Coronation Of The Fake Princess

They were closing in on the edge of the cliff and he managed to swerve the carriage in the nick of time. But the carriage was beginning to tilt. The door swung open. Athena held her breath as she saw the vast drop beyond the cliff. She did her best to retreat as far back as she could. 

But due to the tilt, she found herself slipping down the floorboard. 

This was it. 

Athena knew she couldn't possibly survive this time. She squinted her eyes closed as braced for impact. But just as vertigo was about to grab her, she felt someone grab hold of her instead. 

In fact, there were two people. Not one. 

The chains that bound her hands and feet were destroyed in the blink of an eye. Then, she was yanked out of the carriage. Athena's heart was pounding as tears streamed down her face. 

"You're safe now, princess. You're safe," Zicheng comforted her as he gently rubbed her back.
