Irene! wake up!
She slowly open her beautiful hazel eyes, as they met with a pair of cold green eyes. she was not surprise as she has gotten used to seeing those piercing eyes for six month.
"Are you okay?" We have to start moving. "
"Good morning Ravor" she said.
"Here!" He throws her a sack containing food, without acknowledging her greeting.
she wasn't surprise at the cold behaviours of the strange man whom she have being living with for six month.
"Living with him or kidnapped? " she murmurs
SIX MONTH AGO....
(ASVKY CASTLE)
It was just a few minute ago that I heard a sound of explosion coming from the throne room. I thought it was a nightmare, not until I saw Lydia, Tina and Eve my personal maids running hastily towards me.
"What's happening? Where are the guards?" I asked having mixed feeling.
"They're waiting outside, His Majesty asked us to prepare you my lady, we've to start moving as the palace isn't safe." Lydia the oldest of the maids spoke.
Before I could ask any further questions, the maids bow and left for my dressing room to start packing.
I sat down thinking, what could have cause such a commotion to the palace. Knowing my father fully well he would never get involve in any trouble with the neighboring kingdoms.
My thought got disrupted with the sound of heavy footsteps approaching my chamber. the maids stopped packing and stared at each other with fear written all over their faces, then at me. They were waiting for my next move.
Just immediately, there was a loud bang on the door. With fear on her face, Lydia slowly stood up to get the door, each step she took felt like there were thorns under her feet.
We all held our breath as she slowly turns the door knob, excepting the worst.
The door opens.
"Daniel!" Lydia cried out.
"Where is the princess?" The guard asked.
"She's inside, why are you..."
He didn't allow her finish before he barged in.
"My lady" He said with a bow
I nodded.
"The palaces soldiers has been killed and only a few of us could escape."
"What of my father and the crown prince?'' I asked.
"My lady.."
I notice he was trying to hide something from me.
"Where are they?" I asked raising the tone of my voice. That was unlike of me but I couldn't help.
"Am sorry my Lady, but the crown prince has been killed and his Highness the king has been capture." He said trying to avoid my gaze.
I felt a sharp pain in my chest, it was as if my heart has been pierced with a sword. but this was not a time to let out my emotion, I have to stay strong for my father and the kingdom.
"We've to leave my Lady." Daniel said
"Princess, I think you won't be comfortable traveling with the dress you're wearing" Lydia said.
She was right, I won't want to be uncomfortable since the journey isn't for a party or any celebration.
I quickly change into the cloth the maid brought.
It was time to go. Glancing at my room for the last time, I sighed.
We walked through the corridor with Daniel leading the way. He turned left towards the maids quarters.
"It would be safe following the maid quarters since the route leading outside the castles is already guarded by the enemy." he said, Feeling confident and assured.
Before he could speak further, we were welcomed with a gruesome sight, there was blood every where!
"This is not good!" I whisper.
"Run!" Daniel said.
Just then, we were surrounded by soldiers.
