for him to say something or even do something but we both stayed there quiet and still. The silence caused me to look up at him, it wasn’t until then that he smiled and took a step in.

“I wanted you to look at me before I spoke,” he told and then his smile brightened a little more as he walked into my quarter.

“Why are you here,” I quickly asked before he could take another step. He turned to face me and as he took a step my way his smile dulled leaving in its place a sour frown. My heart gave a cry, but I didn’t let it give in. With a serious gleam in his eyes he took out a letter that had a king’s embroidery in the corner. Slowly I took the letter out of his hand and opened it gently. As I read it my hand went out to grab Prince Kayden out of shock and horror.

“He wants… me… to do… what,” I exclaimed with a worried expression. Both of my hands started to shake, even the one that clutched onto Prince Kayden’s arm. He took the letter back and put it into his pocket ready to leave. Before he could take a step I held him in place with my hand.

“Just kill the queen, it’s an order,” Prince Kayden said bitterly then tried to walk away but my hand was still firmly place on his arm. Tears that I never cry flooded my view, but I still looked up at Prince Kayden’s outline.

“That is the only order that I have to defy, the queen means much more to this kingdom then the king does, and she is your mother as while as the only mother figure I had when I was growing up,” I argued without holding in the tears anymore, it’ll only be this one time. I couldn’t see clearly with all the watery tears, but I could tell he was agreeing with me.

“Well then, we better get moving. Where’s Valeria,” he asked making me dumbfounded, what on earth is he thinking?

chapter three

The words from the letter still burned in the back of my mind, but somehow it lead to Prince Kayden, Valeria, and I all leaving the castle without notice. Although running away would mean betrayal to the king, we are still here with food, clothes, and horses.

“Valeria are you sure you want to come with us,” I questioned knowing how hard it is to betray the king. She gave me a light smile and nodded then started packing the stuff onto the horses. I leaned against Mandy, my horse, and starred at the Prince wondering what he was thinking. Has he gone mad, I asked myself but then shook my head; I suppose he just doesn't want his mother killed by his childhood friend. That would be the logical answer I suppose, I told myself then help Valeria.
