Elena’s footsteps sounded so loud that it was not surprising for her to get attention. But she didn’t care even when the silence in the castle made its sound echo even more.
The only ones still awake at that time of night were the soldiers who made their rounds. There were also the servants outside. Nevertheless, Elena knew that she couldn’t create so much ruckus as the king might be disturbed as well
Still, Elena walked with speed. When she arrived at her destination, she kicked the door of the maids’ bedroom suddenly, and the noise woke them up.
They all look at Elena terrified, but immediately they all bowed when she took the maid who had cleaned her boots by the neck, raised her from the floor, and hit the wall.
“What’s the name of the girl I sent to the stables?!” Elena demanded.
The woman could not breathe, much less speak, and Elena, possessed by her anger, released her so that she fell to the
She looked at him and nodded, and she already knew that he would say something like that. While looking at him, she said, “Look, tomorrow they will go to the temple for the blessings, and then they will go to the regent’s tour. If they go on the regent’s tour, you will not be able to reach her, she will go for ten weeks to establish her reign, and there is no way that you will follow her in that time.”Ethan glanced at her and nodded. He had a thoughtful expression on his face as he decided that it had to be the next day.Then, smiling, he looked in front of her and said, “I didn’t think you were going to do so much for me after this. But I really appreciate it.” That was the truth. If not for Lulabay, he was so sure that he would be long dead.Lulabay shook her head and then replied with a smile, “I’m not doing so much for you, and you plan to face the entire army for her. That is impressive.”E
The king applauded while looking at Elena with a wide smile. He then praised loudly, “Bravo! Excellent work, Elena. You have done a great job. Tomorrow when the moron of the savior shows up, you will kill him, and everything will be fine for us!”The young woman nodded, and the king walked away with total happiness. It was his way to say that he was leaving the rest of the work for Elena to handle.But before leaving, he said, “Send a statement to the northern troops, let them say we caught a spy!”Elena nodded and then looked at the poor girl. She smiled so wide as she walked towards Lulabay.“It’s time to talk, miss!” Elena said with a confident grin.Lulabay was scared of what would happen to her next. She would not betray Ethan, and because of that, Elena would surely make things difficult for her.She still had a hidden pill, but she wouldn’t use it. She would keep it in case they decided
When Ethan heard what the soldier had said, his back suddenly stiffened. Execution. That was the word that he really dreaded.The young man looked up, terrified. He was sweating so bad with worry as he looked towards the castle. In his mind, he was thinking of ways to save Lulubay. However, a part of him was worried that he did not have the capability to do so!With that possibility, Ethan knew that he needed to know more. So he continued to listen to the conversation.“Mrs. Elena is going to execute her at the same time that the queen gives her speech. I think it is so as not to attract too much attention from her. However, she will do it in the square,” the guard continued casually talking as if life was not involved at all.Ethan gritted his teeth and glared at the soldiers. He thought about taking that soldier and questioning him, but that would reveal his position, and now he knew that more than ever, he needed to be invisible. It was his
Ethan knew that it was the right moment. If he would not intervene at that moment, Lulabay would surely died. If that really happened, Ethan knew that he would feel even worse than what he had felt the time that the planet was destroyed, and he only managed to save the babies.He would carry the guilt in his entire life. Not to mention, he was the real reason why Lulubay was branded as a traitor because she had helped him. He thought that she was all safe when she left him the day before, but seeing that she was like this, Ethan knew that he needed to save her even if he died.The poor girl had experienced so much just to help him.With that in mind, Ethan felt the determination building up within him. He released a heavy breath before he started working with his plan. It did not take long for him to decide what to do.So without wasting any more time, Ethan pushed back all negative thoughts and possibilities in the back of his mind and, with all his stre
However, this time, she had received that impactfully. There was no possibility that she was in perfect condition. Perhaps it was a good opportunity.She looked at hers, her men, everyone expected to see her in action, and her peer pressure led her to accept. With her calm, she looked at Ethan and said, “Sword! I don’t want them to think that I will have an advantage!”She was really arrogant, and Ethan would take advantage of that calmly. He took Lulabay, and without anyone noticing, he gave her one of the pills. The young woman regained her strength and mobility and saw Ethan between whispers, and she said, “You are insane? Elena is going to kill you! “Ethan looked at her and calmly said, “Listen, take this ... When the fight is over, regardless of who wins, press the button.”She looked at the control without understanding what the savior was referring to, but he had come for her. She couldn’t just ignor
When Ethan heard that, he nodded. His gaze then shifted towards the kingdom, but he knew perfectly well that the things he could do by himself were not the most coherent. Trying to invoke patience that he did not possess, he nodded and, looking at Lulabay, said.“How long does the trip take in that direction?”She smiled and calmly said.“It will take a week at the latest to arrive, maybe a little longer because normally traveling with you is not easy.”She, with a smile, said.“Luckily, Elena was so obsessed with hunting you that the woman didn’t even bother to send a statement with my face, so with the locket, we can move well.”Ethan looked at him, a little enough water for her to return to normal, and that pleased him. Looking straight ahead, the man nodded when he said.“I hope the trip is easier than what we have had to do so far!”Smiling, Lulabay nodded. There was no
Ethan nodded, and looking at nothing again, he said.“Ok, we’ll get to that city, and then what?”She smiled and saw Ethan say.“In that city, we will take the train, and the train will save us three or four days on the way, to the coastal city of Mampu in Manpu we will take a boat that will take us to the northern lands, simple as it sounds.”Ethan smiled and, looking at the girl, said.“It doesn’t sound that simple, and it sounds like it’s really far away.”She shrugged and saw what the boy said.“We have to avoid big cities and checkpoints. That’s why we’re going this way, don’t worry, a week, a week and a half, and we’ll be there.”Ethan nodded when he lay down on the floor of the wagon, his eyes looked at the blue sky, and a strange hawk soared through the sky smoothly, flying with intensity and determination, as if he was following t
Lulabay thought it was the end, she thought that this was the moment where everything was over, the danger felt closer than even on that occasion that Elena was waiting for her in her room, she closed her eyes to wait for the bite when Ethan ran to At full speed he was shouldering the huge wolf and sending him tumbling down the hill.Ethan was completely terrified, and his breathing was agitated. He had never fought with an animal, not of that size, and the way he attacked Lulabay, full of violence and intention, made him think that something was wrong.The girl looked behind him, and he turned quickly to follow his gaze and saw two more wolves appear covering his path. Scared, Ethan looked at the hawk, and an idea occurred in his mind when he said."These wolves are normally that violent?"Lulabay shook her head as he looked at the wolves, they seemed determined to finish them off, and that scared her, Ethan calmly said."Those brothers have a haw
