THE FUTURE IS BEHIND.

Chapter 1. My escape.

Running away from home is just the only option I have right now to stay away from this toxic man, how can I even survive a day with a man I never loved? A wicked and heartless man.

I have to make a plan now before it becomes too late to escape.

What if I run away with my daughter, will I succeed?

What if he sends his men after me?

How will I manage to outrun them?

But this is my only chance, if I can make it to the Moon Sea outside the borders before dawn, he will not notice I’m gone and before he realizes it, I will be two steps ahead.

But I have a problem, how will I run away with my little baby without being noticed? Or should I leave her behind?

He has placed a spell on this bangle on her wrist, if she goes close to the Khah’s Kingdom Magic barriers, it will trigger the alarm and I will be spotted in no time.

What will I do? Should I leave my baby behind and run for my life and come back later? What if she dies?

What if she make it and escape alone, will she accept me when I come back for her? After knowing that I ran away just to save myself? No! For now, I will do what I have to just for my baby, I don’t care if she recognizes me or accepts me when I return but for her sake I need to leave this place, she may not understand it now but she will when the time comes.

I went to my babies bed and kissed her and dropped a letter and made a hidden love spell with the purple crystal on it to protect the details in the letter, yes this will make anyone who sees this pieces of paper to think its empty but whoever desires to see me with a pure intention will be able to break the spells of the letter and will be able to read everything that is written on it and do what it says, when that happens, I will be prepared for my next plan or whatsoever that will happen after.

I left the large room and thank God the guards were already drunk with wine, I tip toed and passed them without being noticed. This was my first victory and a sign that fate wants me out of this place. Khah’s Kingdom had three main gates before the palace.

I got to the first gate and realized that it was heavenly guarded as this was my first time leaving my room talk more of the palace premises, how will I cross this first gate without being noticed?

I almost gave up until I saw someslaves being taken away to the courtyard after the first gate and I managed to join them without the guards noticing, as we walked pass through the first gate I cautiously ran to hid behind a small wall that is few inches away from the courtyard and when the slaves were taken into the courtyard, I stepped out, looking for a way and planning on how to get to the second gate when a someone taped me from behind. No!, no!!no!!!this is not happening, I screamed inside.

How will I survive the torture this wicked and heartless man will give to me? Knowing that I was trying to escape from the Khah’s Compound, what lie will I tell this guard to make him think, I wasn’t trying to escape but was just observing the slaves, but how will I do that? Knowing that I needed King Selem’s approval to even leave my room talk more of crossing the first gate? I have to be bold, I am the queen of this kingdom and I must act with action and authority, so that the guard will be afraid and feel timid and let me go inside at least without reporting to my husband King Selem.

My heart was beating faster than usually as I stood up and look, ah… it wasn’t a guard I smiled inwardly, what a relief, my heart was now at rest, it was our chief cook Kh Jeon.

Her Royal Majesty he said as he bowed.

I was shocked to see him but at the same time relieved it wasn’t a heartless king’s guard who on sight will land me into a bigger problem, you can rise I said as I maintained my flair as the queen of the land. What are you doing here Kh Jeon? I thought your duties are in the King’s kitchen? I asked as to make him a little bit timid.

I am on my way to serve this food to the king’s guards at the gate as it is part of my job description your highness, but my queen, I am surprised to see not that I am trying to question or anything but I am just worried about what will happen to you if the king’s guard sees you and what the King Selem will do to you if he finds out you left the palace walls especially now that he restricted you from living your chambers. Hope all is well my queen or has King Selem decided to allow you to step out of your chambers?

He had a lot of unanswered questions which I am not even ready to start answering, I quickly raised my right hand and used my two fingers to block his mouth from making more sounds as he was already making too many sounds because I am avoiding being spotted by the king’s guards, I dragged him to the back of the courtyard and asked him whether I can trust him with whatever I am going to say or do and without hesitation he said my queen, yes you can.

I told him that I want to tell him a secret which I want him to keep between me and him without a third party hearing about it and he agreed.

I am trying to escape from Khah’s Kingdom and I want you to help me and I will really appreciation if you will not ask too many question but just help me, I will surely reward your kindness when I return.

My queen, how will you escape alone when you have a two years old daughter in the palace, what do you think king Selem will do to her when he finds out that you are nowhere to be found and have escaped? He will definitely kill her and torture her more than what he has done to you, or do you have another plan for your daughter?

Hot tears started dropping from my eyes, he was right, how will I even escape from Khah’s Kingdom without my daughter, what mother on earth does such a thing? But I really do not have any other choice than to save myself first, I have a strong feeling that she will definitely survive even though there is no guarantee that it will be easy on her but it cannot end like this, she will surely survive, I know it.

I understand Kh Jeon, I have planned everything and I know she will survive but that is not the issue now, will you help me cross the second gates as you have an approval from the king to deliver food to the guards at the other side of the second gate and moreover I am not leaving my child in the hands of this wicked king Selem, for I know what he is capable of doing but I will surely return but with an army of my own and when I do the heavens will rain down blood on what King Selem and his mother, his uncle and grandfather plotted against and did to my entire family and especially my twin brother Wgheneo.
