(Regaleons’ POV) My men and I galloped at a fast pace towards the Jennovian palace. The twenty minutes travel time by horse was shortened to between ten to fifteen minutes. The palace walls were seen by a distance. ’I am nearly there Alicia.’ I said inwardly. My eyes were surveying the palace walls for an entrance. William had told us about a hidden passage way in the palace walls hidden with thick bushes. He has told me that the indicator was cypress trees lined in one side of the palace…-

(Regaleons’ POV) My men and I arrived at the location point Duke Matias have told us to wait. The sun had just set when William and a lady with Alicia’s looks arrived at the meeting area. This woman would be Alicia’s mother no doubt. "Your majesty. Greetings to the sword and shield of the Grandcrest Empire." William kneeled before me gallantly. "Rise Sir William." I said. "No need for formalities here." We are currently in the enemy’s territory and are under disguise. Even though this…

The guards around didn’t know what to do. The queen ordered for the princess to be killed while the crown prince ordered to not to. "What are you waiting for?! I am your queen." Queen Patricia looked at her men in rage. "Do as I say!" The guards with bows readied their weapon and aimed their arrows on Alicia. "NO!" Gladiolus let go of his mother and tried to stop the guards from shooting. His face was full of fear. But Gladiolus was too late. The arrow flew into the night sky and was heading…

(This chapter will be written in a third person view) When Jennovia’s guards with Queen Patricia and Prince Gladiolus arrived, what they saw was a scene of sadness. The crown prince’s concubine Elizabeth was lifeless. Her body was being cradled in Alicia’s arms, with three arrows protruding. Alicia’s face was pale in anguish and sorrow. Her face was stained with tears while new tears were still flowing from her eyes. Gladiolus was shocked by this scene. He never wanted any harm to befall his…

The explosives made a huge explosion. When I opened my eyes I saw the wall had crumbled down and the debris littered everywhere. There was now a way out of the palace. "Come men, let’s go." Jack waved to his men. I also got up from where I was hiding when I saw arrows flying towards us. "Arrows!" I yelled. Just then I didn’t realize that an arrow was heading towards me. "ALICIA!" Jack yelled. I looked at the flying arrows towards me with wide eyes. It was like time was in slow motion;…

I ran towards where the explosion is. I am sure that masquerade ball was also halted with the explosion and the nobles inside the ball room are panicking. The guards will have a lot of work to calm the noble people down. I tried to be extra careful going to the explosion site. Many guards are on high alert right now. ’Jack, please be safe.’ I thought and wished in my heart. When I arrived at the scene, I hid behind a tree. At the ground I saw a huge hole and the smoke was coming up from there.…

I looked around and when I saw no one around I was about to dash towards the bushes when I heard a guard speak. "Hey you!" The guard said. I was frozen in place after hearing those words. ’Oh no, sh*t!’ I cursed inwardly, my heart was thumping really hard right now. ’Was I caught? Just when I was half way trhu.’ "Why are you dilly dallying while here?" The guard asked. That was then when I saw he was talking to another guard. This made sigh in relief. ’So I wasn’t found out. Thank…

Once I saw Gladiolus and Elizabeth head to the dance floor, Karolina and I head towards the lounge area. "Our plans will now commence." Karolina said and I nodded in understanding. We walked towards the lounge area and entered one of the rooms meant for the royals. Once inside, we guaranteed first that there was no one around and locked the door. "Your highness, I have brought you some spare clothing." Karolina said while handing the clothing to me. The spare clothing consists of shirt and…

The sun had just set and Gladiolus and I got to the ballroom just in time. Inside was filled with nobles invited for the said event. They were all wearing their masks with different decorations. "I guess we need to wear our masks now." Gladiolus said and waved to his servant. Not long the servant came back with a box. When he opened it, there were matching white masks with gold accent inside. Gladiolus took out the female mask and looked at me. "Here, let me help you." Gladiolus said. He gently…

I was surrounded by maids left and right. The four maids were working on me, brushing and styling my hairs, putting make up on my face, and readying my jewelry and dress for me to wear after everything is done. The dress Madam Viola made for me is colored cream white with gold threads embroidered on it. Gladiolus had sent gold jewelry to match my dress. Looking at the dress and the jewelry, I sighed sadly. My attire tonight was like I was being presented as Gladiolus’ bride. *knock knock* There…
