Then she felt a flick in her forehead."Aww." She held her throbbing forehead."What were you thinking being absent minded in a situation like that?" Erik was the one that flicked her forehead. "If I weren’t here to save you, you would have been flattened by the horses by now." He scolded her.Isabella bowed her head feeling guilty."I’m sorry. When I regained my balance I just realized I was already in front of the running carriage. I didn’t mean to be absent minded." She explained.Erik sighed. "I understand. I just don’t know what to do if I wasn’t able to save you on time."Erik hugged her close to him. Isabella can hear his heart beat raising. He was worried for her and she felt happy knowing that.The carriage that almost ran her over stopped a few feet away. A young man with light brown hair wearing spectacles came down from the carriage."Are you all right? I am so sorry that my coachman was in a hurry. There is an emergency call in the palace that I need to attend to, so we w
The town was in a festive mood.. There were many lanterns lit along the roads. Many people are at the river bay waiting for the fireworks to start."Wow, look at the crowd." Isabella said in amazement.All the people around them were common folks.There were men and woman, young and old, lovers, and families all together. Little children were bundled up with their parents, happy and eagerly waiting for the fireworks to start.These events made Isabella remember her childhood, when mother was still alive. There was also a festival like this one. Her Mother brought her to watch it and she was so happy. And when it ended she promised her to come again and watch it together. But that promise never came to reality. She died before the next festival was held."Is there something wrong?" Erik asked.They were standing at a good spot in the river bank, waiting for the fireworks to commence."Oh, it’s nothing." She wipe away a tear that formed in her eye. "I just remembered my mother taking me
Isabella and Erik were walking on the road towards the horse stables where Shadow was. Erik could feel that a pair of eyes were looking at them. He was cautious along the way.They were getting near the stables and he could still feel the presence of the person looking at them."Isabella, why not go inside the stable first." He said."Okay." Isabella looked at him puzzled."Whatever happens don’t go out okay." He warned her sternly."Is there a problem?" She asked."Someone is following us since we left the riverbank." Erik whispered."What?" Isabella was startled. He gestured her to keep quiet and she nodded."Let’s act that we don’t know." He said softly. He retrieved his dagger from his belt and handed it to her. "Use this if ever something happens, okay?"Isabella nodded again. "Be careful.""I will, do not worry." She said. She was looking at Erik with worried eyes.’She’s so cute.’ Erik smiled to himself. He pulled her close and kissed her forehead."Be a good girl and wait for
Isabella had been waiting inside the stables as Erik had instructed. She held the dagger he had given her tightly. Her heart was thumping very fast.She was worried about Erik . He said they were being followed since they left the river bank.’Who would want to follow us? What are their intentions?’ She thought to herself.Then she remembered the accident earlier. When she was nearly ran over by a running carriage. She felt someone pushed her."Someone is after my life?" She said to herself.She was deep in her thoughts when she heard some sound."Who is there?" She quickly got her guard up. She unsheathe the dagger from its scarb and held it at arms length. She made a defensive stance."Young lady, I do not wish to harm you." A voice of a man was heard.Then the man emerged from the shadows. He was a young man with short dark brown hair and eyes. He was wearing black cloak."What do you want from me?" She asked with authority.The young man flinched. He looked into her eyes, as if se
Erik looked around outside the horse stables to look for clues. That was when he saw the dagger he gave Isabella a while ago was lying on the ground not far. He kneeled down and took the dagger from the ground."There’s fresh blood." Erik said while examining the blade of the dagger.’Isabella might have wounded her attacker.’ Erik thought."Kyler!" Erik called."Yes your highness?" Kyler arrived with Shadow behind him. "I have told our elite guards to scout the area.""Isabella and her kidnapper cannot have gotten that far." Erik said. He showed the dagger to Kyler ."This is your dagger your highness." Kyler said. He knew that the prince’s dagger is coated with poison. Even just a prick from it’s blade can endanger your life. The prince always carries this dagger for protection."I handed this to Isabella a while ago for protection. I am sure Isabella wounded her kidnapper and by now he is feeling the effects of the poison. Tell the elite guards to hurry." Erik said.’I want to see
"I suggest you let go of the princess or there will be major consequences." Erik said."I am afraid I can’t do as you say." The young man said. "She belongs to her own kin. She doesn’t need to go back."Isabella look at Erik and the young man exchanging glances. Their gazes were firm and unwavering."Then I have no choice but to fight you." Erik said with a chilling voice. He looks at her and his face became gentle. "Just wait a bit. I’m going save you." He smiled his bright smile.Then Erik looked at the young man again with fierceness. "You’ll going to regret abducting the third princess of Wales."Erik unsheathes his sword from its Scarb and pointed it towards the young man. So the young man did the same."You are also a knight I presume?" The young man said. "Then I challenge you to a duel. If you win then I will gladly give you the princess and also my life.""Are you sure?" Erik asked.Erik looks at young man, gauging him. Just one look at him and he knew that this man had been
No!" Kyler charged with his sword unsheathed. He tried to slash the water bubble but to no avail. The water retained its shape."Your efforts are useless." The young man said. "The water will stay the shape as I want it to."Kyler looked at the young man with rage. He launched towards the young man."If I can’t undo the water bubble, then I will just have to kill it’s wielder." Kyler yelled while charging.But then a young woman came in suddenly, blocking the attack of Kyler with her sword."Lucas, what the hell are you doing!" The young woman with dark brown hair yelled to the young man."Luna, you came." Lucas smiled with relief but coughed up blood."You are poisoned?" Luna said in surprise. She looked at Kyler with rage. "How dare you hurt my brother!"Luna was enraged. She raised her hands up and the wind around them was swirling like a tornado.Kyler couldn’t do anything but thrust his sword to the ground and hold on to it.The wind around them was strong, it was making the obje
Then fire came out of the ground, like red pillars. Erik looked around to see if Kyler was okay."Kyler?!" He yelled."Your highness!" Kyler was at the edge of this chaos.’Good, he was fine.’ Erik thought."I need you to be prepared." He ordered. "Call the other elite guards and have them stationed in the vicinity.""They are on their way your highness!" Kyler yelled. "What are you doing?!"Erik was trying to get closer to Isabella. He had to stop her or her body won’t handle this much power."Your highness, don’t do it!" Kyler said. "Let me do it!""Stand your ground!" Erik ordered him. "You cannot step inside her vortex. It will be the end of you.""But your highness." Kyler saw scared for Erik’s wellbeing."Do not worry. I will come out of this alive and with my future bride." Erik said with resolve. He smiled at Kyler confidently.Erik made a wall of fire around himself just to make sure any debris won’t get in his way."Isabella!" Erik yelled out to her."Isabella, it’s me. It’s
