Chapter 23 - CHAPTER 23

"So what's your suggestions on this?" Asked prince pial as he turned to queen Lisha. "Mother, would you like to say something?"

"No son, you have made the right decision. Carry on. Wherever you are, remember your parents, your people and your kingdom. I wish you all the best of luck" sounded queen Lisha.

Although, Drisat tried to speak. "If I may ..." Then she quit her words and stood silently.

Prince pial has immersed her feeling and he asked, "do you want to say something Drisat?"

And Drisat shocked her head, "no my Lord. It's alright". 

"Fine" he sounded and turned to his people. "Are we ready? For the love of Keswick!" And he raised his sword high.

And everyone carry on, "for the love of Keswick! For the love of Keswick!".

"Let's move" and they moved out except Drisat, Lihan and queen Lisha.

 Ixan was in the rail of fighting the people, commando pliph jumped in and they continue the fight. Though commando pliph was an age man, he's giant and pretty handy with a sword. He fought bravery as he dropped many of the men.

"Sir, may I go to cover the princess? If you can deal with these people alone. I don't know how to cut them all off. Before I arrived, princess Nar has been dealing with them. It's like they are endless" said Ixan in curiousness.

And commando pliph responded, "Do not worry dear. Surely we have to do something. But you first go and rescue the princess. How are your family?"

"They're safe I am sure. I take control on that".

"But that's not guaranteed. There are spreading everywhere now. I have never seen a disaster like this in my life. Has koplan people keep a world battalion?"

Ixan swiftly ran to the princess. By that time princess Nar has long been painted. Ixan quickly fetched water in a bottle from the tap that's close to them. Then she get back to her. "Wake up princess. I wish you are fine" she said in her mind, trying to collect water in her hand. And she carefully spread it on princess Nar's face. "Please wake up your highness" and she continuously spread the water on her. Still princess Nar hasn't regained conscious. Ixan dropped down the bottle and placed princess Nar's head on her lap. Eventually, tears dropped from her eyes without she realized. And she whispers, "please don't do this to me. Wake up. The prince needs you and so your people. You will not end up like this".

"If I have a good friend like you, I should pray for many life to be with you ixan" sounded princess Ixan.

Ixan cried out in excitement and laughed. As she embraced her calmly, "you're very welcome back to us princess. How sad I felt when I didn't hear from you. My heart broke" said Ixan sadly.

And princess Nar smiled as she looked around. For seeing commando pliph in active with the koplan people she turned to Ixan. "So uncle has arrived too?"

"He does. I am beginning to get scared of this people. The more we're killing them is like we are rebuilding more my lady".

"I have seen something. Whatever this fight comes with, believe me Ixan, there's a traitor in our midsts".

"You mean to say your highness, these people are ...".

"They're not as they seemed. Koplan people have long been lost. I have seen their identity. The other time when koplan people attached our kingdom, they're a different people. And their mode of fighting are so strict than this one, that's why I tried to give a short cut to prince pial about them. Lucky enough I face them before I precise".

And Ixan inhaled the air before she responds, "what do you found?"

Then princess Nar removed the brown veil she hide in her dress. 

Ixan collect it and opened. As she read the writing. A few seconds later she looked up. "That means their last target is Wyoming" and she looked panicky at princess Nar. "It's your kingdom my lady".

"Is it Wyoming? I have seen the first letter, W but I couldn't read the rest of it. Why these places? They're targeting on something".

"Surely it has to be something, this is beyond our reason. Let's get you to a safe place my lady. But I have to get commando pliph out of that gangs" and Ixan went to commando pliph as he was busy trying to get rid of the people. And in a single wing, she removed a chain from the tap block and trap the men in it. "Please move back uncle" requested Ixan.

And commando pliph comes out. "Be careful girl" and he ran back to princess Nar.

"Are you okay uncle?" Asked princess Nar as she was looking at commando pliph with concern.

"I am okay. You didn't stress yourself?" Asked commando pliph.

And princess Nar answered, "yes uncle, I am fine. Have you discovered these people uncle? They're not the same koplan people, it's a pretence".

"Have you got that also princess? You're very brave. It must have been a trick. We should try came up with the possiblity".

"Sure uncle".

By that time, Ixan has already made the fire with a stones. And the fire has trapped the people inside. Then Ixan quickly came back to princess Nar and commando pliph.

"Let's get out of here" Ixan quickly responded.

And they ran away.

"But where are we going?" Asked commando pliph.

As Ixan responded, "there's a safe place ahead. Keep running please".

"For how much longer? I am so tired Ixan" sounded princess Nar.

"Let me give you assistance princess Nar" ought commando pliph as he gave her his hand.

And princess Nar smiled and utter, "no please uncle. I will load a hard stress on you. Let's keep up, I will try my best".

"Please keep steady, we're almost there" sounded Ixan, still running. And briefly Ixan sounds again, "See, we're already here".

And princess Nar released a hard breath in relief. "Finally!" And she continues breathing heavily.

Fanat, Ding, Drew (Fanat's little brother) with the rest of her families and some few villagers were there. Princess Nar, Ixan and commando pliph joined them.

And Ixan ran to her father, asking "Are you fine father?"

And Ding smiled as he placed his hand kindly on her head. "God bless you my daughter. You have fought bravery. Well done" he sounded. Then he looked at princess Nar and commando pliph, "you have done the best for us. Thank you very much for saving us from these people" he sounded.

Princess Nar was smiling_ as she felt pleased being with the people. "It our duty Sir, you don't have to be formality with us. Ixan! Is he your father?"

And Ixan nodded her head, "he's my father, and my life".

"What a nice family!" Sounded princess Nar with smiled on her face. Then she turned to Ding and sounds, "it's good to see you fine and good Sir. And we are so happy to meet you. My name is Nar Qiong, the princess of Wyoming but don't look at me as a princess. Addressed me a dear friend of your daughter. And here's my respective uncle, commando pliph of keswick kingdom".

"You're really welcome. Please come and let us serve you something" said Ding.

As princess Nar silently looked at commando pliph with surprised expression. And then she chuckled, "uncle, eating! At this point of taking life risk?"

"Why not. Please come in" added Ding as he turned to collect the food in the tint.

"But father!" Princess Nar called out silently.

And princess Nar continues, "is it safe here father? I have a suggestion, since we're still at risk now. We should move to keswick kingdom, they have full control there".

"But ... My lady, we're not invited. We cannot break the kingdom's policy. Remember!" Said Ixan.

"Ixan, do not worry. I have right to command in Keswick kingdom. And you will go there as my guests, that's all. But look at the children, the old people, thank God everything is care of. Alas, we don't have the guaranteed that they'll be safe for long" princess Nar kindly explained. "If we're pretty handy with a sword, what about them?"

And Ixan looked at Ding as Ding responded, "she's right of course. But with these people around, how can we exit from here".

"We have to find a solution" answered princess Nar, looking around and thinking of the way out.

They were in that notion, they heard a sounds of the horses. And everyone continue looking at each other with fear and stressed.
