Marcus walked into the hall and met the rouge looking man on his seat, his boys around him.
The room was a little dark and filled with so many acrid smell of smoke.
"Marcus" the leader called, grinning on his seat.
He was a fine young man.
"It's been such a long time. You're here with some goodies for me?"
Marcus didn't reply until he was standing very close to him.
"Actually yes" he finally said.
"I have a very pretty lady I'm sure you'll have interest in. She's very beautiful, perfect curves and all. I'm sire you'll like her".
"Hmm" the leader placed his hand on his jaw.
"What's her name?"
"Roseline".
"Roseline" he mumbled. "Where's she?"
"At my place. But she's going to quite expensive than the others because I'm very sure you'll enjoy her" he
Roseline was blindfolded and forcefully taken into a carriage. She kept crying as they rode, fear eating her up completely.Who were these men and where were they taking her? How could Marcus betray her this way? So, his friend was right afterall?Oh God! If only she had known, she'd have stayed back in the palace. Then maybe, none of these would be happening. What has she done?She kept crying and the blindfold on her eyes weren't helping her at all as they only made her more scared. She couldn't even tell where they were headed. Were they going to kill her or what? Oh! She was definitely putting the King's life in so much danger!**After a very long while, she felt the carriage stop moving and her fears only increased. Where were they? Were they going to kill her? Where could they be?"Bring her out!" She heard a strict voice say and the next thing, strong hands dragged her down from the
Roseline felt her entire blood running so cold as he came towards her.They wanted to examine her? How? And for what reason?!The rogue looking boy stood in front of her and to her outmost surprise, he lifted his hand to her boobs and squeezed them lightly."Argh! Let me go!" She shrieked painfully, finding it extremely excruciating.What was he doing to her?!He caressed the brests and moved his hand to her nipples, giving them a little pinch."No! Please" she whimpered, wishing there was a way she could go free from him, but unfortunately the ropes binding her wouldn't let her move."You're hurting me .. please " she cried out, her heart beating so heavily.What the hell has she done? Why did she had to run away from home and go to a place filled with bad eggs? If she had known, she'd have stayed back at the palace and endured with the King until he fi
After a while, she was done with the bath and the maid helped her into the room and gave her something light to wearIt was a light transparent gown that was too exposed for someone like Roseline, but having no choice, she had to put it on."Just stay here and wait for him. He'll be here soon" the maid told her and left afterwards, locking the door.As soon as she left, Roseline stood up and ran to the door. She tried opening it, but it was locked and without hesitation, she ran into the bathroom where she had seen the knife and picked it up.What does she do with this? Where does she keep it? The dress she had on was too transparent and wasn't a perfect place to hide the knife since it could easily be seen by the so called Leader. Oh! What does she do??Shortly, she heard footsteps and her eyes dimmed.Ah! She needed to think fast; needed to act fast.
King Lincoln was overly surprised as he stared at Roseline who was standing in front of him.He'd been hearing some sounds in the bush and decided to run towards the direction and to his surprise, it turned out to be Roseline."My King!!" Roseline gasped in sheer relief and without thinking straight, she jumped on him, hugging him tight."Oh my God...!" She whimpered on his shoulders, her body still vibrating in fear of what had recently happened. She couldn't believe she found the King; someone that was sure to save her.Yes, because with him, she felt so secured."My King..." She whimpered again.Lincoln felt something melt in his heart as she held him thst way. All the anger he'd felt towards her, everything he planned on doing as soon as he sets his eyes on her, they all dwindled from his memory when she hugged him."Sssh. You're safe now. You're safe" he found
Roseline fell into the King's hands Immediately, finding it so hard to even breathe."My King..." She called weakly, holding onto him like her life so much depended on him."You're fine now" Lincoln stated gruffly and brought her gently to lie on the floor.Roseline could feel her waist hurting a bit. Almost every part of her body was hurting.And as her body touched the floor, she felt her muscles relaxing."Thank you" She muttered to the King, probably thanking him for helping her lie on the floor.Lincoln nodded and sat next to her, right above her head."When are we going back?" She asked fraily, struggling so hard with the dizziness that overwhelmed her and Lincoln could notice."Maybe by morning. We can't leave now. It's late" he told her."But... won't the enemies find us here...?" She asked and Lincoln shrugged.
Could this just be a coincidence? Roseline thought."Roseline? Is there a problem?" The princess asked, realizing how deep in thoughts Octavia was."Um...Yeah. I mean, I don't know. It's just thar..."she paused and licked her lower lip."The guy I just told you about - Marcus - the one who sold me out""Yes? Yes?" Martha nodded in agreement."Um...When I was still at his place,, a Friend of his had come to visit him and this friend actually warned me to run away because Marcus was a bad person. My point is - his name was Aiken".Martha paused."Although, I know there could be a hundred Aikens in the world, but I just felt like letting you know that i met someone who's name was also Aiken"."Yeah, I understand" Martha muttered as she stared at the floor in thought.Could this just be a coin
Marcus!!" Aiken shrieked in fright, his eyes dilating in shock.What the hell is that??? What's happening???His eyes went round immediately and found the shooter at the top of a fence, trying to fix another arrow into his bow.Marcus had already dropped to the floor, bleeding profusely and it was obvious he wasn't gonna make it. And without further hesitation, Aiken started running away before the Archer would finish up."Damn it!" The archer groaned as he watched the boy running away.His hands shook a little as he tried fixing the arrow into the bow but by the time he finally did, the boy was already out of sight.He stood up from his position immediately and started the race - trying to run after him.No! He couldn't lose the boy. Not now! Not when he was so close.He'd been trying to shoot at him, but the stupid friend was standing in the way and running out o
Roseline felt relief and energy pumping right into her body.Hold on; did she just hear him correctly???"Y...You can help??" Martha asked with dilating eyes."I... think so. Although, I was still little back then, but I can recall some of the things mum had used in performing the ritual". He answered.."Ritual?" Roseline asked, finding the word scary."Ysah. But it isn't the kind of ritual you think it is. Both of you just need to lay in sperate boxes and...some items would be used. If I can be given enough resources to get the items, I'm sure I can do it"."And how long do you need to need to get these items?" Lincoln asked."Um... Let's say a day or two. I should be done by then". He answered and a few seconds of silence passed."Okay, then" the King spoke up."My guards would accompany you to get whatever you need. And by the time you're done, you'll be brought over to the palace to begin the proc
