Stumbling from tree to tree, the Princess finally reached a point on the hill where she could see the village. She narrowed her eyes, searching for Killian frantically. Although she knew she should use the time Elisabeth had bought her to run away, the Princess couldn't leave without Killian.
The village was visible from her standing, but the Princess couldn't see Killian. She tried observing from different angles. All she could see was some assassins walking about searching for people.
Unable to leave, the Princess slowly walked down the hill to look for Killian.
"Who is there!" An assassin shouted, spotting the Princess walking down.
The Princess gasped and turned around to run away. The assassins were downhill, so it would take a while for them to catch up. Or, that is what the Princess thought.
