Sleep Beside Her

His heart beating he stormed into the room and looked out the window but did not see her. He cursed himself for not making the guards stay at her door and now she had run off again.

He quickly walked out of the room and grabbed the first guard he saw and demanded.

"Where is princess Nairari?"

"She went to dinner my lord, she has not returned since then." The guard answered shakily at the look that was on the king's face, he looked like he was ready to commit murder.

"When was this?" He asked, his tone fearful of the answer.

"She was gone for a few hours my lord, I thought that maybe she had gone to the library."

"Where is the maid who was assigned to her?" Kael snapped, "Find her immediately!"

Without waiting, he started to go down the stairs on his way out when some maid servants and guards rushed to him.

"This is the maid my lord." The guard said and the maid cowered, her head bowed low.
