The atmosphere of the Kingdom of Canbrai looks calm, the peace created since the King Frithestan majored in the needs of his people rather than selling food to other kingdoms. There was a frenzy of welcoming the presence of some slaves who entered the palace grounds, the guards did the selection as usual.
Daniel was standing next to the royal guard, waiting for the female slave to enter in a few more seconds.
"Stop!" The royal guard who was a confidant of the Frithestan stopped the female slaves in front of the palace door.
Benhard approached Daniel, watching the girls as usual, "Please be chosen at King's request, sir."
Daniel looked at the beautiful girl, more like Solenne. He approached the young girl, "What's your name, miss?"
"Bissa, sir," the beautiful young lady looked down respectfully at Daniel.
"Take this woman, ask the maid to clean it. He will I present to the young Emperor" Daniel gave the order to Benhard.
"Okay sir" Benhard continued his work, at Daniel's behest.
Thattan was busy with some archery exercises in a special room in the palace until late at night. Accompanied by several guards. He was too excited, ignoring the small bump on his head.
Thirty minutes later, Daniel came to ask the guard for the young Emperor's whereabouts, "Where's the King?"
The guard opened the door of the palace's archery room which was quite spacious with the sky wide open, "please welcome sir."
"Hmm."
Daniel entered the archery room, approached the Emperor, "Have you forgotten King's dinner?"
"Bring me a room dinner. Have you found the girl I commanded, how many slaves entered the palace. Please take care of your Majesty, because he is all I have right now. I don't want to lose her like the Queen left, "Thustan continues his activities.
Daniel had since only seen the activities of the young Emperor being focused with arrows without caring about his existence.
Not long after, a bodyguard named Benhard approached them with a slightly frightened face, approaching Daniel, "Sir, the girl ran away."
Daniel yelled loudly at Benhard, until he heard that, "Stupid, taking care of the slaves is not stupid, find him before I send him to the underground prison!"
Benhard leaves Daniel and Thustan, rushing to find the missing girl Bissa with Solenne, "Where are they, don't they want to live long in this world!"
Thentan stared fixedly at Daniel, "Who's missing?"
"The boy who was King, I've asked the maid to clean up the girl, but she's missing from the palace" Daniel explained in a whisper.
Thustan growled, "How dare he run away from my palace, seek him until he can. Who took him away, I'll make a calculation with him. How dare he leave my palace!"
Daniel rushes to find out, how can a young slave be able to escape, leaving the palace without the royal guard knowing.
"Well, I will cut off his head if I find the foolish girl," Daniel was a little anxious, as he would threaten his position in the palace as a confidant of the Canbrai Kingdom.
Daniel went around the palace, asking all the guards to close all access so that no one could leave the palace.
Benhard approached Daniel in the hallway, "Master, we lost Solenne!"
Daniel's brownish pupil roundly looked at Benhard, "What, Solenne's missing too?"
"Yes, sir."
"You look for them until you can live or die, I don't care. You understand!" Daniel makes a loud noise to Benhard, not expecting that Thustan is standing behind them.
"Solenne, what's wrong with my girl, did she also leave the palace. You search until you get it, otherwise I'll throw it out of Canbrai's palace!" thattan's loud voice again sounded very frightening to all of his bodyguards and confidants.
Daniel immediately carried out the young emperor's order, unwilling to argue, "Death to me, this will be my last day to see the sun."
All the bodyguards moved quickly to find the whereabouts of the maid and the two girls who had escaped from the Canbrai royal palace. It didn't take long, the two bodyguards were able to find Solenne and Bissa running fast in the middle of the forest.
The atmosphere of the night was very gripping, did not ignite the courage of the two beautiful women to escape from the royal palace of Canbrai. The fear was so overwhelming that the threat of death in the hands of the young emperor was clearly imagined in their minds.
"Quickly, the bodyguards will find our whereabouts," Solenne continued to gallop in search of a hiding place that little more they would find.
The guard's hand quickly grabbed Bissa's tiny running body, placed on the horse with a triumphant smile, "where will you run the stupid girl!"
Bissa was powerless to rebel, only resigned without seeing the existence of Solenne. An overwhelming fear raged in the young girl's head, as she desperately fled the palace.
"Lord, protect Solenne. Don't let Canbrai's royal guard find her, "Bissa cried on a horse that carried her body so tightly, imagining her own death.
Solenne continued to run, finding a small cave and forcing her tiny body to go in there in fear, "Lord, help me. I do not want to die and be tortured by the emperor. I beg you."
The sound of Solenne's cry awakens a man's sleep in a pitch-black cave.
Yeah, that guy was Masson from the Bordeaux Kingdom, "Who are you?"
Solenne let out a small scream, jumped in shock at the figure of a resolute man with a baritone voice greatly startling her, "Aaaaaaaaaagh!"
Masson grabbed the lantern and lit it to see the figure of the woman who was standing before him.
Some of the Bordeaux Royal guards were shocked to hear a woman's voice with them.
"Who are you?" Masson stared fixedly at Solenne's face.
Solenne grew increasingly surprised, seeing a violent man and a few bodyguards approaching her, "Sorry Master, don't hurt me. I'm just taking refuge here from the pursuit of the Canbrai Royal Guard, I'm just a runaway slave sir."
Solenne's cry was unstoppable, there was fear in her head. Especially when he heard the Canbrai Kingdom guards approaching the small cave of their hiding place.
"Turn off the lantern, you fool!" Masson ordered his bodyguard.
The guards immediately dimmed the lantern light, so as not to be seen by the Canbrai guards getting closer to them.
"Find Solenne, otherwise we will return to the palace with this little girl" the bodyguard shouted at the other colleague.
They scoured the locations around the cave where Solenne and the Kingdom of Bordeaux were hiding, but were unable to find their whereabouts.
"Bangssat, this will threaten my head. It's getting late, here are a lot of beasts, we better leave this place soon. I don't want to die for nothing here. We've taken that stupid girl to the palace, only, we've lost track of Solenne. This will be a new problem for all of us," the bodyguards returned on horseback, turning towards the palace.
While Solenne and Masson are still sheltering with thick blankets of dusty and very stifling, due to the fear she is able to hold all for the sake of her own safety.
Masson ordered the guards to look around the cave, "Have they left yet?"
"Already Prince, all is safe," one of the guards went into the cave to meet Masson.
Masson nodded, able to breathe a sigh of relief, "You're safe."
Solenne clasped his hands together, bowing before Masson, "Thank you Prince, I owe you my life."
