141 The Next Part It took her a while of thinking for her to consider the answer to the first riddle, or what she thought was the right one. But where was she supposed to put it was the next question. Standing up she began to look around the room again, it didn’t seem to her still that there was any kind of place to put the answer to the question. There was no door, no panel that she could see on the wall to type anything into, no computer or device to interact. What was Jovani expect her to do? He…

140 The Secret Answer Glancing up from the piece of paper, she looked around the room. From what she could see there was absolutely no where in the room for her to input the answer to the riddles on the paper. Was this just another trick to waste time, or was there something she was missing? She brushed a hand over her forehead, the heat wasn’t helping in the slightest, but she needed to figure out what was going on quickly if she wanted to be able to make it any further long. Clive and Romeo were…

139 Riddles Stepping forward, Lena grabbed the piece of paper out and unfolded. “Based upon the presumption that directions were followed the reader of this should be the queen. If so, continue forward and determine what the next best step would be.” That was the length of the instruction on the note with nothing else written on either side of the paper. How was that supposed to help her know what she needed to do? Aside from the two different hallways in the room, there was no clues or…

138 Following the Instructions Lena read through the instructions one more time. Taking them in carefully to make sure that there was nothing she had missed from reading them the first time. Two hours felt like it would be more than enough time, but that as basing it off the fact that she didn’t expect the warehouse or whatever type of building that they were in to be that large. “Princess, what do you think the best course of action to take would be?” Romeo was the first one to speak up after…

137 Game When the car parked where Lena suspected was the back of the building she signaled for Clive and Romeo to stay inside the vehicle while she got out to head towards what she believed must’ve been the door. She didn’t think that there was any reason to let Jovani know she was there, she figured that once she input the code that the security system would let him know that someone was getting ready to enter the building. 𝒾n𝘯𝒓𝙚а𝑑. 𝓬𝑜𝙢 Even though there didn’t seem to…

136 Destination The two hours passed by Faster than Lena had expected them to as the timer she had set on her watch caused her wrist to vibrate. It was the best way she thought to keep track of how long passed and when she needed to really pay attention to her surroundings for land marks and anything else that would indicate the area she was in. Clive had insisted on taking one of the unmarked cars they went out in for general trips in order to not stand out since they were moving into territory that…

135 Heading Off What Jovani had sent her in the text message an address and the time of when he expected her to be there by. Looking at the address she had no idea where it was until she put it into GPS. IT was in a part of New Jersey that she hadn’t frequented much. Her father had an idea of where it was as he had been in the area in the past but not enough to know where exactly it was. Out of precaution, she decided to use a secondary device for the GPS just to make sure that she didn’t have to…

134 Preparations By the time the sun started to come up, Lena had already been up and getting together everything that she wanted to have in order before she left. She wasn’t sure if anyone else had been able to sleep, but she didn’t have much time to think about that when she had a lot to get together. Clive and Romeo were already up and waiting for her when she came down from the second floor. They weren’t sure what to expect either, but they wanted to make sure that she knew that both of…

133 Long Night Lena already knew that she wasn’t going to be able to sleep, even though she would need sleep for the next day she knew that her mind wouldn’t slow down enough for her to be able to sleep. She ate dinner but that was only because her father refused to let her go the whole day without eating anything since there was no way of knowing what to expect for the next day. The princess didn’t eat much however, she settled for having breakfast for dinner by requesting toast, eggs, and…

132 Irrational The call ended a few seconds after Jovani had approved of her answer and bid her a good night. She hardly put her phone down before her father was on her about what she had just agreed to. “What were you thinking by saying you’d agree to his terms? You don’t even know what he’s planning.” The exasperation was evident in his voice as he looked at his daughter despite knowing what the answer to the question already was. “I agreed because it was exactly what you would’ve…
