ATTACK: chapter 8

she woke up due to a peeking light blinding her eyes, she immediately knew it was morning.

"oh no!!! how come I slept?" she peeked through a hole again and saw all the tents being brought down, this Could only mean they were heading for noraxx kingdom.

Oh GOd!!! she has to find a way to leave this carriage because the moment they got to noraxx,all her plans would be futile.

they were almost done with their arrangements and were about going.

she thought of how fast she could leave but she couldn't think of anything quickly.

while she pondered about her plans, everyone had got set for the journey and some were getting on the carriage to drive while some stood back, front and side to walk.

that could be for the Kings protection. they began riding and she felt herself moving.

"no!! no!! hey can you hear me?"

she shouted banging on the wall so the person riding the carriage she was on would hear her.

"please you have to let me out of this carriage, please?"

she pleaded but no reply from the person

" look if you do this? I promise to set you free from that monster of a man, you just have to let me go first!!" she said

then she heard the person laughing loudly.

"oh princess, who said I wants to be free from my lovely king" he teasingly said while he laughed again.

she knew that voice! it was the soldier whom she had slashed his face.

"what is happening there?" she heard a soldier say.

" oh it's just this little wench who thinks she can free me from our king" he said then laughed and the others laughed with him.

" in her dreams!!!"

"she must be crazy to think that!!"

"does she think she can stand up against our strong mighty king, she is certainly mad"

she heard them all laugh again

"SILENCE ALL OF YOU!!!!" she heard someone ordered.

" YES GENERAL!" she heard them all utter.

all right! how could it be her worst enemy riding the carriage she was in??.

she sat back, now all her plans of escaping was a total waste . seems all she had to do was to wait for the next outcome.

and then again, she was starving, she had never felt so hungry in her entire life. she held her stomach as the pain hits her.

"oof!! if only there was something I could eat!"

then she looked at the hen in the carriage with her.

"if only you were a cooked grilled meat"

she sighed sadly and then laid and curled up herself in the carriage.

she looked at nowhere in particular for a while. was Tani still alive? could they have murdered father and mother? what would be left of Trozan kingdom now? those were the thought wandering in her mind.

her eyes flew to the hem of her gown, she was on her night gown before the war started and she had to run with it now it was all muddy and torn.

then again she heard something,it was like clinking of swords. the more she listened the more it got louder until someone shouted.

"PROTECT THE KING!! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!!"

the fight got fierce outside though she couldn't see a thing. but she immediately looked out on a hole again, that wasn't clearly enough to see what was happening but she could still see soldiers fighting.

she was still looking when something hard hit her carriage and she was forced to stumble back.

ouch!! she hurt her elbow, curious to know what hits the carriage, she peeped back in the hole and then saw king Lenore!! he was busy flying soldiers around like a piece of rag. all his soldiers made way as he only fought the attackers. he fought and killed in a brutal way until it was down to one. then he held him on the neck and took up him leaving his feet dangling in the air.

"tell me.... who sent you!!" he sent with a voice so chilling that it sent shivers through her.

the soldier was unable to speak due to him pressing tightly on his neck but out of anger. Lenore twisted his neck then throwing him on the ground lifeless.

"I need information about who sent them now!!" he said

"your Highness look!!"

a soldier had tore off one of the dead body sleeve and saw a symbol on a rope like tied on his arm and immediately informed their general.

Lenore eyes flew to the general squatting beside the dead body.

"what did you see Aaron? tell me?"

"it's a symbol and not just any symbol..... this is king Duke symbol!! your archenemy!" he said

Lenore frowned excitedly "really... is that so?"

"yes your majesty!! and what baffles me is that they are not in their uniforms,they seem to have come in disguise!" he stated

"oh Duke... always as tricky as ever tsk tsk" he chuckled

Aaron got up and stood in front of Lenore .

" your majesty! if this bothers you, should we perhaps send them back a message?"

he chuckled again this time more loudly and then placed his palm on Aaron's shoulder

"bothers me? Aaron haven't you learned to know your king can never be fazed by corner empty threats or perhaps do you doubt my possiblities now!!?"

Aaron immediately bowed " forgive my words your majesty!! for I would never dare to doubt your possibilities"

" very good! you should always keep that in mind!!"

" sure thing your majesty!!"

" inform everyone to get moving again!" he said and then got back into his carriage

"EVERYONE BACK TO YOUR POST!! WE WILL BE MOVING NOW!!" Aaron yelled as possible.

Soon afterwards they began moving again while Lilith pondered about what happened moments ago.

worse was that she also knew king Duke, he was also a friend of her father, there was a day where she heard him telling her father that king Lenore was not all that he seems, that he had a mysterious plans for her father.

but her father didn't believe and they almost lost their friendship due to king Duke warning him numerous times.

And now he must have heard the bad news, sitting on his throne and say "I knew of this to happen!! if only he had listened"

Lilith cried again, her father should have listened and be cautious and now everything has been wiped off their hands like a strong wind blew them away from their possession. power, respect, dignity and their people.

their flag had fallen and it's meaning, promise, oath fell down along with it. there was nothing left now!!

she just realized she doesn't even have a way of leaving the carriage,there was no way possible, she lost!!!

she cried and cried again until mother nature drew her into a deep slumber.
