Chapter 54
"Ah! Thank you," Amelia smiled when Cyrus caught her after she jumped from her father’s window.
It was three floors up but Cyrus was adamant he would catch her so she trusted him like always.
Cyrus kept Amelia in his arms and ran away from below the king’s window before they could be caught. He was careful to run in the blind spots he used when sneaking around the castle. "We’re-"
"We’re under attack!" A guard yelled followed by a bell being rung.
"The castle is being attacked now? He’s here?" Amelia looked at Cyrus with panic written all over her face. Killian Bune was the only person she could think of to attack the castle. The entire timing throughout the night was odd. "We have to get to my grandmother and Gina. We need to find Gina first."
Cyrus quickly changed their direction to go towards the servant quarters. Gina was the type of person to panic and find herself in a lot of danger. As soon as they found her, he would take the both of them to Amelia’s grandmother and barricade the room until the castle would calm down.
’Should I speak with Killian as grandmother said? His enemy is no longer alive. Perhaps I can reason with him and meet whatever demands he might have,’ Amelia thought.
"Princess! Princess! What’s going on?" Gina yelled when she spotted Cyrus with whom she presumed was Amelia in his arms.
Cyrus swung around hearing Gina’s cries coming from behind them. "Gina, we have to find the king’s mother and then barricade ourselves in a room or flee the castle quickly."
