[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: PRINCESS OF CHINA~ COLDPLAY FEAT RIHANNA]
Nix galloped on his horse, urgency in every beat of its hooves. If he could have apparated to where Kitanna was, he would have done it. In front of him was the guard who had relayed the information. Behind him was Lord Hieron and Chantal. Larel stayed behind in the palace, praying for the princess's safety.
They rode their horses, delving deeper into the forest. Nix thought for a moment; this was not the location that Axilla wrote on her letter. He didn't stop either; Nix didn't want to bet on his luck. If Kitanna wanted to see him first, it means her time was ticking. But if it happened that he was tricked, he would make sure the heads of those involved would be rolling inside the deep sea, with their bodies left for wild animals to devour. Nix gritted his teeth as he galloped on his horse.
