Annabelle woke up in the afternoon feeling slightly sore. She blushed as images of what happened in the morning flooded her mind,but then she looked around trying to find someone.
"Where is he?" She wondered but then her thoughts went too far.
"Did he leave just like that and planned not to say anything to her? Was he still upset even after what he had done? Now she was truly confused and this time,she decided to confront him by asking him to have lunch with her.(hoping he would agree).
As the maid served her with her food, she asked the maid to check if his highness was around. The maid entered after being gone forever sometime.
Her hands were behind her as she powered her head saying in a soft voice;"My lady,please, his highness is currently not available".
"And what is he busy doing?" I asked in a rather sarcastic tone trying to sound unbothered.
"My lady, his highness has gone to stay in one of the neighbouring countries to keep low".
"To keep low,Why?" I asked the maid but instead of replying,she simply stood there as if I was asking for her to do something she cannot do.I excused her since she was clearly not ready to speak, then decided to take matters into my own hands.
I headed out trying to look for the stables,wondering that there would be some of his guards there but I really didn't know the direction to head towards since I hadn't been here for long. As I roamed about,not having a clue where I was going, I got to explore more of the mansion. There were lots of painting that were hanged on the wall and just looking at them would tell you they were made to be masterpieces but yet,something seemed odd about them but she had no time to figure that out because she had other pressing matters to take care of. Annabelle took various turns and entered various corners and each corners she entered left her in an ora of mystery.
She then found herself in a hallway. And as she walked down it, she came upon a painting in the corner. It looked rather odd and different from the rest. The woman in the painting was stunning in her red dress and black wavy hair which rather complemented her looks very well. She looked like someone in her thirties and she had her had stretched out holding someone's hand but it seemed like that part was covered by a cloak. Just as she was about to remove the cloak,a deep voice spoke behind her;"What are you doing here my lady?" She jumped back when she heard the voice and it belonged to the butler.
"I seemed to have gotten lost.I was looking for the stables."
"Don't worry,I will show you the way." Then he led me out. Not long after,we were at the stables. I thanked him then he smiled and left. I walked into the stables and not far ahead, I saw a group of men chatting and laughing,enjoying their meal. I walked up to them and cleared my throat hoping they would notice me but no one did until a man with blonde hair and blue eyes walked towards me. "Hey there,my lady.Are you looking for someone?"
"Yes I am looking for his highness". "Do you mean prince Zamain". He asked me looking at me like I didn't know what I was saying.
"And who are you to him?"he asked me.
"I am his wife".I claimed proudly but he looked at me and just laughed but I didn't get the joke in it so I gave him a serious look which made the smile on his face disappear. "You are serious".he asked grabbing the attention of the rest. "Follow me" he said then led the way. As I walked through the crowd,they were all staring at me some even looked like they had other intentions and it disgusted me. Soon after, we entered a tent where four men in armour approached us and pulled the man with blonde hair aside discussing something with him. When they were done,the four men introduced themselves and lowered their heads showing respect. I asked for them to rise. I examined them carefully. There was one with brown hair and black eyes who was Nolan while another had black hair and hazel eyes and he was also called Rafael and another who looked terrifying,called Daniel and the one with blonde hair was Jack.
"Do you know where his highness is?" I asked them. "His highness has moved some where to settle somethings". Nolan said. "Take me there now". I demanded. "They looked surprised but decided to take me anyway. They told me to change into different clothes where no one would recognise me. We headed off on horses as they led the way. Not so long after, we entered a village. We rode deeper and went into the woods. There, there was a small house in the middle of the forest. We headed towards the front door and they knocked on the door several times in a weird pattern. An old woman opened the door and led us to the hall. The guards sat down as I asked the woman to showed me where Zamain was and she did. We stopped in front of a wooden door and then she left. I entered the room and no one was there but just then,Zamain entered with a towel wrapped around his waist with water dripping down from his hair down his god like chest over the snake tattoo that moved down his chest to his waist. God he looked sexy but she needed a focus right now. "Why are you here?" I asked trying my best not to get distracted by his godly body. "Shouldn't I be asking you what you're doing here" he asked back moving slowly towards her pinning her on the wall. "Did you already miss me?" He whispered as he sucked on her ear.
"N....No". I could barely speak as he did that but I regained my composure and looked into his eyes and said;"I want to go with you"
"Go with me, huh". Are you sure you can handle it. He asked mockingly and I boldly said with an intensity in my eyes telling him that I was more than ready.
He pulled back and glanced at her then said;"If you want to come with me then there are just three simple rules you need to follow.
1. Do not be a distraction
2.We never leave a man behind
3.Never trust anyone
I thought about his rules and said ;"They seem simple enough so sure".
"And don't forget, if you break any of these rules....". He paused leaving a chill down her spine.
