Chapter 36: Waiting for good news
Abrielle’s horse arrived at the castle, and she was immediately welcomed by a knight. "There is a Khoas in the forest." She informed the Knights. She had to act like she cared a bit to look like a good wife, at least.
"What is a khaos doing in this parts?" Elias muttered as he helped Abrielle off the horse.
"Don’t worry Cedric will be fine." He said although he had a feeling Abrielle could care less if her husband survived or not. She nodded at him, and Elias signalled some guards to come over.
"Get the princess to safety." He instructed then Abrielle was taken away into the castle. Her thoughts were wandering all over the place. She could not help but think about Cedric. Without a doubt, she knew he was going to die.
What was going through that psycho’s head that he decided to face such a monster that was considered unstoppable? Khoas was one of the biggest threats in the novel, which the male lead had a difficult time fighting; he fought the entire night and almost died if the female lead had shown up to save him in the nick of time.
Abrielle was taken to the underground safe house in the basement. There were several safe houses within the tunnel, but a separate one was given to her since she was the princess.
The got to the basement, and stopped in front of an old torch that was burning. The torch was blown off the twisted making a creaking noise.
Dust was falling from the cracks as the wall shook then a secret passage was reviewed. Two guards and a maid followed her to escort her through the dark tunnel that was lit by the soft golden light of the candles.
It was cold and dimly lit with their footsteps echoing throughout the endless passage. Abrielle didn’t say a thing and just followed. She was so far away from the surface that she couldn’t hear the deafening growls but the ground was trembling.
