Chereads / 72HOURS OF CASTLE / Chapter 9 - Rapt and kill

Chapter 9 - Rapt and kill

'Damn'

I started to run but with these heels it was vey difficult , so , I removed it.

"Hey you! Stop." One guy said as they were chasing me

Fortunately for me , I escape from them.

"Did you saw the person?" Said one

"No but I could notice that it was a girl with long red hairs" the other said

"Do you think that it could be the princess? Not everyone in this kingdom has red hairs except the Rays family" he said worry

"If it was the princess after hearing what we just said , you and I we will not stand hear talking again our head will be away from our bodies"

"We will tell the boss about this incident"

.

.

.

The party was finished, I was in my "royal" chamber since the queen insisted that I should stay here. The castle was both ancient and modern at the same time actually.

I couldn't find sleep my head was thinking of what I just saw and heard during the party.

Should I tell it to Ace? That was the question I was asking myself and if it was not what I thought.. I will be in troubles .

I shuffle my hairs " What should I do?" I asked to myself confused.

"Let me Atleast sleep on it and see tomorrow" I said.

.

.

.

The next day I was still on my bed, the night didn't advise me at all.

"My princess this is your breakfast"

I looked at the direction of the voice coming from my door.

"It's 8am your highness, you are late?"

"Late? For what?"

"You forgot? Every morning you ride your horse" the maid said

'How will I ride a horse if I don't even know how to climb' I thought

I stood up from my bed and the maid prepared me for my journey.

While getting out of my room, I saw Lady Eva coming out of room of the Prince with a smile.

'Maybe she slept here, since the prince is in his mansion'

The castle was very eventful, they were preparing the crowning ceremony that will be tomorrow.

Arriving in front of the court yard where I saw my beautiful horse waiting for me.

The problem was that I never ride a horse in my life , I don't even know how to climb and there's people in this courtyard, If I do any wrong step here they will notice that there's something wrong .

I was thinking of what to do when someone tapped my shoulder.

"Why do you look so tens" said the voice that was familiar to me

"Prince Ace? I thought you went back to your mansion" I said wondering.

"And leave you in this shit? I knew exactly that such thing will happen. So I decided to wait my crowning ceremony here in the castle"

"Thank you! If not I don't know what I would have done" I said relief

"The name of your horse is stormy" he said

"A beautiful name"

Stormy is a black horse with a white trait that was like thunder on his forehead, I think it's the reason why Logane gave him this name.

"Take her horse to the barn , she will ride with me" he ordered to one servant

Behind Ace was a white majestic horse , he just looked like an angel his white fur was purely white with no stain no imperfections.

Ace help me to climbed on his horse first and he climbed behind me.

We went behind the castle, they was a beautiful, soothing, large forest.

I could feel the breath of Ace touching my neck. it was just like those novel that I use to read, The prince having a walk with his sweetheart.

Now that I think Duncan no Ace and I have never been so closed this way.

I blushed , shaking my head to remove those thoughts.

'It must be the environment that is making you think that you are in tale. Plus, he have a fiancee how can I even think of such things'

"What are you thinking of , shaking your head this way" he asked

"Noth…. Nothing" I replied blushing but suddenly I remember of yesterday night.

"Uhmm , your highness, do you think they can be traitors in the castle?" I asked

"Traitors? Why are you asking that?" He questioned back

"Just to know" I replied

"No, who will be mad to that to the royal family they know perfectly what will happen to them if they try" he said

'I should just forget what I heard yesterday then'

"Okay let's us change the topic. Are you worried about tomorrow?" I asked

"Not actually. It's just a simple ceremony as another" he said

"But in the party , you were far. As if something was worrying you" I said

He smirked "you are very a great observer lady amber-ruby" he said

I laughed when I have heard the word lady beside my name " who's a lady? Not me"

He smiled and it was the first time that I so him smiling sincerely actually.

.

.

.

Crowning day.

The crowning day finally arrived and it was the end of the 72Hours for me. I spent 3 days of castle that felt very good to me even though I was worried that they could catch me. It was very amazing.

The evening began and the servant came and prepared me. As usual the dress, the jewelries, the make up , the shoes were beautiful.

I looked at me on the mirror and I didn't recognize myself.

"You are beautiful, your highness"

I smiled "Thank you"

They bowed and then left.

I thought of my mother, she would have been proud of me. After this day, I will start a new life, open my business.

At the moment I opened the door, someone put a tissue on my mouth and nose. My vision became blurred and I fainted.

.

.

.

In the ceremony hall.

"Where is Logane?" Asked queen Lydia to the maid of Logane

"Your majesty, she was in her room ready already, I don't know why she's so long to come. Let me go and see" she said

The maid arrived at the chamber but before she could enter she noticed one heel of the princess in front of her door which was opened. She took it.

" Your highness?"

No respond.

She went to to the bathroom and saw no body.

She went directly to the ceremony and informed discretely the prince, queen and king. The arrived at the chamber and the maid gave to the prince the shoe of Logane.

"She has been kidnapped" he said

.

.

.

"She's waking up"

I heard someone said

I opened my eyes gently, my head was spinning and my vision was still blurred.

"Where am I?" I asked softly

When I regained all my senses, I noticed that I was attached on a chair. My hands only but my legs weren't attached.

"You have been tagged by our boss. He ordered us to kill you" one said

"Who's your boss?" I asked

I tried to be calm but inside me I was panicking

"We can't say his name but just know that he's very powerful and he's a member of the royal family"

'Who's that?'

"A beautiful girl like you princess Logane you will see your life going just like that" he approaches me and sniff me.

"Don't do that please, I don't want to be kill" I pleased

I was thinking of my futur project after those 72Hours and now I was seeing my life ending like that?.

'Mum, I'm coming to joint you wherever you are'

I saw how the man lifted the gun to my direction.

"Wait" one said

He came to my direction, he took my necklace that the queen gave me before the ceremony.

"I will sell it. You can kill her now"

Those fews minutes that I had made me think that I should not give up.

He lifted his gun again at the moment he pressed the gun , I pressed my legs on the floor and pushed the chair I was sitting on behind, instead of the rifle bullet taking me on head, it took me on the chest , so as I pushed the chair I passed through the window and felt.
