Visit

Richard intentions was to visit king jasper, if he had told Jessie, he knew she would never allow him.

Hey,who are you,a voice shook him off his thoughts.

I'm Richard, tell your king , Richard is here ,he would definitely understand.

Do you have an appointment with the king,

Hmmm,an appointment, do I still need one, when I have his daughter as an appointment .

The guards turned looking at themselves, this must be the guy who kidnapped the princess, they said among themselves.

Hold on ,we still have to inform the king.

~~~~~~

Your majesty, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I have a message for you.

The guard said bowing down.

King jasper, uttered, don't waste my time,Go On.

A guy, named Richard, came,he insinuated he is the one who abducted the princess 

King jasper knew, he was talking about Richard, let him in he ordered.

Yes your majesty, the guard gave a bow and rushed out,

~~

Poor guy,I think you must be scared for your life, seeing you here, one of the guards said while chuckling,pray the king doesn't kill you.

Just then, another guard came , Richard whatever you call yourself, the king wants to see you, you are so dead.

What kind of a person runs towards his own grave ,

Giving a hard look to the guard, Richard walked away,

~~~

Richard, look who we got here, king jasper said standing up from his sit,

Richard, you must be very foolish to come here alone, king jasper smiled.

Jasper,I think you are also a schmuck to think I came here alone,so let's get straight to work.

King jasper walked towards Richard, grabbing him on his collar, where is my daughter, king jasper shouted angrily.

What daughter, the one you plan on killing, come on jasper, stop acting childish, what makes you think I still have her with me,

What do you think a mafia will be doing with a princess, relax jasper, Richard said pushing his hands from his collar.

Well I decided to take my revenge on her instead.

Revenge, king jasper repeated, what do mean by revenge.

Stop acting dense, jasper, you killed my parents, and raped my only sister to death,

You killed Jessie, king jasper asked.

Good job Richard, well that isn't a revenge,I also want her dead, he replied while breaking into an evil laughter.

Come on Richard, try new things from now on,

Since you've killed her Richard, let's put our differences aside and cooperate together.

I know you are a professional mafia, use this skill of yours to work for me, and of course you will get paid,stop pretending you don't like money,

Jasper, Richard called out giving him a terrifying look,I don't want your money.

Then what do you need, jasper asked.

I've always wondered, how it felt to own a kingdom, rule my subjects, get high authority over everybody, and so on , how about you trade your throne for me,

Shut up, king jasper ordered, you fool, you've went too far,stop dreaming of what you will never acquire till death.

Oh really,then I guess I'll just launch my attack, get prepared for war jasper,I'm coming to eliminate you once and for all .

Jasper gave him a smirk, Richard you are indeed really foolish, stop joking around, what do have to fight against me, look around you,no support,no power,no influence,so how do you intend to win against me,stop playing with your life, come to your senses,

Then I guess time shall tell , Richard turned to take his leaved ,he stopped walking, turned around and said, maybe your daughter support is what I need after all .

What are you trying to say, king jasper asked in curiosity

Jessie is very much alive,I would never trade her life to a dog like you.

After a moment of silence,he walked away from king jasper.

What, Jessie is alive, which means,they will be coming back for me, guards, guards, king jasper called out.

Yes your majesty, bring that fool to me, close the gates don't let him escape.

Yes your majesty .

The guards dashed out to seize Richard, but they were not able to find him anywhere,

They came back to king Jasper breathing heavily, your majesty,we searched everywhere for him but we still can't find him.

What, you morons, king jasper roared , there's no way Richard might have gotten to the gates so quickly,we just spoke a few minutes ago,search round,he must be hiding somewhere, now, king jasper ordered.

Richard ran towards a room, the room was dark and dusty , with no proper air ,he ran inside,I shouldn't have tell him Jessie is alive, damn it .

Just then he heard someone sniffing,

Richard brought out a knife, hurriedly, who's there,he stretched his knife forward ready to attack, show your self ,he brought a touch from his bag, pointing the touch up he saw a shadow Walking pass him, turning around he found nothing in the room,

Not when he felt a tap on his legs,he turned around in one swift Motion to attack .

Please help me, please,A little girl cried out to him.

Who are you child, and what are you doing here alone.

The little girl kept crying,shhhh, they'll hear us,

Where are your parents, it's okay I'll take you to them but stop crying for now, okay.

After calming the little girl who was crying.

Hey girl, I'm in a hurry,I don't know where you came from, and why are you looking starved,

I can help you out of this place, the little girl replied.

Really,do you know the way out,

Yes,the girl said giving him a nod.

My daddy always showed me around the palace, there is an underground,in the corridor close to the laundry room outside,

Really, what's your name little girl, Richard asked holding her hand.

Lilly,my name is Lilly she answered in a low voice.

 Okay,I know you're very hungry, here's a burger, you can have these,

Richard said bringing out a burger from his bag,

Alright, let's go, you're ready.

Richard carried her in his arms running out from the room.

Richard knew he had to survive, not just for himself but also for Jessie,

If king jasper were to kill him, that would definitely be the end of Jessie,

They ran towards the laundry room,they were lot of workers, both women and men ,he looked around but didn't see a sign of any underground basement, are you sure of what you're saying Lily,why can't I find it,

Bring me down, she said to Richard.

Child, this is not time for joke , are you sure of this damn basement you're talking about.

Maybe, it's not here sir, little Lily replied facing down .

What,jeez, what have you done, child, Richard shouted feeling frustrated.

Catch that bastard,a voice came from behind, The guards ran towards them, Richard picked little Lily up, and ran towards a different direction,

The guards kept firing shorts at him,

At this point, Richard was lost,he couldn't find his way to the gates, the palace was so large,

~~~~~~~~~

Night came, and the guards were still out chasing Richard,

Richard felt really exhausted with Lilly in his arms,if he were to fight back, little Lily might get hurt,

Feeling tired,he stopped running and fell down with little Lily on his arms .

Just when he was about to give up,he caught sight of a deep pit from a far distance, picking up Lilly again,he walked towards the pit,

Alright,Lily I want you to go in, careful, Richard assisted Lily In getting inside, after which he jumped in.

The pit led to basement which guarded them out of the palace, Richard felt a little bit of calmness in his heart, but Lily seems to be the issue,

Bending to meet her level down.

He held Lily hands,so girl tell me, where are you from, where are your parents.

Lilly stayed quiet, Without giving him a response.

Oh, did you get abandoned,or you lost your way, something like that.

Lily remained silent, staring at Richard eyes 

Alright,then I'll drop in a children care home, it's too dangerous for you to come with me,

I know the way to my aunt's place, Lilly replied.

Then lets get there, Richard brought out a cellphone to make a call, but it didn't went through, maybe jasper is right,I must be really foolish to come here alone, what if I get killed.

Lily was able to lead him to her aunt place,

Lilly,a woman shouted,she came down from Richard arms and ran towards the woman.

Thank you so much sir, the woman said bowing down to Richard, her parents are dead, king jasper killed them and locked her up,I couldn't meet him and ask for Lily for fear that I might get killed,I'm her aunty.

How can a king be this wicked and heartless , Richard thought to himself in annoyance,I must seek justice for her.

I'm sorry and I know it must be hard for you,

Please feed her properly, she's looking so pale, i'll be Taking my leave now,

Yes sir, Thank you so much sir,

Richard gave Lily a smile and said,

Bye Lilly, ruffling her hair , and don't forgot my name is Richard.

He winked at her Lily.

And walked away.
