CHAPTER SIX.
Vivian fixed her steady gaze on Eleanor who was hugging her legs thinking of a way to escape since they were surrounded with guards.
"There is no way to escape".Vivian deadpan.
"We will fight them-".
"My Princess we aren't capable and you?,you have lost your fighting skills".She declines.
"Ow,I know a way".Eleanor hop off the bed and place her hands together as if she was praying and started whispering. "Agnes,Agnes, I need you".
It didn't take a second before a tornado circed around the center of her room and POOF Agnes appeared once the tornado dies off.
"You're here?".
"Yes,what do you need,princess".He asked.
"Take us away from Esmeralda to the East".Eleanor ordered.
"Ofcourse but let me advice you don't call me while you're in Arystarr,my powers doesn't work there and only the devil knows why".He stretches his hand for them to hold unto and when they took his,abruptly they all vanished.
And 'POOF' they suddenly appeared at the center of a Silva in the land of Arystarr.
"Where is Agnes?".Eleanor brows rose in question.
"He only teleported us here,he has his own mission.Lets go Princess I can hear the neighing of a horse,it shouldn't be that far".Vivian said and went in search of the horse as Eleanor follows.
And there,they saw a horse tied to a tree.
First,Vivian untied the rope then helped Eleanor mount on the horse before she follows."Where to,Princess?".
"To the Fire Lord Castle".
"Alright".Vivian nods."Giddyup!!!!!".Vivian yelled and uses a foot to hit the horse causing it to pick up his pace.
"We need to reach there before nightfall?".
Vivian nods in agreement.
Few hours later.
Suddenly,arrows started flying across them aiming at them but Vivian manage to dodge everyone of it .
The last arrow aimed at the horse and this time it didn't miss.Once the arrow pierce into the leg of the horse,it cries out in pain and fell,breathing it's last breath.
"Get up quickly, Princess. We are under attack!".Vivian Frets.
Eleanor quickly got up and there she sighted them,the fire Lord swordmen,their ferocious bloodshot eyes dawn on them.
"Princess Run".
"No,I won't leave you,you are outnumbered-".
"I SAID RUN!!!!!".Vivian roared,her cold voice made her quiver.
"No".She heard herself whisper.
"It's my duty to protect you.Your life is precious then a mere servant like me-".
"I said No!you are not a mere servant,you are family,my friend and sister.I order that you follow me".Vivian shook her head refusing to obey her order."GO".And she gave her a hard push that made her lose her balance and she fell off the cliff.Once,Vivian saw her princess landed safely,Vivian bright blue eyes turned cold as ice and she lunge them.
Eleanor who had gone unconscious for few minutes later regain her consciousness and she got to her feet and ran to the direction Vivian was.
By the time she got there,all the trees that had surrounded them was either on fire or was cut down,blood everywhere,no single soul was alive including.
"VIVIAN!!!".She let out a doleful cry that would make anyone that heard shiver.
She felt a sharp pain in her heart,like she was been shot in the chest."No,no,no.Vivian you can't die,you can't leave me".She said with sniffled sobs.
"E..Eleanor".She heard Vivian call with weak voice.
"Vivian,y..you're awake.let me go find a physician".She was about to stand when a hand appeared on her wrist stopping her.
"I...I won't make it".She struggled to say."Stay with me,please".Eleanor nods and sat next to her."Eleanor,you aren't the real her,are you?".Eleanor shook her head viciously as if she didn't answer quickly,Vivian might die."I knew from the start,you were never like her,you are opposite from that wicked soul".
"Am sorry I didn't tell you,a..am not from this world,I just slept and woke up and saw myself here. Am here to find answers to go back to my world,I...if I knew I wouldn't have come here and you wouldn't have died.A..am sorry I didn't tell you.Sorry,Sorry".Eleanor cried harder,holding Vivian's hand with all her might."Don't leave me,please".
