Chapter 16 - Sweet home 1

the sounds of horses running through the woods and kicking birds away from the forest filled the place!

"Queen Victoria pls stop!"

the guards and prince Philip tried following up...but I kept speeding rashly!

no, I won't stop now when I'm this close. I do what I want..enough orders!

they all tried to catch up all shouting from behind "queen Victoria!...."

a guard crossed the others with his horse he started catching up with me

"queen pls slow down!!"

I started feeling anxious but this won't stop me.

he tried to grab the horse's rope but he lost his concentration on the road trying to catch it which only burdened his speed...!

the horse speeded up well thanks to my weight.

they continued chasing and chasing I only looked forward I didn't care about what was going on behind me, I had to arrive there today!

"xhkfkfn@"

prince Philip came from no were stopped his horse in front of me when my speed was very high. I tried to stop my horse without falling or crashing into him, and all you can hear then was horse neighs.....prince Philip's horse started to go reckless...my horse lift a pair of his foot but I managed to hold on tight until all the horses settled and calmed down.

the guards from behind stopped ...I was surrounded by the guards who were looking around themselves in disbelief!... I had no way out.

"no need to take this any further queen Victoria"

you can sense victory in his voice!

"look behind you prince Philip...it's Austria!...perhaps? are you suggesting going back until the sun rises?"

I had that look of mockery with this prideful smile.

you can see the flame in his eyes!

he was speechless!

it started getting dark. I wouldn't make it in the carriage..thank god I took that risk!

"send a messenger... the rest of the guards shall shift guard the maids and they shall rest in the villa until the morning then ride them safely here"

I ordered another guard while looking at disgusting prince Philip.

the guard left delivering my message.

I couldn't lose this chance, I'm sorry Laura...

I started riding the horse once more to enter the kingdom...the other guards followed me...I passed prince Philip who was burning with fire...holding his horse's rope tight as he was taking his anger on it..Do whatever u want I just don't want to see your face in front of me!

....

at the palace's prison

they dragged Peter into the prison through darkness the cells were on his left ....the smell was stinging!

"peter?... Peter is that you!"

a man started to hit his cell hardly.

"lord Albert what happened to you and your voice!!"

Peter was astonished...Albert's face was red and full of bruises! and his voice was strange!

the guard held Peter and pushed him forward peter tried to look at lord Albert while he struggled in the guard's grip.

"my lord what happened??"

"the queen is in danger!...she is in danger.." lord Albert shouted.

they pushed Peter forward when

another guard opened Albert's cell and another two guards followed him they gripped lord Albert and held his tongue...after the other guard heated his sword on the candle...he put it on lord Albert's tongue!

screams....screams it's all screams!

"Aaah...aaaa"

"no!! my lord!!! what have you done to happen!!! leave me!!! not"

.....

at the rural area where the maids stayed in a villa on a farm there.

they were enjoying their stay, the food beds and baths

maid 1: "I would say queen Victoria would be a perfect queen but not a perfect wife to poor prince Philip"

maid 2: "I wouldn't like prince Philip as a king, he wants everything to go his way!...he treats the guards harshly!"

maid 3: "I say the opposite he would be a great king the most handsome of them all!"

they laughed but not for long they were interrupted by these words that made them shiver.

"do you want your tongues ripped off?!"

she shut them all!

they had almost forgotten about her, Laura was sitting them in the corner all along when they knew she was always here they were speechless and one by one they started getting out of the room she was in!

you can feel that ANGER!

Laura was sitting on the floor having this resentful look on her!

that was no poor Laura!
