Sierra fell on her knees with despair "NO!" she cried
Hero: "There is no time for crying. They will come after you too."
Sierra: "B-but why?! Why did they kidnap her?! Could it be…?" holding her shoulders.
Hero: "I don't know."
Sierra: "…"
Hero: "I promised the commander that I will keep you safe so…"
Someone came toward them running and was trying to kidnap Sierra too.
Hero grabbed her hand and kept running "Run!!"
They kept running and they reached a window but an explosion occurred there.
Sierra: 'Screaming'
Hero: Jumped on her to protect her "You okay?" he noticed that she passed out.
Hero: "Seriously!!!Your timing is very bad princess. You shouldn't... augh she is heavy. What about not letting your guard down? You shouldn't sleep in the middle of this commotion." He held her and trying to sneak outside the palace. "I will protect our princess no matter what!!"
A voice in his head. "Take Sierra outside the palace. She shall never remain here."
Hero: "!"
Soldiers were coming from both sides.
Hero ran as if he knew his way in the palace and lost the soldiers. And then opened a secret door in the wall and stayed there.
He was hearing the enemy's footsteps behind the walls
Soldier 1: "Where is she?"
Soldier 2: "We have to find the other princess."
Soldier 3: "The castle has fallen into our hand."
Soldier 4: his voice wasn't clear "….dfsdgfdyttuvtghjjfjj….Maximal…."
Soldier 5: "At least they took care of the King and the Queen."
Soldier 6: "The palace has fallen!"
Inside the hidden passage.
Hero: "The palace… has fallen."
Hero: "…" He looked serious and then he moved with the secret passage until he reached outside the capital while holding Sierra.
He looked at her face while he was running.
It was his time to leave again, to where he came from so he was lucky because the carriage was waiting for him outside the capital.
..........
The time has passed and Sierra woke up
Sierra: "Uhh… Where. Where am I?" she looked around there are two big coffins. The single coffin is enough for two people.
Hero: "We are on a carriage and it will take us far away from the capital.. I need to get you outside the capital right now. It is not safe at all for you."
Sierra: "What?! Why?!"
Hero: "The palace has fallen. Do you still want to go back? The kidnapper might come and get you."
Sierra: her eyes were widely open. "But mother…. Father…!"
Hero: "Don't worry. I know they are safe. But we need to get you away from the palace and the capital itself.
The carriage was moving.
Hero: "Great that you wield swords even in your birthday party."
Sierra: "I'm a knight. It is my duty to carry the sword to use it whenever is needed." She placed her hands in the air and two swords appeared out of nowhere.
Hero: whistled "Heh… knights…"
Hero: He smiled wide with his teeth showing while he was watching outside.
Sierra: "What's wrong?"
Hero: "I think we shouldn't be worried about anything else more than this." and he pointed at someone from outside the cover of the carriage.
♦ ♥ ♣ ♠
Sierra: "Yikes!"
Hero: "Shh… don't worry." he was smiling with confidence "The knights…. Maybe they are not aware of the idea that you are also in danger if you go back. We shall not let them take you back to the capital again."
Sierra: "What should we do?"
Hero: "Shhh…"
Hero: "…Keep calm." Whispering to her and smiling with confidence
Guards: "This is a checkpoint. Please show us everything inside the carriage."
Cart man: "I cannot show you. These are coffins of dead people. I will take them to their hometowns"
Guards: "I'm sorry but these are the orders. The princess has gone missing. We need to check the cart and everything in these coffins. We must find the princess and take her back to the palace."
Sierra and Hero inside the coffin
Sierra: "They are from the Capital. Why are we hiding from them?
Hero: "Sierra… The Palace has fallen. The Queen and the King are surely in hiding. If the palace has fallen, that means the knights now are following another leader's orders. The kidnapper will sure come to get you too if you went back.If there is any chance we can get out of this, it would be pure luck. It's a miracle that we found left the palace without the kidnapper's notice."
Sierra: Aniston came on her head. "(Not all of them.)"
Sierra: "But how? I'm responsible for this so…yes, maybe. Maybe if I told Aniston he will help us." She was going to show herself off.
Hero: Grabbing her hand "Shh…"
Guard: "Princess Sierra has gone missing. We need to make sure she does not leave outside the capital. These are orders from commander Aniston. Reveal what is inside the coffins now."
Cart man: "You have no manners! How could you do such a thing? And you call yourself a knight of justice."
Guard: "You gave us no choice old man."
Sierra was sweating and Hero was watching with smile and confidence.
The guards opened the cloth above cart and he found two coffins. They went toward the coffin to open it.
Sierra and Hero were inside the big coffin, both of them.
Hero and Sierra became nervous and sweating. Swallowing. But Hero is still have a big smile in his face.
???????: "Stop it!"
Sierra: From inside the coffin. "This voice…" she looked at Hero.
Aniston: "If they were real corpses and they were revealed under my instructions, I will never forgive myself. Search somewhere else."
The guards saluted Aniston. "Ha!"
Sierra: She was amazed about what she heard… "Aniston…" She was smiling with blush.
Hero: "Heh… He never changes."
Sierra: "Hero… I think we should tell him---" She was about to show herself but Hero grabbed her hand.
Hero: "Wait wait have you lost your mind?"
Sierra: "He might help us. I don't see why not."
Hero: "You will be taken directly to the palace. Is that what you want?"
Sierra: She looked at hero "…no…but."
A sound from her head appeared: "(Do not go back to the palace at all cost.)"
Sierra: "…Huh!" "(This voice is familiar…)"
Hero: "(I know he's Her fiancé but it's strange. If the palace has fallen, that means the knights now are following another leader's orders. It is obvious that the princess will not be safe returning back to the palace. What's going on?)"
Sierra: She was relieved to hear Aniston's voice any way. In a quiet relieved voice "Aniston."
When the cart moved a little bit now, Sierra opened the box to watch Aniston from afar.
Hero: "(I didn't want to tell her that her parents were caught …. Not yet.)"
…..
When the cart was far away from the knights
Aniston: "Any clue about the princess?"
Soldiers: "Not yet sir."
Aniston: "…I see…" And looked down and closed his eyes. His grasp was shaking.
A bit far away inside the cart
Sierra: "…Aniston…"
