Wait for me wife, I will be back. He said with a gentle tone his eyes softer staring at her.
I will. Please don't take too long so you won't make me worried. She said in a way that made her feel her stomach churn. She didn't know why, but something in her tells her that danger is lurking around them like an invisible forces. She didn't know why, but she felt so uneasy and her head began to spin.
As if sensing her uneasiness, Lucas leaned in and kissed her forehead.
Catherine felt her racing heart calm feeling goosebumps slowly caressing her.
That single kiss on her forehead was like a magnetic medicine healing her of all her worries and uneasiness.
Stop worrying. He whispered and Catherine nodded her head. He shifted his gaze away from her to look at Brody as if communicating telepathically with him through the eyes.
"You know what to do". He said in a deep and cold voice that irk of warning
Brody bowed his head deeply.
We will be leaving now. Lucas said authoritatively.
Mason and the rest soldiers bowed their heads before stepping out of the mansion to get their horses ready. While Lucas pecked her forehead before whispering,
"I'll be back, wife. Wait for me." He said and Catherine nodded her head.
With that,
Lucas left the mansion, with his men.
As the prince and his comrades rode their horses through the forest, the trees seemed to blur together. Lucas leaned forward in his saddle, his eyes fixed on the path ahead. "We'll ride back to Eldrida kingdom," he said, his voice low and steady. "No leaping. We don't know what dangers lie ahead."
"Your highness, what if the crown prince isn't in the castle when we get back to the kingdom?, cause looking at it, we will be riding for days. Mason said in a more serious tone as his gaze deepened on the pathway.
I doubt so. He can't leave the castle, he won't want to risk it as the king will be a close watch on him. Lucas smirked mischievously.
Your highness, is it safe for her highness in calanthor kingdom? Jaxon asked. He has been the most quiet soldier.
Lucas furrowed his brows In confusion and asked while slowing down it's pace. He could detect something was off with the way Jaxon has asked that question.
What do you mean? Lucas asked with a furrowed brow.
Nothing your highness, I just thought that the people,most especially the duke and duchess aren't yet familiar with the princess. So it might be a bit overwhelming for her highness. Jaxon replied cursing himself in his mind for bringing about the princess's in this current situation they are in.
She will be fine,and if any one tries to hurt a single hair on her head, I will rip that person limbs to limbs and feed it to my tamed beast. He said a smile spreading dangerously across his face, making his dark black grey eyes gleamed dangerously.
The men could feel an ominous chills ran down their spines with the way their prince has spoken.
We will reach Eldrida in the next three or four days. Mason announced. He had strategize on how they will reach Eldrida kingdom within a span of short time than delaying any further.
Then we Will attack the crown prince. Copper said with a wide grin on his face as if he is been excited about this upcoming battle that awaits them.
We won't attack him immediately, as we don't know what the crown prince has to use against us. Crew piped in.
Meanwhile, Lucas was still thinking about what Jaxon has said. He didn't know why but what Jaxon has said had lingered in his mind. Did he actually did the right thing by leaving Catherine behind? ! He shook his head to clear that thought away from his head. The only thing now he should focus on right now is the crown prince. Even though he didn't want the crown, he will make every member of the royal family life a living hell for making his life miserable starting from the crown prince himself.
With that thought,he dragged the reins of his horse and sped off in max speed.
In Hilltop kingdom,
King Edward wasn't in the castle as he had gone for an important meeting in another kingdom.
Queen Sarah was in her chamber. It's been a few days since she last see and hear from her daughter. She missed her daughter so much she didn't know what to do. She lay her head on the soft pillow to close her eyes and sleep for a while. Prince Michael was sitting on his horse when one of the maids entered the horse den.
"Good morning your highness" ! The maid greeted head bow.
"Meet me in my chamber. You should know what to do." He ordered coldly.
Yes your highness. She bowed her head before she went back inside the castle.
Michael licked his lips sexily. He was not only glad that his stupid sister has left the castle, but he will have the privilege to do as he please and also have sex with as many maids as possible.
He got down from his horse and went back inside the castle. As he was walking on the corridors of the castle, he came across his wife.
Princess Alice bowed her head.
"My lord. "
Where are you going to? He asked.
I'm heading to the garden to take a walk. She replied softly.
You can enjoy your self. He said and the lady bowed her head one more time before going towards the garden. While Michael went back to his chamber to meet the maid so he can spend time with her.
It was getting dark as the sky was turning dark black.
In Eldrida kingdom,
Crown prince Levi has received a shocking news that his stupid brother has left the castle hours ago.
