Another way

The forest was silent, only the wind rustling the dry leaves. In the middle of the lushness, far from the dark and mysterious cave entrance, Darnisha was stunned. There, stood Prince Enver, his figure dashing in his royal uniform, with his sister, Alana, who always looked graceful. Around them, the palace guards stood guard, their faces tense and alert.

Darnisha could not hold herself back. Her feet moved nimbly, crashing through the bushes and spreading tree roots. Tears were already wetting her cheeks when she arrived in front of them.

"Prince Enver..." Her voice was choked, barely audible amidst the roar of her heart.

Enver, who had been talking to a guard, turned his head. His eyebrows knitted together when he saw Darnisha running towards them. He wanted to throw his anger, demanding an explanation for Prince Cyrill's whereabouts. However, before he could open his mouth, Alana's hand grabbed his arm, signaling him to hold back.
