The One Who Really Cares....

Acantha and the boy, who she still hasn't asked the name of, got off the carriage, and they saw a big, tall wall.

"Is this where they took your mother?" Acantha asked the boy, and the latter nodded at her.

"What's your and your mother's name again?" Acantha continued to ask as they were walking near the gate of the place.

"My name is Benedict, and my mother's name is Beth." The boy answered as he looked at her innocently, but Acantha saw worries and fear in his eyes.

"Alright, Benny, Let's find your mother," Acantha said when they finally reached the gate.

She saw that the place was guarded very well. "You can't go in," one of the knights who was guarding the place said as he stopped her from entering the place.

Acantha glared at the guard, but she remembered that they are the ones who need something from them. She sighed as she looked at the guard again.
