The Rise Of The Queen Ernest

Feeling Restless

The sky was already dark by the time they arrived at the hunting grounds. Tents for them to rest must have been prepared by the soldiers who were sent first to clean the place and to keep watch so that there were no robbers or anything.

It was the fourteenth which meant one more day ahead of the fifteenth in which a group of heretical sects would perform the ritual and in which Ernest would be trapped so that he remained regarded as witch and this time, she will not be able to dodge anymore because a stratagem to plunge her has been made.

As planned, only Ernest's tent was near the King and queen's tent. It was done so that no one could infiltrate the princess' tent easily. After Ernest's tent was the tent of the princess Arabella, while the tent of Prince Lucius was far enough from their tent. The soldiers set up a circular tent, it was done so that they could easily know if there was any danger and could directly protect each other in case something unwanted happened.

Amy and Agnes are busy taking down Ernest's daughter's belongings and bringing her into the tent. What they brought first were items where they hid weapons. Let no one know the weapons they are carrying.

Ernest was still with the queen mother and Arabella in the stretcher. They are still together because there is a message that the queen mother has not yet delivered to her two daughters.

"You two must remember, take good care of yourself while you are here especially when you are hunting" said the queen mother.

"Good, Mother. We'll definitely take good care of ourselves."

"Good and remember one thing, don't go anywhere at night, you understand? Especially you, Ernest. You've been accused of witchcraft so you can't go out at night."

"Good, Mother. I'll do it" Alena replied.

"Good, now go to your tent and rest" said the queen mother.

"Thank you, Mother," Alena hugged the queen mother and kissed her cheek on the tail with Arabella. The two of them immediately got off the stretcher and went to their respective tents.

Amy and Agnes are waiting for Ernest's daughter. They thought the princess would take a break but in fact, Alena immediately checked the state of the tent. Amy and Agnes were very surprised, they did not understand what Alena was doing let alone Alena jumping over the land on each side of the tent.

"What are you doing, Princess?" ask Amy.

"See if there are any traps or not!" alena replied while jumping even trampling the ground that was on the side of the tent.

"guesses? Who would set a trap inside the princess tent? After all, the founding members were soldiers who had been sent by the king and they were noble confidants of the king" said Agnes.

"Don't underestimate the situation, Agnes. We must always be vigilant in any situation. What if there is a hole? Do you want to sleep with the snakes?" ask Alena.

"No, of course we don't!" amy and Agnes.

"If so, we should ascertain whether there is a hole or not in our tent."

Amy and Agnes rushed to check, lest any snakes could enter the tent. They did what Ernest did but there was not a single hole they found. Surely they were relieved of it, they even repeated it again to be sure.

Alena crouched down on the other side, she seemed to be pressing down on the ground using two fingers. The tent is so tight, but that doesn't mean no one will be able to get in. He should be careful, be careful with many things because his premonition is getting worse especially the night is getting late.

In the darkness of the forest, a group of people in black robes had already gathered. A girl was already tied to a rope with her mouth covered with cloth. The girl looked terrified looking at the people standing around. They are discussing something of course what they are discussing is their plan tomorrow.

"Is everything ready?" ask one of them.

"Of course, we already have casualties. The queen will definitely be very happy with this offering we got!" the men looked towards the girl they were holding. The girl was young and beautiful, of course it was a victim that was very liked by the person they called the queen.

"Don't make a mistake, tomorrow night we'll have to do the strategy we've planned to trap the loser. The Queen wants her death and her sacrifice so that we are not suspected by society. When people found out that Ernest, the princess they thought was a witch, was dead, they would assume that there were no more witches and at that time, they would have, The queen can be free and we will be even more prosperous!"

"The queen will protect us, so we have nothing to fear!" say the other one.

"True, the woman's blood and her heart will give the queen strength and we will be even more successful!"

Hearing that conversation certainly made the girl who would become the victim of fear. The queen? Who exactly do these people mean? They were in the silence of the night and the darkness of the forest to draw up their plans and no one knew what the group of people were doing.

All have fallen asleep in the tent due to the exhausting journey they took but not with Alena. He who was agitated could not close his eyes at all. His agent's instincts say he shouldn't be in that place because danger is already lurking but he doesn't know what it is.

Alena got up from her bed, she looked out there that was already dark and there was no one. As his mother said, he should not come out of the tent especially at night.

"What are you doing, Princess? Why don't you sleep?" ask Amy who woke up.

"I'm feeling restless, Amy. I can't relax and can't sleep!"

"What's the princess worried about? Is the princess also afraid of snakes?" Amy stepped closer and stood by the princess looking out of the tent.

"No, Amy!" Alena stared at the dark forest for quite a while, she felt that there was something in the forest.

"Then, what makes the princess so worried?" ask Amy again.

"In that dark forest, I felt like I had a really bad premonition, really bad. I feel like there's an evil plan in place, I don't know what we're really supposed to be wary of."

"Don't scare me like this, Princess. I'm afraid something will happen to you" said Agnes.

"No need to worry, but you two don't stay away from me because I'm afraid something's going on between you two."

"Sure, Princess. We'll take good care of ourselves" Amy said.

Alena was still staring at the darkness of the night, the more bad premonitions she felt but she was already there and she would not run away from anything. Danger like anything he had to face therefore he had to dare to face it. After standing for a long time, Alena invites Amy to sleep. Tomorrow there is an unexpected new challenge waiting for them and certainly a hard day that they have to pass.
