"What is?" The King instinctively grabbed his daughter by the shoulders, searching her face for any injuries whatsoever.
Elena, who suddenly appeared too scared to continue speaking, pointed in Hillary's direction.
Hillary raised an eyebrow.
' Me?' She thought. ' Am I getting framed for helping out?'

"She saved me from death. I do not know who planned to kill me but, she did something and brought me here immediately," Elena rushed over her words.
Still with wide eyes, the King walked up to the maid.
"What happened?" His commanding tone demanded an immediate and straightforward answer.
"An archer was about to kill her through the window when I caught sight of him," She simply answered.
"How did you save my daughter?" King Rufus continued with the questions. It was quite obvious that a ' thank you ' was not going to come out of his mouth anytime soon.
