Hanged man

Laura was screaming at Robert all day; nothing could stop her anger even his seductive tone or hot velvet hair, Brishen was standing out of Laura's chamber enjoying this, when suddenly Robert opened the door and rant to him.

Brishen smirked, " That's the reason which you prefer to keep her drunk" he teased him, Robert glared at him and walked away without saying a word. He stepped out to the garden, sat on the ground, leaning against an old tree.

Suddenly he felt that he saw a shadow of a man. Tall but dark, the shadow turned over from a distance, it had red eyes, stared at Robert for few seconds before ran toward him, Robert held his breath not to let out a scream tried his best not to wet his trousers.

He immediately could recognise a soul-sucker when he saw one, and without his weapons, he couldn't kill or hurt any of them! The ghost's face got closer until Robert could feel its breath fanning on his skin. He shouted for help, but no one was around, soul sucker get its lookout of shadow!

Robert widen his eyes, couldn't believe what he is just looking at, its the same man who hanged himself in his own home! There was an old story which said anyone committed suicide would turn to a soul sucker forever! Soul sucker showed his teeth as Robert was shaking in fear and laid his hands on Robert's shoulders, so far Robert couldn't breathe or blink anymore,

The soul sucker leaned over Robert, opened his mouth, as his mouth was getting closer and closer to Robert, he tried hard to hold his both sides to push him away.

Soul sucker was way stronger than Queen's beloved Robert, he grabbed his both hands and pinned them on his both sides,

the sinister soul .thrusted its sharp tooth into Robert's neck, as Robert was trying to escape from his arms. The soul sucker fed from Robert's soul until he got full. Hours later, Robert got up and grabbed the arm of the ghost without any protests, and disappeared with him.

Next day Laura woke up in tears still mad at Robert, but she felt guilty for yelling at him yesterday. She rolled over to face her special maid to command.

"find Robert, tell him I need to talk to him right now" she rubbed her eyes sleepily as she sat on the bed. She felt better today. There is no sign of headache or sickness she could now concentrate on her job again.

In the south, Noah was flying as a dragon again to find a castle. after almost two days fly. Cordelia saw a large house looks like a castle, as no one else's home was as big as this one, she was sure it's their palace or something like that, she rubbed the dragon's neck as a sign to land in front of the cast;e then as Noah turned back to himself they stepped onto the gate of the enormous house.

Noah raised an eyebrow as he saw to guards were arguing out of the castle.and almost they didn't notice Cordelia and Noah's presence at all!

Guard 1 " You are an embarrassment! I told you to do that!"

Guard 2 " why you think whatever you say must be done?"

Guard 1 " cause you don't know what are you doing, also I'm older!"

Noah cleared his throat to gather their attention, but there was no reaction from them.

Noah " sir! sir!"

Cordelia sighed snapped.

Cordelia " we need to get in and talk to your king!"

As she snapped loudly, the guards both got quiet, widen their eyes.

Guard 1 " who are you loud lady?" he smiled"

Cordelia folded her arms against her chest, stubbornly.

Cordelia " I am princess Cordelia from the Mainland."

Guard 2 raised an eyebrow " where is the Mainland."

Guard 1 " come on, bro nowhere is more magnificent than here."

Guard 2 " I didn't hear...."

Cordelia interrupted them before they get started again!

Cordelia " from the northern countries!"

Both guards got severe.

Guard 1 " they are beasts their brother."

Guard 2 " yes, they are dangerous, bro."

The guards drag out their swords made Noah and Cordelia took a step back.

Noah " Not all of us are beasts! North is huge, some part belongs to humans, and the upper part belongs to heartless beasts" he raised an eyebrow proudly.

Finally, one of the guards replied.

Guard 1 " you supposed to come at 4 pm, only then people may talk to the chief."

Noah let out a loud sigh "do you know anywhere to can get some clothes? our clothes are ruined, and I had to wear these leaves!" he pouted innocently, as he was using magic to control the guard's mind.

Cordelia smirked as she noticed what is he doing.

Guard 1 " at the centre of the city, you can get some new clothes", and his brother nodded as an agreement and repeated his sentence as none of them could be quiet for a second.

Cordelia nodded and followed Noah onto the address which the guard told them to go. They found the place Cordelia took a gown to wear it immediately. She looked over at herself gladly.

Cordelia " how do I look now? She asked excitedly.

Noah " you never get any better princess" he raised an eyebrow proud of himself.

Cordelia sighed annoyed, looked over at the seller.

Cordelia " I take this"

Seller "it's fit on you, my lady.

Cordelia " actually I am a ...." Noah shook his head as a sign to stop talking and interrupted her.

Noah, we liked it very much, thank you, sir."

As they were about to step out, seller grabbed Noah's arm.

Seller " where do you think you are going, Mr?"

Noah frowned, Cordelia, replied " what do you mean?

Seller " pay, then you may leave"

Cordelia "But I don't have money!"

The seller pointed at Noah with a move of his head.

Seller " I heard he called you princess."

Noah chuckled " that's why we don't carry money!everyone gives free stuff to the princess! " he gasped.

Cordelia furrowed her brows " we didn't think we would need money!" she protested.

Noah stepped closer to her.

Noah "Its time to practice whatever you learned about mind control."

Cordelia looked at him with a slight smiled on her face stared into the seller's eyes tried to do her best, Noah walked to the man put his hand in the man's pocket looked up at them seller it seemed everything is under control, but suddenly the man grabbed Noah's hand gave him a hard slap.

That made Cordelia laugh but as she didn't have time. So as soon as the man got distracted by hitting Noah, she ran out of the store and hid behind a carriage, a few minutes later Noah showed up on the street Cordelia came out of the carriage as she saw him.

Noah " why did you leave!"

Cordelia "I would get hit too" she pouted Noah gave her aglare started to walk back toward the bug house, Cordelia noticed blood on his shirt but didn't dare to ask whose blood it is so just followed him in silence.

'They stood in front of the castle until they got permission to get in.there is a big house with no fancy stuff in it, but a vast portrait of the chief and his wife, Cordelia and Noah stood there for a while until the King and his wife showed up and in front of their widen eyes they sat in their seat on the throne.

Noah "it's not possible" Noah whispered under his lip with dry mouth. Cordelia was shaking.

Cordelia wanted to meltdown in the ground or evaporate in the sky. Noah was trembling.

The chief's wife was Hanna!
