Chapter 131: Backbone
Nikolai barely used up to two minutes in getting rid of the guards at the door. He quickly disarmed them and knocked them unconscious instantly. I made my way inside the castle but the moment I stepped inside we met sox more guards standing right in the grand hallway, protecting the staircase that leads to my father’s study. To be honest it doesn’t quiet surprise me, he knew I was coming. He had to after the stunt he had pulled in the manor, he had expected me to show up.
But I bet one thing he didn’t think would happen when I show up, It’s to be so angry!
"We have orders to detain the princess, grab her!" One of the guards yelled.
Nikolai stepped forward in front of me, "You go find your father and keep Lady Ivana safe in a room somewhere." He ordered.
I nodded my head at him in response. Grabbing Ivana by her head, I turned to take the other stairs just as a guard approached us but Nikolai got to him first the next thing I heard was a thud on the ground but I didn’t bother to look back to find out what was happening. I led Ivana across the hallways and found an empty room. It was the drawing room so Ivana could be safe here.
"Stay here, don’t go anywhere. Take a look at the paintings, walk around, do whatever except come out of this room." I instructed her.
Ivana nodded her head at me, with a look of understanding on her face. "Got it, so I’m just supposed to pretend that things are completely fine while ignoring the fact that your father is trying to kill you?"
"Not the trip you had in mind, eh?" I asked with a smile on my face.
"Clearly!"
