green.
Folding the scroll he stood and walk towards the mail boy who quickly got up and stood straight, head bowed, Anthony hand the scroll to him and instruct * you shall deliver this immediately without any stops to iron city, and return immediately, don't wait to collect his reply * the boy nodded and hurriedly ran out.
Anthony then walked to the big window, pushing the curtains aside a little allowing for a small ray of light into the dark room, he absentmindedly gaze down at the kingdom as his thoughts took us back to how he became partners with the crown prince of iron city, prince liam white.
