Chapter 14 - The journey

I turned to grandpa and Jamie, and I saw how devastated and broken they are. My heart can't bear to see the pain they are going through. but I have to go in other for them to live.

It's not their fault that my life is jeopardize like this. I am paying for the horrible things I did to him.

I know Alexander is back to make me pay for what I did him, but I won't let my family pay for it, I am the guilty one here.

" Am sorry father....am sorry grandpa and Jamie, it's better I go alone at least one day I might come and visit you " I cried saying my good byes to them hugging them one after the other before going out.

When I got outside I saw a very beautiful carriage decorated with many flowers of different colours. It's the most beautiful carriage I have ever seen.

" Not bad Alex... beautifying me before deaths.. excellent " I praised his sense of humor.

" You may go in my lady " Leon gesture her to go in.

" I haven't packed my luggage yet " I complained avoiding his face. His face is the last thing I want to see right now. I trusted him, and even took him as my friend but he hurt me so much like my life doesn't matter to him

" Don't worry my lady, your luggage are inside the carriage." Leon replied

" Oh wow...full plan proof, I have been living with the devil this whole time and I don't know about it , he even knows where my things are you should have just kill me the moment you got your chance but no...he wants me to die a painful death" she murmured and climb the carriage sitting down.

I was waiting for them when I saw Lydia and Leon coming with other men climbing their horse while some don't have a horse.

" I thought we agreed that Lydia is not coming with us but only me " I ask angrily

" We didn't agreed on anything, the journey is far and there are no female with us to tend to your needs " Leon said not taking a glance at and Jane didn't either.

" I can take care of myself " she argued

" Please let me come with you , I can't let you go all alone " Lydia pleaded

" Fine,. but if anything happens to you am going to kill you " Jane threatened

" Thank you princess " Lydia happily climb the carriage while Leon ride them.

" Are you okay my princess, are you hurt ? " Lydia asked checking her out.

" Am fine don't worry about me, and thanks for the bravery you display few minutes ago, you are a true friend "

" Am sorry princess, it's all my fault . I shouldn't have trusted him with your protection " Lydia sadly apologize

" No is not your fault,it's my selfishness that put me in this situation "

" Don't be sad . I believe whatever you did was for the better, but what are we going to do now " Lydia cheered her up.

" I will just wait to see what fate has in store for me " Jane replied

" You are like an elder sister to me , I have no one to call my own but ever since you came, you filled up the empty space in me, so can you please stop saying your problem but instead our problem " Lydia pleaded smiling

Jane is overwhelmed by what she said so she hugged her and thanked her for being there for her. She has never seen anyone who treated her well like Lydia so thank God for bringing Lydia into her life.

" Alright let's see what fate has in store for us " Jane said smiling while relaxing her back and closing her eyes to calm her racing heart.

*. *. *. *. *. *

Deep in the woods a group of people with their carriages are seen journeying along the road.

Jane and the rest has been going for a long time now.the journey seems to have no end .

" Am so tired I need to take a rest " Jane complained to Leon who is now sitting with them in their carriage

" Hold on a little princess,this place we are now is a dangerous place,we can't stop " Leon caution them both.

" I can't wait my legs are soar, the pain is too unbearable for me " Jane winced bringing out her foot.

" Place your foot on my leg let me massage it for you maybe you will feel better." Lydia said setting her foot for her

" Noo... what about you, aren't you tired please I don't want to stress you the more " Jane refused.

" No , am not stressed at all. You are not used to it that's why you are feeling so much pain " Lydia said placing her foot on her laps

She massage it so well that Jane moan out of relief. Leon wished that his foot are being massage by Lydia too.he can't wait for the day he will be so close to her.

After walking for about an hour, Leon ordered the men to make tent for tonight so they could rest.

About four big tent are being made. One for princess Jane and Lydia while three for Leon and his men. There are about twenty four men plus Leon twenty five.

Princess Jane and Lydia went into their tent to rest.

" You must be very hungry, let me get you something to eat "

" Thank you Lydia " Jane appreciate her

Lydia went out and met the men.sitting round the fire they made. I look around for Leon and found him standing alone by a tree side. I went to him to ask him for food.

" Eerrmm... Leon ! " I called but he didn't reply. He looks like he's in deep thought, and the colour of his eyes that were golden are now peach black, I became scared but then I summon the courage to go closer to him and tap him on his shoulder

" Leon, are you okay " I asked and his eyes became golden again I shifted a little from him, I have never seen this kind of magic before. I have seen few others but not this one.

" Am fine Lydia, do you need anything" he asked calmly

" Oh yes... the princess is hungry and I don't know if there's anything to eat " she asked

" Yes there's food, just give me a minute" Leon said and his eyes became black for some seconds then back to normal again .

" What are you ,? Why is your eyes changing colours ?" I asked but before he could answer me some one interrupted us
