The eyes of each soldier widened in horror, especially the captain.I shouldn’t have to suggest this in the first place. As the heir to a kingdom, I was to be protected and surrounded by soldiers at all costs. However, if we remained here and argued endlessly, we wouldn’t be able to leave this place.As much as I was supposed to be protected, I should assure them that all would be well. If I stayed at the back, they wouldn’t proceed. The sight of the tunnel’s mouth already scared them.What more if we ventured further into the dark, shadow-covered path?Without another word, I headed towards the entrance.“Your Highness,” the captain called as he ran up to me. Blocking the tunnel, he protested, “You shouldn’t be at the front. It is too dangerous for you.”“A king stands at the front line, leading his soldiers to battle. As future king, shouldn’t I do the same?” I asked.The captain replied, “You’re only a prince at the moment, Your Highness. Your position is too fragile.” He continued

We ventured further into the forest to get as far away from the tunnel as possible.Soon, we reached a clearing and made camp. The soldiers, as well as the horses, were too exhausted to continue.The griffins nestled down as well. The captain directed them to where they could rest, especially the one that carried James.I hopped off Wonder and ran to the captain. Carefully, he helped as James laid back onto one of the griffins.“James,” I said as I knelt beside him. The captain immediately examined one of James’ arms. “What’s his state?” I asked as I turned to him.The captain didn’t respond. Slowly, he stretched James’ arm. Immediately, he arched his back as he groaned for a moment. The captain shook his head as he settled James’ arm on his torso.I asked once again, “Captain, what’s going on? What happened to him?”“His Majesty broke his arm. It must have happened when he was dragged along with his horse,” the captain replied as he took off his coat. He continued, “Right now, there

We turned our heads, only to find that James was approaching us.With a horse right behind him, he continued, “Prepare your men, Captain.”The captain bowed and rushed over to his soldiers.I walked closer to James, brows furrowed. “Are you out of your mind?! You are already in a terrible condition. And you still want to proceed on this journey?” I protested.“My condition will never hinder us in accomplishing this mission. It must never hinder us. I will not allow that,” said James. “Just like you, I have questions that need answers. And like you, I won’t stop at nothing to achieve that.”I sighed as I shook my head. I wanted so badly to argue with him. But I knew that my protests would only land on deaf ears so there was no use in fighting back.“Instead of disagreeing with me, prepare yourself. We have a long way ahead of us.”~*~*~*~We sprinted through the forest as the sun disappeared from the distance.We followed the forest trail and the moon was kind enough to shine its light

I waited patiently behind the trees and bushes for the perfect time to strike.Before we took off, James gave us one final instruction: that the griffins would only arrive once the front guards were removed.I already sent five guards to move closer towards the front gates. As for the rest of the soldiers, I assigned them to the back gates. My specific instructions was to wait for them to drop their defences. And though our position was uncomfortable, we couldn’t be reckless with our actions.One mistake could cost the whole mission.Finally, the three guards at the front gates sat in front of the entrance. They put their spears aside. They yawned as they shared bread with one another.I nodded at my men. Immediately, they shot their sleeping darts. In no time, the drowsy liquid took effect and put the guards to sleep.It was an incredible surprise and blessing that the captain brought some sleep syrup with him. Before we completely made our journey to the front entrance, we made dart

His eyes remained still on the full moon.In the darkness of the room, he stood silent.He was still, almost a life-like statue.He should be asleep. But he couldn’t. He eagerly waited for news in regards to his plans.Any misstep could lead to utter disaster.Finally, a knock came upon the door. It creaked open and his page spoke, “My lord, Sir Hector has arrived. He wishes to see you.”“Let him in,” the voice of the lone man echoed.Silence entered the room once again as he waited for his visitor. Footsteps then approached him. Even though he wasn’t sure it was the guest he expected, he remained unmoved by the window.“Your Highness?” Sir Hector, his secret right-hand man, spoke from behind.“Any news?”“As you predicted, they went to the duchess’ residence. But we were able to remove the girl before their arrival. We also left no trace of our presence within the grounds,” Sir Hector delivered his report.“Where is she now?”“Where you want her to be, my lord.”The young man sighed

She groaned as she slowly regained consciousness. Darkness welcomed her vision. She then sat up from the unfamiliar bed and looked around.Everything looked strange.The faint moonlight was the only thing that illuminated the room. But it was enough to help her distinguish that she was somewhere she didn’t know.From the unfamiliar furniture and different room arrangement. She knew she was brought somewhere that wasn’t in Western Wind.Once again, fear filled her mind.It was the same fear that she felt when she was abducted. It was the same fear that haunted her when she was locked in a room with no windows. It was the same fear that became her companion for all the time that she was alone.In a panic, she hurried towards the headboard. She hugged her knees tightly as she examined her room frantically.The door suddenly opened, which made her jump. Two unfamiliar men entered, one of them carried a tray. After the tray was settled on the table, both turned towards the bed. They grinne

My eyes strained as I looked out from the throne room window.I focused my eyes on the distant mountains, trying to distract myself from all of the frustrations of the world.Three days has passed - and quite quickly, to be frank - since we arrived in Bethilda’s residence. When we, especially James, thought that everything would be solved here, that everything would finally end here, we were proven wrong.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~‘I stumbled backwards, slowly falling to the ground as my whole world came to a screeching halt. Shock and fear overcame my whole body.‘“Your Highness!” the captain and soldiers screamed, catching me right before my body could reach the ground. Everyone shouted in a panic as they scrambled around me. But their voices slowly turned into muffled noises as my surroundings swirled before my eyes.‘Laura wasn’t here. If she’s not here, where could she be? Where was she taken to? Who took her?‘Could it really be Mallory?‘Or was this another evidence that pointed to the o

We finally arrived in Bethilda’s dungeon, which was located in one of her castle towers.Unlike in our castle, hers was spacious. There were windows where the sun would shine its light through. At the same time, it served as a way of proper ventilation for her prisoners. As we passed by the prison cells, I noticed that they were still in pristine conditions. As if not many prisoners were kept here before.Most likely, her servants were the few of the first ones to be kept here.“James, did you imprison all of your servants?” I whispered as I walked closely behind James.“Each one of them had to be questioned. I only released a few after they were interrogated and proven to be innocent,” James explained.We were then led to an open door through the wall.~*~*~*~As we stepped inside, it revealed a staircase that led down to the side of the tower.As we ventured down, the light from the upper part of the tower slowly disappeared. There were no windows as we ventured further down the hid
