Bloody Vipers

SODAIR. I walked around gazing at the palace grounds. The flowers around had bloomed beautifully and the air around the palace was sweet and lively. But that was not what I enjoyed. The more I stared around the more it felt lonely. This is one of the perks of being a princess. I ran towards the other side where I was likely to meet my mom. She had her own office where she’d sit and write all day. I never questioned her and most of my time all she did was tell me to head to Wisteria my nanny. “Mother?” I said as I headed towards her office. I knocked. When I heard nothing I decided to get inside. The room was full of shelves with books and there at the middle of the room was her one and only chair with scribbles on top of her table. I knew she wasn’t here so I decided to walk out. As I closed the door I accidentally pushed a vase that was by the side. I gazed at it broken into pieces on the floor. I heard hurried footsteps coming my way. The door opened and in walked Wisteria. S

SODAIR The sunrise peeking from my window made me wake up from my beautiful sleep. I glanced around and realized Liana wasn’t in the room. We sleep together but in different beds. I gazed at the sunrise by the window as I listened to the bird’s tweeting around the palace. I sighed heavily. Life has been quite hard, remembering on that day that my dad knew that I was getting out of the palace without his consent. Since that day, wherever I go, I have a bodyguard right next to me and Liana the other. But that didn’t stop me from going to the place I wanted most. Because the escape plan was in my room, I just promised Liana that I’ll always get back. And whenever I’d get back I’d meet her pacing profusely around the room in fear that the Queen might come in and find out. The door opened and Liana walked in. She gazed at me mischievously as she walked towards me and sat next to me. “I hate that look on your face.” I said grumpily. “Do you know what day it is?” She asked me eagerly.

SODAIR I thought hard about what Liana said to me. It wasn’t a week that I’ve been gone, right? I mean it couldn’t be. I sighed as I started feeling bad on how I addressed Liana just a while ago. I’ve never had such attitude but I guess it was the result of being caged in a city full of deceit and lies. I headed to the bathroom to get a shower and relax my tense body. I was home now. But deep inside, I felt that something was wrong but I couldn’t figure it out. It’s annoying to try to think of something and being unable to realize it. To hell with it. I got out of the bathroom and headed to my room. Today there were no maids around. I figured they might have been informed of my absence. I sighed as I dressed myself. I left my room and walked towards the King’s throne room. I was definitely sure he’d be there and being there would only ease his tension if he was worried about me. I was standing by the door when I heard him and his royal advisers talking about an ambush attack. “M