"Go there,strengthen yourself and then go back home".Vivian gasps."What is your real name?".
"K..Kaitlyn".She muttered with broken voice.
"Kaitlyn make me proud".And she shut her eyes and gave up.
"VIVIAN!!!!".A loud shrill scream of agony echoes through the entire forest.
MEANWHILE IN ESMERALDA.
A butler knocks at Edward's room and entered when Edward grant him entrance.
"Your majesty".He called,panting heavily.
"What is it?".Edward asked,dryly.Tiredness was written all over his face.
"P...Princess Eleanor i. ..is...Missing".
"WHAT!!!".Edward got to his foot hastily,upsetting the table."What do you mean????I want you and the guards to lockdown the entrance to the castle and also the border.Stop everyone going in and out".Edward remembered her last word."She didn't go missing,she escaped.Search everyone and everything,she must not have gotten that far".He informs his personal knight who stood beside him.
His knight bow and ran out to inform others.
Edward grab his cloak,put it on and ordered."Let's go".He ran past the butler in search of his only daughter.
Dimitrix,Aurelia and Aurora along with Arystarr district heads and magistrates sat in the meeting chamber,updating Lord Dimitrix.
Sua,Zaki,Yung and Leopold.
"The villagers are lacking security,they often complain about bandits.Now they can't move freely on the streets".Yung reported.
Dimitrix gave him a bored expression."So".He drawl out.
"So,we need your assistance,Lord Dimitrix Leonid Aston the first son of Late Lord Zaki".
Dimitrix smiled."I didn't know you had such sweet tongue, I thought that was only used on women.Next month you will report the same over and over again.Aurelia if I may say didn't i give sir.Yung ninety hundred silver coins to take care of this bandit,pay them off and if they refuses I will take charge?".
"My brother did say that but why haven't you reported to us that you either paid or they didn't accept but no!you kept on reporting the same thing over again".Aurelia shifted her gaze to Dimitrix. "I think he gave those coins to his little sluts instead. What should be the rightful punishment for this offence?".
Dimitrix brows rose high in question. "What do you suggest,dear sister?".
Aurelia hums."You know my brother does not play when it comes to his people,you committed a horrible sin,sir.Yung and you need to be punished.You will be stripped from your position,house and all we have given you and you must work until you sweat and regain the ninety hundred silver back and pay us back.Meanwhile we will meet up with the bandit and punish them severely until then Aurora will be the district head for village 2".
Aurelia gave her verdict.
A wide smile appeared across Dimitrix and he gave a slight nod at his sister's direction to show how proud he was and she reciprocate the smile.
"Guard escort this thief out and let him fed for himself".
Immediately Yung was dragged out."Sua".He called and she shivered."Hope you will make me a little happy?".
"Ofcourse your lord.Mine is going well,no bandit,no disturbance and if there was they were punished mercilessly".Dimitrix nods."And we are recruiting young man for the upcoming battle".
"Thank you,Sua".His gaze shifted to the others and he said ."I hope your report will be as good as Sua".
"Yes,my lord".Both men choruses."I hope so".Dimitrix hoped.
He reclined his back on the chair and crosses both legs and gestured for Leopold to go first.
A sudden knock was heard,interrupting them as Erik came in and gave his bows to everyone in the room before he matched towards Dimitrix and informs.
"My Lord,trespassers are been spotted in the forest".
"Kill them all,no mercy".He ordered and waved him off.
"It must be those filthy muggles,no doubt".Zaki chimed in.
"Who else will dare to do that those brainless creature".Aurelia grimace before glaring at Erik who hadn't move a bit."Have you're ear gone deaf?".
"Get going Erik before my dear Aurelia chop your head off".Dimitrix advice. "My Lord".Erik lowered and whispered into his ear."Princess Eleanor is one of the trespasser-".Dimitrix got up so hastily earning questioning looks from everyone.
"Erik,lead the way".And he dash out as Erik follows.
